Heyo..it's been 20 days since I last left anything..sorry about that....
Been too tired and stuff to think of anything to post....
I've been reading another blog whose address I got from a magazine..
I must say, compared to that blog...this is nothing..
the way the writer describes stuff....it's super detailed and it's like your there...must be a mass comm student or something..even the photoshop skills are there...seriously..when I say there..I mean THERE....

Still can't think of anything to write, so reader..just sit there and read on...I should come up with something soon...

Oh yes..here we go..some excitement from my camp...As I sit here and write this...on hari raya...some unfortunate soul is doing guard duty...which would have rightfully been mine...
Here's the story...but please..try and keep along..I have a tendency to jump around..
Ok here goes...
We got nights out on thursday....so out we went and to roam the civilian world.....book in timing was 2230hrs.. So out we went, caught a movie (Elektra) and back to camp.
Some booked in late, but it was over looked...however, what happened next...wasn't
Lights out was at 2330hrs...I was already stoned..so sleeping..HELL YEAH BABY!! Knocked out like a bulb...
The next day...Bing bam boom..news rocked our company..4 clowns snuck out after we went to bed to go to some mambo night or ladies night or something and got busted coming back in....
This guy who was in the group...he was in my boat during my boatman course..he kept talking about how great he was, how he can 'hiong' without getting caught and of how rules were meant to be broken and stuff..it does get irritating after a while....and now...caught with his pants down and strung in front of our csm to be dried....they got handed a pitch...a possibilty with doing a stint at the DB....this guy who talked about how good he was...fainted..haha!!!! 2 guys had to carry him to the medical centre and he got an attend C....I was laughing my ass off when I heard that..sorry...I know I know..but I couldn't help it...I will try my best not to...but I think I am most probably going to fail and I am gonna stir his shit for as long as I see him...

So thanks to these 4 clowns and the unlucky 5th memeber who was a guard and let them in...they are now more or less in camp and confined for the weekends until the near future...

Now....a ghost story...or a tale..or a snippet...or something....just that it's short..

Now, as most of you know, I don't believe in ghosts. But as usual...army camps in singapore are breeding grounds for ghost stories..they all have common casts...an old woman with a young girl. a young girl with long hair, a old man sweeping the area or some guy guarding some place...

So anyway, what I heard from my camp is that.
Snippet 1:
Never sleep with a chair beside your bed...as in hospital style..
Now, in army your bed is either the spring based or wood based kinda double decker frame..for the old beds in my camp at least...not like some of you lucky people with the thick mattresses...
anyway..this unfortunate soul did...and one night he woke up, staring through the springs above...and he saw...NOTHING....but dangling from the edge was this pair of little girls legs swinging back and forth...and the the little girl said in some dialect or mandarin... "Grandma, why this person not asleep yet?" The guy went bug eyed and turned in the wrong direction facing the chair..and guess what? There he saw the 'Grandma'...

I sleep on the top deck...so anything that wants to swing, will have to sit on top on my field pack/helmet on my locker...

Snippet 2:
The commando boat house at the jetty...ok...now imagine a square..on the left side, is a gangway leading down to the pontoon, while on the right, is a stair case heading into the sea...guess which side I am gonna talk on...yes..the right...
Ok...so now, this guard was sitting on th bench facing the sea...pontoon on left, staircase on right.
He looks left, and right and left and right..he's bored..guard duty usually is....I've done that..
So yes...left and bang on the right..he sees this little girl (AGAIN) peeking at him from around the corner of the staircase wall..he FREAKS!! he grabs his rifle and turns right, just to see the little girl face, stuck on the window to his right....he makes a heck of a dash out...

Now the weird thing is..I was just there on tuesday night with my friend keepin a watch on the boats....I walked to the corner alone twice to dispose of ration bar wrapper..I even jumped onto the adjoinin staircase that runs under that staircase....didn't see anything...but then again, I heard the story after I did that...so it again depends yes?


So yes...after 20 long days...these are the 3 things that I have deemed worthy of wasting your time to read...and now...I shall bid thee Good night....and I shall post again soon...hopefully...
