its all over.

finally. yes. finally. bmt is over. its e end of e beginning. e real deal is goin to start on 19th Sept.

on POP day. e weather has been kind to us. its is not as hot or wet compared to our rehearsals. e clouds were there. e wind was there. it was a cooling parade. we have passed out. we have completed our basic military training. we are e trained soldiers.

e moment finally came after 13 weeks. e day we all have been looking forward to. e parade started on e dot. we were all ready n prepared by 2. waited at e fup from 3pm. e whole parade started with Pegasus n Mohawk displaying their drill stuffs in front of e guests. n soon after that, e cue was given n we all marched out with pride n gusto to e beats from e band. everyone marched like we have never marched before. e sense of pride
can be seen on all our faces. of course, e happiness. though it might be a simple parade, but to most of us, it is a significant one. this marks e beginning. i do not know how to describe e feeling e moment i stepped onto e parade square.

everything seems to flash. it only seems yesterday that i came to tekong to be a recruit. but now, i m marching out to b passed out. times seems to fly. i m sure to miss e fun i have in Orion. though i have been repeating this in my previous posts, but i have to say it again. this memory i have of e past 13weeks will never be gone. it will always stay here with me throughout my life. call me sentimental call me cheesy or call me emo. but i dun care. cos i know, i have truly enjoyed myself this 13weeks. all e sweet n bitter moments.

people always say, time n tide waits for no man. behold n b appreciative of what u have. now i have truly understood the meaning of this line. now that bmt has officially ended, n most of us will be separated. i do hope that we can still get connected in a way or another. cos this 13 weeks have brought a new meaning to e term friends. what are friends? are friends those whom u wana go out thn u call thm? or are friends ppl who will stay by yr side n share yr joy n sorry with you? or are friends ppl call u up only when u r in need n chuck u aside when they do not need u? to me. i have found the answers to e term friends. they are e ppl who will stay by yr side through thick n thin. they r those will not shun u or outcast u when u do something wrong. i have found those in bmt. eddie, hock, yz, edward, , farhan bryan, yao ming to name a few. these are the ppl who stood by me when e odds r down. these are the ppl who chiong with me. they are e ones who cheered n pushed me on like what i have done to thm. inter-motivation is e key to a good friendship.

bmt has been a memorable n enriching experience. as i embark onto my next phase of NS life, i will carry with me all e values i learnt in bmt with me to my next phase of training which most likely will be sispec. if there is a chance, i would like to go through bmt with those same bunch of ppl again. for without thm, bmt will be very dull.

to end this off. i find this quote very meaningful.

no matter how hard a day will be, the day will always come to an end

wat it means is simple. n matter how shitty yr day will be or how joyful it will be, it will always come to an end. e key is, to treasure the moments be it good or bad. cos it will come to end before u even know it. thats all i have to say. photos will be up shortly.
