This week in ETI is so far the most relaxing week.. i shall say is a recovery week.. had almost finsihed all the stuffs in our specialise term now waiting for the joint-term where all the CBRE people r back.. Got a gold for my IPPT.. finally 234cm and ran a 9.06min for my 2.4km quite satisfy with it consider that i had my Biathlon few days back.. oh my result for the Nus Biathlon is out.. Pos. 91 out of 298.. 41.30mins for swim and 48.43mins for run.. Total 1h30.13m.. hehee..

Hmm.. NB Duathlon 06..YEs.. it is one of the most important Race that i always to forward to.. last yr cycled with a mountain bike but this yr i came with a roadbike.. hope can improve my timing for cycling.. dad fetch me to ECP early in the morning then i make my way to the starting point.. the places was crowded and that makes the atmosphere really great.. power!! did some warm up while watching the younger age grp race.. those boy-boy and ger-ger r damn gd.. they ran really fast.. guess some r faster than me.. yupz.. imagine bah.. soon my wave started.. i ran at a steady pace and surprise that i'm actually ahead of quite a number of people.. nvm just continue.. after the 1st round of 5km, funny leh how come my timing was arn 20mins.. can't be mah since when i improve so much.. then ran the next 5km and timing was arn 42mins.. weird somemore din put in my full effort cos still got 40km cycle and 5km run coming up.. hmm maybe the route was slightly shorter than 10km?? i duno.. anyway.. the cycling part was the most realxing part.. the wind blew against you and u see people cycle passed u and see urself over taking other people.. the feeling is gd.. it really relax my mind and body.. i look at my watch after every 10km and i happy with it.. approx. 20 min/10k consider that i din even train for my bike and not a professional triathlete.. hmm ok la.. anyway went there to enjoy myself.. so the timing was alright.. finished my bike and the moment i step down from my bike, i can feel the cramp in my thigh.. so i started my last 5km run very slowly.. really every slow man.. after abt 1.5km, i started increase my pace by abit and abit.. then i stopped for awhile really can't take it.. if carry on my legs gonna break.. so i walk for a while b4 i continue..soon reach the U-turn point.. and that where i saw this National Triathlete name Elaine abt 50m behind me.. she really gd.. she came in 6th during the SEA game.. btw we dunno each other.. i just happen to know her name thru website.. though the women race started 15mins later she managed to over take me.. imagine.. how fast nowadays can ladies be.. oh ya she just 18 this yr.. cool ar.. then i can't take it liao.. how can i let a ger over take me.. KNN i increase my speed and over take her.. bleah.. she behind me le.. haha.. but after 1km or so.. bo bian legs going to cramp.. so i slow down and she over take me.. wah lau totally demoralise.. nvm la.. just continue my ran at a steady pace and soon reached the finishing line le.. once i stopped.. my legs cramp like siao.. i can't even bent my legs.. if i bent, i feel tt my muscles gonna tears.. that how tight my muscles is.. stand for abt 3mins before i eventually sat down.. did some cooling down and head on to the transition area to collect my stuffs.. watched the prize presentation and then cycle to Tampines and met jin for lunch..

Really a good race.. i love it.. i can't wait for more races to come.. ohh gonan be back at ECP on 28 Feb for Wing outing.. oh ya cycle and run again for our outing.. cool.. hope my legs can recover in time..

As i was driving i kept wondering if i gonna make it for the swim. Swimming is the weakest out of all the discipline.. cos i hardly swim ever since i enlisted into the Army.. well just try my best afterall the water in sentosa is quite calm.. hopefully.. =)

Almost Dead..

Let me tell u this.. i had never been so lucky b4.. NEVER EVER.. i was almost crush by the Panels.. a 3 pics panels weigh abt 800kg and it almost landed on top of me.. please read on if u wanna know what happen..

Erm ok on Monday we continue with the APB.. after finished the body part, we had to lauch it across the gap.. abt 20+ of us trying to lauch the bridge but we only manage to lauch it halfway.. in the end our OC asked the rest from the other 2 platoons to help us.. without much effort we managed to lauch it to the far bank.. cool ar.. 50+ guys pushing a 15tons plus body.. after lauching, we did the decking.. our OC kept rushing us.. my buddy was the CPC and i was the CPS.. we helped one another for the decking part.. it was arn 8+ when we did the decking.. it was fu*king heavy.. 4 guys carrying a pic of steel weigh abt 100+ kg.. it may sound easy but imagine abt 20+ guys taking turns and carried abt 70+ of decks and 30+ ramps.. all of us were damn fu*king tired.. arms almost cramps legs almost break.. though i was the CPS but i can't just let my friends do the suffering alone.. i helped them.. finished decking arn 12+ went back to bed and next morning continued again.. in morning we took 2 pics with the APB cos it our hard work together with our sweat..haha.. then for the last day basically we have to dismantle what we had done for the passed 3 days of exercise.. wahz.. paingz..

From morning to night we work non-stop except for meal break.. slightly arn minight when we were dismantling the panels, something happend.. i was standing infront of the panel and watching others dismantling the right side of the bridge.. suddenly the panel infront of me started to move and when i looked up i realised that the panel is coming my way.. it gonna land on my side.. after stunned for 1 sec, i took 3 steps back and jumped away from the panel.. i landed on my butt and was in shocked.. the loud bang attract everyone attention and all of them came running towards my direction.. i looked on my left i saw my friend land in between the hole of the panel.. and both of us were lucky that we r still alive.. can't believe it.. i looked on my feet and the panel was just a few inches away from it..imagine i react 1 sec slower.. *phew* it was so freaking scary.. thank god that some of my friends who were supposed to be on my side went for water break.. if not.. haiz.. after the incident, we realised that is was my platoon mate who unscrew the panel and causes the whole panel to collaspe.. Hengz.. i was really lucky to be able to blog right now..

On Sat we had it burned again cos of Demo Live Firing.. sad man.. =(

25 tons Bridge.. APB

What the f*ck can't believe this.. we r building a f*cking heavy bridge and we called it APB.. u know what 2 days had passed and we r only slightly half through of the whole constructing process.. my Saturday kana burned cos of this.. On Wed and Thur, we had theory lessons on this bridge and on Fri and Sat were the practical.. we build until almost 1am and manage to get to bed at arn 2 and woke up at 5+ and the constructing process continue.. This is really tiring.. wearing SBO without rifle standing in the middle of an unshelter environment and had to fight against the stupid afternoon heat from the sun.. wah piang ah.. Engineer ar Kinda siong sia!! There were shouting and scolding from the instructors here and there cos of our mistakes or safety breach.. seriously i can't imagine if any of the part drop on us.. confirm plus chop is either u die or remain in wheelchair for the rest of ur life.. some part weigh as much as 480kg.. but *hengz* got 2 cranes to help us, not like those olden days where they use manual method.. haha.. Next week more to come.. cos is the decking part.. i really cannot imagine.. please god.. let me get through this quickly..
