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.

RIV P4 Camp 2010
RIV P4 camp was finally over since a few months long preparation. Good job by all facilitators once again, creating another peak for the standard of camp. Peak after peak, thats what we are aiming for, and i believe next few camps will definitely improve.
1st Day
went to sch just around the time to board the bus. Wait for a while, then departed for Jalan Bahtera Campsite. It was at a quite ulu place, at a very cornered place at lim choa kang. In the bus was quite high, as all facils are ready to start work. Reached there around 3.30 then started work. Walk around the campsite, and just roaming with ben to see what can be done. Help out with some activities and took some photos.
Then dinner, was quite okay, then went for next activity. Twin tower. The senior facs all preparing for surprise for the facils at the second floor. Started preparing water bombs from the toilet. Prepared around 50++ water bombs. After that, when the kids are all wet, the facils eventually were the ones getting wet, by how, flying waterbombs and pail of water from second level. none was dry at the end. but fun ended quite abruptly with some unhappiness. Eventually was wash up then supper. Supper was in bad mood also, so dun mention over here. Then debrief for the kids. Then got the kids to sleep. As expected, more scolding is needed for the kids to get sleeping.
After that debrief, many things to mention, but all was worth it as second day proved that all facils had listened. then debriefed until around 1230 then dismissed all for wash up. Then went for senior facs briefing. Plan with edward for the next days activity, with support of marilyn and binglin at the side. And josh and ben for bbq food. planned all, went to bath then prepare the video. Finished the video at around 3 plus. then went to rest. at the centre bunk which is for senior facs. Slept at basement first, with all other seniors facs, but around 1 hour later, it started pouring, then went up to sleep. Super cold then. But after awhile woke up, then help to do sentry at my area cus it is quite rainy then. Check safety. So in total slept for 1 hour.like the average of wat all the others senior facs.
2nd Day
Rain started to subside, but still need to do some saikang in the rain. But nvm, did with edward. Played with our jackets. Funny. Then rushed them back to canteen for breakfast. Then started wet weather plan. Helped out with the teambuilding games, very funny for the group who came to me. Chicky dance by ezra. After that, was called by ed to do some wet weather plan. Then stayed at senior facs "command post". Trying out the walkie. fun sia. But at that time damn presurizing, pressing for time. but everything went well. after that, area cleaning, clear bunk, then took first bus back to riv. once reach back, settled the logistics for mini olympics. when i finished preparing, the rest was all back. so juz nice for lunch. briefed faci on games, then went back to hall. then was my activity. briefed the kids, then off they go. played with the airhorn, but proven to be very scary. but time short, snowball effect kicks in, until i cannot push anymore, ended the game. after that outdoor cooking. then my dinner.then started the preparing for camp fire. was with the walkie. called in alot of time. fun.
campfire, very shiok. started out like zi hai. at the back, performance by senior facs, gee, very nice. then my video. ended with the song. shouting the song, waving the flag. super nice. like one big family. after that campfire close, went back hall for debrief. took group photos went for supper.
This camp was very enjoyable. Thanks the seniors for the hard work in making the camp possible and helping out in previous years. Wish you all good luck in your future years. Taken new responsibilities, more committment, but i will definitely enjoy. once a riverlite, always a riverlite. look forward for the next gathering. thanks the seniors for passing down their legacy smoothly to us. and skills that i found very valuable during this camp. learnt most of the skills needed. I learnt many things during the camp adn i hope all facils had learnt something out of this camp.

RVPS P5 Camp 2010
Its been exactly 1 week since the camp had ended. RVPS P5 Camp 2010 is the last P5 camp going to be held in the school as the school is replacing it with a P4 camp starting at July this year. I had finally been able to help out since graduation at 2006. Being affected by cca and school activity, this year is my first year officially as a camp facilitator, or perhaps a senior mentor. It is warming to see such a strong group of alumni in this primary school and I am certainly proud to be part of this strong alumni group, while other school might not even have enough "loyal" alumni to be helping out in their camp.
1st Day
Went to school right after my school annual sports meet. Unknown of the future, impending all the new stuffs as it is still my first year in the camp. But stepping up as a senior mentor, there is certainly much more to look on. Reach sch, signed in, and start to find things to do. Settle the students, then wanted to take my dinner, but have to postpone my meal cus of some prize presentation ceremony. It turned out to be a giving of camp facil t-shirt by Mr Mah, the new RVPS principal. Took my camp t-shirt and was proud to be singing my alpha mater school song once again ending with the chorus after the first verse. Then everything continued. Activity started and started my job officially. It was the night treasure hunt. Went for my quick dinner and join the rest in helping the activity. It was fun going to all places in the school, reviving my memories in the school. After that, i think it was wash up cum supper. Help out with the wash up, rushing all the kids as they r reluctant to separate from the clothes. Encourage and off they went bathing. Talk with some of the juniors and teach they something in the end. This year seems to have a lot more new faces and had a hard time recognising them, which i am quite okay now with the new faces. After wash up, had some quick supper, and it was briefing for the campers for next day sengkang explorer, as well as the facils. I was part of the roaming group. After that, sleeping time, gotten the campers to sleep and back to ava room for debrief. Indeed, some bad news, but everyone gotten the message. Had nothing to contribute for debrief while the senior old birds were sharing their thoughts. Me and ben sitting aside, listening, while yx went to talk.
After the debrief, everyone dispersed for their bathing. Me and ben and yx were collating the meals for supper. Had a long time, retook orders again and again and finally settled. We went to bath, last, and then awaited for the meal to come. In the end, some unpleasant things happen, but managed to settle in the end. Talk to some of the facils, then back to music room to sleep.
Day 2
Woke up at 5.30. Should be the first. Changed to the camp facil t-shirt which was designed by me. The design the altered a bit. The shirt was orange in colour, quite nice and every facil was wearing it in the morning. After i finished, most of the facils was up, including hte girls. Went up the hall, surprised, campers were also all up already. After that, back to hall, help to settle the campers down, then was breakfast. After that, rushed through my breakfast, then had a briefing for sengkang explorer. Not long, me and ben set off for the safety checks. But mainly our responsibiility was to demerit and merit the groups which had done badly or do somehthing right. Went round and round, then came back to school for lunch. Rushed through again, was helping out with the cultural thingy, but needed to bring a lost sheep back to his group, took a wrong round, and went round and round. Then decided to be patrolling again, this time talking to axel at a station. After that, finally finished, went back sch, the campers brought down their barangbarangs, and then dinner. Rushed through again, was so full after the dinner. After that was camp fire prep for campers and facils. Settle some chairs quickly and joined the rest in the hall for some cheers and rally by edward and josh. Fun, learnt much from them. Then off for chicken dance and stuffs. Was so high by then. Then proceeded down for campfire. Everything was in place. Started everythign.
Campfire was fun. Video. Then presentation of certs. Then cheers from each grp. Then highlights. The senior facilitator (the very old birds) put up a dance performance for everyone. Called the wonder boys dancing "Nobody". Very nice. THen ended off with prize presentation again. Ben and Emily was the best facilitator.
Campfire ended and started to dismiss the campers. The facils meet up later, and principal talk to us. Then we discuss more. and we retreated to canteen for the final performance. By the SF. THen most went to KFC or Mac to have supper. Me and ben was discussing for the next camp plan.
Reflections
I will like to thank all the senior mentor (edward, joshua, clinton, alastair)for their guidance. Although this year is their last year, and passing down the torch, you all had left a great legacy behind and we look forward in seeing you all 3 years later after your army. Thanks for the wonderful dance also.
Although being in the camp for 1 year, its been a whole new experience for myself, even being through so much different camps. Everything is a new learning experience. I myself had gained many skills and knowledge throughout the camp and I believe all the facils did as we enjoyed our time during the camp. I am pleased to even see it myself that the facils are growing up and becoming more mature as they become leaders. There is a difference between the first day and second day. I wanted to point it out on the debrief on the second day but due to time constraint, i have to do it here. From maids, you all become guides. From facils, you all become soul-mates and friends of the campers. From mature kids, you all become sensible leaders.
This experience I will never forget. I had certainly able to suck in all the valuable experiences and knowledge which will be applicable for me in the next camp. I and ben will try our very best, and will certainly bring the camp to a whole new level. Together with all the facils, we thank the 4 old birds for their contribution as we will see you once again as senior facils for the last time during the upcoming p4 camp.
P5 camp is over.
Here comes P4 camp. Everything will start new. Everything will improve. Every year will be total new experience for the facils and campers.

Passing Out Parade 2010
Its been 4 years for me in this cca since I first step in as a cadet in 2007. Its been a very fruitful period in my life and had brought me fond memories and had certainly mould me to what I am here today. I am proud to say I am in 31st Batch and certainly proud to be CHSNPCC member. The skills that had been given to me will definitely be useful in my impending future.
In 2007, being adaptive to the new secondary school environment, I set foot in choosing my CCA, which will be part of seconadry school life. Not knowing why, or perhaps my interest in police stuffs, I entered NPCC as my first choice. Coming down for the first training, I first saw my squad leaders, Xuhao,Zhengjun and Tuckwai, and first time being part of 31st Batch. First year has been a tough one, needing to constantly improve myself and instilling discipline and teamwork together. But we had pulled through.As the year went along, the squad became more bonded and not long 28th batch stepped down, and working with our new squadleaders- Junwei, Leonard and Xingyu.
In 2008, officially as a senior now. Knew more things and certainly more demands to meet. At the start, gotten my LCP rank and some badges. Courses and events started to swarm in, but nevertheless manage to complete. 29th badge ofiicially step down and we work with our new squad leaders- Ruijie, Leh Chuan and Xavier. Went for the Malaysia overseas trip and had gotten new friendship, but unluckily, this friendship did not managed to last long after the trip was over.
In 2009, perhaps the most exciting time of my CCA life. Being the senior of the seniors, we had the increasing no. of scolding, but together as a batch, we had survived. Remembering the time where I prepared for my .22 classification, first detail of my squad to go into the range, managed to calm my nerves, and thankfully all pay off, getting full marks in the end. NPAP is also one of my highlights. Being one of the member in GOH, I am proud to represent my school and get the opportunity to wear the No.1 and the GOH badge.Around June, my batch had finally taken over as NCO. I am honoured to be the Chairman of the 31st Batch NOC council. Although some screwups here and there, we had managed to learn and consistently improve ourself. I am also honoured to be the parade commander of CHS ndp parade, as I also be part of the organizing committee and it had certainly broaden my prospectives. The camps and hikes also gave me a wonderful experience as our planning and organization skills were put to the test. The times where my buddies and i that slept for 1 hour was certainlly ardous, but we managed to pull through. Another fond memories that I had was perhaps the overseas trip to Hongkong and macau when I had a great memories with 29 individuals. This trip has certainly changed my views on some issues and I had certainly gained frinedship which is still present until now as we meet up for events or group studying. If people know me well enough, you might think why I changed in attitude, it is because of this trip.
In 2010, everything is comming to an end. Things dun last long. As a reshuffle in the NCO council, I became the co-chairman as others had to have the opprtunities to lead. I have gotten my SPF-NPCC badge and also the Best Unit Cadet badge. I has been a long way in obtaining all this badges, making it a remarkable 20 badges in total. Quite a high no. of badges that was attained.
Yesterday, my NPCC life have officially ended. Good luck to the incoming NCO council, as you all push CHSNPCC to a greater heights. I had great fun ytd during the concert and thanks for the gifts you all have given me. As I focus on my studies for the next few months, my heart will stay with you all, and i promise, at the end of the year, I will be back and make my life cross path with NPCC again.
I would like to thanks the people that make an impact in my NPCC life:
31st Batch - Thanks for working with me as we forged this unbbreakable brotherhood between us. Hope all of you excel in your studies and hope we stayed bonded forever.
Officers - Thanks for your guidance and patience as we learnt from our mistakes. The scoldings had became one of our fond memeries that we will never forget and the learning experience that bring with us throughout our lifes.
Cadets - Thanks for the opportunity for us to test out our leadership skills as we inspire you to improve. Do not complain on the trainings as it is meant for you to improve and one day become like us or even better. Tough time dun last, tough men do.
OEV HK - Thankyou for the wonderful experience, and changing my personality which i feel happy about now and pls meet up soon for gatherings or group study.
As I end off, this 4 years have been a tough ones, but we had passed the test as we threw our berets high ytd, marking the end of the NPCC life. But never forget the experience and learnings in this cca, we had certainly gained a lot. I will end off with my favourite quotes:
If not you, then who?
If not now, then when?
Not wait for things to happen,
Make things Happen.

In 2009, perhaps the most exciting time of my CCA life. Being the senior of the seniors, we had the increasing no. of scolding, but together as a batch, we had survived. Remembering the time where I prepared for my .22 classification, first detail of my squad to go into the range, managed to calm my nerves, and thankfully all pay off, getting full marks in the end. NPAP is also one of my highlights. Being one of the member in GOH, I am proud to represent my school and get the opportunity to wear the No.1 and the GOH badge.Around June, my batch had finally taken over as NCO. I am honoured to be the Chairman of the 31st Batch NOC council. Although some screwups here and there, we had managed to learn and consistently improve ourself. I am also honoured to be the parade commander of CHS ndp parade, as I also be part of the organizing committee and it had certainly broaden my prospectives. The camps and hikes also gave me a wonderful experience as our planning and organization skills were put to the test. The times where my buddies and i that slept for 1 hour was certainlly ardous, but we managed to pull through. Another fond memories that I had was perhaps the overseas trip to Hongkong and macau when I had a great memories with 29 individuals. This trip has certainly changed my views on some issues and I had certainly gained frinedship which is still present until now as we meet up for events or group studying. If people know me well enough, you might think why I changed in attitude, it is because of this trip.
In 2010, everything is comming to an end. Things dun last long. As a reshuffle in the NCO council, I became the co-chairman as others had to have the opprtunities to lead. I have gotten my SPF-NPCC badge and also the Best Unit Cadet badge. I has been a long way in obtaining all this badges, making it a remarkable 20 badges in total. Quite a high no. of badges that was attained.
Yesterday, my NPCC life have officially ended. Good luck to the incoming NCO council, as you all push CHSNPCC to a greater heights. I had great fun ytd during the concert and thanks for the gifts you all have given me. As I focus on my studies for the next few months, my heart will stay with you all, and i promise, at the end of the year, I will be back and make my life cross path with NPCC again.
I would like to thanks the people that make an impact in my NPCC life:
31st Batch - Thanks for working with me as we forged this unbbreakable brotherhood between us. Hope all of you excel in your studies and hope we stayed bonded forever.
Officers - Thanks for your guidance and patience as we learnt from our mistakes. The scoldings had became one of our fond memeries that we will never forget and the learning experience that bring with us throughout our lifes.
Cadets - Thanks for the opportunity for us to test out our leadership skills as we inspire you to improve. Do not complain on the trainings as it is meant for you to improve and one day become like us or even better. Tough time dun last, tough men do.
OEV HK - Thankyou for the wonderful experience, and changing my personality which i feel happy about now and pls meet up soon for gatherings or group study.
As I end off, this 4 years have been a tough ones, but we had passed the test as we threw our berets high ytd, marking the end of the NPCC life. But never forget the experience and learnings in this cca, we had certainly gained a lot. I will end off with my favourite quotes:
If not you, then who?
If not now, then when?
Not wait for things to happen,
Make things Happen.

SPF-NPCC Presentation Ceremony 2010
just came back from a long and arduous day in HTA. A joyous occasion also. Today was the SPF-NPCC presentation ceremony 2010.
after math lesson today, hurried down to dnt lab toilet to change and surried to hire a cab. Took the last cab and obviously reached there last, but took the shortest distance, spending only $14.60 on the taxi fee. Went into HTA, changed, and joined squad 5. Proceeded to LT2 to place our barangbarangs, then went for uniform inspection which took place at the corridoors. made some adjustments and proceeded to mess for some refreshments, where crapped with gideon and people.
after that, went into the harmony hall, for the rehearsal and sitting arrangement. After some long list of name calling, it was my turn, and had a practice run with commandant npcc. after that, some parents came and we took a short break. Everyone was out, looking at the NPAP training, flashing back to last year being part of it. Went back into Harmony Hall, sat down and waited, for quite some time. I was sitting with a beside a guy from maris stella, and another girl, Amirah, who was from the malaysia trip. Had some simple chatting and wait for time to pass.
After that, finally, GOH arrived and everything got going. Speech, followed by prize presentation. Was awaiting for my chance, and the feeling of uncertainty did not last long. Went up the stage, shaked hands, took photos, and gotten my badge. Finally, the badge is in my pocket. After that, jiamin was giving the valedictory speech for the cohort of 2010. Some shared memories, smiling and recalling some of the interest things in my NPCC life.
Waited to end, putting on my SPF-NPCC badge, looked at our photo montage. Mine was quite fine with some editing done, and was happy with it. We had dinner after that. Taking photos now. With squad, with officers, and especially hk trip pple. 11 in total got that badge. Some mainly were there. Took there, took here, finally took one group photo with ben and jeremy sir.
After that, fall back in, took our bags, took our certs, changed and off we go.
Perhaps, this ceremony might be one of my most memorable event in NPCC. Adding SPF-NPCC badge into my collection, I have currently 19 badges in total, still waiting for my kayaking badge. Its been a long time since I stepped into the arena of NPCC, I had not regretted taking my first step. Hope to continue to have NPCC as part of my life. Not forgetting the memories and friendship forged and updated today, hope to meet up soon. This are some of the things I will never forget in my life.
Some of the photos taken today at the ceremony, where friendship are renewed.

Ytd, was last day of the secondary 4 prefect doing duty. Announced the new incoming excos for the year 2010-2011. Hope we had done well and hope you all can continue with what we had done. Learnt hard and adapt fast before the excos officially step down. seek help if you need.
Today was april fools day. Quite a large amt of jokes happening today. Quite funny.
Finally, the new school banner is up, and mine banner is up too. Quite nice, but my name on the banner was wrong. Xianzzz. Heard that a larger one will be up soon, should be quite big, covering a few stories. The one like a family photo de. Should be quite nice. look forward to it.
Going to step down soon. Making all the preparation work for stepping. passing on the stuffs that we had done so far. 21st April will be mine investiture. Plannings are undergoing now, hope to have a very nice and pleasant investiture. POP is postponed further, should at 8 May. Quite late.

Muster Parade 2010
Today was muster parade once again. Happen twice in a year. Was quite smoothly done for this time, with preparation dated as back as last december. Was happy with the results.
Started out with opening today, started quite late, but still carried on. after that started with some man power problems, but most things were fine. Thanks to all who had helped out with the logistics. Had some rehearsal. Shouting still not as good. Around 5.30, started the real parade. Was the parade 2IC, so quite okay, except screwed up for one command. Nvm. Was awarded three new badges. Homefront security, police knowledge and best unit cadet. Was quite satisfied, but wonder why nvr get my 1st class drill.
Not much time left in NPCC. After HRC, will be POP soon on 30th April. Looking back, it has been a great time and great memories that npcc has brought me too. Changing from styles and roles, i have never regretted in coming into this cca. rising up after each fall, facing all the challenges, i am greatful to all that have done a part in training us, all squadleaders, officers and other people. This cca has given me chances, opportunities, friendship and certainly brotherhood. Congrats to all 31st Batch to have sustained until this far. Hope we have a great time with our remaining time.
Keep the passion alive.

Always Expect the Unexpected
Anything can happen at any time. Practice is the only platform to give you confidence. But during competitions, luck still counts. Even you think it is unexpected, be practical and always expect those unexpected things.
today, went early in the morning for the slb meeting. Discussed some important things then stayed back in store and wait for the campcraft competition people. around 2pm they came. Talk for awhile then set of for pierce. Along journey to busstop, went to buy bubble tea and bun to eat. Reach there, went to see the sec 3 team. they are at the earlier slot. Well done, hope to see them in the final. NCO team was later. Second last slot. Good work, but luck not with us. Dun be discouraged, try to learn somethings from this experience.
Managed to see some of the OEV HK people just now. some in action, some supporting.
Saw, yang tze, jiamin, eileen, gideon, shang yuan, zhiwen, vladimir. Even saw jerry and teck liang sir. Hope to have a gathering soon.
Ytd, was a symbolic event for me. Did two things during npcc training. Had the school photoshoot. First time got professional camera in action. Was with gabriel mao in full uniform. Search around then took some photos. A group family photos with some primary sch, some SLB people, and teachers. Like one family, with me and mao in full u. So quite wierd. Took my single photos also. After that went off and went to my SI interview. Second last one. Went quite well. Hope to get the rank.
Everywhere and any time are learning opportunities. Observe more and you can get more. Been observing more and learning new stuffs during the interview and the campcraft comp. need to focus on some training for myself. Muster Parade in two weeks time.

the first week of 2010 had just become history. It was one of the most stressful and busiest week i had ever been. school life seems so stressed up now, especially with the constant reminders from the teachers that o levels is just 200 days away.
not much change to my class teacher. with mr heng as eng and ms elaine goh as one of the geo with paul ng and krishnan as history and krishnan as ss. two different krishnan. taught by 4 HOD teachers now.
first week was hectic with cca talk and orientation talks and helping out with the sec one stuffs.
cca talk was quite successful as compared to the other UG with only some minor screw ups and also air rifle shootout which attracted a no of sec 1.
pb talk was very successful and manage to gain some respect from the sec 1. and the sec 1 all currently know how to tie a proper tie. the full windsor knots. assembly was quite funny as some sec 2 dunnoe how to tie, while all the sec one was smartly dressed.
not much time left, tmr will be the day. Getting back my chi results. I want an A1!

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.

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.
