POP day was practically insane...
Woke up at 2.30am to prepare...
Rendezvous point at BMTC parade square at 4am...
Waiting to rush, Rushing to wait...
Set off for 24km route march at approximately 5am...
The 24km route march was surprisingly easy for me... I don't know why... We came to the "finishing point" without even knowing we've completed it... The entire company just came to a halt... I hated the part whereby we had to continue the march after a 15 minutes rest at every 4km interval... The first step on the ground was practically hell!!! I could feel the blisters, bubbles and abrasions torturing me... However, the pain slowly subsided into numbness after 500m of marching...
I kept on with the pain for graduation parade... Marching and static drills... OUCH! Imagine yourself lifting your leg 90 degrees upwards and later, striking it down onto the ground... Your open wounds start to rub against the fabric of the pants and at the same time, you cringe because it hurts so much when your leg hits the ground...
The weather had mercy on us and I'm thankful for that... Temperature was rather good, there weren't much sunlight... :]
Felt a rush of adrenaline when we threw the jockey cap... That's what we've been working towards all this time... It was definitely a moment to be proud of...
Some of the pictures taken while all of us were rushing for the ferry... There weren't even time for touching moments...
ORION COY!
