VOCATIONAL ASSIGNMENT TEST - NAVAL DIVING UNIT

elloz... woah... damm tired manz... just came from my NDU tests.

basically i woke up at 5.45am. headed to admiralty. near woodlands which was like 45mins away from tiong bahru...

took the 3 tonner (tonners) truck to senbawang naval base... my god that truck is pure power!!! super powerful and fast... ow!!!

this is the summary of things that happened today:
Medical test: hearing, lung strength, ear membrane test, blood test
Pressure chamber: basically they simulate a submerge to 10m and see whether we're ok
Written tests: IQ and psychomatic tests 60 questions and 185 questions respectively. haha can't believe it... i was doing question 110 to 150 without thinking much... basically i was in a subconscious state. i can't even remember the questions at all...
Physical tests: pull up did 14... looks like i'm still able to do it. ^_^ broad jump, about 225cm and my swim, no problem.
Interview: haha this was the best one lahz... only lasted 30seconds. "so do you want to be a diver?" "any bone injuries?" "ok thank you."

yahz.... looks quite short right the day? well.. you are soooooooooo sooooooo wrong... muaahhahaa.a.... time i reached Admiralty mrt station was 0730hrs. the time i finished and returned back to admiralty station was 2000hrs. (ie 7.30am-8.00pm) YEsH 12hours30mins of being locked in a naval base. shiok right?

but lets look at it this way... how much of my time was put to good use? i calculated and exaggerated the facts a bit. out of the 12hours i spent there. 2hrs30mins was used for actual testing on me. and about 1hr for both lunch and dinner. so yahz... i spent about 8hours plus stoning... though i managed to do some studying... it was mentally draining due to the course of the day's events.

but there was one forgiving factor today... somehow i managed to bond with people who were mere acquaintances and yahz... we had a hell lotta fun. the peace and serenity of the base helped me to get my mind off some of my personal problems and to think of the next few important events that would see myself grow... to mature.... in more aspects than one. yeah.... "she" came to my mind continuously today, but somehow i think my ambition of being a pilot is severely going to test what bond we may have in due time. whether are we willing to make those sacrifices. only time will tell.

if you want to know a bit more about the possible conflicts... the do read my poem i made. like last year but is still applicable to this day... click the link here.

i leave u tonight on this note....

good day....
