I got posted into Pegasus Company. Exact location is Platoon 3, Section 1, Bed 7. 2 weeks (actually is 2 weeks plus) flew and it was my first book out yesterday. As usual, my platoon was always the last for everything. Parents visiting day also the last to see or parents, booking out also last to book out in the company and end up sharing the fast craft with Taurus company. Reach mainland, Singapore at around 1pm. My parents came to fetch me and on the way send Calvin home also.
The wise thing to do after booking out is go straight home because in army uniform, there are ALOT of restrictions. Went home took a bath, changed and went to Kenny Rogers for lunch. I ate like there was no tomorrow, my whole plate was full of ribs and chicken bones. In Tekong, for every meal I only finished half of it because the food there is that lousy. I think the worst food in Singapore is still better than Tekong food.
Met up with LiXiang and co for dinner, Terry and Jackey did not turn up, no idea why. Went to NYDC for dinner and catching up. Time seems to have pass very fast during yesterday night.
Today, went to Lei Garden for Tim Sum with my family and walked round Orchard Road after that. The feeling I got is that it has been 1 year since I been to Orchard.
Came home took a nap before writing this entry. My mom is cooking for dinner and I need to reach Pasir Ris Interchange by 2045. When you are having fun, time seems to pass very fast.
Life In Tekong
I find Pegasus Company is quite xiong especially my platoon 3. Always get fucked and always get extra stuff to do.
» 1st road march: March extra 3 rounds around our company area.
» 2nd road march: Did 100+ pushups.
» Stand by area/bed, our things in cupboard get thrown out, do 100+ pushups/alternate leg thrust.
» Admin time (free time) also the least among the whole company.
» Parents visiting day also the last platoon to see our parents among the whole company.
» First time book out also the last platoon to book out among the whole company.
» IPPT Trial test, total of 17 people pass in the whole company, our platoon contributed only 1 pass.
» Tekong food sucks period.
» Tekong is quite windy and seldom rain, in fact only rained 1 time which is during enlistment day.
» Activities are only conducted in the morning, late afternoon and night.
» Everywhere you go, you need to march or double up(run) to show a sense of urgency which I think is quite dumb.
» Lights off normally at 2230. I always wake up at 0500, even though they state 0530. If you wake up at 0530, you will be late. We need to fall in by 0545.
» For my company, Indian and Malay sergents are very guai lan/xia lan.
» BMTC is not that big.
» SOC is quite fun.
» The time they give you to change/eat/fall in are always very short, hardly got time to catch a breath or rest.
» Army liability reduce from 2 years 6 months to 2 years 2 months.
Coy – Friends
» Charlie – ZhiWei
» Hawk – Kenny
» Taurus – WeiQuan, Calvin
» Ulysses – Alvin
» Viper – Victor

zhi wei in the company charlie ah? next time u book out i shall tell u a story abt charlie’s company – ‘The Charlie 13’… (^.^)
Well glad you actually came back in one piece! & welcome to eh green card club! 😀 mmm yea I always tend to dislike my sgts back then, but all in hand thats the army & soon you will see the light of things too come, esp when you are passing out from BMT – you will find that theres always a reason to everything. And tis all bout building long term trust & brotherhood. 😉 Moreover BMT (and the army) is another good place to meet up with new friends before entering the working world.
If you say BMT is not that big.. soso loh, have you seen school 1? & BEYOND that? then you can’t deny that tekong is actually THAT big, esp when you are doing your 24km grad march with the whole BMT.
Nevermind, one day if I am there I can give you a tour, my months training there I can show you anywhere in the island inside out! Just chill and keep training dude, & I can gurantee 3-4 pull ups in one month if you try, I’ve been there, seen & conquered. 😉
the BMTC schools take up actually a really, really tiny piece of tekong if you look at the map or any satellite photo 🙂 but i thought that the food was actually rather nice when i went there…
don’t take the sgts too seriously; they’re just trying to be funny. far from being as powerful as they like to make themselves out to be, they get arrowed with work and extras all the same. imo, the only time you really, really need to be on guard is in bmt, and after when you pass out you can be a bit more slack. ^_^
Thanks guys for the advice, army life so far sucks =(
song boh!.. lol.. siong ler i find it… run until my leg wanna break… pump until u cannot feel ur arms… shiok! haha.. shag until no need do anything head hit pillow koon lioa..lol.. dunno u siong anot but charlie coy sure siong..lol.. saf day got see me anot?lol.. i hcarlie coy right marker.. cause too tall liaoz..lol
the food not bad lar… piang u so kua zhang.. anyway.. cs and yonghao same company with me… and… i think our platoon more xiong than u in terms of area cleaning.. LOL~~
Klaus -> “i think our platoon more xiong than u in terms of area cleaning.. LOL~~”
i dunno how “xiong” ur area cleaning is. In our company, we got (1)stand by bed (2) stand by area and (3) stand by Universe.
Stand by Universe simply means everything that can be touch or seem have to be clean. the cupboards (both) and the beds have to “ke-kanan luslus” (dunno how to spell). if its not clean or not in lines, then the centre of the bunk will have a christmas tree (all the cupboards + all ur stuffs hanging on it).
somehow i think my platoon area cleaning still more worse than u… even we sleep… we leave the bunk… have to be in stand by area condition… a few times got tornado le… and u all got tio the bed frame inside must clean? the area behind the metal cupboard? for the toilet… ur ps got take out the urinaer to see inside got stains? lol
ok charlie company is the best.. not so xiong..whahaha… charlie COY best! XD
Klaus, out stand by area/bed.universe is the same as yours. Toilet also almost the same.
When we leave the bunk, it has to be stand by area, we got tekkan before.
It’s impossible for the bunk to be clean at all times…
oh. my rsm reaches into toilet bowls in his long four and digs out shit behind the curve.
