i just went for my friend's army thingy.
er actually i dono what is it called.
Naval Diver Unit's grad dinner bah.initially dint really wanna go cos i dont really know the people there.
but i dint regret going.
cos i was really touched by their slideshow.
hahahaha.
sorry ah people, food is not the main point here.
but the food's ok la..
i think i only liked the desert cos got ice cream, and sago seed!
both are my favourite! and they're being served as one dish.
wahaha. HEAVEN.
okay.
back to the slideshow.
i use to hear alot of stories about naval divers.. (in case people dont know.. the simple explanation is just.. army divers? getit?)
i hear things like.. they're being thrown into the sea in the middle of the night la.. see how they can survive in the sea..
then all the weird stuff.
and when i watched the slideshow.
i really almost nearly teared.
cos its really. very tough.
and very kelian.
so i really really really RESPECT naval divers now.
their training is WOW.
u never imagined it to happen.
the first video i watch was..
the training one.
they kena force to wake up in the middle of the night to do training?!
omg. so kelian.
as in.. people raid their bunks and wake all of them up.
and they have to assemble downstairs..
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
then another one was..
they have to jump into the sea, from some ports..
then after swimming they have to run, do push ups, sit ups, pull ups..2.4km
for 3 rounds.
swim,run around the buildings,pushup,situp,pullup, and 2.4km run.
and the running and swimming part is really not short-and-sweet kind.
after that was another video.. their
HELL WEEK.
and everybody has to go thru that to kinda officially grad from NDU.
and my friend told me.. almost one whole week never sleep
respect sia.
never sleep plus.. all the training.
you know they have this segment called
COLD TREATMENTsounds like war-refuges torturing method right*
they have to go into a big tub of ice water, which is 3 degree celcius, for 2mins.
and in the meantime, the officers will keep pouring the water over their heads.
i see already really xin tong sia.
and their training is really not kai wan xiao de.
tough.and alot of them nearly gave up.
when i watch their 'breaking down moment'..
i nearly cried for them loh.
i think if im in their situation.. i wont even last a day.
of course not only the tough part that made me feel like crying la.
the teamwork part also..
when everybody just encourages everybody to do it.. cos its gonna end already..
really very touching.
and i think its all the tough things that made them strong, and have a strong bond with each other.
NDU really make me respect them alot!!
and of course there're funny times like..
vids of people dozing off (when they're not suppose to).. very funny.
you'll see them flipping-white-eye (direct translation of 'fan bai yan" LOL) then coming back to their senses again, then dozing off again.
hahaa.
and got one quite funny de..
this happened when they're doing some diver walk or smth like that.. which is very xinku also.
u have to walk, body bending down, hands holidng your ankle.
all the way man.. from the port to the parade square i think..
in diver suit.
Officer (shouts) : "is there any cheater in your group!?"
Guy: "no sir,there's no cheater!"
Officer (shouts) : "is there any liar in your group!?"
Guy: "no sir,there's no liar!"
Officer (shouts) : "is there any diver in your group!?"
Guy: "no sir,there's no DIVER!!"
HAHAHAHAHA!
then after he said.. he realise he made a mistake for the last question.
and he literally sat down and laugh.
ahhaha.
but he dint get any confinement or what la.. cos the officer just DI XIAO him
hahah.
but it was the funniest thing i ever heard/saw tonight.
but NDU, earns my respect.
suddenly i realise..
NS is really.. hard to get by
hahah.
lucky im a girl.
and maybe im a girl, thats y i think so.
but NDU is for fit people to go. and those who're PES A.
so i think i'll be a clerk if im a guy.
haahha
but still.. NDU..
RESPECT! =)*will upload some photos IF i get them back..
OMG. im hungry.. =X
