Life in NS so far

It's been 1 year and 2 months since I enlisted.

8 more months to ORD.

What have I learned in NS?
It's been so damn long that I hardly remember civilian life anymore.

But throughout this 1 year and 2 months, I'm really sure I've learned a lot.

From military skills to values that can be applied in life.

Let's just take a look at one of a conversation I had with my friend back in BMT one year ago.

One of the first few people I've met in my army life.

This conversation happened when we just POP-ed and got our postings.

If I were to put myself in my shoes 1 year ago, I'll be proud of where I am right now.

Leading a platoon of 31 guys.

It's time to reflect upon my army life, and finish these last 8 months to the best that I can be.

And make sure these 8 months will be inspiring and life changing for my men as well.

So weird to feel like a RECRUIT / OCT all over again.

Happy belated SAF day!

English: 

As I chase my dream, I got lost deep in the forest of my heart. 
Rather than mirrors, it’s the clear sprint, that reflected a warped smile. 

These tears that I have shed (Don’t Cry), gold or silver they won’t be. 
Those commonly seen tears (Fall From My Eyes), goddess won’t even notice them. 

True Dream Chasing, Chasing, 
Surpassing the greatest I’ve ever been even more. 
The instant Chasing Chasing, 
That’s who I’ll become, a person I’ve described, the flame that burns in one’s heart! 

Na na na na na na na Oh 
Na na na na na Hey Hey

The Hero who run past through that!

14 more days

2 MORE WEEKS TO PARADE.
HANG IN THERE.
I'M GONNA MAKE IT THROUGH.
I CAN ALREADY SEE MY KHAKI BERET. (Literally)
2 MORE WEEKS TO WEAR IT WITH PRIDE.

Really love my syndicate section.
How all of us just clicked in two weeks.
Hahhaha.
Two more weeks!
Let's go.

OCS

Ocs has taught me how to become an officer.
Ocs has also taught me that one never stop becoming an officer.
It has been a month since I have commissioned and now I'm thinking whether the old me will respect the me now.
Whether 2LT Wee Pin is respected by OCT Wee Pin.
Never forget your roots and the values you stand strong to when you're a cadet.
Use this GCC to prove that a rank doesn't mean anything, but the personal qualities.
Stand strong, be an undying warrior and GCC will be the best memory in your unit life.
Never be proud when you wear this rank.
Be humble and learn from everyone.
Respect all kinds of people.
Be someone that you will give respect to.
Basically, self respect.
GCC is going to get tougher as the days past.
But looking back, OCS was tough too and I managed to throw my peak cap.

19 more days...

DOWN DOWN DOWN

DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN
It made up 50% of the words I hear over the past 5 days.
3 more weeks to go.
Come on.......

day 1

First day has passed.
R&D here is crazy.
Did almost 300 push ups on the first day.
As pt and as tekan.
Found the tekan really tougher than in Ocs.
Like different level.
Really have to count on those buddies beside me to pull through.
26 more days to khaki!
Come on

2014

It's been almost 5 years since I had this blog.
Every time I write here, I still feel a sense of relief.
Like I can see my thoughts coming out in black and white.
And feels like trouble leaving my head onto these pixels.
I've been waking up to the thought of GCC almost everyday now.
No time for mental prep because............

GCC STARTS TOMORROW
