10 types of Singaporeans who will still be pissed at the new IPPT

Hope you all didn't spend too much time training your chin-ups.

So it has just been announced that the IPPT for NSmen would only have a sit-up, push-up and 2.4km running component.

The days of dreading chin-ups and perfecting the standing broad jump are over.

But we won't be Singaporeans if we don't have anyone complaining about the changes would we?

Here are 10 types of Singaporeans who will still be pissed at IPPT following the changes:

1. Sadistic PTIs

Because they can no longer shout 'NO COUNT!' whenever you try to nudge yourself over the chin-up bar with a little bit of help from your thigh muscles.

Climb wall or climb rope during war time no need to use legs meh?!

 

2. Beer-lovers because belly

Let's just say the thing in between them and passing the IPPT are not chin-ups.

 

3. The running-is-the-most-painful-thing-ever crowd / Smokers

Their lungs burn whenever they have to run more than 100 metres. Expect to see them still walking round the running track come RT sessions in 2015.

 

4. Canoeists

No more 25 chin-ups in a row for you!

 

5. Those excuse SBJ

You thought you were excused from IPPT forever right? Bedok/Khatib/Kranji/Maju welcomes you back :)

 

6. Siao-on kias

They will be pissed that every father mother son will be able to get Gold now with less than half the training required.

 

7. Those civil servants who use RT as an excuse to leave work earlier

Cannot ponteng all those 5pm meetings already. Or worse, your colleagues start to think you're damn weak because you still fail IPPT.

 

8. Thieves who score 5 points at shuttle run

All those years of OJT down the drain just like that.

 

9. Those who look like they hump the floor when they do push-ups

Although our sergeants and enciks have prepared us all our NS lives, some of us still cannot do a proper push-up without looking like a snake or like we are making love to the floor.

Now imagine having to do 30 of those for the revised IPPT. No count!

 

10. Those who have already given up altogether

Let's face it, juggling work, family, and personal commitments is hard enough already. Making time to be fit enough to pass IPPT is just too time-consuming for some people.
