BMTC (Section mates)

POP loh~!!
thats what i shouted when i threw my jockey cap as high up into the sky as i could for the very first time... (well for the rehearsals we weren't allowed to... so no surprise thr)
hahaz 9 weeks of BMTC gone... juz lik how i had suddenly started... now it had ended...
pretty mixed feelings if u asked me..
in a sense i would say tt coy really matters alot...
BRONCO... the wild steed (horse) isnt the xiong-est of all coys... but we still maintained a certain lvl of discipline... well some say we r one of the slackest..
nvm its all in the past now... no more tekong... (or at least for quite some time)
i arent gonna go into details abt my entire 9 weeks... tts FAR too long... even by my standards...
so im juz gonna mix and match n be totally random on this...
c if u can catch on with what im saying..

here goes:
first, my section mates... 15 individuals from different backgrounds coming together to form Bronco, Platoon 2, Section 2 01/12
in accordance to bed number (n my summary of them throughout the 9 weeks):
1) Samuel the whiny
2) Yao Nian the missing
3) Joel the mugger + my buddy
4) ME
5) Kwang Beng the keng beng (aka majiji apok - something in korean/jap i forgot)
6) Shi Yuan the don't want OCS
7) Chnia Ghee the soft
8) Jie Xuan the always-first-to-bathe (before some rule was implemented)
9) Zhi Sheng the 'Bob' (his nickname for 9 weeks)
10) Adrain the Malaysian accent (though he's a Singaporean)
11) Jabez the smelly
12) Teng Yang the Rafflesian
13) Yong Fong the blur
14) Zi Xuan the singer
15) Arul the Vijaya (no racism involved - special since he's one of the 3 Indians in our entire platoon)
16) Clifton the artist
k time for more elaboration...
for 9 weeks (technically 10 weeks... they scammed us one week)... these 15 other 15 ppl had been with me thru everything... all the ups and downs of my BMTC life (which wasnt alot actually)... but it had been a fun n joyous time for me when i was with them... you could really tell their characters, attitudes and even relationships with each other...
well since this is a public blog... i arent gonna disclose the insider stuff... but everyone can juz see that bob and adrian are lik the gay buddies of our section... they do almost everything tgt...
while samuel keep being unable to find his...
samuel is a nice guy who has the makings of a leader... but whenever he comes back to bunk, he keeps whining abt the things that he might have to do... well... not really causing any harm simply joking around.. one thing for sure is that he worries excessively.. oh n he's EXTREMELY scared of the supernatural (even much much more than me LOL)
yao nian is a very serious guy when it comes to stuff... hailling frm hci, he uses flowery vocab and proper sentences when he speaks, making it kinda awkward when i try to reply using my usual singlish... however most of the time... we juz keep wondering where he had gone...
my buddy is a pretty quiet guy... well he is earnest in trying to do the things that r commanded.. however since he is re-taking his As, he is always reading or studying notes when we r around in bunk...
kwang beng has always been the chao keng of our section... masters in chao keng... hence the name keng beng... but other than tt flaw he is actually a pretty nice guy who tries to do as little work as possible (hahaz)
shi yuan is pretty hard to describe... my first impression was that he is damn strong... easily able to pull 15 pullups without breaking much of a sweat... i wouldnt say he's a charismatic person... but i would definetely trust him to cover my back... oh n he spends the longest time chatting on the phone every night (tsktsk)
chnia ghee is lik a panda. why? he's soft spoken, even when he tries to shout (he fails)... but he's pretty gentle and a nice guy who spends his time hibernating whenever we get back to bunk (LOL)... however, he is one that would do his work... (this is a joke among our section: Rifleman Ang forever!)
jie xuan is one of those full rank points from hci, but he isnt exactly the kind tt is proud of whatsoever... he's a nice guy who strives to go into the military band (which i hve absolutely no idea why... well everyone has their own goals... tts good isnt it?)
now to zhi sheng aka bob (his real english name is eric but we juz ended up calling him bob anws), he's the horniest out of our grp and pretty much the joker and always does the weirdest stuff (almost always tgt with adrian)... he might seem square but dont look down on this ippt gold with 9.10
adrian is yet another full rank point... but he is one with a pretty happy-go-lucky attitude... definetely another guy tgt with bob... the gay buddies nvr fail to make us laugh with their eccentric songs or words... oh n he plays dota too with yao nian
then thr's jabez... the one tt stinks alot due to his strong BO, he's a frisbee player and he's always kj-ing jiexuan... no idea what kind of conflict happened between them... but its always funny and interesting to see the exchange...
teng yang coming frm the prestigious RJ... well at first we thought tt he wouldnt fit... we were right... he wasnt able to completely blend in with the army life... he's mostly the slowest out of our lot... and abit of tt atas... and well definetely no sportsmanship...
yong fong is the blurrest out of our section... he lost his gas regulator during field camp! luckily he found it in his shellscrape, or it would have been confinement for the entire platoon... i wouldnt exactly say tt he's stupid or what... more like he's very blur and don't take in everything as fully as they come...
zi xuan is the very smily and straightforward kind of person... he doesnt act or talk behind other ppl's back... he would juz tell them straight in the face... in a way tts a gd fren to hve to tell u ur mistakes or flaws... he's also the singer in our section and when he loses his voice... he sounds exactly lik sir shaunald
arul... what can i say... he's a pretty capable ldr... able to hold his cool and all... somehow he and jabez likes to make fun of each other...
clifton is the friendliest guy u would ever find around... he's nice, tall and likes to draw... though initially the drawings all look lik something tt came out of horror movies... he had been stealthily improving throughout the 9 weeks thr... jy clifton u could do it!

hahaz i would miss this bunch of crazy yet fun bunch of ppl now tt POP is over... sighs... hope i would get to see them again soon and often... friendships lik these dun come often...
but it's nice to know tt someone would hve your back when u need them...
these are my buddies, my comrades, and my section mates... who else could u depend on?
