If only it was true that the results are releasing soon. Rumours have been spread from last last friday, to last Friday, and hopefully the last piece of information that it is this coming Friday would be true.

Not that i am very eager to see the “fabulous” results that i am hoping to get. It’s more of the 1 day off that i can get away from NS to collect my results and once again return back to school to visit all the has been all over again. The band, teachers, landscape and memories that was left and kept there.

Hopefully everything goes well, hopefully. Getting into the desired course is the ultimate goal right now, which it definitely has to come along with good grades.

This blog is starting to rot, seriously rot. Whenever i have some thought than i want to pen it down, i would tell myself that i will share it when i get home. But it seems that whenever i reach home, my brain would be so switched off that i forget what i initially wanted to say.

If only they allowed Laptops in camp, which they didn’t forbid just that the chargers are prohibited.

If you are wondering how’s PNS life is like. You’ll get what i mean in a couple of sentences below. Some of the things which we did the last week.

1. Watched a soccer match between Home United and Dalian Live at Bishan Stadium
2. Went for a Heritage Tour
3. Enough time at night to sleep and wake up to find that it’s not lights out time yet.

Well, of course i’m not complaining that it’s too slack in there, or rather it should be rephrased as most of the time we’re wasting time. But if time are being utilised properly, they could have well shorten the training period from 3 months to 2 months. Now that my batch has training for 4months plus, which makes the thought of this even more unbearable.

NS is a whole new disruption to the life for guys. Looking at your female friends of the same age entering University, while we are still serving the Nation. Completely switched off mind during the 2 years period and then back to books again. There are pros and cons to it, but the pasture at the other side always look greener and more delicious i have to say.

This is what has been spread around, and it seem pretty true looking at the state people around us are. The post NS syndrome, which makes people look older than they seem to be. With more serious look, and mature thinking… *shrugs* How true it might be, you determine it yourself.

But still, i want to be myself. The change might be gradual as we start to take on more roles and responsibilities after we pass out, and hopefully it’s for the better.

I did something extraordinary on Monday for my Night Training.

Still suffering from the depression that i failed my Standing Broad Jump ONCE AGAIN, i decided to do lunges with weights around the Unity Square a.k.a Parade Square of HTA.

If you have doubts about what lunges are the picture below will give you a better idea of what it is.

I thought it wasn’t going to be very tough initially, but when i first started like 50metres, i was already sweating like crazy and gasping for air and breath already.

Thankfully, i have great determination. I managed to finish the whole round of the Unity Square in approximately half an hour. Though i too many breaks, but still i am glad i finished it. I was one of the biggest feat i have completed in HTA.

Some statistics, for my leg length, i take 773 lunges to complete one round around Unity Square. Half an hour, with weights of 4.5kg on each side of my arm.

That explains the unbearable ache i am suffering on my thighs now, it makes it almost impossible for me to go down a flight of stairs or a slope. Slow jogging is still possible though.

Try it with caution, you will love the tightness on your thighs. Hopefully it aids in SBJ, giving me an extra boost in the next IPPT.
