BMT excursion trip

My class went with the JC1 cohort to the BMTC (Basic military training center) at Pulau Tekong. i really enjoyed myself with the class there.

We had to take a ferry there. Really dislike the waters especially when the ferry goes up and down.

Waiting for the Ferry=)

At the jetty. (feeling bored with the crazy faces)

Anyways we had a briefing by 1 of the officers who also shared his experience in the army. It was really interesting. we had several different stations to go to and our first was the bunks where the recruits sleep. It looks kinda nice and neat so i don't think i would mind when i enter BMT. next we went to this cool place where we could try the SAR 21. It was awesome and cool! I shot well only after realizing how to properly aim. I think that was the most exciting part of the excursion.

We then headed to the obstacle course where a recruit demonstrated how to complete each obstacle. They then let us try the monkey bar and rope climbing as we call it. (im not sure what the real name of it was) Anyways there was 2 that volunteered and i was chosen. WAH!!! not sure why they chose me. But i was certainly surprised. Anyways i was ask to try the monkey bar. Crap i did it kinda slow, the bar was really slippery. But i'm glad i completed it. =) my class cheered me on too. haha so nice of them.

ok, the next station was not a foreign station to me as i had tried some of the things there. It was the ration food and camouflaging cream station. I did not try the food ration as i tried it before. But i definitely had the camouflaging cream on my face. At first my face was clean without any cream then suddenly Yan Ning wipe some black cream on my face. I realized that all her classmates had some on either try face or arm. Hahas. Gabriel had his face all painted so i decided to have mine too. It was actually not that bad as i expected. Quite cool by the way. Here's a pic.

Thats me with the green face=)

Our last station was the equipment station. Nothing much there just that you get to try on the uniform, feel how heavy or 'light' the bagpack is and how heavy or 'light' the real rifle is.
About 30 mins later, we were back at the jetty to take the ferry back.

On the Bus back!

On the whole i really enjoyed this experience there. Feel kinda lucky to actually see for myself what i would expect when i enter the army. For your info, Pulau Tekong is 1 degree higher that singapore. The Camou cream was not that easy as i thought to remove.

JC1 Camp was fun!

We went to the Jln Bathera campsite for our 3 day 2 night camp. At first i thought that i would not enjoy it that much as our class itself was not very bonded. But later i found out that we were very lucky as our groups were by class but the other campsite was mixed. Imagine our groups were mixed it would have been worst. Anyways, we started of with some ice breaker games called "steady tempo ready go!" it was quite hard to coordinate the words and actions at first but after a while it got quite easy and super fun! Though Lena could not exactly master the game yet. Hehe=X We had our lunch soon after. OH MAN!!! the portion they gave for lunch was like for a mouse. I could almost finish the portion with just 1 mouth. That was how little it was (no wonder the camp was free) Hehe. it was the same for all the meals. I think i got used to the small portion by the end of the camp.

This is where we have our meals =)

We had low level elements next. Our first game was Rebirth which was quite cool! The Objective of the game was to transport 1 person through a tire without touching it. Not even the transporter. Almost everyone had a try at it which includes me. I was the last to be trasnsported which means that the supportes would have been quite tired. But i still trusted them and yes! i am glad that they manage to transport me (the longest person) across. =) our next activity was low wall and high wall. To be honest, it was the first time i have actually tried climbing over such a wall. Being tall, i thought it would be easy as i could run and jump up to get across. However the instructor mention that we could not do that instead we had to support and push each other over the wall. It was definitely a great experience as we completed it way faster than the timing set. ALL THE WAY 0924A!!!

Nothing much after that just dinner and night activity. OH! Night activity was kidnapped. Basically one of our class mate was being kidnapped and we as a class had to go and find the person. There was a search party organise while the rest of the class would solve a puzzle to find out the clue. As the person being kidnapped was locked up, we need to complete different activities to get a chance to guess which number our locked belong to. We were not so lucky as only until the 5th or 6th try did we manage to guess our lock number correctly. Overjoyed, we quickly ran to unlocked the kidnapped person. But because we were too excited we drop the key into the drain. Luckly it had not rain and the drain was dry so we were able to pick the key out from the drain. The night ended with supper and debrief b4 we were allowed to sleep. Oh! BTW i 4 got to bring my sleeping bag so it was seriously cold during the night! Woke up many times cause i was feeling uncomfortable and cold. Did not have a good rest.

Next day was a full of activities or so i thought. We started of with land expedition after breakfast which was again like budget portion. Anyways when we headed off for our land expedition i was the navigator. At first i did not expect our class to complete all the 7 stations. In the end due to time extension WE DID IT and also return back the 1st! Good Job 0924A! It was kinda sad as gabriel left earlier on and did not get to join us. During the land expedition we had to many farms of which one was a frog farm. It was my first time trying FROG Essence. If any of you have tried chicken essence, frog essence taste a little sweeter.

With our previous instructor Hadley =)

We came in first for the land expediton!
thats our instuctor Song Woon at the back next to me =)

Up next was lunch and then sea expedition. Sadly it rained out and we did not get to do the sea expedition. Instead we practiced our dance for our campfire performance. I was really glad that our whole class participated. I could see that our whole class really enjoyed the practice though it was kinda a disaster during the actual performance. But we really enjoyed it. The CAMPFIRE was GREAT! Every group meaning every class performed either a skit or dance or both. It was a great entertainment to watch. At the end of the campfire, they announced that those grps that had not have their sea expedition would be doing it tmr morning just a little shorter. My class screamed with gladness. Almost gone deaf after that. HAHA!!! ^^ we were also given a later sleeping time too which was great as we could interact more with our group mates and also pack our stuff. Really want to thank stephanie for helping out in the choreograhy of the dance and for the rest of the class for actively participating in all the games.

The next morning was a rush. we had to gather at the multi purpose hall with all our things ready. Breakfast was the best as we had fried rice and it was my first time taking a second portion! i was really hungry. We soon headed for the sea expedition. To our surprise we paddle our kayak for less than an hour. But i must be grateful that they actually made this extra time for our sea expedition. We left the camp at about 11 30/12.

I really missed the camp alot!!! especially when our class had finally gotten together for the first time to do activities.

Exams

Haha=) This is kinda late but just for memory.

Exams started on 7 oct!!! Only started my serious revision like 1 week before exams cause the teachers were still going through the syllabus=( Anyway first 2 papers was English and Chinese. Haiz, did not have time to prepare for these 2 papers. So just went to take the exam. Anyways, for compo it was kinda easy as i sorta did the question before. Compre was also kinda easy as i could understand the passages. But that was what i thought.

Anyways, right after the exams, i remembered going home to sleep or something. But i remebered that i did not study that day. Next day did not need to go school as I was not taking the paper that day. YAY!!! had one day to study maths, which is basically what i did the whole day.

Next day, took maths exam. Crap!!! during the paper don't know how to do a few questions. Have to blame myself as i did not finish studying all the topics. AnywaysI went to OCC to play pool with Dennis's friends till like 8 or so. That was super late!!! Dennis stayed over at my house after that. We plan to study physics the whole of sat but went to church for conference in the morning and at night.

Haiz need to study for physics paper on Monday. In the end covered half of the topics. So i slept over at dennis house to finish studying the rest that night. Barely had any time so just practice questions. Super stress by then=(

Oh no monday came quite fast thought i knew i was not fully prepared. Took the paper and after the paper i realize i thought too far for one question which cost me 5 marks. By the way, the MCQ was kinda hard during the paper and i paniced a bit after the MCQ. Quite dunb to do that. The worst thing after this paper was that i had to rush home to study 2 H2 content subjects!!! Geography and Chemistry. Got home and thought for a while on where should i start my revision. Oh dennis came over to my house to study Chem also. In the end, i took a huge risk to just study CHEM=X oh i hope my geog teacher does not see this.

Anyways studied Chem the rest of the day with dennis till like 10.30. Then dennis had to head home. Slept at about 11.30 as i was still trying to cover a few topics more for Chem!. Next morning, woke up relatively early to go to school to study. Not sure whether it was effective, but i tried to cover more question. When the time for exam came, i knew i was not fully prepared. But i decided to do my best!. After the paper i felt kinda good as i manage to complete the paper!!! I was quite happy as during summer test i did not complete the paper. And that is not all, for this paper, i manage to finish the paper and still had time to go through it.

Ok When Chem paper was over, i rush to a classroom to study Geography. Oh btw, i sorta carried a heavy bag full of my geog notes. Anways during the 1 hour interval btw Chem and Geog i tried to squeeze in as much geog info as possible. After half an hour i took a risk. I just basically went through the topics that i thought would be coming out. So when the time came i knew that i would be fighting a loosing battle. But i did not care. All i cared was that i had to finish the paper and do my best. And that is exactly what i did.

After the exam i felt great too!!! OK i can't remember what i did after the exam, but i know that the mid course exam was a super fast period of time. Oh wait i think i went to play pool with Dennis friends again. Okies that all that happen during my end of year exams=D

~Better change~

I'm really quite upset at what I've been doing the past week. All my goals have not been completed. Really wanted to study lots and finish all my homework by this week. But every time i start studying i will feel tired. This week also have wasted lotsa of time that could be spent on finishing my HW. But I chose to play first instead of studying first. SAD;( Now still have not finish all my HW. Arh!!! not sure how i'm going to complete my revision by Mid-Course. Sian. Have to really discipline myself if i want to do well.

Second is my health. I feel really lousy when i fall sick because i can't really do much. And thats exactly what happen to me on thursday. I fell sick on thursday night after i came home from school at around 10.30. Thats because i ate cold Chee Chion Fan, Chee kui for dinner that night at around 9.30. Oh the dumblings that i ate was not as nice as what i expected it to be. So When i got home, I suddenly had this really bad stomach ache. My stomach really hurt alot. That could be due the amount of Oil that i wanted to be in my Chee Chion Fan and Chee Kui. I could not sit up straight so i decided to go sleep since i could not concentrate in doing anything else. The next day i woke up perspiring. I did not have a good sleep. Though my stomach ache has gone away, i was feeling unwell. I had soarthroat too but still went to school. All through school i was feeling sick. my friends was very nice to me. They were very patient. At lunch i took early dismissal, so happy that he companied me to the train station. He even agreed to study with me at night. So nice. Thank You.

In the end, only recovered fully today. Leart alot from this experience. I need to eat properly and drink lotsa water. I also need to concentrate and be dscipline in getting my school work done. Need lotsa encouragement. =)

very tiring!!!

Wahx... this week was super tiring=(
I guess i have to blame myself a bit=x I slept late almost everyday.
Actually this monday was suppose to go out in the evening to watch movie or play poolX)
But in the end i just stayed at home and continued studying.
BTW in the morning, went to church to do PW! IT was ok as we manage to complete what we needed to do YAY!!! hahas.

TUES WED AND THURS was mostly the same as i went to school, to Dennis house to study then home! I reach home at like 12 and Slept at around 1.30. not sure why though=p

Everyday would try to complete my homework but in the end would always have some homework left to do. There will be assignments due everyday. sobsob~ Oh on wed particularly, I left dennis house at 11.00 Wahx was super tired!!! I took a bus home and of course slept all the way home. But thats not all, i fell asleep and landed up at the Bus interchange =X how silly of me. i was a bit shock too as i woke up seeing nobody in the bus. Wahx sob no one woke me up when reach the interchange=( super paisae~ I got off the bus thinking of what just happen.
Thats kinda stupid as i should have been thinking of what bus to take home.

By the time i realize, too late x( cause the last bus to my house had just let the bus parking bay. Oh No.... i quickly check for the next bus departing and none of the bus to my house was in operation anymore. SAD SAD:( Had to walk about 30min home! So i slept relatively late that day and could not wake up for seminary=( I love going to seminary.

Oh on thursday we had this Sex education person to come talk to us.
We started off by watching a video. Its an old show called' On The Wrong Side Of The Bed". The show was quite nice however the next part was both disgusting or scary because of the pictures being shown. EWWW!!! OVerall i think the talk was quite informative though it was a little disturning with all those pics~
Fri, nothing much and it was nearing the weekend!!!

I was not happy with myself as a few things happen this 2 days.
On thurs night. wanted to do Geog, but i LEFT all my notes in the locker in school. Since i could not do the geog i did maths instead. Super silly of me=X okies then Fri came and went relatively fast. After school Lily Azmira and I went to CWP for dinner and then to the civics center Macs to study. I studied my SYFC book as i had a Flight Exam the following day.
At about 9 we went home. hahas!!! On the train home we talk, laugh and sang, erm... a bit loud i guess=X hehe >.<>

Super scared!!! I woke up to revise my Flight materials as i was not confident that i knew it well enough. Thanks to my friend's encouragement and support, i felt less nervous and more confident. Thank you soooo much^^ okies during the flight test, it was quite ok as i could do most of it except for this section that gave me a little prob. hehe Had mentoring and other lectures and briefs till about 5.15 Could go home leXD But i did not cause my family needed to go to My church Friends house for dinner=)!!!

WAhx i Love his beef noodles!!! Taste sooo GOood^^ the noodles were a little spicy as they used some special sauce. The noodles was smooth which made it so good. Oh bout the beef, i loved it. SO soft like it melts in your mouthX) OOoooo how i wish i could eat it again. hehe. The beef also had its unique taste. Hmm.... maybe can get the recipe from him=X hehe To make the night more entertaining, we were treated to playing WI!!! not sure if many knows about it.

Boxing was my best as i won all the games=P hahas John try harder kies? =X joking lahx... i guess the control has low bat thats why. But you played well in tennis and bowling. I'm still trying. We left the house at about 9.30. Oh i did not want to go yet... haha We had to leave but the taste of the noodles still lingered in my mouth. ^^ Really grateful for Bro and Sis Tan for the noodles.

Oooo so nice:) have not talk in the morning for quite a whileX)... You're so good to me^^ i guess thats the only nice thing today. Talking to youXD

Okies... lets come back to the topic... so first we had PE which was so boring cause we were expecting at least a game near the end of the period. Oh not to mention, it started raining 15 mins into the Lesson, but the rain lasted for only 30 Secs. Really have to thank the lord for that. Otherwise i will be dying of boredom... hahasX)

We had to rush to the next period which was geog lecture and we cannot be late for it. But i was late. The lecturer then ask me a question" what is the city of norway?" okies its a question for you too go find out. anyways thanks to a voice behingd me i was given inspiration. hahas:) Oh man, i really had to remember this city cause this is the only city from the list that i keep forgetting.

OK... it starts from here. I keep dozing off during the second period of Geog. I really hate that cause Geog lecture's are super Important!!! and not to mention that i did not do well for my Geog Exam=( yay!!! next period is Physics LectureX) i like Physics lectures cause i really did super well for the exams and i get to sit close to her^^ so sweetX)

Anyways i officially left the school at around 6. Thats the latest time i have ever left the Chemistry Prac class. We were all feeling down and bored... so we decided to head down to Causeway Point to have some MochiX) okies... that was the plan but we ended up Buying Donuts!!! hahas....
