Lights Out!! Leo's one and only blog

What a good day yesterday was! Met up with the TS for cakes at TAKA... can't remember the place already. Just remembered it was at the 2nd floor and that we saw huang biren there. Oh and did I mention that it was Piggy's birthday? Happy birthday gorgeous! Took some pics and later that day when we went through them piggy spotted a paranormal happening in one of them! There was this electric line linking yogi and munie! Could this be an indication of things to come? Probably not. Also, I happen to see my BIG aunty at HMV with her mom and youngest sis. Had a great though short time talking with them. Found out that Gladys is working at ST engineering which is good! But she is dealing with waste water which is NOT good, ewww....

After that, met up with the TK clan sans manson, jimmy, bernard, brad and square head. That meant only 4 guys were present. Went to Acid Bar(as usual) but it was full house! Suck thumb, we went to the bar at the back and started our drinking session. The difference between the session this time and the deepa-raya one is that there was no girl with lovely eyes nor bijin to feast our eyes on. WTH! T'was a bad day...

So how was my 8 day field camp? Great! ex-zebra and ex-spade combined together. First night, I was too lazy to pitch a tent so in the middle of the night you first feel a squirrel walking all over your left leg then a drop of water fall on your face. You wipe it away thinking it's morning dew from the leaves then after you first wipe the "dew" away, many more start falling on you till it start raining cats and dogs and before you know it, you're all wet! Even the gore-tex jacket doesn't help as your bottom will be all wet and you have a mini fish tank in your boots. But since training has to go on, we start our navex and drills till i discover I have abraisions everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE! Specifically, the OBVIOUS area, the waist, arm pits and shoulders! Last day of Zebra, I was the PC(platoon commander) runner for the final mission. Damned, that appointment was tough! Imagine running up and down the place with a signal set for 6 hours which is much heavier than the full pack and you can't put it down while everyone else can with their full packs! Towards the end of the mission, PC kana sniper shot, PS also. So what to do? I kana PC appointment! So have to organise casevac(casualty evacuation), navigate out of the "danger zone" and bring the guys out of there to HQ. Trust me Il n'est pas facile! At the end of the mission my friends told me that I looked very "zai" while running up and down with the signal set because I didn't look like was tired but the truth is, I was dying! But cannot give up wat so continue to chiong lor. After that, my shoulders were sore for the rest of the field camp till afew days after I went back to my bunks.

So that marked the end of 4 days of ex-zebra and then we embarked onto ex-spade. Another 4 days but this time its nolonger mission based but all about digging. So how? Dig continuously for 3 days with only 2 hours of sleep(we get to sleep more on day 3). 1 shell scrape, 2 fire trenches(had to help friends who were busy with their appointments) and 1 command post(with most of the guys from section 4)! It was damned shagged man! And my hands are still numb till now due to all the digging! Dun ask me how, even I am surprised how I can survive those 8 days because the other wings in OCS separate these 2 fieldcamps into two 4 day camps. Now, on the last day of ex-spade, we got turned out and then immediately went for our 16 klick route march. Imagine walking in your FBO(Full Battle Order) with 5 blisters on your foot, a cut toe and another toe which is bleeding and excreting pus... Pure painess. But it is all over and all we're doing now is sit back and wait for pro term!

Oh, Final SOC timing! 8:14 mins and an IPPT Gold(2.4 timing: 9:07 mins... try keeping up with me ha!)! Thank GOD! But apocalypse is dawning on me. In 2 weeks time, it'll be social night and we're forced to get a date(which I obviously do NOT have)! No date? Simple, become fatigue party and an extra to go along with it. Nice... Anyway, since my comp's been behaving awkwardly these few days, I better end this post before I lose it so before this post is deleted, LEO signing off!
