BACK FROM TEKONG!!!

ARGH!!! so depressing to have your weekend burnt in tekong on sat for 4D3N... SIAN BO!!! hahaha yeah n the first thing i see is my sergeants all there at SFT... think they r on duty for the parents visit day... lol yeah so we marched to permatang and camped in the worst campsite possible... HONEST! my sleeping ground was on a slope and filled with rocks, stones, roots etc... kns... den went for a navigation exercise with our instructor... man... carrying the signal set and bashing thru the jungle was killer... :S especially wayne's checkpoint... i'll never forget that one... we went up and down the old sispec den cut thru BIC grounds... hahaha n its fenced up with barbed wires so we had to scud around it la... hahaha den nite navi was BAD! just walk w/o knowing where my legs end up... hahaha bashing was even harder... :S sianz... but still managed to sleep well somehow... the stones etc didnt really bother me cos i was too shagged to feel them... wahahaha

2nd day was all about FCO and the drills... damned alpha again... now must lepoard crawl from bound to bound... walao eh! with the friggin LAW tube AGAIN! kns... i thought i'll never see it again after sit test but wtf... here i am carryin it again... :S hahaha den nite time i got to be 2ic for the night ambush with the trip flare! wheee! i got to pull the trip flare too! hahaha really nice just like fireworks... haha

3rd day we learnt flanking in the morning... n it was the first time i bashed thru a mangrove sia! hahaha n go thru the low tide somemore... thank god i had goretex boots... haha n 1st time i ever lepoard crawl upslope with a LAW in some thick undergrowth... haha it was killer... den later we had another navigation exercise this time on our own... so at first we went "holland" aka LOST for 1hr + den i took charge and led the way... we managed to make up lost time and ended up finishing 2nd overall! haha woohoo! i must say that i have good navigational skills... oh n did i ever mentioned when i was in jakarta at the age of 4, i directed my way home from kindergarden... haha yeah no kidding n we walked from west to east of tekong man... from permatang to oil palms and back to permatang... kns... damn shagged that day man...

4th day we practiced whatever drills we learnt so far... den rushed to change into fresh clothes cos u cant wear muddy ones to the ferry... haha luckily it didnt rain a single drop while we were in tekong... :P and thank god the instructors didnt give us a turn out... not much tekan oso... i just wonder why always during outfield, our movement is soooo sluggish... den when we were at the ferry terminal, we were like flying to the toilet and changing n stuff... and must always appreciate the fact that fresh rations ALWAYS beats combat rations... whatever they serve... i probably eatened the worst cookies and muffins outfield and yet it still tastes the best at that moment of time... WAHAHAHA

hectic week so far... had demolition lessons and a demo test on fri and just now had a map reading re-test... the whole wing failed la... passing mark is 85%... wtf rite... hope i fared well... :S haha later goin drinking session cos this week mental and physical stress... :P great excuse huh... wahahaha tmr goin for a massage cos i really need it man... luckily this week keep on raining so all the SOC lessons CANCELED! hahaha but still had ET run 8km... :S shagged sia...
