Whoa...it's been ages since I last came in here... Pleased to see nothing's changed much..
Yeah..so what have I been doing? Apparently besides the boredom and shagged out feeling..for the life of me..I can't remember much..oh wait...yes yes..who can forget the miserable feeling of being wet and cold and still haven't to carry out missions...coming back to camp ripping off those boots..to get your sense of smell hit full fledge by ....*eergghh!!*...you don't wanna know..then ripping off those socks and...ever seen CSI? where'd they pick up the body after many days of floating downstream...yeah...that's it...white, crinkly skin, white soft toenails..yeah... And O the joys of having to repeat it the following week....

But the other week was pretty cool..we took a chinook to our LZ..upon landing..I asked my DC.."sir, where are we?" and the reply was "we are at the southern most point of singapore"
after some thought..i asked "how far do we have to walk"..."you don't want to know" came the reply...Imagine that...JOYS!!!!

We traversed for a while on a track, then we hit the vegetation..it was pretty ok, until we hit the clearing..I looked up and saw this MOTHER OF A HILL!!!..So remember...we were like 20mins into landing and already I'm head down chin on chest...plod plod plod plod...look up and there she was...in her full glory still...so plodded along....half way there and 3/4 dead...somehow i managed to make it full way up...thought we could take a break...but there was NO ONE in front of me..just somewhere in the distance...JOYS!!!! I had to move after a 5 sec halt....

Well..anyway, after a long long walk..we hit our objective..take down a few MLRS...and here's where I did a stupid mistake that got me in the scopes of officers including the CO...here's my story.

"we moved into our objective..guns blaring..left side and right side...enemy MGs suppressing fire..(now we're all wearing this vest where if we get hit..it beeps) we fired off a LAW...the umpire didn't declare target down, we fired off another and still the same...the blind coot didn't see...so we shifted further up...used our last LAW and again the same..the SAW moved further right to do suppresive fire...we fired back...and the 'MLRS' came to life..btw..those camo nets actually work..i couldn't see the damn thing against the vegetation till the lights came on...
and anyway, we were in doodoo *or so i thought, didn't know there was a block force further down the road* so I told my DS to cover me and then I ran..straight across the field without any cover...shot a guy in a trench..raised my weapon (P90) to the driver to indicate he's dead..but he didn't see me...i ran to the passenger side door to climb up, but the netting was blocking. tried to throw a grenade in, but it was locked..so I ran over to the driver side..opened the door and lobbed in a grenade...and this is where I got declared dead by the umpire..and the words were "now they will write stories about you, sing songs about you and make movies about you, but your DEAD" hahahaha...hilarious.....


ANother one..I got shot in the back..by friendly forces..nono..I wasn't far ahead, mixed into battle with the enemy..nope...i was directly in front of him. and i heard my vest go off.....well..after like 3 weeks..I just want to say... "LESTER, YOUR AN IDIOT!!!!"

Well, this year the season of christmas seems to be alot less jolly than last year..even new year was nothing special..just stayed at home and slept...alot..yeah...nothing worth mentioning
