Was browsing thru the phots i took in army. Hmmm, no wonder pple say things may be tough at that moment. but once u get past it and look at the photos, u will find wonderful memories in it. so now this entry will be no talk but all photos. Enjoy~!
Enlisted in 21st August 2003. BMTC Orion~
In bunk with my bunkmates During BMT. That was like em 3rd week in army?
bmtc was like a steeping stone to evrything ahead. got SOC (Standard Obstacle Course) la, bo-tai-bo-ji-carry-heavy-heavy-bag-march-far-far la, IPPT (forgot name wahaha. onli know its to gauge ur fitness), field camp la and all those things which u do liao will be thinking,
Knn, why cant i jus sleep at home.
acting cute with one of my malay mate. he WAS a good guy. (noticed i use Was) wahahahaa
my section mates...
and my BMT platoon mates...
and slowly then on after Bmt, i moved on to SISPEC Bravo
my SISPEC section mates. sispec life sucks. boring n boring.
after 3 months of training in SISPEC, i was posted to be a combat engineer. That was when i realise the nightmare had actually just begun....
i was posted as Bridging Specialist. but i was still a Corporal then. only upon finishin the training den will i promote as 3rd Sergeant.
The place was like a jail....
Evry Morning we woke up at 5am and sleep at 2am.. the whole day was just filled with....
..training...
... and training...
.. and and training..
....and more training
(doesnt he look just shagged)
.. bloody non-stop training.. by the way, this picture time taken was 3am..
and once we have even jus 5 min of rest time.....
we sleep...
... and we sleep...

Talk too much. LETS TAKE A PHOTO!@
Max Birthday~! Notice his face was clean
Therefore we gave him a little face camouflaging lesson..
Soon I graduated From This Bridging Specialist Training and was officially promoted to ..
3RD SERGEANT~
and i was posted to Bravo, An Operation-Ready Company in June 2004.
over there was a total different new lifestyle. The only good thing which i can name is that i get to go out at nights. Other than that, N-O-N-E~!
But luckily, I get to know 11 other person which i spent the rest of my army life working hand in hand with.
The 12 Almond Specs.. Minus 3. The 3 Buggers went for Studies. Envy of them. they are release from the clutches of the devil.
The rest of the Almond Platoon.
Well, highlight of my life when i was in Bravo was definitely the trip which i went on September 2005 to Thailand for overseas training.

The finale came when we were embarking on our Final Mission. Exercise - XXXXXX
We went thru endless briefing and moved off at 10am on that very 1st day
Moving off in the mountains..
One of our holding area. Right infront of a temple. for what?
perhaps to get some blessing?
Bridging Engineers In action
While if ya wana know wats my vocation(particular occupation), i am a Tugboat Commander, this is my baby..
on the last day of the Exercise, our mission was to build a bridge. and the bridge is very special, its very significant. It is the last bridge i am gonna touch in my army career. after this bridge, no more touching of these equipments~!
Building In Progress...
Bridge Done. The Last Bridge..
The 4 Tugboat Commanders. Centre guy is not, he is just a Part time Canafare.. haha
Ladies & Gentlemen, Hail The Almond Platoon
After this bridge, was basically the best day of my life. Its an undescribable feeling. esp the thought when i know i wont ever touch it again...
and at the end of evrything, we had a End-Of-Frame Dinner..
Waiting for dinner. fuck it. i am Hungry~~
and guess what. this dinner fall on 22nd of September. One day before my birthday. Guess they held it for me? haha
after dinner, the whole platoon adjourned and head to the canteen for some beer drinking
oOps, did i mention some?
The 2 Birthday Boy~
We drank like no one business and was surprise to see the rest of the people from my company. and when guys go mabok, they go mad.... and highhhhh
We erupted the canteen with our super high Yam Seng....
and I tell you....
We really erupted it..
the canteen was not only filled with our people, but had people from other units too. we stand onli round 30% of the people. but it was jus erupted with our shouts.. i mean scream...
I was really dead drunk at the end of evrything...
but well, i was really happy... it was fun...
the next few days, we went sight seeing. quite bo liao, or should i say damn bo liao. i jus wished for the day to go back Singapore. i miss the food and certain special someone.
and the day came..
same place when we 1st landed.... but damn. what was the feeling den...
Same plane with a different feeling..
And soon after, it was Welcome to Singapore..
Not long after that, i started to clear leave and officially took my Pink Ic on 20th Dec 2005.
Thinkin back, i was quite glad those days were so tough. if not, i wont have such fond memories as i look back upon them now. i am really glad i met those people along the way.
Hereby Wish All the Best to those People I met...
