Physical strength=100%
Mental strength=60%
Today quite stress becoz i have been walking rounds and rounds in Junction 8 with can_soup and VJ to get a Birthday present for Rajan this afternoon.. They were my poly classmates and buddies. Rajan's birthday falls on April Fool, so we must make haste for finding his present.After much discussion, we bought him a Liverpool jersey. But we felt this was not enough as 7 pple are sharing this present for his 21st B.day. So we went to bugis to shop for a cap and extra shirt after we walk around in sim lim square. I have to look out for the price of pentium IV also.Its a relieve that everything's set by now....Now we have to wait for his B.day to come.
My friend's Birthday is falling on 2nd April. Hahahaa i am thinking what to buy for her , how to celebrate her birthday with my other group of friends....

What we do in the swimming pool
In the swimming pool, we have to swim..swim..swim.... The swimming pool is under control by 2 Physical Training Instructors (DPB:1983)and 5 life guards (DOB:1981-1982). So we click with them. The PTI will tell us to swimming training almost everyday.Then beside that, we have got nothing to do. So we freetime normally go gym(just 1 min walk from swimming pool), play basket ball or soccer daily..Some different groups of pple come to swimming pool to stay with us as they have to wait for their next course.Well since we stayed from dec till april.We have seen many batches of these pple.They love swimming pool becoz they can play nice tough games.We swim and swim until quite tan.then play soccer,basketball..gym.Yah almost forgot,we will sometimes take a sit outside facing the swimming pool, get some fresh air and sun tanning while reading a book or something.Hm..what a healthy lifestyle~Life goes on till april the 7th,Like a chalet~~
What's exactly happened after i get out of Basic Military Training 17th dec '02?
I have been posted to Navy at sembawang camp at 17th dec '02.I am part of the 65 people going to the Junior Rating course.But we were later told that 5 of us have to be out of the class and wait for the next batch class which falls on the april.Hm...so how are the 5 people?
The In charge Staff seargeant took us to the our rooms to unload our stuff. Then we went to swimming pool to take Cat 2 test. Well, i dunno what happen to me, but when i know that next batch class is on april'03, i suddenly dunno how to swim at all or maybe i originally dunno how to swim well . So i swim about 10 meteres then i touch the wall.Fail. Well there are about at least 10 pple out of 65 fail the criteria of even swim the whole 50 m,.But i request to be out of this class when he ask those who fail to swim well: who wants to be out of the class.The other 4 person seems to raise their hands as well with relunctance.So...we were posted to the swimming pool changing room until 7th arpil '03
The benefits of Cat 1 personnel is that they can go home or come back wearing home clothes.(no shorts or bermudas and must be collar shorts)
Cat one personnel who are staying in the camp can get to book out 12 pm SATurday and return around sunday night.
But CAT 2 or 3 have extra swimming lessons and get to book out at around 3.30 pm. If u are staying in, even these 3 hours are very precious to u.And book out have to wear navy uniform.white shirt and dark blue pants and black polished shoes.
Category 3 swimmers= This is the starting Catagory for non swimmers or those who fail the CAT 2 test.
Category 2 swimmers=Passed Category 2 test which is have to swim 50 m then tread water for 5 mins non stop (center of pool)Depth=3 m.After that have to jump from the diving board which is around 2.5 m from ground into the pool,3m deep.
Category 1 swimmers=Passed Category 1 test which is have to wear Coverall( look like those air con technician costume,dark blue and is a whole zip up costume)then have to swim 50 m then tread water 5 mins (center of pool)and then have to take out your coverall and make a float out of it.Upper body lie on the float and swim about 20 m to get up to the pool..Jump from diving board again with your coverall.
Every Navy personnel have to take a sort of swimming test.This is to see how well you can swim. If u can't swim, they will most likely send you back to army.Simple right? Just like when u are in the circus stage, u can't perform and they will kick u out.I Like Navy as well as Airforce, but not Army.I will explain that when days to come.
CAT tests are supervised by Physical Training Instructor.At least 1 life guard is there to make sure safety precautions are made.
Physical Strength=60%
Mental Strength=90%=
Today is a D.day for me.Becoz i have passed swimming CAT 1 today morning 11am.~!!!!!.Its a feeling which's cannot be discribed.Off the stupid heavy load off my body.I will try to talk less about what's exactly happening in the Navy.Becoz if u in Army,navy or perhaps school ,company, u will also facing the same problem of what to write in your diary.What u have been doing there is almost repeating day by day.U can call it De Javu.
Today 2 pm play soccer on the basketball court till 4pm.Then immediatly changed and swim 28 laps.Thats explain y physical strength 60%.I find out that in the army, no need to do much thinking unless u are in the Army's Situation Test .Or else U will be finding yourself following orders all the time.Jogging,gym training, go for range(shoot at targets with scores taken down),marching,cleanning your room. Where got use brain one.~i think i over-exagarated a bit, They studied alittle,modules on what vocation they are in.Which seems to be easy to pass. erm, where am i.Oh yah. i will explain what is the Cat system is right now...(cough cough)
