2009 Year Review

It is coming to the end of 2009, with just a few more hours to go. It has been 3 years since i started using this blog. Year 2009 is quite an eventful year for me and certainly a significant year in my leadeship skills and qualities after taken over cca and slb. In this post, i will just give an overview of this year and the pple i will like to thank in making me as a better person.

Start of the year. Went to class 3-6. Was quite wierd actually, a very quiet class. but after a few days of coming together, we started communcation and the real class spirit came. We have been through together, with the hws and exams, to the jokes to the lunch meet. I have enjoyed myself well in the class and hope all you had. Continue on next year as 4-6, hope to sustain the best class as what i feel, in terms of academic and intellectually. Let us shine among the rest.

Around may, i had taken over as the chairman of CHSNPCC 31st Batch NCO council. Top post, means top responsibility. Started out quite jerky, but quite okay with the settling down of my leadership style. Learnt a lot from the officers with the events going on and i looked forward for next year after the o levels CIBTC D10. I will be back as a CI. I promise. Gotten SSgt and proceeding with the next rank in 2010. 2010 will be a new working year. Hope to nurture the cadets and prepare them for nco-ship next year. I am the Head-of-training now. Putting on a new role, a test to my leadership also.

Around june, i became the vice-head prefect of the school's prefectorial board. With my prior experience during primary sch, and also my cca, i strive to serve the school better. Starting out with a different mindset, but changed to suit the different crowd. It also marks the starting of another characteristic for myself and become a better leader. Hope for a better work year and improvements had been made. I am no longer the rookie vicehead prefect that had just taken over. I am a changed leader now. Hope for better working relationship.

Around November, i met 28 unique pple and changed my point of view on some issues. I went for the NPCC HK trip 2009. It was the second OEV that i had taken part. I enjoyed this very much and had gained comething that i will nvr forget - friendship. This friendship has enriched my life for the past few weeks, with gatherings and talks on facebook and msn. I will nvr forget u all. 2nd Jan will be the gathering. look forward to see u all. And also had gained one close friend. Talking to him/her by sms almost everyday. I will not give up on the relationship. More to come in 2010 after our olevels. I will nvr forget u.

Thanks to these people who had set a path in my life in 2009. See u in 2010.

Science Center Visit

this morning, went to singapore science center for their new exhibitions. Not that new anyway, was available before the holidays. Went with my sis and my mum. Went into the body world @ $11 after discount. Body World is the exhibition which shows us the real human corpse and animal carcasses where have been turn into exhibits. It is real and those bodies had been processed before they are turned into long turn exhibits. Some of those exhibits are quite old, which means the original person are dead for a long time. Was looking from as small as an embryo, to as large as a giraffe carcass. Overall very enriching, manage to see all the organs at different angles. Recommend to all bio students, it is much better to see them live then on the textbook. It is REAL!!!

going to have annual hike soon, so need to buy some stuffs tmr. Annaul hike prep on mon, annual hike tues, and finally the bbq for hk trip is confirmed, on coming sat, but some pple not coming, dissappointed.

off to my hws, hope everyone have the best of the remaining holidays.

Sec1 registration cum last holiday training

today was quite hectic. it was the sec 1 registration and also the last bk training during the holidays. Reach school at around 7am, talk a while, settle the npcc banner, then went to take the sec1 prefects to help out in the registration. Was in charge of the usherers. help out awhile, talk to some parents from rvps, then went around to help. Actually wanted to help in the canteen, but return to hall to become QnA person with Chiu yang. answered some common question. after that went down canteen after the hall is cleared, then half way went off to go to last bk training. Andre couldn't switch on the uv lights and said that they are spoilt. Apparently, after my magic touch, all r working fine except for one, which the "spoilt" one was fine juz that andre put the starter aside. So, the performance was quite okay, not very nice, having very high standard on them. Going to have two more practice before the actual one.

After that, cleared the audi, went back to stall with hh and yh n andre, drank bubble tea. then went to buy my school pants, which i think was like buy one get one free for me. dun wan to eleborate much. after that went to play basketball at ISH, then the rest join in and continued for two hours. after that went to pizza hut and ate the student meal again, trying the pasta instead. quite nice also.

looked at someone's blog just now, i shall not say out whose it is. Just some word of advice here, if u are looking at my blog. Being a leader is not that easy. Not much to say being the top positions of a unit. It takes up a lot of effort and time, and all might just end up to be nothing. Even if there is minimal progress, or met with difficulties, no matter how hard it will be, we must move on. Even if others dun think like you, dun apprieciate you, never lose faith. Never give up. as a leader, we are bound to get tired, and has thoughts of giving up, its normal. But dun get trouble over it, get over it, use the remaining time to have an achievable goal. Leaders alway think big, but followers dun alway agree. Thats why, try to lower your goals, and create some breathing space for yourself. Don;t safocate yourself.

Keep the passion in yourself, others will try to extinguish it, but you are the one who keep it burning.

Hope to see your blog with your happy posts soon. talk to me if needed.

Training Day

today was the seond last bk training. The attendance still the worrying factor. Haven;t had any audi training yet, hope last training can used it and going to book the audi for the start of the year. Standards still okay, but can be much higher. Saw our two new CIs today, Ruijie and Jackson sir.

After training, went to eat lunch with squadmates. Noel, Tingwei, Jeremy, clayton and me. Went to pizzahut and have the student special. $5.90 for freeflow of pepsi, a soup of the day and a baked rice. The baked rice quite nice. after that, went home, reading the book, How to have an outstanding life. Still haven't compeleted it, around 3/4 done.

Tmr, need to go school to settle some pb stuffs. Tmr will be the next hw day. Target to finish 3/4 of the hcl hw.

HK trip pple gathering

was wondering about the title. today, was supposingly the bbq for the hk trip pple. But it was cancelled, and chingna and vlad came out with the salvaged plan, which apparently many people could not come.

Around late afternoon, went to toapayoh hub by train, and reached there exceptionally early, and waited for the rest to come. Vladimir was ten mins late while Chingna as usual was the last. But, good improvement from last time, by cutting short the late coming time to only 30mins. Dun worry Ching na, we r not angry for u coming late. after that took bus 31 to marine parade, talk along the way(mainly Chingna does all the toking) and some enlightenment to vlad. reach there, was confirmed that many pple last min cannot come, so juz make do with the remaining pple. Met Terence and Kevin sir there and proceeded on for lunch at Carl's Junior. First time eating there, quite nice though. Dawn n Johnson came shortly after that, together.

After lunch, went to ECP and went to the bowling centre. Never bowled in the end, with juz playing of some arcade games. Not proficient in those games. After that, dawn n johnson went off. Then tok cock with the CIs before they went for the CIBTC investiture. After they left, me ching na and vlad took bus 135 to AMK hub. Reach there, went to the arcade, see vlad play the music thingy. He pro sia. after that, eat at nebo club there. the food there also very nice. Tok alot there. Stayed there for around 2 hours. Then left for separate way home.

Meet u all up soon, maybe for group study or to welcome wiky back.

Tmr will be hw day, must complete a lot of stuffs.

Be optimistic, tmr will be a better day!!!

been seeing quite a few saddening blog posts and statements on facebook. All quite saddening with their lifes. To those reading this blog, just rmb,think on the bright side of live. No matter how hard or how tiring a thing is, it will end one day. Grab whole of the opportunity, and make the best out of everyday. treat ytd hipcups as a learning experience, and make sure those hipcups wun happen twice. stay optimistic on the following day, a rainbow may appear, and things will be much smoother than before.

today had training with the BK. Quite okay, attendance still a problem. Did not get to use the audi due to some renovation there. So only one audi training afterall. After that, did a newsletter in microsoft publisher, a nice software. Completed almost everything, then went out to play basketball with squadmates and kairong. Played for awhile, went for a late lunch at KFC. Eat, took some photos and went home.

A better day ahead

Today, was my first hw day. Quite productive today. Just now just finished some science ws. Hope to finish most of them later on.

went to hougang mall with my mum this morning. Did some banking work then went to purchase some shirt for CNY. Bought a white top, quite nice, then went for lunch at KFC. had buddy meal with my mum, love the chicken, very nice. bought some grocery then went back home. then started my polishing for my boots and belt with the new kiwi. Last time polished was at hk. quite screwed up the polishing was. boots are quite nice now, belt completed like 1/4 of it. Polish another day.

later will complete some of the ws. next hw day will be coming sunday. Wanting to complete some of the comprehension and the cl work. Tmr got training as usual and hike briefing. Going to start on the projects soon.

I feel Sensational!!!

Just some update from the book I am still reading. Read around 1/3 of it. The book is certainly aspiring and mostly the quotes that I had put are from the book. Just as the title says, this may be one of the few methods to start your day. When you wake up, ask yourself, "how do I feel?". Reply one of this,I am feeling good, I am great, I am sensational!!!. Maybe this you perk you up for the rest of the day.

Today just went back school for training as usual. BK finally on the rehearsal phase, but the attendance is not satisfactory. attitude is much better, but more are expected. Had half an hour of basketball in the ISH, alone, having some self training. Felt that my techniques have improved. After that, had lunch with squadmates and return home after that.

Today wasn't that productive, with no work done also. Been reading pples blog and picked up a habit. Setting a homework day. This idea was from jacinth. See whether it works for me.

BBQ this sat has been postponed. But i think there should still be a gathering organised by ourselves. Look forward to it. Hear from u all soon.

Tmr will be my hw day. Gonna complete some stuffs or else gooing to cramp up my remaining holidays with those stuffs.

A Day with More to Achieve

Today, was a rather peaceful day for me, but not quite achieving. Woke up at 0730 in the morning and went to school for some briefing on city venture 2010. Along the mrt journey day, continued with the book "how to have an outstanding life". Been reading that book nowadays. It really perks me up when reading it as it let me have different points of views on different things and gives me knowledge to handle other stuffs.

After that meeting, had lunch with hh n levine at S11 and tok about some random things. After that went back home by the bus and continued with the same book. Finished 1/3 of the book already. Reached home, did some proposal stuffs and was chatting with some pple juz now, nothing much was done.

Many things to be completed, but quite reluctant to do them. Tmr will have the next BK training, hope that there will be a change in the attitude and things will then be able to move on.

Now, I will try to update this blog everyday, as it marks my change in my life and other viewpoints. And ending off every posts with a quote that i had learnt.

what i am into until the end of the holidays

It will be quite busy for the rest of the three weeks of the holidays, with homeworks and quite a lot of things not done yet. Very busy in fact, with everything piling to the last and a lot of things to settle. As many can see, change the template of my blog, and changed my writing style too. Started to write in paragraphs rather then sentence. Hope to improve my english standard.

Things that I will be into

1. Homeworks

Until now, just completed like only one worksheet. Still left the 15 comprehension, english projects, chinese hw, bio essay, bio ws, chem ws, and much more to be completed. Going to have some motivation to do them.

2. NPCC

Completing the BK training quite soon, with the syllabus almost finished and starting with the actual rehearsal with the song. Problems still lies on the motivation and effort and of course, the attendance. Will be into city venture 2010 planning and some admin stuffs in the store. Going to assign duties soon to clear the areas of the store. Completed some parade sequence for next year, so won;t be too busy next year, and certainly prevent screw-ups. School orientation also coming soon, with our prep starting from the registration day. Hope to attract more people to npcc under our advertisement.

3. PB

Done with the duty list, with new iniatives coming up. More welfare and motivation will be given to them. Hope for a better work year 2010.

4. Self-enriching

Just now juz borrowed a book from library, called "How to have an outstanding life" by Paul Smith. Was like spamming the book juz now, and mainly talk about leadership and management of stuffs. Quite inspiring, going to find books like that to read. Felt motivated to do stuffs after reading it. Going to post more of this review of the books after I read them.

5. Self-training

Need to start to train up my physical and mental strength. Just set some new goals and hope to achieve them. Training up for my napha next year, want to get a very high score in total. Also training up for the shooting com next year, hope to get further than this year, as this year was definitely a screwup for me.

6. Friendship

Going to sustain the valuable friendship as I had mentioned in my last post. Hope to meet you all soon, which is this sat for the bbq and event, and hope for some group study or stuffs where we can get together.

Its going to be busy, definitely, but its achievable with the remaining 3 weeks. Hope to aspire and inspire others. Aim high, Achieve High.

follow up of HK trip

NPCC Hongkong Macau Trip was certainly a eye-opener for me, and certainly had given me plenty of memories and friendship that I will never forget. Apart from the nice experience of sight seeing at the various police depts and place of interest, I have brought back something that I valued the most - friendship.

After coming back from hongkong, my life is just going round and round with these hk tip friends. Maybe is not the all the 29 pple from different schools, but certainly some of them have given me many memories during the trip and the two weeks after the hk trip.

Before that trip, I don;t have much friends, or friends that I always wanted to hang out with. After the trip, the friendships that I had gained are certainly valuable to me. After coming back, I had been online every night on the msn, and only scrolling down my contact list with the group "OEV Hongkong and Macau" and see who are available to chat. On facebook, I had been looking at the different profiles and updates of the hk trip friends.

I value these friends that had been with me for the past few weeks. May the friendship last and thanks for the wonderful experiences and memories created with the outings/gatherings with all of u.

Although I don't talk much during the gatherings, or as what you all are saying where i am stoning, I am actually observing and listening. So sry that i dun talk much as I had tried hard already.

Thank you to this few friends who had set a path in my life and made me appreciate the power of friendship.

1 Vladimir
2 Jia Min
3 Ching Na
4 Rebecca
5 Aaron
6 Eunice
7 Jacinth
8 Faizal
9 Fathin
10 the rest

those mentioned were those who had accompanied me for the past few weeks. Hope to add to the list for more gatherings to come.

Hope to see all of u soon, and lets sustain this valuable friendship.

Friendship means a lot to me now.

100th Post - Summary of the school year

today is the first day of "holidays"

Last day of term 3

today was finally the last day of term 3
but it was still quite hectic.
original plan for today was to have our HCL prelim 3 paper in the morning.
However, the NYGHS sap school event is on today,
thus we were exempted from the exam in the morning.

Had morning meeting again
as normal dismissed them to duty
then helped out in some arranging of benches
then took my bag and got ready for the event.
Departed from school with the other 29 cath high student and 4 teachers
was late again.
There was like 10 student leaders and the rest were china student
no comments

Reached there at around 0850
with some other schools which arrived around the same time as us
the 10 SLs went to an auditorium to watch the "live" telecast of the event at another auditorium,
on the way up, saw jiahan from RVPS
then when we just got our seats, the emcees started introducing.

Everything was quite smooth for the event,
had a break in between and had a walk with the exhibition
and just look around the school
hoped to search for ideas for improvements for our own school
after taking the break, went back to the auditorium for the second round.
The second round was quite boring but still managed to learn some new stuffs.
for this event, saw quite a number of RVPS peopel
jiahan (same audi), huiwen n her close friend (forgot her name) - during the break
joshua during the break and joey (during dismissal)

after taking the bus back, had our lunch and the HCL students got ready for their "re" HCL paper 2
doing at the level 2 of the freezing library
managed to complete the whole paper (some parts quite tricky)

after that rushed for PB sec 1 interview
still on time for the first group
thanks tiger for buying us Mac
started to eat my mac quickly
quite hungry (dunnoe why also)
overall comment on the people coming for interview
some have potential, some were quite blur, some need to be more confident
reminded me of when i was sec 1
sitting down there, with dan beside me and the teachers in front of me
but now everything had changed
soon, it will be our turn to step down and passing down to the next batch.

tmr will be homecoming day
quite fine with tmr
some friends coming down to my sch
going to bring them for a tour
manpower will be quite tight tmr
and i am still going to be dunked at 1050
come dunk me if interested

have a lot of things in mind to put it in plan
have to do a lot more things
wanted to have more friends
close ones
and more outings with them
quite lonely at times
but i am still strong enough
but going to stick with my principles
but changed some parts to different organisation

"if not you then who, if not now then when"

Happy Teachers' Day 2009!!!

today is teachers' day
went to SLB room in the morning
where i found joel locked outside of the room as his key was taken by marcus
opened and went in to chat
nothing much to plan for teachers day as everything still lies with the student council
got ready with the morning meeting
where everyone was pretty excited
after some briefing for the concert later,
we presented the gifts that we had bought on sat to the 5 discipline teachers
after that, as per normal, the morning assembly
everyone was like joking around, not that serious anyone
who cares, its Teachers day

after the morning assembly, was asked to be in the hall for some briefing by SC
lack of communication and planning still led to some miscommunication
which sort of wasted quite some time
after that went back class for some 15mins lesson
on conduction, convection and radiation
there will be more class tests coming up so have to prepare them soon.
it was a long recess which was quite chaotic
managed to go to the hall to prepare for assembly
and saw some of the rehearsals, the dance was pretty nice
then the students settled in the hall
and awaited for the performances to start
the student leaders were busy settling the souvenirs stuffs
i was giving mrs tay her gift, which includes a candle with a holder, a voucher and a packet of cookies.
after that took a ricola sweet from ms tan
and we were finally dismissed

went back to primary school with andy
on the way saw jenna at sengkang lrt
went there signed in and i was just looking around
saw the head prefect (current) which obviously she does not know me
not sure who are the vice
they are much busy as a head prefect now as they still need to perform
while in my era, i was just planning.
Then went to find huang lao shi in her usual classroom
which she has her remedials with 6.1
went up and saw the bunch of 6A-08 people
saw emily, fangshuo, and people
nvr get much time to talk to them
then was like crapping around with the juniors
and later bumped to elton and gang and went off with them
saw sheryl, yuxiang, and people
went down to find mrs ng
and we starting a small gathering
with mrs ng preparing her DIY masks for her dinner today
started to crap with YX, elton, sheryl and jenna
and weiting came in between after her lessons
after that at around 3.30
we split our way back home
and actually meeting for a movie
but it was cancelled as only elton, sheryl and me wanted to go
maybe we can go for a gathering soon 6A-06
long time nvr see liao
hope everyone can turn up

more things have to be done
and my HCL end of year is coming in two days time
need more effort to maintain more studies

a sense of achievement

today was such an enjoyable day
as managed to get back most of the marks
today, almost all the marks for all the papaers were check
and only additional math was not yet confirmed as there were some change in the marks
I was super happy with the marks for this term
and I had to sustain this result to get As in the overall
as first semester did not perform that well

so these are the results

Eng - 71 (A2) first A for english in CHS
HCL - 81 (A1)
E math - 84 (A1) not so sure
A math - should be around an A2
Physics - 75 (A1) careless, need to sustain all the test marks to get higher, but SPA still highest in class
Bio - 74 (A1) bio master this round, but overall still quite low, B4 only, final year will prove all
Chem - still not sure
Combined Humans - 82.5 (A1) SS was overall well done, History a bit lower then expected
Geo - Still not sure, but not too good for common test

so currently overall 467.5/600
and average 77.9%
but some of the subject i had expected to not do well

few more weeks to final year
which i certainly do not want to slack
and waste this term effort

Area 4 Survival Training Camp

Finally, the survival training camp was over.
Overall, this camp was quite a success to me
and I certainly enjoyed it.
This camp is useful and also taught me many things.

Dayone
After the add math paper and biology,
I waited for the recess bell to go off
and i am officially dismissed
to go for the survival training camp.
I gathered in the store after lunch break and gotten ready to go over.
I went up the bus with the sec 2 to accompony them with jacky sir.
Long time never see him already.
Took a short nap and reach the jetty very shortly.
Went to assemble and soon took the bumbboat over and gathered at the basketball court there
I was later assigned to group three
and was briefed by the camp cord, ziyi maam and mick sir.
Our group was called Nike
and we started planning our cheer and stuffs.
More and more schools join in gradually and more familiar faces were seen.
My group have Wen hao, Chuan Kai, Daneesh, Weimin, Jia Wei, Jasper, bryan, gavin and mroe and mroe.
After that, we started the camp with a treasure hunt.
walk around ubin and reach back to the campsite the last.
Dun have bag check so proceeded on with tthe admin and stuffs.
After that pitch tent,
was in the same tent with shaun, weimin, jasper, felix and jiawei
was the first group to pitch up,
competing with the full cath high grp.
This year the meal is much nicer,
no need to cook as all are combat rations.
then was campfire discussion
manage to get some ideas and formed up a skit
then was mass debrief and sentry and slept
first time able to sleep soundly due to the tiredness of the exams.

day 2
woke up in the morning
and gotten ready for physical training
lead by joseph sir
was quite okay and quite fun during the sing a long during the run
then breakfast and gotten ready for the land expedition and jetty jump.
Went around ubin during the land expedition
with Desmond sir, vincent sir, jiahui and wenqi maam.
Quite fun but it started raining
so delayed and did not manage to finish the whole journey
went by the dirt track/shortcut
back to the campsite
came back with a pair of muddy shoes.
gotten back and known that the IRC did not manage to do anything due to the rain
got ready for the jetty jump
everyone was excited about that
i jumped the second
when step on the board, the feeling was so intense
the few seconds seemed like hours when dropping down
then whoosh it went into the sea
shiok is the only feeling i felt
after that clean up and prepared for lunch
everyone was waiting for us
after lunch was IRC
i was looking forward to this
have a short briefing and i found out thtat the challenge was much safer
with theCBD
help out with the ladder for a while
and went up to challenge
i went for the harder one cus the easier one tried before
it really test my physical powers
first time so tired after doing high elements
it was a triangle shaped station
3 station
first one quite easy when got the hang on it
second one was commando hang
super tired after that my hand no strength and neck very pain
got an abrasion in the ankle area becus of that
last one was balancing
started by holding the rope
but instructor told me to go back and try without holding
in the end with much effort still manage to cross over
delighted
AFTER irc WAS dinner and wash up
bath quickly and got ready for the campfire
it was so high at that moment
the sec2 came shortly from bahru campsite
and joined us in the songs
then we proceeded into the ring
campfire, i was sitting with nadeesh
was so high throughout
talking and cheering out loud
camp closed and all went back to foyer
had the survival games which was quite boring for me as not enough time
debriefed and slept

third day - last day
suddenly woken up by fire drill
rushed down and started the tekan session
but still managed to pull through
i think the clearest memory i had was the fire drill
and i still managed to learn the most thing in that.
The punishments and style given by the instructors
their orders impressed me
going to pick up that skill soon
useful for unit camp
then pt by yan hao sir
was quite fine
but not the abs part
very suan
after that we had unpitching of tents
then followed by the finalle activity
our group won that and earn 60 points
the ifrst win in the camp
then we continued with area cleaning
was quite xianzzz as our group was pumped becus we help the tents
after helping to clean the foyer, then the canteen, then the mess tins, then stove
so was quite unhappy for that
but that will be just a pass and parcel
so nvm
continued with the other activities
and was debriefed by SMS
and was waiting for the final briefing
eat watermelon by the instructors and waited for the sec2 to come
prize presentation
sec2 nvr win anything
i dun blame them cus we were like that before
this year our squad finally got one booster
jeffrey was the best camper
unit spirit all come back liao
kale again was the female best camper

after that, all were dismissed back into the unit
and was lead by YH sir out to the jetty
we were like chionging all the way, overtaking schools
but we managed to push on
returned to mainland and waited to debrief
crap with the sec 2
and was dismissed
eat lunch with jeff and guys and went back early cus my parent came to fetch me

this camp had layed the foundation for me to come back
as a CI after pop
i loved the family of area 4 instructor and hope to come back
wait for me CIBTC D10

A tiring day

Today was the second day of the mastery review.
yesterday was the chinese and math paper.
the chinese paper was a bit challenging.
and almost not enough to complete the whole test.
Nevertheless, still managed to do quite fine for it
as some of the answers gone through by another class was correct.

Math was easy for everyone of us who took it.
No determinant and challenging questions.
All was just simple concept
and some accuracy in the answers.
The others was just fine.

We had our LOTF presentation also.
Done very smoothly
although some lagging parts during my presentation
overall was good
thanks to the research that we had done for this.

Today was the physics and e history day.
Elec history was quite smooth
manage to spam all the information into that two pages.
My conclusion was like 3/4 the page.
Reliability should not be a problem.
After that was physics,
quite shocking with the questions
but manage to answers some of it.
Hope to get a high score for that.

Today was like super busy and tired.
Was like trying to finish revising the 5 essays of SS
Chemistry and spamming some geo notes.
I think I have to use my visualization skills again.
If there is time, i will try to memorise,
if there isn't, i will try to capture the image of the page and capture the important points/
Hard to use that for geo and ss
tmr go to school still have to study to recap by brief studying of today.

The day after will be the Survival Trainign camp plus the end of mastery review.
Still have not packed my bag
and i have a goal to acheive during this camp
See whether i have make it in my next few posts.
Going to rest my mine for tmr hell
due to the lack of time and lack of preparation.

平时不烧香，临时抱佛脚
i finally relized this.

aimless soul

Today was certainly boring for me.
Woke up at 830 today
then scan through the chinese newspaper
after that, had my breakfast

Managed to watch television
and started to study physics
kinematics and physical quantity
then had my lunch
after that lunch,
i slacked all the way then switched on my comp.
Finally alias with yx, yc, n shaun for the LOTF project.

At around 2.30
set off to bishan library to do the project
went to the topp floor,
then walk one big round before finding yc n yx who are hiding at one corner.
Shaun came a bit later then me,
he too was walking one big round.

Did some edits to my research
then went to macdonalds for some tidbits.
Bought a large fries
and finally tried the seaweed thingy
It was overall quite nice although i did not mix it properly

Went home after that
went to hougang mall to see some books
saw emily on the way.
She was with her mom n sis (if i not wrong)
THEN WENT TO POPULAR
to search for some more books
then went to library to read some comics
then went home in the end

been slacking all this well
no mood for hardcore mugging
as mugging is not my hobby

going to find time to meet up with friends
and also prepare for mastery review

National Day Celebration 2009

Today was the national day celebration.
This year, NPCC was the GOH for the parade.
The GOH was all ready by 7am today.
I was the parade commander for the event.
I did some of the preparation and got ready for the final rehearsal.
The rehearsal was quite a screwed up
as did not manage to execute properly.
We were dismissed for a break and went to report my temperature.

At around 8am
The parade was formed up and the school was ready.
After the emcee had finished, I marched in and took my position.
Sized up the contingent and march in the GOH.
After the long full sequence,
we had the march past.
"Kawalan Kehormatan, dari kiri, chepat jalan"
and the band went on and the GOH march on.
After marching under the indoor sports hall,
it was finally declared over.
We had some photos and a debrief.

To all who had participated in this year parade,
thank you for all your hard work and commitment.
To the teachers,
thank you for guiding us along in the preparation of the parade,
we had learnt a lot from this experience.
To my CC,
thanks for all the sweat that you all have given to maintain the standard of respective contingents
To all cadets,
thanks for pushing yourself on despite having a lot of scoldings from us
To the GOH,
you all have done us proud and i am certainly proud of you all.

After the parade,
noel, clay, ronald, andy, shaun,weimin and me rushed back to the grandstand
to take our prize
throphies for the rig-challenge
from mr Lee.
After that, took some more photos
and changed to class tee
and joined the class for the competition.

Then, I was told that the school compound was vandalised again.
This time was the plaza and the rock wall.
I went up to take a look.
The one at the plaza was cleaned off,
but not for the rock wall.
It was spray paint again.
The vandalism was targeted at a teacher,
although i seriously thinks that the teacher is a respectable teacher.
I hope the school can find out who is it soon,
and i seriously condemn those who had made such atrocities.

Our class won 3rd in the inter class soccer
and our class seemed to bond very well.
Mastery review is coming soon next week
and still checking whether can meet up with the OBS people
on National Day.

More things to be done, STC coming up soon.

Leadership

nothing to do
write this stuffs about leadership

to me
leadership is not a position
but a responsibility

leaders are not someone who empowers
but someone who influence

leaders are not perfect
but definitely not slackers

this few days
dealing with leadership stuffs
pls dun blame me if i am being harsh on u all
either npcc or pb
i have my reasons for it
i will continue to push on
and i will not close one eye

there are lot of things that leaders do
not just physically,
mentally too
preparations are done beforehand
even the type of punishments that u all have received

to the slackers out there
pls do not try to challenge the leaders
they can see what u r doing

leadership is all up to yourself
whether u wan to take it or not
is whether u want to train up your leadership skills
camps, lectures, courses
all value of leadership are similar
but what truely determines yourself as a leader
is ACTION

action is not to be done easily
some juz cannot put themselves to do it
the change has come
no more slack day for npcc
better standards are going to be made

tough time nvr last
tough people do

if not u then who
if not now then when

start to train your leadership skills
and it will definately help u in your future

as my quote go
nvr extinguish
always aflame

this is called the torch within u
if up to u whether u want to reignite it
and make a blazing fire out of it
it is your passion
your belief
and no one can ever extinguish it for u
