My frenx was sick.. His name is Liam Kai Zheng...
He died 9 hours later in Changi General Hospital...
He was only 19 years old this year..
Scored 2 As for his A Level...
POC in 3 weeks time...
Why??
Wad i can recall is on that thurs nite...
We were heading to the Tekong jetty around 945pm after cleaning our rifle from the field camp..
Carrying our heavy duffel bags on our back... walking in fast pace...
Den after we reached the jetty... i realised tt Liam was not feeling well...
He was walking left and right... so i asked him to put down his duffel bag n drag...
When we were about to get down from the ferry to Changi Terminal...
He was not feeling well... he was breathless... i asked my frenx to give him water...
while another mate called his family for help...
I was so helpless and guilty.. i cant help anything... he is no longer around...
He was so... so cheerful... a smile on his face always... helpful to everyone...
Mon.... 25 May 09..
Went down to his wake in Eunos... around 8plus at night...
I was feeling so down... i nv saw his parents on tt day.. only his elderest bro...
Give him offerings... and see him for his last time.. sob...
His bro told us... he was rushing back for his mom birthday on tt day...
i broke down... and also... he is a nice guy... help penpal.. someone who he dont even noe...

yOyo...
Finally i am back from the miserable, dirty field camp in Tekong rocky hill...
suffered heat rashes during the 3rd day, knees bruises there...
the experience there was sucky.. but reflects true friendship over there...
Day 1...Took the tonner there from my company.. while my platoon mates march 6km there...
carried their heavy field packs load up to the tonner... reached there around 8plus...
waited for them to march here...
Started to set up our tent around 11plus i supposed... it was so difficult to set up one!
as my buddy is also a fuck up recoursee... useless... complaints.. ask me do only...
always take mc... noes how to tok donno how to do.. of cos i scold him back...
super chao keng fellow!!
However, damn suey... it started to rain heavily after half an hours later...
we were all wet even with our cortex jacket on... ground sheets were muddy n sandy..
have to dig out drainage hole deep.... around the borders of our tent...
Alot of Scoldings.. prune on the muddy dirty ground... lessons on fire movements drill
and cover camou in the bushes to spot enemies... boring...
Rations lunch n dinner... had powder bath in the public... naked... totally in the dark jungle..
den went to sleep around 8plus.. totally dark.. cant see anything.. cant sleep so hard ground.. smelly and wet...
Day 2...Had movement drill and cover... quite fun for the cover to spot enemies...
but the fire movement drill sux totally.. we had to fire blank attachment in our rifles...
for ur info... we had to carry vest, helmet, rifle with uniform, boots everywhere we go...
damn heavy...the fire shots were so loud...without wearing ear plugs.. and had to listen to commands to move during the drill...
the stupid sergeant keep asking us to repeat... say we nv shout loud etc.. purposely wan tegang us... fuck up... tt when i hurt my knees...
damn had our fresh ration... coook maggi mee... =)
