We were rushing for time the day before. Sleep at 9pm. Wake up at 3am. Pack everything up into our field pack. Wearing Full Battle Order attire.
Ready for the final battle. We have our breakfast and start to do warm up exercise. Ready and everything set. We set off for our graduation route march. 24KM!!!!
Up the hill, down the slope. We bash through the forest. And finally we reach the 24Km end point. I wander how we did it?
Because of our love ones. Waiting for us at the end point. We will all do the best for them.
Then the time has come. We march proudly into the parade square still in Full Battle Order (damn shagged) Although we were very tired. We managed to pull through. Standing under the hot sun for 30mins in the parade square.
Finally, we march out and take off all the loads. Ran in as a company in only our uniform. Form up and stand still. The happy moment, my family and dear came down and find me. My mum put the cap on for me. The feeling at that time is a kind of feeling that cant be describe with any words. I feel that all the pain that I have gone through has worth it.
Lastly, we display the BMTC Roar. And prepare our caps. The MC announced: I hereby announce them as TRAINED SOLDIERS! POP LO!!!! We threw our cap proudly.
Ran out of the parade square and take our stuffs. Go back to our company to take our food. Play with our sergeants and officers. Throwing them up. Sergeant Over Head!!! Officer Over Head!!!
Go back parade square and take photos. And leave the beautiful place called Pulau Tekong.
After that, my family go to Bugis. I went home. Bath already. Rush out to have my family dinner. Of cos, not forgetting dear. She join in our dinner as well. (future daughter-in-law)(She gonna kill me if she read this :P )
Well, gonna rest well now. Because I going back to Tekong again for guard duty today.
