Finally..this 3 week trg is OVER!!!
dere are alot of things learnt from this trip but it also left me with a deep scar in my mind, an incident that i will nvr forget for the rest of my life.
Suffered quite a serious physical exhaustion during one of the trgs.
due to lack of slp, freaking hot weather(temp can go up to 36degree celsius), close plus undulating terrain, and heavy combat load, I collapse while going back to the camp.
I told my sgt, who is also my good buddy since bmt, that I felt very giddy but I thought I could still carry on. He told me to stop but i nvr listen to him, until a point of time when he say that i'm not walking the normal way, he pulled my bag and insisted that i shld take a rest.
so, i tried to squat down but was a super wrong choice, coz all of a sudden, the blood just rushed up to my brain, and i just fell on my pack, went into semi-consciousness. Couldn't recall clearly wad happen after that, but they told me they IV-ed me, but i felt nth, really nth, no pain, just felt that my chest is too tight for me to breathe normally, was having a difficult time staying awake coz my eyelid just felt too heavy and everything just went too blur..
they claim that they kept shouting my name, but at dat pt of time, i couldn't absorb anything so they keep shaking me to keep me awake..
'see god' sia, really...for the first time i cried in the outfield, coz i thought i wun be able to go home alr, luckily my buddies used all sort of ways to keep me alive and awake, and it was only then i started to miss home, my mum, my family and my closest friends...
It is only when one had a close shave with death that he truly noes how impt are those around him, and i'm really really happy that when i came online, my good friend just popped up to talk to me, it was really the right time. thanks!
saw a couple of familiar faces both at the airport and at the camp, coz the OCS ppl just finished their frame ma, and they had to take our plane back to spore, so saw some bmt buddies dere plus ERIC WONG, haha..no offence man..den saw jj before we left spore coz the AF pilots and some crew oso had their trg at the same camp with us, but theirs only 10 days!! grrr...so on the day they left, we were damn supe jealous sia..but at least we know that we're halfway thru the trip.
R&R was generally ok, other than the scorching weather which makes an air-con bus no diff from that of a non air-con one..coz we still perspire even though the air con is at its full power...so can imagine how hot the weather dere sia..
i tink wad's best abt the R&R is the buffet lunch and dinner, esp the dinner, woooo...FANTASTIC man...
touched down early this morn, went to DFS to buy a liquor before proceeding home, den went out with mum the whole afternoon, damn super tired now...
