of marking the end of BMT

POP LO!

haha. 11days block leave. left with 4 more days. sucks. so fast. sigh. will know my posting on the 19th. hopefully its want i want. if cannot, nvm, gotta stay positive. anyways.

JAGUAR COY CHAMPIONS LO!

haha. we won Recruit's Night performance and Games Day. Recruit's Night is a night for a few of the companies from the same school will get together and performances from selected companies will be performed on stage. obviously i was a part of the performance for Jaguar Coy and i told myself that if my company gets selected to perform for the Recruit's Night, i'll go all out. like. all out la.

so our performance was about a fashion show. its about modifying our uniforms to suit ourself during our trainings la. so we had 5 models. yes im one of them. my design was called the Gay Slack. what i did was i wore a swimming trunks and folded a tshirt that looks like a bra and boots. they say really look damn gay >.> so i went all out by making that swimming trunks to something like a gstring la, so u can actually see the sexaayy butt cheeks. >.> then my designer went to smack it real hard till got echo all over the MPH.

we thought we wouldnt win it because Yankee and Falcon did a great job too. but too bad Kelvin(performed for Yankee), Jaguar will always win you guys. LOL. (btw all of it was super impromptu). :D anyways. mixed feelings about POP. happy yet sad. im really gonna miss my buddies, going thru thick and thin with blood, sweat and tears together.


JAGUAR COY!





bed buddies








platoon best,
2nd best,
3rd best.

of pushing yourself to the limit

finally got my silver for 4th ippt.

sbj: 225cm
2.4km: 10:16min

now the question is, can i push to gold in a week? all seems far fetched. i need 9cm more and need to run 32secs faster. i know ive been trying for gold. but its never easy. hell, nothing is ever easy in this world. you want something, you work hard for it. i had only 5 days to train between my 3rd ippt(which i got a pass) and my 4th ippt just because i miss silver by 4cm :(

so my scores for all the statios were 5 5 5 5 3. haha. really pushed hard to get a 5 point for 2.4km.

maybe a silver is just enough. maybe...

of the outside life

of blood, sweat and tears

rawr! field camp is finally over!

the worst shit is indeed the best shit because when u know you have accomplished the toughest shit, you'll remember those times when you grow older. like for example, my rugby days. if i didnt give my all, i wouldnt be proud of it at all. field camp made me realise that in life, theres always something for us to bring back as memories, and thats when u really work hard for it; blood, sweat and tears.

and yes. i cried like a baby. well most of us did. i've talked to some of my platoon and company mates and most of them said "sial ah, before army never cry for like so many years, go field camp then cry like baby". i wont tell why we cried or how was field camp, but u can always ask me when we meet up :p. lets just say, soldiers out there are not fighting for themselves but fighting for their loved ones.

i kinda lost a few kg along the way as well and also miss being the platoon and company IC. its fun to be an IC lar because i love to be upfront and tell ppl what to do! haha! but in all seriousness its a great responsibility. but if theres another opportunity again, i will gladly take it and do better. =D

i know most of you ppl reading this havent seen me for a long time. will update with pics soon enough.

sit test in 2 days. lets do this fiq!

"do it once. do it right."

of so near yet so far

so i booked out early cuz i passed my IPPT. haha. but the disappointing thing is that i didnt get a silver. but nonetheless ive improved alot. :D:D

IPPT 19/06/08
Sit-up: 40 5points
Chin-up: 5 1points
SBJ: 197cm 0points
Shuttle Run: 9.2s 5points
2.4Km: 12:46min 1point
total:12

17/07/08 points

Sit-up: 40 5points
Chin-up: 10 4points
SBJ: 216cm 2points
Shuttle Run: 9.3s 5points
2.4Km: 10:58min 4points
total: 20

we were discussing amongst ourselves about who to pace with etc etc, by what timing etc etc. a Sir overheard us and said "dont care timing, just run and give your best shot because your trainings will give u a surprise." so of course, i thought, ahh what the heck, they say those who pass can book out early (previously they say only those who got silver and above, but decided to give chance), so i just aim for a pass lar, which is just 12:20. and a bloody surprise it was. haha. 10.58 oh!

but like what the Sir said, i tried my best and i have never like the idea of running fast for 2.4km. it was a huge improvement, well, for me at least, since my best ever timing was 12min in my entire life. haha. it could be the red bull, which gave a very bad side effect. i was suuupppeerr tireeeeed after the whole run.

i guess what i should do now is to improve on my sbj. for 9.44mins timing for 2.4km, well, i'll let the trainings do their job. 2 more IPPTs. lets get the gold syafiq!

of tough times

tough times dont last.
tough men do.

ippt test this thursday.
i hope i can fly for my SBJ.
heh. silver. here i come.

of a desire to be among the best

ever since ive stepped into the army, i had a goal in mind.

to train my best, to be my best and of course be myself and strive to go to Officer Cadet School (OCS). OCS is a place where a few fit leaders will undergo a vigorous 9 months training and be commissioned as a Officer in the army.

and i wanna be one of those few fit leaders.

ive been running like a mad dog everyday and pushing myself to the limits but im sure theres always something that can be done better.

Determination and endurance play a big part. I was reading FHM(yes, FHM haha) in the bunk and saw a quote among the advertisement.

"The person to beat is not infront of you but the one inside you"

yes. im aiming for gold before my BMT is over. to be honest i dont know whether it is possible. because i have to run my 2.4km in less that 9.44mins to achieve the gold standard. nonetheless, i will always try my best. :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPPT_Gold_Award_Badge

im kinda worried about SBJ tho. a pathetic 197cm lar. but i believe, i can reach 234 by the end of bmt lar. :D

i believe my running can be improved because we run like mad dogs everyday and chinups, ive already improved from 5 to 8 in 2weeks. im aiming for 12! rawr!!

im talking as if i am enjoy the army. actually, i do. the friends ive made are a great bunch of ppl and im really glad i have them because they really motivate me.

but in all seriousness, i finally realised the importance of a goal in one's life because it really strives one to achieve it.
