It's my LIFE!

YES! Finally… I can’t believe I did it! I seriously feel damn touched when I get to know about my results. The process is hell, but in order to get the outcome I desire to achieve, I must go through the hell – there is no escape.

In Chinese, we have a saying, 一份耕耘，一份收穫, meaning the more effort you put in, the better the outcome will be. This sentence has always been a pushing momentum for me in anything I do.

I step into Gryphon (BMT) as a zero fighter in pull up (basically does 0 pull up) and 13 minutes runner for 2.4km, due to the fact that I got my GOLD in NAPFA in the early 2009, and have never exercised much ever since, as I’m busy working and having competitions etc, all the way until enlistment into army

I have been training hard, been 4 months plus already, I have finally achieved my first GOLD! hahaha! Damn happy when I heard that my timing for 2.4 km has achieved gold standard xD

As for SOC, I have not been able to pass Swing trainer (Monkey Bar) ever since BMT days – imagine all the weight being added onto my body (I don’t know the exact weight, but anyhow also can count around 8kg being added on? Helmet, SBO, full 1litre water bottle, rifle…), I just can’t complete swing trainer.

But when I’m in SISPEC, I managed to train until I pass it already, but I just can’t meet the timing. We need 10 minutes 30 seconds to pass. However, my so called personal best is 11 minutes 16 seconds. I thought that I could never pass my SOC.

However, yesterday we had a final retake on SOC before we end our BSLC – I’m very thankful to all my friends whom have been supporting and encouraging me throughout the entire rundown, without them, I would not have the mentality to finish the entire SOC rundown!

Later that day, I heard that the SOC timing is out and being put up on the board already, I went over to see it… my timing was 9 minutes 36 seconds – I passed SOC! OMG! I can’t believe it~!!!! I have never thought that I could pass it! At that moment, I can feel the tears of joy filling up my eyes, the feeling is indescribable.

In life, we need a target, an aim that is worthy enough for us to work towards it; something which could make us takes every step towards it and move on.

However, this target must never be one which can be easily achieved, one has to really put in effort and time just to barely have a sight of it, yet still can’t reach it… but don’t ever give up! Continue to work hard, and you will get nearer in achieving it as long as you believe and have faith in yourself, that’s what I always do.
