Not bad...wait,its bad but..hurm....

On 19th of March, I woke up early to get ready and went to the 'pick up' point..
When I got there, there was so many people...After I registered myself, I got on the bus..I also met a few old friends which is kinda a relief to meet people that I know...
I arrived at the camp at around 2.30pm..

After that, I have to go through some basic medical check-up...then I got into my dorm..not bad....enough for me to say, I can sleep well...
I repacked all my stuff..put them into the locker..
At first, I don't really have any new friends cause everyone were like, a little snobbish and you know,ego..
But on 2nd day,I started to make friends and the number grew since then!Now, I have LOTS of new friends!haha...and most of them are kinda have quite same personality like me; funny,happy-go-lucky..felt like we know each other for months even though we've just met a week ago..

On the first week, we didn't really do much...just attend classes..'Character Building' classes..
~~~b0r!ng~~~
but still, the classes did help in improving my confidence and character..which is good..
I sleep quite a lot in class..hehe..still can't get rid of that...xP
The real challenge began on the second week...we have to march..we move around a lot..
The camp is quite huge..Its really tiring..
The food..not bad..I mean, I don't have any other choice..just eat it..haha..

All of the trainees were divided into 4 companies: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta...
I'm in the Alpha Company..What I like about being in this company is we are at the front line..so, every meal time, we going to take the food first =)haha

What I seriously hate is that we have to march, stand under the hot sun for hours..OMG...
Only god knew what we're going through..Many trainee fell sick including me..
Sometimes, even if just a few trainees were late, all of us get punished..
Then, the coaches there keep babbling,talking about discipline and punishment, while standing under the sun....sigh..
Last saturday,we have to wash the floor of our dorm..so, we have to move all beds and lockers out to the soccer field which is about 70m away...felt like, my shoulders going to dislocate everytime I carried them..the next day, my whole body was in pain..huhu..
good thing we don't have any program on sunday..just sleep and rest..hehe
Everyday, the earliest I could go to bed is at 11.30pm..Then, have to wake up at least at 5.00 am, which I rarely did at home..In my dorm,I'm always the last one to wake up..hehe..handwash the dirty clothes...
At 6.15am, we have to exercise..jog for a few kilometres, along the beach..
sigh....

But still, there's a few bright sides...Last friday and saturday, I was chosen to join a community service program..helping the locals for an event...Helping the elders...Chat and make jokes with them...My job was to deliver food to the guest and wash the dirty dishes..
Suprisingly,it was fun =) but I was really exhausted at the end of the day..
We also did Earth Hour program, turned off all lights from 8.30 to 9.30pm...light up candles..There was also some performance organized by the trainee here..

This week, we're having water activity..kayak,rafting...but I won't be able to do that cause I'm home right now..huhu..

At first, I did face some difficulties..strict rules...but after a while, I think I'm okay...I'm kinda getting used to it..Hopefully, I can face and do whatever challenges ahead....Everytime I wear the camouflage uniform, feels like, I'm really a soldier..xD
not that I want to become one..

hurm..that's it for now..I'll write more when I've the chance to get back home again..
Till then,bye!
