Today was a fun day. Woke up quite early but left house late and caused my father to fly through the expressway. Made a few friends before the end of the day, from NYP, RP, NP. Reached Sembawang MRT station at 7.30am and reported.
8am - Bus came. Split into two groups and proceeded to destination, Sembawang Naval Base.
9am - Reached Medical Centre. The "doctor" who took my blood sample was inexperienced. Today was his first time using a syringe to draw blood. End up he started pulling and letting go and pull again. Altogether... 3 times. Caused much pain in my right arm. A bit of swelling maybe due to not pulling out properly. Luckily was able to reduce the swelling myself =) After that we had to take the four tests. First test - Testing of lung capacity. We have to suck in as much air as we can and blow into a blower. First two guys before me failed the test. Luckily I was able to pass on my second attempt as my first attempt was only just below the standard passing rate. They call this the "
blowjob". Wahaha! Second Test - testing of ear. Third test - Audio Testing. Fourth - Visit of MO (Medical Officer).
11am - Split again into groups of ten and proceeded to the diving chamber or also known as
hyperbaric chamber. A chamber where the air pressure will drop, simulating the submarine and diving pressure. Not so much, just 10m deep into the "ocean". Was able to clear those as well. Quite cool actually.
This is the hyperbaric chamber.

12pm - Rest time! Had an hour sleep in the "lounge". Air-con plus bean bags. Woohoo! Perfect Combination.
1pm - Proceeded to do our fitness test. Standing Board Jump and Pull up. 10 Pull ups. 3 more than my Napfa sia. Shit~ Standing Board Jump also improve. from 236 to 239. Oh Man~
2pm - 100 m swimming test. Very near only lahz. They just want to know if you can swim or not. Quite easy and fun. Long time never swim already.
2.30pm - Interview Session with the Warrant Officer. They wanted to know if you are keen in joining the Navy. My turn wasn't much. Just looking at my paper and went erm... hmmm.. uh-huh.. ok.. Any Question? Then I was *stunned* and say No sir. Then he said :"OK! Good. Go improve on ur fitness, your running. Do progressive running. That's all. You can go now." Fast. Not even three minutes and I'm back. LOL.
3.30pm - Talk Cock Sing Song session while waiting for the rest of the people from the second group plus Team B to come back.
4pm - Dinner. Again, fantastic meal but guess two years of on-going will also sianzz...
5pm - Pyscho Test. A bloody 3-hr test! To test ur... I dunno... Whatever.. Like CMPB also but more professional. On OTAS sheet. The one where you shade all those. 4 tests altogether too. Quite easy. Should not be a problem.
7pm - Go home time. Finally. Went to Serangoon to pick up my Sandisk Ultra II 4GB CF card. Finally! I owned a
4GB memory card.
P.S. I hope I will get into NDU. *grins* =D
