On Wednesday 17th January 2007, it could be another day that I did not want to wake up. It was the day that I have to go to student military camp or “Kol-Chon-Kai”. I packed my stuffs all night I slept at 1 a.m. and woke up at 4.30 a.m. I had my imagination in my mind “how terrible it can be?” but today the answer was coming.
I arrived at a meeting point at 6.00 a.m. and waited for a bus to go. All I thought when the bus was leaving the meeting point (Suan-Jao-Chead) was home. I had 30 ABAC student friends go with me. It took us almost three hours to be in Karnjanaburee province. We went to the place that Thailand used to have a war with Myanmar which we call “The nine armies’ war”. We went there to listen to the history about the nine armies’ war. Then we went to the real military camp. The weather was so damn hot! As you know, Thailand has two seasons which are hot summer and very hot summer. We went to see a real field that we will have to shoot real bullets with a real M-16 on the day after. There was nothing much today. First I thought it doesn’t that bad but how could I know about another four days. I got a good tent for sleeping and the weather at night was very cool anyway it’s better than hot. The worst thing on this day could be I did not take a shower because army teachers did not let us. I think they want to save a water bill (just kidding).

Thursday 18th January 2007, it was 4.30 a.m. and it was a time to wake up. It was very cold in this morning. We departed from the base at 5.00 a.m. to a training shooting field. We had a breakfast there. My group had to wait for almost three hours before we got a shot. I shoot thirty bullets but they appeared on my target just six of them. Now you know how suck I am! When we finished shooting, we walked back to the base for lunch. In the afternoon, we went to a place where it has ten stages for us to go through, such as a ten feet wall, wood bridge and rope stair. It was fun. After that, I went on a mountain called “Kol-Chon-Kai”(or crashed chicken mountain in English). The mountain is so steep. It took me lots of energy to go up there. Its distance is two kilometer. There is an image of the Buddha and four bells at the top of the mountain. I was very tired but today we were allowed to take a shower. It was a ten minutes shower that pleased me. Nothing happened at night just sleeping, pretty tired.
