「 Eric Lim yawns... Friday, February 09, 2007 」

Wah juz came back frm 5 days of outfield. Long time nvr go such a long outfield liao. Such long outfield was durin my bmtc period ba. Tired but enjoyable wif a lot of funny things happen. Ha tat 5 days i nvr bathe n i nvr change my coverall plus underwear. I onli got wipe my face wif wet tissue plus powder bathe on 1 of the days. 2 make it worse, every mornin got 2 put new camo cream on my already dirty face. Imagine the layer of camo cream stock up on my face. My face gone liao lar. Haha. Disgustin rite? Bobian i m a soldier. Haha.

5 days of outfield= mosquitoes bites + alvin help my tank cross river + sight seeing + eatin canned food + getting chased by attack helicopters + little slp + master the art of stand n slp + choppin alot of trees dwn + crew bonding

Wah tis 5 days the mosquitoes keep swarmin me. Nw i tik i got more than 50 bites all over my body... Super itchy. Durin tis 5 days i alreadi derived the schedule of mosquitoes strike. They will apear durin 6-9am den take a break. Abt 4pm onwards until 5am the attack will commence non-stop.

Durin tis 5 days on the tank i realli went sightseein. Cross quite a number of reservoirs n c alot of diff animals n insects. The views r veri nice. Nvr hav expected such places still exist in Singapore but such places r nt open 2 members frm the public 2 visit. Ha too bad rite...

Durin the 1st day of my mission i saw some1 i noe veri long. Ha it was sir alvin carryin a m16 holdin a clipboard walkin 2wards my tank. Ha he still recognised me wif my face covered wif camo cream. While waitin 4 the raft 2 cross river, he tok cock wif me. Alreadi 1 mth nvr c my class guys liao. Pai sei. Soon the raft came n he guided my veh up 2 raft n byebye. C u in chi new yr ba.

Nw i realli hate seein Apache attack helicopter. They like keep hauntin me thru out my 5 days. Sometimes i even mixed up the sound of my engine runnin wif the hoverin sound of the apache. Wif their speed, maneuvre ability n firepwr n the limitation of my tank 2 engage air tgts, i m completely vulnearable 2 apache. Everytime c them or hear them i got 2 drive in2 vegetation n hide 2 avoid detection. It was my 1st time exp seein an Apache flyin close 2 me on 1 of the days. 2 bad jm nt involved in the exe or else can ask him help me shoot dwn the apache. Haha.

My slpin hrs durin the 5 day i tik is less than 24hrs. The worse thing i dun hav the comfort of sitin dwn n slp. S a tank commander i got 2 stand thru out the move n there is no seat 4 me 2 sit. Ha heng i small size @ least sometimes still can c on the plate i standin 2 slp. But i almost every nite got 2 man the comms sys in case of sudden enemy infilration. Sometime i got 2 do sentry which i means i got 2 xpose myself confirm got 2 stand. Tat's y i mastered the art of standin n slpin. Act is nt master is u 2 tired no matter wad position u will juz doze off. Haha. Den i realise when u stand n slp rite until a certain ure left or right leg will sudden give way. Got 1 nite worse both legs gave way n i fell 2 the bottom of the turret. Heng nvr injured myself.

Tis 5 days oso enable me 2 bond wif my driver n gunner more. We brought along alot of canned food n put on the tank 2 eat n shared wif 1 another. Ha we ate spiced pork cube, vegetarian canned abalone, gui ling gao, tuna, jelly, bread. Ha they even offered 2 cook me cup noodles. Got time we will tok cock abt our sch, our family n our frens. Everyday we got 2 take parang go chop dwn trees 2 camouflage our tank such tat it blend well in2 the vegetation. Feel bad choppin so many tree durin tis 5 days. They oso got lives wan but i bobian or else the apache will easily detect me.

2 wrapped up the 5 days of outfield, we got a bbq celebration last nite. We ate n drank. The food was veri nice. 2wards the end the men started splashin beer or water @ every1. Bloody hell my men started 2 catch mz, me n cs 2 splash water. Mingze the best. Normally pple catch n want 2 splash water pple will shout oei my hp. But 4 him, he shouted oei my notebook. Hahaha.

Outfield- goin thru it can b tough but lookin back @ it it is juz another enjoyable outfield. Tis time i sort of suit myself 2 outfield can slp less n eat less n noes wad 2 do when situation arises. Lion company - Firm n Fiery. 42 SAR- The Cuttin Edge.
