Well it's about time i guess.
I finally did it, i passed my freaking survival Swimming test.
I mean it's just a great feeling to know that actually i can swim afterall.
Nothing big happened in this week, other then my swimming that is.
But when you something your sure to get a reward right?
Well i was'nt sure i was going to get a reward, but i did.
See on friday afternoon we got our posting to go to which vocation we wanted.
I chosed to study on the Ship's radar and all, and i got it.
Then we had nothing to do, so they decided to let us off, but only the one's who passed the survival swimming test.
See i passed on thursday and get rewarded on Friday, wow i felt so lucky.
Well now i know that, there's no more swimming test for me, at least for another year.
The weekends were really good too.
Went to the youth feast with Andrea.
It was pretty much crowded there with youths of cause.
Met alot of people and also played soccer there, and lost after winning a match, haha !
Spent the rest of the day with her, it was fun.
Oh yea went to the movies today to catch Batman Begins with her again.
Wow i must say, it was a really good movie.

It's just beginning, so got to wait for the next movie to catch what happends next.
But lemme just reccomend you guys this movie, Go catch it !!!!
Going to book in back to camp soon.
But i just think this week might be just fun as i'll be sailing on a ship.

This week's been pretty much tiring.
Cause as you see my training now does'nt actually involve me going out of camp too much, but i've been out for the 4 days out of 5 days i've been there.
Tuesday i had chemical defence, and on this i had to wear the stupi face mask again.
But thankfully no oxygen cylinder was involved in this training, so it was alright.
The whole objective of this was that if a bad chemical warefare or gas was released here, and what we should be doing when it occurs, like anthrax.
So the pratical was quite fun at first. Was in a room filled with really bad air.
I think it was tear gas, so had to perform certain task and when we needed to take our mask out for a while and put it back, the feeling as horribe.
Cus all the gases start attacking your face and it's like something stinging you really bad.
And i had tears out of my eyes and flem came out of my nose, i looked retarded. But did managed to pass it.
Then on thursday and Friday we had Cutter pulling expedition.
A cutter is like a small boat, which can carry about 13 people in it, so we got on that and started rowing for like about 5 hours !!
I mean we actaually had to have a rest but then we could'nt get to mainlad as the sea was really rough on the first day, and i had seasick !!!
The feeling was really horrible, i just could'nt wait to get out of the boat.
Kept on vommiting for a while, some others also had seasick, because of the really bad rough sea.
The 2nd day went alright, was'nt seasick as i took the tablets.
The weather was really hot, so alot of guys got really bad sunburns and thankfully i got nothing like that.
Got to book out on friday, was so happy that i can book out on that day, cause normally we are only allowed to book out on saturdays.
And yea feast day on sunday went really weel, alot of childrens played at the games stall, but could not attend the dinner as i need to book in.. sorry guys.
She still has camp again this week, miss her alot, cat wait to see u next week andrea.
Going back in now, take care people.. hope u guys like my new blogskin !! :p

There's something i always wanted to get out of the Navy.
I have always thought to myself why in the world i ended up in the Navy and not the Army.
I mean the life is the Navy is good but i always been a non swimmer.
Before i even entered the navy i still had no idea how to swim, and i think i can't swim at all.
But i just tired, and tried and tired learning, and guess what it kina paid off.
Hahaha finally i can Swim !!!
I did manged to pass swimming test, but still got another test to go.
Well that's the survival swimming test, it's much more harder but i'll give it my best shot to pass it.
About my week back there has been pretty alright.
Had alot of lessons on ropes and yea had a BBQ on Friday !
I'm not sure how many of them are lucky enough to have a BBQ nite, but i had.
Had to put up a performance, so we just sang 2 Beetles song.
We were actually cheering and making alot of noise actually.
But our Overall in charge actually liked us making all the cheering and all, since we were supportive and all.
So it did end on a good note, and he was so pleased that he was about to so close to letting us book out on Friday itself, but we had lessons.
So he said he'll think about it and might let us go back next friday.
Did nothing much this week as i can't see her as she had to go for a Camp.
The stones were also in camp, Sec 3 camp. So i decided to pop by today.
It's was pretty much fun seeing them, but charlie was'nt there as he's still in the philippines, just wondering what he's up to now....
Got a pretty much busy week next week, hopefully i will not have duty on saturday, if not i might miss out on the feast day this sunday.
So yea, my next mission, to pass my Survival Swimming test !!
