Hollanded(lost) by Not so simple plan.

I open my eyes
i try to see but i'm blinded
by the camou...
i can't remember how
i can't remember why
i'm lying here tonight

And i can't find my way
And i can't get out of this place
No i can't find my way...

how could this happen to me?
i made my mistakes
got no where to walk
the navex goes on
as i'm stinking away
i'm sick of the smell
i just wan to get out
how could this happen to me?

everybody's grumbling
i try to apologise
but no one hears me
i'm slipping off the slope
i'm hanging by a tree
i wan to start this over again
so i try to hold onto
a thicker trunk that wont break
and i can't explain what happened
and i can't backtrack e way i've walk
no i can't

how could this happen to me
we are holland
got no where to walk
no knolls to climb
as i'm slipping away
i'm sick of the mud
i just wanna scream
how could this happen to me?

i've made my mistake
got no where to walk
the knolls goes on
as i'm slipping away
i'm sick of the mud
i just wanna scream
how could we holland in here???


exact feeling when in the brunei forest. the song just pop up in my head. stupid...haha

Review:
In Brunei, everything is twice to thrice times e stuff in singapore. e jungle is 3 times thicker. knolls are 3 times higher. twice as hot. ants are 5 to 6 times bigger. ant bites are 5 times more painful. i saw a millipede half a meter long...e sun sets at around 1745hrs and rise around 0615hrs. rain for all e outfield exercises i got...tmd... mud slides are everywhere la...to e extend we gave up on climbing downwards and start sliding down all e way. quite fun though. e climbing part...e slopes gets steeper and steeper and there was one part it doesnt seems like a slope la...more like a wall... den we got to travel by e river too, so 4 of us join our field packs together, put on our life jacket and start to follow e flow of e river down. but at e end of e 4th day, we finally made our way out of e god damn jungle, cement floors and roads never seem so nice before. thats only e nagvigation exercise.

2 days later, attack exercise starts. got to cross a 60 meter river den climb 7 knolls before reaching our objective. on e paper its written 7 knolls... so we did e counting, and on e 7th knolls we were told we are on e first knoll....e rest that we climb are hidden knolls whcih on not shown on e map....so after like...8 hours of climbing up and down, we finally reached our objective... so platoon 2 and 3 attack their objective while we provide reserves for them. den after they finish its our turn to attack, but its around pitch dark. so attack was cancelled....how dumb can that be....waste our time. so we just went straight to our harbouring area to stay for e night...and e harbour area is just at e back gate of our camp!!! they rather us stay at e rear gate den to let us go back to our bunk to sleep...quite dumb rite.
next day, we got to climb mount biang, a moutain thats 1388 feet high, around 400++ meters. so more climbing and climbing and we finally reach e top....which got nothing...den nevermind we just make our way down e mounttain, which takes like 3 to 4 hours while e going up takes 1 hour. rush to our harbour area and finally rest for e night. next day wake up early and rush to our objective to fight. den pack up and go back camp...thats e end of our major exercise.
everyone looks so shagged after that...

R and R in brunei....is worst den malaysia la..
except they have lots of shops selling pirated stuff. dvds, games. food is not too bad. had buffet lunch and dinner before making our way back to singapore.

singapore seems so pretty after i've been to brunei...
haha...experiences in brunei makes me realise how important simple things that we have now in singapore is to us. so cherish whatever u have before its gone.

I LOVE SINGAPORE MAN!!! hahaha
