Much of the rest of my BMT life pass off un-noticed, un-remembered, possibly because we recurits have grown up to be a better solider. We know more things and therefore, make less mistake, and that means, less screwing from our sergeants.

And sooner than we know, we have passed out as recuits. We are now known as dumb privates. Anyway, we organised a bbq-chalet at Downtown East where the whole of my platoon is invited. And instinctively 3 groups were formed. The super majong kings, those with girlfriends, and the nice guys.

The super majong kings, as the name says, comes to the chalet, goes straight to the air-con room, and plays majong. Non-stop. Not even to eat or drink, not even to pee. Cash is at stake here. Only to realise that their cars have been summoned by the car park wardens.

The next group of them is those with girlfriends. Some of the privates came down to the chalet with their girlfriends in tow. They would cluster together, gather at a bench and talk in a well behaved manner while their girlfriends will happily chat amoung themselves.

The final group of privates is the good guys, they are the ones who organise the whole thing, buy all the foods, cook them, and serve them out onto trays. But these good guys and not under privileged here as you may think. They keep the best cooked foods for themselves to enjoy, they enjoyed toasted garlic hot dog buns with premium sausages while the rest had to be contended with burnt chicken wings and frozen chicken frank's sausages. They had warm satay sauces to dip their satays into while the rest had only cold ones. Ha!

Once the bbq had ended and the mess cleared, alcohol flowed in, the majong ones drank the most. The ones with girfriends drank moderately. While the good guys rested their tummies and indulged in soft drinks.

My friend i however, took our bike for a spin down changi village and to the changi point park connector. My bike, been the rented one of course.

The second day of our chalet was much like any other chalet and therefore, need not much commenting.

HA!
