Well, here to blog while I'm having my breakfast. have been sleeping throughtout most of friday and saturday. Reason being, I only had 10 hours of sleep during AKE (4 day 3 night event). I read some blogs just now, realised that everyone is enjoying their holidays and Young seems to get along well without me. That idiot, can't let me have my expedition in peace, MUST BADMOUTH ABOUT ME.

As mentioned, I was sleeping most of the time, woke up ~~yesterday~~ LAST (Daniel made me do it... he is freaking irritating when he nags. I mean whats the difference right?) night had my dinner and went to wash my plate. Grabbed the sponge and realise that part of the "sponge" was crawling up my arm. I stopped and figured, how can sponge move? Till the "sponge" was up my shoulder then I realise it was a cockroach. I flicked it off and grab a PLASTIC (Daniel now we're even) bag and caught the cockroach. Grabbed a can of insecticide and flooded the whole plastic bag with the fluid. Watched and enjoyed the death of that pest. WAHAHAHAHA! (*PS, this is what I do when I'm stress or very tired).

Well, I'm booking in for specialist course (Land Module) later. Have to reach HQ by 9. Have to polish my boots, iron my No. 3, fold my No. 4, finish packing my bag and decide to book in in CV or Uniform. I'm going to be super sicko and sadistic for specialist course [>=)]

Well, to get back to topic on AKE, it was rather fun to a sick-in-the-mind person like me. There were times where I really wanted to break down but managed to get a hold of myself. Alot of valuable lessons learnt.

Had one of my meals thrown away even though I haven't ate. Survived on night snacks and a piece of brownie (thanks Victor). That brownie really helped alot [=)]. On the second night, there was strong gale and heavy downpour when the cadets were about to sleep. Got some of them so frightened that they can't sleep, activated the entire AKE instructors to help out. Shifted some of the cadets to a warmer and dryer place to sleep, namely, the locker room beside the toilet, the panty and one of the staircase lobby. Note to all, 6 cadets can squeeze into a pantry [><]. Caught a period of the storm on video, will host it soon.

Was on one of the safety boats on the thrid day of the expedition. Was caught up in a storm, the boat almost capsized! Imagine, a 17 foot vessel capsize. We were off Changi (the stretch of land where we cannot beach up). Managed to get all the cadets together thanks to the coxswains. A kayak almost sinked as it was filled up to the brim with seawater which poured in when the waves strucked. Kayak was rescued.

There is these 2 particular female cadets which i must really mention about. Keep talking and talking and talking and talking, even when they are at the back. One of the Cadet officers went over and disturbed them, as their size were really big. He said "EH! YOU ALL HURRY KAYAK LATER I GIVE YOU BUN", and they went "I - WANT - TO - BATH - THEN -EAT (- means they paddle a stroke). Thus a name was given to them - The Dim Sum Dollies.

The last breakfast was spicy causing some of the cadets to have stomache and shit out at sea. Was seeing shit floating everywhere. The boat which I was on, was driven by a boatman called Wei Yang, know what he did? He purposely drive the boat near to the shit and look at it. You can even smell it on the boat. Conclusion, cadets body too "heaty" but not suffering from constipation, shits were floating.

Kayaked back after reaching woodlands causeway, we literally touched the causeway. While waiting for one of the cadets to finish doing his business, the gap between me, last boat, and the 2 kayaks were widening. Took the initiative to kayak and try to catch up with the expedition with one of the waiting kayak. Cannot catch up so I was towed and the 2 pairs of cadets were on the boat with their kayak. I think I fell asleep while I was towed cause I heard Joshua saying "Are you that tired? You fell asleep while being towed you know?" [0.o].

It is through these kind of activities that fuel my sick mind.

I'm being to hate a particular group of people falling under a catergory. Shall not elaborate much.

Pictures will come at a later date.
