Physics and Social Studies papers today.... Physics was pretty ok I guess.... Doable.... Had like 20 minutes or so to spare and I was like wondering whether I had left any questions blank.... Past few Physics papers all cannot finish on time..... Checked like 4-5 times... Lol.... last question on pressure I was such an idiot to get the formulas of Density and Pressure mixed up.... As a result my formula for pressure ended up as mass/area..... -.- Everything correct, I think, butI'll get penalised for the stupid formula..... Damn.... Wasted.... After that Social Studies..... Had a mental block during that time and could hardly write.... Felt quite sleepy too considering that I ate quite little during the break..... Finished my last word when Mr Danny Tan said stop writing..... Lol..... I think I left out something in the conclusion..... Sian....

After the papers settled the Sec 3 camp choices then went to eat lunch then went to Bishan library to study with Xing Yu and Leonard.... Met John, Edmund and a whole bunch others there. Saw Yi Bin mugging with his church friends.... Lol..... Nothing sarcastic or whatever here, so don't get me wrong...... Anway, we couldn't find a place and we searched for damn long.... Settled with John for a while..... Lol, saw this damn funny lady who wanted to take the lift up and she pressed the down button. Only realised her mistake when the lift came then she went to press the down button again... -.- She ended up taking the stairs.... Lol...... The four of us were like laughing like crazy..... XD

After that we decided to move then we searched for a long time again for a place but nearly ever corner was like taken..... Ended up shifting like two more times.... When we finally settled down, we studied a bit then we ended up talking and playing a bit..... Library was damn full today sia..... Saw some people moving out of their cubicle then want to take then tio kope by others..... Quite tired for some reason..... Then at about 4+ we went to Mos Burger to eat. Quite expensive..... Then we went to buy cheese fries at kfc and went to 77th street to look at the wallets.... Roughly know what I want liao.... =D I'll probably go get it soon.... Lol..... After that Leonard left then Xing Yu and I went back to the library to study again..... Studied a bit then felt very tired, for both of us, then we slacked off a bit....

Then at about 620pm, this guy came to tell us not to put our legs against the wall. Then he asked us something like what was the english translation for what was probably kidneys or liver.... Dunno..... We thought after enquiring then he would go off then he sat down and talked to us.... -.- He talked about something like how expensive it is to buy body organs and dunno what and told us something like his life story.... -.- He kept repeating some of his points... Lol.... Then he kind of kept "showing off" that he was what very handsome when he was young and how good he was.... Lol.... It was damn weird for some stranger to just walk up to you and start a conersation on dunno what.... Well, being the guy who gives respect to most people, =P I just listened to him rattle on.... Xing Yu also had to listen then some parts he tried to show the guy we were not interested by sleeping.... Lol.... I'm not the type who resorts to this sort of things... Lol... I'm nice... XD After stoning for like 1 hour listening to him, I made an excuse saying thet we had to go. Then we zao from the library for a while then we went back... Lol..... Xing Yu was like cursing the guy like crazy.... Damn funny

When we went back had no mood to study, so we read comics and took pictures.... Lol.... After that at about 7:55pm we left. Then Miss Tan, who was in Miss Chow's car, called out to Xing Yu when we were at the road near the interchange.... Lol, must be wondering why we were still out at that time.... Haha.... Overall, studying today wasn't very effective but it was still fun..... Lol.... Here's some of the pics that we took.....

Xing Yu sleeping.... Lol...

Spastic people...... XD

Another picture of spastic people..... I look damn retarded.... -.-

Supposed picture of attitude.... Lol.... Xing Yu is smiling though..... XD

The comics we were reading....... Lol...

Xing Yu mugging...... comics!!!! XD

Additional pics here, from Wednesday B Division basketball finals...... The one where SOME people were no where to be found......

During the match....

Supporters from our school......

Ok, that's about all....... Still damn lazy to upload the rest of the NPDP pics....... Ok, fine. THIS WEEKEND...... I'll try to send to you guys (CHS NPDP guys) during the weekend too, while you guys are PLAYING while I and a number of others are still STUDYING for Lit..... Oh boy..... Haha, see you.... =D

Spent the last two days mugging physics like crazy.... Hardly touched Social Studies..... Damn it lah...... I'm getting a headache.....

Tomorrow is Physics and Social Studies exam...... I really hope for the best...... Really feel like just dying..... -.- Hope I survive tomorrow.... Then after that can go study with Xing Yu again.... =D

Oh, Happy early birthday to Shaoming senior...... Though I seriously doubts he reads this...... Scared I will not be alive to wish him happy birthday..... Lol.....

All the best guys, Good Luck!!! You'll need it, and I MEAN you need it, we all do......

Ok, won't go on much.... Thursday start of mid-year exams.... No, wait, Mid-term Mastery Review. Ok, anyway, first time having exams in the hall, not bad lah. English paper was pretty much ok I think. Paper 1 my compo has a very spastic storyline.... Comprehension was quite hard to understand for some parts.... Hope it's ok.

Chinese today, had the exam in the classroom cause I'm taking normal Chinese (YES, I'm a noob). Pretty ok I guess. Wrote gong han and question 3 for the zuo wen..... Hope it's ok.... Paper 2 the second passage quite confusing, then there was 1 question where we had to copy almost the whole paragraph..... Hope it's the correct answer....

After that I was playing with the hamsters in the classroom then the higher chinese people told me that the NP guys had something. So I washed my hands and rushed down..... The thing they were discussing about had nothing to do with the NPDP people, but we are a squad, so we must do things together. Have to return first-u by 9th May..... Sian.... I'm going to miss it.... =(

Then went for lunch with Wei Jie and Kah Hoe. Later tio pang seh by the 2 of them.... -.- Xing Yu is right.... It's a very bad feeling to be pang seh-ed by people......

After that went to Bishan library with Xing Yu to study. Much better than the last "Bishan Library study group" that I went to with John Lau, Leonard and gang. Just the two of us was pretty condusive, any quieries we just asked each other...... At first damn hard to find a free cubicle..... Then at last we found one at the seond level. So went to mug there. After that I went to buy sweets so we could stay awake..... Also read comics for a while..... XD It was damn fun studying with Xing Yu.... No fooling around, can concentrate..... Thanks pal! =D Hope we can do that again!

Going to really mug for the next few days....... Oh yah, forgot to mention, Wednesday Cat High won their B division basketball title again, beating Gan Eng Seng 61-50. Nice job!

The remaining NPDP pics I think I have to upload only after exams..... The rest of the NPDP guys I'll send them to you after mid-years I guess.....

Also, helping Brian advertise here, those who want to watch the sparring video by St John's can visit Brian by my links.... Lol.....

See you soon.... =D

Oh yah, Happy Birthday to John Lau the freakin sadist =D

Yo guys! Yesterday was the 48th NPCC Annual Parade!!!!

Reached school at about 11:45am then stoned around. Watched the modern dance do their routine. Not bad.... Must have taken loads of preparations. After that changed with the rest then went to G.O. Yi Bin was late... -.- Went to HTA, then changed for practice. The rest went to draw arms liao. Marched to the drill shed then we ate our sandwiches there. The rest went to draw arms liao then we just took it from them. Did practices for the rifle drills together as a whole GOH. Then there was supposed to be some practice. Then the supporting contingents formed up already.... Then there was lightning warining... -.- Then everyone went into the drill shed and practiced there. Was feeling damn sian by then..... We worked so hard then it just rained? Then everything would just go to waste. After that was the break and we went into the mess hall for some break. Then it started raining..... Felt super sian..... Then we thought that it ws better for it to rain heavily then and then stop and let the area dry. So we were like thinking there was still hope. Lol, saw some of the huge signs positioned at the back get blown down by the winds. By the time break was over, the rain had lightened to a drizzle. Was feeling very hopeful. Quickly went back to our auditorium and changed. Before that, accompanied Terence to the store to borrow the collar lapels(correct spelling?). We went back then saw everyone changed then we chionged like crazy, with help from Ken. Thanks bud! After "inspection" then went back in and had some pep talks. After that, we went behind the building and marched one round behind the buildings to the drill shed. Cannot be seen by the spectators mah.....

At the drill shed, had some final preparations. By then, the sun was already out and we were like damn happy like anything.... =D Finished everything then got ready.... Lol, my mum came and took some pre parade pics....

Then, the time came!!! Supporting contingents marched out then it was our turn!!!! When marching out, it was like damn nice!!!! Together in beat with the music with everyone watching!!!! When we faced the front it was a damn nice sight.... Whole Grandstand was filled with spectators. (Cadets supporting the parade were by the sides) Feeling then was something that I can't describe here..... It's like nervousness, an honoured feeling and elation and a jumble of other emotions all together..... Did the best we could.... Parade went pretty smoothly I guess..... Perhaps only problem was that the Parade Commander's mike did not work sometimes..... Lol.... Other than that, everything was good. Then the march pass, and then it was all over...... Everything that we worked for for the past 2 months or so paid off in those grand 35 minutes or so....... We marched back to the armourery to return arms. Savoured the last moments with the M-16 and bayonets.... Lol...... After that had debrief then we went back to the drill shed before going to Harmony Hall. Took photos there. Ate food. The rest accidentally took food from the table meant for the VIPs.... Lols, damn funny..... Mr Goh told us to help ourselves then the rest took food from the wrong table..... Haha.... I didn't eat much, was more of thirsty than hungry...... Oh, yah. Found out that the Deputy Chairman of NPCC or something like that is my Dad's ex-classmate!! Cool huh?

Oh yah, heard from my Dad that the post parade segment, especially the line dance screwed up.... Lol.....

After that, all of us marched back to the auditorium as a GOH. Felt very ecstatic. =D Changed in the auditorium then we had rush out cause our bus apparerently had been waiting for us since 6:30.... -.- Can't the driver like wait and not ruin the mood or not? Same for the teacher officer.... As a result cannot take photos of our GOH commanders.... :( Rushed onto the bus. Realised that Jason and Wei Rong were not there yet. Then I went to find them..... Brought them to the bus then the bloody teacher officer used her sarcastic tone and said "Oh great, thanks you..." Jun Wei told me not to think too much, but you can her her sarcasm..... -.- Slightly pissed then. Then on the bus we kept playing with photos.... Lol..... Went back to school then realised that the gate was locked.... So how? The teacher officer told us to go to J8 toilet to change..... -.- Then there was a mini argument..... Then wanted to ask Yi Bin for his opinion on something then he gave me that kind of crap attitude then I got really fed up..... Then there was the add on of the changing argument then I got damn freakin pissed..... Some people can really show attitude sia... Not me lah, someone else. I must have looke damn pissed cause the teacher officer was like looking at me and I think she was like thinking that I was pissed with her.... Lol, half correct. Bus driver dropped us at J8 then we quickly walked to the toilet and changed.... We were like breaking2 of the NPCC rules liao.... What to do? Teacher officer say one.... So dunno.
Then at the toilet we apparently all changed at once then we clogged up the toilet and some supervisor came to tell us off. We explained ourselves then I think the guy let us off, hopefully. Pretty stupid come to think of it.... Guess we were so desperate as to not be seen by many in uniform. Well, anyway, there goes our Area photo.... Not even informal one..... I guess we'll all meet some day..... Hopefully. The Sec 3s is for sure... LMSC coming up =D

After that, went to the food court to eat with the rest except LTY and Yong Jie cause the two of them went home first. Got some corner then we ate and talked crap...... Finished everything at about 10+pm and we went home. Hitched a ride in the taxi that Jun Wei and Wei Rong were taking..... Thanks guys! =D I'm ok with Yi Bin now.....

So the day was pretty much great. Just got really pissed off with some people. Other than that it was pretty great. About the part of the area photo, perhaps Rahim might want to organize some gathering for the Area 4 NPDP '07 gang..... Haha..... Hope to see you guys soon!!! =D

Most of all, though I'm not a firm believer, we must thank Him for blessing us with the weather for the parade and for everything else so that it went smoothly. Thank You!

I know I've said this many times. However, once again, I'll say this. I'm REALLY going to miss these times. The times spent training with the rifles, with the GOH, the times on the bus when everyone just liked to talk crap, the friends we met again and made, the times at the HTA and most of all, the parade itself. I'll miss you guys......

48th National Police Cadet Corps Annual Parade. Rock on. =D


PS: I'll probably post the pics the next time. Pretty late now.... Gotta go. See ya. XD
Also, all the best to Jay-Jay sir and Li Quan sir in their future endeavours. Hope to see guys again, same for the other officers =D

I think I know what to get for myself for my birthday liao.... Yay XD

Quite a number of things happened yesterday.... Went to school and saw the Sec 1s wearing all sorts of clothes. Later found out that they had some costume day thingy.... Then at assembly, saw two Sec 1s wearing our NPCC uniform... -.- They were wearing their full-u, boots and all, and they were without their beret -.- They went to SIT down on the plaza floor somemore.... WTF!!! So, they, plus some land guys and some St John's guy who wore their u to school also. One of the land guys wore school shoes with his uniform -.- Then the St John's guy even better, wear the top part of his u with some other pants -.- Then all the respective CCAs people went to talk to them. Then Mr Teo asked us to talk to the NP guys. So we did that, we found out that they came to school in their u.... -.- If they were going to be punished, which they weren't, they would probably owe like 150 or more liao.... Haiz.... So we wasted the first period dealing with this stupid thing... And the 2 of them thought we were punishing them.... -.- Talking nicely to them also cannot.... Haiz.... Didn't even say that they'll get pumped lor.... So whole of first period was burned... Luckily Mr Talib didn't come.... Rest of the day was nothing much, just that it was pretty hot. Had Bio remedial then went to have lunch and watched the St John's and NCC Air POP. Lewis is the chairman of St Johns...... Sian, gonna be difficult to communicate with them..... Watched both parades with Ken, who was waiting for Qing Chang..... Lol.... Waited until 7+... Haha. Played a bit of basketball then went home.....

In a few hours time, it's the 48th NPCC Annual Parade!!!! Wooohoo!!! Whatever we've worked for for the past few months all boils down to this.... I pray that there will be good weather and everything will go smoothly.... Wish us luck! =D

Ok, Tuesday was nothing much, except that everyone seriously felt lethargic like crazy.... Long day...... Stupid thing was that during the 3:00pm to 3:50pm lesson, which was English, we had a comprehension practice. Then later at Blackbox we did comprehension again.... -.-

Today had 5 stations for NAPFA during PE. So far A for everything.... =D Just need a C for 2.4km and I can get Gold liao...... Yay..... Wah, I like Charlton's sit-ups score man..... He did like 63 sit-ups in 1 minute..... He pia 60 all at once..... Damn zai man..... 0.o Nice one pal....... 2.4km next week, damn sian.....

After Chemistry SPA had left for "lunch" then we went to change for NPDP liao..... Usual practice, except that we practised with the bayonets as well.... The band was there too.... Lol, during the practice, Si Ming sir was acting as the Guest of Honour then during the parade inspection he asked me "Training hiong or not?" Lol..... Damn funny..... My answer was no lah.... =D He asked me probably one of the wierdest questions that I expected to be asked... Luckily the actual day the person won't ask this.... Haha.... Still feeling quite amused about it..... After training went to return arms then went back to the grandstand. After that fell in to prepare to march off, then Si Ming sir came and gave us a few last pointers for the parade.... I think that's what he did.... When marching out I sort of used my voice to shout the timing..... Now my throat is pretty sore..... Sianz.....

Yay, actual day after the parade we're going to take pictures as a unit..... I also really hope that the weather would just be like what was in the afternoon, sunny but not hot..... Wanted to suggest that we took pics as an area after the whole thing and go back to Cat High to do so..... However, quite a number of people, especially my squadmates thought it was crap.... -.- Dunno lah, I really want to remember all these times..... Any one supports this? Anyway, come to think of it, there are quite a number of pretty decent people in Area 4. My impression of it was changed form last year's judgement after ATC..... Then again, it's only like a small portion of their squads/units thatwe are seeing, so can't really judge....


After all this, I'll miss the trainings, I'll miss the times that we went to the HTA, I'll miss the times training with the M-16, I'll miss the crapping sessions on the bus with Area 4 people, I'll miss some of the friends that I made and the ones that I met again after events like ATC and all that. Most of all, I'll miss being part of the event, being able to go to HTA so often and the privileage to march out with such honour...... I really want to remember these times..... Times that we would not be able to revisit again......

The NPDP guys got our new uniform liao.... Yay, can wear new beret and boots liao..... =D

Mid-years next week, piled with a whole lot of crap till that I can't revise..... I need my sleep too!!!!! Gaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!

Lit test tomorrow, so damn screwed........

Some people were very disappointing today......

3 MORE DAYS TO NPCC ANNUAL PARADE 2007!!!

Ok, before I start anything, Happy 15th Birthday to Elizabeth and Leonard!!!! =D

Ok..... Last Friday was our PNCO, as well as Friday the 13th..... Well.... I'm not superstitious, but it really seemed like the notorious day really lived up to it's name.... Lol.... In the morning, Boon Siang's phone was apparrently stolen right under everyone's noses..... So, Mr Teo had to be called, along with Mr Thomas, Mr Quay and Miss Tan..... So we missed assembly, missed the first period, which was humanities, and a thorough search was conducted of everyone's bags..... Lockers were checked and the whole classroom was checked..... Too bad nothing was found..... Then Christopher and Guang Wen were called to our class to check their bags..... Apparrently, Christopher was very unhappy...... Well, as much as I'm your friend, I just want to tell you that those were standard procedures after a theft case, everyone was a suspect until proven innocent..... Unless you wish to remain a suspect then you can just say you don't want to be checked..... I'm just saying this as a friend....... Anyway, whole first period was burned then the day continued as usual.... Then there were a number of other things which happened but I can't really remember........

After school, I went to the auditorium to retake my Chemistry class test, or rather, MASTERY REVIEW......... For NP guys, Jun Wei, Kian Boon and I went to take it.... The rest were taking it today I think..... Test was pretty much the same as the previous one, just that this time I focused more on studying the bonding part...... While doing the test, could hear Terence and Jason taking the Sec 2s for UI ourside..... Lol...... After the test we went to change, not before KB went to the store to borrow a beret..... Tsk...... By the time we finished changing, opening parade was already over and as the Sec 2's first period was campcraft, I had to change back again..... -.- Anyway, changed then Sec 2s were brought outside the auditorium.... We were supposed to do tent pitching but it rained, so we did advanced knots.....

We taught the Sec 2s Artillery Loop and Fireman's chair..... Was a bit screwed up I guess..... All of us were pretty nervous I guess..... No idea what to say next....... Lol..... Time was damn scarce cause we started late..... We sort of finished teaching the campcraft..... Most of them seem to know how to tie artillery loop, some know fireman's chair..... So I guess it was pretty ok.....? Then we changed into full-u and had drill session..... Took the batons from the store and taught the Sec 2s the basics..... Then taught them saluting with the baton........ Saw Charlton with the St John's doing drills as well...... Lol..... Went around correcting them...... Went through the drills a few more times.....

Well..... I know I have no right to do this, so if anyone feels offended then I sincerely apologize..... So well, here's my feedback for the Sec 2s, they were quite ok..... Perhaps the training was quite slack for them cause there was no pumping, though they owed quite a lot..... Wanted to settle everything in PT..... In drills, I guess we can probably see that some of them are not putting in enough effort? Pretty obvious for some of them..... Then also, the Sec 2s probably need to get more timers in the squad, so if the timer cannot take it then anyone can take over..... I guess that's for my opinion..... Any Sec 2s reading this please give feedback on the training?

I guess my same old problem came back again..... I seemed to be the one doing most of the talking...... Sorry guys.....

Then, when were supposed to change for PT, we were informed that the whole unit had to go for some briefing.... So, PT was cancelled..... We ate into Jason's time somemore.... Sorry Jason..... The briefing was on some unit matters then about City Venture..... After that, we were lectured by our squad leaders..... Need to buck up a little..... After training, went with most of the squad to J8 but didn't eat.... Bought something from Macs then headed home.....

Saturday was NPDP training and City Venture.... Falled in at 7am then we could relax for a while on our own before we headed to HTA..... Apparrently, we were supposed to bring our No.1...... The message was supposedly passed down last minute..... However, Mr Goh didn't receive it, so we were like there with our half-u, not even in No.1 half-u......I was supposed to give some form to the HQ store for Mr Goh but it was closed so I gave it with my file to Daniel for safekeeping...... Thanks buddy..... Then the GOH members were apparrently given some badge to put on the No.1.... The badge was like damn cool..... Wanted bto bring it back and take a picture but we had return it...... :( We can't keep it either..... Sian....... For us, the badge remained in our pocket the whole time..... Lol.... Had a bit of warm-up then we went for a simulation of the parade..... They are using a NPCC band.... Cool...... Was damn fearful for my NPDP shirt the whole time..... Was damn scared that the guy beside me would rusok it into my shirt.... Lol..... The second person to be welcomed int the parade (pretend one lah, can't call the actual person to come during practice right) took damn long to come..... So we were, according to Terence's terms, stoning there for damn long for nothing. That practice round was pretty smooth until the National Anthem, the Parade Commander forgot to give the Rusok command and went straight to Hormat Senjata..... UG people would know what this means..... Other than that, quite ok.... Somebody dropped the rifle magazine on the parade square by the way.... Heard that one of the officers wasn't really happy with the GOH's performance..... After that, we had "cool down" drills then went to return arms..... Went back to the holding area for our contingent then we were dismissed...... Went to find the rest of Area 4 in one of the classrooms...... Got a bit pissed with some people cause of some miscommunication...... Bah, never mind.... Went to the HQ store only to find it closed AGAIN..... Then I realised it was closed on weekends.... -.- Went back to the classroom again.... Thanks for accompanying me XingYu.... =D After that Zaki sir came into the room and scolded everyone for something or another like playing with the batons and wearing some cap when he was not around..... He also screwed us (Cat High) for some posture thing..... Then he said what want to complain to our HO...... Haiz.... That's the bad part of him I guess......

Went back to Cat High then we changed then went straight to the Rifle Range to help out..... Jason, Jun Wei and Yong Jie went to buy lunch... Lol..... The schools came back from their "Veture" aorund Singapore and did the air rifle shooting..... Saw Jia Quan, and Jun Hao in the Zhong Hua team..... Haiz.... From those shooting, I sort of identified some pai kias from the other schools..... Just see the way they are can tell already........ Got some pierce ear then put the stud there.... Is that allowed in NPCC for guys? I think even girlls also cannot..... Well.... I have no right carry on commenting on the other schools.....

Prize presentation and all that was held in the lecture theatre..... Zhong Hua got first..... Congrats guys..... =D Then followed by Rivervalley and Maris Stella I think.... Can't remember..... After that, the participants went off..... Then we had debrief..... Was damn tired during the debrief..... Almost felt like sleeping..... Lol.... However, still got some learning points for next year's CV..... After that, went to play soccer with Yong Cheng sir, Michael sir, Ben Tay sir and some Sec 2s.... Started raining soon after.....

Went to S11 for dinner after that with the rest..... Then went to buy bubble tea and took MRT with Ben and Leonard.....

Sunday nothing much, normal boring day.... Got my hair cut..... Damn short... Lol.... Also went out for dinner at some Hong Kong Cafe based restaurant somewhere at Thomson.... Quite good.... Some pics.....

Utensils holder......

After that went back home to collect my cousins bags to send them home...... They apparently have been sleeping pretty early the past few days..... 10+pm sleep already..... No wonder so healthy.... Lol..... Anyway, took a pic before they left......

Valarie, me, our Grandmother, Hilary

Lol, don't know why I'm like leaning to one side....

Today was nothing much..... Boring as usual...... Three periods continuously can seriously kill......

Now not feeling vey well..... Hope I can go to school tomorrow..... Don't plan to do any work and sleep early today......

5 Days to the 48th NPCC Annual Parade!!!!!

I'll really miss the times spent there..... I pray that that day will be a day with wonderful weather and everyone will be able to participate and the parade will be able to run smoothly.....

Hey guys, Wednesday we had this personality course from 7:40 to 10:40. It was a test of one's personality. So after morning assembly we went back to class and started the course. Our instructor was Coach Carrie. We actally like waited for some time cause quite a number of people were missing, people like the prefects and the catholic society guys..... So we were sort of delayed a bit but still managed to start. She started off with some game where we had to like grab the other guy's finger while trying to "rescue" our own from another guy's with a few actions before that. I was a but sian cause I was quite tired so I probably gave that sian look and did the actions quite sloppily..... Then she picked some people out for some forfeit. They were Daryl and Choong Lee. They had to do something like their "cutest smile" or something like that. Here's the pics....

Daryl..... Very nice shot..... Haha..... (Daryl is so going to kill me for this.... XP)

Haha, Choong Lee's turn....

Lol, turned out that they were displaying some of their spastic smiles or whatever you want to call them..... Haha. At least they were good sports..... After that we continued with this personality survey..... Lol, when I was doing the survey, I was sort of drifting off to sleep.... So there were periods of time where I was just holding the pen in my hand with my eyes closed..... Lol.... Managed to finish it though.... So we drew whatever graphs we had and it showed our personality.... I'm a C/S with a high C. Haha, my first graph was like a horizontal line then diagonally upwards. My second and third graph were like ticks..... Haha..... Nike fan.... Muhaha.... Anyway, I'm supposedly in the Presicionist/Perfectionist/Traditional One category..... This means I'm supposedly one who exhibits a precise,detailed, stable nature. I'm a systematic thinker who tends to follow precedures in both personal and business life(?).I act in a highly tactful, diplomatic fashion and rarely antagonize their associates consciously, taking care to avoid conflict. Extremely conscientious, they painstakingly require accuracy in work and maintain standards. I like a protected and secure environment with set rules and regulations and dislike sudden changes. They like people but only prefer to have a few close friends (Not True!!!!) Exactness is of the essence to people like me and criticism (greatest fear) is equated with failure. Can be counted on to carry out tasks correctly. Want exact facts before making a decision and feel uneasy when forced to decide anything quickly. Predicitability and security are the greatest goals. More stable the environment, happier person is.......

Ok, just quoted that whole chunk from the book. Some are true whole some are not.... You decide..... =D After that went more into detail about personalities. Had quite a few bad points which were pretty true for me, can't remember them though..... Finished the coursethen went for chinese.... Lol, after the first batch for the course, practically everybody was discussing about what each of their personalities were..... Many people thought that I was a D person.... Lol.... Am I that bad? Ok, maybe.....

Assembly was some International Friendship Day item. I have no idea how to appreciate folk dances, so I just stoned there and watched the show. One part was some dessert making. Looking at the ingredients, I don't think I would like to eat it.... Main ingredients are 10 egg yolks, one tin of evaporated milk (or was it condensed?) and some brown sugar solution..... Ergh, sounded damn sweet..... Teachers were treated to the dessert and some fruit sald as well..... Assembly ended late, at about 2:40pm.....

After that was training. Jun Wei, Wei Rong and Clifton were our PNCOs (Probationary NCOs). Had PT, which was quite tiring, long time never go PT liao..... Then had drills..... Quite ok the three of them. Things to improve would probably be Jun Wei to shout clearer and louder, Wei Rong to keep the consistent volume of his shouting (PT talk very softly, drills shout command very loudly), Clifton maybe a bit louder too..... Other than that, just want to say quite a good job I guess....... Oh, and maybe Jun Wei coukd give a bit of stuff for the other two to do? I think there's nothing else..... I thought I saw Oriana at the Bishan market bus stop while I was there with Benjamin.....

Today was quite sian..... Nothing very special..... Got dismissed at 1:40 (first time for Thursdays!!!) cause Mr Thomas had something on..... =D Saw Kian Boon being asked to stand at the back of the class during their physics lesson... Lol.... Apparrently he was "looking sleepy".... Haha.....

I believe some of you would have heard what happened at 3-3.... Don't ask me what it is.... Anyway heard many versions of who was right and wrong.... I'm an outsider so I won't take sides..... Just hope you guys will go back and reflect on yourselves.....

My cousins are staying at my house currently cause their parents went oversea for some meeting.... So they are like staying until Sunday...... Tomorrow morning we'll have to like send them to St Nicholas, then Ai Tong THEN Cat High... Luckily Fridays we start at 7:45, if not I'm screwed.....

Retaking my Chemistry Mastery Review tomorrow..... Wish me luck =D I'll really need it to pull up my marks.....

Tomorrow is PNCO for me. Working with Jason, Kah Hoe and Terence. Kah Hoe and I would be late cause of curriculum..... Session is Campcraft, Baton drills and PT. We're taking the Sec 2s by the way.... Tong Yang, Louis, Yong Jie and Kian Boon are taking the Sec 3s. Really hope that tomorrow nothing will go wrong..... I really have to treasure tomorrow. It may just be the last time that I will ever take a squad.....

I sort of realised something today.... When I try to interact with people, I sort of get damn spastic sometimes and sort of spout crap and even "friendly suanning". Then I realised that this part of me is something peopel don't like, just like in Geography today..... In that case, isn't it just best to go become anti-social and then not get into any trouble at all? It's so much easier.... I guess I'll probably be a little anti for the coming days...... It'll probably be best to stop making myself irritating anymore..... Sorry....

Some of them seem to be daoing me..... Especially Him...... I just greet them and they sort of like dao me even though they saw me..... What did I do wrong? Perhaps I'm always too extra around them..... Perhaps I'm not what everybody thinks I am.... After all, they'll be the ones who will decide my future..... What to do? Perhaps stop being so enthu anymore may work I guess......

You made me realise how lonely I was in the world. Thanks for the enlightenment. It really woke me up.... No sarcasm here.... Really......

Happy belated birthday Manfred! (Yesterday)

Happy early birthday Jun Wei! (Tomorrow)(The one from band, not NP)

Hi, haven't been updating for a few days.....

Anyway, Saturday was supposedly the preview for NPDP. So all of us gathered at about 12:50pm all changed. Evertone was in full-u while we were in half-u. We couldn't wear our ceremonial pants there cause Si Ming sir didn't want us to....... We reached there then we were seperated from the rest and went to the auditorium that was the GOH Boys' holding room. Attendance was taken then we claimed our NPDP shirt..... =D That's two of these kind of shirts..... XD Anyway, we changed into half-u with the NPDP shirt and ceremonial pants. We took longer than the others cause we had to change pants and our beret crest as well...... Then Jun Wei's belt buckle buckle broke, so Ken and I accompanied him to the store where he got a new belt while the rest went to draw arms.... After that we marched from the pathway all the way to somewhere near the drill shed. Then it started raining....... Band not there somemore..... Anyway, took arms from the rest and we practised our rifle drills. Position got changed.... No longer infront..... :( Luckily everyone will be inspected.... XD I'm quite near the SI that I sort of made friends with..... Victoria one..... Too bad not standing next to him after jadigan dua barisan..... Nice guy..... Anyway, after that everyone went to the mess hall for the break...... Quite good..... After that, everyone went to change into No. 1.... Something funny happened.... While the sirs were checking our uniform, Zaki sir asked one of the CIs to go and check if the girls had finished changing. He also asked the CI to be careful cause he said what they were changing with the door open..... (Don't think sick guys.....) Lols, then we were like trying to hide our laughter then apparrently Tong Yang was like smiling till it became damn obvious then Zaki sir went to him and went like "Why? You want to see is it? No taste" HAHAHAHA!!!! XD XD XD Damn funny and we were like shaking like siao trying to control our laughter...... In a way perfect description for him.... No Taste!!!!! Hahaha..... Ok that was entertaining.....

Anyway, it continued raining for the whole afternoon..... -.- SO we practised for the wet weather program, which was held in the harmony hall and it was DAMN BORING..... I really hope that it won't rain on that day..... Please...... After that went to return arms and change.... Took some stuff home too.....

Waited for quite a while before the rest came.... Took the bus and went back to Cat High..... Got some of the Area 4 people's number..... So anything need to ask can contact them..... Especially those NCOs to be.....

Although some of us are complaining a bit about NPDP, I think all of us would miss these times terribly once the parade is over..... We're going to miss the atmosphere of the training, the training with rifles, some of the CIs, the feeling to be in the parade, contingent friends, area 4 friends etc..... It's two more trainings before the actual parade liao......

Went to KFC for dinner after that then went home....

Sunday nothing much....

Monday..... Nothing much.... Boring day as usual.....

Today.... Another boring day..... Had lunch with squadmates at Primary school canteen before going for lesson at 3pm..... Got a bit pissed after English lesson.....

Went to Blackbox early!!! First time in a long time.... I'm usually late or on the dot..... Lols...

Tomorrow there's some career guidance course.... Sian... missing the good periods for Wednesdays.... Carpe Diam and PE...... PNCO for some tomorrow as well..... Good luck guys..... Mine's on Friday, with Kah Hoe, Terence and Jason......

All the best to Timothy in PB =D We guys in CMC will miss you =D

I kind of realised something..... I'm not insulting you guys or something..... Ever since Land took over and Air got their posts..... I seem to feel there is some tension between many of them.... This guy bu shuang with this guy for getting this post etc, then some people trying to act big...... I guess what Troy sir told us was really true.... There are bound to be conflicts between squadmates once POP comes and our posts are announced..... From what I have seen and heard, I really hope that we can keep the tension that we have as small as possible..... We are 29th Batch and we will bond as the 29th Batch......

I think juniors also have squad problems too......

Feeling a little emo again..... Yet, I feel a little angry with some people for dunno what reason.... Dunno why.....

Sometimes when I look at back at those times, I feel pain and feel like crying cause I know those times cannot be brought back and would just remain as memories forever......

Hey, guys. Haven't updated for quite some time. Anyway, first things first. Happy Good Friday people!!!

Also, I know this is damn late, but congratulations to the Chinese Orchestra for achieving Gold With Honours for SYF!!! Congrats guys! You deserve it.... All the best to the rest of the aesthetic groups going for the SYF too! :D

Ok, so this week had quite a few events. Monday there was some event held at our school for the principals. So we had to do marshalling. Plenty of principals came. The event was held at the Primary School Hall.... So there were a few of us who were doing the main ushering duty. So at about 2+ there loads of people coming in. There was some other meeting at 2 so there were two places involved.... I did manage to see Mr. Ng Keng Song, ATS's principal. :P So after that we could rest from 3+ till 5+. Mr Goh and Miss Tan, or rather Mrs Chew, treated all of us to drinks. Thanks!!! :D The rest went for training while we waited outside the General Office for the event to end.... We had some food from dunno where and we ate it there and then... Lols.... Then there was this box of noodles and we were like pestering Ken to stop playing with his fork and help to eat, which he refused.... Lol... Then we walked around practising some drills. Sec 2s were at the plaza doing drills. I must say Jia Han sir has really taught his squad quite well....He's taugh them drills that we had only learned under our Sec 3 squad leaders.... Perhaps the only thing that they need is the perfection I guess.... Then Ken and Jun Wei started playing this game where they tried to make each other laugh... Lolss. Quite fun and damn lame.... Haha.... Then the last round took like damn long before one of the gave in.... Lols... When the event had ended, we went to help clear the hall, then there were many boxes of food left behind and we gave it to the unit.... Lols.. Then we went to join our squad..... Wee Siong sir had taught them MOI and some new drills... Can't totally get the drill yet though.... After we were released and some went to play basketball. At the grandstand we could hear the CO members cheering like mad for their achievement.... Haha...

On Monday I also found out that I was the lowest in class for the chem mastery review.... 10/30...... How can a Class Chairman be the bottom of his class? ............

Anyway on Tuesday, went to take measurements for our new uniform.... Yay, finally can change the uniform liao...... Went to Blackbox on time surprisingly.......

Wednesday nothing much.... Except that I went to ask Mr. Thomas whether I could quit as the C.C. There are two reasons why I wanted to quit. I only told him one, cause I was sort of on the verge of tears... Lolss... Imagine that... Anyway, one reason is that I feel that I'm doing a lousy job cause some things like class deco was done crappily..... The other reason is that a Class Chairman cannot be the bottom of his class in results.... I mean take Chem class test for example..... 10/30?! It's like the lowest in class and probably the level...... I didn't mention this one to him.... Anyway, thank you Mr Thomas for the kind words.... So for now, I'll stay on...... Good or bad? Perhaps good for some and bad for some, like some of my classmates perhaps.....

Many disputes and arguments, still friends :D I look really stupid.... Smile's a bit unnatural?

Me and Eugene.

Love this pic XD Perfect.........

Lols............

Thursday there was some make-up training for NPDP..... Guangyang and Pierce didn't go cause they had sports day or something..... Went there and everybody was like sian sian one..... We were also damn sian..... Many schools didn't come and the whole position thingy was screwed.... Then there was once where I rusoked into Terence's shirt for the second time and Ru Jie sir came and scolded me "You wake up already?!" -.- We are like so damn close after the dressing...... Finished the training then went to KFC for dinner.... Damn suay.... I spilled my drink partially over me and like 3/4 of my drink was gone..... -.- Some of it spilled onto Terence's cover..... Sorry pal......

Today nothing much..... Went out to eat with my family just now...... I was reading some magazine there then I came across some quotes that I found quite meaningful......

"Leadership is about creating an environment where they enjoy being part of creating something extraordinary"

"You cannot achieve excellence by management, only by leadership"

-Horst Schulze

Tomorrow is the preview for NPDP. Can play with bayonet again.... XD We can also finally officially wear our No. 1 uniform.... Yay.... Speaking of that....

No. 1!!!!! :D

Me in No. 1!!! Ok, I look crappy as usual, but still nice right???? XD Lols......

Haha, ok, that's all for now.....

Watch what you say, for it can break important ties with the ones you treasure unknowingly....

By the way, my SIM card was defective.... So now I've lost all my contacts.... I'm in he midst of finding all my contacts..... Please sms me and say who you are so I can get your number again.... Except for those whom I've already asked...... Those who want my number go find out or email/msn me. Thanks guys!!! =D

By the way, Happy Birthday to Melvin and Yong Jie!!! =D

Ok, back again......... Last few days was nothing much. Wednesday NPDP training, Thursday Chemistry mastery review, Friday Physics mastery review and training..... Learned Buka and Tutop on the march....... Got our Civil Defence badge too.... Yay!! Finally..... Haha, I still remember the day of the course at the First Division..... The Instructor went like "Guys! Shut the **** UP!" just to shut us up after several failed attempts..... Lols.... Haha, 2 badges in 1 week without the muster parade.....

Yesterday was NPDP training again.... had to wake up at like 5:30 so as to fall in at 7 at school first. Or was it 6:55? Anyway, we were like late.......... Took the bus to HTA with the rest of the Area 4 people. It was supposedly a Full Dress Rehearsal, so everyone was in full u except us (GOH). We brought our No. 1 along and we couldn't fold it in the uniform cover, so we had ti hang it and it looked damn congested.... Haha, Someone said that it looked like laundry... Lols... Reached there, we were changing into No. 1 then some guy came in and said that Christopher sir said that we just had to wear half-u with the white shirt.... So all of us had to change back...... Then we brought our bags to the LT far away and it took damn long.... We were damn tired and lethargic even before the actual training......

Anyway, we finally went to draw arms and this time we took bayonets as well.... Lols... Practised a bit with it then we marched into the parade...... The band was there so it was quite nice.... Anyway, we went for two full parade practices, except that we skipped some parts......

On the second round, just before the march pass, the guy beside me rusoked the rifle into my shirt then then bayonet poked a hole in my shirt...... Lols..... New shirt leh..... Lucky it's just a plain white shirt.......... Haha....

We went back to school then we changed and went for lunch..... Lols... There was some damn funny incident on the way to J8..... So funny that I want to laugh.... It continued at KFC too..... Hahahahahahaha..... I won't mention it here.... Want to know, find me on msn......... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha ok, came home and slept from 7+ last night till 9+ this morning....... Lols

Tomorrow leaving class after recess....... We're doing marshalling for the principals and directors function thingy tomorrow....... Ken, YiBin and me are the Sec 3s chosen to usher the visitors to the place with sirs..... Hope we won't screw up.......

The Sec 3s of NCC Land have taken over liao.... Congrats on your posts guys..... Ours..... Still long time more....... Is it a good thing or bad thing I wonder...... To finally take over the unit? I dunno.......

Anyway, see ya again :D
