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.. =)
