tHAILANd


finally got time to carry on my last post which stop at the thailand adventures! My battalion went to thailand for one whole month. Sianz..... probably because most of the time spent there are training. Of course there are times when we could rest - CANTEEN!!! Thats the only place of relaxation for us in camp. The canteen there is like a row of shop houses, consisiting of 1 laundry shop, 4 food stalls with 2 'trannys', 1 mini mart, 2 drink stalls, 2 lan shops and 4 gift shops with 2 kawaii thai girls. Seems like a fun place to be in.... but after awhile its like we're doing the same stuff over and over again... haiz... what can we do, there nothing else to do... Then, theres the out field training which is unbearable.

Training wise i think its acceptable, but its the scourching sun thats making us restless for days and days. But, we survived, not only the training but the ATEC final evaluation as well. Proud of our platoon, proud to be part of it.

We had a mega happy hour dinner in camp during our ending phase of training. My platoon not only have fun there, we totally went wild and trashed the place. Broken bottles everywhere, alot of people were soaked with pepsi coke etc... All these thanks to our dear dennis for being drunk. Even chen chen, the most calm specialist in our platoon went freaking wild and dance non stop. He still insist that he is not drunk after the event ended. Hahaha... the truth is, he is totally drunk! After all the fun times and hard times we've gone through, everything is coming to an end.
Next is the Recreation and Relaxation period of our trip. We went for afew of the tourism spot of thailand and bought afew stuff. During the journey from place to place, the whole bus of singaporean listened to thai techno music and started moving with its rhythm, some even sing the thai lyrics... duhh.... there was a funny atmosphere as no one understand what the lyrics really meant anyway. It was a reasonably fun trip throughout. Lastly, i must recommend the mango rice, pattayh and mango freeze. For those that are going to thailand in the future, you all must go and try. Next is Bon Voyage, back to singapore.
