CSS NCC June Camp 06
Damn it. Why do I have to miss that god damn place? CSS is moving for good!!! WHY!!?? Haiz...sian...sadz..sobz... :(
Just got the confirmation that CSS is going to shift to a new place at Teban Gardens in the next one year or so. The last time I remembered regarding this issue was that CSS was just moving out temporarily to allow the building to be renovated. But it looks like now, its going to be torn down and a new school is to be built. It is pretty confirmed that CCS's new site would be at the place where RVHS used to be, the place opposite Pandan Reservoir.
Feeling kinda sad that this had to happen. CSS is really unique, a one-of-the-kind school structure. I mean, where else in Singapore can you find a school built on some sort of a hill? Even if there is, its not common. I am really going to miss that damn place. That place where I had my fair share of endless fun and excruciating pain. Haiz...this is really disheartening. Ex-manwealthians, I suggest that you guys try to take your last walk there before its too late. Lols...
I suddenly feel so attached to CSS considering that I had a couple of really bad moments there.
That's kinda weird.
Just came back from CSS NCC June Camp. A 3-day 2-night stay. Booked in on Monday morning. After that, the cadets were taught on how to construct a bashah. Not really successful due to the lack of equipment. Anyway, they had field cooking for lunch out at the field. The weather was really hot I must say. After that, the cadets were to revise their Trainfire and IFC lessons. And then followed by dinner. Wah lao....the food ah...damn sian...I think worse than the one catered from SFI or Lion Kitchen. The quantity was okay but the quality? Wa....but then it didn't really matter to me because it's expected of a NCC camp. It's meant NOT to be comfortable. After that they had their wash up and then AAR. They disliked the field cooking.That was expected as well because of the intense heat. Then they had their supper after which most of them were sent to sleep. Some of the Part Bs and Part Cs were gathered that night to sort out sentry duties.
The sky was clear.
The moon was full.
Not really a good sign.
True enough, that extra kay poh kiah appeared but it wasn't me who saw or experience it. It was one of those people from sentry duties...the 3 specs. from Part C...Guna, Shazni and Shafiq. They were patrolling somwhere at the middle block and saw 'it' at the home econs block. They saw 'it' following them and they just ignored it. They told me there were scared of course and at that time it was like about 0245 to 0300hrs...I was awaken for a while at the canteen due to the cold I guess and went back to sleep. Anyway, the good thing is that it didn't created chaos and everyone was kinda safe. Well, so far, I had not seen any of them yet, be it in school or outside. But somwhow I coul feel it. Especially during the briefing before they were dispatch. Anyway, that was some encounter for them....I think it is that banana tree up there and also I've heard of past incidents happening at the home econs block. So ya...that place is some sort dirty.
Then morning came. Everyone assembled at the PS to carry out a simple flag raising ceremony. After that PT began....it was pretty good. A job well done pushing the cadets to their limits. I did with them as much as possible, assisting them at other times. The fitness of the juniors are deteriorating and what I heard was the 1 PT session per week was implemented. So I hope that would help. Then they had breakfast...it was plain bee hoon. Then, Zhe Liang told me that we CLTs had to conduct MOC. We had to come up with something fast and managed to create our own set of obstacle course. Taking into consideration that we had limited resources, we managed to pull off a good one, striking the balance between using litte resources and providing a tough challenge for the cadets. And of course, the hot weather didn't help much. :) Then, in the midle of the MOC, we noticed a police van and truck at the abandoned primary school with dogs as well. And then I noticed a female police officer wallking towards us. I thought wshe wanted to talk to us or something but then she just wanted to use the toilet... suspense only...hahaz..but there was one thing, she was from SOC. After that, we had lunch before proceeding with drills and tests on IFC and Trainfire lessons. Then, dinner was served. After dinner, the Part A went up to AVA room to watch Army Daze. The rest were to train on their drills. I was there with them and most of the Part B is capable of executing drills with the expected standard. It was pretty commendable. At around 11 all of them were already in bed after taking their supper. That night was hell for them. There was a turnout and Night PT and Activity was being commenced. Operation Rain as said by Clement was also successful.The Part Cs were able to communicate well and get the cadets to shelter when the rain came. And then at around close to 5, the interview for OCBC took place. It went pretty well and we managed to select the award winners. After that, all was peacefully sleeping. I went around to do a bit of patrolling ALONE.It was still dark and I admit that I was kinda scared la...hahaz..but nothing happened. I could stay awake becuz before that I already had my sleep when the night stuff went on. It was pretty peaceful too... :)
Oh ya...the extra sentry appeared again on the second night but that was early at around 7-8pm...this time it was Guna and Ragu...they were sitting at the wall at the fitness corner when they heard laughter. Guna saw it at the primary school somwhere at the tree...then they got off the wall and quickly madetheir way back to the canteen. It think they like Guna la....hahaz...
Last day of the camp. They had some morning exercise for a while before being sent for breakfast. And then they had another round of MOC. This time with timing and competition. The cadets did unexpectedly faster than the day before....it just proves that they CAN do it if they want to. It was good for them I guess and I hope they had enjyed it instead of taking it as a torture. It was meant to allow the Part Bs to hone their leadership skills and the Part As to challenge themselves physically. I can say it was hell for most of them. By the end of the camp....everyone was half dead.
Going to have another camp next week I think. At HQ NCC.
I am going to miss the school on the hill...haiz...lolx...
