The beginning of the end? Nah.....

Excerpts from Tekong diary -- Aug 21th 2004 Saturday It is officially the start of the PTP phase. Last night however wasn't a great experience at all, having to go through the night without much sleep. And its no coincidence either. Like my sargeants said, "first night always like that one". In the morning, we did 5BX. I was never used to doing exercises early in the morning. Felt like crap la. Then we proceeded to the cookhouse for breakfast and sweating like fuck. Must get use to that too. All the sweating and dirt and whatever. Basically, today is quite relax. Didn't have much physical activities. There were lectures and some minor stuffs like assembling our SBO(standard battle order) and shit. And special mentions goes out to the weather. Superb... Anyways, bout my bunkmates.....in bed order Shafiq: equivalent to my secondary school mate, Erfie. Quiet and look decent but i think he's a direct opposite of that. Chun Long: A newcastle fan like me. Doesn't talk much but definitely a good guy. Shankar: A nice guy. Abit kancheong at times and its only 2 days in. Geez... Irritating when he talks though. My buddy.. Ramdan: Aka Rambo. We gave him the nick. Abit of a feisty character although small built but fit i must say. Super loud all the time. Nigel: Really clicked well with him. A cool guy with an attitude. Gonna be good buddies with me. Fuad: What more can i say? My long lost primary school mate. Fate brought us together and i will make full use of it. Kenny: Ah beng. The face like @!$%&^$#. No more comments Yue How: Another one that i really clicked with. Big size, wth a small heart like a gentle giant. Full of jokes, humor and himself. Julian: The baby of the bunk. Only 18 but look more mature than me. Studies in America and speaks good english, no american slang though. Nice guy. Allen: Looks very cute with his botak head and specs. Haven't really talked to him much. Eric: Mr fit. My equivalent to Vincent Ng's character Ricky in 'Heartlanders'. LIKe totally..... Well, they were the closest friends i had in tekong. I will never meet such a happening group of guys. We were in fact the most happening bunk in platoon 1 as i would come to find out. Wish my stay there would have been longer but too bad, i had to leave them earlier. Really missed them so much. But whatever time i spend with them i will keep them in my memories. Cya guys around and don't lose contact :)
