6:03 PM | CaMp Marathon 2009
I'm back from CAMP !
My first holding camp is a ... great experience for me !
Things that happen during the camp is also a good learning experience for me too.
aNd yes ! I gain alot thru this camp and i know that i did learn at least 1 things back from the camp. Happy to see the trainees improve for Junco and my Sec 1 did enjoy themselve in the camp.
This Camp was real tiring.. didnt get to close my eyes for like 48hrs plus.. and once i get to lay down... there goes my eyes closing !
5days without a proper rest till monday night when i'm back from zone meeting at NHQ.
But.. everything is worth it !
This camp... i hope is a learning camp for everyone.
Hope... it marks the start , Fresh start for EVSJ.
This is my very first camp which i put my 100% effort in it.
I willing to do more because.. i think of my cadets.
I willing to do more because.. i want my instructors to sense/ feel that i'm working hard.
I willing to do more because.. i want to make a difference for the corps !
I Believe I will !
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it, if you can dream it, you can become it.

3:02 AM | Reflection
Challenge is always ahead.
Either you give up or you think of ways to tackle it.
8 years of life in St John, frens around me asking me "Why are you still there?" repeatedly asking me ever since i grad from secondary school. "You like camp so much arh?"
aNd yes, i like camp! Cus every camp i went to, i learnt at least 1 new thing, i make new friends, i understand and get to know things which i didn't get to know in the past.
Back from Officer Training Camp this year, one of my greatest learning camp i had went to.
OnE of the things i learnt is...
"Never Lose Faith in Anione."
Taking up the role as an OIC isn't that easy but....
"I Choose to Believe i Can do It."
Cadets come to training every week is because they trust us !
What keeps me moving on is when.... they change for a better person as time goes by.
Ever Since i became instructor, my promise to my cadets is...
"If there is left with ONE cadets onli who is still keen to learn , i will still teach and guide !"
I'm Stress But I won't Give Up.

11:55 AM | 4 Days 3 Nite OTC camp !
I'm Back from Officer Training Camp , a 4days 3nights camp at Green View Sec.
nOt to be a trainees but.... A trainer there =)
This year OTC camp is a real different ! The content be taught, the way it had been conducted..
I did learnt alot from this camp, i bet the trainees tOo !
Beside contin... WILLIAM ! You rUn a Successful OTC camp this year !
4Days 3Nite OTC camp:
Day1: Book-in at ard 6plus and start running with the trainees with a total of 4.8km. After which, went to change up and meet up with my Regular Kakis - Secondary Fren at Tamp 201 for a short gathering as planned. Start to crap ard and start to plan for the next gathering. Phone rings...... Caling me back for meeting and there i went off. Start with some discussion and activities for tml and slp for 1 hr.
Day2: Woke up at 4.30am. Drive ambulance while others are running towards Pasir Ris park. (almost 1 year that i last drive) Hahahhaa... And back to GVSS with a total of 10 casualty in there. Went for some lecture conducted by Sir William. Content was gOOd. And i strongly feel that is just nice to be taught to the Officer-To-Be. And there goes my Ultimate Challenge 2009 which i had tasked to plan for the trainees. Passing Various Stations... is meant to make them shag out so that they can apply what they learnt from the past few lecture and used it right here ! "Believe You can do it, You will DO it" ! End everything with a total of 2800 Push-up share tgt with all trainers and trainees.
Day3: after a 2 hrs of sleep and back again for another 4.8km rUn with the trainees. Driving ambulance to and fro while the trainees are going thro lecture conducted by Sir William. Evening time.. Glad to see Daniel came, wHo is my "Sub" for driving ambulance. Had campfire , planned and conducted by the trainees. Performance for taniners tOO, MIxed Dance.... Planned by Gek Min and Zi Peng, Well done guys !! HAHA ! i was TangO Camp Hero... LOL ! Went ard the area for route march tgt with Yuanzheng and Daniel. Head back to camp and there goes without my slping time cus.... 2am need to be in the OPs room by then.
Day4: Route March from East Coast to GVSS. Total dist shld be ard 16KM. Was damn tiring... due to the change of pace which the trainees had gave. This was Once i slpt during route march. Eyes close and open and contin to walk fast ! Back to GVSS ard 8am, changed into Full-U straight for their passing-out for camp with a OTC rank. Once end, i lay dead on the table in my bunk STRAIGHT for awhile ! Wake up and start clearing and packing things and sending things back to various school etc.
Till here... You must be thinking... This camp is all abt Physical Training. My answer to you is NO ! This camp is more towards the way y0u think , Tacker your mentally.
Break out camp ! Had Lunch at Loyang Point MAC. Short Chat there before head home deadly..
As a trainer at OTC this year, Learnt alot.. Break thru my limit and telling myself that i CAN DO IT ! Beside that.. get to know a number of new and old frens there.. Old frens like....

OncE in the life time i feel that i Booked the whole bus 18 to EVsS ! Reason Been..... I was the onli passenger on board throughout the journey to EvSS bus stop whereby the bus i took wasn't the first bus !
Everything goes pretty fine in training ! Using action to prove that things can be done instead of using words all the time without any action been done.
Glad and happy that Juniors are learning and instructors are doing their part.
Like the feeling of everyone working towards the same goal and objective and that is doing to bring EvSJ to a next higher level !
People who knows me well enough will know that.. the sudden sparks will lead me to put my 100% in any task i am in but.. when the sparks in me gets smaller and smaller, passion of doing will get lesser and lesser, slower and slower.
