Finally, after 5 long months, my stay in the ‘chalet’ of Pulau Tekong is over.
Upon reflection, I must admit that it has been an enriching experience.
Firstly, January to the beginning of March was spent in Ninja company, where I was shown the ’shiong’ side of army.
Mid-March to the end of April was spent in the Scabbard, where I saw officers in a different light, while learning how to do domestic duties, such as cleaning toilets and vacuuming floors.
Finally, I spent 6 weeks in Dragon company, where I saw the slacker side of BMT, along with a motley crew of trainees (I was one of a handful of recruits in a sea of soon-to-ORD fellows).This was totally different from the ‘A’ Level leadership of Ninja in January, and it was a challenge adjusting to the different attitudes some of the guys in Dragon had.
All in all, I thank God for seeing me through this first phase of NS, and trust that He will see me through the next 17 months.
POC loh!

In other news, Prince Caspian had criminally cheesy lines, including bad pick-ups such as this:
“keep the horn, you’ll never know when you need to call me again”
I laughed so hard I got a cramp, and was also left Casp-ing for breath. -.-
