Tuesday, November 27, 2007/ 3:06 PM BNCOC' 2007  back from the camp. it was fun and tiring of course. and being bravo 1 PC was swee, looking at how the trainees improved continuously throughout the whole camp, the feeling was great. Day 1 - BOOK IN! trainers reach early, so clean our bunk, do those crappy admin stuffs. waiting for the trainees arrival. and the CO sir keep on emphasising must go hard on the trainees. ah well, den all the bunk checks. but it is not strict one la, compared to our own camp. xD. which was wad the things a bit slanted all throw on the floor, then chao fan. COOL! the bravo male trainees occupy 1 room, but in all there was only 8 bravo male trainees >.<. the lunch was pathetic! everyday also got chicken. and yes, the chicken is ROCK-HARD. cannot bite one! the S4 quite smart, every meals changed the flavours of the chickens. forget wad afternoon do already. but i think is bout footdrills. and the S2 is like some shop, so MANY or rather COUNTLESS of trainees visit them. bravo 1 the liling think got some heart pain, scare me like hell, and serene accompany her all the way. not long after, all the nanhuas PCs gone except likhoon. all book out. ya, my fellow bravo 1 PC serene also book out. left me all alone. night is so UBER FUN! the what they called confidence course, around the same as last year, but changed a bit here and there. so there are 6 different stations, we went for the lemon thingy first, something like u got blindfolded and walk, get a lemon and put on a plate. the S3 quite evil, thinking that lemon not sour enough, pour some kalamasi juice onto it! eh, my favourite drink leh! then we went over to the pails one. this year got 5 pails, but all SCAM de. not one is real. got rices, beans, noodles, ropes etc, so the trainees are supposed to stick in their hand and find marbles. next is the drinks. exactly the same what my SL group did at RULANG! but i think mine is more yucks. got wasabi (: but theirs hor think got only drinks, the chocolate cream or whatever u call it, and vinegar. the trainees somemore say it taste very nice, something like diluted M&M drinks. failed! we proceed on to the black black garden. and supposed to find rubber band, 20 cents coin, pingpong ball, crackers, tissue. cannot find one la. so DARK. the trainees so smart, heng they got keep rubbers band in their pockets from the dinner, then take out and scam the S3. lastly is the hunted house at AVA room! is quite dumb la actually. the S3 clad in their poncho, the so called "ghost" sit on the chairs, and will like slowly walk up to the trainees, scared them, grab them, anything. lol. den got 1 come and scare me. i just stood there. when 'it' found out i was PC, den say "chey PC ar" and went back to sit down =.=!! it was company administration and shower for the trainees. naval base sec ar.. hais. like i said it is a damn kampong school. make us bathe with water hose sia. den some worse, resort to bathing with green army mug. aiyo... den the crap AAR sessions, evaluate what happened today for the trainers, and FIRE DRILLS! and until now we PCs haven sleep nor bathe yet! hais, it was until 2.30am that we male PCs sleep without bathing, ya lor, that weiren and kenneth who are the only male PCs left said dunwan bathe. say what 5.30am den bathe. in the end also nvr bathe! Day 2 - morning PT. crap la. i dunno anything. and i dun do these thing at hwachong. so crap my way through as PTI. also not tough one la. the breakfast ar... aiya. the margarine also got trainees complain salty =.= and the CO sir VERY EFFICIENT! suggest putting sugar inside for the next day. and it WORKED! next was the campcraft! ok, firstly i was SHOCKED to see external trainers coming in to teach them campcrafts, instead of our own trainers. secondly, i was even SHOCKED to see that they are from nanyang. den i was figuring which CCA they are from... but i get nowhere as they are wearing some shirt that contained only the nanyang word on it. thirdly, i was even even more SHOCKED to see sheila. it was she who gestured to me. then now i know they are from NPCC. now, how on earth would they want to come to our zone basic NCO course? no idea. the trainees learn lashing. 2 types oonly. and supposed to apply what they learned in 1 hour, and construct a stretcher with wooden poles, and poncho. i was taken aback on how smart they are. their speed was really fast! next is the photo hunt! DAMN FUN! AND SHIOK! must follow whatever tasks we were given from the paper, and take a group photo to acknowledge we done the task! i shall skip some tasks, if not really will spam. we got this red plate car on our way to the khatib mrt.  and next it was the 2 heads, 8 hands, 2 backsides, and 11 legs in 1 photo! quite funny. a lot of NGs  group hug taken by a passer-by!  racial harmony! must take a photo wif strangers from chinese,malay,tamil!  PSP SLIM! play cheat de, it is hard to find anyone holding onto a PSP slim while walking. so we went to a game shop and ask for a photo! the uncle was so unwilling, and i took this while he was unaware!  BRACES! we look dumb while trying to spot who got braces in their mouth.  artistic photo! and we copy what faces of them. eyes closed, and smile retarded. SPASTIC!  take a photo at 3pm sharp with the time clearly shown! SWEE!  this one very hard sia. they give us a photo, and we are supposed to find the EXACT spot, and take photo wif it. the exact tree, exact place!  this one more scam! we saw a male carrying red crumpler bag and a female wearing a white slipper. but the task states that must a female wearing the shoes and carry the bag. so we ask them if can a not. HAHA!!  take a photo wif the S3 COUPLE!!  jump shot! lots and lots of NGs  and we keep on losing our way back! hais, and we were late tgt wif alpha 1. ): the NANHUAs are back after this. at night was the sing-a-long sessions. the campfire songs. i get no thing inside my brain. and the others were like wow, dun nid the song sheet, everything inside their head liao. except for hwachongs of cos (: and charlie was like so high that session >.< the telematch! the S3 were really evil. go put all kinds of yucky things onto the poncho and rubbish bin, trainees supposed to roll over the poncho and go inside the rubbish bin searching for a rubber band. what follows next is everything the same as day 1. Day 3 - morning PT! wah, BUT A LOT MORE TOUGHER. the females i dunno. but the males is taken charge by CO sir and RSM sir themselves. first it was the speed training at the damn bloody wet and dirty field. 30 secs sprints, 1 min walk, 30 sec sprints, 1 min walk, and keeps on. woohoo FUN! next is endurance training! do shutter run in groups, go and come back is 1 time for a total of 10 times adding spice to it, the last 2 must pump. SHIOK sia. maybe i shall implement this on the sec 1s! HAHA but on day 3 i like die already. like not much enthusiasm on the day. lack of sleep perhaps. they have their theory test. 30 MCQs, cheapskate de. being not sastified with not having a O behind our designation like the CO and XO the PCs named ourselves the PCOs! next is the cooking competition!! cook all kinds of rubbish out. and decorate nicely to hide the facts that they cant cook! must cook 2 main dish, 2 appetisers, and 1 desert, bravo 1 has the fried, curry rice and curry, sardine noodles for main dishes, fried xiao bai cai and seafood soup for appetisers, and some watermelons wif apples for desert. hahas. visual effects quite nice. the photo-taking session in full uniform BRAVO ROX! next is campfire preparation. woohoo.. me, meichia, kuanyuan, and weijie tio the saikang jobs. SK warriors for the day, carry all the benches and firewoods up to the hall. why rain... last year also like that. then is like the first 2 days never rain, then purposely day 3 then rain.. hais. it is fated. and we make the fake campfire. put a fan inside surrounded by firewoods, red plastic bag on top of it, and lots of torchlights inside, giving a visual campfire effect. lol. but is quite scam la. the buffet! like HEAVEN!.. maybe becos of the food we have eaten past few meals. zihao yongquan dingjie edmund came. (: it was nice to have friends from my own corp here ^^ campfire is SOOO HIGH! dun care ar, i just act along, as if i know all the campfire songs. haha. all the cheers, songs, dances. =D and i tio RSM sir as partner during part of the dance. lol.. charlie grab the top 2 prize for campfire performance, while bravo 1 came in 3rd. (: and after the whole campfire, my voice went hoarse, and that night, we the PCOs and the S level heads, RSM, CO got a hard time deciding the best company, platoon, trainee, and outstanding trainees.. and people who failed the course. headache ar. cos we the PCOs will tend to slant to our own companies or platoons. and at 3am, the trainees are supposed to go for night hike de. then the CO and XO very not happy wif the trainees performances. we got a big lashing from the CO, den they want to hit the trainees hard. bad luck. Day 4 - and yes, the regimental duties for last day! very important that i must list out! COS (Combat) - CPL Lee Jian Ler COS (HQ) - CPL Neo Xiu Hui crap. i was dumbfolded when i read the regimental list outside the hall on day 3 night. as the reasons are simple as i have stated in my previous posts. my watch also dunno fly where liao, luckily hweeyee lend me hers. and yes, i want to state that i totally din sleep for the whole day. all the discussions meetings and also flag raisings. see! being a COS is BAD or rather CURSED luck. then morning arr..die liao. even when taking attendance, i like doze off liao. lol. den the RSM sir when keep asking for me, i take a long time to respond. the flag raising and lowering was a disaster! heng, both sessions no trainees saw. firstly, i dunno what to do wif the flag when i am there. and i took eternity to found out how to put on the string onto the flag. lol. secondly, i almost dropped the flag on the floor while marching.... den the coordination, banging, all not co-ordinated. cursed cursed cursed. the trainees were SOOO HIGH that day, despite being going hard by the CO sir. dunno what happened, is like wherever they go they started greeting people. and i was like greeted thrice in 1 hour by my own platoon. so maybe being a COS is quite cool for the last day. wearing full uniform and a red thing across for the whole day. becos when the trainees see me they greeted me differently from the other PCs. LOL! the only satisfaction that i have. >.< and i also realised that it was only a matter of time that i become COS. cos the S1 go by corps de, every corps will tio members being the COS. and since i was the only pathetic one from Hwachong Corp, it is only a matter of time that i tio. and heng it was on a last day, cos the trainees are released at 1pm! and lastly it was the debrief and last parade. and we went on to vandalise the school, got a marker, and go draw on the wall. haha!! since it is tearing down, who cares! after the parade everyone cheer! and it was HOME SWEET HOME! cham cham cham... trainers stay back again, for the failing of trainees. sian lar... although it was only a few, it took us eternity to decide to fail who, cos all got different opinions then keep voting. the budget wise.. very cham. the noodles for the cooking competition also buy the cheapest cheapest brand one, den turn out no seasoning, taste like shit. margarine also, cheapest of the cheapest. turn out to be salty! Best Trainee: BiQi (Charlie 2) Best Company: Charlie (it is a really close fight between 2 companies) Best Platoon: Bravo 2 (bravo 1 dun worry... u guys only lose by a whiskers. u r the BEST alr) 6 Outstanding Trainees: to be revealed on zone presentation. PCOs rule! and on a different note, how can I, a somebody who always sleep in class, late for test for a whole 20 mins becos of sleeping, not sleep? and hence to fulfill my task, from ytd to today, i sleep a total of 18 hours straight! |
