Happy Birthday!!

initially wanted to celebrate with somebody.....anybody at all....before i go in....

sad to say it just lands on a period where everybody is busy...

but the bird still has to fly....

to SURVIVOR ISLAND!! (cue the ah-ei-oh)


eh....its kinda sian lah...have to stay in camp for 2 weeks....when u see everybody happily booking out while u are there packing everything into your field pack....the morale in there isn't quite good when you are staring at a silent phone wishing for anyone to talk to....its that bad...

the next day when i woke up, we were rushing to get on our way to route march to our camp site...only had the chance to switch on the phone to see what happy messages i have....didn't get the chance to reply at all...so...thanks to all those who wished me happy birthday...im just too busy at that time to reply...

Route marching 8km with a bag of corns equivalent on your back isn't any morale boosting either...especially on ur birthday...its quite tiring to talk every single step, wondering when will it ever end...only to realised that they have planned you to walk one big circle to a place just 3 km away from our company line....so we walked 5 km extras! -.- wth...army....

inside me, im feeling half happy yet half sad....happy and eager to see how i survived....but also angry at times with my fat, lazy, retarded-than-me buddy...now at least i noe how 'she' felt back then...tolerating with a retarded person day by day...here are some examples:

1: Stoning
He would stone there while you are doing something

2: In & Out
He would ask you some questions that commanders just clarified just now, making u have to wonder whether has he been listening anot....

3: Lazy
He would say its troublesome than to take an extra steps to do somethings....like candywrapping our field packs in case of wild boars...

and one extra exceptional de example that nearly make me burst out my anger....

We were doing our nite walk...which is very dark...we managed to broke off once and so everybody's mood was quite bad....the theory is to follow the person infront of you....and as first man i have to follow our sergeant by the tiny luminous straw on his back....after broke up, my buddy gave a stupid comment...

BUDDY: Eh, go tell sergeant that his luminous straw too dim, i cannot see
(me ignores comment)
(buddy went ahead and tell sergeant)
(sergeant ignores comment)
(me grab buddy)
ME: WHAT YOU WHAT HIM TO DO? YOU WAN HIM TO MAKE IT BRIGHTER ISSIT? YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO FOLLOW ME AND ITS MY JOB TO FOLLOW HIM, IF I CANNOT SEE, I WOULD TOLD HIM..

furthermore, he would often sit down, ask you to help him fill up his waterbottle while you think when did he ever stand up to fill his and not to mention ever help me fill before...and when i told him that, he would be angered and say fine!...

what a happy birthday to me man....throughout the field camp was annoyed by him ah...

but still i managed to survive the 6 days field camp...its really...challanging....at times like....shitting into a damn tiny hole which u can't see? running like mad man through the jungle? digging your own grave? and sleeping on hard soils? and surviving on minimum light...


but right now i just need a good rest and a birthday cake to blow....
