To LEAD We DARE!
To EXCEL We WILL!
To OVERCOME We MUST!

Wow...This 3 weeks is really quite hectic for me. Had a couple of tests (and lucky I passed both =P) and learnt lotsa stuffs in such a short time. Going to have a fam shoot of SAR 21 and SAW this coming Mon after getting to learn more about these weapons. Nav was the toughest one in these week. I remembered once I holan-ed while bringing my section for night navi and we got lost walking up a hill. Ended up doing down hill again and then re-calculate the coordinates and luckily, got my section to the chk pt. Haha. Really tiring coz the terrain of the hill was hard to move arnd. Then the best part was the Leadership Fieldcamp. Wow, imagined getting turned out early in the morning, getting pumped in FBO, then run about 2-3 clicks in the same gear, leapord crawlled a while in SBO gear in concrete ground and then run back in FBO. Shiok sia, life never been so 'good'. Another highlight was the Chemical Defence lesson. Got a chance to try out the chemical defence suit and wear a gas mask. Was to test the suit out in a gas chamber filled with Tear Gas. One part we were suppose to take off the mask and report of rank, name, NRIC, platoon, section and bed with our eyes open. Wow, it was sensational. It was like taking wasabi and rubbing it on my eyes and they teared like mad. And when I took in a breath, my whole throat was choked. Bleahx...wad an experience.

Today had OCS Leadership Challenge, OCS Family day and Carnival and OCS Aniversary celebrations. I took part in the tug-o-war and our team only trained for 4 days. Seriously, our Wing SM was GOOD!!! Nothing but good, outstanding, excellent, BRAVO! He trained us mentally and physically in such a short notice and imparted his techniques to let us defended the champion title BRAVO WING had always been getting. (lost only once 2 years ago in 7 years) YEY~! Felt damned good at the last pull where we pull down our opponent and all of us fell back to the ground while the opponent fell forward. The whistle was blown and I juz lied there on the ground, not wanting to get up. The feeling of excitment and happiness juz overwhelmed my as the fatigue sets in. Haha. CHAMPIONS!!! =D

Woot. Damn tired now. Not having enough sleep for the past 2 weeks and my mind is really shutting down every now and then to get a short rest. Haha...gotta rest now, update another time! =D
