Back from camp juz now.... Went back to my playground, Tekong on Mon for my unit's field camp. Before reaching the island, there were alot of other units joining us to the island, ADF and SISpec. Saw some of my ex-Recs at SISpec liked Fizo, jensen and ppl from other platoon.


Going to stay on the island for 5 days and the weather is killing us day by day, humid and hot!!! To add to our misery, we as commanders have to eat the same food as the Recruits, COMBAT RATIONS.... Haha!! It's been a long time since I last ate those green packs, instead i eat biscuits for most of the days plus Uncle Johnny. lolz










During the hot hours of the day, trust me.... You wouldn't feel like moving, so there I am, laying on my SBO catching some nap. Haha... Other than catching some rest, I also read a book "Why Men can't listen and Why Women can't read maps". Quite a interesting book which took me 3 days to complete, an accomplishment I must say 'cos it would take weeks before I finished a book. I believe life is a cycle or a graph, there are always ups and downs, guess its now in the middle, but it shall not change ME!!!!

Field camp ended yest noon, after they finished digging their "graveyards". Headed to BMTC to do their technical break (Wash up & bath), this is to prepare them for a 16km route march @3am. As for me, headed back to my former coy, Raven to look for my buddy, KX and the gang over there to do some catching up... Spend quite a long time, only joined back to my Bn at 11pm as my colleague needed some help, slept @12plus...

Woke up @0145hrs, feeling shagged!!! Not enough sleep man... But who cares... The march kick off @3am, but the speed was damn slow for me, felt liked walking instead of marching. The march was smooth and finished at 0700hrs, I didn't feel tired but..... my CO wanted to carry on marching and finish 24km at one shot. At first I didn't agree with him, but I feel that we should push ourselves to the limit. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks the same, most of them objected... Hai~ Bit disappointed with the end decision but what to do, even my OC objects. Life goes on....

Reach camp at noon, started weapon cleaning straightaway before they are allowed to do anything else. While they were doing their stuffs, I was playing with this new-born kitten at my Coy line... Book out @5pm and slack til now, bought my favorite Fried Hokkien Mee for dinner as it is the 1st meal that I'm having for the day....
