Preparation for NDP 2005 GOH (Part II)

Today was the LAST combined practice of the GOH contingent at Changi Air Base.. Next week onwards, our rehearsals wld be at Nee Soon Camp (which is juz a 5-10mins bus ride from my camp!).. and these rehearsals wld be a combined one (which is all the marching contingents come together!)

Today we concentrate mainly on our marching (which is quite up to standard i muz say) and the "fires of joy" (dun koe the French name for it!).. the "fires of joy" has the shiokest (if there was such a word!) feeling of all.. if all do at the same time, then, its real nice!! man.. i dun really koe how to explain.. you have to be doing it urself to experience tat kind of shiok feeling!! =)

but then, we were tired out today.. mainly is our right arm.. becos' we are carrying our rifles in a specific position for close to 30mins.. so naturally, your hand will ache after some time.. the muscles wld turn stiff.. and considering the rifle is abt 3kg.. so yupz.. arms will always ache when i hold the arms for too long.. but tat is one sacrifice i must make to be in GOH!

then came back to camp but there was a bit of delay sending back our rifles to the armoury.. was feeling a bit vexed becos of tiredness as well as i'm hungry.. at 1.30pm.. we still had not had our lunch yet.. naturally, u wld feel vexed.. "a hungry man is a angry man".. isn't this true??

but all was all right when we ask our officer to bk in tml morning rather than tonite before 2359 and guess wat!! he agreed!! becos' tml we will mount duty a bit later than usual.. so ya.. Thank God!! becos' of this, i then can attend cell group peacefully!! ha..

still waiting earnestly for my vouchers from SingNet.. man.. aren't I'm excited!!

ok lah.. gtg and do stuff before my cell mates come over..

Ciaoz n have a GREAT weekend ahead,
