Some of u guys might have wondered, what happened to last week's entry or where's week 13?

Well, to make a long story short, i just didn't really feel like making an entry mainly because it was the test period and well, let's just say that i wasn't having much luck with them for a long period of time and it has finally gotten to me

Anyway, back to this week's entry.

On monday, i had my HSP (Highway Situational Problem) test, my parking (LandRover) and my driving assessment (Class 3 or just know that it's my landrover test to see if i am competent enough to be allowed to drive a 3 tonner) and well, i guess they were right about the saying something about how you will always be able to bounce back from the pit of despair after you have fallen into it, after all, there's only so much that u can fall before you read the bottom and you have no way but to go up and i guess that was where i headed when i passed all 3 of them at once

So, hurray, I will be driving the 3 tonner on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, basically, i had 300 mins of driving on the 3 tonner and 100 mins of parking practice . I had to get used to how different the gears are now. In the landrover, the gear was for reverse, i have to push left and left even more to go to reverse, left top would be 1st gear, left btm would be 2nd, front would be 3rd, back would be 4th and right most and up will be 5th gear.
On the 3 tonner, it was reverse would be at left top, 1st gear at the left btm, 2nd gear front, 3rd gear back, 4th gear right top and 5th gear would be right btm and a few other details, but other than that, i gotten quite used to it.

On Wednesday, pretty much the same thing, just that we have 200 mins of driving and 200 mins of parking.

On Thursday, today was a pretty relaxing day, we have a new module which was called Skills Enhancement Programme, basically, it is just to train us in case we were sent oversea, so we were to simulated oversea conditions such as uneven terrain, freaking steep slopes and etc.

On Friday, we had cross country training, which is just another program to simulated oversea conditions and when driving off road.

On saturday, we went and had a look at our test area for TP test.

Pretty much, it had been a pretty eventful week

Just curious, but what does Singapore's army do? Is it just a small standing army for defense?

no idea what exactly do u meant by that though? They are the army, they probably do what other armies in the world are doing, defending their country from any threats, and so far, all they have been doing are being sent overseas as support (If i remember correctly) operation and conduct oversea drills.
