My First Day of Enlistment
Today is the day I am being enlisted for National Service.
I woke up early and reach Choa Chu Kang at round 0730 with my mom and bro, we had a nice little Mc breakfast. Once we're done, we proceed to the bus bay for the free feeder bus that will bring us to the Camp...
The bus came quickly and once we're inside Home Team Academy, we, the poor enlistees are seperated from out loved ones.... we are immediatly urshered to a room where we were to strip to our underwear to check for any tatoos... (a quick process) after that, we fill up a short form and we walk to the auditorium where we have our IC taken away, issued a school bag, a handbook, turn in our certs and submit the form.... than they make us practice the Oath of Allegiance....
In the mean time, our parents were given a propagandish tour of the camp... shown our bunks, the mess, the food, type of trainings, etc etc... everything anyone would like to know, but they beautify it of course...
at 1030, we were lead to the Harmony Hall, where all the guest were seated at the back. We stood in the front to recite the Oath follow by a lunch reception with our love ones.... around 1145, all the guest left..... than......
the camp revealed their true colors.........
1145 briefing in the auditorium and we waited and talk rubbished to the officers..... (our bunks, appearently, wasn't ready due to logistic issues....)
1530, finally, we were lead to out bunk...... a temp one.... cause the actual one is being occupied by the previous intake, they are POPing coming Thurs... so we have to be put in temp bunk... :( once we know where we are sleeping, we were brought over to the prep squad to see what size we're taking for the clothings... a bit choatic.... at 1830 we walk to the mess for our dinner...
we had our hair cut at 1900 (great, now everyone look alike.. whos who???) we collected the bedsheets after that and were taught how to put it nicely... there after, we turn in for the night at 2230.....
what a boring first day...
