TIRED TO THE MAX!
I haven't had any sleep last night, was dota-ing all night long, was like totally knocked out before going to Pulau Tekong with one of my good friend, we both didn't had any sleep, cept for that 1 hour where we struggled to sleep on the morning train, he stays around Pioneer MRT Station, and we're heading for Pasir Ris?! That's one end to another!
We went to the meet-up point and board the bus, arrived at Singapore Ferry Terminal, and it brings back a hell lot of memories, be it the posters, the feul of the Ferries, everything's so familiar =)
We boarded the ferry, and waited for it to be filled up, my friend was beside me, looking tired, we both are I guess. The ferry moved off after a couple of moments, we arrived at Tekong soon after.
Upon arrival, enlistees and families/friends will part their ways for the moment, we went for excursions around Tekong, the enlistees went for briefing, I remember my days when I was an enlistee, haha, felt so alien, so strange, haha, but today, I was there as a visitor, haha, boarded a bus that ferried us around the island, was looking down Tekong highway and the Parade Sq where I POP-ed 2 yrs back, memories really flashes back, felt so emotional, haha, can't help, but took photos, for the first time, I brought a cam phone into Tekong and shot photos, for once they allow, haha.
They showed us around the Stadium, Medical Centre, Bunk and cook house, and this scenario always happens, those RECs will try to act like an Old Bird, which irritates me, because, where were they went I was there? But that's human nature I guess, we went to Orion Company's Coy Line, to take a look, went up to their bunks and Annex room, where RECs can chill, but rarely they'll get to use it, I gaurantee it, we then proceeded to the Lecture room.
Once I stepped into the Lecture room, one thought flashed pass my mind, "Imba good life RECs", I mean, their lecture room has tables and chairs, back in my days we used chairs with those flip-it-up-urself tables, and looking at their equipments, I got so damn jealous, I was issued disposable plastic single-bladed shavers, but towards the end of my BMT, we were issued with Gillette Mach 3 Turbo, now, they're using Gillette Fushion, 5 blades!! costs around $16 each ok? Imba good life RECs.
After that the parents were shown to the canteen, for like ½ hr, then we proceeded to the Main Auditorium, to listen to a speech by the 2nd in charge of BMTC School 2, followed by the Oath Taking session, that really brought emotions to me, spooky how it was just me, 2 years back that was there taking the Oath, everyone did it pretty passionately, and the RECs subsiquently left the Auditorium followed by the parents, we then proceeded for lunch, or food sampling so they say, my friend said he likes the food, oh well, Sch2's cookhouse is imba delicious compared to Sch1, fucked up, lol, we wanted to locate a usable smoking point, for his last stick, but we didn't find one and time is running out, they were all instructed to gather on the parade Sq before they walked off to their company line, I didn't bid goodbye, because I thought they were escorting us to the ferry terminal, so I told him to go off first without saying goodbye, damn, kinda regret it, oh well, I'll see him in a couple of weeks then I guess =)
Finally, headed home to meet up with dear at my place, I pretty much slept the whole evening away, I'm gonna make an exception and upload pictures just for this post, because, it really means something to me.
Following are the photos I took today:
MONOKURO BOO♥
