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.

Life is never ending!

It is coming to an end of T1W3. Time have passed so quickly. Long time never posts, sry to all, cause really very busy with school stuffs and very tired everyday. Many things have happen and tried to accomodate with them.

Everyone is geeting busy with their school work, seriously. Trying to find time and meet for group study with the OEV HK people, but not much are free. Had one with Ching na last sunday on physics. Quite okay. Then went to watch avatar. The plot is superb and 3d movie is nice to. Hope to really meet up with the rest of the pple. Missed you all. Happy birthday to dawn also!

Taken up as a different role in CHSNPCC coucil structure. Need to take a step back and help to guide new people up. Orientation is also over and sec 1 are coming in soon. With a larger no compared then last year, hope things will work out more smoother.

Prelim coming in a 2 weeks time. Trying to revise everything. Tired souls and mind everyday relly stopped me from doing all those things. For the sake of my results, many things are sacrificed. Not much posting will be done on the blog, if possible, it will only be on the weekends.

To all my friends, stay in contact and good luck for your endeavours.

Year 2010

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.
