Graduation Day...

Sianz was lazy to blog last sat.. cos i know i gonna book out today so might as well blog today.. Last week went for live range, IFC test and AGC... on the 1st day of live range, i was so disappointed with myself.. seem like my weapon is not zero properly.. almost miss half of my shots.. was so tired on that day.. we draw arms at 5.00am and sleep at 2.30am.. wow almost 22hrs.. but thank god that my arms doesn't give me much "IA" problem.. not like some of my friends where they have lots of "IA" problem.. on the 2nd day we woke up at 5.30am so u can see that we slept for abt 3 hrs.. all of us were tired not too sure if we can actually concentrate.. before our live range start, there is a chance for those people who think that their arms are not zero properly.. So Gary went for this zero session and i became his assistant.. haha.. "Manual zero-ing" had to run to and back from the target and bring the target board.. Quite tired but it ok.. somehow it gd for SOC..

After that i go for my live range.. Quite contented that i did not miss a single for my day shoot (not like the day b4 where i missed like..erm forget it dun said liao quite malu).. So happy.. on my way to marksmen.. after our day shoot, we had abt 4 hours of rest b4 we began the night shoot.. most of the platoon slept during that 4 hours.. but for the night shoot, i miss one and had 2 "IA".. damn wasted 3 bullets.. and also not sure if i missed any for my 50m prone down shoot.. cos the target board did not light up nor go down.. cos i feel that i had hit them.. maybe there is some problem with the target board..

Next Day we had GAC.. where we practise throwing grenade.. ofcos not the real ones.. the real one we still had to wait for another few more weeks.. did leopard crawl for this.. abit tired cos it the 1st time.. the next day we had IFC test.. we learn how to take cover and camou ourselves... Quite fun cos we learned new things.. can't shared what we learned.. lolz top secret.!!

Anyway.. went to gym last sat.. and realise that my standing board jump had improve liao.. by abit..and ytd we had training for sbj, pull ups and shuttle run.. yes..!! my sbj almost hit 2.3m.. this might be short for some guys.. but somehow it far for me.. cos i nv make it beyond 2.2m b4 NS.. now only about 4-6 cm short from Gold.. and about 10cm to get A for sbj.. haha.. =)

Later this evening is my graduation day.. going back to SP and meet up with some of my classmates.. =) on ya today actually is my 1st day of field camp but got excuse.. sianz seriously i dun feel like missing it.. but bo bian graduation is once in a life one.. tmr onwards stay in jungle till next monday.. haha..

Hmm had my Ippt Cat test ytd.. quite happy with my result.. got a sliver all thank to my standing board jump.. all five stations got 5 points except SBJ where i got 3 points. Sianz can jump only 225cm.. not bad la.. atleast can see some improvement.. my PC wan me to jump atleast 234cm for the next Ippt test.. so that i can get a gold.. if i can't get a gold.. i gonna sign extra.. which mean volunteer for extra duty.. haha.. anyway broke my two personal best record.. i did 12 pull up for the 1st time in my life and ran my fastest 2.4km with 9.33mins (improved by 5 secs) hmm.. atfirst thought that can go below 9.30 but who knows during the 5th round, i got sitch bo bian had to slow down.. for NS we have to go under 9.45 in order to get gold award..

During this week, we had our 6km route march with full battle order (SBO, Field pack, M16) which was slightly different from the previous ones cos longer distance mah... We marched to sispec camp and rested for 15 mins. Abit tired but still can hang on.. along the way we sang and talk cock.. Fun!!

Passed my TH test.. erm.. then went for IMT lessson.. IMT is like shooting target using M16 but is computerise ones more or less like playing arcade. 1st lesson was suck cos kept aiming no where.. but 2nd - 4th lesson was relac cos i can shoot better le.. We had to go thru these lesson in order to go for live range which is next week. kinda nervous cos we will be using the real mag.. hope nothing go wrong..

On thursday i went to cmpb to take the pliot test.. oh man.. so hard..!! I can't co-ordinate my hand, legs and hearing.. haha.. think most likely gonna fail.. it really not easy.. ta ma de.. anyway just took the test for fun.. just trying my luck to be a pliot.. haha.. gone case..

Start of BMT

Finally PTP has ended which mean rest of the tekong life will be quite different from the past one month. We have to do things much more faster. On the first and second day of BMT we get a introdction to M16, close combat training and IFC. During IFC we learned about the Do and Don't during the field camp. oh ya my field camp start on the 26 july.. sianz but i'm looking forward to that day.. cos it my graduation day. i going to SP and collect my cert and most importantly meet up with my classmates and friends. it been a long time since i last saw them. just wondering how are they doing now. On last monday my PC came to me and apologize cos he made a mistake that he forgotten that the day which i was suppose to book out for my triathlon event is a saturday. oh man.. nvm la. i also din really put all the blame on him.. anyway he's a nice Platoon Commander. Just older than me by 9 days nia.

Ytd after book out went out with you jin and we head to the gym. It been a long time since we last went to gym already.. suddenly felt that we do not have that much strength like before. After the gym thing, he came to my house and relac.. then at night met up with shi long and head for supper..
Ta ma de, during our supper shi long told us some errie stories in tekong.. KNN so scary.. and he actually saw those thing which human are not suppose to see. At that moment i was so freak out.. then You jin also told us stories regarding his unit camp at seletar.. after hearing thier stories i was really scare.. and confirm that they are not lying ( for what the F*** they wan to lie, i shall not write down what they told me cos it really freaking like F***).. Seriously for the past few night in tekong i couldn't sleep well due to the mosquitoes and bed bugs.. and wake up quite a number of times.. shit man just hope that from tonight onwards i'll be able to sleep well.. cos i do not want to see those "UFO"

Sianz gonna book in soon.. seriously i'm abit scare to go back.. at first i thought that the island is not really haunted but after hearing stories from shi long i feel that the island is not clean afterall.. but bo bian. i think as long as i don't disturb them, they will not disturb me bah.. hope so..

2nd book out..

This week wasn't a very good week for me.. sianz cos i didn't take part in the Triathlon event.. haiz..

On monday after we had our lunch, our PC told us a very bad new. which is the sat and sun training will be replace with the mon and tue ones. which mean that sat and sun i can't book out and have to wait till mon(4 july) cos on Tue those officers will be attend a event. At that moment i was thinking how am i going to participate in the Triathlon. i reg it before may and ofcos paid the fee le. i was ******* sianz 1/2. Straight after he brief us about the changes, i went up to him and plead him to let me off on sun. he told me NO as it was a order from the HQ. i was sianz the whole day couldn't concentrate. cos i die die also want to go. it not bcos of the registeration fee of $66 but it was the effort i put in for this event. All the running, cycling and swimming gonna be wasted. i started training myself since the beginning of this year. haiz. then during that afternoon, i clock my fastest 2.4 timing. 9.38 mins. Kinda cheer me up cos i set a target of 9.30 before end of BTM. hmm.. now i change my target to under 9min le cos there is this China Man who is currently the fastest man of our company clock 9.09mins and because of him i rank 2nd. no matter what i MUST make sure i beat him before BMT. Argh..!!! Choing ar..

On tue, we do the same old training. sianz at night after we were given our RO, i walk up to my PC again, i told him that no matter what i must go for the event. All he say that nothing he can do. haiz. think my sgt heard our conservation cos after i went back to my room, he told me he will try to help me to book out. that moment i was really very disappointed.

On wed, we had our 4km route march(full battle order with dumpy rifle). i was chosen as the front scout with my sgt. Druing the march, he told me that i was able to book out on the sat and return on sun afternoon. i was very delighted. Along the route march he talk cock with me. lolz. then as we walk passed this old camp site, he told me that this is the place where most of the tekong stories came from. but when i stare at the buliding, like nothing leh.. normal building. maybe have to wait till night time bah.. haha..Being the front scout was very jia lat cos the march was lead my our OC. he was very fast. as the front scout, we have to keep a distance about 80 metre from the rest of the company. But he was so fast that he was only like 40 metres behind my sgt and me. along the way both of us have to run. Quite tired. but no sweat. feel great after the march. Back to the company, i realised that quite a number of them fall out from the march. Was abit surprise as it was just 4km. After we had our water parade, we felt that there was a chopper very near us cos the wind suddenly became verys strong. After a few mins, our PC told us that is was a heli evacuation. Heli evacuation only occur when it is a matter between life and death meaning that person is in real danger of losing his life. Our PC move us to the side of our building and i was like wow. Can't believe it was happening right infront of my eyes. A chopper was just about 120m away from us. after about a min, saw a few medic carry a guy in stretcher ran towards the chopper and soon the chopper left the field. then a sgt told us that he does not want to see us leaving tekong with a helicopter and want us to take care of ourself. But in the evening, our sir told us that the guy who was in the heli is a sgt from D company and had passed away. He told us that after a normal casual run he suddenly had diffcultly in breathing and collaspe. That the end of the story. All of us are very sad.

Nothing much happen on Thurs and Friday. Normal training except on Friday i no need to be the front scout for our 4km route march. =)

On sat we had our strength training in the morning and speed training in the afternoon. That day i was feeling very excited as the next day is the triathlon event. After dinner i went to the company office and told my sgt that i needed to apply leave and was approved by my PC. When i told him that i'll be taking the 9.30 fast craft he was abit shock because that was a sat and the last fast craft left at 6pm. At that moment i was very shock also cos my sgt told me that i be taking the 9.30 fastcraft and i tot that was ok. At the moment the only hope is the 8pm fastcraft which is suppose to take by those high senior ranking officers. that mean if i on board, i must greet every single on of them. On of the sir gave a call to the OC asked him if i able to take the same craft with him and i was surprised that my PC din inform the OC about this matter. i was very sianz liao. on of my sgt talk to the OC and he ask me to call the OC a few mins later. When i called him, he told me a straight NO because it is a triathlon event and the past 2 weeks there are 3 cases of death (SAF personnel) relating to casual run. And I am suppose to stay in camp on sun and what if something happen to me on the event. But he gave me some hope as he told me that he going to ask the CO if anything can be done to solve this problem. My sgt told me to go up wear my smart 4 and prepare 1st then come down again. after that i called him again and a clear NO!. i explained to him again why i must go for this event. Then he called the CO for the 2nd time. i wait outside the office. Few mins later i call him again and he told me the same ans. He said that they can't afford to take the risk. he even help me to apply leave which mean anything happen outside the camp is not the thier responsibility but the CO said no. Bo bian only can suck thumb. Was feeling very down at the moment and i walk beside the company building and make a phone call to my mum. i cried that moment because at the very last min i can't go for that event. I train so hard for this event and in the end i can't join because of the recent death cases. haiz.. was so sianz. can't really sleep for the whole night. The next morning (sun) was the same. though i'm in tekong but my heart was in ECP. thinking abt the event. This event only happen once a year. i already waited since the beginning of the year liao. ta ma de. why am i so sway. During the breakfast, keep praying that it rain at ECp and hopefully they might postpone the event. But in the end it was a bright sunny morning. sianz. just couldn't concentrate for the rest of the day. So this is the reason why i can't participate. My dream of completing an oly distance triathlon was shattered. if only i pass my napfa during my poly, then i no need to attent PTP le.. haiz.. have to wait for another year.. right now as i writing this, i still feel very sianz. Now can only look forward to the NUS triathlon on 14 Augat sentosa. though it is a triathlon but the distance is twice shorter compare to the one i signed up for the OSIM one. sianz no kick. but nvm atleast there something for me to train for. 28 Aug NB real run (10km) at sentosa, Army half marathon (21km) on 11 sept and Standard Chartered Sg marathon (42km) on 4 Dec Plus 2 more (mizuno wave run and 2nd link bridge run). Can't wait liao. Legs very itchy feel like running. =) So on sun night ran with my platoon mates. Ran about 7km.

On monday was our book out day. Went lunch with my friends at WS mac then came back home. Sianz saw my Triathlon Race pack. The tee-shirt, race bids swim cap, champion chip all infront of me but din have the chance to wear. haiz.. Surf net for a while then went for a run in the evening. Ran the whole of pasir ris park then striaght to TP and back to my house. total distance think is around 15km. 1st 11km was alright but it was the last few km which really kills me. legs started to feel cramp and tired. guess is due to the training in BMTC and the climbing of stair case everyday. Din really have the chance to let my legs rest for a day. So No choice have to walk and run for the last 4km.

Hmm.. Now tue le.. think going swimming later.. at downtown east.. then cycling around. haha.. bo bian i love triathlon.. too much le.. =)
