Micheal Bolton - Go the Distance



I absolutely love this song. This will be my theme song for ASLC.

Yeap, i do have theme songs for challenges in my life.

Haha.

*

Well, i'm now no longer PTE. Phua,

i'm now CPL. Phua.

Yeap, BSLC is over, passed out on my birthday.. =)

So whats in stored you ask?

Well, Adavnced Section Leader Course (ASLC).

The course that will get me my Sergeant Rank.

Haha

*

For those wondering, yes, i got shortlisted for crossover

Only 5 out of 130+ guys were shortlisted in my Coy

I am SUPPOSED to go OCS.

In fact, my results and assessment made me more than qualified to crossover.

Even i managed to impress my OC and CO during the interview.

My OC said to me after the interview

"It is undeniable that you spoke the best during the interview, amongst

all the other candidates you were the best."


Ah frig, but why did i not crossover?

Well, the CO had doubts about my fitness, so they posted me to ASLC

for a second shot at it after 11 weeks.

And this time i intend to grab it and tenciously

hold on without letting go.

*

For my efforts in BSLC, i got Platoon Best.

Haha



*

It is bittersweet i must say, knowing that

i am one of the best in the entire cohort, yet because of fitness,

i'm unable to achieve my aim.

So its an amalgation of happiness and sadness.

But overall i've been satisfied with my performance during BSLC.

*

So more about ASLC,

yeap, it is physically more demanding, mentally more taxing,

but its touted as one of the most fun courses in the whole of SAF.

They say we'll have lots of fun...hmmm....OKAY...

The highlight of this course is that we'll be going ROC (Taiwan) at the

end of 6 weeks for a 3 weeks training program. Cool eh.

In between, we'll have things like M203, Demolitions live firings.

A 22Km round island run...hmmm, yea and i got my Beret already.

Like FINALLY, after 6 months. Haha

YAY.

*

So i celebrated my brithday while on my Graduation 32Km route March.

We walked till our legs got sore throughout the night.

From 7pm till 0530 the next day. It was fun, yet tiring.

but it really pushed much of our mental strength.

To overcome the tiredness, we had to just keep soldiering forward.

Thereafter, upon reaching Coy line, we only had about an hour to

rest before we proceeded to the Schoolfield for

the Parade.

This is the Cert all of us recieved, apart from our Chevrons.:)



*

But i guess the best part of my week, wasn't the route march,

nor getting my Chevrons.

But rather, having a wonderful dinner with 3 of my bestest pals.

Deborah! Rui! and YOHAN! at Cineleisure.

It was not bad, food wise and ambience wise. Haha, we had tons of fun..

especially when it came to the ice-cream part. =)


Me, Deborah, Rui and Yohan, in the midst of burning our food


in the midst of devouring an Ebi shrimp...notice the tail sticking out..haha

*

Oh well, that kinda wrapped up my week. Next week course starts,

gonna be one hell of a painful experience. But as always,

i will always do my best to achieve what i want in life.

*

OCS, though however elusive you are.

I will still make it.

A Failure is never final, when you begin again with the end on mind
