u may be wondering where in the world did that last post popped up from

especially if you'v been checking back now and then

well...

cos i realised i didn't post that draft earlier on..

so well...

with a click of a button... tada!

haha ;)



just in case you're wondering where i've been

well.. for these few weeks, or rather the past month.. weekends have been rather packed... plus i m still on the snail slow 56k modem..



well.. life's still good in NDU

started sea swim and sea circuit

managed to clock pretty alright timing for starters

2km sea swim 43m58s

sea circuit 19m16s, most recent 18m21s



sea swim i didn't manage to complete the entire swim becos the buddy assigned to swim with me gave up half way becos of his cracked mask and a sprained ankle

so well, for the 2nd one, i paired up with my buddy kelvin tong and managed to pass

dun be fooled that although he may be one of the fatter guys in my batch, he can swim real well..

not forgetting he already have an open waters advance diving liscence



we started land phase 2 weeks ago

bought the expensive US jungle hat which replaces the heavy and awkward helmet which we wore during BMT

visited mandai TP5 quite a number of times for topography lessons

quite fun... but still... i can't stand the jungle

just take yesterday for eg. before training even start, instructor father koh told us to get wet in the big drain...

not that bad.. compared to rolling in the mud! but still... yucks!

guess he didn't want us to get dehydrated...

well... anyway.. seriously, more than half of my batch boys really dread the jungle

i overheard one 23rd senior say to one of my batch boys, "eh how come u guys land phase like still can smile one? during our land phase, everyday is a sad day"

LOL

well, the only explanation is that the smiles return when we are back in NDU

the shower, the dive pool, the SNT pool... shiok man!



k la.. gtg liao.. not blogging much...

before i go...

wish u guys a blessed christmas!
