Forcing out the Second thought

we were all waiting at the auditorium…
2lt Bernard came in and talk talk talk to us..
then 1wo came in..
with a smile..
”im waiting for the CO to call me and confirm if he is coming..
if he is not.. then no 24hours training lor..”
the call came..
”CO not coming already.. lets go la..”
we were all stuck in between the believe or not mental status..
and as we exit the auditorium…
thunder flashes went off…
bom bom bom…
hell day has started!
pays to be a winner for the whole 24 hours..
chow runs.. boat pt.. swim.. sea circuit.. and the night of them all…. humming..
humbing.. for the start.. the class went together..
carrying field pack with sand bag of 10kg each..
we hummed.. 5 rounds around NDU.. timing to meet was 20mins..
at the 4th round.. all of us were still together..
2lt Bernard came with the buggy and told us that he want winners and losers.. if not no boat will be secured..
we didnt listen to him.. and continued as a class..
20mins 30+seconds.. no one secure..
the instructor said.. 5 rounds again..1 jerry can.. 20 mins.. 2 boats will secure
we went again..
so 2 boats secured and they went butt to nut and sleep..
then other 5 boats went again.. this time 3 rounds… 10 mins..
likewise.. 2 boats secure..
we went and 2 boats was secured..
mine didnt…
left 3 boats.. again 3 rounds in 10 mins
my boat did not make it again..
so.. we went again… so thats 19 rounds in total..
i hummed until my voice is gone..
hahahaha.. kind of weird when i think about it..
well.. the 19 rounds.. all we did not make it..
there was the last 3 rounds..
field pack off.. jerry can off..
we just have to run the 3 rounds.. and still 10 mins..
wao.. how did i survive it man…
then there was the grand finale..
the haka to be performed for CO Dive School..
we did the best haka we ever performed..
and halfway through the haka.. my tears came pouring down..
and and and finally.. we were secured and the 24 hours hell day is over..
the abrasions that everyone gets was really unbearable..
we see ourselves like a platoon of zombies when we were getting back to our cabins and enjoy our heaven day…

the 24 hours.. for me.. i learned really alot..
alot about how people gets selfless and the others getting selfish..
how to react you are tired.. and facing situation that you dont know if you can make it through..
how to think properly when lack of sleep and stuff like that..
thats 24 hours..
120 hours is coming our way.. 1 week to go…
some of us will be saying hell week is one week..
and some of us will be saying hell week is 120hours..
oh man.. this is really a big test for all of us..
i just wish that i can make it through…
Hooyah 31! lets make it through together!


went out with Ray Darren Chevy and Dear…
first time driving outside.. with all my close friends and gf in the car..
the state of mind was really to drive safely man..
hahahaha..
that a good steamboat in Tian Fu
