Here to blog again.ah ha.Nice holiday I had. Went to chalets, doing assessments, watching TV serials, playing the playstation.Found out which I loved most.I prefer Hong Kong serial drama to Korean serial drama. So, now my favourite channels are starhub cabletv channel 55 and 48. And I got a few favourite actors and actress, namely Ron Ng, Leila Tong, Tavia Yeung,Michelle Yip , Charmaine Sheh, Gallen Lo, Ken Ma, Chen Hui Shan and a few more. Favourite serials are, Aqua heroes, Triumph in the skies, The Viligante in the mask, Armed rection 4 and much more. TVB SERIALS ARE THE BEST. Going to miss most of the serials when school reopens. Well afterall, school work is the most important. Picked up some Cantonese during the holidays, though still a little not familiar with it.Hmm, going to practise more of it. Changed to layout to a TVB triumph in the skies one. Ron Ng is the guy over there and Michelle Yip is the girl.""Looking for websites to download TVB serial songs. Anyone who has any information or know any websites can either e-mail me at muthekingofsoccer@hotmail.com or post it at the tagboard. Your information is very critical and thank you for flying with TVB airlines. We hope to see you soon and have a pleasant flight."" This is your pilot captain speaking

24 hours after graduating as a NCO. Went for the NCO camp during the weekends. Enjoyed myself there in the camp. Here is a recap of the events that happened.

Went there on Friday morning at around 7.30am. Many of my squadmates were there. Had a changing parade in the morning. Well, Ifeel that we deserved it, because the squad were not coordinated in passing the consent forms to another and that was one mistake that we could not deny. Changed from head to toe for about 5 times. Later, we had our drill sessions. Did rifle drill for quite long. Most of us were quite farmilar with the drill moves and soon, the drill session was over. Had our lunch, field cooking style. Had maggie mee with some canned food (sardines,curry chicken).After lunch, had a few lectures on first aid, roles and expectatons. Next,campcraft.Learnt tent-pitching.I was impressed that some of my squadmates who I thought were poor with their campcraft skills improved them.One example was Iskandar.He was able to tie a bowline and was able to contribute in tent-pitching when he could not in the past.Had dinner. Same style as lunch. In the night, some more lectures and then followed by clean up. Then it's off to ZzZz. Some of the officers tried to steal our rifles in the night. Even though they did not manage to steal a single one, the squad was not taking care of our rifles quite responsibly. some of us did not hold on tight and had to depend on other squadmates to keep a lookout for us for officers.

Next day, had physical training in the morning.did many different styles of push-ups.Some squadmates gave up half-way while others strove on.Yup, I agreed that the push-ups tested our endurance skills and whether were we physically and mentally fit as NCOs.Then breakfast and off to lectures again followed by drill. Learnt method-of-instruction.Lunch and off to more lectures.Had pioneering and off to dinner(nasi lemak).Last lecture by Mam Jueling and off to debrief. Had comments from officers that our performance was not up to standard. This was due to our poor attitude and wrong mindset.

Last day.In the morning, last physical training and off to area cleaning. Then release of postings.Had what I wanted but will not reveal the unit's postings because I feel that no matter what postings we get, we must work towards the unit's and the sec 1 and sec 2 cadet's welfare. The postings are only for certain people in the NCO squad to lead the various comittees.The total success depends on everyone's contributions, not the comittee heads effort or officer's efforts.Those play a part, but everything depends on ourself. As quoted from sir Guo hwee > The officers can only bring you to a certain distance, the remaining distance would depend on yourself.Sec 3 NCOs, we have waited and endured more than 2 years for this. come on, we can do it!
