End of In-Camp

Nobody wants to admit, but I'm sure they feel the same way as I do. We all enjoyed ourselves throughout the period of in-camp. One thing is we all can put aside some issues from the outside and relax for ten over days.

Although the field training is uncomfortable with all the mosquitoes and ants all round, they bite where ever they find an exposed part of flesh. Sleep is almost impossible with them bugging me, so by the end of the 54 hours mission, I was really zombied.

But the best part of field training is the greenery, back to the nature, roughing it out. The great sunset behind the tree line as wide as the eyes can see, staining the sky into a brilliant purple.

The best of best parts is watching the sunset while standing in the field peeing into the bushes... ha ha.

Thanks to the wide coverage of Starhub Mobile, I'm able to call home to talk to my wife and Isabel everyday even if I'm out in the field with no house or building in sight. The fact that we are in the reservist training doesn't mean we are completely cut off from the outside obligations, life still goes on, business still goes on with or without us, so we keep ourselves updated by calling back to our office and home. Some of them has got pregnant wife at home due to deliver in weeks or days.

Come next year's in camp will be our last, everyone is excited about it, but at the same time will also miss it.

I know I will.

sometimes it does feel good to forget about the hustle and bustle of today's busy life and just focus on the necessities - kinda' bring us back to human basic.
