(no title)

7th November
Sat down at the smoking area for the past 2 hour or so, listening to different people of different teams telling stories of how they spent their past 3 days out in the wilderness. It was rather interesting to find out how everyone ‘ho-lan-ded’ (got lost). Haha!! Some went through the wrong path, while some others just don’t know where the hell they were going. But thanks to the ninja scooters, most of the teams were able to find our checkpoints easier. Let me explain these interesting vehicles. They are actually vendors selling bubble tea, chicken cutlet, nuggets and various food while riding around on their motorbikes. And they actually know where each of the checkpoints are. Haha!! Oh and why did we called the ninja scooters, you would ask. Well, we were not suppose to purchase anything while we’re out. Hell, we’re not even suppose to have any money on us. We were only to survive on the combat rations we carry around. Anyway, they would appear out of nowhere, stop for us to buy munchies, and disappear after we’re done. When we hear any land rovers from a distance, the teams would all hide and the ninjas would cleverly no stop and move on, which was actually quite adrenaline pumping. Haha!! I guess these guys have been doing this for many many batches of trainees already, so they really know their shit. We all hafta thank them and some of the locals who helped us out. Without them, most of us would still be out there somewhere, lost, exhuasted and hungry.
