Being Happy Is A Choice

Tough long week. Extremely tiring and mind-strangling. Sometimes it feels as though my body is being pulled apart and my mind being squashed.

Monday: C.I.Q test and Aircraft test. Passed them, but didn't manage to get full marks. A little disappointed, but still, it's good enough to get me to Japan. Rest of the day is relatively relaxed, because all the 4 tests we have to pass in local base training are completed and the topics are more 'soft'.

Tuesday: Watched a video on our Toyko training and dormintory life. Woah. It looks like a hotel- tap card when going into dorm and room; got individual mail and key corner; meals are provided on a buffet style, with both Western and Japanese selections; I get my own room with balcony, shower, and bathtub, and even a shoerack.

Had a personal interview with my instructor, T. in the afternoon. She commented that I always look very neat, and I look attentive in class!! I totally didn't expect her to say THAT about me. I practically slept through my Poly and College education. How I graduate, sometimes I wonder...

Wednesday-Saturday: 2 HTR Emergency instructors arrived from Japan and there it started-- my 4-day HTR local base training. Knew it would be tough, but didn't expect it to be THAT tough. We have a break about every one and a half hours. We used to have a 10-minute break every hour during our JOL 1 and HTZ training weeks. I guess I'm just too pampered in the earlier weeks.

Very tired after everyday. A lot of homework as well. It feels as though I'm transported back to the Secondary school days, where the monitress will write the homework items on the board so we won't miss out on any. And I actually had to HAND IN my HOMEWORK every morning. Nice. If this is like what they said "It's just an appetiser for what's to come in Japan training", then I guess I need extra vitamins and energy.... A lot extra.
