Mosquitoes

I am been really extremely busy for the past 1 month. Finally there is some time to rest. Off on Monday plus the public holiday on Tues is a welcome period for me.

Packing stuff into crates for overseas exercise is really no fun at all. Add organizing a major scale shooting range to it and you get a very tired man. Sleeping in camp is no funny matter too. Out of the past 4 days of sleeping in camp, I hardly sleep at all. The reason? Mosquito bites. I have never had that much hatred for mosquitoes before. Somehow even the office which is air-conditioned is infested with mosquitoes too.

These mosquitoes are really damn irritating. Apart from biting you, they can even fly around and buzz in your ears to make sure you don't sleep. On the first night where I slept in, both my legs and arms were bitten sore and black blue all over. Even my lips were not spared. I can almost imagine what they say before biting me.

Mosquito A: Eh. Got new guy leh. Never taste before.

Mosquito B: Yah. I am sick of sucking the same blood every night. Finally got new stock.

Mosquito A: So how?

Mosquito B: Attack lor. Tell everyone to come. Tell them got buffet spread.

I was tortured by the commanders in the day and by the mosquitoes at night. Life is getting harder with each passing day.

My node warrant even dared to ask me this: "Ever consider of signing on? You can sign on the logistic side mah. If you want to sign, I will definitely write a recommendation letter for you. How? What do you think?"

What do I think?

I think he must be crazy.

For some strange reason, I don't get mosquito bites that often, even in mosquito infested areas.

Sleep in long sleeves then. It'll be hot, so it's a just choice between the 2 poisons. Haha.
