Reservists.

" Wah lao eh, gin ah gin ! Later no more EPL liao! ", remarked an anxious-to-finish-shit-work reservist.

They are poor things man. Pardon me if I'm wrong, they actually used about 10,000 sandbags to carry out their exercise. So for the past week, they have been coolies, ferrying sandbags on their shoulders tonner to tonner, slope to slope.
As one reservist expressed through his humming of the Wu Suo Nan Yang song (Old SBC show featuring our forefathers as coolies), the whole thing was pretty much in that spirit except that it was significantly easier compared to rice sacks and the reservists don't do it close to a lifespan.

I'll be doing just that when my reservist term comes. Standing gate, carrying sandbags, shooting blanks imaginatively. Then I'll be counting down. 1st ICT, 9 more to go...... 10th ICT, ROD loh !
It's kinda sad that I won't be a driver for my reservice, unless it's a low-key one.
