signals and brunei pt 2
haven't blogged in a long time, think i've been quite busy, and lazy. and very tired when i get home. nevertheless i shall try to update u guys on my life these past few weeks.
first i went to brunei! and i was so scared it'll be terrible. the first day sucked i got sick eating the medicine to prevent malaria and stuff, and i was so short of sleep. things were a bit rushed. but luckily as signal cadets we didnt get played around as much as the other cadets.
the first few days we tiring and coring alot of thime spent preparing and moving around. we did river crossing in teams of fours, so compass and pacing courses. and on the fourth day we moved out.
it was so fun being out in the jungle. especially since we had a very fun and good instructor who left alot of things to us and wasnt too anal about many things like wearing helmets. this period outfield was a godsend to us tired and sick of the regimental lifestyle. what i didnt miss: marching, 5bx, reville, lights out, falling in etc. we set our own timings and objectives and wrked hard to reach them. and because most of the ppl in out group were fun and cooperative, we didnt have problems doing alot of things. and we had alot of fun sleeping early and waking up late but covering alot of distance in between. and we had alot of fun eating and talking over the fire.
yup and signals is really not bad. i got to use a calculator and formulae. so happy i can do academic stuff. im totally missing it man. and next week i get to go for poly for 4 days, so i only book in on thurs. haha life is good man. and upon returning to camp the food is improving alot. so the standard of living is really increasing. im making more friends and more easily too now. so i have less problems settling in to the course and booking in is not so bad. and its easier to be enthusiastic when you're happier.
and this week my dear brother is coming back with his winnings. can wait to see him and see how he looks now. and what he's like. even though i only haven't seen him in a few weeks.
and im going out soon so to avoid being late i have to go shower now.
i will try to update my blog more often these few days. i must try..
i must...
