aiya, army is damn fun on hindsight lah, just dun over do it.
I used to love the thrill of smoke grenade and guns firing in the night where all you hear are people screamingf obscenities, blanks firing and gun smoke. And the flare from a machinegun firing blanks in your direction is pretty cool too.
Add that on to live firing of anti tanks weapons, and getting lost in foreign jungles, its those experiences that make you realise you dun mind it.
Best recollection:
We were out in the hills for two days in Taiwan, Gaoshiong, it was raining like shit and it was so dreary, but then, as we sat down to have a break cos we were cramping so badly and freezing, we saw this beautiful circular rainbow circling the hill. i think we all stood up and marvelled at it for the longest time. That was like 9 years ago for me liao, but i still remember it clear as day.
After that, I never lost the thrill of appreciating beautiful things in a foreign land no matter how tough life is.
Have fun folks.
