4 Weeks of SHIT!

4 weeks had passed since the day i was enlisted in NDU. Training was tough and is going to be tougher as day goes by. The 1st weeks was the hardest. I found myself struggling to follow up with the Physical Training session. I wasnt able to keep up with the count when doing push ups. Other exercise like flutter kick, leg raise, swimmer exercise. etc which work on the trunk and leg muscle was easier.

As days passed, i improved and soon by the 4th week, i realised myself doing push ups at breeze up till 40 counts. Hammering sesssion was peanut. I used to hate hammering session cause i always suffer badly at push ups. Especially when the instructor mix in 2 counts and 3 counts push up. Now, it was just a mental ordeal.

I did a 8min 20s for my 1st 2.4 orientation run. I believe i am able to do a 8min 10s at my best effort. At my 1st IPPT, i did 11 pull ups, amazing! My 2.4 was 8min 42s. I was quite surprise by the timing. I was running at slightly above my threshold pace to achieve the timing. I believe i can do a sub19min 5km. HAHA!

6weeks more to Physical Conditioning Phase. I need to be physical fit so that evolutions can be easier and i can survive through e "HELL WEEK". I was determined to complete 100 push ups 3 sets of 20 neck rotation and 3 sets of 20 flutter kick and leg raises everyday day. Reps will increase and more other exercise will be included as i am near to PCP.

Every book out keeps me motivated to fire-up at all evolutions. Because this is the only time i can spend with my families and friends. I dicispline my self to do a bike (sat moring), a swim (sat afternoon) and a run (sunday moring) every week. 1st half of my satand whole of sunday was given to my family, 2nd half of sat to my friends. I think i really spend my weekends fruitfully and not wasted playing games and sleeping. Of cause i need to ensure adaquate amount of rest to recover.

Next week, 5thWEEK in NDU, and i am so un-heng to be the IC. Selection was done purely by luck. Two 11Bs was drew at random. Thats how it was done. And i am the "HENG" 1. Mark was the second IC. Hope that everything will flow smoothly. BTW, going for excursion this sat at discovery center, meaning book out will be in sat afternoon.

SAD SAD SAD.. WHat to do? SUCK IT UP LAR
