ROC in Taiwan

just came back this morning from taiwan. training was tough especially climbing all the stupid mountain. the highest i scaled was 498m high above sea level. knee was hurting n legs were aching. was straining for my back due to the heavy load i was carrying. Exercise Longwalk was indeed tiring.. walking about 40km in 3 days was really madness. i'm glad tat its over. now, i've almost completed the scout course and most importantly i've gotten my jungle hat. monday wil be the presentation day.

really enjoyed the R&R in taipei. simply shiok shopping @ wu fen pu & xi men ding. mostly japan and korea products. the salesgirl are all so pretty!!! food at shi ling night market was really good especially the guan cai ban, ji pa, bubble tea and sausage! yum yum! its really easy to move around n navigate in taipei. the train service system was really like singapore. we went around using the mrt train which is called "metro". it was an enjoyable trip! I WANT TO GO TAIPEI AGAIN!!!!

felt really sorry n sad for the two singapore NS men who died in the plane crash in taiwan. hope tat their family are doing fine and well. my condolesence to them.

today is an official off day. tml will be back to camp to kill frog... yucks! its part n parcel of the course requirement. how i hope i can escape tat. HELP!!

feels good to be home. however, i'm down wif flu. nose is dropping. ouch!

~will be posting pictures soon!~
