just came back from an outfield exercise playing the enemy.. quite an enriching experience in that i learnt something about myself.. i tend to over romanticize my memories.. i only realized it when i started persuading my friends to all go for this exercise and not chao keng take MC because i thought that after so long it would be quite fun for all of us to go outfield and create havoc again.. plus since we're so lao jiao it should be quite slack and this outfield mission will be a blast..

well i was seriously wrong and all my preconceived notions about a wonderful little platoon outing turned into sweat baked hallucinations of endless sai kung in the unyielding lim chu kang sun.. on top of that we were seperated into smaller groups so this really was quite a nightmare.. quite different from what i envisioned and remembered from my past experiences outfield.. i think it is human nature to take the best of what we can remember from memories and omit the nasty stuff because when i was busy persuading my friends i had visions of a few of us sitting by the camp fire cooking our instant noodles.. talking cock late into the night.. teaming up to fight against newbie enemies.. not sitting in pitch darkness with only a buddy for companionship fighting to keep my eyelids open while waiting for the enemy to overrun me at any time.. and lying out in the open being bitten my mosquitoes and other assorted organisms from the insect world..

i dunno what it is with me but i seem to have a fascination with zombies because for the 2nd time in one week i have had zombie dreams.. and we are talking full blown movie scale zombie dream.. complete with deadly flesh virus and crazy blood thirsty zombies who move at lightning fast speed jumping around here and there.. cats dogs and kids even get infected in my dreams.. and i have had to smack a zombie so hard in the head blood started spurting.. and then i ran away because i was afraid the blood was contagious.. one too many zombie shows for me i think.. 28 days is going to be a cult classic and my favorite one so far.. now if only i can remember who it was that said 28 days later sucks.. i should tell him about my dreams so he can laugh about how zombies have so profoundly affected my life..
