I was in 96 batch leh
The scariest thing in Brunei jungle are the trees.. They have thorns all over!the brunei jungle all around temburong and laikun camp is ya, uncleaned one, knowning how much history that went into the place and the stuffs that had happened.... these overseas training really must pantang a bit... even the bunks looks scary if u r alone inside... but thailand i find ok cos maybe the vibe the saiyok camp gives me, the spacious bunks and always will have ppl around...
Not every 3rd eye can see all ghosts, gods or demons.Sad to say, I think none of us are born with the special eyesight for the entities.
And the one with the special eyesight dun want to share too much.
End up we have only bit and pieces of the stories.
I can't rmb clearly but the resting bunk is near the ferry terminal. Mine is on the new BMTC, not the same old place you guys are discussing.I encountered the flowery smell during one of the road march.
It was after dinner and on the way back.
I was too tired to think straight.
But, the flowery smell is too strong liao.
Did not think much at that time cos the body is damn tired.
Getting back to camp is the only thing in your mind.
Your alter is in Camp 1 or Camp 3 ?
Maybe someone brought jasmine shower foamI can't rmb clearly but the resting bunk is near the ferry terminal. Mine is on the new BMTC, not the same old place you guys are discussing.
The flowery smell, without fail will smell every now and then when we're roaming abt camps at night, not just Tekong. Never thought much of it either, other than the rumours of it being supernatural in origin. I just thought it could be actual flowers.
The strewn toys on the floor is a true curiosity, though the purpose is pretty obvious. Because I've never seen anything like that elsewhere. Altars are usual, can find them in any camp located where you've described.If I remember correctly, for old camp 1 there was an altar setup behind cookhouse. Those who did prowling may have noticed it. No toys I could remember though
In fact I have seen similar altar setup in other camps, behind cookhouse and sometimes at MT line.
Not sure whether the new camp is as colorful as the new old camp.I can't rmb clearly but the resting bunk is near the ferry terminal. Mine is on the new BMTC, not the same old place you guys are discussing.

Tales like this are the true horror stories...Doing the damn BCTC was crazy considering the physical conditions of all the reservists.
I kana heat stroke during the exercise.
Imagine I dun even kana HS for the whole of my 2.5 years.
There was a water area that we dipped to wash off the mud.
The joke is most of us are hit by rashes and the water area was reported to have some viral infection after that.
We dun really have any rebels in my NS platoon.Tales like this are the true horror stories...
The things they put you guys through even after you're past your prime, thinking you are still 18yo.
They tekan lao peng also not much effect They guai lan, you guys would've jitao mutinied for real, and nothing will get carried out.We dun really have any rebels in my NS platoon.
We just have our fun of cursing and sweating when we saw the bunk conditions.
The instructors also never really tekan us cos we did not make things difficult for them.
Just that the dumb course is really too damn xiong.
I having my NS days late so the instructors know that we are "over-aged" liao.
And those annoying leechesThe scariest thing in Brunei jungle are the trees.. They have thorns all over!
Hi lao jiao!!!Golf coy, Infantry Training Depot, 1982 here. We were 1st or 2nd batch at Tekong. Old Steel pot helmets. Temasek green uniforms (tucked in), starched (when worn as No. 3) and polished boots. At that time there were still civilian villagers living in Tekong.
the char siew pau alway out of shapeWe had Char Siew Pau for nightsnack. From Kong Guan. We had them outside the bunk along the drain, we had them inside the bunk when it was raining. One time we had them at parade square when for some reason mosquito fogging at the bunk was done at night
Yes, sometimes pau for breakfast. Lor mai kai in army only at canteen or in form of combat ration after the hard tack and pork cubes combat ration phased out
Mentioned in earlier posts, during my sergeants' BMT time, the version was the recruit just suddenly found outside the bunk without blood, but body intact. One of our sergeants confessed they added 'stand by organs' to the story to make it spookier as my BMT coincides with lunar seventh month
i kena breakfast one is cold **the char siew pau alway out of shape
We are still quite "tamed".They tekan lao peng also not much effect They guai lan, you guys would've jitao mutinied for real, and nothing will get carried out.
NSmen are truly big fugs.
This point in time still got private taxis plying Tekong or not?Golf coy, Infantry Training Depot, 1982 here. We were 1st or 2nd batch at Tekong. Old Steel pot helmets.

It was completed in 1999. I was Jan 99 batch in Camp 3. Shifted over to the new facilities midway. Got first dips on the new bunks/beds and facilities....can still remember the watercooler machines tasted of cement and dust last time prob from the construction. LolI didn't know old camp 1 was still in use in 1998. I thought the current bmtc was completed in the late 90s.
