The good news came as my medical checkup was finally approved after being KIVed for 8 months!I was accepted to join SCDF as a regular firefighter and the best thing was I was posted to my former station which is Jurong Fire Station located at Boon Lay Drive.At that point of time,I was too excited that I can't wait to start my career immediately.
22nd January 2009,my first day at work.I'm already used with the routine and I'm already recognised the moment I step in the station.I didn't immediately start my ROTA duty(I'm officially in ROTA 1) but instead I was selected to participate in the oncoming Inter-Unit Rock Climbing Competition so I had the privileged to follow office hours from 8am to 6pm.
Initially,I thought that rock climbing is pretty easy but in actual fact it is really hard.Before you even reach the top part of the wall,most of your energy is already drained.Training was intense as the competition is getting near so we need to put in a lot of effort.Training venues for rock climbing is held at Bukit Batok Fire Station, Singapore Polytechnic or at SAFRA Yishun which is rather much challenging for a newbie like me.
This is me climbing the walls of SAFRA Yishun.
I will inform you guys if anyone of you is interested in supporting us for the competition which is held at SAFRA Yishun.I'm not sure about the date but I will tell you later on.
