something changed in me.
not my character or anything.
but my attitude towards ns.
when i first entered ns, i just wanted to go through the 2yrs as slack as possible.
not saying i want it to be as tough or anything.
rather i want to do something that i can be proud of when i look back at my ns life.

during the 3rd week or so, something in me clicked.
i suddenly threw out the idea of wanting to be a driver.
and suddenly wanted to be a physical training instructor(PTI).
the more i look at them, the more i want to be like them.
so since i told them i was interested, i did everything i could to show them that i was serious about it.

we had an ippt trial run and i managed a sliver.
then we had the soc trial run and i managed to clock it under 9mins.
so hopefully during the actual test, i'm able to reproduce what i did during the trials or even better.

the past month was fun in a sense.
i guess i've gotten used to ns life.
or rather BRT stage.
because i heard that the PTI course(9weeks) would be hell.
but i still have the interest in that course.
there are a lot of incentives of becoming a PTI.
after i pass out from the course, i'll be given corporal rank, CPR cert, instructor cert, life guard, $100 allowance on top of the corporal rank pay and its mainly a 8am-5pm vocation.
during the soc trial run, the PTI OC had a small talk with me, telling me more about the course, asking more information about me etc.
so hopefully i'll get an interview with him soon.
but of course it'll on depend on how well i do during the actual ippt and soc tests.

weekends are less rushed now too.
because i've more or less gotten used to the lifestyle etc.
i don't sleep all that much during the weekends, so i get the chance to go out with friends and get to play squash too.
and because i'm interested in the PTI course, i spend some time during the weekends training too. haha.
call me crazy.

so anyway, its another 2-3weeks more till i pass out of the BRT stage.
and hopefully i'll get the PTI course.
