9th, 10th, 11th week in SCDFSharon Au in SCDF camp???Alrite, since i long time no blog. Let me start with this thing ba. On 2 days ago, tat is thursday, tat is 36th basic officer course POP ceremony day, a lady named sharon was supposedly spotted n squealed by some of my buddies near me. So how can this happen? Ceremony n reception is over, my course 22nd ERS is to fall in at ground floor to hav supper snack n briefing on wat to do next. Then many course graduates n relatives pass by us. Jus mins before we head towards the parade ground to clean up n tidy that area, some of my course mate supposedly squealed sharon. I immediately took a glance at the people in front of me. It looks like sharon au but i not too sure as i only managed to c her side view n back view as she walk past without stopping. Hmmm, if she is there, maybe she got brother or relative taking basic officer course in SCDF ba. Hmmm tats a mystery to check out for some of u if u are too free.
Hectic training for past few weeks...Fireman tasks are never meant to be easy. Some are straight forward, some involve more equipments and some are exhausting!!! On Friday, i jus experienced the greatest impact of the year. Wielding and shooting using impulse gun is not tat easy as i thought. Trigger hav to be pulled back hard n then a big spray of water will burst out with a loud bang sound. Therefore, i am like pulled back as the impact is rather big. My right thumb n fingers kenna strained a little though. Wah tat is like much powerful than M-16 gun. Ok after that, lunch n then scdf personnels were treated to "the lift" threatre drama. Not bad, quite hilarious n interesting. For more info, u can check the-lift.blogspot.com And btw, if u want know more about the past n present of fire stations n equipments, u can check out the heritage gallery somewhere behind funan the IT mall. U can gain quite some good civil defence knowledge if u go there when u r free.
New instructor replaces old... BadTalking about the changing of instructors, initially it is thought to be good. New instructor looks like he is experienced n kind enuff. But who knows, he changes face very fast n somemore is a chinese person. Oh my god, he really thinks we can do things well up to his expectations. Whenever any of us jus dun seem to be performing to his standard, he will jus punish ppl anytime. Sianz dun give much good reason, den still dare anyhow scold or punish ppl. Unlike the previous instructor, he is not as reasonable n good as him. Hmmm, tats a tough nut to crack. At least i know i can be safe for the upcoming 7th week under this course as there is no training field practical sessions. But 8th week onwards? Hmmm i gotta build up a much better physical by then.
Lots of tests start to come up soon from 8th week onwards bah. Focusing more n getting less tired after training n excercises shall be what i must have to continue to survive in this course. Hmmm, shall run n go gym regularly in evening after dinner time then. In addition, I hope the canteen can cook better food in the coming weeks as food generally is not bad but can be better. A pity tat Wednesday is the only western food day. N somemore western food is not really good at times. Hmmm anyway, i planned to bring more sports related supplements in as the food in there really does not give me the much needed enuff vitamins.
New week, brand new knowledgePast week, jus learned lots of knots... got french bowline, butterfly, underhand, clove hitch, figure of 8, fisherman's knot, 2 n a half hitch, etc... ... Still i am not tat sure, so i shall be asking around to learn how to tie knot really well. N also pulley systems which can carry heavy weights when set up appropraitely.
Upcoming week, its time to learned more about medic stuffs. Maybe i shall have more da chang jin spirit when learning medic things ba. Shall get to know more about the CPR process n stuffs. Maybe i will be a paramedic if i study well enough in tests? Hmmm hard to say as i cant really choose to be a paramedic at the moment. Ok, shall blog more about unique medic stuffs mext time when i already learned more about it.
As for now, cya n thanks for ur appreciation here for reading till tis end.
Learn more, relax more, reap more N never say die

7th, 8th N 9th week of NS life -> 2nd-4th week of ERSWell, sorry to only update now as my computer got some sort of booting problem for 2 weekends. Jus managed to fix it unexpectedly hours ago as i last week do not have much time cos of tat urber long sunday guard duty. Plenty of rest and only a few hours of guard sums up last sunday in camp. Guard resting room is extremely cold. Brrrr... Did not sleep well but still managed to rest somehow...
For the past few weeks, my physical conditions get better as i get lesser cramps n aches though i still need to train up my arms. Weather was hot n there wasn't any wind to cool us trainees well in the open area training ground. Lots of runnning with equipments to be done and if u do not do it right, you jus have to do it over again. Still got many types of ladders somemore. Climbing ladders high is somewhat tiring for me and need to go back ladder down. Doing it right is not much of a problem for me, but it is jus the level of strength to execute it nicely prevent me from doing well. Oh... And hoses to my surprise, have many sizes as well. Got long n fat ones, got slimy ones as well and regular size too. Well, carrying 2 regular size hoses is jus manageable for me as yet. But running 10m with those 2 hoses fast is a problem as i do not have strength to do it well n proper enuff. As such, certain fireman tasks that require a great deal of strength, i have not been doing well and i struggle at times. Oh well, i need more practice n intense training to be better at those tasks i suppose.
Ok, last few days lucky got national day break for me. Else i dunno how can i still survive the gruelling training conditions. Helmet oso got to wear, which makes my head feels quite heavy at times too. And i gotta say standard obstacle course, though i can clear, but it zaps my energy level away quite fast. Come this thursday, its timing session for SOC. I dun think i can be fast enuff to complete fast among first 15 trainees. Nevertheless, i shall try my best though... Ok, its time for me to rest somemore... Anyway friends, feel free to sms me often as i mostly check my hp at nite. hehe, cos i got quite some free sms to spare mah. This coming week, hopefully i can perform better, else i gonna fail alot of tests if i am still not strong enuff...
Pain is Temporary, Pride is Forever.
