「 Eric Lim yawns... Sunday, June 18, 2006 」

Tis wk commences my drivin phase. S a tank cmmder, got 2 go thru the roles of driver, gunner n lastly the cmmder. 1st day go there den teach us some basic things den let us juz drive the tank arnd the area. I super cocked up. When the drivin instructor asks me 2 move, i machiam like playin daytona juz zham the accelerator all the way in. Tis causes the tank 2 move veri oddly n resulted me 2 kena kan. Instructor: u siao ar Formula 1 racin is it?

Anw when the tank moves it is nt s stable s car s it tends 2 jerk here n there abit. Hence, i will drive @ abt 10-15km/hr n the max spd i drove b4 is 20km/hr 3rd gear. Nt much confidence oso so better drive slowly. Drivin @ high spd oso high chance of tank overturnin which can b lethal. Thus, we went thru some overturnin drills n go do the overturnin simulator. Wah i almost fly out of the simulator durin the simulation. The tank is quite hard 2 manuevre oso coz diff tank the steerin diff some easy 2 pull while some req alot of strgth.

Soon, we drive durin the nite oso n lastly we learn 2 drive thru obstacles. Sian my weakest obstacle will b the gullies which is consecutive slopes. We r supposed 2 drive up n dwn the gullies smoothly. The 1st time i drove realli cocked up. S i drove close hatch, my vision is dependent on the periscope which cover onli a small dist range. When i goes up the slope, i can onli c the sky so muz estimate when 2 release the accelerator n let the tank juz go dwn the slope smoothly. Hweva, i accelerate n estimate wrongly n release accelerator n the tank reverse back 2 the startin pt n i kena kan. The other time is i accelerate 2 much such tat it goes dwn the slope super fast which may result in an overturn w/o releasin the accelerator n again kena kan. After tryin a few more times, i improve lar but still nt much confidence oso.

While waitin 2 drive tank, we had directin of tank lessons or talk cock session. Ha got 1 time my fren n i super bored until we decided 2 find something 2 do. Den we spotted a dead lizard wif a lot of flies on it. My fren started 2 throw stones @ it n the flies will juz fly off. Ha every moment the flies flew off, my tat fren will scream s he is scared of flies n cockroaches n tat they will fly 2 him. Wah i cant blieve it! Despite of tat, he kept throwin stones whenever the flies fly back 2 the dead lizard n screams whenever the flies fly. Super funny n he says is super thrillin machiam watchin horror movie. After a while, i began 2 c ants carryin dead flies back. Haha i oso boliao so end up began throwin stones like my fren 2 c hw many flies i can kill.

Drivin tank is fun n ok 4 me lar xcept 4 the gullies. Hweva the maintenance is quite xiong lar 3 person do all the checkin plus oiling stuffs. Do until my whole coverall realli drenched wif sweat n the instructor saw liao asked me whether i got pespiration prob. Bobian c him got 2 water parade half water bottle.

Fri bk out den sat went out wif alex, jm, hm, n alv. @ the same time buy presents 4 alv n didnt noe he realli fall 4 our tricks when we asks him 2 help us choose clothes n cologne. Alex super happy coz mother went overseas den can anitime go hme. We shopped, ate, talked cock n ended the day @ kbox sang to our heart content. Den 2day went out wif my class pple 2 esplanade there 2 celebrate alv bday. Wah super tiring due 2 the italy vs usa match prev nite. Went arcade 2 play. Super sian. Play the cmbat shootin game wif hm, jm n alv. Dunno y my scores damn low. Den play daytona n loses 2 my pw grp members. tgpwol! haha! Bside tat quite enjoyed myself lar long time nvr play liao.
