>Back from the POP camp yesterday. I shall than depict this camp from, erm, Friday.After Cross Country which ended around 10+ 11? I reached home at.. around 11+ 12. It was tiring and i slept on the bus. hehs.so after lunch and around 1.30, I reached school.Seeing XJ polishing his boots there outside the general office.-.-And later on, we went for our Service day where we went to the blocks and spread the anti-crime message to the old residents there.There were many houses which were empty and my group encountered a uncle who was speaking hokkien.Though i knew the language, but well, there were some parts which i do not understand as well. Chiminology.This is what I say about half past sixes Singaporeans. Everything is just like 50%.
Ok, back to the main point, after service day, we made our way back to the school and we were going to have our promotion test, practical and theory.We had our theory paper first. It was 15mins long. There was a total of 6 Qns i think. The first one was some sort of case study and you were supposed to write what you would do. I wrote all types of variation that I could think of and how to resolve it. A wrong move.After the qn, i moved on to the next question.When there were 3mins left, I was still left with 4 questions! i than rushed and do, but in the end, i still left 2 or 3 questions blank. A bad start. But some others didnt finished 2 questions as well.
So we proceeded to the practical session, MOI (Method of Instruction). It is basically about how to teach a certain command. I had volunteered 4 times to do do the MOI first but well, it was the forth time than our CI(cadet inspector) called me out. I was given to teach the marching command and I guess I didnt leave anything out ya? You guys certainly co-operated well.3 cheers for sec 4s!=) So after we finished our MOI, we went to changed and for dinner.For dinner, we cooked ourselves and this certainly raked back the good and fun times in ATC.
After dinner, it was games time! The Sec3s planned everything throughout the camp. Well, they certainly did quite a good job for a first-timer! But well, you guys could improve on some communication part.I shall not describe too detail about games if not, it well be very lengthy.
There were mainly 5 stations. The first one was to arrange yourself on a bench depending on how the in-charge(IC) wants you to do, than it would be the at the hall where we would have to carry a group member and give a cheer.Thrid would be to have your group member over the the other side of the place by have 2 twines and 4 poles. Forth would be to pass water using cups. But theres a catch, you are supposed to hold the cup using your mouth, or mayb, bite. But as expected, major cheating took place! LOL!than it would be to form a circle and everyone was to squat a little bit and the person in front of you was to sit on your lap. mayb not sit.
So we than moved off to the last stop and supposed to open some kind of "treasure" box. lolsBut i didnt know what happened after that as i moved off to pitch the flagstaff.I can say that this would be the best flag that we ever pitched. Kudos to the 3 of us! So after that, we went to the hall and the others went to bath. while most sec 4s were there polishing boots for the POP the next day.I went to further maximise the shine on my boots and it went to the maximum. could not be anymore shinier=(.
So after that, it was sentry time. my group was the first one and it was 12.30. we were late due to unable to find a member of ours. Didnt know where did he slept and it was also because of someone giving me wrong info! so well, after sentry, i didnt do much things cept at there talking cock. Should have brought ms soon's hw. but well, when it was 2+ 3 i guess, went to catch some sleep.
The arrival of 6.30 has came and i woke up at that time. Should be 6.30 i guess.We had our PT, breakfast and than area cleaning. After this, the 3 of us unpitched the flag and later went on to help to prepare the next game- (water bomb).The game was kinda fun and quite a few got throughly wet! haha! but none could exactly hit me witht he "water bomb" hehs.*dodges*=Pso after that, the sec 3s and 4s went to change into full-U for the POP(passing out parade). But before the actualy parade, it was the giving out of the Staff Sergeant rank! My heart was beating frantically cause I had not much confidence. It was scary as they gave out the rank according to when you took your MOI.I was the 6th one i guess.The first one was louise and so on. I remembered that Gi Tiong was the one before me who took the MOI. He got the rank. And my mind was already set that, if my name isnt called the next one, i would not get the rank.To my surprise and joy, I was called to receive the rank!! WOOHOO.IT WAS THE HIGHEST POINT OF JOY! So 6 of us was being promoted but there are still 6 others whom are still pending.Congrats to Louise, GT, Zaki, Nurrizan(im not sure of spelling) and XJ!Furthermore, Congrats GT for being best unit and XJ for being SI. Well, the others do not be discouraged as well, cause from now till speech day(7th of april), there's still time!Work hard.Other than rank, Congrats to whole of Sec 4s for getting 2nd class drill as well!=)
So after the slow march, which means we had passed out, we could throw our baret! wahhaha.and till 12pm, we could walk without our baret even not in the shade!=DDDDDD
but well, after returning home and eating lunch, i went to sleep!and after waking up, as expected, whole bady ached.

Quotes
"if someone loves you,
love them back not only because they love you,
but also because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes
to things you have never seen or felt without them."
(ripped from solasura-honz)
As you envelope my mind,
thoughts are all about you.
I hope that you could walk into the ghost of me.
My heart have been delievered to your doorstep, do you accept this mail?
Could you pull out some time for me
and give both of us a chance to be together.
Waiting isn't a problem,
losing you would be the biggest trauma I would get.
May this day where our hearts bond together come soon.
Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope and patience never fail. Love is eternal.
A recollection of poetry
"Twilight funeral"
Blackened and cold is the dusk
A veil where the shadows watch
Behind the dim requiems of light
When blindness envelopes our eyes
Silent and unholy is the dusk
A hole where the demons smirk
Beyond the clutters of human life
When deafness embraces our ears
Sable nothingness is the dusk
A shroud where the ravens flock
Tainting the purity of white clouds
When darkness devours our hearts
Inevitable death is the dusk
A cloak where the daggers hide
Under the facade of tranquility
When mortality is but a quip
- Solasura
"Muted Joy"
Words appearing before aquamarine eyes,
Inner warmth awakened.
Coldened heart was melted,
returning to its liquidfied state.
Hopes of rain fallen,
sheltered by feelings.
Flooded everywhere,
but not a single drop here.
Tune rings by the ears,
Emotions being mixed up.
Weak and deplorable,
Just takes the shape of you.
Ensnared by you,
Unintentionally or intentionally,
unable to be freed,
till Reaper's Scythe appears.
Which will appear first, rain or scythe?
"Solitude"
Time flies when words strung out,
numbing the bitter nerve.
Defrostation took place,
Everything seem to be in summer,
From the frosted white fingers,
darkness in the heart,
you brought warmth and light.
Turning upon an unretaliatable liquid.
Just as words strung out once again,
froze all happiness in me.
Bitterness awakened,
Negligible autumn, forver winterness.
Eclipse seems to take place forever.
Light and warmth never took place,
Darkness and chill,
mutated the mind into an unfeeling solid.
When solitude occurs, does anyone bothers?
- Takizawa
