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.
