the sun, the sea, and the mosquitoes

so me finally moved out for exercise in the later part of morning. my 4-men signal team was sent to some ulu (remote) place in the western part of singapore. there got nothing one: no toilet, no shower, no canteen, nothing except for 1 pathetic looking training shed.

the only nice thing about the place was the scenary la. living in urban singapore, where to find such scenary le?

gotta see sunset somemore...

but then hor, being so close to nature also got problem la. the problem was none other than M for mosquitoes lo!! wahlau think they saw us they very happy; got xiao gias stupid enough to camp there overnight. we probably looked to them like sacrificial lambs like that, sibeh chams...

they came in waves one, dunno how many squadrons, whole night raiding us. actually we also knew sure got a lot of mosquitoes one, so got bring mosquito coil and insect repellant. day time we lit up 2 coils and applied the repellant on those exposed parts of our bodies. wah come night time hor, 2 coils not enough, we lit up another 2, then another 2. in the end i also lost count how many we lit altogether. haha!

then hor, the raiders also sibeh gilat. must be commando trained one. the exposed parts got repellant, so they siam, did a flanking maneuver and attack through my uniform!! at the same time another 2 squads went buzzing around your ears and basically drove me nuts... wah lau whole night couldnt sleep...

hengz it was only a 2-day 1-night exercise, somemore exercise cut very early else i dunno how much blood i would donate there...
