And you shall know the truth. And the truth will set you free

Woke up so early in the morning at 4am. My friends and I had to meet our sir as he was fetching us to Seletar Camp for a competitive run. It was a combat engineers camp, quite a great experience seeing a new camp. Little did i knew that i would be running past the bus stop to the gate later; it was about 1km like that. I had never run very long as a competitive race already. The last time was last year July in the National schools 5000m. Today was a 15km run. It was raining early in the morning already and it was making me cold, never come so early for the run.

Soon, the MC said that we would begin the run shortly. The word "Shortly" was going to be used many times later. For the Colonel came, for the warm up to begin, for the run to start, he kept mentioning shortly that we took so long to gather before the stage. Shortly right? So we could take our time. To people, this would mean 5 or 10mins. The only substitute he used was soon. Haha.

The race had begun. There were 4 invitational teams. One commando, one artillery and two Maintenance Engineering Support(MES) teams. Whats MES? I guess no one has heard of it. The commamdos ran as a pack in front right at the start. I followed but i couldnt keep up with it. My two sirs, and many more of my friends cut me too. Was tired as i started fast. Then we took the assault boat maybe after 7 or 8km i guess. it was cool, two people plus the driver of the boat. REached the other part of the island very soon. Exciting! After running so long, i saw 3km left. I was very sad. so long to go still.

Finally started to see the camp already, we had already run to many parts outside camp, saw youth flying club on the way too. I cut about five to seven guys at the end, some were my friends while some were from artillery and i finished 18th out of all the invitational sides, out of 40 plus people. There were many more from combat engineers. My team got 2nd out of the invitational teams, got a trophy. However, i was'nt there to collect because i went for massage. Haha..

After that, we went to the prata shop to eat. Jalan Kayu Prata shop. ATe roti john, one prata and teh tahrik. Shiok. Then we took our sir's car back. So tired. Half day off!
