went for grand slam on tuesday...is like a summary field camp. starting with navigation on the first day. i was leading...the first two checkpoints i damn zai k. find damn easily. then after that navigate until hor lan already =.=' then i experienced the worst hour in my 19 years when i stepped into the mangrove swamps of tekong =.=
started in trying to avoiding the muddy water, then kanna stung by hornets. kao. damn pain lor. then was carrying signal set. damn heavy lor. but as i was pulled in deeper and deeper into the swamp to get away from the hornets, panic started to increase as the water lvl gets higher and higher, and even after half an hour of bashing thru the swamp it seems hopeless, endless and a helpless cause. even the pain from my 3 stings and the fatigue on my shoulders from carrying signal set dissipated as we only want to get out get out get out get the eff out of there. its really hard to describe how effed up it was, especially when u fall down and the water submerges up to ur chest. i dun even want to think about it already la. cant describe how good it felt to be out from there too. after that went to medical centre for hornet sting medication that i didnt even take. at least there was no reaction and the pain disappeared after the night.
the second day was just really tiring with all the running around and bashing thru forests doing drills. then the third day was grand slack. whole day did almost nothing but sit around eating stuff and chatting haha. but the final night was crapped up. just slept in the middle of some bush by a tree, sleeping on the forest floor just like that, then feets also cant stretch out properly cause or else ull stick ur legs into some vines lol. oh well. just glad its over.
today's interview was ok bah. somewhat more nervous then i felt as i was quite confident but my voice came out like crap seriously.
and monday is my sis's bdae. wonder wat to get her. maybe nothing. since she already gotten so many presents. and im busy. wahahaha...
