This week I was being transferred from BRTC (Basic Rescue Training Centre) to CDA (Civil Defence Academy) for my 21st ERS Course. This also means that my rank has changed from a Recruit to a Trainee (a.k.a. SCT- Specialist Cadet Trainee).

When I first step into my dormitory, I've already preferred BRTC. At first I thought CDA will be a cool and vibrant place compared to BRTC. But then it was totally opposite of what I've assumed. The toilets are hauntingly dirty, beds and pillows are yellow-blackishly revolting and lockers are filled with spiders, cobwebs and dusts. Back in BRTC everything is clean, and even their beds are thicker than CDA. In CDA, you can even feel the bed railings on your backs.

Meal times were much better. At least you need not wash your plates and utensils after eating, this which was required for us back in BRTC. But the food here is of lower quality than BRTC. Wonder if it was the same caterer. Just take a look at their company motto - "We serve quality food, prompt and friendly." Wonder which can be agreeable.

Trainings were quite xiong. Need to wear No. 4 together with a helmet, fireman jacket and lagging (a.k.a. pants). You can imagine having a sauna inside!

Our Enciks were quite welfare to us although they will always show their stern face to us. But then when they are really angry, unpleasant words will start to fly out. That's why in that camp, I hardly ever hear much taboo languages. Average of once a day I suppose! lolx

Things I've observed this from this week...
'back' is pronouced as 'buck'.
Encik will always say "...lessson learnt arh..." when someone did a mistake or something.
He also will say "...touching arh..." and put his hand on his heart. lol
PTIs like to tekan us, but then they have their limits lah. So not too bad.
Don't ever talk back and refute what Sgt. has said.

Got sick this week. Down with a sorethroat. Hope I'll recover by book in tomorrow night.
