halfway point
yayy! one busty week has flown by and the long-awaited long weekend has arrived (: 4 DAYS OFF! omg. ive never realised how much i can miss home till now. basically, the week was summarised in 2 activities: gypsy and physical training.
report sick rate was extremely high, with daily 2 period training sessions (or more) at least we cleared all our ET runs and fast marches, and the physical training phase of our course is almost over. but the scarier part's coming up. combat training. all the field camps and all. *dreads* i really hope it doesnt rain while we have our field camps. pity golf coy. it rained on every single day of their field camp loh ): once it rains, evry1 will feel wet and miserable and our field packs will be cold and wet. :/
gypsy was quite fun. for gypsy I, our sergeant brought us around. but dur night navigation, he sorta lost his way and we had to bash a way out to the expressway and run along the expressway to get back to our start point. omg. even though it was so dangerous, it really felt good to be stepping on road instead of plunging into knee-high rivers, or brushing past thorny plants (which were everywhere). the thorns were REEEEALLY huge ok. and im not exaggerating.
for gypsy II, i was the ic of the group. we attempted to find a chckpt which could not be found during gypsy I, and spent the whole day finding it. its rly frustrating, cos u know u r in the region le. u just have to comb for that stupid signboard to prove you navigated to the correct place. but we just couldnt find it lohh. but it was still loads of fun, and i didnt eat any combat rations because they were so disgusting and rubbery. i dint eat at all for the exercise in fact. :D
anw, yesterday was bookout day. we were supposed to have SOC then book out. but it started raining really heavily and we were very happy cos it means that we wont be able to clear obstacles (: indeed, SOC was cancelled, but to our horror, it was replaced with strength training. in addition to the normal dumbbell and medicine ball drills, we acherli had to do lots of rubbish like crunches with medicine ball on our legs, bridges and all sorts of weird stuff. some ppl from hotel coy was commenting how siao we were. cancel SOC and come up with something better to replace it. hmph.
at least we got to book out early. on my way back, i realised the COWS are back! the plain coloured mooove cows are now dressed up in suits and cool dresses and they are happily sunning on empty patches of grass again :D cheers (:
went home and crunchyrolled. omg. theres so many shows i want to watch nowww :D crunchyroll rocks!
