Next,u slit it open in the middle and pull out its skin...yes..skinning...and if u were a lil less heartless in the 1st procedure the frog might jump at this stage if it's still alive...and scare the shit outta u...i experienced tat...and a few others also..it was horrible...felt sad..anyway...the last stage was slitting open its stomach and grabbing all the internal organs out but b4 tat checked whether the gall and the liver is lookin fine ornot..welll girls...sorry trying to make it not sound s gross s it seems le...2nd day had the stupid dogs from MP dog unit coming to demonstrate all the guard dogs and sniffer dogs etc...then went to tekong at nite...slept at some old building at the FIBUA village...they gave out nite snacks but my team decided to leave it for tomolo breakfast instead..3rd day start our navigation exercise in tekong with jus tat pathetic nite snack we left over as breakfast and til around 5pm then we had 1 green pack of combat ration to share amongst 4guys..i meant 4 really hungry men...after some rest, we started our Interrogation process...from 6pm all we did was High Kneeling,Kneeling on 1leg,Standing with Hands 90degrees in front of u,standing with hands above ur heads....all these stress positions...imagine doing it for a whole 12 hours without any food nor sleep?and i was dragged to questioning twice...but i didnt let myself down...didnt say out any things to them at all...and it was finally over at 6am on the forth day...4th day...started our Living off the Land as soon as we finished the interrogation..had to build our own shelters and fireplace...and a few more other stuffs..and lasted til the 6th day morning....over and over....in between cooked our own rice with the rice they gave and sweet potato...hot dog and chicken wings...but 1 per person with no seasonings...so it was kinda tasteless too..6th day was finally over and waited at tekong for the stupid ferry at 7pm cos of the asian aerospace...waited like since 11.30am ....well really rotted there...and yar i was glad i was done..Feelings...: first and second day was still ok...although i will never eat frogs again for at least a yr...it was really quite sick lar...haiz...sorry to my frog once again..i almost teared having to slit its stomach open...but i really didnt have a choice....mayb the other option of killing an eel might be better...second nite going over to tekong was really quite hard..as the bus nears the ferry terminal images of me booking in during sispec flashed back...it was a horrible feeling ..really hated to cross tat sea over to the pathetic island once again...but as the sea breeze blew i tot to myself...yar..jus the last time u will do tat....hang in there aeron...wwent over le then sleeping on the hard concrete ground in the FIBUA Village was quite horrible...1day of no bathing liao le...didnt sleep well...but oh well..since when i did in outfield....third day was the navigation....really brought back memories also...as the tonner went past bmt and sispec....and the navigation luckily no field pack....jus the SBO...so i didnt really exert alot and didnt get rashes...well...at a pt was thinking mayb i shld get rashes...i really dun feel like continueing this whole shit...why am i doing all this??for wat for whom....i tot i had an answer...but in the end ended up with more questions..The interrogation was the worst...kneeled til my knees went blue black...and being blindfolded is no joke...u jus feel like shit..it was an experience...but an experience u never wanna have again....im glad i didnt give in....to the interrogators tat is....they went..."welcome to my humble abode...u r now my prisoners...why not be our frenz and u get to have a nice warm and comfy safari bed to sleep tonite?" well...tat was jus part of the taunting...Living off the land was another ordeal...reminded me of my scouting days...all the square lashes, A frames....it was jus another Annual Patrol camp again...i suddenly jus missed my sec sch days...and felt really lonely when choy and jingsheng went to cut down bamboos... i jus stoned...i dunno why haha....alot of flashbacks....u noe those kinda dramas when someone's dying then all the flashback....i had tat....burnt my finger while cooking for the team also....accidentally grabbed the mess tin while it was still cooking..forgot it was burning hot...and yar..burnt...my finger not the food...it was jus like scouting...i was the cook with aaron...but i handled the food more he gave ideas more...and yar...haiz...it was the past...im glad i still have them as good frenz though...last day in tekong while waiting for the ferry walked past 2prowlers on duty and one of them went "good AFTERNOON SERGEANT!" i stunned for awhile...and i jus showed my palm signalling there's no need and smiled off..somehow i felt a lil sec of pride...but it wore off soon with the breeze...there's no pride in this occupation...to me at least...im jus glad its over..glad to shout out loud...ORD LOH!
