Rest and Recreation

Were given a measly two days of R&R after slogging so much for the SAF. Now I can really appreciate what Mr Chan Ter Yue went through in his NS days. (pulley system in bathing). Unfortunately, I had no photo of it . I suppose no one would like to be seen carrying a camera in a public bath area.

There is a reason why Singapore ends up bottom in the Durex survey. Australia is so unlike Singapore where they censor everything until nothing is left.

On that fateful night (actually last night in Australia), my platoon mates were going out in hordes just to visit two clubs in the town. In fact, strip clubs.

It is not easy to turn down such offers when 1) they cost only $20+++++++++ (see what I mean?) 2)I am a

red-blooded male. 3)Being risk as being labelled a coward. (which I already am after this trip for missing the sinful night). Trust me, it ain't easy, especially the last one. =(.

Was disappointed when even my superiors also paid a visit, from what I heard. Thankfully, I can count on three sane friends who stayed with me to watch Return of the Kings. (yes very sad, out of the whole company, only 3 of us were sitting in the motel room watching movie). If not for them, things would be worse. I would be too ashamed to even come here.

The animal in me took some time to be tamed. It did not respond to logic or reason. I was staring at the ceiling (as usual) under my blanket. Felt torn then. Finally, I somehow convinced myself that it was degrading to women. The beast in me felt it was a good enough reason to release me from its torment. At last, the beast died when I thought of the Desert Rose...I realised that I still miss her, after like one year! Can't bear myself to go to such places and taint my eyes. Maybe that was also one of the more compelling reason why I never went.

Exhausted by the battle within, I feel asleep.....
