Brother's POP

Starting my Saturday with the brother's POP.

After being in the army for 2 mths, i hope he has grown to be slightly mature.

But somehow I dont seem that way! LOL! But for any reason, he is still my baby brother.

The one who always asked me to head out for jogs, the one who always fight with me since young.

Oh yea, my bro is in army now. How time flies.

The Saturday weather was slightly humid, mommy drove down to Marina Bay floating platform to attend bro's graduation from Tekong. LOL! But I love being in town, seeing such nice scenery, somehow makes my day a better one (:

The banner that shows BMY Graduation Parade. 

A little booklet that comes with the Parade Sequence. Quite a good brochures i would say.

Pretty front cover showing how the boys graduate from their BMT.  

Another view showing the helix bridge which links to MBS. Dark clouds covering almost half of that area. LOL!

 

Another view showing the other end of Esplanade. Pretty place and feeling calm! (:

And the boys started marching in in groups/batches. There were at least 2000 people marching towards that soccer court given that there were 100 people in a company! LOL!. So all of us were in fact trying to search for my little brother from far! LOL! and this is the best my camera could zoom! 

Slowly forming in their position.  

And soon after all were done! (: It was such a pleasant sight. In fact, I actually love looking at contingents marching ard! But this sight could only be seen during National Days.! Ever since i've joined the uniform group back in Secondary school, I always find marching contingents so suave and so cool! (: Btw i've always been in Girls' Brigade and till now I've not regretted joining them, but oh well, i do regret not performing well during those days.   

Siren came which means the boys had to remove all the their barang barangs to get ready and be at east.   

And here they welcome the arrival of Chief of Army Mr Ravinder Singh.  

And after which they had awards presentation for the best recruits, those guys in berate are their instructors. Quite cool huh? (: 

After their award presentation, they were getting ready to march off, and prepare for their second march in! (:  

Slowly they march pass the reviewing officer, Ms Ellen Lee (The chairman for Defence and Foreign affairs).  

And accompanied by their military band which consists of full time recruits! (: I dont deny, they really play very well! (: Mayb because i've always been a fan of musicals and bands but never once i've tot of joining band! hahaha!  

After which, the boys enter for their second march in! They have already return their riffles and came out with a lighter loot! (: But still with that tortoise shell bag!  

Back in their new formation, but the brother is still in the same place! (: 

Them doing their BMT Roar! Weird but okay, its their cheer!  

And off they take their army pledge and also singing of National Anthem. Which followed by tossing of their cap and dismiss! I didnt manage to capture the image of them tossing their cap! but it all happened too fast! =D 

And them giving each other huggies for the effort they have put thru this 2 mths. 

It has somehow become a place where they met good buddies and in the end, being lead to different units which they soon learn new skills.  

This is my brother! Check out his super shag face! But hey, i think he looks good here! Hhahaa! They actually had another individual shot which was taken and it looks really awesome! 

Sometimes i just feel so proud for my brother! 

 

 

And a shot taken with my mom!
 

And with mom and me, to end the day!. 

The boys ended their BMT with a 24km march, which baby brother mentioned they started since 7pm the day before! It was all hard work but hopefully this will make them grow! (:24km road march isnt easy at all! In the past, during my GB days, i walked a 10km walk from Changi to Pasir Ris and I almost died! LOL! So kudoos to them! (: 

You know your effort paid off!
