block leaves are quite boring.. staying at home doing nothing.. i feel like i'm wasting my life away.. well anyway..

story continues.. after 1st book out, all the things start coming in.. i cant say that Whiskey company is slack, but just that our schedule is not that tight and we have more admin time compared to other companies.. we still need to maintain basic discipline and stuffs.. oh ya.. 2nd book in is only 3 days to book out.. so quite slack la huh.. then comes field camp.. 8 clicks to field campsite was quite tough.. don't know why when all of us could clear our last 24 clicks easily.. when we reached the campsite, we were supposed to build our basha (our tent 2persons to 1 basha).. we were supposed to put on everything (rifle, LBV and helmet) when building.. then one of my friends took out his helmet for a while, and when he put back on his helmet, he got bitten by a centipede THIS BIG.. and i mean REAL BIG.. so i took my ET stick and blade, trying to kill it by chopping it into pieces as it crawls away.. amazingly, the centipede still can continue crawling even when i chopped off like 3/4 of it's body.. so i use the stick to smash its head till it's flatten and dead.. then sergeant ong came.. my buddy was saying that i'm so cruel.. so ong said(with his usual funny tone),"cruel.. you think it's cruel.. wait till you get bitten by it.. then you tell me who's cruel.." so those around were laughing.. oh.. we didnt get to bath in out field.. 1st evening.. the commanders asked us to fall in.. then took off everything and powder bath.. ong wants us to become like geisha.. so you know what i mean.. then he wanted us to unload check clear.. which is very funny to us.. ask me what is this.. i'm not gonna explain here.. so if there's not enough powder on us.. we were supposed to put MORE..

in field camp, we practised our fire movement, tactical movement etc (which is jungle fight la).. one of my friends(the one who has washing powder in his locker) super funny.. when we were practising the retreat, we're not suppose to point our rifles to the back as we run back cause we might shoot our friends.. so guess what he did.. i think he ran backwards.. that was super funny.. so he kena from my sergeant.. 2nd time.. he turned back and run.. however, this time he slotted his rifle under his arms pointing forward and ran to the back.. all of us laughed till our jaws almost dropped la.. oh.. then we also practised rolling left and right.. i think somebody got stuck halfway which made him look like a tortoise.. hahaha.. oh ya.. it rained during field camp.. many may think that it's bad.. but thank God, it rained in the afternoon when we were undergoing training.. so all trainings stopped for a while and we were supposed to go into our basha and rest till the rain stop.. however.. we did leopard crawl in the mud cause we moved too slowly.. hahaha.. but good thing is it never rains when we were sleeping at night.. especially when we slept in cowboy style in the oil palm plantation.. quite cool eh cause you get to see the stars and sleep.. oh.. i think there are monkeys or squirrels there la.. while we were sleeping.. some people said that there are things "dropping" on them.. i mean they threw the fruits at them.. funny la..

the most tiring thing of field camp is to dig the shellscrap (a hole for us to lie in and take aim at the enemy without them seeing us from far).. so the hole must be deep and big enough and comfortable for us to lie in.. so the bigger you are, the bigger hole you need to dig.. WAHAHA.. but it was really tiring.. commanders gave us 1hr to dig but i think they knew we can't do it so fast la so we exceeded like don't know how many hrs but still cant finish.. then those that dig too slow were asked to cover up and dig again.. the feeling is like "God, struck lightning down and bomb a hole please".. oh.. my platoon there's this guy very fit from poly dragon boat.. super muscular.. he finished in like 45mins and he went around helping like at least 5 other people to dig.. so at night, all of us suppose to sleep in our own "hole".. each hole is around 5m apart.. quite far.. but our platoon trying to be funny.. we intended to sleep with our own section people so most of us slept outside.. then ong saw the bouncer(his nickname) then he asked him,"what you doing here?" he replied," sergeant, im...im abit scared".. hahahahhahah.. when we heard that we were laughing like crazy.. imagine a bouncer saying that.. oh.. and i heard "wild boars".. it was my friend snoring.. haha

we were not supposed to dispose our rubbish but to keep it (even though there are rubbish bins around).. they say is to train us cause next time when we go training in units there will not be any bins around.. so there are 2 guys in my section (one is the washing powder guy) went to do their business and then wanting to bury their rubbish.. so one officer from another platoon saw them being suspicious then he went over and ask them what are they doing.. my friend actually said they wanted to bury the rubbish.. hahaha super honest.. so the officer said cannot and he went off.. then he saw ong and told him that 2 guys from his platoon trying to bury his rubbish.. then one guy very funny just walk past the 2 of them.. so the officer say," there.. this one loh.. later i show you the next one.." after which.. the washing powder guy walked past.. "there.. this is the another guy.." hahah.. it doesnt sound funny but when you think of the officer trying to bao tou and then the victims walking past.. it's very funny..

I'll wait for the right time to come
