well back to wat i'm up to lately. oh forgot to mention abt 12 june evac gold
accred. thot it was going to be tough but hey it was fun. ambulance drill...
making of improvised stretchers and moving across obstacles. during the
making of improvised stretchers, my partner was lugan. lol. so fun. lucky nvr get
lower than my cadet. phew. but pretty happy wif my score of 84.15 :]

next back to NDC from 18-20.

18.06.04, friday
Well cadets were late for camp... then instructors were rushed to ops rm so didnt
see what went on. starting as quite chaotic, especially the part 'no grounding of
cadets before lunch', then 'only DI can scold, the rest try and cut down' so even
maintain discipline is kinda hard.

today was a bz day for me. in charge of so many stuff... but nevertheless enjoyed
it la cos its all my fields of interest. day 1 had campcraft for 3 hrs, then rck
lecture an hr. then still got outdoor cooking for 2.5 hrs. schedule followed
quite tightly till night trek. it was real fun. the grp i in charge of finished
first and only one to complete. but hey some instructors didnt believe. thot me
and miao ling gif them hints. yes the grp want to win but they dun resort to
asking for hints from us k! dont underestimate the cadets.

2nd day i was the DI (duty instructor). after a hectic day, i woke up at 4.30am
went to bathe in super cold water. then wake up the rest. had flag raising. wei
shan was wif me also. so funny. [u noe why right? lol] Day 2 was crazy. going ECP
at 0630. then got campfire in the evening. a lot of unhappiness but later resolved.
before campfire, andy sir came and had a gd talk... then campfire prep was so
messy. I got a Day IC. erm dun wanna comment, the instructors shld noe. cant
scream at them before the campfire cos 'their morale is high'. so everything haf
to be in talking terms. so when i had to rush them, i told them to hurry up for
dunno so many times, but still i was told to hurry them.

but in the end managed to release my wrath on them. so angry... the whole day as DI
wah... for campfire had to help set up. set up bbq pit also. cook for instructors
who said they were hungry... in the end left only a few eating. the rest left there
nvr washed... understand how miao ling feels. i cook. we eat. i clean up. great :]
rely too much on the term IWC i think.

RCK accred haiz. disappointing. wanted to find out how to improve the paper and
the lesson so it will be more efficient. but hey following strictly to the time
was more impt. muz lights out at 2330. so muz end at 2300. Juz feel rather suppressed,
i noe wat i am doing. in the end i finished it at 2307. then in the end i was
told to tell them lights out at 0000 so they can study if they want. erm. at the
back giving me that 'wat are u doing? hurry up.' look for the 7 mins? haiz.

20.06.04, Sunday
yup last day doing evac was fun. realised they nid lots of polishing up. but best
part i think was when my 2 punggol cadets nominated for best campers together wif
the other 3. and they spoke up a lot during debrief. i so happy cadets can speak
up which is so hard to get nowadays.

after that went to bedok mac to eat. had so much laughter wif ys, eusoff,
wei shan, yuhui and shu hui [mini-me] yeah. left at 2130. reach home taking
the freezing bus 87.

21.06.04, Monday

22.06.04, Tuesday
yeah delta grp outing... so fun. was kinda late cos went to support indra's ISD
exhibition at bishan CC. ya he such a gd booth coordinator. explaining all
the stuff. got a left sore eye. did the usual 'OMG' stunt. took off the left
contacts. so i basically see things wif one eye. around the way in 80 days was
nice. pleasantly amusing not the super funny type. then went to TKGS campfire.
diamonds in the rough seems like the theme for yr 2001. was rather short. but
had a great time. chat up wif royce ya, knew him better. :]

Gee... so long nvr step into HQ. i miss the people.
