Saturday fever

Slept at 3 am last night. woke up at 630. my mom asked me to go kedai buy sarapan. go to the kedai mamak beli epok2. before that the owner asked me to help him carry a table. mcm sial. kedai kau, kau angkat ar sendiri. aku nk beli epok2. then went to jog at 730. finished at 0900. jog a total of 8 km. yeah. then went home. found out that there's nobody at home. I have 3 choice. first, mintak my neighbour for spare keys, wait my father to got home and thirdly go to my makcik house. Nk mintak my jiran, segan pulak..maner tau tgh tido. so i decided to wait for my father.tunggu punyer tunggu tk balek2. in the end i knocked on my neighbour door for the keys. slamat dah bangun.

Then went to play soccer. woo! after 5 weeks of no soccer, i finally played soccer. kaku ar sikit. very tiring sia. after few hours of playing we stop because of the rain. then went home to change before going out. at this point my body felt very weak ar...and I had FEVER. To me if u had fever suddenly, it means u work too much without enough rest. that was true ar. i havent ate and i went to jog and play soccer. i had mee soto once i got home.

went out to beach road with kama, raffie and annuar to buy army stuff. haha. raffie, apa mau field camp beb. gua dah over ar..harap2 hujan lebat. haha. ate panadol and i felt better. then went to bugis to buy my earpiece. then lepak2. bual2 merepek...till 1000 and went home. i had a great time today. and to kama, thanks ar for making me choke in the bus. appreciate it alot.Thanks once again.

Situational test and Live Grenade throwing Next week. Woo!!

Physical Phase

This week we have nothing much. So its more to physical training than combat training. Oh yeah we have started our Standard obstacle course(SOC) where we have to climb wall, climb rope..jump here jump there..tiring ar...the rope...its almost like impossible to me...but i managed to do it eventually...and i got blisters and rope burn on my hand. its been raining in the past few days..i really think its Global warming. It shouldn't be raining in july. July supposed to be hot. so people. Please save the earth. Use less plastic. Please.

then we had circuit training almost everyday. Circuit training is like excercising. there is 10 station. each station got one excercise. like push up, jumping jack, burpees etc. leh mati ar...u dun go one set...but u go 3 sets...u go all the 10 station 3 times. we also had some running. Night is Own time own target running. For those who wants to run can run. I ran every night with my friends. To loose weight lah of course...babat kat perot dah berlambak...haha.

We had our grenade throwing lessons just now. wah the grenade assault course really kills me man..u know the water level is up to knee level and we had to run..wah...giler..i rather swim ar...haha..but it was fun and great experience.

we booked out at 9 pm..reached home 2330. mcm sial. haiz..but atleast we booked out on fridays..:)

Friendless Saturday

Ok. First of all. No soccer Today. ARGH!! dah lame sak tk main. Its been like more than a month i never played. Haiz..sumer ader hal sendiri. Then in the afternoon, nk Kluar tkde Kawan. haha. then Annuar msg me to follow him to buy things. so we went to Queensway to buy my Jeans and then to Funan to buy his stuff. We shopped at Guardian. Buy alot of Stuff. Then went to challenger to buy his Hard disk. Then went home. Haiz...what a boring Saturday. Well at least its better than sitting at home. At least i can enjoy my "SALARY".haha

Im sleepy

6th day: Machine Guns

LAst Day...we were very excited..pack our things and go to this place for our last training. this course is to test our confidence and endurance. We had to leapord crawl for 40m and back crawl for 40 m. thats not all we had machine guns bullets flying over our heads. explosion on the ground. its like a real battle field. Tiring sia. the ground is sandy makes us harder to moved. some stop because for tiredness. but dun stand for whatever reasons. bullets flying over ur head and if u stand...thats it ar. TIRED.

We all celebrated after that to mark the ending of the field camp. Good learning experience. We took some pictures for memories. Im glad that i can passed through this 6 days.

I shitted 4 times out of 6 days..

5th Day: Rain Rain Go Away

5th day. Im appointed to become the platoon In charge.woke at 5..wake all my platoon mates to get ready. Ya its quite leceh ar to be platoon IC especially at field camp. must take order, tell my platoon mates. we had our test today. what we have learned, we have to execute it today. from urban ops to jungle warfare. Everything.Urban Ops we passed it easily. The jungle warfare was a bit cocked up. I like the air plane drill. where u got to shoot bullets non stop in the air.its the easiest ar. The sniper drill, i had to carry that big guy again. haha. then there is this moment we had to clear the enemies.Leader jammed his weapon and the whole team cocked up. he cant even see the enemy ar....sucks...but eventually we passed. During our test..it just rained. so everything is wet. Artillery drill we were supposed to lie down on the ground and keep our head down. wah..my whole body was in a puddle of water and my face was facing down...imagine that..haha..damn tiring. went backt to our kubur...wah ....field pack floating...some sank...damn demoralising ar...everyone had their sad face shown..clothes wet...socks wet...wah...Lieutenant Azhar tried to cheer us up by making us throwing all the sergeant into puddle of water..even he were being thrown into the puddle...fun...but we all got a good scolding and the punishment my the Officer In Charge for being playful. Even the Sergeant got scoldings. after that cooked our dinner, powder bath and sleep. What a day...

4th day: The Kubur

We thought that our field camp has reached its peak, but we were wrong. One more thing to do. The Shell scrape. it is a kubur size hole which is not as deep. It is use to take cover from enemy fire. wah...it may look easy but it is not. because we are using those stupid mini cangkul. it took us the whole day to dig it. wah..rabak. Before lunch 2 orang pengsan. we had to seized the activity for a moment. during the digging i killed countless earthworms. Terkene the cangkul blades. sorry. My kubur was hard to dig. dekat ngan pokok. byk akar. haiz.but i managed to finished it.yeah. Guess what. we are going to sleep in there tonight. Woo! without any cover. ur field pack and u inside. some of us got Termites inside the hole. wah suway.

sleeping in the whole kecoh giler...dlam hutan mcm2 bende ader...bunyi mcm2. there was once a group of monkeys were in my area...bising giler...kecoh. we all try to halau all those monkeys. memekak giler...dorang halau but i stay in my kubur and try to sleep. haha. yeah hell of a day..!

3rd day: Guard Duty

Woke up in the morning.Have breakfast as usual. usually i had two piece of biscuit. Oh..we had night walk the previous night. Walking at night without using any lights. damn. it was scary to pass by some rumah2 usang. its really eerie.after breakfast, we proceed on with some lesson. followed by practice of Jungle Warfare. Then proceed to the last lesson. Damn it was open space and it was damn hot. foo! giler babi ar the weather. tahan je. Then we proceed on with practice. it was a rough day. Exhausted. Many things we learn. Sniper drill was the toughest. Had to carry a casualty. Damn it. The person was 90 kg and i had to carry him on my shoulder. Tiring. after Dinner we had powder bath and went to sleep. I was assigned to guard duty that night. Argh!! must guard for 2 hours. dah lah gelap..mcm2 bunyi dengar. but it is in pair so im not so scared. My partner kept pointing rifle he said he saw a person. FUCK you. THeres nobody there. idiot. Kept making me scared. It was either leaf hanging or a small tree. and he thought it was a human. the sentry post was relax ar. Talk to Eddie for one hour. kept laughing. talking about each other life. it was quite a good moment ar to have someone to talk to at night. then at 2 am we went to sleep.

2nd day: Adaptation

2nd day, half of the day we spend on urban ops. still shooting bullets around. Woo! then after lunch, many people not feeling well. muke satu satu lembik. well, its adaptation, living in the forest, it will be ok in a while. after lunch we had our conventional training. This is the MAIN picture of the field camp. Conventional warfare, also known as jungle warfare where we are trained to fight in the jungle.This is where the tiredness start. Sweat, bleeds, cuts and bruises. I enjoyed the training although it was tiring. There is this funny thing happened to my friend. we were supposed to take cover behind a tree to take cover when there is enemy contact. proning(body flat on the ground in shooting position). So we go as a group, and there is enemy, quickly we proned. my friend he accidentally prone on a pile of shit. hahahha it was damn funny ar...and it was human shit, cause there is toilet paper around. bodoh! aku dah korek kan lobang untok kau berak, berak ar...berak tempat lain. sape yg berak tu betol2 kurang ajar. then at 6 we had our dinner and sleep after that.

Oh yeah...i forgot to mention we don't bath at jungle. we POWDER bath. yeah using powder to clean ur self. use powder to whiten ur self. really u must be completely white before we were allowed to wear new clothes. i had a tough time Passing as i have a dark skin. My indian friend had a terrible time. hahaha. Just kidding.

First day: The Beginning

OK. Im gonna split this field camp experience into 6 posting cause i definitely can remember what experienced during my field camp. Its gonna be a long story. if u are interested continue reading ar. Ok on the first day. We started with a 6km route march at 9am. Route march is marching with ur full battle order. U have to wear ur combat helmet, ur field pack(approximately 10kg) , ur LBV(Live bearing Vest)with ur 3 litres of water in water bag and 1 litre of water bottle and finally ur Rifle. Its tiring but when you keep on singing, trust me u will not feel the tiredness. after the route march, we changed and get ready to go to the campsite. we collect combat ration(urgh!!) and pack inside the field pack and good to go.went to the eastern part of tekong, deep deep into the jungle by a toner(army lorry). it was an oil palm plantation. pitch our Basha(a simple form of tent) and have our lunch. Suddenly sergeant Fiq shout,"Even Number bed, fall in and bring ur ET tools(mini cangkul)". Wah!! he asked us to dig shit holes for the whole company. it was tiring ar..dig until ur knee level. and there is only 6 shit holes for 160 people. hahaha. What a start!

Then we had our lunch. Bluek!! combat ration sucks. even though the name were nice. Such as.Mutton curry pasta, it sucks.I dun know how to describe it, but its really sucks. haha. Then we put our Camouflage cream on and get ready for Urban Ops training.

Urban Ops was fun. U know like Counter strike game? Yeah something like that. wah i fired the rifle like fire machine gun until im out of ammo. the training overall was great. I really enjoyed it.

after that we had our dinner and go back to sleep. first day was orite. It was a good experience. a good start.

The week Before...

Ok..I decided to put title for every posting. I realised its kental to put numbers on how many posting u have written. Haha. Ok one week before field camp. atcually i cant remember much of what happen. I only remembered i have to recut my hair as it was getting long.$2 for the cut. cheap. then i remembered there is running. we do kena tekan sometimes...oh yeah there is also talk by the Commanding officer about Command School. Yes. I am Determined to go to Command school. Command School there is two type. One is SISPEC (school of Infantry Specialist) and OCS (officer Cadet School). The best is of course OCS where u are commissioned as 2nd lieutenant by the president upon graduation. Yeah i will definitely do my best to go there. SISPEC is where all the sergeant is trained. Well if i get there, I will be more than Happy. Like My platoon sergeant say, for 2 years u might as well achieved something. yes its gonna be tough but its worth it. We are supposed to choose whether want to go to command school or not. For me its a definite YES. So thats what happen basically the week b4 my field camp begins.

That time i really pray to god please dun jam my weapon. seram. u will missed 3 - 4 target if u got ur weapon jam. u were supposed to hit 8/16 for day shoot.imagine u jam ur weapon 3 times...thats it...u fail. seram. but alhamdulilah my weapon didnt jam for day shoot. i got 13/16 target shot.

The night shooting..sux. I missed another 3 target. because my weapon jam. haha. padan muke.
