What to say?

Well, i did manage to get in some bball practice yesterday... And i somewhat regretted it today... Imagine, lifting 30kg weight, holding it in place except for small shifts in position for 5 mins straight... Now visualise me, with my arms aching from the previous day's workout,  holding a 30kg tank roller in that way with the thing being greasier than the oily man... And also fixing the wheel systems and the suspension systems of the tank... Needed to use 65mm socket! That thing was larger than my fist! and we had to tighten it with a hollow pipe!... All of us got so pissed we decided to sabotage the next batch of trainees(i.e BTT 15 hehe) Pulling to the call of 'SABO!' dragon boat style, we all tightened every bolt nut and screw tt... Well, we might as well have welded the damn things onto the tank... BTT15 better start praying, cos they ain't got a chance against those currently immovable 'movable' parts... 

Anyway, we also had to test out the idler wheel as well as the sprocket wheel(for the unenlightened, think the free wheeling front wheel of a car and driver back wheels respectively... only completely made of metal, and requires 2 young men to carry each wheel).
So yes, your truly had to once again be 'volunteered', or should i say arrowed,  by the instructor no less, to carry a really heavy sprocket wheel... and that was the only fun part of the day, we were allowed to use the hammer to punch out the old bolts and replace them... So i err jus used a nice 1kg hammer... And did in 1 hit what the other took 4-5 hits to remove... Was fun... like playing that children's arcade game of the plastic hammer, and those hemisperical objects popping out for u to hit... Only this was more fun! *evil grin*

All in all, a really really tiring day... that makes three in a row... Thank God for small favours... Thank God for saturday!... Day to not really relax but still less stress... haha...
