Lame n idiotic: 8th wk in BSLC

「 Eric Lim yawns... Saturday, May 13, 2006 」

Tis wk kept laffin abt MIS n TFM. Staff kept emphasising we r diff frm other plt coz we r the Mentally Insane Soldier livin in Total Fuckin Mayhem. He even started a committee 2 make the shirt. Ha the design ok got our fav leg raise n rifle overhead in high kneel position but heng they used TFM s shortform or else i wont dare 2 wear out the shirt. Indeed, 8 wks of mentally n physically stressed out under staff, i m quite proud of wearin tat shirt liao. Anw tis wk, nt veri enjoyable despite no outfield. Staff super pissed wif us n even striked off the tot of makin the shirt despite he demanded it initially

Mon learnt abt combat life savin. We learnt hw 2 use bandage 2 dress fracture wounds 2 minimise n hw 2 tie tonnie key 2 arrest haemorrhage on victims whose arteries r cut. If somemone realli suffer severe bleedin on thigh near the groin area, we r supposed 2 tie tonnie key tight on the groin area 2 stop blood loss. The medic den says liddat the victims' balls will b gone but his life is more impt than his balls. Ha but some pple wld rather die if they live w/o balls. Tat day quite slack despite havin stand by universe. tat day i oso sian jibua coz my nxt day guard duty is replaced by my fren who misfired durin grand slam. Tis means tat i hav 2 go 4 the 16km rd march. Tat nite oso had sect comm knowledge test which is our final test in tis course.

Tues combat life savin test. Heng i passed the test n will b havin my cert on POP plus CPR cert. Tat day our CSM conducted stand by bed 4 whole coy. I oso dunno y some places a bit dirty csm asks us2 clean onli but our staff said he is utterly disappointed wif us n will confine us on fri. I was like super angry when he said tat. Of all days y muz confine on vesak day s if we no need 2 celebrate liddat. The 16k rd march is quite tedious. Dunno whether we 2 long nvr rd march liao quite a no of pple fell out after juz 4k onli. Tis time rnd in sispec we wld rest 4 a while after every 4k onli nt like bmtc after every 2k will rest 4 a while. In addition, in some part, we r like doin fast march. Fast march realli veri jialat 4 short pple like me. All those tall pple walk 2 steps i m like walkin 4 steps 2 close up. Super sian n taxin 4 me.

Wed we had our 1st ICCT lesson. 1stly we learnt front n back break fall. Heng ar i didnt encounter the worst pain a guy can exp s some of frens who landed hip dwn 1st durin their front break fall. Back break fall is the worst. Neck pain n upper back pain n muz ga ga fall backwards 2 execute it. Lastly learnt abt the 3 basic locks n practice wif my buddy. The lock quite useful s i exp the pain i had when my buddy executed on me. Hweva it is quite hard 2 execute in double quick time. In afternoon, staff said fri confinement is dependent on our area cleanin on thurs n fri mornin. Wah we spent the entire afternoon 2 clean the whole bunk up all the kiwi stains on bed, cupboard n floor wiped until i super tired. Tat nite i was quite disappointed s i was nt involved in the interview wif 1st guards. Sian dunno y they pick those slackers in my plt...

Thurs sect live firing which is quite near 2 ntu. Act he whole course is realli idiot proof n safe. Each bound is act made up wif 4 tires stacked up 2gether n the dist between 1 bound 2 another is 2m n there will b tgt 4 u 2 shoot @ so most prob u wont end up shootin ure fren instead. 2 ensure no cocksters, we had a dry run in which we fired blanks b4 the nite n day shoot. Ha the funny part there is even civilian tgts 4 us nt 2 shoot @ n most of the civilians tgts look like criminals. Our coy dunno y place the peein pt near ntu but blocked by little vegetation onli want 2 make us bcome the 2nd tammy. The probability of shoot @ such tgt is super small s it is located quite far frm the tgt we r supposed 2 shoot @. I tik the live rnd sect live firin is the best simulation 2 a real war. Runnin frm bound 2 bound in front of u wif m16 n SAW firin live rnd is realli an exp. But durin war dun tik i will dare 2 run frm 1 bound 2 another most prob i will leopard crawl instead.

The whole thing ended abt 1am n we rd marched back 2 camp n cleaned our rifle until 3.30am. The most sian thing happened. Despite the nxt day reveille is @ 6am, staff wanted us 2 stand by our SBO n items we brought out 2 b washed n clean durin 4.45am. We went up n washed up n did wad was req. Den i oso dunno y he is still unsatisfied n told us tat confinement on sat is dependent on our area cleanin @ 6.30am. Wif abt 1 hrs 2 go, we no mood 2 slp thus we all go did area cleanin. @ 6am when the coy sgt asked the whole coy 2 heads out, onli our plt responded. Thus he asked the whole coy 2 fall in within 2 min. Tat day i was like super bad mood- bkout nt sure, sat confinement nt sure, no slp, not much time 4 area cleanin n yet got 2 fall in. Bloody hell when our whole plt dwnstairs, some pple frm other plt still took their own sweet time WALKING instead of runnin despite of 2 min given. They got 2 slp while we cannot still can walk. My plt pple some shouted 2 ask them 2 hurry up. Wah when i saw the 2nd person walkin frm the toilet back 2 his bunk, i buay tahan n shouted STILL CAN WALK SOMEMORE. My 2nd wave of vulgarities is almost goin 2 come out if there is no sgt in front.

In the end heng our sgt gave chance 2 us s staff had gone hme. We bked out @ abt 7 plus. Upon reachin hme, went temples wif my family 4 vesak day n visited a medium who blessed our family 4 dunno hw mani yrs. Super sian he spoke in teochew n i dun understand anithing somemore wan 2 slp oso cannot. Tok until halfway after hearin wad the medium said, my parents faster left the place. @ the doorstep, i saw another grp of person n there was a ruggard woman kept cryin n refused 2 go in2 the medium's hse. My parents immediately asked us 2 go dwn by another staircase which left me quite surprised. Den they told me tat the medium just nw said got a person who is possessed will b reachin his hse soon. Upon hearin tat my parents said they better go 1st. Ha who noes we so suay meet them @ the medium's doorstep. Den we went 2 the nearby hawker centre 2 look 4 a zhi ma hu store but ended up walkin the place 4 half an hr b4 findin the store. The zhi ma hu n hua shen hu r the best i ate so far. After tat went hme 2 rest s no 1 wanted 2 go out. Wah i frm 3pm slpt until 4am den woke up new record 4 me liao.

Nxt wk exe nutcracker got 2 dig 1 shell script n a fire trench wif my buddy. Confirm dig until nxt day wan. Plus the staff mayhem thing confirm super tiring. Sian nw i hav been havin cough wif phlagms again 4 1 wks liao. All the lozenges like super lousy no effects @ all. Tik after ex nut cracker den report sick ba n hopefully dun end up goin 4 x-ray again. Muz b in gd condition 4 my POP in 2wks time 2 get my CPL!
