For Singapore guys, IPPT is an annual national service (NS) liability for those who are certified fit and have not completed the 10 operationally ready cycles after completing full time NS.
I did not train for running nor exercise much in recent months and was lucky to do 31 standard push ups and 30 sit ups with uncle belly, clocking 37 points out of 50 for static stations under my age group of 37 to 39.
The evening weather was good with cool breeze today. Track conditions was dry and perfect too.
I managed to run 2.4km in slightly over 14mins to gain 27 more points and pass with 64 points for $200!
Happy to earn back $200 to subsidise the $4.4k taxes which IRAS shall collect from me soon for nation building whereby a large part will be channelled into defence.
This shall me my last IPPT before I am put into Mindef Reserve at 40 year old next year.
Fitness + health > Wealth
This achievement will encourage me to exercise more this year.
As much as we focus on building wealth, I believe we should also take care of our own fitness and health despite our busy work schedule and family commitments.
Thanks for reading.
With love & peace,
Qiongster
