Army Daze
Ok, i'm back from reservist. Tired even though i didnt do much. Had a map planning exercise for the first 3 days and basically slacked for the last 2 days. I guess the "wait to rush and rush to wait" style in the army is causing the weariness. So glad that i'm out of it.
Oh yeah, i injured my poor back as well. Got a docter to check it out and its nothing serious. No slip disc and no fracture. A couple of ponstan, a few weeks of rest and i should be back to normal. If not, i guess i should get it checked out again and who knows, i might even get a downgrade hahaha.
Ok, so i caught up with a few friends back in ICT, had a little chit chat. Guess we all missed the days back when we're in Australia. The days where canned food and maggie mee are our favourite food out in the field. Watching Lord of the Rings and playing mahjong in the midst of nowhere on a 5 Tonner. And lying on the jungle grounds gazing up in the skies with all the shiny stars and constellations that we'll never get to see in Singapore. Oh, not to mention the huge portions of beef steaks and the almost free flow wine during our R&R trip in Rockhampton. Gosh, makes me want to go back again. Alright, maybe i'll skip the first part of the stay which is ATEC (something like a mock warfare which we're assessed on) , but the 2nd half of my stay was really really one of the best experiences in my life.
Alright, so army does has it wonderful memories. Maybe the 2 years and 4 months was not a total waste of time. But then again, i would not want to go through it again given the chance lol. So for now 9 ICTs left till ROD. YoohooOO~!!
