SAF Career Centre

Made a trip down to CMPB again. Managed to arrive there at 8:02 a.m. (quite punctual considering that the reporting time was 8 am). Met Zihao, Ashraf and his hockey buddy (forget his name liao), Samuel Chee, Ser Jin and Daniel Lim. Raymond came but he had forgotten to RSVP with the person-in-charge, so he made a wasted trip.


Underwent a battery of tests, each testing mental skills and reflexes. They include memorising 10 digit numbers (which I fail miserably), predicting direction, controlling joystick, arithmetics and etc. Took a longer time than average to complete my test; my reaction time is notably slower, since I slept at 5 am that day itself. (3.6 seconds isn't exactly fast). As a consolation for the test, we were given Oreo cookies and Milo packets for refreshments.


Ran all the way back from the busstop to the centre, as I had cleanly forgotten about collecting a souvenir at the counter until Ashraf reminded me. I was told that they will only reveal the results directly to you by post if you sign up to be their pilot or engineer. The officer advised me to think about spending the next 10 years as part of the Air Force, as I wanted to submit the application form on the spot. (I only wanted to know the results of the test)


Finally returned home after 7 gruelling hours outside and had a well deserved nap.
