We had never been this slack before for the past 23 weeks. Most of the time we were slacking in our dormitories.

Monday, we had our Term 4 IPPT. It's quite comforting to know that ard 40 odd of us got silver and close to 20 of us got silver. But still there's a couple of us who failed. Here were my results: SBJ:225cm; shuttle run:9.5s; pull-ups:10; sit-ups:43; 2.4km run:9:24 min. Finally I got my silver after 6 months! =p We got ready our LF and PL to pass down to the 22nd batch before having our lunch (for the non-muslims). It's actually quite amusing to say commands in chinese while going to the cookhouse. lolx In the afternoon, we took our 21st ERSC photo. We went for our POC rehearsal at the auditorium. Everything was still not complete then. We were happy to hear that we need not go for the morning 5-BX anymore for the rest of this week! woot!

Tuesday, we had our Term 4 SOC test. Not sure the timing though; cause we weren't told about it. But I passed; that's for sure! =p Then, we went for our rehearsal again.~

Wednesday was a sad day for us as 5 of our coursemates couldn't make it to the finishing line. It was a pity as some couldn't make it for their IPPT while some didn't pass their theory papers. Hope that they'll still stay strong and excel in whatever they were posted to. Well, we were having our rehearsal the whole day.

Thursday was the day of our POC. We had a quick rehearsal in the morning. Then we went to collect our personalised items from the store. It was quite alot to bring home. We slack from 3 plus pm all the way until dinner time, then it was time to get prepared for the final showdown! Everything went well; all thanks to our Enciks in fine-tuning us for the entire ceremony and not forgetting those who were involved in creating our 21st ERSC video. Some had tears welling in their eyes. It's one of those moments when you'll have emotions taking over you. It was quite a relieve and also a sense of pride and satisfaction after getting our Sergeant rank. To think that some of us who had the thought of getting out-of-course during the first week of the course were standing on the stage receiving their hard-earned Sergeant rank from their loved ones. Lots of people turned up; loved ones, ex-coursemates even our ORD-ing PTI turned up. Took lots of photos. Rota 1 even bought a cake and made a momento for their DRC who will be back to Clementi Fire Station soon. Back in our dormitories, everyone was having this funny feeling when trainees started to greet us "Good evening Sergeant" or "Good evening Encik". But we all know that we wouldn't get such greetings when we were posted to station. So may as well enjoy this short moment. =p Slept rather late that night... ...it was our last night in CDA... ...

Friday was our last day in CDA. Woke up feeling rejuvenated. We were the organiser for the 3rd Firemanship Skills Competition of the year. Sad to say the 22nd ERS didn't performed their best today as BOC won almost every events. The winner was obvious halfway through the competition. Anyway, after the whole event ended, we went back to our dormitories to clear any rubbish left by us and then headed to our classroom to receive our postings. I was posted to Alexander Fire Station - a station specialised in tackling HazMat incidents. Must brush up on my HazMat stuffs already~

Our course had ended but not our friendship. Wish all of you guys a good week ahead and get prepared for the real thing after your block leave for those who are going to station and for those going to SRB may you pass down your knowledge effectively and those staying at CDA as instructors may you get good trainees to train (but try not to tekan them so much =p). Hope we could still meet up with one another some other time. =) Anyhow, our Enciks were actually not that bad afterall.

Shall post our POC photos some other time.=p

POP OOHHHHHHH!!!!!~
