Was forgotten for 13 years after I ORD, and I packed my FBO eagerly and booked in excitedly for my first I-See-Tea 5-9 Feb 2018!
- Kindergarten
- Primary School (also attended tuition together)
- Army vocation
- Uni course
- And now, I-See-Tea unit!!!?
At the In-Pro centre where everyone gathered, immediately one can tell who is lao jiao (old bird) and who is new bird. The latter arrived early, decked in neat uniform and polished boots, and followed instructions and brought the whole FBO along, together with a bag of personal items (in preparation for stay-in). The former did everything opposite, lol. Anyway, I wasn't the only one serving my first I-See-Tea, but still, many returned me :O faces when I told them I ORD 13 years ago.
So the week's programme was live firing at the state-of-the-art MMRC aka indoor firing range (with air-con). My first time handling the SAR21 and was impressed at its ease of use and accuracy rate! The whole Co. received $200 each as reward for marksmanship. We also did IPPT and man, was I pleased to clear my IPPT window with Silver so early in the year! :D
Was a great time mingling with old friends and going for canteen breaks and talking cock... good thing was that I could book out on 4 days and spend some time with my family too.
For remembrance sake, this the only capture I took of my 1st I-See-Tea :

Thank goodness for Grab Hitch, I only paid $15 for an early morning comfortable ride. Coincidentally, my I-See-Tea camp is the same as my previous camp during service. As I passed the security check and walked into the camp, memories from 13 years ago flowed back. The foyer where we falled in, the changing room where we slept in, the office where I worked at.
So anyway I was happy to see a few familiar faces, including my batch mates Jarrod and Gary! Must really confess that I have affinity with Jarrod; do you believe that apart from being neighbours in the same estate, we were in the same:
