Yesterday met up with some of my BMT mates to play soccer @ The Cage in Kallang. Quite a nice place to go and play your soccer and it is pretty cheap too cause it was booked at student price. It cost $25/hr for students and $50/hr for normal adults. I paid $5 only cause there were lots of people there yesterday! Was surprised to see our sir join us yesterday but sadly our sergeants weren't free. I played for like 2 hours before resting and going for my evening run. The place there had like this huge fan on top of the court and when you are playing in the field, it is so damn cooling!
Evening time I went to run alone cause my dad wasn't free to join me. We did 6 sets of power training at Telok Blangah Hill but I only did 5 sets as I was feeling quite tired and can feel the cramps on my legs starting to come in. How I really admire those runners who runs really fast and especially since they are already so old like in their 40's. It's like every lap I did, they will be a minute faster than me and quite consistent throughout the whole training unlike me whose timing keeps increasing. Ha. Anyway I shall keep training hard till I reached their standard :P. Hopefully...
Telok Blangah Hill Training: 6 sets x 1km
1st lap: 4:39:17 mins
2nd lap: 4:48:27 mins
3rd lap: 5:08:77 mins
4th lap: Rest
5th lap: 4:28:93 mins
6th lap: Didn't time (Did a slow jog because leg was cramping up)
Have nothing to do today man. Thought of going to Chevrons to purchase some army items before posting in to my new unit. If not I shall just head to the library to read some books later in the afternoon. Shall see later. Going to have my breakfast now. See ya!!
Cheers

1 week of my block leave have almost passed! How time passes so fast when I have been enjoyinging myself this past 1 week. Soon I will know where I will be posted to and I hope it would be to OCS. But I know my chances of being posted there are slim because I did not get gold for my IPPT and that there are too many strong candidates in my company. But still I keep my fingers cross and hope that I still make it through. It is all down to this friday...
Later I will be meeting up with most of my platoon mates to play soccer at the cage. My first time going there so I want to experience what it is like to play indoor though it has been some time since I kicked a soccer ball. After that in the evening will be going SAFRA to run. They will be doing power/speed training at Telok Blangah Hill today. Going to be one hell of a tough training for me! But I'm just going to enjoy myself later though cause I'm going to kick some balls!!! Wahahaha..

Have been slacking the whole day at home today. Sleep..Eat..Sleep..Eat.. Probably another life of me when I'm outside NS. Love it at times but also hate it at times cause I'm just wandering my time away needlessly.
Had planned to run with the people at Mt Faber SAFRA Running Club people but somehow I didn't have the interest to go run after looking at their training program on my email. They were going to do 6 loops round Mt Faber after which 2 times of staircase. Don't think I can even endure that terrain anymore because I lost all my endurance ever since I entered NS. In Tekong, we are always doing speed training. The longest distance we probably ran was about 4km only. Anyway, I think I will let my body recover the next few days and start my running again from next week onwards.
This coming Saturday is a special day for me, but I can't think of what to do on that day. Haiz.
Cheers

Oh.. Finally back after soooooooo darn bloody long.!! Today was my Passing Out Parade!! Wheee.. "Graduated" from BMTC School 1 with hopes of making it to OCS in a weeks time. My time in Tekong was pretty much filled with full of challenges and memories for me. I must admit that I had a pretty "crazy" time in there with all my platoon mates!! Wahaha..
Today my POP started at around 1600 hours. The weather there was pretty good to us considering that during our last few rehearsals, we were standing in the blazing hot sun around that time too and most of us almost got sun-burned. Nevertheless, all of us made it through the parade and sadly my company got 1 guy fainted. There goes our company's pride!! Lol. After the parade, we had ample time for photo-taking sessions as we were to be the 5th company to take the ferry service back to Singapore.
My Platoon 4 Mates
Lastly, I just want to announced that I finally achieved my NYAA Gold. I will be receiving the award from the President himself on the 3rd October. Looking forward to that day!!
I'm quite tired now going to sleep after this. Will continue tomorrow. Good Nights people.
Cheers
