Today..was whacked up.
I know it's gonna be as soon as I woke up. I stubbed my toe on the bed post =X After a blurry breakfast, I picked up my schoolbag and made my way downstairs. After my bro was dropped off at school, my mom was next to be dropped off. She said:
"Ben, don't you have CCA?"
Err. OH GOD WHERE'S MY UNIFORM. We rushed back home and I ran up the stairs to take my uniform for training =X agh muddle-headed me.
I got to school, put my uniform in the store, got into class and slammed my head down at the point which marked 'X'. Then I remembered my promise to Hong You =X I made my way down to the store AGAIN to get him a pair of earplugs, NCC (land) was having their life range today for Marksmanship badge XD Then I had to meet Mr Goh. There goes my morning.
PE later was cool. At least there was more of a challenge and running playing handball. We learned that we can jump and shoot! Later we got really tired and decided to do 'extreme (drama) handball' "XD alot of draggy 'NOOOoooooo" and slow-mo throws and "Spam right analog + Square button to block!" =D
But later during free period, I got a bad stomach ache =X Came back to attack me from time to time throughout the day that I didn't even eat recess =( I felt drained by the time E math test ended.
2.30pm. NCC (air) time. I rushed to the store, thinking I was late, to find one solitary Gabriel inside.
"Omg. Where is the army of NCOs?"
Then it dawned upon me. ENGLISH ORAL. That cut the NCO force by more then half already. Then self studies for a couple. Thats 3/4 gone. Then remedials and "Oh-I-wanna-see-your-class-for-awhile" teachers. Thats like, 4/5 gone. I rushed to eat something and to change. I found Clarence and Gary inside as well.
"O.O How am I to conduct training with...a force of FOUR?"
I felt like I pressed 'New Game' in a RTS (real-time strategy) game. I'm the only senior spec. I have the 'units': Clarence Chia (secretary); Gabriel Lee (Part B Spec); Gary Lai (Supreme Council). And we're gonna take on training for like 40+ o.o Smallest. NCO. Force. Ever. I remember Clarence's 'words of advice':
"Learn to stretch a dollar =D"
Fine. We can do this. I think you guys should have noticed that we were really low on manpower XD I was betting on Yong Hwee coming down to help, since his oral's were over. Nevermind. Attendance was taken, valuables collected. I 'assigned' (I'm still stuck in this "game" o.o) Clarence to take charge of sec 1s, with Gabriel and Gary to take drills and teach a new one.
And I'm gonna solo Sec 2s. XD That's why at the start of training you guys only saw me checking your uniforms. After that 'units' Rong Xuan and Wei Jie joined the 'force', and it made things easier =) Thanks guys.
Draw rifles for the sec 2s. And we went off the revise the advanced arm drills C&C style. Hope you guys remember hor! Don't forget all your drills over these few weeks. And take the chance to practice your 'teaching' skills =) you guys need to do so in Leadership Camp. I called often to check on the sec 1s, its not easy managing two parts with this little people o.o
Then my 'saviour' came =D Yong hwee came to the rescue! He helped me take some of the sec 2s as well, then we taught them the 'U-shape' command. Then Weixuan too! Then I went to the store and Yu Cheng and Jared there too! My 'force' has doubled by 4.15 =D Phew. I saw Matthew Tang slacking about o.o tried to chase Wei Jie back to self study - It's good for you kays!
I changed for PT. So many people were suprised when I did so. I joined the sec 1s for PT, and Joel and I were 'swooping eagles' on our 'rifle preys' XD Sec 2s keep watch of your rifle! Took nothing today. I heard them doing like 100+ push-ups today o.o nutters.
We did circuit for the sec 1s. Was kinda uneventful until Duo Geng's nametag left on the floor fell into the drain! OMG. I went in to fish it out and go wash it. Sorry DG!
Then was Recreational training =D Another rifles game! Sec 1s and 2s this time. Objective? For either one side (sec 1's or 2's) to win as many rifles as possible...by a game of 'scissors-paper-stone' Yucheng's idea =D and I removed the violent 'rifle snatching' part and replaced with a harmless game of 'scissors paper stone'. =)
Rules: Ong guy would run up and tag someone with a rifle. Then they would 'fight it out'. Draw and both walks away. Lose and surrender your rifle/walk away with nothing XD Win and you get a rifle/keep your rifle. You must play if you're tagged! And only Sec 1 VS Sec 2, no internal fights XD
Soo funny =D The sec 2's without rifles formed a wall to block out the sec 1s, but it got broken down ^^ Then alot of random tagging and people fleeing with their rifles from taggers. Then there were ganging-up! *Seven sec 1s surround one sec 2 with a rifle. One guy tags, loses. The next guy tags immediately. The sec 2 loses. Rifle changes hand XD*
NCOs couldn't resist, we played as well XD Wakakaka so fun to take and lose rifles.
Lesson to learn? Don't leave it to LUCK :D
OHHO MY FAVOURITE. THE FORFEIT. The Sec 1s lost 8:13. Forfeit by Bryan Seah?
"Run and hug that floodlight post there. Every Sec 1 HUG it. No more space HUG the person"
OHHOO. It was dang comical XD I can't upload a pic of it. But they all squeezed and everything. And they gave a very soft cheer ._. Sec 2s showed them how it's done =) Then Mrs Chua came o.o Ahaha the sec 1s tried to give a water cheer! NICE TRY. In the end, they did give a good cheer. But can be better!
Nothing much later. Congratulations to all Sec 1's, you've all been promoted to Lance Corporals. Your first step to something bigger =) :D I remember the time when I got my first rank as well XD And to the aeromodelling team: Thank you for all your efforts towards the unit =) You've all done us proud in the competition, and Abraham/Jacob's "full marks" flight as well. Keep it up =)
Congrats to all NCC (land) Part C's who got their Marksmanship badges! =D
For those who signed up: Don't forget CIP on Sunday 0645 at front porch in No.3!
Two random pics:
The Face-off of Pet Rocks
"Go, Almost Flat Rock! Stone him!"
I couldn't resist XD It was so funny forming images in my head about pet Rocks fighting one another =D
I'm not under tremendous stress, Clarence. But thanks for all your great help today with the others =D
Sleeping eariler,
Balthus
And when you wake up, tell me if you made your mind. Cause I haven't been able to.
