Friday, July 21, 2006 I cried. . . For once. . . For so long. . . I burst into tears. . . And if they say a man's tear is precious, they would have worth a million. . .As we entered the gas chamber, we were made to divide evenly among ourselves to the two sides of the room. . . Standing at each allocated position, it felt as though death was awaiting, and i could clearly understood how the jews must have felt when they were sent into the execution room by the Nazis. . . The toxic gas environment sets in as pallets of white coloured pills were burned under bunsen flame and immediately we knew the next moment will not be anything good. . . But first, to shag us physically, each of us had to carry on 5 sets of different exercises. . . Then, came the finale. . . One by one, we were order to have our protective mask removed as the man with red arm band proceed down the line. . . I was the seventh guy in the row. . . My legs trembled in fear as i saw my friends, my compatriates, going down one after another. . . Silently i prayed, for god to give me some power. . . Soon, it was my turn. . . Plucking out all the courage that i ever had for the past 19 years, i bravely took out my mask and awaits my destiny. . . For the first couple of minutes i stood firmly, determined not to go down so easily like the rest. . . Just as i thought that i'm gonna managed to survive the ordeal, the next few moments became something i would never forget. . . Within the next minute, the toxic suddenly took effect and i was finding myself in a great deal of suffering. . . I could feel myself choking in burning gases, my nose and eyes were burning as though large concentration of medical oil were applied on them. . . Tears and mucus flowed out in tremendous quantity. . . Unable to hold on any longer, i rushed out of the room just like the rest and began coughing unstoppedly. . . Luckily, the tremors did not last long and the uncomfort was relieved withing minutes. . So. . . that was my experience with tear gas in one of our chemical defence course. . . Quite unforgetable and to a certain degree, fun too. . . I would say i will never wanna fight in a chemical warfare. . . It was like what the. . . Wearing the moop 4 and fight under conditions like what we have in Singapore. . ? By the way, moop 4 is a chemical defence suit which is extremely thick and hot to wear. . . You will not die under enemy fire or chemical poisoning with this, but i guess most likely you will die of heat stroke before even you can reach your enemy. . . Rejoice!! For i've finally been able to clear my SOC. . . I shouldn't say finally because it's only the second time i'm taking the test, but somehow i feel the test has took too long to come. . . Anyway, i'm glad that i've cleared my SOC and wouldn't have to take it again for a very long time. . . Every moment while doing SOC was hell, and i will never wanna take it another time if i have a choice, just too bad that you have to take another time during your second year in army. . . but that will be quite some time to go, no point thinking about it now. . For now, i've cleared it in 8minutes and 53seconds, a fair result and i'm satisfied enough. . . This was supposed to be a long weekend for me, no ndp rehearsal and a time to finally put your hair down, sleep and relax. . But as usual, SAF is a dynamic organisation, a last minute recall for us to go back for ndp rehearsal on saturday. . . And again, there goes my saturday. . . It pissed me off, because i've planned for my weekend and now, this thing came in and destroyed it. . . what should i say. .? They took away our weekend and replaced us with off on a week day, what's the point. .? I mean as in everyone will be studying, working, in camp during the weekdays and the only thing seemed that you can do is to sleep at home. . . and i regard sleeping at home as a waste of off days, yet for the past few weeks i've been doing so all the way. . . Frustrating isn't it. .? The time that you are free, others will be busy, and the time that you are busy, others are busy. . . I guess now the thing that they should replace us with after taking our weekend away is not only off for ourselves, but for our fellow friends too, so that they can be free to go out with us too. . . |
