Just came back home from P.Tekong for my brother's send-off. Truly feeling beat. There, we were given a mini tour about Army's activities, amenities, and a meal which allows you to taste the standard of dishes. Nothing fascinating. Long speeches took the centrestage of the day. 1 video presentation and a briefing talk. Food were aplenty, many variety I must admit but still nowhere compared to Hawker or Home-cooked ones. Saw the physical training station. Thought it was rather interesting but will snuff out your energy in a sweep. To backbreaking for me, it appears. There's this thing which is shaped like a pyramid and you have to climb up to the top on the rolling logs carrying your ammunition and stuff. Guess I will only last 2-3 logs before falling off to the ground and make a laughing stock out of myself. Then there's this live grenade throw session every NSmen can attend if they pass some weapons test or whatever. Quite cool. It's like holding some oval objects in your hands and you just needa flung it out and hide yourself behind some barriers and there, you just wiped clean your enemies. Such a smart invention. Really wanna try out grenade throw if I get the chance. I kept telling my brother to get in the Medic unit cuz it seems so... well, awesome and you feel good helping the injured and being part of a natural disaster relief team to aid the others of their suffering. He was trying to shake the idea off me though. But whichever unit you get into 3 months later, just do your best bro! =DD

I'll be leaving for Guangzhou tomorrow. So here's an early farewell.

Byes.
