The Highlight of the Week: Situational Test or Sit Test for short & The Singapore vs Thailand Match

caught the Singapore vs Thailand match in our annex room. rather half my company was there watching the match and our sgts were watching it too in the company office. haha. and the prelude to the match was very exciting. with us recruits doing everything super fast in really record time so as to be back in time for the match. RO too was also push forward so that we all could watch the match. haha. after that, the annex room was flooded with guys all wanting to watch the match. emotions were high as there were lots of cursing and swearing and booing during the match. and when singapore scored. everyone ran out and we created so much noise that during the sit test. Apache which was havin RO told us that they knew singapore scored coz of the noise we made. haha. we were all so darn happy that some even ran the entire floor shouting GOAL!!!! i guess the atmosphere there was like how it was back at the National Stadium. it is like watching the match live.

spend yet another 3 days outfield. but then this time round. the enviroment is slightly better. with fair and sunny weather and super cold winds. this time with nature is time well spent. reclaimed land is really a nice place to go for training. with tall lalangs and thick vegetation, not to mention lots of sand. you really have to go there to see for yourself. but the winds at night can be so super cold that we have to wear full no4 plus goretex, but then it still feel cold. brrrrr.

Day 1: basically lots of lessons as they taught us the basics that we needed to knw for the test. then it was admin time for the rest of the day, whereby we cougar babies had a gathering jus under the stars by a shady tree.

Day 2: Sit Test begins with us having to plan and excecute 6 missions with lots of running, arti drills, day movements etc. started off with a fast march that was more like running. haha it was tiring but fun. then it was admin time all the way again.

Day 3: last day of Sit Test. started the day with fast march and lots of tekkaning as the sgts try ways and means to tire us out. 6 missions to be completed and we did it very quickly. then it was back to company line.

it was only during sit test that we cougar babies realised how lucky we were to have sgts like our company sgts. coz at least we were treated like an equal, like a man. the other companies sgts do not really seem to treat the recruits like humans. more like lots of tekkaning and no welfare. whereas for Cougar there is a balance of both. welfare and discipline. it was only then that we begin to appreciate our sgts more. ya. and we all miss our company line, our beds, our buddies, our shower. haha. and for me, MY 2 PIECE KFC CHICKEN MEAL!!! lol.

training was quite xiong for the last week, esp for me coz i could not walk properly. partly due to my half healed ankle and the blister at my toe that was there since field camp. so it was quite an uphill task tryin to run. but well, lots of fighting spirit. muz press on and perserve. ok, that kinda crap la. haha coz i dun wan RT during block leave or on weekends ;) haha.

well, think this upcoming Valentine's is going to be a boring one again. coz i would be in tekong and my weekend burn again coz i am bookin out in the evening. this sucks man. :(( had plans and now have to postphone.
