Okay
Yes im back from LTC and im in one piece
sit back, relax, get abag of popcorn
this is going to be a long post

must read all hor dun waste my finger muscle energy

DAY 1
TIME:10
reached church,everyone marvelled at how BIG my back pack was
from my butt to abt slightly over my head
i am nt kiasu okay, the boots took up one quarter and it is super confined?
boots plus ground sheet = half the bag
then we falled in adn began to fill up the most murderous thing in LTC
a 25 litre JERRY CAN which weighs about 25 kg each
it was heavy seh~
carry 10 steps u can put down oready
then loaded everything in to bus set off to ltc abt the last time we breathed in air connned air
sat with daniel and tried to sleeep with him back pack made it impossible
reach the jetty to pulau ubin
all the sirs kept encourageing us to all go home or we will be a burden to the others
nobody went back
duh
then sat on the boat and i almost fell in the sea cos of DUMB back pack lucky stephen sir supported me
then we went to the basketball court and ate lunch
and then, we spilt in to two groups and headed to the 18th level of hell, PUNAI HUT
and im already thinking too much about where yao de is

TIME:2.00++
began to trek with two 25kg jerrycan
then everyone grab the jerry can walk ten steps rest
that will never work
stephen sir told us to think of a way
we got a perfect idea from bryan
to put the jerry can on one ground sheet and share the load between 4 person
then, we lost our way in the jungle until we scouted the area and went in again
my sweat almost reached my underwear liao
then stephen sir forced me to carry this long long stick with a fruit attached to one end
i was not allowed to help the rest anymore
i have to support the 50 grams stick
talk abt gulit
then we reached the camp before the other team and get to rest

TIME:4.30++
the worst thing happened
PASA LA MAM
pour out every single thing in ur bag, and pour is like filp it over and shake as hard as u can till everything drops out
then put it back in 4.30 mins which is extremely long conpared to the past campers who did it in 2.30 mins
then, hanyang sir began to see that our batch was not the good one maybe abit below avg
haiz
the GB girls were right then, this year sec 2 really suck including me

TIME 8.00
the famous tribal council started
we had to vote out a person which slacked the most
once again, we disappointed the sirs once we saw a perso being voted by quite a number of people,we all aim the person
the sir was angry at us for that
they said that we were killing each other when we were supposed to save each other
then we powder bathed and slept

TIME:11.00++
i did the first sentry duty with two other 84th guys and started the fire and circulated the camp, watching out for wild boars
then went to sleep after 1/2 hours of sentry duty

DAY2
TIME:2.00++
was woken up roughly as the sir was giving us some kind of punish ment
turned out that a few boys sat by the fire talking about their girl friends
which from and reliable information said that the topic included sheryl and chang yen
well well,
in pumping position for like 15 mins( if your nt an ex LTC pls dun smirk at this 15 mins can kill )
changed in to half-u in like 2-3 mins
then we did hentak for 10 mins ba forgot le
then hanyang sir was scloding us all the time
we were given three warnings but realy cannot make it
three warnings le the ppl outside still talk so loud that the sir hut which was 30 meteres away could hear us
good luck to the above mentioned girls
then went to sleep dreamily

TIME:7.15++
in the morning, everyone did not unpack their marsa and went to bursh teeth we were supposed to unpack our tent by 7.30 but by 7.30, got ppl just woke up
then we falled in got scolding from sirs,
went in pumping position like another 15 mins while waiting for ppl to unpack their marsa
almost died too, too much blood in brain
then the sirs gave up on us
he told us that what we wanted to do in this camp
the sir cannot teach anymore
that woke me up
the sir was like ask us`so what you all want to do? nothing then we go jetty and all can go home le we give up`
i was angry,fustrated,sad,disappointed
angry at ourselves for the early in the morning wake up call for sirs, furstrated that we werent given a second chance, sad and disappointed for duh reasons
then the sir gave us the toughest training ever
the `elimination contest`

TIME:9.00++
we were forced to do things like run to a far tree with back pack on and come back, last would be out of LTC and would fail the camp
thou my back pack was seriously big, AQ helped me once again and i managed to coplete these phsyical challenges
then there were the thinking chanllegnes
pick up 20 stones and line up in one infront of sir
last to show sir the stone is out
this round, u sld grab like 30 stones and count them when u are in the queue
ppl that counted one by one, good luck
then left about 20 survivors among the 29
alpha ten, bravo abt ten oso
then we had to grab aground sheet and try to run to the tree with our back pack
only problem, when sir shout `HORNET ATTACK!!!`
all ten mus hide under two ground sheet and lie flat on the ground, trying to crawl to the tree and back
well, alpha won that and me, jing shun, qijie, jordan and 6 others survived
the rest got their backpacks on and hanyang sir said he was bringing them to the jetty to go home
from 29 t0 10
we all were really dejected..
like ur famil left u alone like that
stpehen gave us some motivational talk and we went back to camp
( remember this 15 people took about 45 mins with 2 jerry cans to walk 600 metres remember it)

TIME:4.00++
we sat on a van to the village to fill up the jerrycans
we had ten people
3 jerrycans
one jerrycan 25kg 3 = 75kg
how long would it take for us to walk 600 metres with the above given information, guess the timing we took

(very hard to make lei this ---------------------> ) {*}

10 ppl + 3 jerry can( 75kg ) + 600 metre = 16.48mins
:D
a wonderful record right?
that is my greatest achivement in the camp
:D
to make things better, we saw the other eliminated team by a hut
we knew they were coming back then
then later, the team came back
woohoo
then we had lunch
and 12 volunteers iwent to carry fish and 100+ drinks to camp
the fish is still alive one lei
later mus kill and eat for dinner
then when we reach the camp site with the fish, the others were being punished again by pasa ma lam
then we joined them after a break and went to kill fish and do camoufalge
hanyang sir ask for voulunteer to be his dummy to put paint on
earlier on i knew that being volunterr was good cos we caryy fish then got 100+ to drink later as a reward
so i volunteered and hanyan drew all over my face
then i had to lie flat on the field to see if they can spot me
haha i volunteer so no nid draw my self
hanyang will pick one draw ungliest and he cant possibly pick me as he drew him self
haha thenw e went on to killing the fishes
i was the last one to kill and had to kill it fast
i was in a frenzy liao just cut open the stomach and dig out the stomach intestine and pull out gills and descale the fish
phew~
my hand stank man..
then we cook the fish but it was too dirty so nv eat
then we trek to pama beach which is hmm, 5km++ away from camp
now we had 29 ppl and 5 jeryy cans AND every HOURS WILL HAVE ONE CALSUALTY
which means every hour, one person will be chosen by sir and he cannot help cannot talk cannot walk the others have to carry him
and i was chosen
as the second one
that was tough lor
trevor piggy backed me and he was like sweating all over and i felt real bad
the rest was heaving the jerrycan sweating and i was dry
u will really feel very gulity and bad
-.=
then reach had tribal council we didnt change much shoot the same person other shoot
then i was chosen by 6-7 ppl as the best trainee
but im really nt sure abt where i sld go and which post to take
me as squad leader many ppl already say wah this kind of ppl oso can arhz
then if get high post they would really look down on BB
so if im nt the best trainee, i shant go for posts with `SM` behind de
if i am best trainee, at least i have the sir support
lol this is not a threat to the sir to force them make me best recruit hor
being csm or asm is not the only way to help lead BB what
even normal sec 3 oso can
well our LTC was nt as tough as the previous ones
now that LTC is over, i feel kind of relived and sian
cos the three days, the sirs really didnt push us to the limit
well it was tough for me but when i compared to other that kill quill and trek 7km frm church to yishun be4 they go ubin
ours was like chicken feet
did we really completed LTC?
or just a tougher RTC?
even GB do more push up than us
at the cross road of my life now i think
