Field camp was great. till the last day. when my rifle was supposedly stunned by a sergeant. well F^%* it. i was having my breakfast, in which we were allowed to remove our rifle n place it beside me. so while i was feeling abit annoyed at the punishment we did earlier, i juz stood up n start dragging the sand back into my self script which is a kind of coffin like hole tt i dug the previous day. then this sergeant from other platoon came walking towards me. noting that he could be here to try n stun my rifle while i was unaware, i quickly drop down to grab hold of my rifle. the bloody bastard juz walk to me, grab hold of my rifle sling n keep shouting "LET GO!" wtf?? shldnt i be shouting tt to him instead? all those around me jolly well saw tt i got hold of it well before he did n i was not in a position to be faulted. he kept shouting so i decided to let go after considering my options. what r my options? to let go or to punch him, which my own sergeants had told us. all my buddies around me agreed tt i should haf just knock him out. should i really? well, too bad, i juz lost all my mood the whole day. it's like for 7 days i guarded my rifle so well even during my sleep, and then this stupid bugger juz came n force the rifle away from me. and now i have to return 20 hours earlier than the rest of the pple to serve my guard duty. picked to do the shift tmr even though there's about 50 more people on the waiting list to serve (which probably another 70 had served during the field camp). well, just my luck.
anyway during the field camp i realised tt Pulau Tekong is another paradise in Singapore. why? becoz there's so many different kind of habitats in there... a place where i believe all natural lovers would want to be in. the field camp, besides all the "tekang-ing" by sergeants, was a fun learning experience in our platoon level activities.
It was extremely fun during our missions to sneak up on Scorpion Company. We did it twice. the first time we did a light camou on our face n juz slowly crawl to their site, hiding behind trees. we were about 60m from them, in which we couldnt proceed further becoz of their superior location on top of a noah (or however u spell it. it meant a hill). the second time was damn fun. we did face camou and then started putting grasses n leaves on us.. then sneak up on them. this time it was damn sucessful. some of us almost reach their basha aka their tents! it was like we were within 5-30 metres from them .. we could easily steal their stuffs or if we were to carry out an attack on them, we would kill them easily even if we were outnumbered 1 to 4. hahaha... charles, did u realised tt there were pple spying on u twice??
well well, had a fever on the day of my book in together with a sore throat n cough .. and then which i lost my voice for the rest of the week. still not recovering.. but at least it got abit better n tt i'm able to talk abit with a hoarse voice. but at least i didnt fall sick during the field camp.. in which a few pple had to redo their field camp with another company.. sigh..
_just me_
