Toilet Paper?

Had a bad diarrhoea on one of the days when we went outfield.
It was horrible.
There was no toilet paper and I forgot to bring tissue paper.
While I eased myself, there were bugs and flies roaming around me.
When I was done, I looked for alternative toilet paper sources..

Hm..
Leaves?
Wth, no. They're all muddy.

Dropped white tape from previous markings?
Am I sick? How old are those already...

Twigs?
Am I getting desperate? -.-


Then I searched my LBV for anything I could use...
RCK (Rifle Cleaning Kit) Cloth?
Eh.. If I use then I'll be carrying it with me throughout. Eww..

Wash with water from waterbag/bottle?
Eh how the.. I'm not some gymnast.. And it seems gross.


Suddenly I saw the light...
Thank you 2LT Anshul and you being insistent on us bringing WRITING MATERIALS everywhere we go. Now I fully appreciate your intentions. It was meant to be our makeshift toilet paper in times like these (Or at least thats what I used rofl) I tore out all the blank pages and wiped my butt >.<

Sirens everywhere.

"When the whistle blow, sirens everywhere."

Not true for Cougar.
The fire siren rings for nothing. For long periods of time.
We don't get ringing in our ears due to gunshot during live range.
We get them from hearing the spoilt fire siren ring for over an hour.
And it happened twice already.
If somehow a real fire breaks out, we're all dead.
We no longer respond to the fire siren like we are supposed to lol.

My ear still can faintly hear the ringing sound till now... SIAN ARH!

The Giant Blisterified Rat of Tekong

Yes its true.
There exists a giant rat in Tekong.
Its around 1.7m+ in height.
And it happens to be me.

On the first day of book-in, I wiped clean the whole biscuit tin of food I brought in.
By the 3rd day, my section ran out of food. The only survivor (Wei Jie) was forced to ration out around 3 miserable packs of biscuits per day. I was so hungry I had nightmares =\
By the 5th day, my platoon ran out of food.

I had to resort to eating strepsils and stuff like that, not because I was sick or whatever, but because I was too hungry >.<

About blisters.. I hate them so much. SOOOOO much.
Just from SOC I kanna 4 burst blisters. Usually can do swing trainer and pull-ups. With the blisters, I can only cross half the swing trainer before the pain overwhelms me and my pull-ups drop by half or more -.-"

While my blisters are on the way to recovery, I had another SOC and they broke again, then I failed SOC #$%^&*(
