Basic Training Diary - Day 23
Day 23, Oct 8
Second last day today. Camp is winding down and all we are doing these last two days is attending lectures on volunteering and going to graduation ceremony rehearsals. The lectures add up to the amount required for us to become registered volunteers. So in other words we can record the volunteering activities that we get involved in.
I had heard that we are getting some kind of special dinner tonight. It turned out to be a birthday party for those whose birthday is in either September or October. We did get slightly better food tonight but it was all cold! The birthday boys also got a card and some stainless steel chopsticks and other cutlery as a present. They also set up some kind karaoke system up in the dinning hall and had some posters on the walls. So we had karaoke for about an hour after dinner. Rather strange seeing karaoke being done in the army.
Tomorrow’s the final day, I feel sorry for those who have to stand guard tonight! Speaking of which, the other night there was this person who actually went around shining the flashlight in everyone’s faces to check if we were in bed. It’s like he wanted everyone to wake up and not sleep well like him!
