12 and a half weeks has finally come to an end. Upon receiving the posting at the last day of SISPEC, lots of question came upon my head, as I had no idea what artillery is about. Day one, was meeting up with Melvin and Jonathan. Jonathan is late, so Melvin and I were waiting at the guardroom. We were one of the earliest there, as we saw a lot of stranger CPL carrying duffer bags and field pack in. Monkey-see-monkey-do, more and more people were standing beside us, don't waiting for what. Finally, one of the sgt asked us to proceed to the AI lobby. We get out camppass with a big 'TR' (which represents trainee). I tease Melvin with it as his initial is also 'TR'. We were then guide by one of the sgt (should be sgt YY) to level 6, where our bunk is. He then read out the list of names by bunk and bed level.
Being in bunk 5, I know nobody there. The first guy who interact with me was Kah Huei. There were only 7 person at that bunk, and I was sitting on bed 7. We rest a while before unpacking. Later, Kah huei n I realise we got the bed number mixed up, so we decided to shift the whole campboard instead of shifting all the stuff in the cupboard.
At 10 plus, we proceed to the lecture room. Here comes another guy who entered into the room with his duffer bag and field pack. I regconise him as he was one of my coy mate in SISPEC. He then explained the reason for being late. He was later allocated to my bunk.
As time goes by, my interaction with my bunkmate is increasing, where the bond is forming. Soon, it's the platoon bonding and even with towed course people.
At week 6, SAF commitment day start. Being the security personnel, we enforce the security.
"So what is your purpose here?"
"My purpose here is to deny any unauthorize personnel from entering the parade square within my sector of responsibility"
"Where is your sector of responsibility?"
"Allow me to orientate you to my map, on the left is the road leading to carpark C, followed by block 19 building where the swimming pool is, and on the right will be the warriors' hall. My sector of responsibility is the left side of the road leading to carpark C, to the right side of the road where the black signboard is, leading to carpark I."
My partner, Wen Bin, the sgt in charge and I makes up area Zulu. We started talking cock during rest time. However, our job really sucks when the actually day comes.

After SAF day, towed side had their 2 weeks of 'xiong' period and soon POP. When they POP, we still have around 3 to 4 weeks left, and that's when our intensive training comes.
Training -> SumEx -> live firing->POP.
We had our POP yesterday. A simple award ceremony is held in one of the lecture room, with the presentation of some awards and certificates and presentation of rank. Congrats Guo Hong, Melvin and Ping Jim. We wear our velcro rank to lunch at the cookhouse, which is out last meal together as a course. Soon, area inspection and we bid goodbye. All the best people, meet up soon and keep in touch! =)

There are so much things to let it out, I just feel like letting it all out, however, whenever I wanted to do so, something just suppress me from doing it.
When he ask me if I am happy with it, I just could not give him a definite answer. There's just too much of the mixed feelings. I seriously think life sucks.
The last phase of the course, live firing, has finally come to an end. Woke up at 2 plus in the morning and shoot all the way to 1 plus the next day, which is around 23 hrs. 080808 is not a good day for me. I feel kind of depress.
Today is national day. Singapore celebrate 43rd birthday this year. Slight rain just now, luckily it doesn't affect the show.
Last week to 3sg.
4 days to POP.
The hotate cream udon with cheese from Waraku . (just look at the size of the freaking bowl!!) 
Kai Yong's 21st birthday celebration on his chalet
Hoohoo!!! Summary Exercise is over, meaning it's near to the end of the course.
This week:
Monday --> Remaining Lecture(s) to be covered
Tuesday --> MD test
Wednesday to Friday --> Summary Exercise!!! Quite tiring because not much of sleep, but however, not as bad as I thought. I think I make a lot of mistakes, but I think I got learn from it more or less.
Bunk 5 lunch gathering yesterday at Marina Square's Waraku Japanese Restaurant. 1st timer there, so took quite a while to decide what to eat. Finally, decide to try the hotate cream udon with cheese. Tasted not too bad, but a bit expensive. Just no idea why would they want to use such a huge basin-size bowl for serving. After eating, we just roam around marina square and sentec area. Saw some familiar faces at suntec. (around 6 of them!)
Watched "Money no enough 2" just now.
Before watching, saw some negative comment of this movie from the newspaper. After watching, I don't think it's as bad as they claim to be. As usual, Jack's movie has got a silmilar chacteristic. Almost all of his movies plays on audience's feelings. His movie are usually touching, educational and funny. Touching will usually base on the kinship between family. The show also voice out what problems do typical singaporeans' faced. Therefore I was kind of supportive of his movie all these while. He really know what singaporean wants to watch. For this, it is worth watching. =)
21 hours to book in.
10 days to POP.
