I miss my korkor=(
He left mommy,daddy and my lives (for a week) on the 5th of February.
While having his last civilian meal, we took a few commemorative photos.
Black and White (:
Bus-ed and Bus-ed and Ferry-ed to Tekong, where Bryan left us to rehearse for the ceremony later on. The three of us then toured the facilities @ BMTC for about 2 hours.
We saw their canteens, Standard Obstacle Course, school (littered with pull-up bars) and lecture halls.
We saw their bunks with two-level beds, complete with a table right in the centre for the future 16 recruits staying there and pretty decent ceiling fans.
Next, we sat at the block next to Bryan and the other 80 odd enlistees during the official ceremony.
They pledges to be loyal to Singapore (blah blah) and protect it with THEIR LIVES. I feel safe already(:
After the entire ceremony, the enlistees took their leave and stood in two rows, flanking both sides of the corridor that we'd have to pass. And as their respective parents/friends walked by, they were allowed to leave with them and enjoy a final lunch together.
I met Nee Meng (said goodbye!) and Mr Yow that day too. Lunch was pretty good! Chicken, mash, broccolis, bread and rice. Just to assure parents that food doesn't really suck at camp. (I know the enlistees beg to differ)...
As we ate and took photos again, the PA system suddenly roared to life. "ALL ENLISTEES REPORT TO PARADE SQUARE NOW. (repeat. reapeat. and again.)
Aww, I had the final glimpse of a bald Bryan marching into the distance =(
Pics will be up soon(:
