Passing Out Ceremony
Today marks the end of my life in NPCC as a 17th batch NCO. 17th batch NCO have really taught me a lot of things. Friendships forged and grew stronger throughout the four years. I will surely miss my batch of NCOs and the friends i have made when i leave NPCC. Brief Summary on today:
I woke up early to meet priscilla and sheng liang, intending to finish up what i have not written for the officers. After that, they are supposed to meet the CCC team, but due to time constraint, only priscilla managed to talk to her team. After finished writing, went to change into full-uniform. This will be the last time i wear my full-uniform. We fall in in the parade square for the very last time, greeting all the officers for the very last time as a squad. After opening parade by alex, we went up to hall for rehearsal. We practised for a few times, before the actual event begins. The actual event begins when Mr Low arrived. The 17th batch NCOs marched in, with me and priscilla leading. The sequence was nice. After we sat down, the ceremony began. Firstly, i would like to congrats Sheng Liang and Priscilla for attaining Best Unit Cadet for KCP. Congrats!!! After their badge have been put on, 17th batch NCOs started to went up the stage. When i went up the stage, Mr Low started to joke with me by saying... How you attain the yellow thing on your beret??? I don't know how to reply. Then he started laughing. DOTZ... Anyway, the souvenirs prepared by the officers and the 18th batch NCOs were very nice. I was touched when i recieved them. THANKS EVERYONE... SURELY MISS UR!!! ok.. i don't know how to continue from here... except after the ceremony went to have lunch with them. Started to talk about the punishment we went through when we was a cadet... haha... then went home..

CampCraft Competition Finals
Back to revive my dying blog. Today was the campcraft Competition finals. It was quite a big day for us. This was the first time KCP entered into finals. The whole competition started at about 8.00 and ended at 11.45 with the prize presentation. At the start of the briefing, our special component was to build up a Jerry-can holder. Wow... it was kind of shocking at first. I mean the jerry can is so big and heavy... and it wan us to support it??? and it must be able to dispense water out??? We had a disscussion on how to build. At least we got the basic structure, and now it is down to the field. At the pit, we was in between of marsling sec and catholic high. At least by the end of 14 minute, our 3 main component was up.. except the fourth component.. which i dun noe wad happen to it... the time was kind of short for the fourth component. I was taken back when i saw cedar how they cut their twine. Maybe next time can learn their method.. haha... =.=... at the prize presentation, out school came in 9/10?? at least it was a single digit. I was kind of dissappointed and happy. Happy because at least we tried our very best and will not regret what we have done. Dissappointed because i thought we can aim for a higher position. That is for the post... kind of tired again..

Sunday 23 March 2008 =.=
It was a very boring day for me. I woke up quite early in the morning, discovered that my sister was scolding someone in her dreams when i went into the room to take something. After that, went to the market to get some things... dun noe what to say in english or in chinese... then carry all the way to punggol. After that, went to hougang, trying to find for a new bag. Went to my auntie house after that. My auntie was like showing off. Cause my uncle bought for my cousin a touch-screen iPod??? which was not out in singapore, except in the states... zzz... nvm... but i found that they had kept a dog... and the dog was so adorable. wow... it had sharp teeth... like going to bite my hand off when my hand was over his head. Then, my uncle and auntie fetch us home with his car? nothing to say about his car except the TV in front of his car. But the shows that the tv had shown is BORING... then went to do some research on the food that germans ate... haha... then went to play cabal, then went back to maple to help my neighbour to hunt some things... hopefully tomorrow will be alright...:)

My LasT and Final Camp In NPCC
NPCC camp was great for the past three days. It was my last NPCC camp throughout my secondary school life. My job for the camp was the Meal I/C, Log I/C and some of the respective games I/C. As usual, all the NCOs reported early in the morning on the first day of camp. i was quite shocked when i saw cadets arriving earlier than us. Anyway, it rained quite heavily on the first day afternoon, which really dampened my mood. At night, it was drill session. I did not want to take the drill session because intially i wanted to help mr romzee to tape the table to complete my second half an hour, but forget later. Then need to rush down to make supper. At least got cadets say my milo was nice. :P
Second day, it was a tiring day. Got a bad start as i was scolded. But NVM, i am not those who take scoldings to my heart. Then was my SI interview. I screwed the interview. I did not know what i was talking. I think the SI rank will go to clarence and priscilla. But second day was damm tiring. After the SI interview, was lunch. Need to prepare for lunch. After lunch is one of my game. After that game, i need to settle another game. After the game, need to prepare for dinner. After dinner, help to arrange benches for campfire. after campfire, need to run around to avoid my cadets from catching me, after all the group had caught me, need to prepare supper. after supper, the CI need to debrief us. I fell asleep after talking to lao da. zzz... and i 4get to bathe... opps...
Third day, the last day of the camp. i will not 4get the last day. clarence and I lost my voice. Cadets was like laughing at us when we were talking. Anyway, fell asleep while waiting for lao da they all after the camp. Had swensions. and went back home and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz until today.... Well, i was quite pleased with the camp and i must say thx to clarence and sheng liang, for helping me out during games and meal, otherwise i will be crazy by then... haha... other than them, also must thx my fellow campers and the CIs for helping us out.

I am tired
Let talk about our class retreat. We had our class retreat from Wednesday to Friday. Overall, it was fun. It was better than i expected.
First day, we booked in the chalet. It was rather a bad start for the class retreat with raining cats and dogs. We ran in the rain. The whole class were drenched. The rain just continued for quite a while. Initially, we intended to cancel off the scavenger hunt. But we just continued with it, although it started to drizzle again. We had chicken rice for dinner. It was halal chicken rice. It tasted a bit funny. I intend not to sleep throughout the night. But i was too tired to tolerate, so i went to the bed. When i enterd the room, lawrence was snoring very loud. But it stopped soon. I thought that it would be a quiet night, but never did i thought that SHERMAN AND DANIEL WILL SNORE. I don't know that to say about them. They snored very loud.
Second Day of the class retreat. As usual, it rained the whole afternoon. Some of the guys went to play mahjong, some went to sleep, and the teachers went to watch movie? i think so. We had a late lunch, and the rain stopped. We continued with our activities, which was captain ball. We had a fun time playing "mud captain ball". Some of the guys slipped into the mud while trying to catch the ball. I think alvin fell into the mud the most. After that, went to go swimming. We played catching in the water, using soft ball. The funnist was zi hao just entered the water, within a few minutes, he had a leg cramp and went up to shore again. zZzZ... he always had leg cramp. Setting up of the BBQ was horrible. The GUYS BBQ PIT CANNOT START? It was partly my fault. At the start, i managed to get it started. But i think that i fanned the fire too hard, until it gone. haiz...from a BBQ party become a MICROWAVE PARTY. I slept at about 4.30am? after playing another round of mahjong, with my sleepy eye.
Last day of the class retreat, i found myself cannot get up to help to pake the chalet. While the whole class were packing and clearing, i was sleeping. OPPS. I think we were the last class to reach back to school, after letting 4 peace get on the bus first. Went to have lunch with felicia kiew and her gang, sherman and zi hao. After that, had a conference at void deck. K.O when i reached home. It was time to pack for tomorrow HRC.
Today was the interesting part of my life. I had to overcome the world only double flying fox, and the tallest flying fox in Asian. It sounded interesting. The structure was about 25m, 7 storey high. During my first try on the flying fox, i shouted all the vulgarities out. OPPS. Hopefully all the instructors did not heard what i shout. I also had to jump off from a pole and hold on to a pole, hanging in mid-air. I succeeded. Never did i thought that i succeeded. I also completed advanced rope challenge, which consists of sitting down in a chair, trying to pull myself from one end to the other end, balancing myself on two ropes and skating on a skateboard in the air. It looked easy to do, but when i went up, i was trembling with fear. The last obstacle i did was the tunnel. Dun noe who molest me when i was inside the dark dark tunnel. Anyway, this was my last trip as a NPCC cadet to pulau ubin. I will missed the campsite. SO FAREWELL, NPCC RESILENCE CAMP!!

29 Feb 2008, a day once in four years
Today was not so bad after all. It started off with geography elective. I did not know that today got graded assignment, and i did not bring my textbook because my bag is super heavy. I think that i will be flunking that graded assignment. After recess, Mr Xiao told me that all the "star players" had changed, which means that those who scored very well last year scored very badly this time, and vice versa. This sentence kept ringing in my mind throughout the chapel period. Hopefully i am not one of the people who done badly. Forget about studies. Parade was fun. I think that the LCPs squad were enjoying themselves with the shoutings and the intensive drills by raymond and me. They screamed their voices out when they are doing sizing up. They kept waiting to shout "satu, duo-er", with their top of the voices. I was laughing, which was one the factor that contribute to my discontinuation of my command. Anyway, went for a quick dinner with SL. We had a nice chat over the dinner. ANOTHER FUNNY THING HAPPEN. SHENG LIANG AND I ENCOUNTERED A GAY WHEN WE WERE BOARDING THE BUS. THE THOUGHT OF HIM MADE ME FEEL DISGUSTED. WHEN I ALIGHT, HE TURNED TO ME AND SMILED. EEKK!!!! I QUICKLY RAN DOWN... LUCKY I LEFT EARLY... SHENG LIANG WAS LEFT BEHIND WITH THE GAY. DUN NOE WAD WILL HAPPEN TO HIM... ANYWAY, BEFORE i end this post, wish to say a HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE BORN TODAY, AND ISSAC CHOO.. HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY!!!

It was finally over!!!
Let see about yesterday... Yesterday we had normal parade as usual. It began at 2.30pm and ended at 5.30pm. We had campcraft session and some sing-along session. Talking about the campcraft session made me kind of angry. People not listening to me when i am talking? People playing with spars when i am trying to teach? I am already trying my very best to impart the knots and lashings to your. Anyway, i did scolded them, i mean shouted. I think that this is the only way to stop them from doing these things. I am going to scold them if they still dun wan to listen any longer. During the sing-along session, chester asked us to go to the room to do some reflection for the competition. It took quite a long while, but it was worthwhile. Kind of tired after the parade, went home after eating dinner with the usual few.
Today was the big day for the guys' team in campcraft competition. All the schools in Singapore came to HTA to pit their skills with each other. Met quite a lot of familiar faces like Song Rong, Clement aka Spiderman and a lot of more. During the 10 minute competition, everyone was feeling very nervous, but everyone was trying their best to do well. What matters most is the effort your guys put in, even if failed also never mind. But after the 10 minutes, everything was up. Flagstaff up with our school flag, gadget up with the masstin on top and shelter up with minimum holes as possible. What i can say is that the ponchos quality... cannot make it. And the twine is... During training, we ususally have half ball of twine left. But during the actual competition, we used finished up all the twine. I was quite pleased, especially one of the judges say that the shelter was very nice. But my heart sank when one of the judges just ripped open my ponchos. I mean that i got a door for my shelter, is he cock-eye or what? Slept on the bus on the way back to school. Went to bowl with bertram, clarence and sheng liang. My score was the lousiest. After that, decided to went home. Sheng Liang and i took the wrong bus. We took bus 59 which was heading towards changi village. OPPS! 4get to check the bus plate before boarding the bus. Could see that sheng liang was very sian when i told him we took the wrong bus... Sorry arh... Reached home... ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz... Went down to the chingay celebration under my block. Kind of lame... but at least i enjoy myself. haha... before i end this post... wish to say a HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SHARAVANA..
