1987 - Part 3 of 9 - I’m in two separate WORLD @ Once!
Salam sejahtera.
Remembering the past time when i was in form five in 1987. I’ve joined a camping trip to Papar and it was a Army Cadet Club from my secondary school. I was so happy at last because during a school session our teacher adviser for the club arrange a camping trip for 3 days and 3 night. Honestly, i’ve never been in a camping trip before in my life, so that’s why i’m so excited. Well ya know, you can see a lot of things, the things you couldn’t see when you’re at home. Every teenager would like camping with their friend indeed.
After making several preparations for the camping trip, i’ve noticed something strange and it’s like there’s ’someone’ with soft whispering voice told me that i’m going to experience ’something’, and for a while, i didn’t care about it until the following day. The thought are getting stronger and i can feel a slight different in my sight (it’s not getting blurr or whatever.. and i’m sorry i can’t explained it to you), it’s not an ordinary normal day like i used to feel but i didn’t felt afraid. Oh no… am i going to cancel this exciting trip or ah i said.. just do it boy! What are you afraid of!?
We go to our destinations by train and it’s my first time ever being in an ‘old’ train before. It so exciting with all the friend laughing and so forth.. hehehe and that moment in slow motions, i started to feel very tired. I don’t know why but i thought it’s due to lack of sleep a few days before the trip. After we reached to our destinations in Papar train station, i was so tired even the train trip just lasted only 2 and a half hours only. My other friends were so excited they go out with their cadet uniforms to the Papar town area to bought some food and stuff. I was totally tired and i didn’t joined them, even though i wanted to. All of the sudden i started to feel different. It was like i was in a dream. The sound of the people walking and talking around the train station was like an echoing sound.. everything seems to be in a slow motion movement but i went to sleep because i thought maybe i’m tired, so a nap would clear it up. After an hour sleep.. then at that moment, i started to feel afraid because the same thing happened again, i’m ‘lost’ and i kept telling myself that i’m on a trip to a camping trip in Papar (located about 70km from my home) with my army cadet clubs (i’m sweating as well)… oh no, what am i going to do now. Do i have to take the train trip back and go home or…
When i mention this problem of mine to my so called ’sergeant’.. he replied to me angrily and said.. “yeah you’d better packed your things and head back home, you chicken bone head”. So the options he gave was very unsatisfied, i’m so dissappointed.. and i just carry on with the trip. My frustrations lead to more tiredness!
W’all packed all of our camping equipments and things we brought ourself for personal use to the camping location by foot. We walked almost 3 and a half hours to get there. Fuck.. i thought we’re all going to take a trip there by a pick up truck. Imagined at 1.30pm with 35 degree celcius of hot and humid air a long side of the road walking to the exact location. To me only.. i felt so dog tired compared to others, they thought the’re strong and young and an army is to be like these. I’m not sure it’s FUN though! I can’t join the FUN!
….to be continue
