Wow.. The last week of recruit life.. Feeling both excited and cannot bear to.. Hahaz.. There isnt much to blog this week so i shall compile it into one.. On monday we got footdrill competition and i think we did the best but we came in second.. Haizz.. Then we got maintence all the way so theres nothing much to talk about.. hahaz.. Tuesday i have to do a retest for my SOC.. which means i failed the other time.. Hahaz.. As i already confirmed that i can pass out even if i fail my SOC so i took the test without much pressure.. In the end i passed with the timing of 9.18mins.. Hahaz.. Although i didnt like the timing as the passing was 9.30mins but whatever its a pass ya.. hahaz.. Wednesday is the 3KM walk as a warm up for the next day.. It seems harder then i thought but whats best was in the night.. We go around sabo-ing our bunkmates as its the last night of our recruit life.. hahaz.. Poon became the princess as they pulled his bed out and make sort of like a tent with blankets.. I was sabo-ed too.. I heard they put socks on my face and tied my leg.. GRRR.. But thanks to Haikal as he took out for me.. Hahaz.. It was quite a memoriable night for all of us.. Hahaz.. .. Alrights on Thursday, the big day.. We got to walk the 6KM walk today then the pass out parade.. It was such a good feeling.. Wahaha.. Then we have to pack up our stuff and clean up our bunk like mad.. Hahaaz.. Alrights thats all for recruit life.. At night i met up with Chris, Johnathan, Jeremy and Poon for a K-box buffet session.. hahaz.. I will never go to K-box with Poon again as his singing is really like the monk chanting.. LOL.. It is the most horrible singing i heard in my life.. LOL.. What worst was he is always going for the mike which somehow make me have a headache.. LOL.. Alrights thats all for today and i m looking forward to tomorrows chalet.. Wahhaha..

Alrights heres alittle intro before starting this blog.. Time goes really fast man.. Its the last two weeks before POP.. WOHOO.. Its so hard to believe that its true.. Hahaz.. Will kinda miss recruit life as the people there is really fun and every night we have new stunts.. Also i will miss the instructors there and the encik definately.. Sighhhh.. Guess everything must come to an end.. No matter its good or bad.. And no matter how bad is something, it will surely have a good point depending on the way you see it.. Wonder whats life after recruit life.. Guess it will be real slack.. BUT BORING.. hahaz.. Thats only a guess.. Hahaz.. And no matter what i will never forget my recruit life.. Wahahaha.. Alrights for this week we have a really a good week.. Can say its both eventful, fruitful and slacky at the same time.. Hahaz..

Still cant believe its November already and i have serve the NS for almost two months.. Alrights this week was really fun as we did alot of different stuffs and we got 2 tests which made me really nervous but looking forward to that.. Ok lets start with today.. Went to the MO again because i was plainly quite lazy to do stuff and got a slight headache.. But i was thinking whether to.. In the end i did because our coperal said that we are going to get dirty and asked us to prepare to uniforms for the day.. Hahaz.. Lazy to wash my uniform ya.. So i skipped the dirty lesson and the footdrill.. After that it was all lesson nothing special for today except the MO.. hahaz..

Today we had SOC again but i couldnt do it as i m with the light duty state.. I really wanted to try it out as they were doing the actual thing and were timed.. Whats best was thursday is going to be the SOC test and i still cant do the balancing beam and jacobs ladder.. Was really worried i m going to fail because of these two stations so i asked my lieutenant if i could try it.. He said alrights and keep it low profile.. Wohoo.. The best Lieutenant ya.. hahaz.. Alrights after the SOC we got to do height rescue.. OMG its quite scary as we have to set up our own triple extension ladder and climb up to the second storey.. Whats worst was theres no ropes to support or what.. So its really kinda scary but fun ya.. It was a really good experience because other then in civil defense you dont really have the opportunity to do it ya.. hahaz..

Today was the slackest of the week as we went to mandai for some training.. We got to dig the ground and make a tunnel inside for disasters like building collapse or earthquakes.. I feel the practice was rather redundant as we took quite a long time to do it so the casuaties might have died by then.. hahaz.. The heaven blessed us as it rains after lunch and basically when it rains we cant do anything in mandai except for sleeping, slacking and talking.. WAHAHAHA.. Yupps guess thats all for today.. Slack but the experience was great.. Will return here again for the Final act next week.. It will surely be fun but my mind is all filled up by the SOC test we going to have tomorrow.. Hahaz..

6thnovember2008
SOC test.. OMG its here.. hahaz.. I told myself 1st thing in the morning no matter what happen just do it and make it the last SOC test for my life.. Soon we are on the test ground and we are about to run the 700m.. The whistle is blown and its time for everything.. I tried concentrating on the test and thinking of one thing at a time.. Soon i m in the SOC station ground and it really different after the run.. I got difficulties with my arm strength and almost failed at the swinging trainer.. Haizzz.. surprisingly i cleared the balancing beam and the jacob ladder with ease.. Hahaz.. Guess i put too much concentration and it and fighting with my mind everyday with it.. In the end i came in 10th place but didnt know if i passed the test.. Come what may ya.. hahaz..

7thnovember2008
Alrights today is the day of the fireman test and of course the day of book out also.. WAHAHHA.. We get to do senario base height rescue.. I was the base support for this time.. hahaz.. Its really fun this time and i can feel that unity makes work easier.. Hahaz.. Soon its time for the test and i think i could pass it.. After the test its time forrrrrrr BOOK OUTTTTTT!!!!!! Wohooo... Its quite special this book out as we went for pizza with our coperal and its really good to eat with a coperal.. As at least you know he dont hate you.. Hahaz..

8thnovember2008
Went out with my bunkmates for DOTA again today.. Its really feels different at home and in LAN.. And i started to enjoy being in LAN.. Hahaz.. But sadly we only played two games as one of the group have to go off early.. So i and Boon went to do some shopping before departing our seperate ways.. We went to gramophone for some DVDs.. I cant believe i spend like 65bux on DVDs.. hahaz.. But spending is fun.. WAHAHHAA.. I should reward myself like this every week after the locked up freedom in camp.. Its not as though its a torture camp.. Its fun.. Really fun but just lack of freedom and sleep.. hahazz.. Alrights thats all for this week and i guess next week will also be fun and happening as we are going to the chemical room and monday, Final act on tuesday, OC night on thursday, booking out early on friday for bravo again and a chalet on saturday.. Thinking of it already makes me excited.. Also i have to cherish the time we have in the bunk cause after 2 weeks i wont have the life of it anymore.. Its like happy and sad at the same time.. Happy because of the POP, sad because its like the end of the bonding we have.. I guess i will really miss recruit life and i cant believe i actually said that.. LOL.. =D

Happy deepavali everyone.. And its a book in day for me.. Haizz.. Come to think of all the events line up for me this week in SCDF it should be a short week.. As on wednesday we have a commanders parade and IPPT test.. Alrights nothing much to say for today so i shall skip it to the next day..


28thoctober2008
Today we have our SOC trainning first thing in the morning and we are to try the two most scary obstacle as in for me.. Hahaz.. Its the balancing beam and the jacobs ladder.. I swear i m afraid.. My legs were trembling hard and i cant seemed to calm myself down.. Haiz.. Guess i have to overcome this fear or i would fail the test ya.. hahaz... Alrights after the SOC theres nothing special except my instructor Zul told me that i have been selected for medic interview.. I was so shock because i didnt put it as any choice in my choice list.. But heard being medic is one of the best vocation in SCDF as we get to book out everyday and also its one of the most slackest job.. So ya i decided to try it out..


29thoctober2008
Its the day of the commanders parade and everyone were so nervous.. As the uniform have to be in tip top condition and also we have to keep still for the longest time.. So we got to be mentally prepared.. Thank god the parade ended fast and also the commander praised us Bravo company as the best company in footdrills and everything and said we had put in alot of effort.. Wahaha.. At that moment it really feels good.. After everything its time for the IPPT and this is the results i got:


Pull up: 8
Sit ups: 43
Standing Board Jump: 232
Shutter Run: 10.1
2.4KM Run: 11.20mins

Hmm actually for this test i was thinking of just passing the test as it may affect the vocation that i will go and i want a slack one.. But i also feel like doing the best that i can.. But somehow i think i chose to do it the best hat i can.. Hahaz.. So i achieved silver again for this test with some improvements for almost all of the stations except the pull ups because i was still hesistating.. I m really happy with my results for this IPPT as i see my PTP stage wasnt a waste and see myself growing.. Hope to have better results the next time though..

30thoctober2008
Hmm the 1st thing in the morning we were told that we are rewarded with an early book out from our commander.. Wohooo.. But after that it was SOC again.. And i fail on the jacob ladder again.. Cant seems to overcome it.. Roarrr.. I will overcome it one day no matter what.. Hahaz.. Its also kinda slack for today as after the SOC we have all the lesson and lessons are slack with lieutenant Quek around.. He is the slackest i swear.. Hahaz.. 1hour and 40mins lesson he can made it into a 15mins one and slack all the way.. LOL..

31stoctober2008
Book out day.. Yeahhhh.. A long awaited day.. hahaz.. It started with footdrill and suddenly my lance coperal told me that i m the only one that pass the IPPT in my whole platoon and i was shocked.. LOL.. After that it was the most tiring trainning of all.. The ncb suit trainning.. We had difficulty in breathing in that suit because its designed to save people from hazardous gas.. I almost cant take it in that suit as its really humid and hard to breathe.. They gave us a competition as well.. We were given exercise till people give up as they wanted to test whos the last 3 man standing.. I endured to the last four as the last test was running and my suit wasnt in a good condition as my pants couldnt be clipped.. Well at least i know i have done my best and i had no regrets.. Hahaz.. Alrights i guess thats all for this week in camp and i think its the shortest week but the most tired one.. Hahaz..
