here i am back from my field camp.. another 2 weeks since my first confinement for 2 weeks.. the field camp was fun though it was a bit tiring.. learnt a lot of stuff la.. i'll just write a brief summary of some funny and interesting stuff..
road marched with all the load to several camp sites.. 6km or 8km i also forgot.. but i can proudly say we can be shopping kings too as compared to gals.. haha.. attended lectures and stuff.. learnt lotsa stuff.. building tents, reacting to enemy fire and all those precautions to be taken when under enemy attack.. like playing games actually.. for our meals, we got to eat several combat rations.. those pasta, lor mai kai and dumplings, etc in those retort pouches.. quite cool la.. but on some days, they sent us food from the cookhouse too..
oh ya, we need to put our camouflage on.. green and black.. like make up liddat.. i find it kinda cool when it's all nicely done.. i like to do the watermelon style.. green head with thin black lines.. haha.. some of my friends even use the black one to draw moustache, ear rings and different patterns.. it was a very funny affair indeed.. this kind of make up is fun because we can all laugh at each other.. but the trouble comes when you perspire and all the camo will get into your eyes and it's kinda irritating and you can't concentrate on what you're doing..
yep, my birthday's on the field camp.. my officer gave me a chocolate bar and he told me it's my honour to get a bar from a officer because his rank was a bar on his shoulder.. haha.. my platoon mates kinda celebrated for me also.. and thanks to everyone who bought me presents, wished me or help me celebrate it.. really appreciate it..
anyway, i got to experience something quite interesting on my birthday.. Shitting.. in da forests.. HAHA.. well, ya gotta take your ET blade to dig a hole and then ya shit in it.. after that tons of flies will come and you must bury them with your shit because it's all about hygiene and you won't want people to step on your poop.. and i left my poop in all the 3 campsites.. HAHA.. it's kinda addictive.. once ya poop, ya gotta do it again.. and there was once everyone wanted to shit so the 20 of us set off to 1 secluded area with our ET blades and shat together.. those who shat fast would go look at thsoe who shitted the slowest and laughed at them.. we kept commenting that the butt was just like a chocolate ice cream machine.. HAHA..
(p.s: we don't actually get to wash our hands with soap after peeing and shitting.. then we'll continue to eat after that.. i thought we'll all get food poisoing after eating with all our dirty fingers with mud, poop and don't know what but we're still okay.)
other than that, i saw a wild boar when i was waking up from my deep beauty sleep.. these gigantic piggies should just leave us alone and find their own food.. one of them broke one of my mates' tents and dragged a bag with food in it to dunno where before it feasted on the foodie.. how cool was that.. actually not much could be done because wild boars are dangerous and are lethal..
then there were some sergeants who would be prowling and on the look out for people who didn't hold their rifle by their side.. like for example when we're eating or sleeping.. we gotta hold on and keep a lookout for 'em.. they would also try to steal the rifles in the dark when we're still powder bathing because there isn't water for us to bathe anyway.. because everyone was like so tired so they let their guard down and there goes their rifles.. these people would then have to report for guard duty and guard our sleeping area from wild boars.. i volunteered for one from 3 to 4 am but i didn't get to see any wild boars..
we devised a way to prevent them from getting to our rifles.. so we set a code.. if a sergeant is within sight, we'll all say batman and it's all spreaded to everyone and everyone would look out for their rifles.. actually stealing rifles is kinda fun.. i tried to steal some of my friends' when they were eating or sleeping.. most were unsuccessful but i managed to steal one and he was like so anxious.. hehe.. i know i'm mean but it's really fun and i returned it to him in the end anyway..
on the 2nd last of camp, we were supposed to dig holes to fit out own bodies.. it was alright but the shaping and designing was a bit hard.. thanx to all my buddies who had helped me made the steps for the shell strip.. 12 of us dug a fire trench together and it's all done with everyone's effort..
the field camp ended with a last event where we had to crawl under live machine gun bullets shooting at the top.. it was very exciting but also tiring but we all made it in the end..
that's all for my highlights of the field camp..
thanks to my mom for helping to wash some of my dirty clothing not washed for 7 days.. hope my gramps will get well soon.. some liver problems here and there and she's not eating.. but i'm sure she'll get better..
now i'm gonna cover some funny and interesting stuffs in camp..
some army songs.. they're sung in a very weird and funny way..
the underwear song
i no money i don't care
i buy cheap cheap underwear

i steal sergeant's underwear..
i no money i don't care
i buy branded underwear

Valentino also can..
i no money i don't care

and there's also this short smoker song when people wanna go smoke..
smoker song
tick tock tick tock
time to smoke
1 day 3 sticks we must smoke
smoke already become fit..
everybody come get it!!
the smokers seems kinda pissed everytime when they're going to smoke..
lastly there's this sergeant, sir song when you call a sergeant a sir or vice versa
Sergeant, Sir song
Sergeant is Sergeant
Sir is Sir
Sergeant is not a Sir
Sir is not a Sergeant
Dont't call Sergeant, a Sir
And don't call Sir, a Sergeant
Call Sergeant, a sergeant
And call Sir, a Sir
it's kinda like a punishment song.. but it's a funny song nevertheless when someone gets to sing it..
