this will be a quick post before i book in tonight.
some particular angel has complained that my blog is nothing but full of army lingos which she cant understand. owell.. i'll try to make my blog as laymen as possible ok! alrights.. cant really remember what happened this week. but the highlights were certainly IPPT! ok for you guys who dont know what IPPT is.. it's the same as napfa lah.. yup i had this trial test and i got a gold! WOOHOO morale booster.. and hey my 2.4 improved from the start of the course.. from 10:30 to 9:40.. almost improved by 1 minute! so happy :) hopefully i can maintain or improve my timing...
next will be our floatation exercise! yup.. it has been claimed that our vehicles are able to drive on water.. so the instructors drove our vehicles down to the water.. and it actually floated! like wow! we stood on top of our vehicles and they certainly felt like boats rather than vehicles le. and then came the fun part. they told us to simulate that our vehs were sinking and we had to jump down from our vehs into the waters. like WOW! swimming! :D actually we wouldnt have the :D on our faces if not for the scorching hot weather. but owell. since we had to do it might as well enjoy it! so each of us jumped down and wheeeeeeee it felt super cooling! i didnt feel like getting my body off the waters lah. but what to do.. the instructors were barking again..
and that's where the sian part comes in. when we got back on shore we realised that everyone of us was freaking wet and cold and bogged down by the water. esp on our boots which were so freaking heavy thanks to the amt of water that was inside.. it felt like a fish tank. and when we removed our boots to drain out the water we were like OMG SO MUCH WATER! sians..
haha basically that's all for our floatation exercise. the next highlight (or rather, lowlight) of the week was of course.. GUARD DUTY! what made it different from the previous GD was that it was 24 hrs! like WHAT THE HELL... from sat morning to sunday morning lah.. me and ben were together prowling again. we had 4 shifts. from 1000 to 1200, 1600 to 1800, 2200 to 2400 and from 0400 to 0600. the 1st 2 shifts were ok.. we were still abit hyper. both of us when reaching the stadium were still pretty energetic and we had still enough strength to do abit of lowrope. of course it's the best time to practise our SOC.. we had our long 4 SBO and rifle.. the only thing that was missing was our helmet. lol.
but by the time night came we were like pretty tired le. just wanted to complete the thing asap and go back to guard room to sleep. haha we were pretty zoned out already! what to do.. lol. and i got super little sleep lah. by the time i reached home today at around 9+ i ate breakfast and slept at 10+. only to see the light again at 5+ 6pm. like what the hell my day is gone..
alrights. gotta book in..
