I went to Pulau Tekong today. My brother was recruited to the BMT school 1 today. My family can accompanied him to Pulau Tekong. It was a very fun journey. Firstly, we took a bus from Pasir Ris to the ferry terminal where we took the Penguin ship to Tekong. The journey on the ship is fun as I simply love the swaying of the ship. =P Then when we reached Tekong, we were separated from my brother. The enlistees made their way to surrender their IC and we the families took the bus to tour around the school. We went into the room and saw the facilities.

At first I thought the place will be horrible with the cupboard rusty and the mattress to be super thin but it isn't. The place is well-kept, the mattress is even better than mine. They also have a recreation room with a TV. Hehe.

Then we went to other places to find out the living conditions there. We also learnt that Tekong is 1 degree hotter. Oh god. Haha. Then we took a break and went to their auditorium. A video was played and a speech was made before the recruits made their oath. They are called recruits instead of soldiers because they are not fit enough to be called soldiers yet. The LTC is so funny. He asked a question: "Recruits, who have brought your handphone and is with you now, raise your hand?". The whole group raised their hands. Haha. Then a little joke were told that they are able to use their handphone and there is once when a parent called to say that her son did not call home. She suspect that the in charge forbid her son to use the handphone.

So, the LTC went to investigate. He called back the parent and told her that her son did call, in fact everyday but he called his 2nd home. He called his girlfriend instead of his parents. We laughed. Then we get to eat lunch with my brother. Had a chat with him and he sent us off to the ferry terminal before he have to depart with us. Had a not very happy feeling as we will be missing our brother for 2 weeks. I wonder if he can cope well. Wish him all the best! =)
