I'm back!! And seriously but wierdly, i'm starting to enjoy life in sispec despite my company being the strictest and the most 'xiong'. I guess i've learnt to adapt to sispec life fully and like wad zixu said, becoming 'corrupted' hahahaha..It's relly wierd, i relly learnt alot alot of things in mi 3 weeks in sispec and i have tests like once every few days! On signals, weapons, navigation etc..and we juz had 2 navigation exercises on wed and thurs called gypsy 1 and gypsy 2 respectively.

The difference is that ofor gypsy 1, our instructors will guide us around the forests in tekong. Oh by the way, our navigation exercise is throughout tekong and we have to look for checkpoints at specific gridpoints on the map. And these points are marked by a small medal board placed on a tree and it's real small and we have to locate these points within the forests. I din relly learn much in gypsy 1 since mi instructor was juz bringing us around and teaching us to find the checkpoints.

But on gypsy 2, we were split into groups of 4 and we had to navigate around wif juz compass map and the mgr of the points. And if we were caught walking on the tracks instead of bashing thru the forest, we would be taken back to the start point. So mi detail, we basically heck everything and decided to bash through the thick foliages. And tekong jungle is no joke, full of fallen trees, hornets nests, ants nests etcetc...all the branches and undergrowth intertwining..and i was the first navigator of mi group..

Before we even walked 20m, i almost rammed into a huge spider resting in the middle of its web and i was so freaked out that i shrieked, jumped back super far and grabbed mi buddy all in a split second until mi whole group was in shock...hahaha damn farni man..i hate spiders...then another time i saw another huge spider tt is red and black lar! damn damn scary i almost had heart attack man..but well after a few hours of bashing, we found our checkpoint and i was ecstatic man! haha it feels damn good..

Then we headed for the night start point and again we had to bash through super high lalang and grass to find out checkpoints. And again, it was pinned on a tree and the surroundings are all trees! Spent more time combing the area than walking to the actual point itself..And after tt we walked back to sispec and in total, we walked about 16km tt day man..and since each group had a huge signal set to carry to contact hq in case of emergencies etc, i often hear calls of distress of groups being lost in the jungle man...haha and they kept calling and calling again and again...quite farni lar..because there were 3 groups huddled together, lost in the forest...

Yup and todae i had signal test and the sets are relly quite fun to play wif, the codes and everything man..hope i can be a signal specialist!! so fun!! anywae i juz booked out and chionged to cine to catch the fantastic 4 wif zixu it was quite a nice show..and i relly like von doom's powers man...well go watch tt show it's great. And tml and sunday i'll be free! hahaha so if u all wanna ask mi out..better ask now!
