Penguins lovin'it

So tmr school will reopen and term 2 will commence with effect from 22/03. Notice that i didn't put the tittle as "end of holidays, sian" or something related. This is because i believe that everyone should try and be optimistic.

"A pessimist see the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."

- Winston Churchill

When running events, problems are sure to arise, large ones or minute ones deter from one situation to another. There is often a solution to each problem that arise, is just how flexible one is towards your thinking and problem solving. Well although sometimes its hard to remain optimistic as when one is under stress, it may be too great to overcome and thus making she/he alittle hot-tempered. This is where another person who is not under stress and optimistic should lend a helping hand and overcome the problem.

Stress can be caused by intensive competition or huge workloads. Thus I believe that Harmony would victors over competition. Helping one another is better than working alone, striving to be the best but in turn causing hatred to form resulting in a society that does not have much improvements.

Shanghai world expo coming soon in 41 days :D

Day 1
Changed, had briefing and got ready at the Parade Square. Did the attandance taking and bag check. Found some prohibited stuff. Then put the bags and went up to hall. Opening ceremony and gave out the bandanas. Started with Chapter 1, played with games and i think that the maze game, was not properly explained so caused soem confusion. Then had water parade which could have been changed to teaching of food/water cheer. Chaotic situation.
The mike was useless from the back it muffers when you shout at it. This batch of sec 1s is the hardest to control I have met so far. imagine the scenario 50 > councillor vs 300 students. All the seniors step in to help but to no avail. Caroline's face was v pissed. Then Vernetta, sorry to mention the name but i really have to cus i think she doesn't even know what to do during that situation which was the basic. She kept talking and had fun with the campers when ppl in front were trying hard to get them to keep quiet. So finally manage to start the dinner w the cheer and eat.

Then Gavin called for meeting, thus there was less than 10 councillors left w the sec 1s but now there were some teacher.Then I, Sean, Hua chong, Beng koon and Ding feng discuss about PA with Gavin. And we were facing the biggest problem in camp. All sec 2s had to fall out for streaming talk and some sec 3s had meet-the-parents. Almost the whole school was used and we couldn't disturb them. so guys PA was moved to 3rd floor while half had PA, the other had cheer teaching @ IT resource room. so while teaching half-way, Sean call me for back-up cus apprently DF burst a pipe so toilet was locked and guys could not have PA. Then teach half-way, Gavin go crazy and started pumping people. Then WK, S and others pull him out and kao pei him.
Then we started to send people down to canteen first and ppl started to give different instructions. so i heck care all of them. then guys PA was allowed on second floor then first floor. After the girls finish, i immidietaly send some of the guys with Sazzad to where the girls had their PA. Before that female councillors just started coming up and Kao Pei Kao Bu me ask me why guys so slow. Then at the canteen there i had about 50 guys with me so send about 10+ in and bath in a way which is not supposed to be known to ppl outside SC :D Sean was like' after this you would be closely bonded to your male friends and when you go out you can only smile and say its fun" I finished them in like 30 mins, Guys was like way faster than girls. So would ppl think before they speak.

Next was Bonding Night. its was like a disco-fashion show. But while that was happening, i was picking up things that sec 1s left behind and doing patrolling catching sec 1s who keep running off. Due to the seniors telling them that the school got ghost. Then was project runway which was fun during the presentation part. alot of funny things happen ;) Sec 1s had supper next and went to sleep. WTH before they sleep i still have to shout at people to quickly find a spot which was just in front of them, one big space to open up and sleep. Had debrief which lasted for nearly 2 hours. and Mrs idle is taking over council. went patrolling for like 1 hour then saw JT n JP using the guys showeroom, i was like wth. some guys almost did pull up. Come on ppl pls this is unacceptable! meditate and slept at 3. meditate helps you to have a better sleep. :)

Day 2
Woke up at 5, was sub-conscious when Peiling came with her sleeping bag and whack me. Then she poke me, i open my eyes and saw her face in front of me, was shocked. could have woken me up at 0515, i was already on standby with all my stuff there. Then had briefing which made me quite irritated, cus even if sec 2s didn't know that there was meeting at 0515 but 0530 there was no reason for them to come at 0550 so late. Sean n BK had to shout at them and ppl can just stroll in like nothing happened.

So had PT and Breakfast. the noodle and sugarcane tasted weird. i tot sugar cane was supposed to be sweet?!? Next had the rollarcoaster game, had trouble starting the thing then as it went on, i settle problems my self and manage to come out with something my self :D Congrats Penguin :) then some ppl slack around but i have no time to care for them. so 1A came in second, yipee :D. Then had cheering competition. followed by some fun, the campers were getting into camp mood but it was all coming to an end already. Area cleaning was next followed by prize presentation. BREAK CAMP ;) today's briefing was short and comments were good :).

But i think that most sec 2s are relying on us alot. They just stand there staring waiting for things to happen or talk among themselve. They won't even clear up the place that they eat last night, pissed. My advise/strategy went something cock up is "Don't wait for something to happen, make something happen which is the solution", oh and some people cannot keep cool or start showing pissed faces which situation cocks up which i think is something we can work on.

Had Jurong secondary annual sports meet @ Clementi Stadium today. wonder why they chose this place, is it because its cheap or were other stadiums booked? well its okay cus most important its near my house :D So fall in npcc full u and started duty at 7. As ncc took up all the entrance and stairs, our job was to prevent non-participants from bridging our line and interfere with the race or the participants. If necessary by force, while that's my opinion for handling aggressive spectators or mobs. As the sports day was approaching the end, the joint effort of NPCC and NCC was request to help clear the stadium of litters. A few people from ncc were v uncooperative by throwing the litter at us and making a fool out of NPCC. So their Staff sergeant had to interfere. Scouts was the same too, ESP Eugene. He told his scouts not to lend the boxes to us. Come on lah WTH we are one school okay. there is of course a reason why we need the boxes. After clearing, went to change and rushed back to school :D

So at school rushed back in time for the bus. Then the Jin ping really looked like sec one cus she has no badges, name tag and is a private. Then we were the first school to reached HTA followed by Yuan Ching.
When i entered the shooting range, wore the muffers and picked the revolver. I was not trembling which was quite cool cus last year i was trembling and affected my accuracy. Saw Ms Lim which was quite cool cus didn't expect her to be in the range helping me. So loaded and ready. On the command "watch your front, 8 rounds fire", so applied double pressure to the trigger during the shoot. That part was scary if at any time when i applied the first, i let go or applied more pressure the firing pin could have gone of before i aim. When reloading, had problems getting the empty cartriges out. So a FI step in to help but 1 stubborn cartrige just won't get out. Thus i was passed another revolver. so loaded and fired again but this time the target moved to 15m. So tried my best to pretend the target is a head and aim in the middle of it. Then there was a shot i didn't manage to apply double pressure so couldn't get full marks because of that. Then Ms Lim kept showing hand signs to tell me that i did great after i finished. =D
Scored second highest in the squad =D 78/80, even when i have one of the worst eyesight in the squad i was still better than those who had better eyesight.
