Field Camp
DAY1
Set off from company line with my ever-so-heavy feild pack... was very stressed out coz there's this feeling of leaving out something... anyway took off as point platoon [the ones that walked in front] for a very very very long route march... had to sing song and stuff along the way... 1st we stop at this place called SALABIN or something like tat and have our 1st lesson... camo... damn... is like putting on facial... all green then must add adidas strips on the face... then we learn the art of camoflage... to blend in with the surrounding... by putting stupid leaves and grass and plants on our body... then had to do jumping jacks with our rifle to prove that the wouldn't drop... some how ARMY DAZE made it look so simple... they should just do a movie solely on field camp... anyway... march off from that place to our 1st camp site Rubber plantation... pitch our camp [aka basha] no its not those you pull one string and it pop out one... damn irritating... imagine marching for 1 hour plus with this huge pack that numbs your arm TOTALLY then get 15 min to set up stuff.. HELL... then we had our 1st powder bathe... freaking gross... sweating the whole day then they ask you to strip to your underwear and put prickly heat [aka snake powder] all over till you look like ghost... worst thing? 170 odd ppl doing almost together... when the wind blows... i tell you.... had our first try of combat rations.... this green packet of food [am glad to bring back for you guys to try but its prohibited] well the menu sounds nice nonya curry rice, pasta with chicken, tomato seafood rice... tell you the only nice things are the biscuits... tried to slp at night... was freaking tired so did manage to catch some slp
to be continued

STRESS
No... not vincent peh jun yuan... IM the stressed one... was appointed platoon I/C by SGT Raja... didnt have a great time doing it... today was worst... SGT herdi was pissed by the standard though he didnt blame me... felt resposible for it... in words of Uncle ben " with great powers come great resposibility" though not much power yet... still have the sense of resposibility there... but the platoon cant seem to understand... haiz...
Today met up with desmond coz he want me to hear some great business... bein my favourite jr... gave him a chance [considering how he's been buggin me...] no la... was thinkin go down to take a look see if can help him... end up is som networkin thiny... everythiny they say makes sense but its just not my cup of tea... how can everyone just bring ppl in... who will sell the thingy? weird... worst... they keep talking and talking and talking and talking andtalking and talking andtalking and talking andtalking and talking and [you get the idea] was 11 plus when i went off... damn was i tired...
