A Life Experience ♥ 9:22 PM
Its been 4 months since i blogged. I almost forgot i own a blog. Things had been keeping me busy throughout this 4 months, Now i can finally find peace =)
On september, we headed to taiwan for training. It was morning when we touched down taiwan. The place is splendid. Its totally different from singapore and its unique in its own way. The only thing is that its really warm and its around 34 degree celcius...
We took a mini coach to our camp in taiwan and most of my friends are sleeping. I couldnt sleep, Just couldnt hide my excitment and anxiety as the bus went on...
We reach Our Camp around 4am... It was totally different from the camp i lived in singapore. I should have treasure my days in camp in singapore more ha ha... Its like so cramped up but the good thing about it is the air is fresh and i could see plantations around us. We went to take our breakfast and each one of us had a chicken burger and 1 soya bean. Its delicious! Its better then ramly and burgerking!!!
We settle in our bunk and its like argggh, very cramp and hot. We recce our bunk and find several amulets at the windows. It send a chill down our spines. Things are very different. Each one of us can only bath once in a day because water is being controlled. When throwing our rubbish and also had to throw at respective bins like bins for plastic, can genernal waste etc...But the best part is the Time when the "Ninja Van" came down to our camp. Ninja Van is a Van full with Snacks,Drinks and all the nice local stuffs. My favourite is the Xiang Ji Pa(Fragrance chicken cultet) and Zhen zhu nai cha(Pearl Tea)!!!
We collected our uniforms and it was like prety huge for us. Its colour and style is quite different to what we wore in singapore, But it certainly make us more GaRaNG(PoweR)...
The Training in taiwan is really tough. We had to endure the harsh conditions of the combination of the terrain and the weather. The temperature was reaching 36degree celcius! We had to go out the hill to clear our objectives. It would be a mountain if it was present in singapore.
During a part of training i suffered heat exhaustion. My head hurts and there's a giddy sensation.
I was dripped 4 times on my arm and i was extremly painful. The needle just would not totally go in my arm. I losted some blood as a result but thanks to my platoon medic, who kept letting me squeeze his hand ha ha...
After 12 days of training in the field, it finally ended... My conclusion?
I would never do it again....
But i'll remember it forever.....
