And so, it was the start of another week in army. However, this week has tonned down quite a bit. On Monday, we practically did almost nothing except to decorate our board for the POP parade and some arms drill. Tuesday and Wednesday was mainly SOC 200m and 400m rundown practice for the actual 600m rundown this coming Monday. We also learnt how to do guard/sentry duty while practicing basic counter and offensive movements to take down hostile targets.
Thursday was IPPT test, in which for the first time, I've passed. I could have gotten Silver if not for my SBJ whereas 8s less in the 2.4km run would result in a Gold standard. Here are the results.
Situp - 44 reps (5)
SBJ - 216 cm (2)
Shuttle Run - 9.7s (5)
Chin up - 9 (4)
2.4k run - 9.52s (4)
I've also had completed the milestone in our BMT, the 24km road march on my actual birthday, how amazing is that? The track from Changi Village to ECP wasn't easy but the fighting spirit actually pushed us on and on. It will always be a memorable day to remember.
Yesterday after book ou at 1050 hours, slacked at home for a while before meeting up with Brother Zijian and later Jacqueline to slack around City Hall area aimlessly. The main thing is for us to catch up with one another and enjoy good food while taking a break from the busy weekday. Once again thank Zijian and Jacqueline for the birthday wishes in person.
We toured around City Hall, Marina Square and later Bugis. I've got home at around 2230 hours, totally shack from the lack of sleep since yesterday.
Later going out with family to celebrate my belated birthday, and I've not decided where to go and eat. I shall go and crack my brains to think of a place now, and until then, ciaos.
