back from

1st Advanced NCO training camp
~one squad one spirit~
nirvana youthling destined acid

Feeling hyper now because i have rested enough, slept about 1 hour each night during this ANCO JNCO camp held from tuesday to saturday and that was pure torture. but now when the camp is over thinking back i had no regrets going and my squad girls will probably find me gay saying this.. we complain every moment but there really are enjoyable moments..

tuesday: opening parade i was the master of ceremony like my jnco. sounds damn seh, but its MC thats all.. was bugging qiaoping and mam jiayi for sash and i got it =p

then we went AVT and stuff for meetings.. youthling and most of the people went off in evening for NAFTA test n east coast beach run. me keong amer evadne wb was in medic room with grace the entire time..

and then i went to cut honeydew for dinner which was my first time doing it and it looks like baby food cos i cut too much =p AVT meeting after dinner, then acid went for situational test. every plan for stretcher medic sentry duty screwed up so destined came up with a new good one~

destined duty was from 4am so me and eugene went to canteen and the rest to medic room. this was the day with 3 hours of sleep.

wednesday: my sec ones came for camp. my squad was very slack. we had no mood to do anything. and i remember mam linda being very disappointed with us.. cried.. we got punished too~ fierce treatment by lpl and sir huawei, stand by bunk and footdrill and touch the lampost. after that at least we wake up abit.

mutual drill slot was triage for us.. sir marcus wrote on the AVT board RED ALERT and we chiong to change into full uniform, they not happy so we change into ptkit, full uniform, ptkit.. sally sinee mich me want to chiong for stretcher team~ sinee became FApost ic so valerie work with us. i gonna die after saving two people. so i do FA post stuff. re-did triage because it wasnt well done.

lunch, then we had 2hrs to get ready for the jnco's activation in the Anco planning room. me and sally book out for guitar. pampered ourselves abit. i used TM toilet shuangly. then i slept outside yamaha for about half an hour. after my lesson ended it was 7pm. me and sally did something very memorable but wouldnt say here.. fun =p my mum fetch us back to school, i didnt bring toothbrush n toothpaste n someone* needed torch so my mum brought all.. slept in the car like a pig.

dinner, hike preparation for next day. pack the bags with rations and water bottles. the rest mostly done by de 3 guys in destined. hike briefing by wkk n junxiang.

woohoots because next was NIGHTWALK. smc1 all very tired.. i felt sad abt it. after they bathed and we came down at 12 midnight the smc1 guys hyper again. especially xiaowen and kristian.. we prepared all our stations. scary scary.. mam sheryl and belinda are very funny cos they very scared. she said it was as scary as her nightwalk. i dont really think so.. i feel its your personal opinion. some of the sec1 girls cried when sir alvin told the stories. kelly and elvina say its not scary. biqi cheryl huifen tinghui were very scared at my station, the hall with the funeral procession.

i was with kristian at hall, the last station. he is a pig. he sleeps n sleeps n sleeps. so i have to stay awake to wait for them to come. you ask him to wake up because you want to sleep, that is the toughest thing to do because he wun budge. mosquitos were everywhere.

slept at 5am after the whole nightwalk ended.. woke up at 6am. 1 hour sleep day. but i did not regret at all. nice experience.

thursday: hike at bukit timah. destined rock my world because we got an interesting path led by lpl. bashing in the path-less areas. not those hiong path which is very steep which other groups walk. bashing is super fun and junxiang wrecked all the branches, sir pialeong skipped around, so many thorns, eugene fell, me and amer struggling, so many giant ants. sir marcus also came along. saw the rifle range area. heard the shots. fun time.

before we set off for hike. i was dying in school. i really cant open my eyes. even when people talk to me. because 4hr sleep in 2 nights was terrible. thk god for the time to sleep in the bus trips to and fro bukit timah hill.

jnco went off for their 12km route march. kianyong went with them which is very necessary.. thats why he is an SC~ that guy was shagged after he came back with them. in the meantime mam linda let us have an afternoon nap. 2hr nap in ou bunks after we bathed. super shuang.

dinner, then for the next 12 HOURS we were re-planning their sit test. which means from 8pm-4am. yes.. no exaggaration. sit in Anco room and plan.. get rejected then plan again.. then in between got supper break. then at 3am plus we go bring all the tables n canteen benches out.. super hiong on the mental aspect. only a few ambulance could take it. nursings all dying. all falling asleep. sir hongwei provided coffee.. my squad all drank coffee.. i felt hyper after coffee and sang alot of songs with the gals~ 2am song when 2am arrived.. many lame jokes cracked n stuff to pass time.. cursing them on the gals part for depriving us of sleep.. i was going to sue them and find ms khoo.. haha.. memories la~ after which from 4am we sleep till 5 plus... another 1 hr plus sleep =/

friday: my sqd woke up late for flag raising. 20 pumpings only. guity stricken. sir hongwei really very lenient. we exhausted but still not very right of us. ohwell. after breakfast, we prepare for the sit test. went to obstacle course. move tables n canteen benches there. the guys made the ropes and everything.

went to prepare our individual stations. the jncos had activation then they came to our sit test already. sir weiloong was in chrage of my station. his motivational speeches make me feel lyk crying. really i was going to. smart jncos took bandages before stretcher. abt 1hour plus passed.

they went to obstacle course. then i got to know abt nicky, nicholas's friend. and also yiwei with his nametag on his spectacles. inchek n all de officers laughed at nicky. its damn funny i feel.. a stick poewhich is nicholas buddy. he has to cross the obs course with nicky. lpl made him give nicky hi-five. n ask nicky jiayou. the girls in sec2 squad r pro and admired. they just give their hearts in everything they do. n they crossed the bs course together as one.

lunch, then they went to build their structure. and we went to Anco planning room to get ready for activation again. we played many games because there was time, squad bonding~ i went to lie with michelle on the second floor, near mr kiw office. i fell asleep. the next thing i know, zhengwei yiwei junkiak stretcher me to FA post. they put me in p3.. i supp to be in p1.. cant sleep anymore cos around me junxiang amerlyn yiwei wb sam all damn noisy and funny.. esp junxiang.. conscious casualties that keep making noise.. raise hands for their turn to go into ambulance =p

the entire sit test that we planned was very well-runned. i think my squad planned it well and i'm proud of it.. although it was mostly done by the guys.. hrm.. three cheers for all of us.

dinner, then social night. it was boring. we set up the area, and de best part was mass dance i feel. fun n short though. my squad did defaultess. not very tough. punishment for acid's carelessness and also the wind's fault. totally the wind's fault but nvm~

supper, then we couldnt sleep again. we had to plan SEC again. i felt high again after drinking coffee. sang songs alot. after planning we suppose to do a rehearsal and really conduct a SEC. i didnt mind.. sally mich sinee too~ first time we so enthu.. duno why =p amer they all dying already. but anyway in the end, all of us got to sleep at about 1am.

sleep awhile and woke up at 330am. went to lie around again for their activation. i lie around 2j area. pingyen yiwei zhengwei etc came to save me. pingyen is now someone i kan till quite shuang. alot of people feel so too~ so anyway, yepp.. i wish i was lighter. they were dying while carrying me. weiquan was scolding them n askin them to run. run with me on stretcher. i really feel pain for them. then i slept on foyer awhile n the same guys plus NICKY transported me to ambulance area.

after activation cut. i feel more pain for sec2s. because they think it is all over. we got ready for SEC which is sectional endurance course at about 6am. i was medic team for diamond. a team which i really respect and admire with all my heart, 4man team, last to set of, first to reach school. girls keep crying, grace keep scolding n motivatin yizhuang to blv in herself, they keep cheering, they nv let go of stretcher, advisors n jianli keep shouting at them to keep going. its like a drama serial, show their true self. they walk very long all the way to kallang mac there.

den disappointement in myself came back again because i flopped SEC last yr. sian to think about it. because it was a sian way to end jnco~ anyway thru all that i almost cry during their SEC too. very touched really =p especially when i motivate diamond, wengsoon n junkiak n tianleng n yuhan. a bunch of juniors i respect deeply.

saturday: area cleaning. destined clean up medic room briefing room meeting room. me amer eugene junxiang move the bed back to sickbay, then qiaoping taught me how to bun my hair.. new better method~ my hair must really suck to be noticed by her =p the day pass slowly. we end everything by 2pm.

the extent we tired until is like.. when they leave us alone in the avt for abt 15 minutes the entire squad will fall asleep. sam slept so i followed. then when i woke up every one sleeping.

can still rememebr evry night kristian will go toilet to sleep for half an hr. n dickson singing songs with me evry time im bored. n yiwei's generous dinner from her mum for the entire corps. sushi.. potato salad.. n pizza from rations on the last night.

yepp.. all i mentioned are the moments i enjoyed for the camp.. as for whether i feel tt i have advanced.. i think it can be seen quite obviously.. not much. hongwei looks disappointed during last parade. linda looks disappointed right up to the last day. everything is over for now. no feelin to think too much. i just wish that we dont need to keep dissapointing this two nice OICs.

ohyea on saturday when i came back we celebrating coleman's bdae with my cousins in advance. full of chirstmass pressies under my chirstmass tree. nice time with them although i was whacked out by fatigue. so i slept quite early ater singing my bro's bdae song. my little cousins who i love alot all open presents very cutely the way my mum say. so sad i wasnt there.

finally~ things can be back to normal. i enjoyed ANCO no matter what. a chance to know more abt the std2s who i never knew much about. indeed i respect those who went for jnco. all the best to them~
