the jellyfish is back! First of all, happy new year to everybody!

Going to 2011 means a few things...

1. Everybody is a year older, and therefore expecting another birthday within the next 365 days. =P

2. New commitments, new tasks, new responsibilities!
3. A year to start everything over again
4. Tearing the 11 tab instead of the 10 tab for the year part in the parking coupon.
5. Wishing Ying Xiang from SOH a happy birthday! ^^

Blogging about 2 things in this post. Oh wait, must learn from what i learnt in BRTC

Scope

1. Summarised life in BRTC
2. Spending New Year's eve with click 5.

Learning objectives

- To be able to appreciate my life with full, little or no understanding of the post.

=D

1. Summarised life in BRTC

A lot of 1st time happenings I experienced. It is the 1st time that

- I felt strong homesick, even the one in OBS is nothing compared to this.
- I understand endurance training is beyond endurance PT lessons.
- I saw someone almost mentally breaking down due to high stress.
- I heard life experiences totally different from JC life.
- I have to resist and endure my anger against people.
- I am the minority for a lot of common things in life.
- I socialised with people from all walks of life.
- I thought of repayment, retribution and revenge.

Generally woke up like 4+ in the morning and sleep at around 10 at night.

PT lessons for Delta company are manageable, compared to other companies. Really can make people lose weight, and yea muscles ache, all the random stuff in the guidebooks are real. Wahaha!

Hated endurance training but loved aqua jogging, since the hot sun + swimming pool = great combination. ^^

Footdrill lessons are fun, sad that I am not in the footdrill squad, but oh well. Practise hard, and hopefully can learn something fun in the next few weeks.

The food in BRTC is great! Even for the low-fat diet my company is having, curry chicken, curry veg, fishcakes, sausages, nt bad wor! =D

Lectures and tutorials in the afternoon really can make people sleep, another endurance training. ^^

Somehow a lot of ppl can really echo out loud during fridays, probably due to it being a book-out day. Haha! People also look happier and gain back their sense of humour as the day passes by in the week. =D

So a typical day goes like this.

5: Wake up, water parade, 5BX
6: Breakfast, bunk cleaning
8: PT lesson
10: A random lesson
12: Lunch + bunk cleaning again
2: A random lesson
4: PT lesson
6: Dinner
7: Water parade, resting in bunk
10: Sleep

Starting to get used to life in BRTC, but the day is still very long! Nvm, 5 more weeks of PTP, and is back to 5 weeks of mugging, and then POP and goodbye to the worst period of my life! ^^

Ganbatte to my members, members of the public, and myself!

2. Spending New Year's Eve with click 5.

Yong Xiang was absent.

So anyway, met up with SY, CY, JM and Tean for dinner at causeway point at around 4.30pm. Went to eat a simple meal in the foodcourt and talked about life in BRTC and gave advice to CY about surviving in BMT. =P SY and Tean should be slacking all the way, so not much to be done there! Ate the sesame seed sauce fish rice for dinner from Pots and Pans.

How was the food, you may ask. Learning from my Sir, 'OUTSTANDING!'

Speaking of that, after we have learnt the oustanding from our Sir, we used this knowledge and application swiftly in the following scene.

-----------------------------------------------------

- After a tough day and obviously worn out training, with our PTI and sir looking at us -

PTI - Physical Training Instructor

PTI: So recruits, how was the training today?
Many recruits: OUTSTANDING!
(Whispered to myself: Bloody liars)
PTI shouted: Fk you all outstanding! This is meant to be tiring!
Recruits: ... we are meant to reply this... (mumbles, curses)

PTI: So i ask u all again, how is the training today!!?
Recruits: Bloody tired la, want to die already... (curses)
Sir: Fk u all!!!
Recruits: LOL!! =D

----------------------------------------------------

Oh anyway back to the outing. We then went to Party World KTV at Civic Centre until 8pm to sing a few random songs. JM was seriously very enthu, the others were not bad, and I was coughing all the way. :( Click 5's taste of songs seriously differs a lot from o3-ians. o.o The dosage of chinese songs has been cut by at least half, and perhaps I prefer the former's taste. Haha.

The snacks consisted of tapioca chips and wheel snack, which were ok. I drank cold chrysanthemum tea for the drinks, which was ok too. The total amount added up to $10.35 per person. For about 2 hours with snacks, drinks and friends around u, the price seems reasonable. ^^

After 8, SY left us (probably to find Reg or his parents) and the rest of us then went my house. =D

2030 hrs: Went down to the shelter near my house and I practised footdrill, while Tean was playing his TNT sparklers. Practising footdrill with JM was fun, since u can really learn smth and revise from ur mistakes w/o waiting for anyone who is slow...

Also learned some future learning points from JM and showed Tean and CY how a water parade is like. ^^

2115 hrs: Slacked in my room and played cards. Played cheat and 21-point or dunno wad is that called. JM sucked in the former and is pro in the latter. Punishments were push-ups. Lol! Never did a lot of push-ups. I think only 8 for that night.

2230 hrs: Bathe, slack, stone, and talk about life. JM and I also updated about our life in BRTC, while Tean and CY were chatting. =D

2350 hrs: Watched TV and counted down. =D

0000 hrs: Happy new year! 6 handshakes took place. =P

0005 hrs: We went down to 7-11 since JM and CY wanted to taste some alcohol. Tean and I didn't try any alcohol though. A lot of ppl were wandering about the carparks and pathways at this auspicious timing. ^^ After buying the drinks, we walked back to the shelter and played more sparklers. I tried playing 3 of them, 2 of them i wrote wishes for the year, the other 1 was a testing-out. Practised more footdrill.

0055 hrs: Went back to my house since Tean was tired.

0100 hrs: Lights off, last movement, sleep!

--------------------------------------------

It was another bright and beautiful day.

0700 hrs: Being told to wake up at this timing, then realised the rest were still sleeping. Chat with my father about life. ^^

0745 hrs: Wash up, and we went to the small hill in front of my house and demonstrated 5BX to CY and Tean. First time I played the role of a random PTI, how cool is that! Everybody enjoyed the short and sweet 5BX. =P

0830 hrs: Breakfast, with me eating a dim sum breakfast consisting of pau, prawn dumplings and prawn chee cheong fun. Nice! ^^

0915 hrs: stoned, slacked and played more cards, with half-squats as punishments instead. Talked about a lot of random rubbish. ^^

1030 hrs: Tean, CY and JM decided to go home and have some rest. So thats a goodbye and it was indeed a meaningful countdown with click 5. ^^

Thanks guys!
