POP loh!!! (Part 1)

yes, i finally POP le...POP = Passing out parade,but nowadays for dunno-wat-reason,it becomes Graduation Parade (GP). I POP on last wednesday,10th dec 2008. this day is really significant to me as it offically marks the end of my BMT (basic military training) in P. Tekong. i must say that the 13 weeks in Pulau tekong seems long yet rather short. I felt a sense of achievement when i have completed 24km route march in P. Tekong earlier on the same day. I must say,its not easy but the thought of going to POP in the afternoon spurs me on. Yep!

During the 13 weeks in Tekong. i have gone through a lot of ups and downs. I have learnt a lot of valuable lessons there. At the same time, i have met some of the sergeants and officers who are very nice in person (though they can really fuck u at times,ha!). I am very lucky to met some nice friends there in my attached company (Zulu Company) such San Yang ( my very 1st friend i met in Tekong), Fauzi, Marcus and Alex from Platoon 3, Frankie Wong and Wai Yiu from Platoon 2, William from Platoon 1 and Syamil,Adnan,Kevin, Andrew, Zhiwei and George from my platoon,Platoon 4.

Having mentioned about Platoon 4, i have a lot to comment about cuz i really hate this platoon a lot! Dun worry, i'm not hating everyone in my platoon, or i wouldn't mention those few friends from platoon 4 as nice people. Why i hate platoon 4? Its a long story to begin with. In fact they have so much to discuss about my personality and hygiene problems, so eventually i blur blur become their sabo targets when the need arises. Ever since Platoon Sergeant Sahlan spoke to mi about my BO (body odor) problems, i have been trying hard to change my way of living like washing laundry everyday when time allows and bath at least twice a day to minimise my BO. if possible, i will apply deodorant to cover the smell. In the end, they still keep mi at bay. As a result, i have to 自动跑到后面去fall-in, since 每个人都不喜欢站在我旁边。It's like, whichever row i stand, anyone who see mi standing in that row will move to the front row. Even that ABC Benedict said i'm so "influential" in this platoon. Well,i'm fully aware of my problems. But so what? As if i'm gonna care what they said about me. i'm still Elvin,ok? (only in camp everyone there address mi as Ernest). 我也管不了这么多。。。

后来，通过platoon 4 一位好友George， 我才对platoon 4 对我的误解和批评有更深的了解。为舌么跟George 这样熟？应为有一次Sitest 我整只腿发肿，脚趾发很大的水泡(blister),刚好George 那时也是脚受伤，the following week we missed the 16km route march together and on status the whole week, 所以我们就应为这样变得很熟落。George 告诉我很多东西。他说，我的人是很好，不过我的态度很奇怪。有时候，当有人跟我讲话，我没有回应他们，所以他们以为我很"zhuai".... the truth is, i can‘t hear anything at all sometimes, so i never catch what they said. George also said that i'm too quiet liao,thats why 我被冤枉也没有protest or justify myself, and i always kena scolded by commanders until 很严重，我的buddy Yanjie 也渐渐的没有跟我说话，简直都不像buddy咯，就连其它的bunkmate 都比我跟了解他。。。

总之，我就是没有办法跟platoon 4 的人相处。他们就是对我很多偏见，处处都要disturb 我。I'm getting irritated with this platoon 4. I have spoke to PS Sahlan before, he advised me to bear with this platoon for a few more weeks before we POP,since we were half way thru already. well,忍就忍咯。。。Some people in this stupid platoon are really bastard. ok let mi u tell who are they: Desmond Ho, Jon Wong Si Tze, Julian, Ong Zhi yu, Edward,Shan, Jonathan Lee & Chua, Tan Yu Tai, Goh Weiyang, Ong sin Han,Kenny,Nijo-Runcee Neo,Robin,Ng De Rong aka Garung (Guni), Jay Wong, and Lee Wenxiang! 你们最好跟我记住！！！

Seriously, these are the people whom i really hated. they have insulted,humilated and teased mi in a sarcastic manner. Imagine u having to tolerate all these shit throughout the whole BMT. this is why i'm so ashamed to be in Platoon 4. Yes, i'm at fault also,but that doesnt mean what they do is right! they have NO right to insult mi in anyway,to think they all kept quoting PS sahlan's words during field camp "pls dun insult one another!" in a sarcastic manner. all these words are meant for them! i really 受够了！

Enough comment about this platoon 4. From now onwards, i will no longer be known as Ernest,but Elvin Lim Chye Hin. I believe my life will be much better in my new unit,so i'm so happy now that i dun't have to see Zulu Platoon 4 anymore!!! =D
