sick, again.../ 8:49 PM After 1 mth of training under hot sun & chilly rain, the COC parade was finally over yesterday. I managed to tahan till the parade ended & it was a serious test of our perseverance & mental strength. We were in "senang-diri" and "sedia" positions for quite a while & while waiting, I really wanted to fall asleep. Don't ask me why, it's just that during drills, I have a tendency to fall asleep & was caught once for it...1 poor guy fainted during the (currently former) Base Commander's speech & standing infront, I couldn't really see the action going on cos that guy's standing at the back. All I heard was someone shuffling his feet, sound of the rifle magazine scraping against the floor & more or less I'd already guessed what has happened. The FDS supporting contingent was standing behind my GOH 'B' contingent so they had a clear view of the incident. 1 of my friends even said he was desperate to laugh out cos the guy who fainted looked like he's break-dancing (don't be so mean leh..) Back at flight, somehow I felt queasy but I brushed it off cos I thought the cold might just go away overnight. On several occasions, I joked that I would take "paid-leave", you know, you pay the doctor & they give u the *ahem* "Leave"? I popped a few pills thats supposed to ease my suffering but by this morning, I was in no shape to perform my duties cos I was feeling rather dizzy, feverish. However, I decided to head back to camp cos I didn't want my friends to have the impression that I had chao-genged and at the same time, I could visit the MO and receive free mdecial treatment, courtesy of the SAF. I was confident that I would get att C & go home cos I was obviously on the verge of Knocking Out by noon. Unfortunately, there's many others who took leaves, some official while some u know, not so official ones. I felt sorry for my friends over at northern cos they were in desperate need of manpower & I had to leave them, which doesn't bode well for them. I thought I could help them out for 2 X-ray duties which are the least-demanding duties but I had to reject my sgt's request to help them out cos I really didn't feel well. I hope that they'll pull through this tough period cos it's been hard on all of us these couple of weeks. Heard that the shift is supposed to go on a Sentosa outing this friday, entrance fee and lunch provided I think. Hey, I don't have a body to flaunt and I'm in no condition to go anyway. I guess that means I'll have to bang seh them this time. Hopefully in a few months' time I'll get a better physique and I'll definitely pay a visit to the beach by then. |
