toiling through an exercise for the past three days have been terrible for me...had to climb this continuous stretch of mountain tracks for a good 16-20km, and even then it wasn't enough. then had to do a stupid day attack (not that i fought), but it was stupid nonetheless. I mean, who does an attack in the middle of the day which results in numerous soldiers falling out due to the noon day heat (guess that's why it's called EX HIGHNOON, sheesh). As I have been saying the past few days, the entire thing was a FWOT (Fucking Waste Of Time)!!!
anyhow, i have escaped the terrible fate of 4 more days of boredom doing impractical things by saying that i have important things like inbound flight stuff to do. ok ok, a few half-truths here and there eventually allowed me to power my way to an excuse to skip the rest of the exercise. it's crap anyway, and i'm glad that i'll be done with it soon. in less than a week's time, the entire battalion will be on R & R and everyone will be happy... i'm quite looking forward to this trip and i hope nothing will ruin it for us.
there have been talks of social/political unrest in Taipei, but i really hope Taipei holds it together and comes through for us lor...if not it will be too sad man... the men have been here for TOO long for something like political unrest to spoil their entire trip here. Already, the exercise is pissing everyone off, so please Taipei, hold it together!
now i will go and enjoy the rest of my evening...seeya
