Some of my NS stories from my unit days. Context: after BMT I was assigned a combat medic vocation and posted out to the old School of Military Medicine, Ulu Pandan Camp. Was there for a couple of months before we moved to Nee Soon Camp. Currently the place has been converted to the new …
1. Was in Tekong BMTC School 2, Leopard Company back in the early 2000s.

The top floor(level 6) of my bunk building is usually empty unless there are overseas troops coming in to stay. One night, we feel damn boring, so the lot of us drivers, around 10+ of us decided to go level 6 to play hide and seek since no one is up there during that period …

I want to share with readers an incident that happened during my NS in Lim Chu Kang Cemetery, battalion exercise and my company was going thru the cemetery and it was a full moon night. We halted for a rest and some of my company mates was resting everywhere along the road in the cemetery, …
I have been living in this flat at 504B Montreal Drive since 2001, and currently things are going well. But I remember from the earlier stages, the many disturbance we got from the tenants who have been here much longer than us. We live on the third floor, and my bedroom is on one end …
