I love my life because my life is real

Outfield was a wake up call. We stayed in an area called Unum. It much of a forested area, The disadvantage of it is that it soil is muddy but the tree which is dense help to cover us from sunlight so it not that heaty. Btw Tekong temperature is about 2 degree Celsius higher then S'pore. At night, don't say I think it 5 degree Celsius lower then S'pore. Damn freaking cold man. Plus, there no mosquito hahaha. Anyhoo Unum located at the northern part of Tekong and the stories goes, that area use to be a place of malay villages and not to forget all the black magic, bomoh dukun and all were from that area. Anyhoo we didn't encounter anything just that a company mate stumble upon a tombstone and while we were training in the forest we came across a vast which contain urn in it.

Apart from that the highlight of the outfield.

25-31 August
Mon-Fri 5 days 4 night at Unum

Doing BAC - which we have a race. We have to baby crawl, back crawl, leopard crawl n back crawl again. All in a muddy field. And the fastest platoon get to....drink a ice cold water!!! What the hell...
Wild boar enter our area and begin roaming for food. Actually it look more like a pig then a wild boar but damn it was really big and I mean really big and fat. I think the meat can feed the whole platoon of a total strength of 40+
Digging shellscrap(I think that how it spell hehe) and fire tranch - I dig the shellscrap which is kinda shape of a grave just that it knee length deep for 4 hrs. From 12pm till 4 pm. It was damn tiring with many of us suffering from heat rash. Till night time our section haven't even start digging the fire tranch.

Friday

On Friday we went to FIBUA village which was located at southern part of Tekong. Over there we learn about Urban Ops. Think playing the CS is easy, try doing it real time hahaha but have fun there. That evening aroud 6pm we went for a tactical march towards San Yong Kong. I still can't forget the scenic view of the Dogra Bridge. Which have a story of WW2 behind it and a river just below the bridge. We were able to see the sunset which really amaze me. I had never seen a sunset which is so beautiful before not even from the mainland. San Yong Kong, a reclaim land which made up of rubbish. I mean deep in the soil that is. We were happy because that night we able to shower, sleep in a stretcher like bed and sleep comfortably.(It was damn cold really damn cold).

Saturday

We went for our Grenade throwing, it was fun and interesting. Then back to FIBUA village where we learn more of the urban ops. Btw the FIBUA village consist a couple of shop house which is empty. So that night we were to sleep in one of the house. I and Guna we slept at the entrance of the house and we were able to see the stars. It really beautiful, my sergant says we can't see so much stars anywhere back in mainland and guess it true.
