It's been a long time since I open up this... Since I have the time now, shall update it again..
Two weeks ago was my Footdrill Competition. It had been a tiring past 2 months for me. Have to go thru night drill and stayed up polishing and ironing. Inspect all the recruits uniform to make sure everything is in tip top condition. The pressure is there for me to handle. Being the defending champions for 3 consecutive intakes, it was really difficult for me... When my encik told me to take up the Platoon Sergeant role, I told myself I have to give my best. Luckily there's my colleagues esp Shahrul who helped me out alot. N oso my beloved Baby giving endless support throughout the whole competition... and of coz... the squad members who are very cooperative and learnt things very fast..I was really shocked and at the same time very happy.
The night before the competition was a tense moment. Coming back to camp as early as 5, I prepared myself with lots of honey. I prayed hard that all the 36 recruits will turn up as for the past few intakes, the recruits are not willing to book in earlier. But they actually booked in early!!
We had to stayed up till 2 plus to prepare everything. Actually I wanted to slp after 12 but the recruits' boots and uniform are not done properly yet haf to stay up n helped them. 2 plus I couldn't take it anymore. Shahrul helped me stay up till 4 plus to help them.
Actual day was even worse. Butterflies in my stomach. Took a cold bath. Honey. Walked like a zombie to the waiting area with the starched uniform. I was so afriad that I will miss some commands and that the atmosphere will be very tense. But when it started, it turned out as if it was just a training session. I was calm. The guys were calm. Everything ended smoothly and beautifully. Results time!!! We did it again!!!!!! We took all 3 prizes!! Best platoon sergeant, Best platoon commander and of coz BEST FOOTDRILL SQUAD for the 4TH INTAKE STRAIGHT!!! I finally can put my heart down and wait for my ORD peacefully!! First time a chinese guy win Best PS!! WOOTS!!!
