July 31!

Today was a typical friday,long n tiring. As usual, i had to stay back for my ncc training at 2.00pm. After gobbling up my food in a matter of minutes, I made my way to the library and hooked on to my favourite Mr. Midnight Book. I also met Kevin, Sheng Hong. Many ppl nowadays spend their time at the library. At about 1.45pm sharp i raced down at the speed of light(3,000,000m/s)to the bench-area at the parade square where we usually put our bags n stuffs. SOon i was all set for training.After 10 minutes of waiting, training began.One of our platoon-mates had forgot to bring No.4, some 4got bring beret,etc. so we faced the music-50pushups. I was able to do up to 40 proper push-ups but during the last ten i was huffing and puffing and sweating profusely.Later we had a course on map orientation-in other words,map reading skills.LAter we were given a test/trial to exhibit the skills that we had learnt.I learnt how to read a map, measure distances between any two points using map scales, using 6-figure grid references to locate a specipic place in a map, using a compass, pacing(measuring no of steps taken to travel a specific distance). In other words, it was more like an basic geography class. I got an overall score of 70/100 (reasonably well in my own opinion as some had got 6x). NEvertheless, some people got 8x-90x.Most parts of the test were quite easy. But i failed the pacing part dunno why ---....sad:(. It was a giveaway,could have boosted my score a lot. WASTED!1DAMN!
Soon traing ended and i strolled home enjoying the cool gust of wind that blew while sipping my MILO drink now and then to soothe myself.
It was definitely a fun and interesting training as anything was better than PT. It was a great day!!!LOLs
