Ha, you peoples must be thinking, "wa, lao hero also know to tell scary story, huh" be adviced not tell and not story, this is my encounted experience back in my hee hee not army day but indeed reservict day, 5th year reservict ah....... 19...., 1988 or....89, should be 89 and it's after my accident case in 88....ya should be.
That year is the 5th year in-camp training, and was doing battelion exercise at Pulau Tekong, ya ya Tekong Besar.....as usual, 1st 3 days those preparation and IPPT, ha ha I skid that and self declared PASS, do you think so, you think you hor, I know I pass can liao.
1st 2 days we are drawing burang burang and briefing and briefing and meeting and planning + IPPT la, after all the discussion 5th day final briefing and prepare to set off next days, 1 week at TEKONG and that is "tokong", support company recce section, that's where I am, chia liao be NCO, wa ha ha, assigned to jeep recce, hee hee 1 driver, 1 NCO, 2 men, per jeep 4 heads, at least we are given a convertible man, 1 week if rain ha ha ha manual cover with individual raincoat la.
1 week Pulau Tekong, here we come...to to to to loyang jetty and tekong jetty, we sst ground on Pulau Tekong, hee hee almost forget the convertible, jump onto it and set out to our 1st point, recce always in the front line, hee hee front line "hao seow" 1 la, all map out during the meeting so wayang wayang the procedure and deployment.
Here you go after 3rd days at Tekong, we have to joint up the boat man and go 1 round toward the other side of the shore and land, joint up Bravo company, preparing for ambush the enemy, also from support company 1 of the section, before the ambush we were given rest time, ya la must give la, dinner at 1800 hrs + evening and move out and joint up 2100 hrs +, so we station at the last point of deployment........ZZZZzzzzzz 4 of us all dozed off sweet sweet dream.
Next things when 1 of the guy wake up and shake us all awake, wow, look at the time it's 0300 hrs +, wondering why are we still here sleeping, we suppose to be at the command point assembled after the ambush conducted at 2300 hrs+, I take a look at the map and we just simply cannot figure out where are we at, which point? no bloody know where, look out for sign indication, can't find any but map show, hell, where are we?? then the driver said, let turn back to the shore side where we borded earlier, ok all agreed, but we don't seem to find the shore and having a feeling we are going round, we start to try the signal set "89ner Charlie calling 89ner Alpha, come in over....", "89ner Charlie calling 89ner Alpha, come in over", zerrrrr...... radio set keep receiving that sound, zerrrrr..., we start looking around and noticed it's a rubber plantation and we seem to be in the middle of it, quickly refer to the map again and we are off course from Bravo company , hell man, why like that, we are not even near the shore and we can't move away from here, everyone panic, frankly speaking, lam par qui chwee when we got the gut feeling we're in deep shit.
Wait, you think we jia luc, no, not us, there is another 2 infantry man on guard was also lost as the same area like us, they woke up later then us they heard our moving jeep sound, they don't seem to know what is going on, just asking us "Corparal, where is the Bravo company, where did they go?" I asked "Brother, you don't know what happen meh, where you come from?" the soldier replied " we Bravo company, on guard duty, fall asleep just wake up, what time huh? I asked again " Duty sleep! why your company peoples no wake you up meh? 3+ coming 4 and you just wake up, so to said you don't know where they go and you don't know what happen la?" "Ya lor, wake up blur blur, he sleep beside me and now don't know where are we lor, but lucky you peoples still around lor."
I'm just thinking, shit we are lost, and you still can said you lucky, see us happy. now 1st things 1st, all look at me after the conversation stop there, yi sie is Corporal, now how that kind of meaning. Bloody shit, how do I know what's next, KNN, see me for what, I also lost ma, CB why like that, where the hell are we, in the mid of panic I remember there is a thing call "COMPASS", happy man, a little hope, I toke it out and start checking the direction, Hmmmm, why not moving leh the needle. Chee bye la, siow liao la, kan ni na, spoil! they start to asked, corporal, chee bye la mai sng leh, piang siow si bo. Hello, don't believe check it yourself, they take turn to check and someone just voice simply a remarks saying, siow liao we lost, cannot be leh, compass spoiled, map buay chun, cannot find the way, don't know where also, too tio la sub si bo? then I start to feel uncomfortable and my body start to kar lun chun, thinking fuck man, this time this place and near to seventh lunar month this thing happen, don't tell me the "GATE" open earlier, KNN jia luc liao, one big HOW?
What can we do? simply nothing, gather everyone to sit close around on the jeep back to back facing out, act like on alert, switch on only 2 touch light putting it in the centre like camp fire to have some vision and not onto the plantation tree or branches, in case see moving "object" of "things" that not suppose to see, waiting and waiting and wait, seem to take very very long hours, but it's actual time is passing very slowly, shit man, it's torturing man.
An hour or so past, we manager to heard some engine sound roaming close, we start switch another 2 more touchlight and point at the direction, wa kor wei, ai yo yo, kam sia tee gong poh bi, at last we saw some company man walking toward us, we quickly put on our helmet and pick up our rifle and start waving at them, pretending nothing happen and we are lost only. The sergent approach me and said "corporal, we trying to stop you going further on your jeep, you never hear us calling and keep moving out to recce, this section exercise cancelled liao, all NCO and man report back to your company point for further discussion briefing."
The 2 infantry guys look at me, you know my replied, don't know and blur to them, so they act blur also, then ask the sergent where is Bravo company, funny it's to the left into the wood about 350 m away, and there is some light, but huh why for so long period of time we never notice leh. And we are moving to the right of Bravo but I remember we are moving round leh and further to right down of Bravo is the shore leh, we can't find it, hmmm.... fishy leh, I called up check time and tally, huh 2320 hrs, confirmed time 2320 hrs, siow liao, what had we encounted with man, what about the 2 infantry guys leh? Sergent said he call us, but we hear nothing leh and we woke up from sleep leh, then suddenly sergent and few guys appeared looking for us telling us cancel ambush exercise, what the fuck happening man.
Up till today, I still cannot tell what is going on that particular day out there, blur state to justify the situation, don't match the logis sence, is it Time-Travel or Lost In Time or some other ar...... huh you know la hor.
ai er er, kar lun chun leh
