NCC (Land) 3 Big Test! + Evening of Music & Drama (EMD) 2009
On 18/9/2009, 2 major events in school for me. First was the NCC tests which consisted of arm drills, Individual Field Craft (IFC) and Total Defence Badge Test (Silver), next was the Evening of Music & Drama (EMD) 2009 produced by our school ELDDS.
First was my NCC tests, firstly we were split into 2 groups, the first group did IFC first followed by drill test, and vice versa for second group. I was in the first group.
We proceeded to the place behind the hostel. I was the first in the group to do the IFC test. Basically IFC means the ways to help you survive during war, they tested you something like how to judge distances, how to camouflage yourselves, how to move and field signals. I screwed up one of my field signals and judging distances! I was worried that I did not do well.
The second test was drill test. They tested you on Rusok, Turong & Hormat Senjata. I must say that I screwed up badly, especially Rusok Senjata when I almost could not catch the rifle.
The last test was Total Defence Badge Test (Silver), where I did my bronze one last year. It was just some power point slides about how to defend Singapore by our platoon sergeant, the school head prefect. We then did some quizzes set by them. Ha ha it was damn easy, much than what I expected!
The results came out. For me? Not so bad lah. I got third in my platoon for IFC with a score of 79 and first in the Total Defence Test with a score of 19/20 , surprisingly! I did not get top 5 for drill test, no surprise-after all I screwed up badly.
So that's what happened for my tests. For the next half an hour, I waited for the EMD.
Finally the EMD started. EMD was held every 2 years, so this was my first time, on alternative years, the Dramafest is held instead (which I attended last year). It consisted of performances, such as singing, playing instruments by our Concert Band, Chinese Orchestra, plays and even magic shows! The emcee was my classmate! I must say that all of them put up a wonderful performance! I was deeply impressed! There was a 15-minute intermission where I ate my dinner. Then we continued with second half of the event. To me, EMD was quite an interesting event, too bad only me and 3 other classmates turned up. By the time I got home, it was already 11.15 p.m.! I am looking forward to the Dramafest next year!
