wanted to blog some stuff on fri, when i came home for abt 2 hrs... but a lack of time prevented it, and de den strong sense of anger and pissed off-ness is lessened by now...
let's recap de last 2 days...
tot fri would be a rather slack day, apart from the 10km run in de morning... and it turned out not to be... de 10km run was..... simply tiring... de longest ever distance i haf ever run b4... after that juz came all de unreasonable stuff... ever been hauled from de toilet, halfway showering? well, that didnt happen to me, coz i juz entered de toilet, but it happened to a couple of my other bunkmates... all these becoz of some stupid misunderstanding and miscommunications...
many people do read b4 abt the caste system that happens in many countries, abt how de lowest class people suffer... well i do haf de feeling of de lowest class people liao... simply made me rmb the phrase we always hear during national day celebrations in school... "we haf no right, we haf no say"
now to de navex ytd... first ever navex for me, and initially i juz tot 'well, how difficult could it be? we already got all de locations plotted right on de map, so as long as we read de compass correctly we can finish it fast'... boy, how wrong i was.... although we did follow de tip that de officer gave, which is to take note of both direction and distance we haf taken, we still got lost for de first 2 checkpts... and bashing is no joke... for de 2nd checkpt, which is on top of a hill, we juz took a route up de hill, a route where no one seems to haf taken b4, ie no one has bashed thru de vegetation on that route b4... and so, we simply juz bashed and whacked our way thru, and de vegetation is damn thick and there are a lot of plants that haf thorns, thus scratching our hands and clothing... after we finally reached that checkpt, we realised there's a gd path down, which means de ones who planted this checkpt took this trail up and down the hill... we felt so dumb that we didnt take this route up, coz it's a real clear path, w/o much obstructions... finally to end off, we had a stroke of luck, and i shall not elaborate too much on this, in case some uninvited people came along and see... let's juz say we are lucky enough to get out of the forest b4 de rain started... i was simply juz glad that we didnt get trapped in de rain in the forest, and felt quite sorry for those trapped inside, as they were all drenched... talking abt drenched, we oso had to cross a couple of streams during de exercise... and de first one we crossed is rather deep, which came up to boot depth... and so my boots were flooded as a result and so my feet remained wet for de 9 plus hrs which i didnt take out my boots, which felt rather disgusting... also all the walking in de forest rocky trail created a big blister on my right foot...
all in all, de last 2 days haf been like a rollercoaster ride... total anger in fri daytime due to being misunderstood and being looked down, den lessening of anger in fri nitetime, den a mixture of tiredness, helplessness and finally gladness during navex, and finally joy during book-out time...
PS: kinda messy post here... unable to gather all de thoughts and a simply duno wad to say... expecting a tough wk coming up, hope can get thru and can get used to all those senseless scoldings..
Add-on: cant believe i forgot to say abt this until i publish de post... within a week, an army captain and a soccer player (antonio puerta of sevilla) juz collapsed like that, both in their 20's... i guess this simply highlights de fragility of life... so how do u noe u wont leave any regrets behind? i guess this is a much-said topic, abt wad living ur life as if it's de last day of urs, abt doing things u wanted to and not delaying it... but at times saying is much much easier than doing.. sometimes it oso depends on whether u haf de courage to do so anot, as u may not haf 100% confidence, or u may end up losing more than gaining... perhaps i dun haf that courage, as i haf quite a number of regrets liao..
