field camp review
I had just returned from the island of Tekong... managed to survive the field camp even i did almost fall sick along the way... i can endure all the food ration... hence food-wise, its still ok for me... there are rations that is pretty nice... like chicken bolognese etc...Day 1, everything was still fine... till Day 2... the weather turned bad and began to rain... And the downpour brought the whole place to muddy & our uniform was wet... including the boots that should have last us for 7 days... In the end? the boots wet and i get foot rot the very next day... the boots never been dry at all... despite changing socks, adding powder etc...
i shouldn't say our camp was tough... in fact all of us know that it was the weather that was tough... i fall sick after the rain and felt feverish that very night... then the next morning have flu... at around last few days... the weather was damn hot... till i get headache and almost collapsed... but i pulled it through... Apart from foot rot... i also get heat rash and other rashes, blue black etc...
Despite all the setbacks, its was rather a memorable experience... the bond within the platoon get tougher... and i became a little more confident as i was picked to lead a song after being 'discovered' by a sergent for having a 'cool' voice... i panicked and screwed the beginning... but he asked me to carry on and i managed to lead the whole damn song... after that, i am more willing to help up in leading even though i always did so lar... *laugh*
