[ 482. Field Camp II ]

Ok, finally i'm rested well enough to do some write up about my 7 day 6 nite tour of pulau tekong. I'm totally totalled i guess... my eyes are sort of opened during the fieldcamp, knowing people, knowing myself even more each day. I concluded i hate the field. No bath and proper toilets for seven days, cold dry food for most meals, damp sleeping areas and what nots. My body is totally aching, from my back and neck, even my poor fingers. Try digging a shellscrape for 9 hours and you will be able to identify my pains. haha. The morale of the camp was mostly down, with the exception of the tonner ride back to company line. A lot of firsts occur during the camp, the most noted being the oc flipping out all the rubbish to check how much unused rations we threw away. So for the first time, he knock us down. And for the first time, he said that we are the worst of his batches. And again a first, he said he's gonna confine the whole company. So yeah... you can more or less predict how my whole field camp went about. Haha. 4 sites and tens and tens of km of marches and movement, i would say that tekong is actually a beautiful place beyond the boundaries of the barracks of bmtc. Though the camp was done in a rugged style and such, the beauty of nature shone on us and gave us the extra morale booster each time we sat down and peered up to a cloudless starry sky. Loved that experienced, and i was reminded of God's promise to abraham as well. I don't know why i thought of it, but it just came to me. Made mistakes during the camp like felling asleep during lectures, but learnt much as well. Guess i came back a better person.

Guess stepping out of school rendered my mental endurance much shorter than before. Even as i typed the whole big chunk previously, i need to take a short break before i resumed on this entry. I've seen much more into the human nature, particularly those in my platoon, over the past seven days. Overheard someone saying this to his buddy, "Hey, i wasn't myself for the past seven days so please forgive me if i offended you in any ways ok?" I mean, you don't give all those shit to your buddy such as stabbing him in the back and then apologise for it. Betrayal, that's what it is. My buddy commented that i totally lost it. Lost what? my mind. Screw him. I had my fair share of experiences with him, which i will not share since i'm such a nice guy. When people are tired out, there's no more energy to put on that mask that they do each day. Bare fangs show; nice traits show as well. So glad to know more people during the camp as well. Really loved some of the experiences.
