We did 1,000 sit-ups on 17th March 2006!!!

Col. Fred: "always have belief in yourselves that you can accomplish the impossible. now i know many of you will think 100 sit-ups is a remote possibility in itself already, let alone 1,000... but do give yourselves a chance to do something that you never have thought possible... and when you finally did it, then you will begin to think that nothing is impossible...


... and remember to bring a towel to place between your back and the tarmac road, will reduce the size of the *cherry from pumpkin-size cherry, but i can assure you that you will still get a cherry on your back or butt, unless you're not doing the sit-ups at all"

*cherry = abrasion, which may also include blisters

On morning of 17th March 2006, the last day of our 5th reservist ICT, Hendon Camp, we did what no group of men on earth, on that particular day at that particular time have done... and that we did in 2 hours what infantry, guards, officers and many other soldiers do in 25 years of their career... 1,000 sit-ups! without any breaks together with Col. Fred!!!!! His last batch of NSmen before posting out

"..... Like a machine.... buay sai su sei!.... cho hor yi si!!!...."


now to slowly nurse my aching back, waist, butt and the blisters at my tailbone... hee...
