trial ippt
Read the headlines? Yap, i went IPPT today. For me, its a trial as i wanted to know where my standard is after last year's test. And also, accompany my buddy take. It is really boring to take alone. As expected, i am happy for my buddy, Dingze. He passed the test. No more IPPT for him till next year. For me, as expected, i failed. But surprisingly, i did not flunk the test. Borderline failures. Honestly, it did spur me up a little to train for IPPT. Who knows, i may be able to take in camp and get some cash from the test. But first, more training for me.I failed 2 stations. Standing Broad Jump (SBJ) & Chin-up. Both are my weakest stations during army days since BMT. But the results shows that, i can improve further. But need more legs & arms exercise. Skipping ropes did help, i guess. If not, could have fail more badly for SBJ. More gyms & push-up for Chin-up. i only managed 3 f**k-up one. *laugh* But today, the highlight was the 2.4km & my shuttle-run. 2.4km was conducted on treadmill. I had to run constantly at a high speed in order to pass. I did it, but it was a little shag. I used to sprint only at last 100-200m. Never constantly run so fast before.
As for shuttle-run, my specs flew out while sprinting back the last lap. Yet, i managed to grab hold of the 'flying specs' and finish off the run. Though pass, one of my worse run. But its funny, when thinking back. Hence, i am required to take IPPT again since i failed more than 2 static. Train harder, try harder next time... *laugh*
Oh ya, finally get my singtel voucher today. Finally can go and get the phone i wanted soon. Now is to decide, whether i should get a new number or continue with my old one. New number easier, right?
