Okay, sry that nvr post since CIBTC POP. Was sick for pop, missed it. then was special parade trainings, busy until now.
so review on 2010.
2010 was a very fruitful and eventful year for me. Packed to the core and stressed up quite as much.
I rmb the first week was the hardcore one. With every teachers coming in to say A1 A1 A1. Hope to get them at the end. Piled up with work and stuffs, prep for o levels is always tedious and the stress pile up as the exam draw nearer. But actual o level was sought of okay and average.
CHS
A great memory and a fun plac to be in. Now officially as an alumni. I am proud to be part of the 75th anniversary cohort and hope to deliver the grades as well. A place where I had truely develop my leadership skills and hone my personality.
RIV
Back in action this year with camps and stuffs. Finally able to help out in 2010 with p4 and p5 camps. Being the senior facs, a great experience, more things to help out. Alumni can look forward to more activities in 2011, and hope to still have time to help out.
NPCC
Cadet life not that smooth for start of year. But learn many things along the way. Started my officer life. Participated in CIBTC D10 and certainly is the best leadership course that i have ever been. Friendship and the bond that i gained is even better and stronger. Been with them for like the whole of my holidays. Love them lots. Hope to keep the passion on. Look forward for many stuffs in 2011. Special Parade and NPAP. Hope to be a CII too. Expect myself to be busy cus of NPCC. More gatherings and more events to be involved.
So new year resolutions for 2011.
Be a better leader and a better person. Able to influence cadets that want to learn. And be a better friend, better partner. Hope to smile more and bring more laughter. Be more proficient in my hard skills and be an all rounder. Be loved and love others.
Happy New Year!!!

CIBTC Residential Course 2
this week was over. More challenging,more fun, more taxing week. it was residential course 2 for CIBTC D10. RC2 was more packed with POP trainings and less of drills clarifiaction and more on campcraft knowledge.
First 4D3N was residential in HTA. Same bunk. Bunk 31 at charlie coy. Drills was fun and but my heel injury seems not getting any better. But manage to overcome the pain in the process. Hope that it will heal before POP. Was in the selection for sword drills which i really enjoyed. Gracefulness and precision. Campcraft learn many things that i dun actually know. Was quick in learning them. Delta is a big family, although sometimes very quiet, but we know what we are heading to - Faster, sharper and better than the rest.
On the last day, it was at Ubin. Went around to do tent pitching and flag staff. First time erecting a flagstaff. Was happy about that. Did with only 2 other pple, gwen and weiquan. Although 3 man doing, we were the first to erect. Ubin is going to be my home for the last phase 4d3n, hope to have fun, and hope that my heels wun affect much of my movement.
Sat, when some were resting, the selection of sword bearers were in the process. After some practices, we were trained in our WOC. Results will be make known soon and hope to get some positions or becoming the PC. It will be such a glory and pride.
after that had lunch, meet some peeps at army market, as usual it was noisy as A-B were there. After that, went to tampines to watch Rupanzel with Delta mates. Interesting plot from disney. had supper and went home with gwen.
Till now, the course was fun and had enrich me alot. Soft and hard skills. Reinforce my leadership skills. Interesting to get to know more about others, and how others think of me. Receiving many feedbacks and hope to get more. Next time when i post should be POP, so i look forward for the next post.

CIBTC Residential Course 1
Finally have sometime to blog about RC1. Was back on friday, and since then was preparing lesson plans and polishing uniform.
RC1, a 5d2n stay in, was pretty exciting, fun, tiring, taxing. First day, reach there like too early, waited for awhile before going into HTA. Waited for CIIs to come, get to know my grouping. So I was in Delta, and ATC group 4. Was quite blur at the start.
Throughout the RC1, we have lectures on various topics and numerous discussions. Hard skills like drills were recapped campcrafts practice. Finally manage to hold a sword. Hope to hold it soon again in RC2. THen mnore covering of hard skills. the third day was packed with drills, so all were mainly exhausted and legs were sore and numb. I think i hurt my nerve then. Now still in pain. But endurable, so nvm. Also went for dry practice. Torres .38 revolver. Hope to get marksman, since no time limit. NRA target will still be my enermy.
Delta squad. An interesting squad. Not very strong in hard skills, especially drills, but can see quite an interesting environment to learn in. Hard skills need some polishing. I believe RC2 is when we perform as we work like one big family.
CIIs. Delta squad CIIs are Maam Theresa and Maam Xiaowen. Both can see that they are putting their effort. I appreciate them as well as the others CIIs. Losing their voice and stuffs. So we should really put in our 100% everytime.
Weekends, met up with one or two for atc proposal. Doing lesson plans. Preparing uniforms. Helping squadmates. Managing fb. Quite taxing, but hope to help the rest. Need some rest today, and recharge my adrenaline level, so RC2, a 4d3n will be much better.

Uniform Collection @HTA
Gonna blog something on this dead blog. Last monday went to HTA to get the accourtments for the upcoming CIBTC. Estimated my time too early again, went window shopping at Lot 1 shopping mall. Then stone outside mac, then stone at the bus interchange.
After that, took bus 172 to HTA, with many of the others who are there. Reached and followed instructions on the boards. Arranged the documents and fallen in. Waited for the instructors and started some checking of attire. Have to change my specs. Cus too striking. After that, nothing went wrong with my documents, went down to the stall to collect uniform parts. Got two sets of uniform. Finally, got the peak cap, and also the zipper boots. Then collected manuals and coporate bag. Draw No.1 and then went back to the Everest Room. Handed in the forms and key in the particulars in a laptop. Waited in the room for some others and chatted with some new friends.
After a long wait, briefing started. Ended quite late.
Lots of things to do now. Polishing of the boots, which is quite tedious, and buying lots of other stuffs. Gonna be off for RC1 next monday, then back on friday. RC2 next next monday, then back on friday. Then ATC, then POP. Hope everything goes fine.

Grad Nite ' 2010
ytd was grad night. Overall, it was quite okay,not very fun, some times quite boring. But have fun sitting with friends and making laughters in the air.
Grad nite was held at Marriot. Went there quite early, estimated too much. Ended up shopping at lucky plaza for stuffs. Saw something that i would like to buy, but did not buy as it will be quite wierd going to prom later. Next time i will go buy it.
Then went to Marriot and waited for the class to come. Everyone was well attired. As the dress code was semi-formal, many was formal enough, some very nice, some seem like casual wear. But nvm, pretty nice to see everyone in a smart set of clothings.
Collected some souvenirs and sponsors. Crammed outside the hall for quite awhile and then went in. Few teachers came, dissappointed though. After that, started some meal. Buffet style, it was delicious and appetising. Then was some events, games, and feel quite bored in between. as usual, i was not the lucky man, no prizes won. dion won an ipad, so goooooooooood. Saw one of my juniors working part time there, was wondering why the face look so familiar. I wonder when will i go get some job to do. Not so young though.
Went home after that. Caught up with some friends on the MRT. Quite a proper nite for everyone, and leaving the last memories of CHS. many schs are having proms these fewdays. Most of them are smart dresscode, so quite lucky for CHS to be semiformal.I think is the only sch with such a laxing dress code.
Wish all CHS 2010 Cohort to continue with CHS spirit as they move on with their lifes and good luck for all our future endeavours.

Os are OVER!!!
Finally, after 4 years of studying,and some extreme revision over the past weeks,
the O level had come to an end.
O level started with a bang last month with the Eng paper and slowly, day by day, the papers past and here I am, 3 weeks after the first paper started. Bio MCQ paper was the last one. Papers were average, some were toughter, some simpler, made some careless mistakes here and there. Hope to get good results in the end.
So now, Os are over. What am I going to do? Not much of a worry, cause my schedule is certainly packed for now. Many things to complete over the remaining holidays. CIBTC will constitute most of my time for now, with UC and Day0 in two weeks time. Hope to gain new stuffs there. Still got some leadership stuffs to plan.
Going out with friends, to various places. Want to watch Harry Potters and the Deathly Hallows soon. And to train up my stamina for the course. Many many things are in my plan.
Reading some leadership books nowadays. I strongly recommend to novice leaders to read "Leadership and Motivation - The Key to Achieve what you want in Life" by Elvin Vong. A very detailed and complete book.
Gonna be busy soon, so try to update this blog as much as I could.
