" I REC Mohd Firdaus, i/c no S8429363F,
right masterhand, no sweaty palm, permission to enter the bay sergeant!"
i think i becoming slacker during this fasting month.. we were excused frm doin 5BX.. futhermore no much runnin to do.. in spite of all that, i still passed my IPPT.. allamdullilah..
nuthin much to update cept for the strong temptations to drink to wet my dry throat.. seriously, its really dry.. when u see other ppl bath in sweat, u see us with minimal sweat coz no more water in our body.. there was once, our company has to do 'saikang' (shit work).. we have to go to this place and clear all the dry leaves, clear growth found at the concertina wire, rearrange dummies, sand bags.. during break time, seeing the non-muslims quenchin their thirst with orange drink.. fuuhh.. tell u ah.. i really do want to break fast at that time siah coz im freaking dry.. thank god, i tell myself i can do w/o it.. just patiently wait for margrib..
other than that, training has been good.. my back injury also has recovered.. one of my chinese platoon mates went to me n said, "i admire u guys, fasting n still training like us. if i ah, lunch time only, my stomach growling already"..
im just typin at random, dun really have a clue how to blog properly.
next week wont be bookin out coz will b goin into the jungle.. hope to have good time there..
in the meantime, this is wad we always said during our trainings:
Basic Close Combat Training (BCCT)
+ "KILL!" "KILL!"..
everytime we kena pumping, we have to shout this word.. haa
Hand Grenade
+ "safety ring twist, safety ring pull, safety ring out"
+ "grenade prepared n ready to throw"
+ "grenade!"
+ "1000, 2000, 3000 ... 7000"
+ "1000"
the calls u have to make when throwin grenade
think i shud go now ah.. otak mati already.. happy fasting..

it was dusk time. the sun has just set, the sky slowly turning black.
facing the landmark, were hundreds of people. one by one was handed a 'wife'. they had to no choice but to accept their fate. then, everyone took an oath, to look after her day and night, rain or shine, never to leave without her. the ceremony lasted about an hour half. that nite was my weapon presentation ceremony. the wife i was handed was a m16s1.. -051004

i ask my love
to take a walk
to take a walk
down orchard road
bypass mandarin
to centrepoint
where we had lunch
at mcdonalds
we had fillet
and an apple pie
we share a cup
of lemon lime
i held her hands
lookin into her eyes
i ask her to
to be my valentine
now i confine
in BMTC
i miss you so
my sweet honey
i promise you
when i book out
i call u up
and take you out
there was one nite
there was no light
there was no light
so we use torch light
in the clear moon light
looking into her eyes
i ask her to
to be my future wife
