reflections of a green man
back in my early days offshore. we were supposed to keep a so called journal.
it was like blogging to me. just that i would have gotten into a whole lot of trouble if my superiors had actually read what i'd wrote down. it was a little too skimpy. but i liked it that way. it was straight to the point.
my platoon mates could actually write down a day's worth of reflection on 2-3 pages of paper. me on the other hand had 4 days entries on just one page. tsk tsk tsk.
these few dates below are actually days that i remember living thru'.

Aqua. Fun.
Rifle cleaning. No fun.
Tomorrow EI talk, maybe fun.
lookin' forward to it. & i'm hungry
15/10/08
Urban Operation was fun.
but gettin' into trouble for drawing
on the wall is no fun at all.
Bang Bang!!

20/10/08

21/10/08
Early part of the day at MO.
Later part of the day slack.
I lost 1.2kg but official records said i gained 600g. Yay.
Finding out that i passed IPPT was dope.
But being the only one to do so was simply much more doper.
I deserve a Pocari Sweat.

I NEARLY DIED.
DIED OF SUFFOCATION.
well actually yes. i couldnt breathe and my feet were killing me.
i was giddy and had wanted to collapse. 16km only, have yet to move on to 24km then.
but u cant blame the flu.
