ALA KE POM POR!
MATA KONG SI!
Something we've been shouting for without fail for the past 3 months...
Its already 3 months in Kestrel Coy and we've finally come to the end of the BMT... Sorry Eagle guys, you are still recruits keeping our rifles after our POP parade.. :p
its been fun in Kestrel coy except for some MFCB... bt overall it was fun meeting new buddies...
first friend i had met was Jon.. pretty siao on with him until some part where i slack down alot... Had chong as my close buddy... bloody funny guy and we've been helping eachother buying stuff throughout BMT... haha.. then came the buddy who i do stupid things and get into trouble with, Reddy.. haha.. the last sunday of BMT was our biggest laughter man... got into trouble with jackson and got ourselves and our bed wet like shit... haha..
Come our commanders...
First commander i met was 3SGT Fazli, haha.. super playful sergeant who i joke with the first minute i saw him.. then came PS Alvin.. found out that hes an ACSian and he told me PC is also and ACSian... yeah! haha.. SGT Alvin is someone who never wipe that smile of his off even when he is angry.. i don't know why.. this really makes it funny when he scolds everyone and after the effing session we have from him, everyone will start mocking him.. i mean the way he eff us is also very unique... memorable things like, which part of DON'T MOVE you don't understand?! and start spelling out the words... I think you guys want to talk to the floor right... maybe the sky wants to talk to you more.... FUCKED UP!!! haha.. the common ones... will never forget... then came 3SGT Shao Ming... always with that phrase SURE OR NOT? Always try to run away from him, coz hes the CQ of the company and when it comes to him means Sai Kang is comming.. haha.. bt hes a nice guy lah... and our Sect. Comm SGT Fairuz... super quiet and dangerous man who just makes us do drills and drills and more drills... like 10second adjust in height, 10seconds knock it down, 10 seconds smokers non smokers, 10 seconds muslim non muslim.... WTF!!! haha.. but still hes a nice guy...
Finally came the crazy guy who always shouts "ALA KER POM POR!" CPT Erzwin Yem... Super crazy guy.. remembered 4th day only we had OCPT which is alot more tough than the enhanced training... and once in awhile he will start to do things like 3 sets of 50 counts of 4 jumping jacks, 20 counts of 4 push ups, 20 counts of 4 crunches, 20 counts of 4 bridge and many many more... the enhanced jaguar guys see already also cheer for us.. coz they know that they cant tahan his training too... haha...
BUT BUT BUT! the one and only commander i will respect the most is the "MOTHER F*CKING CH** BY*'s" BMT buddy.. haha.. 2LT Peh.. first night he already told us his buddy in bmt was a MFCB.... he really gains respect from me coz i see him from a different point of view.. as an instructor myself i see leaders from a different point of view.. LT Peh is super firm but he still makes friends with the recruits and blend in with us very well.. it is always difficult to be both the bad and the good guy.. it take alot of skill to do it and i am still working on it at work...
well stay tuned for the POP pictures to come...

Last Camp
Just finished my last camp yesterday... I wont be doing anymore camps for the next 2 years coz the bloody government wants me to go and train up and protect the nation.. not that army sucks, but the feeling is just pretty shitty being controlled for 2 years when i've been controlling campers for 4 years...
It was Bedok Green(OH WAIT!!!), Bukit View(OH WAIT!!!) no no no.. its BEDOK VIEW!!! haha... i've been mistaking the school for bedok green and bukit view for the whole camp.. i am sure you know why... Its andrew's camp and bloody hell!! MY LAST CAMP IN St. John's Island... Initially i was cursing and swearing coz i always hear people saying that st john island is a very siong place to run camp, coz i nv do any camps in there before.. but it turned out to be pretty easy...
During PCB, i was telling andrew its my last camp, give me a normal tech or a normal acad class coz i've always been motivating these kinda students, but i had never taken them for camps before.. so andrew agreed to give me a normal acad class... and he gave me miao xia as my mirror..
When we reached the school, miao xia and i took our grp and i broke the ice between the students and us.. Miao Xia was quite attached to the group already when andrew asked her to leave me for denson's class... so i had to the class all alone.. what a thing to happen on my last camp actually.. 29 students fr me to handle.. actually i could handle but i thought maybe my last camp i will just be ait slack.. bt i think God had a different plan for me.. so i decided to give my best in the camp...
I thought maybe i should try a different way for doing this camp... i did lesser physical stuff bt more learning points.. and it turned out well.. teacher in charge followed my class for one day and seems like she was impressed with the way i handle the bunch of kids...
Had zhong wen as my buddy for rah rah session.. really had quite a good chemistry with him.. first day rah rah was super fun and funny.. really must grab him back to camp and do rah rah together when i ORD..
Andrew praised me for my job in the camp too which made me feel good, and plus he said that he teacher in charge particularly pointed me out as a good and experienced instructor.. it really boosted my morale...
With my morale up high there, i lead the instructors to rah rah the whole cohort in the canteen... it was an awesome session while we waited for the 2nd boat to reach..
Went for lunch in tampines sec coz andrew had a PCB there.. all instructors plus some from the other camp came together in tampines sec.. 23 of us were there supporting him in just a PCB for the students..
Here the fun part that the western guys had.. On the way home driving, we started going every school and shout oie at the students who just finished school.. damn funny session.. Bukit view, hong kah, jurong west, fuhua, yuhua, jjc and dunno what other school..
hmm overall, it has been an awesome experience in this industry.. till 2 years time...

JACKASS!
JACKASS OF THE DECADE!
Saw this news article few mths back where "Ah Boy" from the local sitcom Phua Chu Kang was sentenced to 1 week in Detention Barracks (DB) which is the military equivalent to prison.
"Ah Boy" aka Marcus Ng Yi Loong (Picture left) may not ring a bell to many but if you were an ACS boy or old boy, you would definitely remember this asshole as the punk who dragged ACS (ex-Barker Road, now International) Principal, Mr Ng Eng Chin (picture below right), through a year's worth of mud with false allegations of molestation way back in 2001.
Mr Ng Eng Chin (NEC, as is also known as) was my Principal during my time in secondary school. For the 2 years that I have known him, NEC is a good and straight up guy in school. So when the allegation that he molested Marcus during a counseling session, I knew right from the start that it was a lie. There was never a doubt in every cell of my existence to believe that NEC would do such a thing.
At the end of the investigation which dragged over a year, he was unanimously cleared, by the Panel of Inquiry, of all charges. In most cases, it would be a great relief but our faith in NEC was so great that there was no relief to speak of as we knew from the start that the investigation was merely a formality and that acquittal was inevitable.
Yes, NEC was exonerated but to be dragged through the mud bringing stress and hardships to him, his family, friends and supporters was certainly uncalled for.
Marcus Ng as far as I am concerned is a trouble making delinquent that ought to be hantam one time jialat jialat.
I read in disbelief when his mother told the press that "He (Marcus) is a well-mannered, humble and respectful person despite finding fame early..."
It makes me wonder if his mom is of sound mind or deliriously in denial.
Let it be known that a year after the investigation, at the age of 17 and no longer in the school, was put on probation on charges of assault and theft and a year before this case, he was convicted and fined SGD 1000.00 for disobedience and non-compliance.
To this I would say to Marcus' mom. Well-mannered, humble and respectful. NOT!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the way, here's an interesting tidbit that I bet most of you would not have picked up. Marcus' family hired Drew & Napier's Wendell Wong to defend them.
Of all people Wendell Wong. Oh, the irony!
Mr Wendell Wong was ex-Deputy Prosecutor and tracing further back was Head Prefect of ACSS'87, President of the ACJC'89 Students' Counsel Ex-Co and one of the youth leaders of the Barker Road Methodist Church. In other words, he is a true-blue ACS boy and here in the ACS family, when you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. That how strong our school spirit is.
Anyway, kudos to Wendell for his integrity and discharging his duties without prejudice under the circumstances. To this, I am humbled for if I were in Wendell's shoes, I would have to request to have myself taken out of this case for I would sure to be the "goalie that would purposely leak a goal or two".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Marcus,
I sincerely hope that you would spend the time in DB to seriously reflect on your past mistakes. May you come out better and be a decent person.
If not, please continue to stay inside until you've truly learnt your lesson.
Try picking a fight with the warden or something.
Cheers.

I dint expect myself to do so much camps up to date.... 30 camps in 4 years and i just realised that i am in my 4th year in doing this... How many lives have i touched? How many souls have i woken? How many behaviors have i changed? How many campfires have i been through? How many times have i belayed? How many abseiling tries have i dispatched? How many zipline tries have i dispatched?
I think i am going to have my last camp in the month of may and announce my retirement... I've seen myself at my peak form, i've seen myself at my lowest form and the trend have been tumbling down lately... Since my national service notice have been sent to me and i will be enlisting in june, i shall take a break at least for this 2 years... Maybe i will build up more qualities in the army and come out into camp and start using it...
As i was at Clementi Primary School performance night, i gave a long thought of how many more camps i want to do before i enlist and how will i feel for my last campfire as an instructor...
I will really miss students calling me:
-Instructor Alfred
-Instructor Hippo
-Bloop Boom!
-Bloop Bloop Bloop Boom!
and the cheers of instructor hippo which Canberra Sec sang out for me. Also not forgetting the song which NUS high school wrote for me...
My most special gift from my students were the 2 t-shirts of tanglin sec which they had signed and given me... Both the 2007 and the 2008 batch...

Blogging @ 3AM!!!!
Its almost 3.30am and i am still up in the sick bay of Jalan Bahtera Adventure Centre... Only 1st Aider of the camp and i have 2 kids in the sick bay which means i cannot sleep.. making my life harder than doing night duty for instructors... argh!!!
Let me blog abt Tanglin Sec first..
Day 1...
Drove down to tanglin and got caught in a jam.. argh!! thought we were going to be late.. As usual after knowing how ian works, i somehow got the habit and started to ask those in my van to call eunice and inform that we were going to be late... When we reached there, only rendall was there... i was like !@#@#%#@$^#@... Infact i actually woke up late and i only changed when i reached the school... even my shoes... thats one thing good about having to drive there... everything you want, you have!
Hang around there and i actually saw my ex-camper! my best camper last year.. she was having her PE class and also another ex-camper who happened to be in vanessa's group... i actually brought the t-shirt that the campers gave me to camp and when i happened to show this particular ex-camper, she was like eh i never sign!!! then i was like alright let you sign lah.. actually if she have signed or not i also dunno right...
I finally saw the 'fu lu shou' of tanglin sec.. they are the best teachers lah!! Mr. Wan, Mr. Tam and Mr Lim... Wha best of the best... This year i had to take Carova house... Wanted to take back aspen bt i could not.. so i told myself its a big challange for me as carova was the worst house last year...
Day 2 came and apprantly my group leader was still sick and happened that i found a good leader from moon's group, in fact 2! Adelaide and Johnny!!! Apprantly johnny dint have good comments from the teachers.. It was the time when i told myself that he is going to be a life changing story that i am going to create! With his leadership skills, his selfless thinking and initiative, he really gained my respect and i knew that i had a good leader to guide. Adelaide is another natural leader who reminds me of zhenyi from tanglin last year... Shes good and takes initiative in everything she does...
Night came and all of us were to vote for the best camper and i really spoke out for johnny! and yeah he got the best camper for the camp..
I was sad to see the house that i took last year drop down to 3rd from the 1st they had last year... and was even more sad to not get the best house in the camp.. but the most important thing that i believed for the students is still their learning journey...
anyway, i really hope to see my campers enjoyed themselves and learnt something from this camp... bonus for me in this camp would be to change someone's life today!

Back to Blog
Back from Westwood few days back and i sould say it was a camp which i had nt given my best. I thought maybe i am just too old to continue camps as an instructor... Its one of my worst camp i believe, not because of the students but myself. Old not as age, but i think my limit of doing camps is almost reaching... Westwood was a camp that i had not given my best and as i was recflacting on my own doings for the whole camp in the carpark of JBAC during dinner, there was one thing i told myself, i've been such a gonner in the camp already, i must really give a good shot during campfire. and indeed i gave my best for campfire... Spoke to some instructors abt it and they disagree abt what i feel and instead agreed that it was coz of another reason... ohwells... i have yet to find out the reason people. but at least after campfire, when i had a chat with veron, i found out that at least i have a difference from the actual camp and the campfire. at least someone sees the difference.
I also told myself that since i've done by best for campfire, why not let me just give it all out on the last day. no harm though... and i believe that it was a good area cleaning on my side for the campfire pit, no doubt its my best place and favrioute place to clean...
Anyway people, i will be seen in the scene lesser as i have found another job somewhere in town...
I've made times for the following camps:
9-11 Apr - Tanglin Secondary School (MUST DO!!! So far my best school in my Camp HA life)
14-16 Apr - Nan Hua Primary School (First Aider... Save Lives!)
24-26 Apr - CHIJ Saint Nicholas Girls' School (Fore see a power pack camp)
Oh people gimme one veron clap! *Clap* ROAR!!!!

Chong Boon Sec...
Chong Boon Sec was one great camp i should say... the B-I-M-B-Os and One Fat boy was my highlight of the camp...
First day of camp, I WAS LATE!! and did not have a chance to eat my breakfast. asked instructor K to buy macs as he was riding into JBAC...
On the bus this fat boy (i shall call him S)... He started scolding the malay guys in his group pratically all the vulgarities that he knew and stuff... was just surprised that teachers said dun bother... reminds me of my secondary school days though... When we reached jbac i spoke to S and he was quite reluctant to be in this group coz he was seperated from his clique.. oh wells, usual same stuff... suddenly this 5 girls i call them the B-I-M-B-Os.. they started to get crazy when i teach them cheers.. bla bla bla first day ended after their night study... While i was doing my rounds at night, my knees went jelly and i sprained my ankle.. total sianded..
2nd day was just kayaking, cfp, zipline and NE.. Kayaking was still alright nothing much... CFP came when everyone was just trying to think of somehting and in the end this 5 boys came out with the soulja boy dance... and i added some adverts to it... and definately ended with my an noh neh cheer! was NE, when we were supposed to go out to conduct and in the end it was raining... i was trying to bring the story of the 2nd world war to them and one by one they started having war with mr zhou.. (a guy who everyone meets in their dream) so i decided to do station activities and do some trevias until it was clear from rain.. as i always say, rain keeps my students bonded somehow, just like hougang sec..
while it was raining, CAT I status was cleared and my girls did the zipline eventhough it was raining.. omg, zipline in the rain is really shiok lah!
Campfire! instructor J and Y came down in their subaru! haha.. My students were dying for J to come down coz she took them last year.. they were like where is intructor bunny!! i asked them to buy duracell battries first if not she come also cannot work..
luckily i bought my duracell battries, when she came in she helped me to push my ankle somehow... by end of day 2 it was as big as a pig's trotter... oh did i just forgot, centre manager cooked supper for us and i told her if she needed pig's trotter can look for me.. i was hopping and limping around on the 2nd day...
by day 3 it got well abit and oh yeah i did area cleaning in the dining hall... in my life in HA i only did area cleaning in at the campfire pit, never do dining hall before!!! in the end asked instructor YS and Instructor I to join me facilitate the cleaning, since they dint have anything on also... cleaning session became dance session and inspection failed! its always idiots like me in camp which makes the centre manager's blood boil... but luckily missy S was there and she told me abt the expectations of the dining hall... Chief I was so shocked to see the sudden chance within 10 minutes... haha!!
Had lunch with the rest and went for mj session with instructor K, instructor I and Instructor YS... oh had instructor WJ with us for mj also.. need one reserve to be there if not someone will start to sleep on the mj table already.. haha..
Here are some photos during CBSS..

ITE Tampines Camp
Hougang campfire was good, everyone was superb... after that, i had to leave JBAC... some students tried to be funny going against us when we were just trying to get them to sleep... They just need to get it from me and i gave them a warning. after several warnings, they still did the same thing, making noise and stuff, i was so pissed off that i had to make them out of the huts and scare them abit. FIRST TIME in my career that i had to do this. After everything was done, wanted to get a cab to get out and prepare for ITE camp... and guess what, NO CAB!!! wth, no cab on a bloody thursday night... had no choice bt to ask the centre manager to give me a lift home... He was nice enough that he sent me all the way back home.. Thanks Dude!
Reached home at abt 3 plus and managed to wash and pack my stuff by 4, went to sleep and woke up at 6am to meet the instructors by 7.30... (Thats how Instructors live their lives...)
Was the senior of the school plus an instructor, which made things easier for me, as i know people from both sides. First day was rather dry and tiring in the head coz i was raining while the whole day was mostly soft skills stuff... 2 Instructors came in for passion in the night... Both are my disciples, K and U came down and they helped out for the whole 2nd day...
Belaying, Nature Rumble, MLC, Trolley Party, Campfire were some things that the instructors had to do on the 2nd day... By 6pm, there were more than 30 instructors with less than 70 campers... The instructors made a major ourselves... It was a pretty long but fun campfire i thought. Then instructors went out of the campsite after campfire to celebrate yx's bday.. It was damn funny to see them do stuff that i only do during seconday school... Then i drove out, sending the instructor out... Most of them walking, while i used my car to give them light while walking out.. P hopped onto my bonet while i drive and i sprayed my wiper water at him.. It was a damn hilarious sight... After that, sent K to buy nasi lemak for the instructors and sent R and Z to SP to wait for Z's uncle...
Went back and 2 chiefs gave the 5 odd instructors of us to do brain storming... LOL!!! it was a damn funny session though i dun like people to do stuff like this...
After we broke camp, went on to CCK for lunch and then to Re's place to play MJ... seems that his leg is getting bigger and bigger.. haas... the bandage got bigger lahs... Shared my tiles with K, but i was sleeping for almost 2 hours during the first 2 rounds of the games and we lost 12 bucks... haha at least it was 6 for each of us... K woke me up for pizza, Re's mom ordered pizza hut for us and we continued the 3rd round, i lost again!!! haha.. but it was more for the fun of it i believe...
Today is gonna be another day i see my camp friends... Meeting R and Z for lunch and shopping for the Genting trip... PCB for chong boon camp will be on later too..
OMG i am coughing super badly, think i need the doctor soon... Shall see if i've got time later to see a doctor...
In the mean time,

Instructor drenched in JBAC
Its has been raining cats and dogs and chickens and ducks... whatever you call it... it was really that bad that any animals will suit the phrase.
Imagine doing only wet weather activities for the whole day, and abt half of my campfire item. Had a great mirror, but i think i would need to let her do more things tomorrow... She was saying that she felt useless when i was conducting the activities.. Think i havent done camps for damn long and coz i miss camps so much that i tend to do everything myself...
Overall, i think this camp has been damn good without 2 people.. I think i most of my campers will know why...
Will go into details when i break camp...
Yesha!!

Instructor Visits a Burnt Instructor..
The day which was long but fast.
Woke up at 8am to send my mom to work while i took the car to do my stuff. Supposed to do my poly admissions at SP and NP. Since i was going to meet a friend to go NP, i decided to go SP in the morning first. After enquiring my stuff at SP, i realised that she was STILL SLEEPING! So since she lives near newton, i decided to ask M for breakfast. So we went to River Valley... Shortly after that, she came and started talking to M abt tennis.
Sent M back to Newton Suites and headed to NP... She sattled her stuff while i sattle mine and we had nothing to do. So i decided to go down to SRC to collect my bowling ball and after that we had abit of a car ride looking at houses... AND SHE KNOWS TOMMY GOH's CHILD!!! FYI, Tommy Goh is like my idol who actually started a engineering company named, Just In Time (JIT). after getting it done, he sold it to Flextronics for 640 Million. OMG! And his house is damn big with his 5 cars. i really admire him and hes really my idol.
Ohwells, den after everything, went home to bring my sister for training while i had to send my friend to another school to sattle her stuff. It was all planned last minute and timing turned out quite well... Oh Did i just forgot abt my friend and i went to Island Creamy... FAVRIOUTE LA!!! She treated me to a single scoop and it was damn shiok... Did many other stuff and after that went over to meet the rest of the instructors with Z... We met up in pasir ris to visit R in Seng Kang...
Apprantly, R got himself burnt in GESS Campfire.. 2nd degree burn which was pretty bad though... Hang around until 12 plus...
Oh, and not forgetting that i now have a list of instructors who i can trust, telling my stuff.. For now its one Guy and one Girl... they both are really trusted people and have yet to lose it....
Yeah...@

Instructor with P3 Kids in Sentosa...
It has been quite sometime since i last went to sentosa. Yesterday was a day event there.
Instructor C woke me up at 5.30am and told me she has left home to meet at JE mrt at 6am. I was still in a daze when i reached lakeside mrt waiting for the train, realising that it was already 6.05am.. haha.. LATE!
Met the rest at JE Mrt, Big Clock and went towards woodlands when M came on at CCK. Luckily we were not late when we reached woodlands. Met the other instructors. Walked down to this primary school in woodlands.
When i stepped into the school, Chief I told me that i would need to be an instructor instead of being a runner coz one instructor still sleeping. WTF!!! i had never met an instructor who PS at 6.30 am! Everyone started calling her for damn super many times, i think we called a total of 80 over miss calls. Wonder why the phone din't explode.
I had no choice bt to suck thumb and become a PRIMARY SCHOOL INSTRUCTOR. Most people know i cannot take primary school students. In the end i told my mirror instructor that she will run the show and i will take care of the discipline. So in a sense, we both take 40 students, she will do the programmes and i will handle the discipline stuff like scolding kids, making sure they do things the right way and stuff, while i also help the logistics stuff.
At 2 plus, a kid got a heat stroke and i had to call the ambulance. for 8 years my phone that i used, first time i called the ambulance with it.. shortly after that police called.. -.-///
ohwells.. overall the camp was quite good, on that i had to sattle t-shirts and food at the last part. oh i almost forgot to tell you, we had old chang kee curry puff for tea.. shiok eh....
---------------------------------------------------
today rot at home the whole day and decided to go down to wellington for campfire. picked Z, N and A up from yishun and went down to the school... the whole night was damn cool lahs... especially after supper, when all the helpers were having fun and of cause sharing.
hmm... spoke to C quite abit today, after long time. ohwells, dun think they did well in their As... bt come on instructors, its not the end of the world. be positive, i had my failure too, it was even worse when my only road was just ITE... make the best out of yourself yeah... T, C, YS, MQ, J, J, C.. All of you are positive people... come on go find your calling!
all the best people...

Ignorance is Bliss...
Supposed to be studying for my final paper next week. Finally i am going to graduate. Its been forever and that forever is gonna be over next week.
Got woke up bt H's call at 7 plus asking me if i am going into JBAC for Fajar sec. I was quite alright with it, since i have no lessons today. Went back to sleep until Z called me at 9 plus telling me to save her. Shes been suffering in there AGAIN. So i was like okay. Was supposed to have lunch with H at balestier Beef Hor Fan with him. But went in earlier. Den at 11 plus, yue xing started to call me already. Even more things to go in for. So i decided to head in as early as possible. Had my grandpa to send me in and i decided to walk in from the main road. Raining, wearing my gore-tex jacket and walk in. super hot in the jacket and super wet in my shoes. When i reached JBAC, remember the first few things i heard was, rumours abt me and Z. Come on people, i've been ignoring this, just for the follow facts:
1. If i really liked her and trying to tackle her, i wouldn't have done it so obviously to show everyone.
2. I am treating her so well coz shes appriciative and i believe some others are not. if u think you are, think again. i know who should i be good to.
3. This is just too childish for me to bother. I think only childish people will do this and to the person who is behind this, i don't think you are fit to be an instructor coz you are just too childish to start this kind of stuff.
Oh but anyways, spoke to Z and N over it and we've decided that indeed the people who started it were just too childish and they've got nothing must better to do. and we've decided to ignore there comments, which i've been saying, 'ignorance is bliss'
Went on to help yue xing with the campfire. in the end coz i've only done campfire the camelot way, i just did that way and W took it the other way, let him say me until he song already den i decided to let me take over. Since he likes to suan people, let him be. Still the same old thing, ignorance is bliss. only listen to the good stuff. But after seeing them build, i've more or less learnt the easier way of fire ball. oh yeah...
Went to JP to get stuff together with Y, P, and H. den rushed back, and i was just in time to talk to the instructors coz they have not have any good remarks for the past few days. Knocked them out and made sure they do a good campfire, indeed they did pretty well. Haha...
Instructor dance was quite fresh to me. No para para and i have not been bothered to learn accidently in love. Today was accidentally in love and xi shua shua. It was quite catchy, after i told myself that i have to really pick it up coz instructors really cannot learn para para nowadays. Funny thing was, Z has been practicing with her mirror, and during the actual performance she pulled me. She told me that that guy was just too blur and she hated his saggy big chest. N and i were laughing during dinner. Went to dance with her. Dint know most of the dance steps though. Xi shua shua was worst. seldom do it, so was quite blur. But i hope i had eventually smoked through. yeah!
Campfire was quite good and followed H's car home. Thanks dude for the ride.
Anyways gonna sign off.

Suqun Secondary School; Normal Technical is NEVER useless..
Went down to Suqun Sec quite a few times... Well first when i sent Z in and that, when we reached, it was kidnapped already... and the first sight of the school was TERRIBLE! i capped the word terrible for a reason..
At that time i knew that definately my friend needs help along the way, but there was A at that moment so i left it to him since he has been with the group for the whole day... Went on to join my secondary school friends for mj... Next day, i was supposed to be studying for my exams on monday! bt i decided to go into jbac to check out if the camp was going alright. Stepped in, everything was pretty fine until when i stepped into the CRC! saw Z and remembered she giving me the face of, HELP! and i knew what was going on. I pulled her class to the huts and spoke to them... After talking for quite sometime, i suddenly realised some thing... 3 monkeys were missing! i was super duper pissed... shouted at them, and still give me that soft reply which made me boil even more. this time i raised my voice to the extend that i think even the poor soldiers outside JBAC could hear me. I think it was the time i not only scare the students, even the instructor beside me was scared also... and she claimed that she felt it funny shortly after that. Bt after the talk, i found out that they were better and i asked Z to lead them in their campfire item.. Indeed there were improvements... Went out to jurong with the rest in the night and i managed to go home to get my waterbottles for some instructors who i bought coke for... (Plus oreo...) haas.... went back shortly after that..
This day, a sunday i was stiill supposed to be studying! But i decided to go into JBAC again... c'mon people, you see the passion... Went in and it was raining but the activities were still on... The highlight for this was was not the activities, it was really more on the campfire. Initially it was like some other ordinary campfire, but in the end it turned out to be a unique one.
Like the older generation of instructors and chief always say, the campfire will be the time which reflacts on the camp. It ended up to be an emotional one for these 3 simple reasons:
1. The instructors really made a difference in the students' life
2. its a 4D3N camp. They will definately feel more attached from any other 3D2N
3. some BIMBOS just cry for the sake of crying which influenced the others to cry..
The song which you are listening to now in the background of this blog, i had never thought it was so meaningful until Chief J started singing it. Everyone started singing, while the rest started crying. how emotional the campfire was... I almost cried coz the group of 18 N(T) boys really touched me. Never seen a group of N(T) boys cry before. Looking at Z debriefing them both during the campfire and at the canteen, i could tell that she really loves the group of guys just for one simple reason, they are awesome! Joined them in the debrief in the canteen, i spoke to them on my life story being a screwed up student, leading screwed up life in back in my teenage years and eventually becoming the outstanding student of ITE and making it into the papers. I really hoped that they will be touched and really go for that extra mile to become successful.
Ohwells. anyway got to go now... Z is late for fajar sec, gonna send her there...
Final words to the Suqun boys i spoke to,
never give up, if a screwed up boy i was could turn out into an outstanding student in ITE, Bowling Champion in ITE for 3 years, Leaders' Chairman, Bowling captain for 4 years, having one of the best projects in ITE, being the best in whatever i do and not anyone or anything pull me down coz i am a N(T) student, i am sure you too can do it. All the best!
Final words to Z,
You have done very well in suqun sec. Keep it up! Thanks for letting me have sometime with this bunch of young man here...

Unity Kidnapped
Went into JBAC today for fun. It was unity primary school again.. Ohwells its another day of chats and catching up and of cause kidnap activity with the unity kids...
Went in and hang around, then sent Cyril out for supper... As usual, took orders and went out to buy for the rest of the instructors... Went around asking those who i know and eventually bought quite abit of stuff... Appriciated them in different ways and decided not to collect money from them, although one of them passed me cash before i went to buy.. Well, just thought that its time to appriciate my friends, since its Valentines' Day too... haha...
Had a good 20minutes chat with treviz after the long debrief... Could tell that the camp was pretty 'chui' and that explains the long debrief... Catch up with treviz and updated him some stuff and laughed over curtain stuff... Treviz you know what i am talking abt... and apprantly i found out something from treviz with his super good observation skills... i think i know what to do to what he had observe.. If you want to know, come ask me yourself...
Then went for a stick with some of them and headed home...

First was Ahmad's birthday... It was at this cute cafe called Miss Clarity Cafe.. I was late, and OH YEAH SUPER LATE... haha.. but managed to reach there for desserts at IceKimo just down the road... Then went to a chill out place for drinks and games... it was a great session getting to know the instructors better as well...

Then to Patrick's birthday... It was planned as a uniform party and a group of us wore our school uniforms. Met everyone else in PS and Yes i was late again.. haa... Went down with ziyang and realised that it was really a uniform party, so my spare clothes in my bag was useless... It was a good time in TCC, as we were remembering abt our secondary school life.. It was then, when i found out that Person A was on his usual mission again.. Initially i thought i was thinking too much, then i asked the rest to observe him, then we confirmed that he was doing something funny. What a screwed up arsehole... But anyways, the photos for our uniform gang meeting are not up yet, i will post them up as soon as i get them from hsien zhuan...
Then went to Glass House for fish and co.. 40 people into fish and co.. it was a good session i think.. well i think for this session, let the photos do the talking.

Starting off 2008
Kicked off at Katong Convent in 2008... My first camp of the year...
KC
It was pretty scary at first, coz my group was damn damn down.. Maybe coz it was just the 2nd day of school, class rep was not chosen yet, student councillors could not handle the students, students were not bonded enough.. (Ohwells! Thats why we are there for)
It was a big task for me and adha to bond the class...
When i walked into class, there were pockets of comments... AS USUAL! NV SEE GUYS BEFORE! (It was vice-versa in ACS during my school days though)
I gave them 5 minutes to change into their PE attire and BOOM! They started changing in class.. I was purely stunned!! ohwells it really felt totally like the opposite of ACS... Whatever we did in school last time, they do it in school too...
First time doing Multi-Level Captain's Ball... Heard abt it several times, and thought that chicken was nothing.. Bt when i got the chicken in my hand, i suddenly felt damn disgusted! hahas.. Apprantly the girls were super high over throwing the chicken... LOL!!!
It was just fun lahs!
Heres a shot in KC

Alfred The Instructor
Ohwells Ohwells Ohwells!
I'm back on blogger again...
Decided to start this blog as life in Camp is getting too happening and decided to start blogging again... Its gonna be a blog for me to trash and remember all the things that happened in with the fellow instructors...
It had been a week since i got active with the instructors again... YES and a year had past since i was hanging around with the previous batch before it died down... Its just like a daejavu when i see everything coming back on track again. But ohwell, nothing feels better than virgin friends... You get it? The first camp which i did together with Potato, Udrena, Shalon, Timothy, Amanda, Alex, Andrew, Jane, Eunice and the rest at East View Sec 2006 in Bottle Tree. Not that the friends now are not good, but i've got to admit that the new group of friends that i've made from the instructors seems to be more bonded. I feel closer with them when i go out with them talking abt stuff and what not...
Shall Continue soon...
