NCO Leadership Camp 2008

20th of December 2008
A very special and exciting day of my life in st john. Today is the day all the helpers will enter N.C.O Camp 2008. At 9am sharp all trainers are required to be at HQ for training. At 1st we all planned to practice our performance for the Malam Budaya on the camp's 3rd night, however things always go beyond what it is supposed to be. Our leader Sergeant Shu, the head of our trainer group suddenly say we are suppose to be training under him until 2pm. Oh my god, am i going to die. 5 hours of training under him, the 2 hours training under him last week is already a terrible nightmare for me. I guess the other trainers are thinking the same too. He says he is a democratic person however he only agree with thing he think is correct. What a suffer working under him. Not long after a few hours of sickening talk by him our camp commander, Sir Ting came back with our lunch. Yes finally a few minutes of peaceful time.

After lunch, its nightmare time again. Luckily, i made an early and call my team to have a discussion about that time. For the 1st time my trainees saved my life.
Finally some time to rest, we had our performance discussion. Our discussion was called to order by our director Shy Wei and Khong Ming. After some discussion we did some training. I am involved in the Malay dance part which required me to perform Modern dance. (i didnt know there is any common between Modern and Malay dance, dont ask me) My partners for this dance is Chern Jern, Hwei Ann, and Kai Chin. Its quite interesting and exciting to work with them. Especially when i got the chance to dance wih girls. At night we have our 1st dinner by the helper. It is fried mee with cabbage( thats why camper you all should be grateful we fasi have 2 meal extra then you all) After the dinner it is our meeting, Sir Ting call it to be order. After the meeting the first thing we get is scolding from HIM again for being 1 minute late before the meeting have even started. He really wanted to give us nightmare just right before our sleep time.

Thats all for the 1st Day of the camp(AJK's day)



21st of December 2008
Today is the 1st day of camp for the members. Before the arrival of the members Sir Ting wanted us to take part in the morning exercise just at least for the 1st day. The fasi all agreed happily( because Sir Ting this is the 1st and the last time we are taking part in it, so no one will interupt our beauty sleep for the following days) The exercise took us 1 hour from 6am till 7am. Therefore after 7am we can see all the trainers run up and down getting themselves cleaned up because most of them order their members to come at 7.30am( me too)
The feeling is quite good when I worn my uniform with the Sergeant ranking and a tag which is printed SARJAN LOOI.( very big almost 3cm in height and yet most member still tend to ignore it...lol). For the female sergeant with their new uniforms especially Hsin Lin, Chooi Sin and Wui Meng they actually look like madams more than sergeants.
For the 1st time I see my trainees in full uniform(except for Donivald) , I realise that they dun really know how to wear it properly. Since no orders are given regarding their uniform so i didnt punish them just merely correct their mistakes.After a roll call, all the members went in the main hall for the opening ceremony and a brief photo session. Then Sir Ting called for a roll call for the flag raising ceremony by Seow Neng, Kheng Heng and Chung Park.
Lunch time, I can see the members are quite curious to have their 1st lunch in camp until they see some porridge rice which is added just enough water to make it look like a kuih pulut. Some even asked what is it. Pity them because have to finish all of it, not to mention it is burnt. Most the sergeants doesnt dare to eat including me of course.
Next for the marching session is quite a challenge for me. I am very unease when training the nursings because I need to correct their mistakes without touching which is quite hard for me. However it is a new experience for me.( i dont think anyone in the dvision try it before)
The 1st day is continued with a few lectures which all trainers are begging to have some rest. For game sessions I got no comments.( because i am zZzZz in the AJK room). Dinner is quite an improvement because the no more porridge rice just some pure porridge whch one the camper eat until he vomit.( take note he swallowed back the ******, just i magine how tasty is the porridge)

THAT ALL FOR THE 1ST DAY OF CAMP...................
