Today was rather bad... I think I'm a bit sickly. Can sneeze for 5 minutes straight for a couple of times@grandma's house. And I ate two cones of ice-cream lol. Go her house always nothing to do so eat, sleep or do some homework, in the order of priority(to me).
Tomorrow going to Charis' birthday party. Haven't bought a present yet O.o Must hurry. Not a nice thing to go w/o present. In the morning nothing to do as well, so in a way glad there's something to keep me occupied.

NCC Training
Ok NCC training is gonna become the most typical uhhh.. post on my blog. Cos its twice per week. What do you expect? Anyway, I kind of look forward to it to kill some time cos can do nice drills. Today I learnt:
Pipa Arm(Is it spelt like that?)
Chingay Seagull
Modified Seagull
I think the hardest is the Chingay Seagull. Dunno why lol.
Anyway after training to KAP and Louis did several unsightly things, like:
-Knocking Kenneth's coke down while attempting a quick grab for french fry
- Mixed several drinks together
-Ughh... Never mind
Yesterday was my dad's birthday. Happy birthday Daddy!!!! lol.
NCC Chalet coming soon.
***************************************

-Monday, November 26, 2007-
Today was one of the most honourable trainings. We fell in EARLY. And I mean early. But a lot of people went overseas. So we had training with like 20 ppl:( Hope there'll be once we fall in full strength early, that'll be nice:)
Uni. Check i got 4 mistakes, feel dam zi bei cos I got the 2nd most mistakes in the part. Must adjust some small things here and there. After that got rifle drills. So a drill can come in many forms eh? So nice to test us. Dunno is tired or what I blanked out a bit halfway.. Lol.
After training the whole PT session was spent on teaching us how to get GOLD for NAPFA.
"By right, the NCC cadets should be owning the rest of the people in the class. Next year the minimum of the minimum of the minimum, is Gold."-Sgt Jun Kai
Good. I shall work towards that. First up is by standing broad jump. 226cm, here I go!
Lastly was change of ics. Gwee Yong Xiang took over. Hopefully under him we come early, and then all of us will get promoted sooner. Timer must change often...
Section 1 ic: Maung Thet Naing Win
Section 2 ic: Lok Ying Da
Section 3 ic: Louis Ngia Jin Liang
Section 4 ic: Solomon Poon
Hope they do a good job(cos I didn't).
****Lunch****
Went back to Salt Centre to savage my un-curable boots. My white gloves was used for cloth. Very nice hor lucky Zhong Hui got extra pair otherwise I dunno how I'm gonna do PDS. Thanks a lot sia. And to think Zhong Hui even brought my boots home to help after that. I feel so touched :D xD. Must treat him next time for helping me so much.
Did 300 pumpings in total. 50 each. Louis keep crapping in da middle.
Next up: Orientation. Must impress the Sec 1s to get a good Part A like ourselves.
This Friday got party. Hope Zhong Hui can go as well.

HCINCC PART A'07
- The best part ever
- The best NDP marching supporting contingent
- The best shooting results(2nd), but jia you we can get first
- The best PT standards overall
- The best bonded(soon)
- The best drills
- The best MSG(lol)
I remember Senior Jian Rui said if we must do something wrong, do something wrong together. Wah that was the most sensible thing I did in NCC, but anyway I've now realised joining NCC was not something I'd regret. I don't think I'll like softball, so its good I was allocated into NCC, because if I didn't get in I wouldn't have met this 30:
Jia Jun
Shawn
Xin Ren
Louis
Maung Thet
Zhong Hui
Zhong Hao
Ying Da
Jun Wei
Guan Koi
Yuan Xin
Li Ming
Ivan
Ting Kai
Yong Xiang
Betrick
Bryan
Jian Sheng
Kenneth
Qin Jiang
Shaun
Solomon
Tian Wen
Tan Yang
Zachary
Tiet Ho
Xue Quan
Zhe Wei
Zhi Wei
in no order of favouritism.
HCINCC PART B'07- Thanks for guiding us along during camp/trainings
Next year we going to be Part Bs liao. Endure and don't pon NCC!(lol)
Anyway first competition shooting we got 2nd in the West, so not so bad lah. I screwed up a bit but not to the extent of losing one placing. Hope we do better next year.
-Sunday, November 18, 2007-
Ok. Back from camp. Let me give full details about it.
Before camp
We fell in at a Part of 30. Just as we thought we could get another opportunity to fall in with full strength, Yuan Xin got headache cannot come. Vomitting:( So ask Zhong Hao report strength, then he forget=.= ic leh, teach already still forget. But anyway after the camp now you know, so good.
Muster Parade
Our Part was split into 4 parts together with Part Bs, Alpha Bravo Charlie and Delta. I was in Charlie and its quite zai la got Darren and Yang Cheng easier to organise things.
Charlie
Part As
Jia Jun, Zhe Wei, Li Ming, Solomon, Xin Ren, Me
Part Bs
Yang Chen, Jordy, Chong Yee, Darren, Aylwin, Kenji
During Camp (P.S Some minor activities are not included )
FIRST DAY
RSM: Jun Kai
ARSM: Gerald
COS: Lim Zhong Hui
BOS: Kenneth Tong
Draw M16 rifles. You lose it, you die.
First activity was AUCTION. Do Physical Training in exchange for smth. Quite ok la.
Lunch was self-cooked maggi mee. Cannot spill otherwise need to clean up. Learnt to be clean.
Second activity was Route March. Walk 14km. I didn't know HCINCC so pro can walk so long and not so tired.
At night got bunk cleaning. We got a lot of mistakes and pumped. Dust everywhere.
Then got WARGAMES. I tio OWNED la. Stay passive kena backstabbed. Stay active kena hiong and killed. Wah Lao. Sacrificed myself for the sake of exposing Yi Sheng lol.
At night was freaking cold. Then I sleep with Poncho, and hugged my rifle like siao. Otherwise NCOs steal I die.
SECOND DAY
COS: Jia Jun(later reported sick), Yong Xiang
BOS: Zheng Xiang(sick), Shyh Hong
Charlie Section IC: Me(OMGWTF want to screw Charlie isit?!)
First Activity was team bonding. It was overall quite ok and quite tiring, but Part As(Yes me as well) should constantly run and not walk. Got pull ups all Part B and Solomon pia for me and Li Ming. Feel so bad. Going to buy a pull-up bar!
Second Activity was drills. Don't know why its more tiring than PT to me.
At night bunk cleaning. Mistakes so do 73 total pull-ups.
At night rest a bit then Solo Nite. Ppl think challenging but for me the most scary one. Chose somewhere near Drama Centre then stone. End up not scary but half the time have to fight to NOT sleep. Lucky I never.
Then sleep at 3+ then 4+ got fire drills. Like that still need to sleep meh-.- Then wake up feeling blur and Li Ming had no ez-link card. Next time must rmb! Went back to sleep until 8+.
P.S I didn't do so badly as Section IC.
THIRD DAY
Wake up; Polish boots.
Oh yeah, talk about my boots. My boots at first quite zai la can shine shine shine then this ***** go switch boots with me give me this lousy boots. Need re-do foundation and got scratches wtf. Going to burn liao wat the heck. I am SOOOOOOO Pissed over this.
Fall in; Drills.
Eh?! I thought Part Bs say amazing race, why become drills?! March around and around, cheer and march.
Bang Bang left foot,(echo)
I wanna hear your left foot.(echo)
Moti-moti got a lot of motivation,(echo)
dedi-dedi got a lot of dedication,(echo)
motivation(echo)
dedication(echo)
to the corps(echo)
whose corps
our corps(echo)
NCC(echo)
all the way!(echo)
Example of a drill. Yeah must have motivation to do well, and endure.
After lunch was bunk cleaning. Wah seh saw something for the first time.
In the past Senior Jianrui said- Bunk check unreasonable. Sure punished.
And we didn't get pumped , ask us sit down (wah!)
Then finally POP. 7 people promoted during camp. But I won't mention who they are, because at the end of the day all 31 of us WILL get promoted. Jia You all!!!
This camp I learnt about Teamwork and endurance and mental strength. Next time need to teach juniors le. The Part Bs are dam good they guided us along all this while. Thanks.
Up Next: Shooting competition. Part A, B and C shooting team Jia You! Must get the 8%!
-Wednesday, November 14, 2007-
Just went to Jia Jun's blog and found out this super cool game, nah, not the game the format and stuff. Lol its quite creative so I decided to make a similar one on my own xD.
Today was SUPER boring... Buy books, eat, play, blog, gonna sleep. Then must pack bag for camp. Talk about camp. Its less than 24 hours away, and I still ache from Shooting training yesterday. Die.
Wah lao canp good chance to get promoted and to think I still hurt now, like that how to get promoted?! Then my mum refuses to let me polish my boots, and I have no no no no idea why. So one mistake for U check. 2 No. 4 for 3 days. Sure pumped.
Kk need to change blog template and pack bag. Will update next Saturday, Should be a long post xD.
-Tuesday, November 13, 2007-
"Come next Tiuesday. Erm come do some PT to train for shooting competition". So today early in the morning Teewai, Maung Thet, Zachary and me fall in. Bryan was still at home. wtf you die after camp . Sian then he skip all the PT. First we did warm-up. Wah I still think happy happy warm-up so easy. But the training later quite hiong. This is what happened.
Sergeant: Do 4 sets of 20 pumpings with one leg raised.
*Do, do do, until dizzy gonna vomit. Early morning I can't do exercise.
Sergeant: Do 2 sets of 30 dips.
*Finished*
*Reported Sick*
Sergeant: Do push up(Improvised)
*Halfway join back finished*
Do 6 dips on parallel bar, or hold 30s for 1.
Not so hard, so-called slacking time.
Then kena scolded for not wearing grrrreeen socks, say must see Sergeant after training. Haiz my socks still wet. Then thought we die but lucky never pump us .This was the best thing he said to me since proper training started I tired liao leh.
Go poolside slack SLACK SLACK, then come home.

These few days never post cos quite busy, sometimes go out. Let me split this post into 4 parts- One part for each day.
Thursday
Happy Deepavali all! Lol I use this convenient date go buy my camp stuff. End up I first few to buy the rest bought on Friday. Got time then buy lah, why must wait?
Friday
Full day dam tiring. PDS Training from 8am-1pm. Learnt Momo Arm, Popeye Arm and Slow Markel. Right now our Rifle PT is done in sets of 9, 6, 3. We're getting closer to our EOY Target, but not close enough. Jia You!!!!
Afternoon went home to rest. Prepare for the night's shooting. Lol nothing much to prepare actually. Just moderate and rest eyes.
At night shoot. Group size 7.7cm and 8.4cm, so much more than that time 4.1cm and 4.4cm. Told you all its luck. But at least now I know I trying not to shoot more than a 2-digit size.
Saturday
Watched The Game Plan with Joshua, Yili, David and Colin. Quite funny and bits about family, typical simple story actually, but I like it:)
Afternoon went to Victoria Concert Hall to watch my sister's Chinese Orchestra. Wah come up with some pro name- A Blossoming of Music 07. I dunno how to appreciate-.- But the songs they play were quite nice lah, and loud lol.
Sunday
Today went out early in the morning to Jalan Kayu go eat roti prata. Say orrrrrrri-gi-nal and nice, but okay la. Oily -.- Then go abacus class(Yes, I still learn abacus, lame or what my counting improve leh). Then eat lunch my dad scold me for buying food without waiting for him. WTH. He scold scold scold I don't know what the heck he scolding me about then say what "Why don't go walking then eat?" Then just now he say "Hurry up eat, I need to go meeting".
Not that I don't like him or what but scold people for nothing. Then my mum whole day dao him(really). Then the whole lunch my family silent except me eating. They angry I also cannot be unfair to my stomach what. Small matter, but who ask my dad got such bad temper...
Next Thursday is NCC Camp. Going to get promoted to Lance Coporal hopefully. Then 20/11/07 is IMT Competition. Must win.
-Wednesday, November 07, 2007-
Our NCC Part falling apart=( Some early, some late, some pon. This morning got camp training, some people never come. Then we thought morning got stuff, so afternoon won't late, but haiz, late again. But then our drills quite good.
For the shooting competition Maung Thet is reserve, then that time my shoot was half luck , so he has a chance of taking over me, and me becoming reserve lol. But go into Shooting team I'm very happy. Just hoping our part won't split cos of this. We're still a part, then gone through close to a year together, and going to be promoted soon le. Endure!
Need to learn NCC Core values liao. Hope our team can get good results. 8% to final result for our NCC unit leh!
-Tuesday, November 06, 2007-
Just when I thought clicking 'A' for an optional subject of Cheeeee-na Literature was something that would make me the laughing stock of others, Zhang Yi came up with the best morale and encouragement I ever heard(He's going anyway, so motivating me to go) : You got to go your own way, you got to move on and be who you are we might find our place in this world someday. Wow. I never knew Zhang Yi had such potential talent.
Anyway today I spent the day@ grandma's house, and being there for a consecutive 6 hours made me think about Jia Jun's recent post, about each and every one of us have different personalities. One personality in school, one at home. Maybe even one with other relatives.
Come to think of it, he's right. In school, sometimes I make fun of friends and vice versa, (so its not THAT bad). At home, I'm as quiet as a mouse, sometimes stuck to my com. When its Chinese New Year or some other festival when my relatives come and visit me, I feel really small and tiny, insignificant. So while they walk I literally tag behind, silent. Big contrast eh?
But then again, as Jia Jun has said, which one is the real you? I wouldn't know lol. Maybe I think I'm the real side with my friends. Its some natural feeling not to say anything bad or wrong in front of your parents I think. After this comes with a lot of other questions: Which side is the correct behaviour you should display? Is it definitely following your parents?(I'm not trying to say I'm unfillial but just unsure). Lol I never know can think so much at the age of 13.
Wa today got a lot of self-soul-searching. But its quite true. Maybe some time in the future will change to one bah.
Back to I was saying that I opted for Chinese Literature. Lol being someone who used to not like Chinese a lot(except for Chinese Lessons by Liang-Lao Shi), I don't know why I chose it. Sec One I took like half a year to adapt before I started to do slightly better. If next year I take up another subject, and a hard one at that, I might even be more stressed. Some more less time to rest and stuff. But after somewhat considered a long time(10 mins is long for such stuff WITH my mum) I opted for it.
Hope I made the right choice.
-Monday, November 05, 2007-
Gym
Today went to the gym once again, but with Jie Xun left this time. Went there early like 10am. People say the early bird catch the worm, go there at 10am already considered late, got a lot of people inside Cardio Gym, they very very early hor. Dunno why we both don't like doing gym with a lot of people inside, so we waited and waited and waited untill finally the room empty. Learnt that patience is an abstract virtue that pays off=.=
Did the usual thing lah, run, "cycle" and MORE running. But Jie Xun, lol, though smaller sized he very veri strong. This is, to the best of my memory, what I remembered about just now.
*I jogged 200m*
CY: How long you going to jog?
JX: err, 4km
CY: Wa siao, you jog so much. I jog 3km can liao.
*JX laughs*
JX: You NCC leh
CY: No lah I weakest in NCC around there.
*I jogged 1km*
CY: Wa today very weak a bit dizzy I rest a while first.
*rest*
*Silence, Jie Xun still jogging*
*1 minute after that*
CY: Ok continue.
*I logged 1.6km*
CY: Wa really tired liao need to stop.
*Stops and rest*
*Jie Xun still jogging*
*5 minutes after*
CY: Ok I think I try 2.5km.
*Stops@ 2.6km*
*Jie Xun still jogging*
*Jie Xun stops at 4km*
WTH "Jie Xun still jogging" jog all the way to 4km w/o resting. I jog until 2.6km rest 3 times. Bad sign=(
After that went to eat and saw Zhong Hao. Here for Health and Fitness Programme. I asked him this question,and the reply he gave was utterly amazing.
"You need to pay for school fees?"
Ans: No need. I join AEP got scholarship, all school fees never pay.
Wah lao artistic people no need to pay. Not like I don't want to be artistic, is I not born with it. No creativity somemore, so much do extreme-ly well to no need pay school fees. AEP can save close to 8k for your parents leh! But besides the money side of me lol I know AEP is you like art then you join. Even if I could I wouldn't, cos I won't like it anyway so it's going to be a waste of time for me.
Come home NEVER straightaway gb, w00ts. Was trying for half hour to find Shieh LS's homework, but my efforts WENT DOWN The drain. Wah lao. After that then play a bit lol.
K need to do work. Whole day slack also not fun.
-Saturday, November 03, 2007-
Today was pure boring... And tomorrow got something on so cannot go out with Brandon and the rest=( What to do? Holidays very busy leh.
Go grandma's house eat and sleep lol literally. Really nothing to do. Maybe read a bit of books in between but nothing else le....
Anyway when I told my parents I got selected for IMT, they replied "orh". Ask them why not happy for me, say what "Win we congratulate you." Ok la quite reasonable but think win very easy meh? Give some encouragement leh. Lol. I hope can do well, my first non-academic related competition, must prove myself hmph. No top 3 also a consolation-.-
-Friday, November 02, 2007-
IMT
My sister's results:
Chinese - 87/100
English-79/100
Math- 98/100
Science- 85.5/100
GEP Test: Didn't get in.
The best class was like 3/4 all go GEP. Who ask TNS stream so fast my sister class only a few got in. But anyway don't get in also got its advantages. At least 3 Band 1 out of 4=)
NCC TRAINING
Today fall in late again and after 5 minutes extension time somemore. I was saying-" Yesterday ask today ask time extension again where can? Got use meh some people sure late."
Zhong Hui said-" Just try la". Try try try and now this. But can't blame him. He IC also got troubles-.-
PDS was tiring, today learnt Sungfoo Arm and Slapping Arm. Quite confusing but anyway practice should make perfect. Being in Yi Sheng's section means no pumping, but at the same time less breaks and rest, so is it really that lucky lol. Other groups look so energetic but I like dying at the end of training=.=
Then SSG Yi Sheng announced the people going for IMT, and quite happy I was chosen. But then that day was sheer luck, dunno if luck can come another few times or not. Somemore competition is at 17-23 November and camp is at:
15-17 November
Wa die die. After camp muscles ache still must carry rifle to shoot. Haiz.. Try lor..
I think I'm getting addicted to gb. Lol Maung Thet said it was pure outdated, but then i like can liao, don't care outdated or not:) But must control. From December onwards 2 hr per week at most hmph.
-Thursday, November 01, 2007-
Holidays
"If you missed training up during the exam period for camp, here's one more chance- the holidays". This was what I heard yesterday and thus today went to the gym@Salt Centre with Zhong Hui, Maung Thet, Jie Xun, and Zhang Yi. Ran 3km on the mill and exercised lol. Muscle pain.
After that strolled to SOC(Standard Obstacle Course) and tried crossing the wall. I tried like everyday since Term 2 and finally could, and worse at that timewhen I could I called Yuan Xin a loser for being unable to climb up and for the first time he did. Jie Xun and Zhang Yi both crossed the wall. Wah pro pro.
Then went Coro buy bubble tea, ask for bubble tea they say: "No bubble, Jelly larh can?" -.- What to do, some jelly lor pay extra 50 cents. Wanted to eat at Coro but too bad long queue, so had to go All the Way back to Poolside to eat lunch. Ordered Sambal Fried Rice, which is probably the nicest food over there.
Went home and gb 2 hrs, I got limit de lol. Can't play too much later my eyesight become from bad to worse.
Going to read To Kill a Mockingbird liao.
