Random Pics

hello there.. im back again. just got some brunei pics from my frens. didnt manage to snap much. here goes..



:: ready to strike!::

haha. dats me at the front n some of my men at the back. getting ready to emplane the chopper. feelin tired yet excited taking the chopper. this was the 2nd day of our mission n we were already feelin shack due to the terrain n weather. but in the end we managed to complete the whole exercise in that 4 days. no pain no gain!


:: we stick together then, we still stick together now ::

this are the malay commanders from platoon 4 n 5. coincidentally, we were all from the same platoon back in SISPEC n each of us from the different sections. from left: asyraf `sect 1, me `sect 2, yusri `sect 4, farrid `sect 3. during that time we were all given callsigns too.. there's sober, cliffhanger, gurka and rapper. those sweet n painful memories during our ASLC will always be remembered.




:: raffles class oi! ::

haha.. some cheap thrill. got a raffles class seat when goin back time. the seat is much much comfortable, like massage chair. got a lot of buttons to adjust the seat unlike the economy ones. the pillow also is bigger. this was while waiting for the plane to fly off.

n yes yes yes xiu!.. i already cross out the pic. i finally got the digicam that i badly want.. woohoo! how much it cost?.. bout the whole month of my allowance but it was worth the buy. went to shop to shop just to get the best bargain. 1 down 3 more to go!.. to sis lyn, if i go geylang again, i will try to snap here n there okaiz?.. its close to 2am now, think beta get away from the keyboard, if not will have trouble waking up for sahur. to all the muslims, continue your fasting, it will end soon.. selamat berpuasa, berbuka dan berterawih.

~Don't look no farther!~
~Baby im back (yeah)~
~Im here to cater to you (any thing that you want me: do ill do it)~
~Cause Ill be your lover (ill be your lover)~
~Ill be your best friend~
~Tell me what I gotta do (tell me what I gotta do and ill do it)~


this place has been a ghost town. i wonder anybody pay a visit here. even the tag board is stagnant. anybody notice my absence?.. or would u care less?.. oh well..

this morning ard 0725hrs my plane touch down at the lovely changi airport. everybody inside the plane was shouting, clapping, relieved that we are all back again here. its has been a my worst, horrible, hectic, terrible, fatigued 2 weeks stay in... Brunei. that would that first n last time i ever want to step in to that country. (training wise).

imagine yourself sleepin on wet ground, on a very raining nite on a very high knoll n strong winds blowing u away with only ur jacket as protection frm hypo-thermia. waking up n realise ur in the clouds. then imagine this.. have u ever seen a brain with all those gross lines here n there.. put that lines here n there on ur foot. ur foot are so wrinkled that its gross to even look at ur foot. 4 days of damn foot leads to foot-rot. n how does foot-rot feels?.. its like every step, u r stepping on thousand of needles. i almost want to cry out my pain. there was time that i just wanted to give rather than enduring the pain. wad else is bad?.. goin up n down the knolls on slippery grounds. miss one footing, n u can roll down a few metres away. i saw that happend to one of the commanders.

despite all the hardships, we managed to have fun too. when there is no more trees, branches as support, we just sit down n slide ourselves down. mud-slide! then how many hours we have back in camp?.. very little!. ppl like me will sleep close to 12 n have to wake up by 4. n because of this heavy hectic training, i was down with a very high fever - 38.9deg. even when i was at the sick bay, couldnt sleep well, instead was shivering the nite away. even lost of appetite.

bottomline, its a good xperience goin to Brunei. thou it was tough, my platoon stay close, help each other, carry each other loads. its all about mind over body when ur over there. sorry, couldnt publish any photos coz i dun have a camera! (where is my exilim?? hee). will try to get some photos frm other ppl. till then let me have a good rest b4 resuming training again (sigh). selamat berpuasa..

happy anniversary bi***ch!

for the past year..
u made me suffer under the scorching sun
u made me crawl on the muddy soil
u made me stand in the rain for hours
u made me walk with weights on my back for hours
u made me run here n there for no reason
u made me eat under 5 mins

nonetheless
i learnt how to be confident
i learnt how to discipline myself
i learnt how to have fun
i learnt how to be humble
i learnt how to overcome setbacks
i learnt how to earn respect

i dun noe whether to thank you or not for making who i am now.

im a one year soldier!
