never in my life have i felt this good to be home, to be sleeping on my own bed rather than a bed that has only a thin layer of sponge resting on a metal board. and the best part - it has been slept by countless of people.
who knows maybe the previous guys have hair lice?
or perhaps even dandruff? or maybe even he is suffering from hair loss?
....
ok no sense.. anyway was pondering whether i should talk a bit about my life in Thailand.
*pondering
*pondering
*pondering
*pondering
well i am still pondering. the reason why i am considering whether to say a not is cause that would make my entry today very lengthy which i don feel like it. the reason why i dont feel like it cause i got no mood to make this entry a lengthy one or a loh-soh one.
thats why even as i am typing, i am considering whether should i write about the life in Thailand. the reason why i am considering whether to say a not is cause that would make my entry today very lengthy which i don feel like it. the reason why i dont feel like it cause i got no mood to make this entry a lengthy one or a loh-soh one.
ok i decided that perhaps, maybe, possibly got a slight chance that i shall maybe share with ya a bit on the life there.
life there is very simple..
yeah, very simple..
the first day we arrive, i was shocked. we nvr arrived in an airport, rather it was a open piece of land where we just land and the air stewardess was like "Nah, the door is open, u can fuck off the plane now"
ok i was kidding, they were very polite. anyway the landing spot was barren and soon enough, we saw buses which took us to our training camp.
once i open my eyes after a some-what 2 hours ride, i was not shocked, but more of a 95% i wan go back Singapore feeling.
my Coy was allocated this 2 storey building where the 2nd floor is able to accomdate 100 over person while the 1st floor comprises of a 36 men bunk, empty room(we used it as an office), and a small open space which we use as smoking point and fall-in area.
showering area was quite shocking i must say. it is like having 2 mini swimming pools where u scoop ur water from and bathe.
anyway lets jump time a bit.
training soon started for us. and as ya know, being a i-drive-a-puny-boat commander, i was constantly checking and making sure that no water was going in my boat. as sure as it was told, it was more difficult to drive my puny boat in thailand compared to singapore due to the water current.
but nonetheless, when you are one who is physically equipped with fucking-the-not-bad water driving skills, you would find little problem in getting use to it.
one fine day, when i was as usual drying my laundry, i, NRIC 8328863I, 3SG HONG ZIQIANG, declare that i have nothing, just an underwear with shorts and a plain-no-protection slippers in my possesion, accidentally kicked an iron picket that was half dug into the ground.
i heard a PANG~
and a twinge of pain in my left toe..
i tout i was all right, i was wrong. so so wrong. my toe nail came out. soon after it was totally extracted out by the medical officer over there.
from then on begin the life of Ah Hong & his adventures staying in bunk while evryone is out training.
i read more books than i ever read in my whole life during the 2 weeks plus of recuperating. that was when i found out that the books by Haruki Murakami was so good. Donald Trump book was ok ok only compared to another book that teaches you how to get rich.
days and days went past == >
and finally it was time for the final exercise. and i was glad i made it in time for it. i wouldnt wana go back Singapore and tell people.
"Hey what did you do in Thailand?"
"I was sleeping in bunk most of the time"
it was a 4 days exercise. quite a large scale one considering the 1000 plus people who are involved.
Ah Ha~!
and finally evrything was over before you knew it.
and soon enough before you knew it was 23rd Sept. and in case some of ya is still wondering whats so special about 23rd Sept, its just another day amongst the 365 days.
its the birthday of the person whose blog you are reading now.
celebrated my birthday over there..
tick tock tick tock~
and soon i was on my way back home, back to singapore on 25th Sept.
now i have reached home, evrythin i buy i unconsciously convert to thai baht first.
wah laoz.. so expensive loh things in Singapore, how to buy you tell me?
