23rd senior nco training camp
~pain is temporary, pride is forever, SNCO~

mercury team7 rock. evelyn kristin carmen chinghui kristian tecksoon jeremy yingbing staff cheowhong mam yanni

thursday- fall in at 730 to mark the start of camp. altogether abt 80 sec3 people there from eastview, dunmanhigh, tampines, chungcheng, orchidpark, peicai. bedoksouth blah..

damn sian at first.. den something super interesting hapned. i took over course ic from wkk.. he announced my name.. my first reaction was what the hell then i fall out and i became course ic for camp day one..wanted to be ordinary then got that.. super shocked.. just did my job.. we had games the whole day.. like activity camp n not training camp.. team and platoon ones. human checker games den the players carry canteen benches. lunch. and then in afternoon we ad parade rehearsal for the iniation that will take place. had course exam also.

iniation too place at night. then we had bunk inspection. greattt. me the course ic ran around everywhere standardizing everything.. along with the ambulance platoon ics.. actually i dont mind bunk inspection at all.. nv did.. much better then activation. just damn tiring to run everywhere. inchek checked and of course not happy so i juz kept running ard the whole night. we brought everything down to carpark and standardize too. in de dark. saw hongwei junyang n lpl.. they came to visit. wish they were in charge at least feel home-ly. then firedrill at night. supper. and we slept at around 1. i woke up at 4 to have sentry duty which is to walk around the entire school. slept damn little.

friday- i was feeling pissed and awaiting the ic to change. but meanwhile i just did my job during breakfast.. morning pt. got instructions to change to yongqing from eastview. super happy cos finally can rest! it was area cleaning. mercury clean hall. situational test which is mini activation was next. proud of mercury cos we did well. i was first aid post ic so i treated injuries. jeremy with me. incheks all casualties =p damn shuang to know that we did well. they gave sit test 4hr slot cos each team take half hr. we were first team cos my team only 7people. we slack n slack n sing alot of songs while waiting.. super fun.. during that period bonded with my team. lame tecksoon. funny jeremy. enthu kristian and evelyn. chinghui me kristian from dhs. shuang time man.. after that was lunch. boring moi with ppl like kristian presenting was funny.

endurance training HA. 100 jumping jacks continuous den run abit then 1000 oumpings in hall. circuit pumping. all hold n do in ambulance style. we held in tt position for 1hr. alot of ppl cant take it i could leh. ithink SEC last yr jnco worse. but mich ch sally all dont think so. anyway.. platoon1 cheaterbugs man.. haha.. platoon2 we guys did ambulance pumpings. rawking time cos i dont think i will ever hold in ambulance pumping 1 hr again.

dinner, then bunk inspection. so we quickly clean all areas n standarize toothbrush n evrything else. FUNNY part here coc de inchek purposely find fault with ME and huishaung n a few other trainees. suppose to report to sir william, it was a trick. other corps ppl had this happening before. bunk inspection was preparin for activation. 8 of us supp to report to sirwilliam is actually cos we casualties. duno why we given chances to slack this way. so me n shuang super happy. i really dun like activation, i rather bunk inspection many times, n of cos the guys like krstian and wenbin got posts.. n they very happy cos they treat it as a game.
i went back to my bunk at level 3and lie down cos i had cardiac arrest. soon enough, activation started and val jasmine they all came to find me. then they got strecther team up and sam dickson chenrui n other corps ppl ferry me down. shuang.. always been doing activation n now i'm a casualty.. damn shuang to act dead, i was in FA post n ppl treat me.

supper, then defaultess for my platoon. cos of dressing problems. it was okay, not as bad as jnco. so i had fun. tryign to think like aloysius so i had fun marching crap.. haha..got to sleep at 11 plus. bunk4 dhs gals chat for 1hr first, very intersting yiwei journal. sally n me amused to death. suddenly firedrill. so we dashed down. then we came up n really went to sleep. eh 4hours of sleep.. it was very good already..

saturday- change of course ic to lionel from team3 i think. he is really good. downtown hunt today. my favourite activity in the camp because of team bonding. the only reason i like snco is cos of mercury. really. tecksoon was damn amusing.. with his slang.. with his jokes.. jeremy was super strong n he persevere on.. he is super respected by me. evelyn is motivator for our team. chinghui kristin n me is gossipers n chatty girls..~ our platoon oic follow my team. he is very very nice really.

we walk without any transport. from eastview to loyang point. to tampines sunplaza park. to bedok reservoir. to bedok central. not veyr tiring compared to other teams so i thank god for that. bedok central was amusing.. crowded place. yingbing tecksoon throw ball n turn rounds. jeremy bounce ball and say command. ch kristin eve dance lyk ballerina n sing song. me n kristian did tango dance and pose for picture.

on our way back we cheer n cheer n sing chirstmass new yr songs n other songs. wear poncho. inchek follow us. we pushed jeremy along. nice time. we were second las grp but no one cares. everyone thank us because of the fact we are late and activation cannot take place.. phew~! had mini bunk inspection. and then prep for campfire.

buffet dinner. campfire was nice for group1 and 3 performance was nice. i really like this camp only cos of new friends, whether close ones or just those u smile to cos u know. eastview guys are the most interesting.. haha.. tecksoon yongqing ken who is super lame and shearnchong..

wash up and get ready all our backpacks. n then go sleep. i spend alot of time tidying myself up and writing journal but i cant beat sally's long entry=p go to sleep. all of us woke up at 2am for route march

sunday- route march at 2am. walk from eastview to changi village there. shortened cos of the rain. thank god they have this policy of not walkin when its raining. weird one because jnco i walked in the rain. it the toughest to me personally, because of the speed they walking. its damn tiring. somemore my legs so short. i walk infront. still had difficulty catching up. i really thank evelyn kristin jolie and cheowhong n my platoon oic for encouragement. fun time whatsoever.

killer speed thanks to sir phillip who is freaking fast. zone comissioner very old but damn fit he help us slow down speed for return journey by tellin sir phillip cant reach there earlier then 40 minutes. back to sch around 5 plus.

bathed cos we dirty from rain. all of us dying of stench. uniform sweat and wear 4days nv change. my one all brown cos i lie on the gravel road cos i casualty for activation. funny yiwei kept complaining. it was like tt.. breakfast. area cleaning. footdrill and first aid MOI. i think i pass both, hopefully. esp footdrill i didnt do well i feel. lunch was cup noodles. but who cares, i was anticipating to go home. sinee and kristian felt the same so they both veyr hyper =p ohyahhh.. chinghui was course ic.. and also meiying from chungcheng. yiwei for 4hrs only. sir keeleong damn longwinded and bossy. but do things veyr fast soit was good.

debrief then break camp at 3. took pictures.. talk abt camp. basically by now, the entire camp knows kristian and xiaowen because they damn lame..

debrief with team itself i felt very pissed off. basically a bad way to end the camp. 5 chocolates give those who did well. what abt the rest who didnt do well. damn crap the mam yanni. who is she to be so bluntly unfair. everyone did their part. mercury are all good people. disgusting.i dont care i just dont liek her. nv say it out but i think she act cute. her jokes aint funny. always say she assessing us.. make me feel like she hypocrite. dont really know us well. and she is biased. yucks man.. just with tt i feel sad when i end camp.

thats about it all. snco aint tough. jnco is definitely tougher. i always been critisizing ppl n i noe im quite bad.. cos all in all, the two incheks are nice people. the other corps people are interesting. and other sirs and mams too. i really love mercury peeps~


to end it off.. slept for only 12 hours so i'm gonig for more after this. i woke up today to go to school. but i stupidly left late. i was late to go to school to just talk to my sec1s before their camp. i ran to school so fast. breathless man. haha..think that i said what's been in my head.. i just hope tt it penetrates their hearts and makes a difference to them.. hope it makes sense too.. wish i could do more.. although it was just a short talk but hope i still did something good. dickson late until they left le then he come. damn funny =p

then i went off le~ just went for lunch n stuff~

ohyah, mam sheryl called me yesterday n said sir hongwei allow us to do nightwalk. i lvoe him to bits. i hope we do a good job and i'm very excited about it. the only question in my mind now is... who is going to be the zhenzi in the hall.. haha.. my sqd nursings wun even dare at al.. sheesh.. =p

tomorrow is JNCO. Junior NCO training camp for sec2s. wish them luck. wish me luck. wish my pathetic legs luck. wish it doesnt hurt. today is the only break.. gonna miss home too.. i will be back on this saturday.. cya~
