took some pics from sam's blog.

sec 1 orientation camp was fun, cause we are the

UGLs, and are entitled to slack. seeing those

sec 1s brought back the old memories. like how

'toot' we used to be.(:

however, back then, we were much more well

behaved, less daring, less outspoken. sec 1s these

days..they would never understand again. sigh...

anyway, this camp's main 'attraction' is the campfire.

the campfire that raynor and the rest planned so

hard for.

the morale of the sec 1s was initially low, but with

the help of the OGLs and emcees, the sec 1s perked

up abit, and started to get hyper. halfway through,

the fire suddenly died, got all of us so nervous as to

what to do. but the npcc had quick reaction time, &

got the fire back up in fast time. towards the individual

class performance time, it started to rain. all the UGLs

were already on standby, just waiting for Raynor to

shout for cat 1 or sth. then had to bring canteen

benches up to the hall.

any idea how heavy a bench is? individually carry up

to the hall and all. so saikang can. not that we are so

weak that can't even carry a bench, but its so saikang!!!!

anyway, mr siva was super kind to treat us to

dinner-cum-supper at around 11 ++. 100 bucks yo!

anyway, the greens(that would be us, cause our tees

are green), walked to amk central macs, ate and chat.

went back to sch, patrolled around, enjoying amkss

at night. (:

bathed in cold water!!

'song bo?!'

'song ah!!!!!'

carried sofa into NPCC room, and all the

not-supposed-to-be-done stuff are all done! hahaha

don't think wrongly, its nth much!

after awhile, kapo rc room's stretcher and brought it

into parade square. crapped with barrie, desmond and

sam. in the end, slept 1 hour only.

next morning, woke up hald dead. but the consolation

was that, while others were having lessons, we were

at bishan park slacking away. sec 1 classes did not come till

much later though.

speaking about sec 1s, they totally made us shout like shit.

esp the station masters. sec 1s these days..*shakes head*

after all the classes left, we could go!! went to RC HQ to collect

badges! i've now got full house and 1 extra badge!! wheeee

okay, i feel i'm beginning to more hardworking!

:D bye ppl!

What Hurts The Most

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
But that’s not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do

It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ It
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

(Not seeing that loving you)
That’s what I was trying to do

more memories. (:

CCAO

you won't understand; don't even
bother to imagine how i felt.
that humiliation, i couldn't bear.
i'm sorry, perhaps i ain't as capable
as you all are.

but i am who i am, that won't change.
and we do what we feel's right.
i'm sorry and thank you.

today, all i can say is that i'm disappointed.
disappointed in my cadets
disappointed in their behaviour
disappointed in the number of new sec 1s
disappointed at how they wear their uniform
disappointed in how others view us
disappointed in myself.

however, i could at least see some passion.
that look in their eyes that i can't forget.
we'll be letting go soon,
will they make us proud?
will they uphold our unit's name?
will they uphold the meaning behind the emblem?
will they have more respect for us?
will they learn?
will they be independent?
and the most important, will they show the
rest our strength? our unity?

cadets, you all are my pride, glory, and joy.
we(ncos) have groomed you into who you
are today. please don't let us down. we have
trained you so hard, and our efforts are
paying off, bit by bit. your bangings are
improving. you bang as one!

our past footdrill motto was
'one soft united bang is better than one loud machine gun bang'

now our motto can be changed, cause
we have done better. i'm proud of you
for that! we will win 2nd runner up in FDC.

we...........come from RED CROSS
famous in all UG.
we come from a famous grp called RED CROSS.
we fight for our glory, we fight for our victory,
we fight with a spirit never seen before.
RED CROSS RED CROSS all the way!
we like it here we like it there we found
ourselves a home, a home,
HOME SWEET HOME! *bang*

stepping down with pride.
don't belittle us, we'll outshine you.

rrooaarrr, my attempts to blog always fail.
anw, today ccao. damn rush and last min,
scare the daylights out of us when they said
our HOLY ambulance wouldn't arrive. ncos all
got so worked up, and the sec 3s were silently
anxious. afterall, this is their performance.

when the ambulance finally arrived, qh and i
were there to direct the ambulance to its parking
spot. she cheered like to no ones business. felt
super relieved too la. then comes the rushing part,
before the performances start.

a lil' bit of cock up abt performance time, cause
ambulance came late. so, waited till the other
CCAs all finished their performance before we
started ours. as according to planned, i was situated
in the ambulance with alvin sir and bettina ma'am.
felt my heart rate increasing rapidly as the ambulance
drove smoothly and smartly down the heavy metal ramps
that kind-hearted ugians helped us to move.
everything happened so fast, that the ambulance was
barely in the limelight for more than a mere minute.
i guess everyone was stunned by our performance.

anyway, after that was the class by class to booth time!
i was stationed at the ambulance with alvin sir. learned
evac gold & how to push the stretcher up the ambulance
as well as demo to the over-excited and impatient little
KIDDOS. they are seriouslt kiddos okay, look at the way
they play and everything.


and so meanwhile, yf and a few others verbally explained
to them all the happenings in rc. yiling and the other few
were 'baking' under the sun, trying to cook the sausages
and other foods.

let me tell you, being the ambulance crew is damn not
easy alright! trying to load and unload the stretcher left
blisters on my palm. actually, the stretcher is damn light
one, its the casualty that's heavy. tremendous strength is
needed. i think i cocked- up with that stretcher thing, almost
injured xinyu and weilin. i'm apologetic. heh. anyway, learnt
sth new, and i'm glad about it. (:

and and!!!, guys did enrol okay!! i'm so glad!!!! we're gonna
have guys, hopefully. heh, i think this year is a success. and
even though it was done super last minute, the presence of
the ambulance just changed everything. and thanks to the
help of alvin sir, bettina ma'am, seniors xinyu, weilin and kexin,
i guess we will have more enrolment this year. but i hope these
students will understand that we weren't conning them to
join. its just, performance. sigh, we aren't conning them.

anyway, good job sec 3s. your next agenda is to complete your
ice breaker proposal. good luck!

gosh, another thing to add. i'm not scandalous, and there's nothing
much abt the peak cap thing to tease me abt. so conclusion
is, there's nothing gg on!!! :D

and school starts again tmr! its gonna be another hectic
week. sighhhhhhhhhhhh.

i miss Ms Poon.

okay, bravo outing. super happy to meet up
with them, i dont' know why. felt relaxed and
just, err happy. =) watched golden compass
with sl, sh, hy, aaron & farhan sir. the ending
of the show was !@#$%^&. probably cause
there would be another show. inside the
cinema was super cold, and imagine me
holding my full rc uniform and boots.

after movie we rushed to cityhall mrt.
met the rest, and headed to seoul garden.
it was quite funny at first, when we tried
to avoid eye contact with SOME PEOPLE.
heh, so siling and i, retardedly pretended
to count the number of eggs on the tray.
super retarded and stupid!
when we went to our seats, things got even
funnier. we picked the side with less sirs,
ended up sitting with shaf, jeannie, karin,
sh, hy, farhan sir and mas ma'am. it was super
funny, cause everyone was high and hyper,
esp shaf. when cooking the food, we were all
NOOBS, dont' know how to cook, and some
like don't know how to use chopsticks, so
the food ended up flying around.
strands of noodles, sausages and blah blah
went all around the table.

and not to mention, after eating one small
plate of spaghetti, i felt super super full,
that both siling and i were trying so hard
to push the remaining spaghetti on our
plates into our mouths. siling commented
that our spaghetti was the most expensive
spaghetti ever. heh, and some ppl, just have
super huge appetite. their stomachs, like a
bottomless pit. heh, kept eating and eating,
eat their $23 dollars worth. haha,

after that, went esplanade to 'chill'.
relived rcyc. by bathing in the wind!, very
cooling up there, talked and played games,
aww, i love it! =D at 10.30, ys sir said that
we were kids and have to go home early,
so we all left. took same train as siling, aaron,
shaf, ys sir and kr sir. siling dragged shaf
to our train. haha, shaf lives in cck, super
duper far away from esplanade. hahaha, so
when siling and aaron got off at tpy, shaf and
me were left to face the 2 sirs. all we could do
was smile. heh. poor shaf, cause i left her with the
2 sirs when i alighted at khatib. but according
to her, nothing happened. she's super lucky! =DD

anyway, that's all la, nothing much, just super
happy to meet all of them again.

currently watching romantic princess, its hilarious!
but crunchyroll seems to have numerous users,
so the show loads very slow. sigghh, holidays are
ending soon. the last week's gonna be hectic!
i hope we can give edna the best birthday present!

no one tagged!!
heartbreakkkkkkk! =(

okay and so malaysia's just fine. just a lil' bit boring,
there's seriously nth that is very entertaining here.
and everyday i live the life of a pig. of course, this
pig is on her lappy for like morning till night every
day. but that's because its the only source of
entertainment alright.

everyday has been msn-ing with bravo peeps.
but its still as interesting, cause everyday has
new topics. that's the only good part, but there's
bad parts too. and make me want to roar.
ROOOAAARRR. -.- okay, no link.

sometimes, these conversations are kind of
no point. but we still engage in them, for
no reason. lol.

okay why am i typing this? because
i have nothing better to do. sighhhh,
i wonder how's training and everything
back there. i hope cadets have been
rather guai, and not giving the ncos and
alvin sir any extra trouble. =DD joking la,
i think they're much better than that. hah,
i need entertainment now!!

nvm, i'll talk to siling and khee rui sir. =))

alright, serious case of nostalgia. i'm not trying to be like ahem ahem sir,
but i seriously miss rcyc. gosh, okay currently i ain't in singapore. but
i miss the mornings where we would be half awake, forced to wake up
else we would be late. oh my gosh, i miss it all, i miss the camp!

to lead and serve with pride

alrighty, RED CROSS YOUTH CHALLENGE camp.
definitely to challenge ourselves to achieve. i guess
it was some sorta reliving OBS days. same kinda
stuff, all aiming towards the goal of getting a lanyard.
but during these 4d3n, it wasn't just to get the lanyard.
okay, maybe half of the effort went into trying to get the
lanyard, but the other half was to put in the best, so that
all of us would enjoy this camp to the fullest. this camp
would probably be the last HQ camp that we sec 3s would
be attending, next yr is O lvls alr.

apart from all the muscle aches and backaches and
leg strains, i gained friends. friends like them, thank you
so much for being there with me, for gg through the
embarrassing moments with me as well. xDD you guys
are the true leaders, you guys really cared & you guys
LEAD & SERVE with PRIDE!

anyway, the camp goes like this. there are 8 stations,
namely dragonboat, archery, first aid/evac, general station,
mountain biking, street soccer, rock climbing/abseiling &
challenge rope course. complete 6 out of 8 stations, go through
campfire, pass national heritage trail & you get your lanyard.

dragonboat was fun, esp capsizing, even though we all heard
abt 5 singaporeans who died during the cambodia race.
disaster preparedness was great as well, and its kinda hilarious
to see everyone so chaotic. oh and my first aid has gone all rusty,
i need to refresh my memory already. haha i also have to apologise
to one ma'am, cause i took out both her shoe lace to immobilize her legs
together. aye, its just damn unforgettable. =))
& archery was a disaster, being a left hander, i got left hander treatment.
haha, basically i just used the left hander bow la, haha chee yong sir
was very nice. =)) taught me how to shoot properly. but i still didn't pass.
moutain biking was damn cool. rode at pulau ubin, very super rocky.
steep & mountainous area. had to get down and push the bike a few times.
it was very energy draining. lixuan ma'am was kind enough to keep checking
on our welfare. mas ma'am looked very cute on her bike, i think its too short
for her.
street soccer, was quite alright, just normal. all in bravo were sorta
inexperienced. we all don't play soccer. =x
rock climbling/abseiling & rope challenge course was just normal,
except for that embarrassing thing. heh, secret. =)

and CAMPFIRE!! its was just simply the best!
all thanks to lawrence sir, it was very successful!
even though it rained and we had to move into
the tiny n visibly dirty canteen. everyone was uncomfortable
with the squeezy place and sandy ground. eew. but the
performance n cheers made us HIGH!
BRAVO was great, lilo n stitch rocks!
oh and, ULs performance wasn't bad either. it just bonded
us ULs as one. heh, i guess to the audience we were just
singing a boring song, but to ULs, it was more than a song,
it was something not to be forgotten.

and the last night, shaf, siling n myself were asked to
collect all the dockets. n we sorta got scolded by wenfang
ma'am, cause it was late n they haven't bathe(we also haven't)
so they hurried us, but again, its unforgettable.
after finishing our tasks of collecting everyone's dockets,
the 3 of us, stood under 1 bunk, n just felt the breeze. aww
man, its just like bathing in the wind. we wrote words
in the sand, n for a few moments, just stood there to
reminisce the past few days together. haha, n it was funny
to see how every sir that walked past us, asked us why we
were still there. they would ask the standard qns, n we
would answer the standard answer.

after getting our fair share of the wind, we returned to
the ULs bunk. where we slept without bathing, like eew
right. but we woke up at 4 to bathe ma, same thing. just
that its a few hours later. it was freezing cold just to stand
there, what more bathing in the COLD water.

so being the last day at camp, we did area cleaning.
shortage of brooms, and mops. after that was done,
we returned to hq to prepare for heritage trail.
it seemed quite fun, with all the stuff to collect
n all the checkpoints to conplete. but the rain
ruined it all. we were stuck at the 2nd station, with
nicholas sir and xiao yuan ma'am. it was kinda sad
coz rain made us emo. haha. jkjk, we it was time well spent.
the whole section 1 n 2. awww. after the rain gradually
lessened, we returned to hq. had prize presentation
and it was emo time. time to say gdbye. so sad.
BRAVO won lanyard for its flag. its damn cool la,
n shaf and me were elated, cause we didn't disappoint
our mentors. then lanyard receipients' names
were mentioned. those who received, beamed with joy.
those who didn't, sobbed in sorrow. its sad, and not
only not receiving lanyard, u have to leave the new found
friends u've just made.

so hey BRAVO,
i won't forget all of you, neither will i forget the cheers
we had, and all the times we bathed in the OPEN
CONCEPT shower just like that, and all the times we ate
together, slept together, worked together and played
together. i miss it all.

one day we will meet again! till then, take care okay,
all of you!

had annual camp.
its was great. hehe. (:

oh and i want to
thank NCC air. they
were superbly nice last night.
thank you sir izuan, no.4
kok kok, zh, ks, xiao shawn, alex
and a few others. thank you
ppl so much. i wasn't being emo,
just something happened. thanks
and thanks again!!

and our camp, performance & moral
was bad bad bad bad. really bad okay,
and is disappointing. but i guess the ncos
tried to make this camp fun.



cadet's first day was disappointing,
pitch tents then footdrills. and outdoor
cooking. wow, & my mood just dropped
n hit rock bottom, nahh don't ask why.
everyone keep asking me what happen,
nvm. then after lunch, spirits lifted. felt
much much better. OA lesson, it was
boring alright. everyone was sleepy.
boring day, but at night, hehe. its
'interesting' la.

night trail was abit cock up, cause it
wasn't scary at all. band was making
a hell lot of noise with their instruments
at any available space in the school.

then after the trail, sleep time. and guess
what, the ncos were happily using the
computers in com lab, haha. we're evil
but its tradition ain't it. =))

and the fun part came at 1-2 am,
unpitched the sec 2s tents for them.
we're NICE right. hahaha, evil!!
but the interview was very very
disappointing, plus the NCOs were
damn shagged already, cause we din sleep
but cadets slept for like 2++ hours.
yf still did the most scolding, cadets
were still like half asleep. don't know
what to do to make them wake up,
not wake up from their sleep during
the camp, but really wake up. sec 3 life
ain't gonna be easy.

day two was alright, CVSS came to our
school, our combined strength wow-ed
the AIR i guess, they must have thought
that rc all over singapore would nvr have
as many ppl as them. don't look down on
us alright, amkss rcy just have much lesser
cadets, that all, but we have quality. haha.

after CVSS left, had lunch and then evac
& first aid lesson. NCOs were tired alr,
we were practically sun tanning during the
CVSS activity.
cadets then unpitched tents & wash. and
played scavenger hunt that qh prepared.
and happy hour! the highest part of the
camp, for the cadets only la. did cheers and
played games. there was no campfire, so
did it in the heritage gallery.2nd night was nothing
much , NCOs slept in the RC room.

talked to szean, and no.4 before i slept,
found out that sir desmond lim had helped
alot to bring the unit up. it's like so cool,
if only we had someone like that. =)

anyway, 3rd day was taken by the
sec 2s. their games cocked-up a little
bit. i guess they now know how hard is
it to plan stuffs. but u guys efforts
are appreciated! and after area cleaning,
we finally had debrief, and then prize presentation
congratulations to all the award winners,
as well as the MOST BLUR CADET!!! =))
be more alert alright, don't let this mistake
happen again!

and after that, cadets left, while we had
meeting with the YOs. and slacked around
in school. had free lunch from BAND, they
needed ppl to finish the extra food, haha.
and finally at night, we attended the NCC
air's campfire. band made them cockup, so had to
move location. helped them move the benches and
tables. while the AIR sec 2s lit the candles and set
up the place. i see potential in some of them la!! haha
RC cadets, please learn!=))

the campfire was definitely loooooong,
much longer than i expected. many of their
seniors returned, it was quite a big-scale
event, they had to make sure there was no cock
up, as their seniors were all here. for us, we
can't make sure that wouldn't happen, as first,
our unit is so small. sigh, i'm definitely waiting
for the day our unit would grow.

then after campfire was over, AIR had their
BBQ, all i can say was that black smoke filled the air.
and the AIR ppl was suddenly so nice. all offer me
food. but i 'kindly' rejected. thanks so much anyway.

daddy fetched me home at abt 12 plus. cause i was
too lazy to carry all my stuff home at that holy hour.
and besides no transport ah.=)

went home, bathed and ate. then felt so shagged,
2 nights without proper rest, so just totally slept in
till the next morning, or rather afternoon. i woke up at 11+
super PIG right.

alright that's all for annual camp. the next post would be RCYC.
that's a damn long post. hah. sec 2s, please really wake up! =)

tmr's evac silver!! i'm nervous!! abcdefg!!
what if i fail arh, choi!! haha, can't let alvin
sir down, he's been such a great help to us!!
thank you sir!! =DD

oh oh oh, and played basketball after training
today, the sky was like dark already. sam, yf,
edna and me. sam and yf lay on the tables in the
bball court. while edna and me played bball, so
childish la!! haha, running around the whole court!
and saw NPCC digging sand for their CANfire!! haha
its cute la. =))

found that the feeling of just staring into the night
sky with the moon present, is such a great feeling.
camp is in TWO days!! i can't wait!! haha, because, aiya
u should know why. hehehe oh my, its OUR camp!!
its once in forever. i'm so excited alright!! haha,

i want to sleep somewhere where i can see the sky!!
but should be no time to sleep la, hehe. good luck,
to all those going for camp, esp to the sec 2s!!

AMKSS NDP 2007 part 7

omg, cadets!! if u all keep up ur drills standard like this, it'd be PERFECT!! =DD keep up the good work.

i haven't been blogging for ages. cause everyday's packed like its not holiday.



2/2 outing at SENTOSA today. few people turned up.

did alot of stuff today, kayaking, luge, skyride. rollerblading.

finally one day of relaxation in our packed schedule.



the breeze and salty sea water, its nice. but Singapore has

lousy sand. come on, compare it to Gold coast, its far far far

worse!! and the water is like polluted cause cargo ships keep passing

by. chemical spills , eew.



tried to relive OBS days by renting the kayak. kayak-ed with sam,

but it was bad, not as good as OBS, i don't know why. tried to capsize,

but ended up i'm the only one in the water, cause sam don't dare

to capsize. omg, i miss TOCK SENG. =))



then did rollerblading with edna, while the rest rented bicycles.

we brought our own skates, so no need to pay, but the price to pay

was having to carry the stupid pair of skates everywhere u go, its

damn heavy la. oh and edna is damn hilarious on her skates, she'll

just scream when she feels like falling, and just fall. then we'll all laugh.

how retarded is that! xDD



then set the skyride, gosh the scenery is nice!! and yf keep repeating

that sentosa is so ROMANTIC!! ZI XIANG should know what to do.

u know what u guys did in INDIA!! =DD



they had cameras installed at parts of the skyride and luge. so our photos

were taken, but 1 copy cost $10. like abcdefg la. its worse than my $2 per

3R photo con.



today was just great. 2/2o'6 is still the best la.
okay and back to the busy schedule again.
