haha. finally, i am back from taiwan. It was a long trip. Well, i wanted to write any diary of my overseas trip, juz like wat i did when i went to brunei. However, this time rd, i cant rmember the daily happenings as well as when i was in brunei. Maybe i am less motivated and enthu now. However, this taiwan trip is a lot relax than in brunei. The living conditions are so much better. Finally, we lived in a bunk. Nt a chicken Coo. Hm... lets see... I shall elaborate abt this taiwan atec trip.
Well... this atec trip was a whole new experience. i've got to experience a lot of things. Like fighting mission in the cold. when i say cold, its 4-10 degrees in the nite. everyone's freezing. Me and my platoon mates were shivering during a pre-atec mission. We were made to wait for one hr in that mission on e top of 'Shiling fuo Shan'. Me and 2 other guys were shivering like hell. The wind was so cold. And we only wore a t-shirt and no.4. Furthermore, our sweat makes us colder when the cold wind blows. Anyway, there aint much sweat, cos itz too cold! And oso, this taiwan trip, i need to adapt to the ever-changing temperature. Cos when there's no cold front, the weather can be pretty hot. And when the cold-front comes, we wld be freezing. Hm... and oso, the mountain at taiwan kills. Its all very high. And itz up-slope and more up-slopes. But luckily, there aint much bashing. I must say that the people there are very respectful of soldiers. They will always say, 'xin ku le' whenever they see u. Children will run ard and shouting, 'ah bing ge! ah bing ge!' haha These are the scenes that keeps u motivated and move on. When u noe tat wat u did are appreciated, u will move on. Nt like singapore, they dun give a fuck. Or rather, they will give stupid comments. Well, taiwanese gals were said to be very chio.. But thats nt really the case la. On tv, those la mei are really very chio. but on the streets, all looked very normal. And i realised something. Taiwanese goes for tall guys. SO SHORTIES! STAY AWAY FROM TAIWAN. Wahhaa. Well, the things at taiwan aint that cheap. For branded goods, its more expensive that singapore. But there are really lotsa things to eat. And lotsa fun things to play. Hwever, kao shiung is a boring place. Very boring! I realised that taiwanese, their pace of their lives are quite slow. they open their shop whenveer they want. do things very slowly. Lolz. okie so much abt taiwan. Now, i shall talk abt atec
Atec 2005
Well, so much was said of commandos. So much was expected from commandos. So much was heard from commandos. We went to taiwan vigilantly. Enemies were curious to see hw we fight after they heard so much from our last atec. But in the end, we turn out to be a flop. A huge flop. Atec enemies laughed at us. I am disappionted and angry. Cos i dunno wat is happening with us. our guys didnt seem motivated at all. They seem like kids holding a rifle during missions. They didnt noe wat to do. They werent aggresive. All the talks of getting recon 1 at taiwan... None came true. The most disappointing of all were SRT. They were a flop. SRT used to be a premium force. Cos they cant afford to get caught. If they do, our routes to the objective wld be known. In the past, if SRT get caught, berets wld be revoked. More if lenient, they wld at least get 7 extras. This yr, the whole jim bang were caught while they were sleeping. So wat shld be given to them? they caused so much of the comany's mission to miss the H-hr cos they cant link up with the companies. they didnt do their job. But in the end, we got a recon 2A. i didnt noe how we do it. but we got it. Maybe special thanks must be give to 3rd coy (most junior ops company) who got recon 1 in their 2 missions. Congrats to them for getting best ops company. For me, i am disappointed to miss out the last mission. cos can take pic with beret on. wahha.
My birthday.
Okie, i spent my 21st bday at taiwan. i wanted to juz go on with it quietly. Well, i was disappointed to have bday at taiwan. somemore, my 21st. cos i cant really celebrate with my close frenz. Nevertheless, my bday was still exposed. By HQcsm. And at 25th, the nite of we have our end of frame dinner, i was made to go up the stage to sing with a lady in front of the battalion. fwah so pai sae!. but hack it. the rest seemed invinsible to me. Lolz. Come back to sg, oso nt more mood to celebrate le. so juz forget it lo.
Its good to be back in Sg again. i missed everything here while i was in taiwan. maybe, they call it homesick.
