Celebrating the progress

yest we bronco plt 4 02/07 gathered for a cause. we celebrated the 2-year anniversary of our enlistment! i bet most of my friends don't do that. becoz, unfortunately, their bmt was not long enough for them to bond with their platoon mates, and their 2-year anniversary ain't special anyway, whilst mine is a ord weekend.

not everyone turned up though. prolly about 55% attendance. but my section only had 3 ppl including me. quite sad. but we still had a great time. even though we only had dinner at F&Co and a few went for a movie, it was great catching up old times and sharing our experiences.
Can't believe we still talk about the horror incidents that happened back then. haha. in fact, jackie revealed another story that took place in Pegasus coy. though skeptical, we found the story exciting. well... there was this 2 recruits who went to the toilet in the middle of the night to pass motion. as they were almost done, they heard the toilet flush. both thought the other was done, but after asking each other, they realised that it must be someone else. however, they did not notice anyone else in the toilet. as they were washing their hands, the tap beside 1 guy suddenly depressed, and water flowed into the basin. they were not sure if it was because the tap was faulty. nevertheless, the guy beside that mystery tap pulled back the tap into it's "off" position before they hurried back to sleep, in worry that their sergeant might reprimand the platoon for leaving the tap on. so why did the tap beside the soldier suddenly depress? was it the water pressure? was it their drowsiness that made them oblivious of the flowing water? quite a mystery i would say....

41 DAYS; COUNTDOWN TO PINK
1st entry

So here goes... the plane is on the runway now, on a silent countdown to takeoff. And yes, I'm on my own countdown to ORD, the big day of many men of Singapore.

As the engines pick up speed, the aircraft started to move. Oh my, the acceleration is thrilling, and within seconds we have liftoff! At a ground speed of 400+km/h, I'm actually feeling a lil dizzy. Soon enough my eardrums are 'popping', at an altitude of 3km off the ground. Here I am, wondering "what am I doing on a SIA Raffles Class flight... to Brunei?"
