「 Eric Lim yawns... Saturday, April 22, 2006 」

Tis wk has been fun but tiring @ the same time due the SOCs, sect trngin n the decreasin no of hrs of slp.

On mon morn got some parade. Wah got 1 guy puke out all his breakfast on the parade square until super jialat while got 1 guy near me sway left n right den fell 2 the front. Heng tat day got enuff hr of slp. Den afternoon start wif sect trngin. Got 2 put up SAF make up: green n 3 black stripes. Super sian my black camo tend 2 smudge when i sweat n always end up my face like justice bao.

During sect trngin, we learn hw 2 engage enemy s a sect wif all the various weapons hlders in our sect. We oso apply the formations n drills we learn in the forest n firing blanks 2 simulate live fire. It is veri fun lar s if fightin a war or playin cs. Ha can c pple drama roll or crawl frm 1 tree or another 2 take cover. Hweva, by constantly doin leap n bound frm 1 bound 2 another n proning dwn is quite tiring oso. Tat day s i dropped my RCK so i kena sect com 2 lead my sect 2 execute the drills heng nvr realli cock up.

Tues mornin do SOC again. tis time rnd nt bad timing below 10 liao improve liao. But the most sian thing is after soc got 2 rush applyin camo 4 sect trngin. Wed sect trngin again den aft went back 4 AGR n strgth trngin. Super tired. Furthermore 4 the past few days @ nite got 2 wash the dirty uniforms n slp late wake up early. Looks like the pace is getting faster liao.

Thurs n fri heng let us hav rest coz sat is our SOC 1st test. If we do well, no need 2 do 2nd test. Thurs learn CPR frm medic n applyin CPR on some dummy. Ha most of the time i was hammerin on the dummy. Fri learn 2 use the sharpshooter n rest of the day admin. Super shiok.

Sat mornin SOC test. Thx 2 all the constant run dwn tis time rnd i manage a 9 flat. I was veri happy. Initially i failed a few obstacles wan. I had alreadi met the req 2 cross over OCS: 2.4 under 9.15 n SOC under 9.15. But the ippt gold is most impt. So close yet so far...If realli cant cross over, most likely i will go express interest 2 enter s'pore guards regiment 2 b a guard specialist. Khaki beret, guard's tag, guards conversion course, heli rappellin -> ready 2 strike.

After SOC went 4 sect trngin again b4 bkout 2 meet wif those ocs guys 4 dinner 2 talk cock. Nxt wk is the navi plus sect trngin wk or the hol-lan wk. Almost everyday got sect trngin. On some of the days, morn sect trngin den @ nite go lower mandai 2 navi thru forest until nite time. Tis time rnd can try my 2IC trick of puttin chilli on banana n giv the monkeys there 2 eat. But heard tat most prob the checkpts veri hard 2 find n i tik i most prob will hol-lan wan. In addition, nxt wk all trngin end @ abt 11 liddat which means less admin time, wash clothes in dark, slp late wake up early. Realli hol-lan liao.... Tis time rnd we will c whether we can realli mind over body or whether we can realli work wif pleasure under pressure( my staff sgt fav quote).
