Recently, I am hooked on a Taiwan (ROC) serial drama by the title of "新兵日记 (Rookie Diary)" and it reminds me of many good old memories when I was a soldier back in BMTC as recruit as well as officer.
The serial showcased the ROC army recruit training center, known as 成功领 (Success Peak) which I believed its one of the prominent camps in the country. Interestingly, many artistes participated in this show and what keeps me going on in watching the show is the hilarious scenarios trainee soldiers always posed for their sergeants and officers.
Beside the exaggerating scenarios, the show also introduced the military songs sung by the ROC soldiers which were very inspiring and motivational. When compared to our local army, I guessed our army songs are not as patriotic as them.
The show won many awards in 2010 and became one of the hot favorite serial drama in Taiwan ROC. With many famous artistes such as 杨培安，飞轮海，萧煌奇 aiding to the show by singing the main and ending theme and the rest of the casts by singing many more songs displayed in the show, the serial is definitely being enhanced by their singings and songs.
After watching the show, I was flooded with the good old memories of recruit training back in BMTC such as eating cup noodles secretly by the toilet balcony, shitting together in the forest, going through our 7 days field camps together, training hard to pass our fitness test so and so fore.. Although its a short 9 weeks, its the introductory phase of my 2 years National Service life. My BMT mates were also the first group of army friends I know when I was enlisted as a soldier. Although we did not contact as much as before, I wished them all the best in their career, family and wealth.
I guessed every Singaporean son who went through National Service will also have the same thought as I am when and after watching this show.
