At least I managed to clock some mileage in the evening.. Won't feel that guilty for not hitting the track during this long weekend. Haha.

Second last week in camp and the mood's pretty light. No one has the mood to gan us any longer and possibly the only person not in POP mood was the CCI who taught BCCT. Can't really blame him when he's teaching something that everyone, even the commanders, find rather meaningless and retarded.

Drill competition was on Monday and I'm proud to announce that our drill squad, consisting of 80% non-UG people, with two days to prepare, with no practice on Sunday night unlike some other company, and made up of volunteers managed to do the school proud by getting 4th! Yeah, out of 4 companies -.-

Well, at least sY said we marched better than either Cougar or Falcon, and we lost only because of our bearing (so many people never shave..

) and that our CSM told us it was not necessary to point the magazine forward while saluting on the march. And also our commands were given on the right foot for saluting while the others did the left. Oh, we had two substitutes on Monday morning itself as two of our guys were on Attend C.

Of course Dragon won hands down. Please get a CLT from NCC to teach everyone how to spin and throw rifles all over the place for fancy drill. Our fancy drill was like.. cuiiiiii - planned only on that morning itself no less.

No good news for PS JQ; not only did we get last, but it turns out that ALL the drill squads will have to perform their fancy drill during the Graduation Parade on the 8th.. So he had none of his wishes granted then..

Received our company shirt as well.. I have no comments about it. Though sY was like admiring it over his own coy shirt.. which.. is hm. =P

Had Recruits Evening later in the day, and I spent half of it catching up with sY, Jontan and hy outside the hall. SAF MDC put up a slew of wonderful performances, although they tend to think that we are guys with raging hormones locked up in an island devoid of any ladies -.-

Tuesday dawned, and we had our final BCCT lesson which was basically a summary. OC ~~Evening~~Afternoon followed after lunch and our platoon just cheated and sang a few songs. Platoon 3 and 4's skits were hilarious though, especially how they niaoed Yishu tekan-ing Plt 3 and our PC when he keeps interrupting the CDO to give his SOC briefing.. and how he skips 5BX run by making us squeeze then spread three times in a row. And how PS KL always bang so loudly during sedia for first parade. Best thing was Plt 4.. That guy imitated our OC.. but demoted him to 2LT from LTA. And LTA Justin wanted to indent nightsnack for him on Thursday (aka confine him)

Final SOC after partaking in some snacks indented by the commanders, and I did SOC 5 - which means I've never done a full SOC while in BMT. Acheivement eh.. Hamsin from Section 1 clocked 4:04 for the 600m grading..

Crazy man..

Games Day was held on Wednesday morning and our company lost every single game. Lol. We only won one game, and even that was because our commanders were super good at throwing grenades, since one of them was from softball last time haha. Graduation Parade rehearsal followed.. and it was cut short due to the intermittent rain.. (: At night our singing session got extended because all the commanders were trying to get one another to teach us the infantry song. >.<

Another rehearsal was due the next morning and we did the run-through three times until lunch.. And it was very tiring alright.. Marching in and out, everything on and off, under the hot noon sun. Rushed back to company line to pack all my stuff in my locker into the field pack for last bookout and also to send arms, forfeiting my lunch in the meantime. Went down to form up with a super heavy pack as well as a black sling bag in front as I simply had too much things to bring home.. =/ NE presentation at the Main Audi followed and after watching ours and Dragon's skits (theirs abit preachy.. quite irritating =/ so ours still better (: ) we rushed to the ferry terminal for our last bookout!

Yup, the lucky few of us who improved alot for IPPT got to leave at 1530 hrs that day, compared to 1830 hrs for the rest. So.. happy ~~

And then I did nothing worth noting down today. Hais.
Really want to go out, walk around town, chitchat with people, get new clothes, meet up with friends and so on. Too bad nothing was planned for today =/
