Hurray!! Haha! I have just passed out from 41st Basic Section Leaders' Course! No easy to pass out as corporal u know. I still have to walk 28km till the next day morning in order to get my rank sia.Wootz! But 10 weeks of gruelling training.....Haha...well... i finally realised....hmm....i have grown up and becoming more....matured? Haha. Don't u ppl agree wif me? Humans will only grow up after going through several stages of hardships and ppl will learn form their mistakes, enforce their judgement on things happening around them and also...strengthen their mind!

For the past few weeks during SOC (Standard Obstacle Course) trainings, my timing was very very bad...and i always got 13:00 plus plus timing and i failed! Haha coz passing timing was 10mins 30 secs. But....when it comes to the actual run down test on around the 8th lesson, whoho, i got 9mins 28sec! Whaha! What a great improvement i had achieved man and i almost obtain below 9 mins timing but somehow when i was near the end point my mind keep telling me" Your timing is gd enough...rest bah! Chen Siang rest bah!". True enough i stopped running and that time i was only less than 20m away from the end point. Haiz....kinda wasted coz i could have obtain a better result but nevermind its still a great achivement for me anyway haha. As for IPPT, hmm...in the past i always have problem passing my chin ups but now its no longer a problem for me anymore coz i can do more than 10 standard chin ups and compared to last time i can only do 6 max? haha! And my so called 6 max are all half fuck standard. But i only got silver instead of gold all becoz of my running timing. Argh...hopefully when i got into unit i can achive gold = extra $200 for me leh! lolz...

See......its all about mind over body that can explains my great improvement on my physical level. So for those who wan to achieve something in life , go for it! And always remember its all about mind over body that determines how far u can go and how high u can climb. Start training ur mental power! Its effective! Try it! Haha " )

Hmmm.....let me recall wad major event i had went through...hmm....ya its Grandslam! It was a 4 days out field mission plus wanderer exercise conducted at tekong. Wootz! First day when we reach tekong we immediately commence our wanderer exercise. Holy...its fuking shagged and imagine u have to take the map + compass and make ur way to ur assigned checkpoints for 1 whole day. Theres both day and night checkpoints to look for but things dun go smoothly for our day walk. First..our instructors and 1 team of ppl got attacked by thousands of hornets and as a result they got hospitalised. Next, one of my teammate twisted his leg and we have to slow down during our search coz he cant walk fast and we have to accomadate his movement also. And thats not all, my teamates and i go "Holland" in the swampy region! hahaha! Thanks to my sir....he gave us hint that we can reach our next objective after cutting through a swampy area and we followed and we managed to reach a....supa beautiful swamp whereby theres a stone pathement leading to the other side of the jungle with high canopy around plus streams flowing.....man...its like as if i had entered Jurassic park: The Lost world haha. Serious, its damn beautiful sia.

Once we reached the other side, we found ourself trapped in the middle of nowhere. The surrounding is no longer the same like wad our sir had described to us after we passed through that beautiful swamp and its all fallen trees and many many blah blah trees with lots of thorns which of coz....injured our hands and legs but luckily didnt kenna face. Phew. After bashing through inside anyhow inside there for 2 hour plus, we managed to reach a clear path and when i check my location, holy....i bashed through roughly 3km away from my position where i met my sir! And there goes our precious time and in the end we only found 2 checkpoints out of 4. Haiz. As for the night....haha...we only found 1 out of 2. Sian diao. The whole exercise ended at 11pm but all of us returned to our rest point at 12am. I tot i could slp like the others after i finished powder bath myself but NO! Other platoon PS (platoon sergeant) came and woke me up and complained my ppl took their ppl stores. I just stared at him wif slpy face and wondered wtf he looked me up for missing stores? So when i checked my watch....shit...passed 12am already...so which means i am the next apppointed PS for my platoon! Argh.....so i had to get up and retrieve back all their missing stores and at that time was already 2am. Thats not all! I was instrcuted to get some guys wif me and load all my own platoon stores up the tonner! HA LEI LU YA! Where the hell i can find helpers when all my man were already asleep! My instructor told me to wake them up but...its not nice to suddenly make a turn out for them even though i had the power to do so. So no choice....i had to suck my own thumb and do the work myself but lucikly theres 2 more guys haven slp yet so i dragged them along to help me ahha. By the time when i slept its already 3 am.....ZzZzZZz...how sia...still got 3 days attack mission to do and i am haf dead already! *bengz*

Morning....we set out as a whole Platoon to our destinated "camping" base. The minute we reached there, we started fence up our base with strings and take up position. Its damn tough man....esp for me coz i am their so called appointed leader over 40 ppl and somemore i hav eto keep walking up and down the slope and ensure they behave themself....safety....translate massge passed down by my superiors and blah blah tough jobs lah. But the best thing being the leader was....i dun nid to go chiong mission wif them haha coz i nid to stay back and ensure my remaining man do their job. But on the other hand i was under alot of stress too coz my sir, instuctors all suddenly throw me wif alot of tasks to do and i almost cried while i am doing my job coz its really really very stress. They will only keep on demand and demand but they dun care whether i can manage myself or not. Somemore my men were tired and so they were quite reluctant to help me lessen my burden except for some of my close buddies whom lent me their support when i am supa down and i am really very touched by them sia. But in the end i still managed to bring out my outstanding professional performance during the 4 days exercise (*Quoted from my sir comment in my report card). Of course i wouldnt have received such encouraging comment from my sir and eventually got myself ranked top 5 % in my platoon without the support of my buddies. Thanks ppl! U guys effort and support will be remembered and kept somewhere...deep in my heart? hahaha! " ).

A week later after we came back from tekong, we were told to do commanders appraisal and theres one particular malay instructor "wacked" my whole section coz we got ppl commented him as "Crazy and mad man", "Got alot tatoos on his body but very ugly", "Always like to mumble and if stare at him he will say my father is at home!", "Like to pose when scolding us chee bye" and blah blah funny comments hahaha! And i am the one who did the fourth comment and he kept forcing us to say who did the 1st comment but we would rather wack by him then to say who commented that haha! Speaking about that instructor, i almost made him died of heart attack coz he told me to help him get a packet of "singlet" and i was thinking....wtf he nid a singlet since he is already wearing one! Without qns any furthur i went back to office, opened the cupboard but i cant find any "singlets" so i went back and told him i cant find any "singlets" in the cupboard. Then he say got! Its inside the metal cupboard so i went back and try searching for it again coz i search the wooden cupboard instead of the metal one. True enough.....i found a "singlet" in the cupboard and i happily march back and pass it to him. He immediately laughed and scold me in a funny manner " omg omg.....i am getting heart attack sia! i will die becoz of laughing oie koon doo!" I was like...huh? i got his stuff but he still sccold me ? So i asked him" huh? didnt u told me to get u the singlet?" he answered :"I wan Cigrettes! not singlet u bo to!" whahahha! and so happened he was abt to march my platoon back and the whole lot of them witnessed the "cute" side of me and they laughed too ahha. Thats not all.....i went back again and this time round i finally got him the cigrettes! But! Without lighter! wahahhaha! and he immediately sian 1/2 and gave me that hopeless expression and said to me " wheres lighter? u expect me to smoke without lighter???" hahhaha!

Yesterday we just had a celebration called "chevron's night" at a place call CHEVRON of coz haha and its a club meant for all specialists and in service regulars. And its not bad....there got jackpot ...arcade....ktv.....disco......chalet....restauraunt....gym.... and many more haha.

Shit man...i should volunteered myself for it coz theres no good looking wan. Yucks! wahhaha! Jk jk...haha. (*twist fingers). Monday onwards i will be reporting to Air Force School and start commencing my journey as a full time regular. Hope eveything will be fine and promising for me haha.....and also hope i can get my year end bonus! F*** its damn alot if i were to get my bonus and it will be more then 5k! whahaha!
