Of Leadership Camp

hello public

its been a while since i did a proper entree. 2 weeks to be exact. truth is, yours truly hasnt been in his best of moods lately. some have noticed my lacklustre and questioned. i'll just smile and tell you everything's fine when it isnt. i'm just hoping i can get through this depressing phase. i'll keep telling myself that everything's alright. nothing last forever. i shall be fine. afterall, am i not Mr Happy, oui?

anyway, emo matters aside. i shall blog about my life in the little island of tekong. had a little stint in the jungle for 3 days and 2 nights. it was some sort of a leadership camp where we are allocated in groups of 15 with people we dont really know. and then, assigned roles which mine coincidentally happened to be a medic. which means that i have to walk around with a strecher and bandages in my backpack.

the whole idea of this leadership camp is to see how you can work under pressure and see whether ur brain can still function when u're really tired. and luckily for me, i did. what we had to do was walk into the jungle and there would be stations set up. we had to complete 6 missions in day. a mission would be like lets say theres a bridge and the middle part has been blown off and u got a few pieces of wood thats not long enough. at one side of the bridge is a victim that got shot in the chest. so the task is to get some men accross the bridge, bandage the victim up and put him on the strecher, then cross back to the other side of the bridge and then propell everybody down the bridge(ard 2 stories high) using ropes.

as a medic i had to save victims, bandage them up, put them on the stretcher. i found it to be really fun. my group name was alpha and for two days in a row we completed all the missions fast and was the first to reach back to the starting point. i thoroughly had an enjoyable time. but it was really hot and when u look up, there's like no clouds in the sky. so its was extremely fucking hot.

alright. i think i shall stop here for now. i really need to sleep. i'll leave u with a picture of me and my bunkmates, meaning those sharing the same room as me.
