another update of the week...

these week was really tiring. had a lot of straining activities this week. First was the field camp in Marsling. although it is only a 2 days 1 night field camp. Was really tired after reaching back to camp. did not have a good night slp as the floor was really uncomfortable. and suffered quite a number of bruises and injuries all over my hands and both legs especially on the knees, and the 12km route march was really tiring. carrying a heavy load, walking up and down the roads and walking on broken road with gravels all sticking up, causing my feet to be super pain.

next after the field camp the following day we had a event called "Ultimate Detechment Challenge". It is an event where a total of 16 groups(detechments) compete against one another to see who is the strongest as a detechment and as a platoon. The tasks we were suppose to do were split into 4 stations.

Station 1: 400 Push-ups, 400 Sit-ups, 200 Chin-ups
Station 2: 1.5km casualty evacuation(60kg = 3x 20l jerry cans)
Station 3: Weapon proficency (Strip and assembly of weapons and IA drills)
Station 4: 50m Full-battle order leopard crawl

after all 4 stations, we are to walk a 9km route march in Full-Battle Order. Sadly to say i had to fall out half way nearing the end of the route march due to heat exhausted. vision was blurry, no energy at all, feeling damn warm all around, hands and legs were numb. and was really close to fainting. really really disappointed in myself not being able to hold on all the way to the end point. And im really sad and disappointed that we didnt came in first or second. nither did our platton came in 1st. We were super demoralised the whole day after seeing the results. Should i have not stopped my detechments and continue to push on. i believe my platoon would come in first. damn!

after that had lessons on grenade throwing and praticed using dummy grenades. Then the next day which is today. had a parent engagement session (something like parent meeting session in secondary schools) to show our progress so far.

now really tired. need rest.

and the whole of next week will not be back. will only be back on the following week due to another field camp. now it will be a 8days field camp in pulau Tekong. now im feeling really really stressed and scared that i will not be able to take it. argh!

Time to rest...
