woke up in the wee hours of the morning to go to dear's house to send him off for BMT! =)
reached his house at 7.30am.
had to wait for his cousin to arrive.
well, his mum thought i was not in proper attire as i was in shorts and sandals.
but it ended up that people were wearing that in!!! haha.
but i changed into the long pants and his mum shoes already liao..
it was such a refreshing experience for me to go to tekong.
my virgin trip there..
well, the facilities are very good.
guess that's where the taxes go to!!
to the MEN who are serving and protecting us!!! it is all worth it!!!
had a tour around the place..walk here walk there.
saw marching and shouting..
saw their bunks..12 people in a bunk..
4 bunks in one platoon...
and dear is in the P Company. :)
witnessed their oath taking ceremony.
they said 'WITH MY LIFE' very loudly.
i guess is because to emphasize that they are all devoted to serve Singapore.
then after that, had lunch with dear at their cookhouse.
perhaps to also get a feel of what they will be eating and how they queue up for their food.
after that, dear has to assemble in the parade square.
and this is where we officially parted. :(
he is booking out on 26th july evening!! i am so looking forward to this date!!!
TEKONG
A PLACE WHERE BOYS BECOME MEN.
