hello goodbye.

Today marks the start of a new routine.

Goodbye to waking up at 6.15am, hello to waking up at 5.15am.

Goodbye cheap and convenient transport(only taking 14, at $2 a day, 20min bus ride), hello to expensive and inconvenient transport to camp(bus to MRT to shuttle bus at god knows how much a day, approx over 1 hour travelling time).

Goodbye to ARC, hello to SGC(not the student graduation certificate but Sungei Gedong Camp).

Goodbye to OETI, hello to 42FMP.

After this cheesy hello goodbye part, I'm going to say Sungei Gedong is not such a fucked up place as it is made out to be. Had it been nearer to civilisation. This place is really like Pulau Tekong on Singapore, only more inconvenient. But on the upside, the regimentation there is less, thus we have a more relaxed environment(so long as there are no vehicles waiting to be repaired and no Armour Mechanics chattering about whatever the fuck they are chattering about). The place looks a depressing shade of gravel, with rather poor facilities. But the canteen has fucking arcade machines, so that a big plus. There's no more familiar voice of Staff Martin, Sergeant Kwa, or Sergeant Marcus, no more "eh Ah Kwa" from Master Tay, but the new instructors look pretty fine all the same. All in all, could be better, but could be worse.
