Special Training Unit aka STU

Guys,
just came back from ARTC / STU
Curious wth what we hv done?
Wanna to noe how we hv been "torture"
Anyway, i m goin to share what happened to us.

Day 1
I was called up by Timothy to assist him in CLHS
bcz before that i m foloing him to STU
This made us late in STU

How lucky were we.
when we reached there,
stanley, pei jie, jo el, kang shen,
yu jun, thing Shern n jen juang
were doin Commando rest.
As we know, they were doin commando rest
until we appear.
Jia Xiong (General) gave us the permission to
stand there looking them.
everybody could bring 8kg onli
but i brought nearly 12kg
so...
brought out many things
n something were confiscated by An Soon sir
as a reason to "reduce our weight"

STU started wth a story...
Everybody hv our personal identity
we hv to search our name tags n body line hid by "enemy"
We were carrying a secret.
After finding, jia xiong n jia cun
told us that we must run to the Jetty
in 45 mins before a bomb reached.
we did it.
another task is to carry our
luggage n two 5 litres bottle hike across 2 hills
to Kerachut Beach in 1 hr 30 min
again we did it.
Both generals were surprised

Then,We were given 2 tasks
One is to cook our own lunch
One is to build our own sandcastle

We finished those two tasks at approximately 3pm
But we were given till 6pm
so..
we slept

After woke up
we were given a short brief
before next training-
"Commando race"
This can be said the thoughest training in STU
First task
We must run across the beach twice
Then...
Go up to the bridge
Duck-walk across the bridge and come back again
THEN...
Go into the sea
Push-up 50 times and Star Jump 50 times
Then...
We must Frog-Jump towards the boat located near the seaside
go there and back
I was quite behind at the starting (my strategy)
But...
during the frog-jump,
i move faster n became the 4th of 10

1st: Ooi Jen Juang
2nd: Timothy Ting
3rd: Sim Pei Jie
4th: TAN KAI JIUN (me)
5th: Stanley Poh
6th: Ong Jo El
7th: Lai Thing shern
8th: Lim Yu Jun
9th: Adrian Eu
10th: Ooi Kang Shen

The last 3 places were given a can of ISOMAX each
The first 3 places did not get anything
haha "unexpected"

The 1st night was our solo camp night
My 1st experience to sleep in
a jungle without any accompaniment
Fear? Bored?
Nothing...
Nothing special happened on me.
But different from Timothy
he was chased by dog. haha xD
After reading the bible verses,
i try to sleep...and i slept
in the wee hour of 4 and woke up at 6.
Wan ask how?
Just sleep barely on the ground
Energy left: 50%

Day 2
Energy recovered: 55%
Withour any breakfast,
we started our hiking back tp Hutan Lipur
After 2 hours and 10 min, we reached
the instruction want us to reached there in 2 hour
we were late.
How?
From the story, we were captured by our enemy
We did 30 push ups wth our luggage on our shoulder
1 word to describe
" GAI "
we started our next commando race
We carried our luggage
Crossed the river
And when we got up
We had to Duck-Walk up the slantin hill till we reach a checkpoint
Then...
We were supposed to
Sit Up 20 times
Commando Rest 1 minute

1st: Ooi Jen Juang
2nd: Sim Pei Jie
3rd: TAN KAI JIUN (me)
*from 4th to 10th i m not sure.
Then,
we got ourselves ready for the Search and Rescue mission
Adrian and Stanley
were the casualties for this programme
They were left injured up in the hill
Therefore we had to search for them
(just according to the story)
we made our stretcher
and carry Stanley down Png Hill
and also across many rivers.
under Boo Keat sir's encourage,
At last we succeed.

Finally, Lunch time!

Stanley cooked.
we ate.

After lunch we started our
journey
We were given a task to complete
10 people seperated into 2 groups

KAI JIUN (me)
Timothy
Jo El
Yu Jun
Stanley
were in the same group.
Pratically We walked about...
15km In just one night
Always remember tis is STU

After the 15km walk
We went back to Hutan Lipur
the other team were there,
waiting us...
Chia Cun sir said:
"let's play Hide and Seek,
to decide where you should sleep."
we still nid to play although all of us were sleepy

I was arranged in partner with Jo El
How lucky were we...
at the 1st found,
we found timothy n kang shen
on a lorry in 10 seconds time
haha leading...
After 5 rounds n final round,
(searching for officers)
our team was the 1st runner-up
We got to sleep in a pondok
After settled ourselves
we slept straight away...
This ended our 2nd STU day.
Energy left: 20%

Day 3
Energy recovered: 25%
We woke up by Thing Shern
And went to SMK Teluk Bahang for some courses
First course:
Monkey Crawl
we made two types,
a horizontal and a vertical gadget
Clove Hitch is needed.
Next was the archery
Eveybody was given a chance to shoot 3 arrows
i missed all...
nvm at least a good try.
After that we walked back to Hutan Lipur agn
And cooked our lunch
We were given half an hour to cook n finish our meal
we able to finish but we forget about our potato.
Then we hv to do duck-walk until we finish
all the potato.
Heere comes the last part of
STU
The final "torturing training"
Jia Xiong told us if we wanted to gv up,
just tell him the secret on the 1st day
just a simple sentence n then u can
rest aside.
The training started...
we lined up on a slope
First,
we did a "tougher" star-jump for 50 times
Why is it tougher?
Bcz we had to squat down n jump up
by streatching our hands n legs.
We rested every 10 sets.
Then,
Commando rest
Every time we hv a target time to do
but this time was different
we were ordered to do this
until Jia Xiong wanted us to stop.
Tired right?
We "rested" for 5 mins over
We were unable to do that on our 1st day
But on the last day, we manage to do.
Then,
star-jump
(different from the 1st task)
Same, we were ordered to jump
until jia Xiong wanted us to stop.
we jumped
n jumped n jumped
Until we jumped 300++ non stop
i thought this was the final training
my strength was limited.
i was about to "collapse" and give up
i raised up my hand n tell Jia Xiong
" we will not gv up!!!"
and continued...
Finally the last challenge is
......(dun noe wat's the name)
When Jia Xiong say 1,
we must stand up
When Jia Xiong say 2,
we squat down
When Jia Xiong say 3,
we lie on the floor
This process repeated for over 100++ times
And we finished all...
We completed
