What a week!! I just got out from a week of 'tekan'-ing in camp. Ok maybe it wasn't the whole week but it was really tiring. They tried to wear us out with push-ups, shouting, change parades, field pack inspections, stand-by-beds and timings for every activity. 5 hours of that at one go. But we came out the stronger. I'd like to think that we surprised them by how resilient we were. All the strenuous activity that they dished out at us could do was to make me smile at my bunkmates and say to them, "Is this the best they've got?"

The only thing thats getting me down is having athelete's foot and a slight rash on my hands. I think its because of the amount of dust in my bunk. Its very much cleaner than when we first stepped foot into 3rd Signal Battalion but I dunno why its not going away. I'm trusting God for my complete healing though.

The only downside to my week was the fact that I swore at my bunkmate after the whole 'tekan' session. It was like the first time that I intentionally swore at someone in about 5 years. He's the type of guy who can really get on your nerves. The kind who needs attention. He's a big guy who acts like a little kid, which makes it hard to take him seriously sometimes. Especially when he acts like an absolute fool in front of our men. Anyway, nothing justifies me having to resort to that so I really regret saying what I did. I felt really tired immediately after. As if I was winded after a long run. I was really disappointed in myself... Especially after Patricia just spoke to us about walking in love 2 weeks ago. Gotta try harder!
