First Bk Out in NS

Finally after 14 straight days in camp at Tekong for NS, friday 24/06 was my first book out day! Actually for these first 14 days, the training programme was not really that tough, and was quite relax, but maybe it was just my poor physique that made it tough for me. Im not fit, and was sick during the 2nd week, down with serious cold and cough. It made me weak and felt hard to breathe but i tried my best to endure and fight on to complete each one of the lesson, though it was a fultile and weak performance.

When i booked out on friday, i was so dead tired, i took the wrong bus 89 or something and went to Hougang Central Bus Interchange instead of stopping at a bus stop near my house. It was so tiring to carry that heavy field pack of mine and walking such long distance back home. The moment i reached home, i started packing out my stuffs for laundry, have dinner, bath and went to sleep.

Then on Saturday, i woke up in the morning feeling so weak and sick, that i was not intending to even get out of my bed! But still, i managed to pull myself out of bed and get to my family doctor down at Serangoon North. Dr Ling Chuen told me that my airway was too tight, and put me on a gaseous medicine treatment, where i had to sniff from some thing for like 30-45 mins. Truly it did help, by partially clearing my block nose, and my chest did not feel so tight anymore. Later he told me that my airway is not totally clean yet or something, and said i was always suffering from bronchitis, and now was the worse he ever seen, asthma on me. Oh well, i was abit shocked also. Then i told him about the leg pain i have, the symtoms and such, which was also affecting my performance during training as well. After some diagnosis, he concluded that i might have suffered from stress frazfture on my left leg.

Argh... i felt like im cursed or something, sigh... Then i went home, ate something, took the medication, and went out at night to meet up with joey and lap for a night movie. I felt much much better after the medication. I went to the comic shop first to buy the comics i missed out while in camp, before meeting them. Initially we wanted to watch "Intial D" (damn joey watched pirated "Batman Begins" and "Mr & Mrs Smith") already. But dunno due to joey or lap (maybe both), we ended up watching "A Lot Like Love", oh my gosh....3 men together watching this kinda show. While watching half-way, i felt like the plot was so similar, and if anyone can remember, there was this show on channel 5 a while ago entitled "Boys & Girls". And yeah, i dunno if it was because i watched "Boys & Girls" already, that's why i found "A Lot Like Love" is like so boring, there was countless time that i was so sleepy and almost fell asleep. I went back home, due to medication effect, i couldnt take it, and fell asleep, without finishing my comics yet.

Today, i woke up feeling much better, rest and medicine did help alot i guess. After slacking around, i went to the army market at beach road with my brother to purchase stuffs that i will need for NS when i book in later on tuesday morning. Actually the doctor wanted to excuse me for exercise (im not sure how long) but after hearing that i was having my physical training phase, he felt he cant give me that (i will be wasting the physical training phase and suffering at BMT), so he gave me MC for Sunday and Monday, so its 7.30am reporting at the ferry terminal on tuesday then, so early...

Oh well, now back home, watched some tv programme, slacking around, resting as much as i can, since i know booking in, confirm will be very 'siong' one. So so tired and sleepy... i just want to take my medicine and sleep now... I will pack my field pack tml then... zzzZZzZz
