sigh... sick

i have been falling sick since my first bookout.. 1 week le still haven't recover. the cough getting worse and worse of all got a flu..
Last week in the camp, i basically just went there for chalet. Skip all those tough exercises and training.. Found myself so sad, not able to do the same things with the others.

Anyway, going to see the doc the second time, hope that this time round the medicine is useful and i can recover by the time i bookout again on this coming saturday...

Do continue to pray for me... Pray that i can recover fast from the cough and flu..
GOD Bless..

1st Book Out...

After 14 days of confinement... Today is my 1st bookout day.. Bookout Bookout day..

The enlistment day was a hectic one.. they never issue me my 11B, cause me to be an illegal immigrant in Singapore which have neither IC nor 11B.. After that, we gather at the foyer for the reheasel of the oath taking ceremony. After the actual oath taking ceremony and some video watching and a simple lunch, which i didn't eat much. That mark the start of my NS life.. We gather and form into our platoon, then section level.. then we went to take our big black heavy bag and our field pack to our bunk. Lucky for me i am at 2nd floor. Follow by a simple haircut to remove all "worries".. I was assign to Pegasus company, Platoon 1, Section 3, Bed 09.. 4D no. 1309.. water Parade IC and toilet 4th IC.

During the 2 weeks, i recieve my "wife".. Carry her for the first time during my first 3km route march.. and the 2nd Full Battle Order 3km route march. The second one was a nightmare, the fieldpack + SBO + my "wife" was so heavy that my right hands went numb and almost fainted..
Lucky for me is that, after that route march i receive my long waited 11B.. yeah.. =)

The Truth Story

It all happened when the boy was invited to a BBQ session that were held to celebrate their classmate birthday. The event change the boy. The next day, the boy was had been interrogated by the parties involved to relieve the secret that would affect his personal life. Under the tremedous pressure, which the boy could no longer take it, the boy relieved the truth.

Since that day onward, the boy began to fall in love with the truth that he held deadly with for so long. Till today, the boy still could not forget the moment of shocking and the reactions of the parties who was there when the truth was told, especially the truth itself. The end.
