Enjoying course, Appreciates weekends more then ever!!

Yes! I’m blogging, means I’m not confined!! Exams have not earned me any 2 days 1 night stay in AFS so but I know that it’s only a single slip that will burn my weekend away. Next week is the challenge, 4 exams!! Jialat, thought this long weekend can enjoy a bit..

Passed week had been bad, speaking terms on my health. Sprained my ankle during the start of the week!! ULTRA SUPER EXTRA PAIN and AGONY!! For an “injury experienced” person like me, this sprain is special. Couldn’t sleep the whole night, ankle hurts to the MAX no matter what position I put. Better not get injuries when you get older.. Cough gets worse than ever..

An arrow shot down by the FSM, decorate a classroom with Chinese cultural theme. Yes, it hit me. Time given: 3 nights.. ( WTF need to repaint the whole room, fix the computers, decorations…) Luckily got man power. Done it up, had an official opening by Wing Comd. Seems happy with it, good job 18th WSO!!

Enjoying course, Appreciates weekends more then ever!!

TURNOUT!!! sHIOK...

Hahah… This is one of the most exciting training I’ve been waiting for in ADA Wing. It’s a tradition when the seniors will wake us all up in the middle of the night and “have lots of fun” with us!! Here’s the description:

0245: TURNOUT TURNOUT!!! Everyone is to fall in PT kit.

02**: Shoutings, screamings, counts of push ups filled the still air in Air Force school.

02**: Change into Long 4. More push ups.

02**: Time for a run, no, sprint. Everyone is like panting like dogs already…

03**: Go back pick up SBO and sands cans (330ml of cans, filled with sand). Shouting continued)

03**: Fall in at the chin up bar with the SBO and sands cans on in the webbing. Instructions: Every chin up bar clock 240 chin ups. There are 3 of them. Phew.. It’s been reduced to 200 per bar.

03**: Time for run again with the SBO and sand cans this time.

04**: (Dramatic part coming!! The famous missile walk.) Reach hanger. Shuttles open slowly. Beams of light shoots out from the V200 armoured vehicles. Roaring of the engines tickled me. Lol.. Shooting movie. Missiles launchers lined in positions. Everyone to pick up one launcher, 29 kg each, about 1.8 metres

Rules: 1) Can only carry with your arms.
2) Walk in file formation, one stop all stop.
3) Once stop everyone must kneel and balance the launcher.
4) One side of the launcher touches the floor, one confinement, 2 sides, and 2 confinements.

****: Keep walking… Keep stopping…

****: Keep walking… Keep stopping…

This time encouragement filled the air. From the seniors, course mates. Can really see how some struggled, muscles already not listening to commands.

0545: END OF MISSILE WALK. Shiok..

Time clocked: 3 hours
I thought the physical part was not really important. The relationships between us is. It really touches hearts in times of adversaries when you give a little lift, a little encouragement.

The day continued as normal, except for the closer bonds. Lam still went for his gym session that day.

ADA!!!

Reborn

If you realize, the songs I choose actually has it significance. Sometimes it signifies feelings, thoughts or a phase. “Chong Sheng” meaning reborn is the current song. This song actually signifies the beginning of myself. I don’t feel good at all… Physically.

For some who knows, it’s coming back to haunt me. It seems like the feeling when I first enlist into BMT. Full of doubts, lacking in confidence…

Well, luckily Lam has this spirit in him. To be reborn a stronger man. It’s an ultimate challenge but he is eager to fight it through. ADA Wing is the only wing in the whole school that wakes at 0530 for 5BX. It marks the start of the day. After a long day of lessons and physically training, especially during every meal time, the setS of chin ups and setS of push ups which can be intriguing sometimes. My training doesn’t stop after office hours though… (FYI: Current scheduled training is from 0800 – 0530)

Extra training comes!! Soccer, running, gym sessions, etc. Sweat it all out. I need to rebuild and reach a higher peak!!

I’m going to max it all out to achieve that.
