Went to school early, chong yee told me must b in school by 7.30, i checked schedule, muster parade at 8. But don't care jus go and reached there around 7.10. Jia han only part a there, but is cos his bro nid to go there at 6.30, part bs got quite alot all there liao. Starting is split sections, then muster parade. Me=section 4, delta, part as got me, troy, joash, solomon, jing yao, yu jie, kai en, wei cher, part bs got jun kiat, jun yuan, wei jing, benjamin, yit kai, daryl, alfred and alfred(no this is not a typo). Our section ncos were sergeant major and 2sg karlton. Firstly, 2sg jian hua came out, we greeted him as sgt, and turned out he was rsm. Not so good start. After everything, first activity, pull long 4, go do pt. Its like go checkpoints and do stuff, then we damn suay choose all those activities that need leg power, then do some other stuff then no time. Go back pump 20 for each incomplete checkpoint. Then was lunch. After dat we go do part activity. For us we go learn arms drill, quite interesting compared to normal drill, heh can get to drill wif rifle. After drill is pt time. Then next is dinner. Cook rice..rice..the worst thing to cook using mess tin. It will take so damn long lar, i noe frm experience in last camp. So i jus spam the can food. Then bunk cleaning. First day bunk quite dirty, alot of ants, later we told 2sg karlton there was a hole in the wall and the ants keep coming in so he say he'll ignore the ants. We pumped 70 on first day altogether. Then after dat went to bathe, then WAR GAMES. Heh war games is jus fighting wif ppl to pull a sock tied on their arm, then like tie right arm is team a and left arm is team b liddat lar, then when ur sock is off means u die. Got 3 different games. First game is jus see which team got the last survivor, i was team a. Ok starting me, yu jie and joash sneak to the back of the other team and managed to backstab 1 or 2 ppl. Then yu jie and joash disappeared, joash go hum then yu jie dieded. And the innocent looking jia han was standing there, i attack him then yang cheng, gordon, johnathan and some1 else come 5 on 1 gang me, haven die yet. THEN stupid wei long some frm bhind kill me. Wa lao 5 part a gang one part a not enuf arh, nid one more part b come backstab. Ay wei long u every camp must kill me once issit, last camp i standing around u oso come challenge me =.- somemore go disfigure my sock. First game we won, team a all die liao we got 3 ppl alive. Next game, each team got one haversack at their base. i stayed back to defend, i think most of us did, then for team a they all come chiong attack. Managed to survive quite long. THEN winston come challenge me, wa lao y part bs like to challenge me, not like i damn pro liddat lar. Then pull here pull there, suddenly ay, i got his sock leh then he like trying to strangle me liddat then i shout ask him to stop then he say, wa so fast arh, zai then walk away..diao. All this time wei long was running around like a mad man trying to chiong thru the defence, i managed to grab him a few times but dint kill him. Then after dat 8 ppl come gang me, by this time wei long gone again, i think he kena trick by us cos when they come to the floor where we hid our bag we shout to the bottom level, even tho there was no ppl there, to defend properly, so all the team a ppl chiong down. Ok back to the 8 ppl gang, i managed to throw nick lui on the ground and nearly pull out his sock when wei long backstab AGAIN, diao, i hate u. For this game we lost. Last game, most fun, free for all, we allowed to kill any1 and can rez ourself until we dun wanna fight anymore. At first all part as wanna fight ssg yi ming. Then nick lui go challeng yi ming, then he gonna die dat time i go help and and killed yi ming WAHA. And next, gordon ask me team wif him go kill hou shun, pro part b. Then after dat master sgt kang wen come say one at a time, then gordon fight first, abt 4 secs, die. Then my turn i was like omg wad to do. So i jus keep pushing himt hen threw him on the ground, then struggle awhile then..i killed him, heh. Next i went to attack jun kai, a proer part b, seriously i attacked him by acident and he started chasing me, so i jus fight lor. Then pull pull pull then he thot he pull off mine liao, but i haven die yet, then he put down his arm then his sock drop out..lol i guess i managed to pull of his heh. Then all the ncos go fight all those smaller ppl..bully.

Second day of camp, wake up early to polish boots and stuff. 6.15 muster parade. Then go do pt again. After dat breakfast. Then next activity, brains or brawn, checkpoint thingy again jus dat at each checkpoint can choose to either solve a question or do physical activity. First one we chose brains, then quite easy jus how many classes are tehre in high school section. Next one, must say the lyrics of school song backwards, not very hard oso, wif help of notebook. Then next one, supposed to count humber of metal thingys at the terraces, got wrong. So haf to do 4 laps of launches at terraces. Then it was cut short cos no time. Next we go to basketball court. Do superman and foreman support. Quite ok oso. Then canteen, last checkpoint we chose brawns, cos brains was supposedly very hard. Cant rmber wad the activity was. Next is lunch. Cook instant noodle. Heh i cooked it wif my sweat and blood..literaly. I cut my finger on the mackeral can and the whole finger was like red, cant tell lar after all is tomato sauce mackeral. Then the noodle is curry flavour, turns out the combo of tomato sauce mackeral and curry noodle not bad. The mackeral got nice taste, soup is damn nice oso, perfect meal made by darren. Next is company drill session. Quite tough, but dint report sick. And we had to go section by section to go for interview cos got mass theft. Then by the time we were done drills were over and next was pt. Pt we did a scenario based pt. First is wad need to run to enemy camp so go run 1.1 km around driveway. Then next say got barrier or smthin so mus do jumping jacks to jump over. Then something..something..something. Then next, dinner, bunk check, this time we were knocked 80, seems to b increasing by 10 ay.

Then we took some deserted route, then got 3 wild boars so we faster chiong. And then got this checkpoint called pontianak house, was some destroyed house, but looks damn scary. Our section was last, but still on time heh. Go back sch, do pt. Then dinner, and final bunk check. We did 121 to break our record of 120, lack of time. Then bathe, solo night next. I went to terraces, in front of kah kee statue. Very bright at first. Then the ncos suggested counting stripes on ncc crest, so i count count count, then BOOM, ok maybe not boom, the lights off.

1/10/2006, Wednesday

Woke up at 5.30am to prepare no.4, got pop(passing out parade). After breakfast we had time to change and clear bunks. Then was pop. They read out the names of those who were promoted, no darren, was quite disappointed cos i relly tried. Was not relly looking for the rank, like karlton said its jus a piece of cloth, but its like i felt dat my standards were damn low when i realised dat i dint get promoted. Debrief, thought about the camp, was not very bad actually, part bs made it quite memorable, esp alfred the air con. Then after dat break camp. Go home, eat lunch, go for cip at 2pm. Went to bukit batok nature park. Then sit there wait wait wait. Finally the hqncc ppl wanted to start. Then it rained. We ran walked to the hdb flats while other ppl were scurrying around. Then sneak away, since hqncc dint even haf enough logistics, we even had to share on plastic glove among five ppl, one person use one finger then work together, in 10 mins we'll be able to pick up a tissue paper, wow. Went to west mall wif yu jie, yang cheng and gordon. Yang cheng and gordon wanted to go buy their ranks first, then yu jie extra go buy oso, then he say wad eventually will get promoted so buy first. Then on mrt he was staring at the rank and pulling out the loose strings, i bet he'll lose dat rank and he will haf to go buy again anyway.

Haiz dats all lar, after talking to yang cheng not so disappointed bout the promotion le, thx yc.
