Loads of things happened after my take over as a corp officer. Things weren't that smooth that I thought it could be. I have learnt and realised quite a lot of things. Conflict among humans, management, and the will power to withstand anger, unfairness and authority.
The waves occurred last week have finally been settled. A little encouragement from Mervyn really does make me happy.
Followed on will the NCO camp 2005 on the 8th of December.
It was memorable! Not to say very happy but the elements of fun, joy, sadness, anger, tiredness and sometimes loniness have made it all so complete.
First day --- it was supposed to be the preparation of the campsite and all the admin stuffs. Well, I was the assisstant admin and was really 'lucky' that it was to be in charge of all the typing, papers and money. No fun at all. Yet, I enjoyed the part where me, Aveline, Wei Lun and Choon Yuan were working together pasting newspaper on the window. That was entertaining! See how bored I am that day.
Later, me and the two guys sat down with the instructors and talked craps. Stuffs about cadets, rich kids and religions. Hmmm.
Sir Angus told me to go out to buy dinner so off i went with a pile of money in my back pocket. I found some joy with the cats on the way and back at the campus. Wei Lun was playing with one of the kittens and when we put him back into the bushes, it just followed him back. Haha. That was cute.
Second day --- boring day. Cadets falling in for first parade and it started raining. I was in charge of carrying all their valuables and sorting out of the admin stuffs and consficated items. Didn't really know what happen after that. Cadets have their lectures and stuffs. Oh yeah... I went for bunk check, this time I was not so strict, just dig out their bags and scolded one and two of them.
SUPPER TIME
Third day --- it was hiking at Pulau Ubin. I didn't go for the hike. I was put as the over- all in charge back in Bedok View. WOW! The school was mine with two others and casualties. I slept for a while, played cards with choon yuan, typed out the minutes for the previous meeting and went out to buy lunch. After lunch, I actually talked rubbish with the cadets and taught them how to make a double star using a rubber band. Amazed they were. Me too! >< At night, I got a chance to move out of the campus in the ambulance. I was told to accompany Siang Yee home. She was sick obviously. That night, I even found out that Sir Angus was my senior of Bedok South Primary. Haha. He was the 1991 badge if I did not remember wrongly. We have meeting until 2 sth midnight after that.
Fourth day --- the most unforgettable moment of my life.
It was my brother's birthday. I booked at around 0920 and went back home for GP tuition. After that me and family went to LONG BENCH to have seafood. GOOD FOOD! Chilli crabs, salad prawns, fish, plus plus plus... I love it.
Went back to campus at around two sth. They were having their team building games.
It was the best part of the whole camp. They need to satisfy us in order to get ROAR CARDS! ROAR CARDS... it makes me high... (those who know me know how horrible i can get) I make the cadets scream, shout and dance. They got entertained as well as me too. SUPERB. i love the centaur group. they were the best. =)
That night was campfire night. And I am the MC of the day. WOW... the campfire rocks because I am in there. But silly me has made a very silly mistake that ruined up my whole emotion. I have mixed up the camp commander and chairman. Sirs and mdms were sort of frustrated. It made me sad. I cried. Though they praised me later for my job well done. I think it was great, I meant real great besides that terrible mistake. A pat on my own shoulder. It has been my first and very best campfire.
Many people cried that day. Mdm Pei Pei got so miserable when Christina told her that she was going to quit. Regina cried beacuse she was too stressed up.
I have meeting till 0300 sth midnight.
I was the DO (duty officer) the next day. I got to plan my timetable. Together with Sir Han Wee, we walked around the whole school -- planning the area cleaning programme next day (that day). Slept at around 0445 and woke up at 0515.
It was the first time I have so little sleep. Terrible.
Asked cadets to fall in the morning and all I remember was that I kept scolding and scolding. I think the course IC of the day was quite stressed up too. haha. The cadets owned about 350 jumping jacks and I have managed to clear 90 that morning. Success.
Everything went smoothly after that. =) Wee...
At least, I was not blur. =)
Break camp! We wrote autographs for eachother.
Me as an officer. Too much of a reponsibility. I might be getting tired but I know that you guys are there to boost me on =)
