Week 2 of the Emergency Response Specialist Course has just ended! We started the 3 months long fire fighting training 2 weeks ago and i say, its not easy being a hero. If only everything used to save people was not so complicated and heavy! there were so many things to learn and things that we must know and should know. We learned how to lay hoses, learned about hydrants and hydrant drills. We were taught how to operate Rescue equipments. Namely the power saw, hydraulic spreaders, air bags, trifor wrench and the oxy-acethelyne cutter. So after learning how to basically use these, we had to go through the Rescue Equipment Proficiency Test. Its like the IPPT of Rescue equipments. So i did kinda well. The whole week, we had to put on our fire fighting gear. trust me, its like a personal portable sauna when your wearing it. Thank GOD the weather was kind to us. All this week it was cloudy and raining lightly. We survived barely. Hopefully the weather next week will be as good as the last. But hey, not every day's a Sunday rite? besides that, i have great mates who all along give support and motivation to one another. no matter how tired they are, at the end of the day when we see our friends, all our worries go away and every one is happy! have a little chit chat session at night and go to sleep ready for whatsoever is coming the next day. My aim is to achieve the FIRE BADGE first then think ahead of getting my rank. The fire badge is just so others know we are qualified fire fighters. So my plan is to take everything step by step, day by day. slowly but surely i Must get there! with the help of GOD, he can hear the 109 of us praying to him during training hoping to make the pain go away and the day short. We just have to bare with the heat and endure alot more then i had to before. All in all its all fun, joy and laughter! hahaha!even when we are being pushed to our limits, we still can smile at each other knowing that all of us will go through the same Shit over and over again! ahhaha!! So tell me whats new?! C'mon guys we can make it through.

Okok, enough talking about NS. So today i met my dear Kitty Kat! nyahahhaha! we did nothing actually, just met up. She said she wanted to see me in uniform, so yeah, she got what she wanted and i don't think she liked what she saw. hahah! but its ok, cause.. Honey, u gonna see me in that uniform for a long time so better get used to the ugly sight! hahah!! Really happy to see her today. Enough to fill my whole week with FUN, JOY and LAUGHTER! nyahahhaha!! hope u had fun too babe, even though we did not do anything. Not even have dinner cause someone had to eat first!! =p so yeah, that was basically my week! and now i'm gonna go sleep! Night all!!
