***Note : As i was looking through my archives i realised that this post was never completed nor posted......i wonder why...maybe it isn't complete? Hahah I'll post it anyway....Good job Alan of 2006! =D***

Alright i'm now gonna attempt to chronicle my NS experience through the pictures i've taken while i've been all over the place. Haha. From the dark jungles of Lim Chu Kang to the typhoons of Taiwan.

It all started out on the 8th of Jan 2005. I readied myself to report on time to BMTC in Pulau Tekong. There i was seperated from my parents and was huddled into a sheltered area, awaiting registration aka "enlistment". There i surrendered my Pink IC and awaited the taking of the Oath of Allegiance. It was something i've always wanted to do since like i dunno when. haha.

BMT


It all began here, i was posted to Scorpion Company Platoon 3, Section 1, Bed 11. My rifle butt number was S111 and my PS was 2SG Suhaimi while my PC was 2WO Liaw.

It was a time of fun and laughter, hardships and tears as i struggled to fulfill my dreams of going to OCS. I found my limits and tried as i might i could not break it. However i did get a reasonable IPPT Silver after trying very hard. I was never the fittest guy in the platoon. haha.


During Route marches, i took on a very interesting role - that of Song IC. I became so proficient in that role that i could mix and match any song together in an instant. I could come up with a medley almost on the spot. My fellow recruits often told me that they wanted this song and i would start it. Haha I even had my own special songs that i came up with. =) It was fun, especially during route marches when you're so tired, someone just shouts "YOUR LEFT~~~ YOUR LEFT~~ YOUR LEFT RIGHT~~~" Hahaha. Bmt was a moment of self-discovery and hastened adaptation. We were put through the metal to attain required skills. We were forcefully guided along the syllabi and made to excel in it.

Live firing was memorable. After all the dry runs and practises, we were finally allowed to fire a live round. Not to mention a live grenade. Haha. It was interesting and memorable. I remembered my hesitation when i took up the rifle for the very first time. When i squeezed the trigger and when the first round when off, i was like "WHOA~~~" hahaha. Seeing the target drop also made it more memorable for me. =)
