Back to school

Posted in

5:54 AM

While today post would be a short one, yeah tmr everyone is going back to school, however like always there people complaining of school reopening what is wrong with Singaporeans man. I heard that Malaysia only has 2 week and we still complain.
just bcus got 365 cases of H1N1 recently want one more week really lol. I just cannot understand haiz. After one more week if the situation worsens, we still have to go back to school, so in the end we still have to return right.

As for me I am so happy that school is reopening, holiday everyday not play then do homework, what a boring life, I rather go back to school to take up my keyholder post again and do something for the class. As a maths rep i enjoy doing the administration work for mrs Lee hahhas :D i just dunno why i love doing it so much.

Go back to school also got cons too, as i havnt do finish my homework yet so hahhas. :X Especially Chinese which is sure collect one arghharrrgh and everyone knows that if not turn in before a day which i dont know when will sure get detention one so i think my first priority for now is do finish Chinese.:( so sad.

While still I hope tomorrow everyone will still try and go back to school with a happy mood, As I always say Life is only several decades, we should live it to the fullest. I am so excited tomorrow can see all my friends again.

While that's all for today until next time. :D

First day

While that day i woke up early morning and reach outside NP room at 7. Had bagcheck, which was like very slack, HO Jeremy just asked us to open up and let him take a look can already. Next everyone sat there for an hour, as many of the sec 3s were not, i was like lol, we were told to fall in at 7 and sec 3s can come at a later time. at 8+ bah everyone board the bus, it was quite noisy at first as everyone was filled with energy and restless. But not long after, they just sat down and started to rest. The ride to Changi took around 30 mins or so. I got bored and decided to meditate, what is so funy about meditating, why must people come and disturb you. haiz but nevermind we are all friends. hahhas :D Took a 8 mins boatride to Pulau Ubin it was really very fun lor!!!! when we wanted to get down the boat was rocking roughly from side to side hahhas. Next we hike a 5km wake i think on the way we encourage each other and was a really fun wake, i wish it could have lasted longer.
So we reached the campsite wo hoo and started pitching. Was really frustrated with the twine it would snap if you pull very hard but if you dont it wil be quite lose. Next we went to help other school, i think it was Boon lay Sec. we got ready the inner sheet and was waiting for Chong wee to tie his tent-guy loop when this officer came and scold Zheng kang i was like LOL, cant he see that chong wee is tying, everyone was very @#%@#$ with him. Next was grouping and tentage groupings, following that was lunch. it was so troublesome if you wanted to wash something you had to run all the way up the stairs to the canteen and back again before you could cook your meal, what a bother.
After lunch was ice-breaking game and camp fam.Next was pioneering, my group made a kind of wardrobe with round lashing and square lashings. I did this as i remembered Adullah's deisgn last year and we were so close to winning but we lose. However who cares what matters most is the process am i right?1? :D Had dinner which was change to army rations, so COOL!!! hahhas :D all you need to do was just put the pack of food into hot water for a few mins and your ready to eat, actually they are called MRE or meal ready to eat. At night had a mock camp fire to get everyone familarise with the songs which JSS know most of them hahhas. Next we gathered at the grass and dunno do what already i forget lah just some stupid waste of time things. Before i went back to tentage, a CI ask whose bottle so i went to take it and he ask me do you think i can make the whole camp come back bcus of the bottle i heard wronly and said no. I tot he said" you think the whole camp will come back because of that bottle." hahhas so lol lor.
In the tentage, three westwood ppl wont sleep and went around to disturb others with their torchlights and acted as CIs really frustrating almost wanted to whack them upside down. so no choice bear with it till next day only slept fot 2 hours sia and alot of mosquitoes.

Second day

Woke up at 530 to wae the other Jurongians to brush teeth and quickly fall in for flag-raising and PT, which was leaded by HO Jeremy. The PT was like darm hard a test of your fitness strength. lucky only for an hour. Breakfast was a fast one as had to help the group to wash mass tins and prepare tent for tentage inspections. almost half of my tent was infested with ants sia!!! lucky it was where the westwood ppl would sleep tonight hahhas so not my problem. Following that everyone took their backpack that we had packed yesterday and fall in at canteen. My group first activity was team-building. one was a memory game and the second was where you had to get two balls of twine onto the other side of the poncho without it dropping and everyone must hold onto the poncho. Next we just sat around and chat with the JW NCOs and i volunteered to be AIC, IC was wei hao from Jurong west.
After lunch, we had rope challenge and rock climbing. first was rock climbing i couldnt reach the top got not enough strength hahhas lol. Next was the maze, we had to get out of an old dark building lucky i was not the first man hahhas. The first guy kept hitting into things hahhas :X We could have gone for kayaking but due to lighting in nearby areas, low-rope challenge and kayaking was cancelled. and many people of Jurong was casuaties. haiz. So IC and i decided to use the time to plan for camp fire activities. we came up with a skit which was not really perfect or should i say unprepared hahhas.
Marched back to camp from the beach for flag-lowering and briefing for later events. we had 2.5 hours to bathe eat and perpare for camp fire. lucky did all that in time. I also found out at that time i lost my torchligh so sad T-T .
The campfire turn out to be quite fun not like ordinary campfire which i would be very bored at it. Due to time constraint, my group did not have to perform and there was alot of funny performance too long to type out here.
After it ended, all gathered at the field as the CIs wanted to mae sure that all the masstins and stove were there, we also could not fall alsleep or just take a rest or will be in pumping position haiz.Whne thye ask for volunteer i quickly stand up as i needed to walk aroung to prevent myself from falling asleep. We were told to check the tent for any masstin but i found non which was gud. when i went back to sit down and almost close my eyes, a JWSS NCO tap me i got a shock and tot it was a CI lucky it was not. Before we were release, we were imform that CI Mei yu wanted to see us, it turn out that it was consueling as one of us had did something very bad in simple. stand at the BBQ pit for like an hour or more and we suffer 3 casaulties. went into pumping position a few times. haiz.at 1230 everything finally ended and i tirly drag myself back to my tent, and went into the wrong ten luckyly i found out in time and went back to mine, this is usaul happen alot of times, hahhas lol.

Third day

Samtentse routine in the morning again. But after breakfast no inspection we brought our things to the fireld and unpitched our next mastins inspections and i voluteer inhelping to move the tent equiment from one place to another. Next week took a batch photo and took a van back to the jetty to reach mainland singapore. On the bus i dint feel tired at all, sir desmond was very funny when giving back wallets he ask everyone the conten of the wllet and there was alot of joking around hahhas. After dismissed i and Abdullah helped Ric to the bus stop while waiting for his parents and sent him home safely. went to Macsonald's with Riduan and Peiling. before dragging myself to go home. On the bus almost miss my stop was very sleepy due to lack of rest. Bathed and slept through the evning b4 getting up for Dinner. then at night Chat and went to sleep at 12 hahhas:D.

I think that ATC is filled with fun and un-fun things if you partcipate in it. I also learn that The leader is not always the important person , sometimes it is the last man making sure no one is left behind. I also manage to get a chance to be an AIC which i felt very honour, although it is just a small post but important too.

Well that's all for today untill next time

1st Penguin division Salute!!!

4/12 - 5/12: Batch chalet :D

Posted in

11:18 PM

Woo hoo Batch Chalet was fun :D Met Fatt rui, Beng koon, Ding feng, Wei jun and Caroline @ Boon Lay interchange to take 198 to Hong kah point to buy frozen food for the BBQ. The auntie at the stall gave us candy canes :D I think she see us buy alot of stuffs from her so give us for free :D Good Marketing strategy. Then went around with Fatt rui and Wei jun to look for the BBQ stuffs. Then took 98 to Lakeside and waited for Weishi's mom. Kept talking with Wei jun till Weishi's mom came at 10. Took a cab to Sentosa. When we arrive at the entrance of Sentosa, suppose to pay $10 for admission fee but the taxi uncle cashcard not enough money. So that guy just gave us a receipt and let us through. Then we were all like ai seh no need pay admission fee :D

So waited, had lunch, check in then went to the beach :D. Here's where the most horrible part came :( Sean and Wei kang grab me and drag me into the water. Was that the horrible part no.. its went they throw me into the water with my phone and the phone died :( then just hack care and went to build structures of hills and steps :D tried the stairs gave way when i step on it. Went swimming in the sea :D fun! Buried Weishi. then Fatt rui and Beng koon kept making her laugh :D. Went back, showered and started the fire for BBQ :D Soon the X-factors arrived. Ding feng was trying a new way of cooking, using aluminium trays and fill it with oil and put it over the BBQ pit to do shallow frying. Turn out quite well initially but overall failed.:P

Agnes, Caroline and Syafiqah went to Vivo to get more food while Fatt rui went to get the cake.The cake was amazing, on top of a rectangular base was a ship like those kind in the Victorian age made out of chocolate. Thanks Fatt rui!!! for making the cake :D Sang B'day song to Weishi and this ang moh came by and said"Whose B'day is it, i got to do it, i got to do it." He took pics with Weishi, the photo like as if the guy was touching her butt lol :D Had a nightwalk around Sentosa :D took pics almost everywhere possible :D. Went back to the room and everyone started playing Blackjack. I stayed out ;). Then dunno play half-way who suggest to go out and stay awake overnight. then i was the only one in room. Air-con was friggin cold with blankets also useless alomst became "cold turkey". Then at round 0700 got a call from Wei jun asking me to open the back gate for them.

The others went to sleep i just went out of the room and sat near the pool cus the room was friggin cold. woke everyone at 0930 and guess what initially was to clear the room but end up playing blackjack. =.=" Ding feng was like playing as if $10 was nothing to him. Lost $50 to fatt rui :D lol. Check out at 1230 and went to Vivo for lunch before going home :D

Holidays =D / =( ?!?

6:20 AM

The holidays are here but sian, almost every subject had assignments. What is wrong with all the teachers, Americans don't get so much homework on Summer Vacation, I rather go to school than do the work.

Today I almost freak out in the morning, had to get up at 0615h. Last night i scared i cannot wake up then set the loudest ring tone for my alarm (Prove to be a bad thing). This morning the phone rang, I piratically jump out from my bed, got the shock out of my life, Hahhas LOL.

At 0645h went to take the train to Jurong East to pass my "spy manual" to Wei Jun.

After that went home and started on my homework. Now I know why Clementi Town was good in maths, their paper was filled with demoralising and brain-hacking questions arggh.............., really got on my nerves for a while =X.

At 1500h watch Air Crash investigation on National geography Channel. Today's episode was about China airlines flight 611 (a Boeing 747 plane). The plane was flying from Taiwan to Hong Kong after flying for 25 mins the plane structure broke up at an altitude of 35 000 ft near Pengu island. Almost 1000 peole took part in the rescue but all were dead including a Singaporean.

Initially there were 2 theories to tthe crash 1) Hit by a missile 2)A delibrate bomb attack, but no evidence found was able to prove it.

Finally, the cause was found which was link to something that happen 22 years ago!!! Can you believe it, I was like WOW when they said it.That year while plane was landing its tail scratch against the runway causing scratchies. However China airlines instead of following Beoing procedures they just smoothe the metal part and cover it with another piece of metal. Then it claim that everything was fine.

However there was a crack in the metal, everytime the plane took off & landed the crack grew bigger. As we know when the plane takes off the pressure in the plane pushes against the walls, when the pressure became too large for the metal piece that covered the crack it broke apart. China airlines mantaineers weren't able to identify the problem lead to this tragic incident.

This incident also reflects about us in our daily life when most of us do things we often think that anyhow do can already that was what I think the mantaineers tot of which i do not know lol. Their moment's folly cause 22? lifes!!

While I thin that's all for today tata =D (untill next time)
