Spent the two break days, studying for UKCAT which was worth it in the end but that shortened my holidays. Sigh. Went back had NE for the Wednesday morning. It was fun and we were to perform first, the judges understood our skit and gave us relatively high scores but we scored 2nd in the end because the audience took up 70% of the votes. Then went to Kranji for the start of 28K. 28K was hell. The first 4K was in uneven terrain and many of us were lagging behind for which we got scolded. Then when we reached our 16K rest point we had to endure a long gruelling 6K walk thinking it was only 4K. By the end of it all, i was just happy it ended. Had rifle cleaning till the next day morning 8am. Btw, it was from 8pm till 4am. It was a long march. Ate some instant noodles, read some comics and went back to sleep. The rest of the day was relaxing, more rifle cleaning and rest. Friday was a normal day. Had parade in the morning where we received our certificates, we are halfway( not-really) through our course. Then posting in the afternoon. Surprise, Surprise ended in Infantry. Dragged 3 heavy bags all the way home. It was a 2 hour long journey because the MRT kept stopping but at least i managed to sit all the way. Next day was Saturday, enjoyed a Good's day rest. Sunday had my UK CAT and surprisingly did well. Much better than expected. An average score of 720. Quite pleased with myself so went to buy subway to celebrate then rotted at home reading manga and watching movie. Spent Monday lunch at prego with my sis, then went orchard to buy comics and doby ghaut to buy books. Busted about 100 dollars and have 8 out 10 of the demonata series. Already finished reading 3 books and as usual i am hooked but at the same time with thoughts of infantry looming over me. So it really wasn't a great holiday but i still am glad that i have it. They say Alpha is the worst and infantry is tough and stuff i already know. But i feel that i should be able to survive it. I mean OCS is a lot tougher right and my peers and can survive through it so SCS should be fine. And know kiat long is on MC. So tmr will be a lonely day. Still in trepidation and now my computer is spoilt, hardware disk has problem or something. Hope it gets well, will send it for re-service soon. Hang on.
