tHe pAsT 3 MoNtHsss..
this is a long entry.. do endure!
well.. life could have been more simple if i havent choose to be in ocs.. but i made the choice and volunteer to be mentally and physically tortured.. haha!
for the past 3 months, i wake up everyday looking out of the window praying that it is raining so that the morning exercise will be cancel and i dun have to run! well.. after that.. breakfast is served! and it will always be kaya and butter wif bread.. and a cup of hot milo.. thats wat i've been having for the past 3 months.. but im so used to it that it still taste the same as the first time i had it!
wel.. we will then have training and training.. theory or physical... all the way till watever time they like.. and of cos.. we do have break for lunches and dinner.. if time permits.. we will have a little admin time.. and wat do we do during admin time?
 sleep
 Eat
 And some WRESTLING!
outfield trainings have been both physical and mentally demanding.. with the lack of sleep and time.. we had to absorb as much as we could within a short span of time.. but nevertheless.. it was a test of endurance and determination.. im glad i got past them getting tougher and more mentally prepared for the challenges ahead...
training outfield is not only abt learning things.. it is learning in a very dirty way.. dirty finger nails.. no toilet.. "public" latrine.. no brushing of teeth.. haha! u name it.. and we've done it.. hahahaaz!
 keep digging
 chiong ar!
 time for a break!
after all these exercises.. its all abt standard obstacle course (soc) and ippt.. the soc was really tough for mi.. i clocked 11min 30 sec in bmt.. meaning i will have to cut 3 mins in order to pass it.. i was so scare i couldnt make it.. so on the day of the test.. i ran my heart out... almost outta breath.. i was jogging hard.. but my friends told mi i was taking a stroll round the park! the feeling of passing is way beyond description.. the moment i crossed the finishing line.. i collapsed on the side of the pavement.. and all the while i was thinking.. am i gonna die.. cos i really couldnt breath at all!
ippt wasnt worrying for me as im always able to get the silver as required.. i think for my pro term.. i will be able to reach gold.. its all in the mind!
well.. now to the highlight of the service term.. social night! it was an event many of us have been looking for.. the social night marks the end of a tiring term and it is also a fareware party for ppl like mi who are leaving for support arms.. for those who dont know.. this is an event that i think most of us will remember for a lifetime... well.. if not everyone.. at least for me.. its the milestone of a painful yet enriching journey..
i was quite disappointed that the event was to be held in the cadets' mess.. i have always hoped that it is somewhere else.. ok.. the day went really shitty as we were only allowed to book out at 3pm.. and things became really bad when we left at 4pm.. i have to rush to collect my car.. and had actually planned to pick up my date, sheryl.. but it was too rush.. so i had to ask her to take a cab back home..
it all din end here.. i rushed home and spent barely 10 mins before i have to leave home to pick up daniel, my platoon mate and of cos.. sheryl.. drove really fast and recklessly.. no excuses abt being reckless.. i will not drive recklessly again!
the event was actually quite boring.. but i would like to give credits to the organizing committee for they were given only limited resources and time to get things done.. and specials credits to amarpalllllll singh for entertaining us throughout the night...
anyway.. all was familiar with the games.. lucky draw.. games.. more luck draw.. and more games... haha! after the whole event.. we went to river valley to have a little bit of supper.. and then it was the end of everything.. which means.. home sweet home..
 my platoon mates
well.. before i finish all these bullshitting.. i have to take a little space to thank my lovely date, sheryl.. im glad i was able to share this night with u.. firstly, i would like to apologise for having to ask u to take a cab back home.. secondly, thanks for being my date and for being a great company in a boring yet memorable event.. lastly.. i hope my surprise in the end did lift up the mood a little.. well.. if u ask mi.. i think it did.. cos i saw that beautiful smile that i've imagined.. once again.. thank you..
sheryl and me
this marks the end of my service term.. 6 more months to endure.. and on the 2nd of jan.. i will be leaving for brunei.. its not gonna be long.. but nevertheless.. i will miss singapore.. till then... bye! |
