In Civilisation
Survive thr the 7 days and 6 nights field camp...
Though it rains at least for 4 of the nights,
making the ground sheet wet,
the solid soil muddy,
the diff insects crawing ard
and centipide being one of the most frequent
visitor during the day,
it didn realli dampen my mood to sleep..
thus i mam being labelled as one
able to sleep wherever i go..
and is instantly kinda..
Day 1 of field camp bascally started off wif the road march
to the 1st camp site
and the first event has alrd taken half of
our breadth away...
was taught to set up our basha(tent)
wif a bit of tekang and a lecture
and a training ends the day...
sky was alr pitch dark at 7pm...
Day 2 was kicked off wif mi
staring at the starry night which cant b seen in Singapore
and mi wondering off
there's many more days to go b4 end of field camp..
and hw to survive wif the combat rations
provided and moreover
mi haivng one of the worst menu...
i longed for Mac breakfast..Day 3 was the day tat many dreaded
tat is i finally decided to do my 'business'
in the man made hole...
(cant believe that some of my platoon mates can
lasted for 7 days)Mayb once u do it b4
u get the feeling to do oit again..
did my 'business' once a day
for the remainig 4 days...
day 4 stars appear
so beatifully to mi...
almost the whole of the sky was covered by the stars..
and im not kidding here...
Day 5 was the day for the 3rd camp stie
and is the day whereby
i missed my wild boar sighting
coz the onli time u able to c 1 is at the
2nd campsite
once u missed it..
forget abt to c 1 again..
Grave digging started on the 6th day..
and thankfully we din have to spend the night there
wif the centipide
as we r allowed back to sleep in the campsite...
and i told myself
I wanted to ave a good meal when i bk outEnded the 7th day wif the legendary leopard crawl
whereby we doeged the MG..
but it seems tatthye have used up all their ammo..
fr when it comes to our platoon turn, there's doesnt
seems to b ani bullets flying above us...
7th night was spend back in the bulk
bulk sweet bulk compare to outfield..
since was a Sunday..
tekong cookhse is not open..
whole COmpany opted for KFC
but ate Candian Pizza due to the
big order...
imagine whole company there's 200 pple
and each had a 2 piece meal...
they cant conjure up so many at such
a short time.. zzz
aniway was glad tat there's sth better dan the combat ration
sth to share...
once u r in a more worse situation
u will tink tat the previous is better
this applies when we r in field camp...
we realise tat our bulk beds beats the
wate leakage tent we had..
the same old menu of the cookhse in tekong
beats the combat ration...
this is speaking from
the live experience of a soldier...
time to enjoy my public holidays.. yeah..
and 5 more wks to POP..

Live Range
Had my first expierence wif live bullets tiz week
in the army life....
the experience ican b summarised in 2 words
cold and tired...
dun realli undestand hw some of dem can get xcited abt shooting
live rds..
mi still prefer the ones i had in the simulation rm
wif computerised rifles and targets...
went to the live range early in the morning..
woke up at 4 in the morning to do preparations
the first person fired the first shot at 8am...
having ard 200 pple in then company..
it takes a while before my turn....
had the range test on Tues...
rained for a while and was wet throughout....
den stone till the sun set
for our night shot...
(did i mention tat the shot test is
carried in day and night)reached back to the bulk at ard 1 plus in the following morning..
hehe... first time Lights off at 2am since my
days in army..
and woke up at 5am to continue the shot
in the live range...
and basically tat concludes the 2 days le...
cant imagine tat having shoot some
target nid so many days... zzzz
into the 6th wks of army life
section mates r getting used to each other
complaining abt sgt...
section mates or can say company mates
are getting tired of the tekan stuff le....
section mates are nw reciting those
commonly used phases by Sgt...
"still taking your time rite...
nvm... drop 20..."
"are u trying to test the water"wad makes the part more sensation
is tat one of my section mates wil
play the role of recruit, the other
as the SGT...
me as always join in the fun and
also nag abt at those unbelievable
tasks and tekan sessions offered by our Sgt..
one task is tat
SIr asked our platoon to write 3 bad points on
our sgt and him.... zz..
such a task is a feat..
coz it makes us wonder to write the truth anot..
aniway i crap it throu..
by saying the jokes cracked by them are cold
and the tekan sessions are unbelieable and wadever...
glad tat we r nt required to put dw our names
on the paper we wrote...
training has become to sth
tat i cant almost breathe normally..
the training has nw stretch to running
rd the track 3 rds wif our sbo and doing pull up wif it..

dun even tink of watching it on wkends..
coz let mi warn u..
its onli an hr & 10mins show..

makes it worthwhile...
