Wow, finally decided to post after like, 2 months?

Sorry guys i was damn busy with work and gaming and painting the house and... the list goes on..

Well anyway, for those of you who don't know, i'm now a medic at Tuas Fire Station. Its sounds very 'ulu', i know, but in fact its one of the best stations out there.

We get like 0-6 calls a day, and that's like really low. Usually in other stations lie Jurong, they get like 7-8 a day! But in tuas we mostly get industrial accidents, so its quite scary as well.

Worst call so far? Ironically its not even in Tuas. Its in Jurong West st 81, if memory serves. A girl committed suicide from 7th floor. But the worst thing was that she made it! She was still alive when we reached there (though she landed face first). And i panicked la! There was also another call which involved an gang random assault. There were i think 5 casualties, but our ambulance took 2 of them. The first guy had a 10cm laceration on his head! Blood and stuff was pouring out of his head like nobody business!! And the worst part was, he asked me (yes, he was still conscious), "Like this usually will die or not?"

Well that's all so far for my 2 months in Tuas.

Cya!

Yay!! After like 3 months of exhausting myself the time has finally come!! I'm officially a medic trainee!! Woots!!

But there is one thing though... i must say the training is tough...

Not physically, but mentally... Firstly the lessons remind me of A levels... And that sucks...

Also, i can't imagine a medic ever remembering all the theory (the lecture book is like, as thick as my jc notes...?) in a stressful situation...

Okay, now onto training...

Everyday, lessons, lessons and more lessons... But the good part is that its 8 to 5... Well maybe that's a bad thing, cos it strains my wallet mostly (there's only 200 bucks left in my account to last me from now till the 12th, which is my payday...). Also, the process of travelling to and fro camp sucks... I really prefer brtc, well maybe not very much... There's wayyy less pumping in a private's life as compared to a recruit =P

But there still is... Everyday, its like 100 push-ups... and that sucks as well... But as they say, its supposed to "train" our biceps to carry casualties to the ambulance... =P

Well, gtg

Cya!!

Wow... This place feels... almost unknown to me...
Its been like 3 months in CD (3 months of hell, really).
And i really wanna kill the guy who said CD is relaxed... Its the same as army i tell u. The PT, the discipline...

Example: Endurance Training = Minimum 4-5 rounds around brtc ( 5km? o.O)
Strength Training = Minimum 200 Lateral raises of 5kg medicine ball, 200 Half squats with medicine ball, 200 tug jumps with medicine ball, 200 push-ups with medicine ball
IPPT Training = 2.4km, pull-up training

And if u think that's bad, let me remind u that we have to do warm-up exercises before each PT

Example : 50 push-ups, 50 jumping jacks, 50 crunches, 50 squat thrusts (aka burpies)

And if u think that's bad, let me remind u that we have to do punishments for so called " ill-discipline (i.e. Not echoing loud enough, not doing the exercises properly)

Example : PTI: Ok, dunno how to echo right? Half-right change! Carry on 20!
Us: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20!
PTI: Still dunno how to echo?! Carry on another 30!

As a result of the training, i have a small fracture on both shins. This injury is also known as a shin splint. Therefore i have been excused for the last IPPT retest. These are my results before that retest (I'm still suffering from the shin splint)

Pull-ups : 10 (4 points)
Standing broad jump : 210 (0 points)
Sit-ups : 45 (5 points)
Shuttle run : 10.3 secs (5 points)
2.4km run : 14 mins (0 points)

I cant jump and run cos of the stupid injury (It hurts like hell whenever i run more than 10 steps...)

So now my chances of becoming a medic is slim (We get our posting on Monday)
What am I left with? Erm, NCDCC (Be an instructor for NCDCC CCA in schools) and Instructor (Without a doubt the worst vocation... =P)

So thats it for my life these few weeks... And i cant post pics of my life online so...

But at least i've lost 6-7 kg =D
I'm 70kg now... ^^

Cya =D

I'm back after like what? 2, 3 months?? XD

Well, I must owe you guys a reason for my absence... So here it is :

I've been GAMING! =3

Like HELL!!

Well, maybe not... (2-3 hours a day, sometimes never on weekdays, doesn't really count as a hellish experience ;D)

So the game I've been playing since the end of my A's till now is Perfect World. Its by far the best computer game I've ever tried (These include a "wide" selection, such as Runescape [XD], MuOnline [XXD], and maplestory [ZOMG!!!])

Here's a screenie:



So now you know...
