Yesterday midnight finally back home. Has been in Thailand for the past 15 days. Missed home, and now I'm back=D



Wrote down some comments on my ipod touch...(Edited)

Day 1 (010809)
Today is the first day in Thailand. Everything so far is still fine. The weather here is very hot and make me wanna drink water. Bathroom is so much different from those I've been before. Had a parade at the parade square too. Went to the canteen and made a bag tag for myself and 1 for HY. Hax. Looking forward to a wonderful thai massage(never come true).

Day 2 (020809)
Last night slept well. Dreamt of ***. Some kind of dream that is leaving... somewhat like the drama. LOL. Had morning run and a fire drill practice. Overstrained my left knee. Old injury sustained from sispec. Painful. Hope tomorrow will recover. Settle stored all day. Maintained mortar. Moving tomorrow out at 12.30.

Day 3 (030809)
Woke up at 5am went to collect ammo. 12.30pm set off to new camp. KM camp. The trip took 2 hours. After that went to deployment ground which took another 1hour. We bought a lot of drinks. LOL. Had some field cooking. Quite a relaxing day, just that today get to know the bad news. We are going to shoot the new ilum bomb...we haven't try out before worse thing is that we are firing on a light mortar. This makes us the 1st batch of NSF to fire the new ilum.

Day 4 (040809)
Last night never sleep well. Hammock wasn't that nice to sleep in. Maybe I'm just not used to it. Maybe I tied it too low. Fired the new illum for the first time. Luckily everything turned out fine. Just that there's this f*** up encik from WTW around. Gave some very dumb comments and act like he know what's going on but apparently he got his facts all wrong. Damn irritating. Everyone can't wait for him to leave. Now I can declare that I've fired almost all 3 platform. Tonight sleeping alone, the 4 cadets including YZ have to do sentry for the night. This time tied the hammock well, hope will have a good night sleep... Wanna tell *** good night.

Day 5 (050809)
Today not firing. Morning maintained mortar, then slack:) Had lots and lots of food today. Dinner had SFI food and sunit(RTA laision) gave us a packet of his food, Char siew rice, a bbq catfish that he caught and a big kunning. After dinner he gave us another catfish and a packet of tom yum soup, a pack of chicken and 4 packets of rice. We gave him fruits and he gave us so much food. The food was great. An enjoyable day. ><

to be continued...

Day 6 (060809)
Today had a very short firing cause there's some screw ups with the other factors. Waited until wanna sleep. Had an unforgetable bathing experience ever. After firing about 11, we went to bathe at the "car water"(water truck). The wind is super cold. Freezing. Shivered like hell. Hax. Was fun though. lol. So wanna text JH a happy birthday tomorrow.


Day 7 (070809)
Whole day never really done anything much. Slacked whole day. At night the rest of the people went back to camp to rest and wash up but my friends and I didn't. Going back is very troublesome. The whole place is very empty and deserted after they left. Had a very fun and meaningful chat with or RTA laision and another RTA. Very enjoyable just that we are kinda sleepy le. smsed JH, hope she received my birthday greeting.


Day 8 (080809)
Had a freezing night. Rained heavily. Feets were cold. Glad my ipod got recharged. thanks to KW at the OP. Now got music. Afternoon nothing to do again, the drink lorry came with the uncle and his daughter in it. His little daughter made us all a friendship band each. So I took the lightstick strings and made them a band each too. Hax. Like cultural exchange. Night time, sunit caught a firefly. observed the bug up close. 1st time.


Day 9 (090809)
Last night smsed JH the happy birthday wish. She said was kinda bad. Hope today she'll be happy. Now raining again. Today fired a lot of bombs. Had shower in the dark. Then kana scratched by thorns. It hooked onto my skin. damn pain. texted mum and shu(never receive).
