I look forward to my two-week reservist training every year.

Nothing beats the feeling of knowing that, for two weeks, I can put aside the stresses of everyday life and focus solely on my military obligations.

Can go back and slack

I enjoy the break from the routine of my daily life. I can forget about my job, my family, and all the other commitments that usually fill my days.

Instead, I use the two weeks to basically just rot and go with the flow of the program that are planned for us and just care about nothing other than what to eat from the canteen and where to go with my buddies during nights out.

Good catch up with friends whom I spent two years with

I also look forward to the camaraderie of the reservist training. It’s a great time to be able to catch up with friends and buddies who I may not have seen in a while.

We get to share stories and experiences and get to know each other better. It’s great to be able to come together and share our military experiences, and it’s a great way to strengthen our bond and our commitment to the military.

It also helps me to build connections and find opportunities with people from different walks of life who may have something to offer me in real life.

Some training might be tough, but its still worth going for

Many people would say that reservist is very useless as it disrupts our normal lives and sometimes when the training gets tough, they would complain and say that they are not NSFs anymore and there is no need to go through with such tough training.

While I agree with them to a certain extent, I would rather go through all these at times because it is just a follow through motion activity and once we’re done with it means we’re done.

It is really a chill two weeks for me, to get away from all the nonsense outside.

I had just started my new job with the company and, so far, it had been a rather disappointing experience. I had such high hopes for this job when I applied, but things were not turning out the way I had expected.

The job was supposed to be a great opportunity to hone my skills and gain valuable experience, yet I felt like I was stuck in a dead-end job with no real prospects for growth.

No career progression, tasks are all mundane

The tasks I was assigned were mundane and repetitive and my boss showed no interest in giving me any feedback or helping me develop.

To make matters worse, I had recently discovered that the company’s CEO was sending a spy to the office to assess employee morale.

It was clear to me that this was an attempt to gain insight into how the employees felt about their jobs and if anyone was unhappy.

Told the spy that I was unhappy with the CEO

This was my chance to finally make my feelings heard and I decided to take it. I waited until the spy was making his rounds and then I approached him.

I told him that I was unhappy with the job and that I was not getting the support or opportunity for growth that I had expected.

At first, I thought the spy was going to be sympathetic to my plight. However, his expression quickly changed when I mentioned the CEO’s name.

He informed me that the CEO is away of everyone’s response and attitude towards work, and I should count myself lucky that I still have a job.

I was shocked and embarrassed by his response. I had been so sure that speaking up for myself would make a positive difference, but instead it had only made things worse.

I tried to explain myself but the spy was not interested in listening. He simply told me that I should be grateful for the job and that I should stop complaining.

Felt like I jepoardised my job

I suddenly felt like I had made a huge mistake in speaking up and that I had put my job in jeopardy.

I spent the rest of the day feeling angry and disappointed. I wanted to quit and find a better job, but I knew that was not possible.

So I just carried on as if nothing had happened, trying to pretend like I was happy with my job.

I had just finished dinner with my girlfriend and we were walking home. The night had been mostly uneventful, but I had been feeling a bit strange all day.

I had been having a strange dream the past few weeks and I was having trouble getting it out of my head.

Dreamt that I dated my gf’s twin sister after she died

In the dream, my girlfriend had died and I had decided to date her twin sister. I felt guilty for even thinking about it, but it was a recurring dream and I couldn’t shake it.

When we got home, I decided to open up about the dream to my girlfriend. I figured it would be better to get it off my chest and talk about it, rather than bottle it up inside.

I told her about the dream and how I felt guilty for even thinking about it. I expected her to understand, but instead she got angry.

She yelled at me and said I was being selfish and insensitive, and that she couldn’t believe I would even think about such a thing.

She then stormed off, leaving me feeling embarrassed and ashamed.

Apologised to her but everything was never quite the same after

I tried to apologize and explain that it was just a dream, but she wouldn’t listen. She was too angry and hurt to hear what I was saying.

I knew I had messed up, and I felt terrible. I wanted to make it up to her, but I wasn’t sure how.

The next day, I called my girlfriend to apologize again. This time, she seemed a little calmer and more understanding.

We talked for a while and she eventually agreed to forgive me.

However, things were never quite the same between us after that. We still went out and had fun, but there was always a certain tension present.

I could tell she was still upset with me, and I felt terrible for what I had said.

Fast forward to a few months later, and my girlfriend had finally had enough.

She told me she was breaking up with me because she couldn’t get past the fact that I had once said I would date her twin sister if she died.

She said that ever since that, the image of me and her twin sister getting it on kept flooding her mind and she could not take it.

It was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. I had been dating my girlfriend for a few months and we were finally ready to take the next step and spend the night together.

We were both excited and I was ready to show her how much I cared for her.

Had a great time together

When I arrived at her house, I was nervous but also excited. We had a great evening together, talking, laughing and getting to know each other a little better.

We had a few drinks together as well and I drank more than what I usually did which made me wanted to go to the toilet to relieve myself.

However, I held it in till the end of the night as I was enjoying my gf’s company

Accidentally peed on her bed

At the end of the night, I had to use the restroom and so I went to the bathroom.

I was quite high when I made my way to the bathroom in her room and was a little oblivious to the surroundings given that it was also quite dark in her room.

Little did I know at the time that I had accidentally peed on her bed. I had been so focused on not making a mess in the bathroom that I hadn’t noticed that I hadn’t even gone to the toilet at all.

Instead, I had simply stood up and relieved myself right on her bed.

When I realized what I had done, I was horrified. I felt like a complete idiot and I wanted to crawl away and never show my face again.

I was scared to look at my girlfriend and I was sure she would be angry and disgusted with me.

My girlfriend, however, was surprisingly understanding. She didn’t get angry with me and instead comforted me and told me that accidents happen.

She even helped me clean up the mess and we both laughed about it afterwards.

It’s a feeling that no man wants to experience. After a date with my latest romantic interest, I returned home with a burning sensation on my kkj. I knew immediately the cause of this sensation, and it was not a pleasant one.

I had had unprotected ‘piak-piak’ with my date.

We were both super into it, till I got tempted not to wear a ‘helmet’

I could remember the moment when I had made the decision to go without a ‘helmet’. We were both super into each other and eager to take things further, but I had hesitated when it came to taking out the ‘helmet’.

I was so caught up in the moment that I decided to just go ahead and have unprotected ‘piak-piak’.

It was a stupid mistake and one that I would soon come to regret.

Suddenly experienced ‘burning’ sensation

The burning sensation on my kkj was the first warning sign that something was wrong.

I knew that I had to take action right away and so I went to my local pharmacy and purchased some over-the-counter anti-bacterial cream. I applied it to my kkj and then waited for the burning sensation to subside.

Unfortunately, the burning sensation did not go away.

Visited a doctor, diagnosed to have STI

I decided to take the next step and visit my doctor. After a thorough examination, my doctor diagnosed me with an infection known as trichomoniasis.

This is a STI that can be spread through unprotected ‘piak-piak’.

My doctor prescribed me a course of antibiotics to treat the infection and advised me to abstain from ‘piak-piak’ until the course of antibiotics had been completed.

I was horrified and embarrassed that my own carelessness had led me to this situation. But I was determined to get better and so I followed my doctor’s advice and completed the course of antibiotics.

Made full recovery, now die die also must wear ‘helmet’

Fortunately, the burning sensation did eventually go away and I made a full recovery.

Since then, I have become much more aware of the potential risks associated with unprotected ‘piak-piak’.

I now always make sure that I use a ‘helmet’ with my partners, no matter how much I may be tempted to go without one.
