Culture shock

My life in NS has always been with tough companies. From Orion in BMT to Hotel in Sispec and then to ETI, it has been shit all the way. Especially, in ETI, where the regimentation is tougher than even BMT. Finally graduating as a 3SG(3 Star General) on Tuesday, i was hoping my crappy luck would run out.

And it did. I was posted to 6SIR, which is a battalion committed to the protection of key installations in Singapore. I didn't really know what to expect, but i heard that life there is good. So with my morale somewhat on the rise, i booked into maju camp together with 9 other specs. And as we got introduced to the camp, our morale just rose higher and higher.

The first sentence we heard when we entered the camp was "It's too late to apologise, it's too late". Woah that just shows how relax the camp is lah. And they were somewhat unprepared for us. As we passed the Spartan wall(they are known as the spartans, and their camp is Home of the Spartans), the first person who came to meet us and bring us around is a ... ... recruit. Right...

so we settled down, they randomly found an unused bunk for us, which was the first culture shock we got. The bunk is the dirtiest place in the world i've ever seen in my life. We spent 3 hrs cleaning it up, and the trash and dust we cleared out filled 8 trashbags full. crazy. And then, they said they had nothing for us, and asked us to book out. like wtf! so ok lor, we booked out, but i stupidly forgot to bring home my keys, which was how i ended up at ajisen with the rest of the girls. yup.

booked back in on wed night, woke up on thurs, and had a 8 km run they last min wanted us to run. cuz they wanted us to run ahm on sunday, which we were not supposed to. lol. then after that, we had practically nothing the whole day, and nights out at night. So slack, i cannot get used to it. like really very bad culture shock, after all the shit i've been through to get this rank(btw, 3SG is third sergeant, not 3 star general. lol). Kept on thinking there was something to do, but there's nothing, cuz the man under us havn't finish their bmt yet. so we have to wait for them. in the meantime, we stone.

Which is good. cuz my camp is near like a hell lot of places. near nus(nights out mayb ellen or yt can show me arnd sch?), near wing's hse(can go?), near jameson's hse(can go?), near yt's hse(no i wun go, i'll die to rard's fury), near ngee ann poly and sim(got cute girls), near a lot of good food(time to pig out), and the list doesn't end. In fact we just went ikea on thurs nights out to buy atable into camp. The guards looked at us like we were aliens. lol.

ok so yup, for now, i can just prepare to sleep more and eat more =) i.e grow fat. till my man come in then start to xiong liao. yay. that's like a few more months. for now, ahm on sunday! ppl running wanna meet up?
