I lost my FREEDOM, my PRIDE, my PRIVACY and of course my HAIR 
It is my 2nd book out as to date… The feeling of booking out on Friday evening and booking in on Sunday is really like F*ck… Time has become my No 1.) enemy ever since i went down the botak road. Battling hard against it when i’m out of camp so as to get all necessary tasks done and enjoy every single bit of the time left… I’ve learnt to DOUBLE cherish my time with my family and love onces during my book out days..
“Because of limitations, taking things for granted becomes NIL …”
During the 2 weeks confinement in camp, the feeling of missing my family badly and getting home sick really sucks to the core… Its really a mental torture, i must say. I can’t sleep well at night during the first week. Many things just revolved around my mind…
I know mum will definitely get worried about me and she wont be able to sleep well too… Therefore i make it a point to call her every nighttelling her i’m fine and things are smooth even if it is not… I don’t wan t her to get worried anymore…
Things finally got better in the 2nd week when training gets intensified. I’m able to sleep better when my body gets worn out and automatically shut my mind…
“Without a good balance of mind, body and soul, almost nothing can be accomplished”
Anyway, this is my 3rd week of serving the botak road… To summarise it:
1.) Company welfare – “Good”
2.) Platoon welfare – “Not Bad”
3.) Platoon commanders – “Not too bad, but maybe their true colours are still not revealed cos untill now not much Tekan by them ?!?”
4.) Food (Breakfast, Lunch n Dinner) – “Still can eat but i really hope they can stop serving chicken drumsticks at least for 1 day -.-”’
5.) Platoon grp – “Ok, accept for 1 Arsehole fellow inside”
6.) Section grp- “Ok, Interesting guys to mixed with but they are all from engineering and IT background, thinking and opinions differ by quite a bit”
7.) Training - “I hope it gets more TOUGH as time goes by… so i can get more FIT and LEAN”
After losing the 4 important elements as mentioned above, i hope to gain something useful ahead of time… Like team-working skills, leadership, communication and inter-personal relationship … etc
It is going to be the BEST period of time to add self-worth and better prepare myself when i step out of the outside world and society in 2 yrs time…
Besides doing push-ups, crunches and training with the Pull-up bar, reading has become one of my habit in camp during free time…
Will be booking in at 20:30 today … Sign off
