one more week and i'll be through. one more week to POP!
finally, the day is coming. going to leave that out of nowhere place. actually tekong is not bad. but it is just too freaking far from my house. i can't possibly travel by cab everyday and the hassle of taking the mrt puts me off. ok, i shall pray that i won't be posted back there. Give me a 9 to 5!
another short week, for me only. booked in only on tue due to my bloody feet. can still hardly walk then. so, i went to report sick on wed and the medical centre was freaking crowded. crowded till the extend that i have to sit on the floor. then the long wait to see the doc began. wait wait wait. told to go for lunch first, then come back wait wait wait. see the doc. gave me excuse footwear 7 days, then wait again. status came soon after. then wait wait wait until near to 5pm then i got my medicine. spent almost the whole day at the centre. then it was the recruit night. what a boring event. no atmosphere. no fun. just eating something that is not worth the $8 i paid. then watch some performance. tat's it. end of it.
excuse boots means walking around 'bua long long'. no need to wear even shoes. means never so SIT test (haha, i am so glad tat i didn't go. ok. i admit i chao keng one. if there is no SIT test, i still can endure the little pain on my feet, but it is becase of this bloody stupid thing, then it became 'very painful'.) only 8 out of 24 ppl from my platoon went. haha. no one wants to be commander. we can't make it anyway. so it means doing sai gang. then slack slack slack until fri. got an off pass and got out of tat place on fri evening. why? because of the FASS open day. didn't intend to go actually, but then heard from gabriel tat he getting off pass because of tat, plus sat is a super late book out, why not ?
so i went down on sat. found out more abt the geog course. more or less i am decided in majoring in that. found out abt the modular credit thing. have to take modules from other dept and faculty. i am very blur abt tat. plus the exchange program. i want to go on one of such program. i want to experience how it is like studying overseas. tat would mean coughing out money myself. sianz. no money how??
met up with friends during this weekend too. the cheena gang from s07. apparently peiling n kaining got teaching scholarship. kim may be going for tat too. imagine all the smart ppl i am around with during jc and yet i am still so dumb. ok forget tat. it was great meeting up with them, talking abt what they are doing and so on. went to watch the amityville horror with yingxuan. the movie sucks! didn't understand the plot at all. feel like i have wasted 9.50 on tat. watched star wars 3 with yz on sunday also. perhaps i am not a great star war fan. i don't get some parts of the story. argh.. i am too lazy to write it out here. forget it. i should go rewatch 1 and 2 and perhaps i shall get the whole thing clear. just like the matrix.

2 more weeks to go.....
haven blogged for a long time. it is mon night and i am not in camp. yes, on att c for 2 days. why? all because of the bloody blister that i kena during the 16km route march. the blister kena infected and the wound is now bloody red. have been hoping around the house for 2 whole damm day. don't think it gonna recover so soon.
16 km route march was sort of a killer. i haven walked until the stage i am going to peng before. it is ultimate shag! the march started at about 4pm in the evening. the first 8km march was in the day so the fun made me shagged. the night march was much more enjoyable, but the blister was making is so painful to walk. i kena the blister at the 6-8 km. then the blister burst during the 10-12 km part. it was fucking painful!!!! i can feel myself trembling from the pain after the march. i feel like a cripple at the end of the day. had to ask JC to help me carry my bag up, ask him to help me put bedsheet. THanks a lot to him! whithout him, i think i have alreadly been dead! whatever, i survived 16km!!!!!
other events in the 2 week haitus. finished the 2nd field camp which is the group section training (GST). basically the same as the first camp, fire movement but this time round we got to walk a circuit and then execute the fire movement. my grp was quite fucked up. still we got thru it. then towards the end, have to do arti drill back to the start point. and WTF, we had to start running from a spot quite far away, up a bloody slope!!! then came basic assault course, where we had to crawl in mud, attack figures. tat one was fun, but hell lot dirty. mud all over the body and webbing. then we got BIC the following, which is the battle innoculation course. there are GPMG live rounds firing above your head and you have to crawl through the thing. i initially thought the thing will be damm scary, but when i went thru the course, it was like duh! only a few pathetic rounds firing. not even simulating a real war zone. it was just that the leopard crawl all the way and back crawl when i come to the barb wire zone that is tiring. plus it rained damm heavily the night before, a 'swimming pool' greeted me at the end. downright dirty and even got sand inside the underwear. i dun think i wanna mention about the cleaning up part.
finally finally, bmt is coming to an end. for other ppl, bmt is just a short stint, but for me, it is so fucking loooong!!!! finally going to leave tat place. now looking back, tat place isn't as fucked up as what i used to think. perhaps i have become closer to my bunk mates, to my platoon mates that have made things much more bearable. still, i can't stand the long travelling time to reach there. praying praying hard to get posted to a good place!!!

field camp 1
yeah! finally survived through field camp 1. haha. only 3D2N. it's chicken feat compared to others who stay there for 7 days. at least it was a new experience. not tat i didn't stay outdoor before, but it's my first time staying somewhere without a proper toilet, plus eating crap food!
when we first reached there, we had to build our basha. the campsite was situated in a rubber plantation and the ground was slightly sloping and very uneven. finding a suitable sleeping spot is hard, and then the basha have to be aligned with the others, so me n my buddy had no choice but to place our basha on a ground where it is damm sloping. our building the basha and some tekan session, have to go dig shit hole. section 3 n 4 have to go dig the shit hole and wah lau, freaking hard ground makes it freaking hard to dig. we only have one of the shit hole digger thing, so for the rest of the hole, we were using the ET stick n blade to dig. what was frustrating was that some ppl were just standing down there eye power, while the rest were digging like hell, taking turns to help each other. i couldn't be bother to say anything. after all these, time for the first taste of field ration. it is actually not bad. maybe when i am hungry, i find anything also nice. when i take the first bite, i wanted to vomit, but the more i eat, the better it taste. still find menu 3 the best. got pasta n nonya curry rice. enjoyed tat packed totally! the dessert sucks though. gave them to other ppl.
what we did there is actually quite slack. just have to do some basic fire movement, shoot some blanks, then we are done. actually most of the time was spent toking cock with our sec com. on the last day, we were just sitting down there and toking cock with our pc, and then hear stories from him abt his jcc course in brunei. got take pictures too, but forgot to take during powder bath. and ya, powder bath is so fun! imagine one with only underwear on in the middle of the jungle, making urself look as white as possible, then have to 'ease spring squeeze trigger' and edward (my buddy) actually flashed at sgt koh!!! freaking funny! and lots of funny things happen also, like chinni farting so loudly when he was proning down. even sgt chris got nothing to say. and the best got to be chinni's snoring. he was snoring so freaking loud that i was awaken by his snore a few times at night. his snoring got melody somemore. like wild boar like tat. of course, his snoring attracted the sgt's attention to his tent at night, and of course, my tent, being beside him, also came into the commanders attention. somemore tired to take my rifle on the first nite, but i held on to it and pull it back from him. till now, i still dunno who tat is. the best got to be tat chinni's volt carrier group got stolen by sgt koh ( i think). he can actually strip his rifle and take out the things inside without him knowing. best liao!
the downside, got to be the sandflies bite i gotten all over my hand. sianz. super itchy, then cannot scratch. next week still got another camp, 2D1N. going to get more bites. sianz.....
