My Blog

Whoa… Long time nv blog already… Hey people… This week was a super duper shack week for me…

1st i book in on a saturday night (2330) and slept in camp at about 0040…

Woke up at 0600 on a sunday morning… then took over COS duty from Kai Gui…

Slept at 0030++ then woke up by a phone call at 0610 on a monday morning… That was when i knocked my chin against the floor bcos i thought someone is looking for me damn urgently (and i became panick)… Yea…

Monday is the 1st day of exercise… slept for about 3 hrs from 8 to 11… then went for some briefing at 1330 b4 going to hangar to prepare some stuffs for the exercise… move off from camp at 2130 in a Civilian bus… Reach exercise area at about 2230 then slack and wasted so much time waiting to go rafting….

slept at ard 0300 hrs for a very short while then woke up to let my men sleep cos i hafta do that… Their health are more impt than mine… So yea… went to the water at 0400+++…. after finishing my job… i went for a nap at ard 0600++ and woke up b4 0700 to take over the role as a pilot… In btw 0700 and 1200… i pilot-ed with Dehua and Remus but most of the time its me… even when i m not piloting… i m also awake especially when De Hua is piloting cos he is still new to the eqiupt… So nv get to rest alot… after that we went for a technical break for like 3 hrs… but i slept for only 1 hr +++ at the training shed cos the damn irritating mozzies makes sleeping difficult for me… then we continued our rafting at 1800++… this time round it was worst… we waited for like 2 hrs and we chat alot (me Dehua and Chun kiat) during the long wait b4 the reservist load their vehicles onto our equipt for us to transport from one point to another… due to the shortage of manpower on my side (i m the only pilot) i haf to pilot the equipt on my side from 1030 all the way till 0400 the next morning alone… Damn shack… after that start to delaunch and go back on land… since it was raining… there is nothing we can do except to slp… However, the mozzies again make sleeping difficult for me… so i didn’t slp again…component training resumed at about 1300+++… Component training was damn fun… had fun piloting with De Hua… we’ve got the chemistry btw us thats why we piloted quite well… HAHA… Nice one la… Ai Zai…

went back to that mozzies infested training shed at 1550++ and were ask to slp for 1hr… But again i only slp for 1/2 hr due to the mozzies… then it was another briefing from 1700… load up tonner at 1800++ and was sent to the main gate at 1920+++ to take our Civilian bus back to camp…. Reach camp at 2015 and started chionging maggie mee… Super duper hungry… cos i didn’t eat alot during the exercise (only 1 packet of uncooked maggie on the 2nd day)… Cos totally no appetite and not enuff slp… Haha…

started washing the equipt at 2300 +++ all the way for 8 long hours until 0700 the next day…

after washing the equipt… went back to bunk with 12 of my plt 2 men (they worked damn hard also) to bathe and rest… during the rest… i didn’t slp again… cos i decided to let them rest and went to the canteen to buy breakfast for them with 1 of the men…. after buying their breakfast… we went back to hangar to continue doing the maintenance for the equipt until about 1540+++… some of the men and me haven had our lunch by that time and we decided to go back bunk 1st to take our money… when we reach bunk… i decided to do wad i did in the morning… but becos some fucker kept giving me task to do… i didn’t had time to do so earlier… after finishing the task i went back to bunk and sit on a chair under the fan…

15 minutes later… i felt nausea… so i went to the toilet immediately and squat in front of the toilet bowl for like 20 minutes… the nausea feeling was there but i didn’t vomit… Misfortune begins here… i stood up and went to the basin with my head resting on my hand on the basin… suddenly my breathing becomes heavier and my body starts to feel numb and weak… so i change position from squatting to sitting and finally i lie down on the floor… That was when my body becomes most numb and most weak + my breathing becomes the heaviest… carn move at all… after some time greg came to the rescue… he called for the medic and our superiors… the medic said that my pulse was slow and my whole body was warm… he suspected that i was down with fatigue… So i was carried down from the toilet (level5) to level 1 by 5 person (the medic, greg, LTA Ng, Eddie and De Silva)… Remus was also there to fan me… cos they said my body was warm… in the end… i was sent to the medical centre by an ambulance… my vein was connected to a saline water bag via a needle… the doctor told me i was down with physical exhaustion… which was wad i expected… thats why i wasn’t even scared when i saw myself in that kind of condition… Haha…
