Yeah! As per topic, the 5th in camp training (ICT) has been cleared and I managed to get silver for IPPT. Although this is my first CatY IPPT, my 2.4 timing still improved compared to last year. Some training always beats no training. Hope my buddy will be able to get IPPT silver upon his retry..
The platoon really has got some very colourful characters and never fail to make the bunk a lively one. Here are some of the main characters...
Kelvin: The resident blur king and eccentric soldier. New UDM (Ultimate devastating move) is peeing into a plastic bag on the moving 5 tonner.
ZW aka 'qi2 cai2' or 'rare prodigy': Really funny guy whose mindset was under assault by the Master of Persuasion. UDM is playing card games with zero facial expression.
TK aka Master of Persuasion: The man who can turn day into night, good into evil, and so on..
UDM1: Shitting beside my 5 tonner.
UDM2: Reverse brainwashing (especially on Kelvin and ZW)
UDM3: Making up super funny nicknames.
Chin aka Mickey Mouse/President Cockanathan: The mumbler who never fails to have a cock up occasionally and ends up being .. mickey mouse 'wan ren mi'
Chew aka 'niao ci' or lao shu: Sometimes grumbles and is the type that refuses to lose. Has to be handled by TK.
UDM: Eating other people's food.
Willis: The tall one. Make it very tall.
Chan: Contagious laughter and likes to tease Chin, Kelvin and ZW.
Weiming: Goody 2 shoes, occasionally comes up with a wisecracker.
Edwin: Loves to fish, ogles at FHM and Maxim to no extent.
Jason: Goes on and on bragging about his 'friend's friend'. Can be irritating sometimes. Helpful guy though, is part of my team.
Ganesan aka sparrow: A very funny, happy go lucky guy who is helpful and responsible. Humour level has gone up considerably after his baby was delivered.
PC aka hardcore: Likes to outdo everyone in the hardcore way. Swears with a vengeance. Luckily he is helpful although it only extends within the platoon.
Beng: My buddy during active days and never fails to look out for me. Currently a fitness freak and we're gonna run the Stan Chart 21km half marathon.
Henry: Normally quiet and reserved, also comes up with wisecrackers at times. Can be considered to be the scholar in the platoon.
