In about 24hours time i will be on the plane to taiwan. its not just another trip overseas where i can relax and play but this is a unique one. i will be holding weapon in taiwan and the challenging terrain awaits me for our exercise longstride. we have to navigate our way towards the checkpoints and logpoints inbetween to reach our final objective. we will be despatch in a grp of 4s and uncontrolled navigation for 3d2n.
i still cant believe that im going for taiwan for training till now. as far as i noe, many of my mates aren't looking forward to it. what about me then? i too dun want to go there for training. this is the last training before i get my three stripes. the briefing just made me even more demoralised. i tot they would motivate us but it was otherwise.
the numbers are out. 136 from two company are going to units like 1,5 and 6 SIR. as i said there will be less intake for tekong specs. currently im not so bothered to where im going to be posted to. i cant do much nothing about the posting so im just leaving my posting to fate.
yesterday nite was a hell of a nite for us. the four of us didnt slp till it was about 3am. we talked about ghost stories and even tried making ourselves subconscious. during that state, our brain were shut-off from oxygen and we had no control of our body movement. at first i was freaked out when my friend first tried it. he mumbled something and then collapsed. the three of us had to hold him till he was back on again. but during the 3-5 secs when he was subconscious, he dreamt that he was back in his secondary sch and there were a song. my take on this is that when ur subconscious, u will dream of ur past and those were the moments that are significant to you. from the moment he was back on, he kinda stoned awhile. it was funny after seeing one by one having different reactions. when it reached my turn, my friends told me that i was staring directly at one of them but actually i had entered into the subconscious state. i forgot completely what i dreamt or wat but i remembered when i was back, i also stoned. i was figuring who were the three figures that stood infront of me. then i realised it was my friends. took me sometime to register that somehow. hmm. something to think about now....
i guess im leaving for taiwan with a sinking feeling. for this i felt so strong.
im leaving on a jetplane. be back on 20th may. bon voyage.
