Golfer in coma after being struck by lightning

This happened last sunday at Tanah Merah Country Club. And u noe what? I was playing tennis at that time. Just around that area at Changi Beach Club. We were playing tennis at about 10.10 am. It was very warm and the sun was shining quite brightly. All of a sudden, we heard this very very loud thunder right above our heads. And its the loudest that i have ever heard. We were very shocked and scared. The thunder then kept rumbling and we could see lightning above. So, we rushed off to the shelter. Though it was still quite bright. The dark clouds was just starting to form up. Soon after, the dark clouds kinda dissipated and sky became bright. No rain no nth. Only lightning and thunder. Weird.. So we kept playing after that. Soon after i read the news, in mind i thought, omg! i could have been hit by the lightning. We were very very close. But alhamdulillah we didnt get struck.

Ok. Im so bored~~~

Just came back from tennis with James. Yea, he improved quite a lot. And i kinda deproved a bit. I won him eventually 6-7(5) 7-5 7-6(8). Very tiring match indeed. The last time that i played with him i lost. I never ever lost to him b4. That showed how much i deproved tenniswise.

Anyway, SISPEC has been tough. Next week is the utmost challenging week. Its the week that i have been waiting to get over with. After next week is freedom! haha. And btw next week is my Grandslam week whereby we have to go back to tekong. I miss tekong. So, yea. No doubt its gonna be tough but ill try my best to endure. I mean, army is just about endurance. See who is able to endure the longest. Sigh.

I had SOC test last thur. I think i passed. Yay. It was the most tiring activity ever. After the SOC, i felt like dying. No other activity have ever made me like that. But luckily i gave my best. I really pushed myself beyond my limit. :))

Hey

Latest updates on me:

Mainly, my cat!!! One of my cats is gone!!! T_T. not the black one. Im so sad. I dunno where it went to. It disappeared like weeks ago. I dunno whether she is still alive or not. Im really concerned on her well-being. But oh wells. I reckon she's not coming back. U noe it was really a burden especially when taking care of her when she was ill that time. She had the eye infection or whatever shit. We forked out a lot too. And now she's gone! T_T. I just hope she found a new owner that will take good care of her. Okay why am i so emo?!?!

Ok thats aside. So far, my training in SISPEC has been endurable. I just went through my field camp!!! It was tough. Its definitely not easy. Mainly because it rained everyday and we got wet, dirty and smelly. I really couldnt tahan sia. It was so uncomfortable. And btw, compared to bmt time, this place has way more insects. Especially red ants. There are ants' nest everywhere. I got bitten by it numerous times. There was even one night where ants crawled over my head and i could sleep well. Tsk.Apart from that, hornet nests were found too but were being removed soon after being discovered. So..the training during field camp was very very tiring. Training in the rain is definitely something u wouldnt enjoy. And u have to carry ur weapon(s) everywhere u go. Sian. Its over yes. But its not totally over. Theres another one outfield coming up which is called grandslam. Thats even more tough. If i think this field camp is tough, grandslam will be much worse. But then again, no matter how tough, i went through everything already. So im quite mentally prepared to face the worst. So yea.

IPPT results 091009:

Chin ups: 10 (4)
Sit ups: 40 (5)
Standing broad jump: 250 cm (5)
Shuttle run: 9.0 sec (5)
2.4 km run: 10.37 min (4)
Total: 23 pts - Silver


Woot. I clinched silver yet again. I still have loads to work on for my 2.4 km run. To get gold is really a struggle. I have to improve my 2.4 km run timing by 1 min. 1 min is a lot man. Sigh. One of my bunk mates has achieved that. But nevertheless, theres another test coming up so i hope to achieve my goal.

Anyway, next week is every soldier's nightmare. And that is field camp!!! Grrr. I hate field camp to the max. Cant bathe, cant brush teeth, and u have to dig ur own hole to shit. grrrr. And the worst thing is u have to wear the camo cream 24/7. T_T.
