NCC (Land) December Training Camp 2009 Part 1
4 days ago, 7/12/2009, it was my NCC (Land) Annual Unit Camp conducted by our unit's Sec 3 specialists. It was a 3D2N camp held at our school. This was my second time attending this camp (Of course I had attended the camp last year when I was Sec 1).
I reported for In-Processing at 0745hrs. After our attendance were taken, we were split into details. I was in Detail 1 with the name of "Eagle" together with 1 other Part B and 4 other Part As (which 1 of them went home later as he was unwell). Sadly I was not in same detail as my best friend Ahmad Aqashah (put in Detail 3) like last year.After we got our valuables confiscated and bags checked, put in the hall, we were told to design a poster for our detail. So we decided to use our detail name EAGLE to make an acronym for Excellence, Awesomeness, Greatness, Leadership, Enthusiasm and we decided to draw an eagle eating some yummy food.
After that the nightmare of the camp came! We were told to do push-ups + Sit-ups + Jumping Jets and we were told to repeat many times since we screwed up in one way or another. After that we were told to jog 3 rounds around the school (about 1.6 Km)! Not only that, we had to shout while jogging as instructed by our ASM. On the way, we got knocked down another 30 for not running together and not shouting. By the time we completed our PT, I was 3 quarter dead!
After that we had our lunch, the food was quite nice except too much vegetables compared to meat. After lunch, we had our inter-detail games of soccer, floor ball and captain's ball. For soccer, we played as normal but for floor ball, we had to find a partner and had one of our legs tied together. It was indeed much more difficult to move! Due to accidents occurred during the floor ball match, we need not tie our backs together for captain's ball to prevent further accidents. For each game our detail played against 2 other details. Overall, our detail did not do as well. We got 4th for soccer, 6th which was last for floor ball and 2nd for captain's ball.
After that was our free time, which I spent bathing, followed by dinner.
After that was one of the highlights: War Game. Firstly, we had to buy a rank, each rank would be able to defeat a rank lower than it though there were exceptions (For list of ranks, click here). We were given 3 lives in means of puzzles. When we won a battle (by means of flashing their ranks together, the one which rank could defeat another won), we received their puzzle piece (gaining extra life), when we lost, we gave them our puzzle piece. When we lost all our lives, we went back to the base to wait for someone to donate lives and the winner takes your rank and sold it. Ranks could be switch between your detail mates. The detail who everyone lost their lives would be eliminated. The team with the most money and points (1 point=1 life left) won. Sad to say our detail screwed up like crazy, getting last!
After that we had our supper and went to the hall to sleep.

Teachers' Day 2009 Part 1 @ Victoria School
In class we played games organised by one of my classmate. The first game played was musical chair, where everyone has to grab a seat when the music stops. In my group I was the first one to compete. Luckily I managed to grab a seat. Everyone in my group managed to grab a seat except one. That guy is known as the squarehead in our class as his head is rather square. When it was his turn, he was the one who did not get a seat where people in other groups managed to. I started laughing and mocking at him, the next moment his face turned red and said:"YOU BETTER SHUT UP!"that made me wanting to mock at him more.
Next we played "splat". The rules: When a person is pointed with 2 arms, he is supposed to squat down and the 2 people next to him are supposed to wave to each other. When a person is pointed with 1 arm, he and the 2 people next to him are supposed to squat down. Sadly to say, our team screwed up like siao.
The last game we played was blind mice, where the person who is blind-folded is supposed to catch people. I did not participate in the game. Our group once again screwed up because of the squarehead-our marks deducted as he anyhow throw things at people. Our group members called him the saboking.
Overall, our group got the lowest points. We had to do a forfeit. We had to dance in front of whole class! Our group members reluctantly agreed to dance, with me leading the dance, except squarehead, who refused to dance at all cost. Everyone in class called him the SORE LOSER of the game since he did not have the guts to dance.
After that we went to the hall. We played a game. We had to guess who was the teacher from his/her young/child photo! Well we had lots of fun, especially when we knew how our teachers looked like when they were young.
Teachers' Day @ Victoria School was a rather fun event for me, hope that next year will be better...

Camp STEEL 2009 Part 1
When we reached there, it sures bring back memories of last year's Camp FEAST, which was held at the same place. We had our bags checked and we were split up into different platoons with other schools. I was placed in Platoon 3, with 2 other of my classmates and 3 other from my neighbouring class. I was also in the same platoon with 1 Primary school classmate. After that we placed our stuffs in our bunk.
We then went to the multi-purpose hall for some talks by one of the officers. Basically he was talking about some ways to become a good leader and successor. It was quite a boring talk but still, I paid full attention as a respect and wrote down notes. Anyway what the talk said is true, it made sense. There was no such talks in last year's Camp FEAST, it is meant for Part Bs only.
After that we went for lunch, the food was rather nice, I managed to finish up everything.
After that we went for the orienteering talk, which was also absent in Camp FEAST. Basically they talked how to read maps (like recapping what we learnt in Geography lessons). We then got to walk uphill, downhill or flat ground to count our paces.
We were then supposed to go to our obstacle course, what unfortunately, it was cancelled due to stupid weather, what a pity! We then went to some room for some talks where we were supposed to introduce yourselves.
After that, we went to the MPH again for some talks again by the same officer. After finishing the talks, we went for dinner. The dinner was some noodles, the difference was that we got to see the Muslims break fast and ate with us.
After dinner, we went to the MPH again for the survival quiz where we were given a scenario and had to arrange the items needed for survival according to level of importance. I was embarrassed to say that our group did very badly.
we then went to the auditorium for some military movies. The movie was very boring as I did not really understand but the good thing was that I got to enjoy the air-con, very cooling...
After that, we had our supper and went to sleep. The sleep was terrible! Though with spongy beds and a pillow, I still could not sleep at all! Guess I was not used to it. I only slept for 5 hours...
To be continued...
