I DID IT! I AM PROUD OF MYSELF TODAY!

Today, I am proud to tell you that, I AM PROUD OF MYSELF!


The story:

These few days I had been starting to push myself  to move my ass more rather than just sitting in front of my laptop and Facebook 24/7. My weight had been really pushing it to the edge of 100kg already. LOL. A few days back, I weight about 98.5kg. Hmmmm... THAT'S A LOT.

So I started a little bit of exercise like push ups. It had been at least 2 years I never did any push ups, so I thought, giving it 15 at a time for a few days should be good. IT IS DIFFICULT.. after resting so many years not moving a muscle. I always almost give up when it reaches 10. But the inner coach screaming at me, yelling at me and asked me to finished it. I did.

Today morning, like usual, I did another 15. Suddenly, I saw ray of light shining into my house! It had been daysssssss I missed sunlight as the weather here is kind of terrible! This is it. I am going for hiking at Baiyun Mountain! My initial plan was to hike until half (so called half way) and snap some pictures then go home and rest.

I had been staying here for almost 10 months and I had NEVER CLIMBED TO THE PEAK of that mountain. I believe it's about 800m or higher but lesser than 1000m in height. There's no map. No altitude sign. People said it's not too high. So I thought to myself, "Why not give it a try?".

And together with me, I brought my wife along (about 5kg in total) and myself (98.5kg) and I started my hiking bearing about 103.5kg on my foot! The last time I went hiking to such altitude was back in my Wataniah training and this one, is really random and no mental preparation at all.

I don't know which way to follow. I don't know how high is it. I don't know HOW FAR is it. I climbed and climbed. I hiked and hiked. Many times, I almost give up and wanted to turn back. Then I remembered when I was back in the boot camp. How I were pushed and tortured but remained confident and never give up. I continued.

On the way up, I met some hikers as well, I asked for direction and they always tell me this: "Oh, very  near only. Another 2 curves you're gonna be there!". But thank god they "lied" to me. LOL. It is NOT AS NEAR AS IMAGINED.

I started approximately 0930 hours and I reached the peak at 1111 hours sharp. I did it non-stop and it's really a long long hike for a person like me who had not been in training to do this kind of hiking. I can only motivate and motivate myself all way up the road.

Finally, I am standing right at the peak of the mountain. I feel that,  it is not a waste that I went for Wataniah training that trained me not to give up no matter what; and, I was wearing my Taekwondo pants too. It gives me another boost of energy.

This is the proof I'm standing on the peak of the mountain and the proof why this is the only picture I took today. LOOK AT THE HAZE!

I AM PROUD OF MYSELF TODAY! Even though I might not feel my legs tomorrow morning. XD

Meet My Friend

Hi there, meet my loyal friend during my Wataniah training.

His name is James. James Blunt.

p/s: Exam stress.

Scary Wednesday Morning

I woke up at 8. Calculated some of my ang pau money and I prepared to bank them in. So after getting everything ready, I put on my sport shoes and I walked to the Petronas at the back of my housing area to bank in the money.

On the way... I suddenly realised a kind of murderer sense. Very... very deep... very deep. I took my head up, and look at them. There were 3 of them. 2 in full green and 1 was wearing track suit.

"Something's not right.", I said to myself. I observed closely as I walked by. These guys never even blink their eyes as I passed by. The same way, I stared at them with my murderous sense and released my reiatsu.

I looked into them much more firely. Then out of a sudden, I noticed some yellow lines on the arm of both of the men in green.

"Hmmm... that must be Lans Koperal, and that.... must be a Sarjan.", I was relieved.

"That in civilian suit must be high ranking officer. At least Leftenan Muda", I thought.

*Light bulb!!!*

Why were them staring at me? What's wrong with these people? Didn't they see a fat assleng cai from before? I walked further down. Suddenly, I saw something green moving around me. I looked again.

WTF KNNCCB @#$@#^%@$!^#^#$^!%!@#%!&^@%!%!^!!!!!! I was wearing my army T-shirt with short pants, with my foreset of leg hair, with messy-just-woke-up-from-bed-hair plus haven't-shaved-face, in army T-shirt.

I immediately walked as fast as I could, and possibly, one of my fastest walk in this one year period. Really, it's scary to think back if they suddenly halt me and ask: "Eh kau di sana, lapor!".

Then I shall reply:"Sarjan, kau lapor!. Saya 6156380, Kapten Benjamin Lee, Batallion 2, Rejimen 515! LAPOR!", then after they lapor I'll kick their asses and I'll run away. Hahaha!

It's seriously scary at that moment. If I was caught that untidy, I would have doomed. I still have about 4 years of contract with ATM. No kidding.


p/s: Well trained military people can easily notice if the T-shirt is real or fake through their years of experience. And the worst thing is, I was wearing the army T-shirt, produced by Angkatan Tentera Malaysia itself. All the designs are the same throughout Malaysia. How would I not be recognised?

Before And After

Oh... I forgot this one you know? There you go!

Before



&





After

"Squad!"

Well, today I've done something and I am not regretting about it. It's in my blood isn't it? Going against something which is in my blood means suicide rite?

Well, although the session isn't that long, I still feel that the everybody's passions are still burning hot.

I went to joined the Wataniah members in KTAR to do some marching. Although it's just marching, I feel that I'm belonged to the team, to the Regimen.

Probably, when one day, should I failed my studies, it just might be my next destination.

Why being so patriotic when Malaysia is treating us like this?

My answer:"I don't know."

The Missing Pieces

Yo peeps! Finally SOME of the pictures are up! However, all these are not in chronological order. I just don't have the time for it. I hope someday in the future, someone will write a programme that will arrange pictures accordingly to dates!!! Hope you guys out there enjoy these ya!

This is on our Passing Out

>

Presenting TTS to the VVIPs. I'm breaking 2 tiles with elbow while the other guy, with his head! He has got no any martial arts training. Mind you.

This is TTS Bersenjata. We are using M-16 for this performance and this performance is really really really really wonderful!

We are having TTS at night. Normally it range from 2300 to 0100 or 0200 hours.

This is one of the waterfall that we went to. The view there is nice!

This is what we called "Stand To" whereby we stay in that position for half an hour, twice a day, from 0630 to 0700 and 1830 to 1900.

The weather looks just nice from here isn't it? Go there and see. We were all suffered at that place. Not enough/No water, no rest. All we got is one hot blardy sun and TTS.

We sleep everywhere. Practically, anywhere.

Not forgetting, any style.

This is one of the night hell before into the jungle. We had a 8km fast walk whereby a lot of them fell and some gave up due to physical condition. See that our uniforms are wet? It's not because of raining nor water. It's because of our own sweat.

One of our early TTS training in base. This one was still not too bad. Never learn martial art before? Never mind, very "easy" one!!!

During our "Medan Sasar" --- Shooting day. We fired live rounds and these few pictures show that we were being punished because some of them line up too slow.

As you cacn see, this is one of our punishment, side roll.

Spinning and sprint

Kelambu dance. Another punishment because some stubborn people just don't hang their kelambu on.

Kawad Bersenjata

Nice view from top of the mountain. A 9-hour jungle trekking.

This is the day when I shivered non-stop for hours. Everybody shivered. This rain is much heavier than it seems to be.

This is the "Force Party" that I've mentioned. After coming back from 2nd jungle, that night, by 2000 hours we started our "party" till 5 in the morning. No kidding!

One of the introductary lessons to M-16, assembling weapons and dissemble.

We were forced to dance. Forced to sing. And no sleep. However, we learnt something in there. Curi masa. As long as you don't let the coaches see you, JUST DO IT ---> SLEEP!

This is the flare we used in ambush assaults. This flare is no pray-pray. Really damn bright and it can really brighten up the whole area.

Well, I still haven got all of them. I tried to upload some videos into YouTube but it doesn't seems to be uploading at all! Hopefully in time to come, I still have time to upload those pictures that I'm about to get and by that time, a chronological one. Hopefully.
