5wks in Tekong..

Seriously these 5 weeks in tekong has been the healthiest lifestyle I had in my entire life.. lol.. why is that so, u'll see as I talk about my venture in the army. Basically there're so many things to write about, guess I'll just go in sequence of whatever comes up my mind now.

Basic Daily Routine
0530 - Standard waking up time but I prefer waking up at 0515 else every time the toilet will be full house, brush teeth also have to queue up.
0545 - Fall in for 5BX (5 Basic Exercise). Btw..in Mohawk company, the 5 bx is dunno how many times more 'xiong'.. 1st thing in the morning.. SWEAT~
0600 - Breakfast
0630 - Area Cleaning. Cleaning up our bunks and basically whenever there's an inspection, the Sergeants will dig into the every single corner with his baby finger to search for dirt. Once he sees dirt on his finger.. =) 'gong hei lei~'
0715 - 1st Parade and followed by commencement of PT (Physical Trainings) up till lunch time.
After lunch, we'll have either breaks or lectures.. PT will start again around 1500 due to hot weather as to prevent heat stroke. And that will last till dinner time. After dinner will be another short break followed by CRO (Company Routine Orders) sort of a meeting held to brief about next day's activity.
Last thing will be OTOT (Own Time Own Training). Either you change into PT attire and 'pia' like hell, or you kay si pretending to be doing some workout on your own which you're actually not.
2130 - Admin time up till 2230. This is the time where you do your own stuff like laundry, polish boots, talkingcock session with bunkmates and playing other's guitar. =x it's too troublesome to bring my own..

So you can see, a total of 2 to 3 PT sessions a day, plus healthy diet from cook house, plus standard 7 hours of sleep daily. I swear that my life has never been this healthy..lol

Trainings
Route March - In Full Battle Order march for 24km. But they do in a progressive manner such that they start from 2km slowly increasing. So far I did until 6km, so far so gd. As long as you enjoy singing with your platoon mates, route march shouldn't be a problem except for the 'maps' you get under your feet. There's once I kena a blister around the shape of Malaysia's map.. double layer some more as in the blister burst, then another blister within the same one. What can I say, Song arh~~~

Some of the deadly static exercises are Diamond push-ups, Wide arm push-ups, Alternate leg tusk, leg raise, duck jumps, burpies. These may sound easy, but when they comes in 20 counts of 4.. you call for ti gong also wun't answer you.. lol. What to do, positive mindset lo.. after that you get fitter.. jump also jump higher.. run also run faster.. oh ya.. my 2.4km run improved from 11.35 to 10.22.. not very fantastic result but to me it's a great improvement.. =)
I just had this camouflage lesson. LOL~ trust me it's damn fun.. At first they bring us to this place full of bushes to spot 2 sergeants being camouflaged in it. 1 badly done and 1 very well camouflaged. The one which is badly done actually drew a panda eye on 1 side like the 'jia you jian gou' lol~~ and the 1 which is well done really impressed me..

So it's time for us to try out, when we 1st apply the camou cream.. and then you start to sweat, machiam drinking milo sia.. drip non-stop.. Then comes to plucking natural leaves and stuff onto our clothings so that we can hide in bushes. This sergeant scolded my platoon mate 'oie don't be a cock lah! Ask you camouflage yourself not to build a tree know !' lol.. he did looked like a tree after 'over-stuffing' of leaves.. next is machiam playing hide and seek, we must camouflage ourselves in a given time limit such that the sergeants cannot see us but we can see what's happening. I simply dived into this bush and found both my palms full of thorns.. SONG ARH~~~ next time must see properly..cannot anyhow suka suka dive into it..

Punishments which are lame but funny at times
Lets say when you lean on the wall/pillar, you'll be asked to push against the wall/pillar and shout out loud to everyone 'Help! Help! THE WALL IS FALLING !' for 10 times.

Sometimes when superiors are talking and you couldn't hear clearly, natural reaction will be 'Har ?' Just by doing that they will ask you repeat 10 times ' Har~ Har~ Har Lan Pah~' They expect you to say ' Sorry sergeant / sir, could you please repeat again'.

Heads Out is what sergeants do when they need to announce something when everyone is in the bunk. They will shout 'Mohawk Heads Out' and everyone stick out their heads from the corridor to show that they're listening.. My buddy was asked to shout for heads out and announce 'I'm a cock' for 10 times..
So these are some stupid punishments given when you did something which they think is stupid. -_- what I think is the one who came out with these idea is the stupid one.

K lar.. actually still got many more..perhaps save it for next time. 2 weeks confinement coming up due to fieldcamp, the nightmare of every soldier. I know Ti Gong will look after me~ =)
