Yup from am back from the 7 day field camp, so how you guys do doing my period of adsence? hehe… anyway, I had my experience to share here, a brief happening of Life !:

Field camp is ready all “all out there to get it” Out field, I really got to appreciate the life there, the wildlife ( not to mention several rare species of insects and arachnids ), the jungle, plantations and forest life, the sweat the dirt the pain and fatigue, thru hell and back you can say! My company, Foxtrot Company in BMTC is well known for their ‘gagang’ ( very “on” and enthusiastic) commanders. Other coys have their field camps basically jus for teaching and testing. On the other hand, ours was made similarly to that of an operation, our instructors got us to apply what we’ve learnt (from drills to fieldcraft) all day by day into our missions. With enemies here and there, with friendly and hostile forces..etc. its really immersive and very much like a war game, all thanks to our officer commanding (OC). Also, we got to march campsites to campsite daily while other companies got to take the tonner trucks ( darn! with our 10kg ++ full battle order its no easy task! ) yes very gagang indeed…. I was appointed platoon commander for 2 days courtesy of my platoon sergeant ( hehheh darn! :p ) and I say, it really taught me much on leadership and made me feel how its like to be in control of so many people. Moreover, during my time of command my platoon was really really cooperative, I respected them as much as they respect me and we got our tasks all done the way we wanted- great nicely and with minimal cock and screw ups ( not to mention the punishments.. lol! ). Personally, the best part of the camp is not only the bonding sessions with our superiors, but also, when I was alone by the campfire at night, spending time by myself, writing my dairy with a tin full of maggi noodles and hot coffee by your side- all after a hard long day of exercises, coupled with the sound of crickets chirping in the dark, a very pleasant experience indeed. Glad the worst is all over… for now

Break Period! Booked out the night where the camp ended and whew, a two day break with May day (a public holiday) being the 2nd day ( Tomorro ) Happy May Day!

And yea! what to do after 1 week of hell? go all the way to pamper myself man! Today- Had lunch at a family restaurant @ Bukit Merah with my mum before heading to Sim Lim Square for 2 new games ( Battlefield 1942 and IGI 2 ) and a WinTV TV tuner card ( hehheh, my computer have a remote now.. *evil grin* ), no more TV hogging at the living room now… Munched my way into a whooper meal @ Burger King Burglinton Square thereafter, before heading home to enjoy my new hardware. hehe!

X-men 2 the movie opens today, will be watching it soon… possiblity over the weekend.

On BMT, passed the M16 technical handling test on friday, hehe so she (aka the rifle “wife”) & me, would be together for sometime. Parents visiting day for the newer enlistees is on during the last weekend, and us “old birds” have got to serve guardduty on saturday for increased security. And man its really really tiring, not to mention prowling the camp into the wee hours of the morning, otherwise, its also very fun and exciting.

Booked out of tekong just this morning, therefore explaining this late sunday entry.

And grr, broke my specs during range. Though I don’t wear it often due to my low degree level, gotta get a new pair for range shooting asap. As damn shag as I can get, this week is indeed a very very tiring day, not to mention overloaded with responsibility as elected Platoon IC for the week- BMT is in full gear now, with hardly any free time in our hands, lessons carry on consecutively hour after hour. darn!

Will be looking forward to good friday next week, would be booking out on thursday night.

BMT started, and all the “xing jiao” (new birds aka fresh recruits) are enlisted into tekong already. We “lau jiao” (old birds) get to book out while the newbies serve their recruitment confinement period.. hehe still remember the old days as a freshmeat.. the monotonous “left, right, left, right” trade mark marching, super messed up marching and ultra clean PT shoes- definate giveaways of new birds. Booked out from tekong at 9.45am, had chow time with my platoon mates at Macdonalds, Whitesands before heading home. Went to my grandparents home thereafter for lunch and kinda dozed off there the whole afternoon thereafter- Kinda shack after the 3km endurance training at camp this morning.

After dinner at brickworks, went to ikea to buy two wall shevles for my game boxes, they are really crowding out my room’s library book shelf and I have to transfer some up onto the walls to safe up space. kinda neat having all you game boxes placed above the computer too.. hehe. Also, my sister brought a mini book shelf too to store her ever expanding anime comic collection. *wheez* Managed to squeeze everything into my dad’s sedan, and man! sitting at the backseat crowded with boxes is really a feat, talking about contortions!

Tried out IGI2 and raven shield demo from this month’s PC mag’s CD and I say IGI2 is a really a great game, after splinter cell. These are one of the very few “thinking games” other than the all mindless shooters like croteam’s serious sam, will rock, etc…etc.. Furthermore, Rambo six 3 (Raven Shield) spots running on a not so outdated unreal engine and the visuals are definately much better than the previous versions, only that now, its more geared up to the “classic shooter style” than tactics. Played a few rounds of weekly Counter-strike and mmm, not bad in performance I say, top frags in all the rounds @ starhub servers.. hehe man I am sooo good!…

Mmmm and today’s Zouk’s 12 aniversary.. hehe

Currently Listening: Elvis vs JXL – A little less conversation

Well, its still early in the morning, got all my stuff packed and tekong here I go again. Will be back this saturday. Chaos!
