hmm. i think im not gonna blog about what happened in camp pinncale.too long. and maybe a bit lame.
but..good experience^^
laughed a lot. until stomach cramp.
and some laughed until they cant walk.
lols. all thanks to one platoon mate from ahmad ibrahim sec.
hes name is adib.
will never forget him. haha.
i woke up exceptionally early today.
6.20 in the morning-_-
haha. cuz today i had 1 star kayaking training.
tml will be the test. today is just learning the basic fundamentals.
reached school just in time. 8am. but the bus was late.
there was an accident. and the bus is trapped in the traffic jam.
finally the bus came at 8.30. and we headed to kallang.
lols i forgot what the place was. but. its some sort of like NCC Sea training centre.
we changed into our wet pt kit. and we had some theory lessons before we headed to the sea.
and. we had to carry the kayaks and paddles there.
also. the safety boat too.
haha. we had a hard time pushing the safety boat there.
so damn heavy. but heng we have racks to put the kayak on and transport them to the sea.
we only have to carry a couple of them.
after we launched. we kayaked to a place where we kayaked to shore again.
and had our lunch near there.
lols. nearly everyone of us had chicken rice.
after lunch. we had to do the water confidence test. then a 50m swim in 5 min.
after that. we had our wet rescue. which is just capsizing yourself. and bringing the kayak back to shore.
after that. we have to sit on the kayak. as in not in the seat. but outside the seat.
then we had to paddle to the buoy. make a turn and come back.
lols. most of us couldnt balance ourself.
but good for me. ive got a good kayak. it balances well.
so i have not much problem balancing.
after that we had to back paddle to the buoy. then forward paddle to shore.
and before reaching the shore. we had to show the coach how we did the emergency stop.
as in 'braking'. i was lucky as i didnt fail that test. but many others did.
and they had to back paddle back to the buoy. and forward paddle back to the coach.
and execute the emergency stop over again.
haha. after that we paddled back to the sea training centre.
i was the first to reach^^ lols.
and of course. we had to carry the equipments back to the centre again.
we had a quick bath there. and we sat on a mini bus back to dunman again.
lols. i wonder how tml's training will be...
