Okay, let me start off by telling you guys that the officers in camp warned all of us not to blog about the a***. Ya right. So i shall just skip all the words regarding it, and done. Because i have too much to rant about already.

It was pretty fun inside because of the people in there and the new things that we get to try, but sometimes we just waste too much time. For instance this week i have my live range.

The first day which was thursday i reach the place in the morning and only get to leave it at 12plus am. Back to camp at 1 plus am and slept at 2 am. I only get to shoot for a total of not more than 20min. The rest of the time was wasted on waiting. Wait for my turn to come and wait for others' turns to go.

The second day, friday, i thought it wouldn't be so bad. But in the end we only get to sleep at 12 plus am. WAIT WAIT WAIT.

I hate waiting for time to pass. Imagine i have to endure that for 2 days. I rather we did training or whatsoever. At least wouldn't feel so guilty for eating without any workout.

Yea, everyone's eager to get fitter and gain more muscles.

This week was really far too slack as compared to last two weeks. But this week is the start of all the punishments, physical and confinements.

Confinement - that's a really sensitive word in camp, because everyone's scare of it. I think now the A really knows how to make things work more efficiently. In the past, physical punishments are more popular, but now, the threat to rob someone's "freedom" becomes a much more powerful tool.

Why? Because being in the island for too long is suffocating. Everyone craves the fresh air of the mainland and the buzzling urban life which we are so used to. The urge to come in touch with technology and comfort. The taste of "REAL FOOD" and "REAL MUSIC". And finally, to be able to come back to our own shelter where we will find the sense of security; where we can see our family again, where we can be assured that we are safe and secured.

Welcome home (:

I think jeremy thinks that serving ** is like.. How should i put it...
He mentioned something like human rights and bla bla. Well in our country it's compulsory for all guys to serve the army, so there's no two way about it. Serving ** = this two years we are to belong to the a**y = no personal freedom.

Well even the time we are allowed on the mainland is controlled by them. So what 'freedom' is this? Even a modicum of restriction and control would detroy the freedom that's offered to us. Let the bird out of its cage, but tie a string to its feet, so that it would remember the way home. Pun intended. So this is to let it has a taste of freedom while keeping it? In the end, when the reality hits in, it's all back to zero. No freedom means NO FREEDOM.
