it is almost the end of my reservist training and one lesson i have regrettably managed to take away from this eight-day, military-morphing session is how foul-smelling one can be when donning on the army uniform. a fellow specialist of mine (name not to be disclosed, but i do hope you know who you are for the sake of future aromatic-smelling pleasantries) created a severe level of distress for my olfactory system over the week when we were in-camp together.
for someone who's sweat pores seemed to be working in over-gear, i am sure that my pot-bellied comrade has been informed of the crime of odor that he perpetually commits. yet, the pungent smell emits from him irregardless. it was so bad, at one time, i didn't have to turn around to know that he was behind just because i caught a whiff of his funk.
i would have overlooked it had we been out in the fields camping overnight for a couple of days, but the odor (i could envisage toxic, greenish odor with the hazard symbol of the skull-and-crossbones billowing from him) came when he was dressed in the green uniform for just a couple hours. and i am also fairly confident that during those hours, it was pretty much inert activity. the question thus lies upon how did he ever manage to be a tromping sewage?
i guess at the end of the day, it all boils down to negligence of hygiene. maybe i should buy him a sweat stick. or make that a dozen.

ooo, how does it feel to smell the fresh air now?
hmm... think you probably suffer a lot from that smell. haha~ when he not notice pour perfume on his uniform? XD
Erm, I think the "Snake powder" would work better and cheaper too !
I couldn't go anywhere without my snake powder when I was with the forces. Kills odours, repel crawlies, dries my feet nicely, anti-bacteria powder in an unknown bunk....
LOL.... i can go on and on
dont be mean!!!
people like that will just evaporate into nothing if u spray deodorant on them.
d
GOSH... is that all the bitchiness...=x LOL but well sometimes need to bear with such ppl ba...=/ no choice rite... hahah i got it once oso...
I bet you wanted to stay on for several more days and enjoy the aromatic adventure. Welcome back to the outside world.
there was an article once mentioning that in japan the trains are so packed but no one complains of odour because everyone is so clean and conscious, not to mention being considerate to others. But try doing that on the MRT in singapore,there would be tons of people i do not want to go near.im in tune with your agony.
I too always have a dose of that stench in the MRT. Well, what can I do? I have been used to it, and sadly, that smell sometimes sticks to your own clothes!! They all smell the same leh! Well I must say Filipinos are very conscious of their hygiene, why can't we? Aiyooh, when my Filipino girlfriend paid me a visit, she was nauseating inside the trains and buses, so we just decided to take a cab instead. :-) It's not an issue of racism, but bottomline is... we must all give importance to personal hygiene :D
Your fellow spec probably have some bacteria problem that's causing the stench. Shaving off arm pit hair and any other excess body hair helps usually. Telling him that might be tricky though :P
Des, u are not referring to me ya??? heheheheeee............. :D
hahaha... omg. sometimes it's really really very bad. and you really really cannot take it to the extend that you can vomit right in front of him. and yet he still won't know that he actually induced it.
well, we just have to learn to be more civic-minded like the japanese, i guess.
"Irregardless"? You might want to edit this entry!

ahahaha, count me in. "irregardless" kills me. ahahaha :p
(tyc) anything is definitely better. hehe
(rex) i think maybe he is really unaware of it that's why lah, yet i also don't want to be the bad person to inform him about it.
(piggiewiggie) i was looking at my headboard and i saw the prickly heat (snake powder) there. what a coincidence! can you use it as a condiment too?
(d) haha, d, i think you more bitchy leh,

(baldovin) you got it once? as in you also have b.o. before? or you experienced smelling it on someone?
(leo) haha, where's my kylie's concert tix? not fair. =[
(dancer) tell me about it, i bet you are either a cab person or you drive right?
(anonymous) totally agree. some ppl are aware of it, but yet they can't help it even with help. i guess it's just a case of bad luck, not bad hygiene.
(ck) any ideas on how to stick the idea across to him? perhaps buying some wax peelers and give it to him, on the pretense that its a current trend in japan that guys shave pits and girls go gaga over it?
(anonymous) not referring to you? hmm, must identify yourself to me first leh.
(763092) i also think it's because there's cold weather in japan. singapore is hot all year long, so i guess that doesn't help much in minimizing sweat smells.
(anonymousES) actually this "irregardless" word is quite debatable. go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless. can't believe this word actually sparked a controversy before.
Well, for the sake of your nasal healthy, treat him to a Brazilian waxing session for X'mas. LOL.
(ck) i heard strip (as in the name of the waxing shop) is pretty good. i could consider that option.. hah.
That's a pretty suggestive name for a waxing shop.
I sure hope your friend's not a wimp like me. I let one of my girl friends tried one of those waxing strips on my shin once. Let's just say her neighbours got well acquainted with my voice.
u did identify my smell loh hahahahaa...endup i became yr topic in yr blog here !!! Wowwwwwwwwwww...cheers!
