CCA resume.

Resumed CCA after Common test 3. Yesterday was physical training. Or more like a second chance for those who wish to improve. Gold NAPFA people in charge of each station. I was in charge for shuttle run. In the end, because sec 1s went for train fire and some sec 3s went to parliament house, very few came. So the teacher in charge just took care of all the stations. Left me pretty jobless and hella of a bored...

So I just wasted 3.5 hours there. In the end, the specs had to entertain themselves. We used the dice, meant to train the orienteering group, the fittest sec 2s. Kinda used the numbers to do push-ups. Eg. throw twice, ten-sided dice. number times number = push-ups to do. highest number gained was 81. Chances were 0.01%. But my friend got it. Still owes us 86 push-ups. hehe.

So yeah, that was it, really bored training.

National Day Carnival

8/8 Sunday. 2.45pm report there. Set up of stalls and stuff. Held behind school.Yeah, I know, pretty late already and stuff, but yeah...

2 stalls. "Dead or alive" and "NERF". I was manning the "Dead or alive" stall. 13 cups. 10 tries. Depending on the score, you get a prize. Sounds easy yes? Haha... We thought so too... The initial scores were quite high.Then when we tried it, we had to lower down the scores or it would be impossible. Prizes were biscuits, waffles, notepads w/ calender, mini sewing kit and electric hand-held fan.

For the "NERF" stall, we used the Vulcan Nerf gun. The one in the picture. (NOTE: The pic is not mine...) Customers had to shoot down little action figures to gain a prize. This one was easier. We thought this station would have loads more people than the station I was manning. Odd enogh, the station that I was manning had more customers. Hmm... Usually one would think that a station would have more customers if the equipment was better and more attractive. Then again, it may be because the banner was more on our side, thus attracting more customers...

Games started at 5pm. Had dinner before we started. I ate Hainanese chicken rice. (NOTE: The pic is not mine... neither was it the stall's chicken rice...) Quite decent considering the fact that the amount was more than most of the other stalls and that the tickets were really cheap. We got 1 free ticket each. 1 meal, 3 games, 1 luky draw. Lucky draw ticket was given to also receive a free goodie bag.

My father was invited to the dinner there w/ Dr Tharman. One of the VIPs there. 9pm we started packing up the stalls and by 10pm we were off! My father then fetched one of my friends and I home. Some pics during the carnival below. As the camera man, I'd obviously NOT be in the photos... Those are all my friends...

that's my principal there!

National Day Parade done!

National Day Parade today. 6:30am report to school. My father fetched me there. Was half an hour early, so my father went to McDonald drive through and got sausage mcmuffin meals. Ate in school. 6:30++, went with my senior to ensure that the markings for the contigents and parade commanders were in place. Aligned the marking et cetera.

Parade went out quite well. However, I had problems... The fiber glass rifle muzzle was too short. Was unable to switch hands with rifle to take pladge. Well it was quite hard to hold it 'cause there was nothing to hold. The front sight was not there. Was not much of a problem to me though. Then, lastly, the drain cover was bent. I tripped, but did not fall. However, it was in front of so many! How embarrassing!

Went to the hall for concert. Kinda boring. Sang National Anthem then released at 10am. That about it. Tomorrow I'll have to go to TJCC at 10am for preparations for Sunday festival. My father will be attending the dinner there while I'll be setting up the game stalls there. Haha! So, till then!

ND Parade

NDP upcoming. I'm in GOH as usual. Guns and gloves. Of course wooden rifle. Held in school. No biggy. Gonna get done and over with quickly. Not exactly sure when but I'll post up pictures of it as soon as it is done. I'll continue updating this with whatever trainings I got...

Anyway, I missed the last training, on Friday, 30/7. Had a dental appointment at NUH. Took too long, had to tell them I couldn't come. No problem since it was not NDP training... But I'll try not to miss such things if possible.
