This past week i think has been the most xiong in the pti course.And also the most down and disappointing for me.
I managed to pass my SOC the last time right on the dot 8mins59sec. But this time round, i even failed the swing trainer obstacle, and my timing was 10m44s. abt 2mins deprovement. DAMN.
After the test, bcoz of our lousy no. of passes, we gotta do the obstacles over and over again for 6 times. It was damn shag. No kiddin.
"PRESS ON!!!" our course commander kept shouting.
Thats only one event. Throughout the week, we also had speed trg, circuit trg, weights trg, and top it off, b4 we booked out, one last whack on our body by the instructors for abt 30mins i think.
When i woke up this mornin, i swear to god man. My body wasnt mine. LOL. seriously. I had trouble gettin up la!!
Haiz. But thats not all.
We had assignments to do over the weekends.
One is to get a National coaching cert. Gotta come up with a year training schedule for a athelete on a sport of your choice. Sounds really interesting eh? But damn tedious project. And damn difficult to pass.
Another one is coming up with lesson plans for our teaching tests. We gotta teach particular stuffs for swimming, weights, soc, different trainings. Each exercise = 1 lesson plan. Thats like ALOT la. Nvr tell us earlier. Teach us this week, next week starts. Crazy man.
To top it all off, on monday is another SOC test + SOC endurance training. WAH. Den next week first FBO SOC.
Need I say more? =(

Scotty's goin' crazy...

Haiz...

Been watching football for over 10 years now.
Started out supportin everyone's favourite winning team, Man u.
Switched to Newcastle only during my secondary sch days, because of their playing style, culture, the loyal supporters and of coz Shay Given and Alan Shearer. Ever since then, close friends kept makin fun of me, tellin me what a lousy football club it is. But i didnt bother. I wanna be one of those 50,000+ supporters supporting them week in week out even if they lost. I wanna be part of the atmosphere at st james park.
And u know what, i got my dream just last yr. I actually caught a match LIVE at st james park. Against the club i supported as a young boy, man u. Although Newcastle lost 5-1, I didn't care abt the result. I was just glad to be there, proud to be supporting my favourite club. I even bought 2 jerseys, one home team, and another a Shay Given jersey. I was just so damn ecstatic, and just wanted to savour every single second there.
Now, with the club derailed with problem after problem this season, i was really disappointed and felt really sad. I was really upset when Given left, that I told myself I will not watch anymore of their matches for the rest of this season.
But 2day, I watched them play. The 2nd half against Arsenal. They had to win. Already in the relegation zone, they HAD to win. But they sucked. They are going down, for sure. Is it really cursed when I bought the Given jersey, he left immediately the next season? I really hate myself for supporting them now, they suck! Why the hell i supported them in the 1st place? fcukin suck to the core. I feel sick when i see them play. If they get relegated, they deserve it fully. Not by luck, but their own doing. Its just torturing to see them play. In fact, i hope they go down, so they will learn their fcukin lesson and rebuild with a new manager. Totally lost all faith in them and for once embarrassing to be a supporter of Newcastle United.

Finally managed to stop procrastinating and change the song..haha.
I know its like a freakin old song, but i just got to hear it like few months ago. Slow right? damn.
Anyway, better late than never. I love the part where the song turns rock style. Just turns me on. haha. And i wanna learn the guitar chords for this also la. damn damn nice. Enjoy! ~

When I see your smile, Tears roll down my face
I can't replace.
And now that I'm strong, I have figured out,
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul.
And I know I'll find deep inside me, I can be the one.

I will never let you fall. (let you fall.)
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be there for you through it all. (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.

It's okay, It's okay, It's okay-ay-ay-ay-ay.

Seasons are changing, And waves are crashing,
And stars are falling all for us.
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter,
I can show you I'll be the one.

I will never let you fall. (let you fall.)
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be there for you through it all. (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.

Cause you're my, you're my, my-e-y-e-y,
My true love, my whole heart.
Please don't throw that away.
Cause I'm here... for you!
Please don't walk away and,
Please tell me you'll stay!

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Stay!
Whoa-oh!

Use me as you will!
Pull my strings just for a thrill!
And I know I'll be okay,
Though my skies are turning grey! (grey! grey! )

I will never let you fall!
I'll stand up with you forever!
I'll be there for you through it all,
Even if saving you sends me to heaven!

I will never let you fall!
I'll stand up with you forever!
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven! (continues until fades out)

1 mth down, 2 more to go!!

Yeaps. 2 more mths to officially becoming a PTI! haha. Really hope i dun Out.Of.Course man. I think i will totally break down.
Spent quite a lot of time in the pool this past week, learning aqua jogging, simply jogging in water. Seriously. haha. Trust me, its not as easy as it looks. LOL.
Fact: Aqua jogging in the pool for 1km is equvilent to 5km on land! Ratio 1:5! Crazy rite? im not gonna run anymore. hahaha. We also started to swim in our uniform w/o boots. I feel like every stroke i take, im being pushed back by the water. Freakin uniform damn heavy. We also managed to try our first jump off the 3m board! Haha.
Gotta cut down on drinking! 3 weekends straight le! Damn. =)

Army Fitness Centre. Physical Training Instructor!!!

I know. I know. I dun look an inch like one. haha. C'mon gimme some face can? =)

Has really been a crazy 2 weeks, adapting to my new place for the next 3 mths.

We gotta study like human anatomy, and physiology. Which means, like single bone and muscle name, we have to know them. Heard of Latissimus Dorsi, or Tibialis Anterior before? Thats what im talkin abt. Haiz, theory tests next wk!! damn.

Got this feeling, army's drifting me and my parents apart. Every week i book out, i make it a point to spend at least a day in the weekends with them. Even though now without a maid, I still help clean up the house, try to do my own laundry and stuffs without complaints. So of course, its fair that i have the rest of the time to myself agree? These 2 weeks, had been hanging out till quite late drinking and movies, just to take my mind off the regimental stuffs for a while. But, they are still unhappy with me. "I think next friday u might as well dun come back, everytime hang out until so late." At that point in time, i didnt really feel much. But thinkin back, really hurts a lot. Its not as if im not helpin out with anything, its not as if im not accompanying them, its not as if i dun give a heck abt my family. i just wanna enjoy my book out to the fullest. Am I wrong? Do they not understand me at all? Haiz. dunno la. wads the point of booking out when i cant even lay back and relax. The whole house seems so quiet to me now...without my sis, bro and maid around..

Just wanna faster pass out and finally get a better life..probably only then, things will be better...

Scott

no guard duty??

Argh. Damn *** sometimes. Seriously dunno how they organise stuffs. Plan swee swee on paper, but in reality everything cocks up. Only when duty is abt to start, they start to claim, "wah. so many ppl?" Hear alr so damn stun. Den in the end, "ok. you all may go book out now." Really dunno to be happy or sad. Booked out on sat mornin, went out, booked back in at nite. Den book out sun mornin, book in back at nite again! U tink i stay right beside the camp ar! kaoz.
