Like most people say, in NS you get to meet all kind of people. I can’t disagree any further on this statement. Let me introduce this guy, hopefully it doesn’t stink up my blog.

His name is XXX, shouldn’t be that evil to that extent of revealing his name in the blogosphere, but he has some nicknames that you can follow. They include, “the force”, “el-stinko”, “smelly boy”, etc..

Well, from what you see from the nicks given to him, instant instincts tells you that he’s not someone that is very pleasant to the nose.

Here goes.

I shall address him to be Mr. smell in my blog entry below.

Mr Smell has a distinct BO that one could tell from a distance of 10metres away. Well, coming from a Bp squad, sometimes excessively fat people have a intolerable stench on their body due to the sweat glands and such. We all understand that, so the best possible way to minimize such smell impacts would be to change clothes more often, or to bathe more often ain’t that right?

But due to the nature of Mr. Smelly, he’s a downright stubborn boy. During break times where people usually go take a shower to prepare for the next activity in hand, he never does that, or should i say seldom. He would just sit down beside his bed and quickly change into the next activity’s attire with a stupid alarm clock on his hand.

Well, i forgot to mention that he’s the No.1 paranoid in the squad. He follows exactly what the officers tells us, and is always the first to fall in. Alright, an example would be good..

Let say the time required to fall in is 0900hrs, when we are being dismissed from the Mess/Cookhouse at 0755hrs, he would he changed into his No.3(full uniform) by 0805hrs, while the rest of us are still in singlets and shorts.

Well, any idiot would know that the full uniform makes people sweat more and will stink up the shirt if there is excessively sweat on it. But he just doesn’t seem to bother.

Moreover, he has the fastest flow of sweat that i have ever seen in my life. Standing in attention for a mere 5 mins, you can see his whole face filled with beads of sweat, while the others are still dry and smelling good.

It most probably due to his high level of tensed up feeling and paranoids that make him sweat so easily. 

Furthermore, he sleeps in his PT Kit, which is the kit that we wear for Physical training sessions, which this makes the situation much more worst when he sweats when he sleep on this back. Many complained that even in the morning when the sun is not even up yet they are able to smell his odour while walking behind him or standing behind him to brush teeth. Although he might claims that he does change his shirt, but wearing the PT attire to sleep does make the polo t-shirt smelly over the night.

To sum up, it’s not 1 or 2 reasons that make up Mr. Smell. It’s a combination of the most deadly factors that make up the stench, which not many people is capable of doing so.

1. untolerable BO
2. refuses to change new sets of clothings
3. refuses to bathe
4. always feeling so stressed up
5. stubborn nature of not listening to advices

Well, its not like he is not told of his unbearable odour coming out from his body. In the initial stages, we all thought that we shouldn’t be so bad to tell him right straight in the face but to hint him here and there about the intolerable odour that exists on his body. But it seems that it doesn’t work well at all. Despite all the advices of telling him to change and bathe more frequently, he turns them down on deaf ears and even rebuts them with some stupid logic like bathing too often will cause a person to catch a cold easily.

It has now reached a stage where by people have gave up advising him on what to do, since he doesn’t want to comply with what we says, we have no choice but to take actions. It is interesting that whenever we fall in, the people that are standing around him often have difficulty breathing, try marching behind someone like him. I bet you would visit the MO (medical officer) very soon.

Also, during meal times, often the seats beside him would be empty. The very simple reason that the Mess food is already bad enough to consume, additional fillings like such smell would just make us puke out the food than to eat it.

It is bad to a certain degree that there are some that bring air fresheners to class to follow his trail.

You guys must be thinking, who is the unlucky fellow that is sleeping beside him in the bunk. I don’t know if i’ve aggravated him in my previous life or whatsoever, but that unlucky fellow is me. But being a bastard, i am, i have already thought of good plans to keeping myself alive. Stuffs like sleeping in another room, on another bed when the guy is on MC, or not there. Or just spamming the air fresheners around my region.

I give my word that the degree of “bastardness” from me would increase exponentially if this doesn’t improve. That’s how NS works.

Poor ME!
