Gah.
I'mma too tired to describe Part D Hands-On, it's not too worth it. The activities were really 'hands-on' only on the 2nd day, learning about the operations and procedure of air traffic control. Though catching sight of real examinations going on in the Air Force School was very intriguing., there were only two highlights that made Hands-On interesting: One was meeting David again. Two was the talk about...well...wow. It was crazy.
After day 1 on the bus home, Wei Xuan, Brandon and I were talking and somehow we got into the topic about space, expanding universe, stars imploding, the Big Bang, time paradox, quantum physics, etc. (You -really- had to keep awake to follow the conversation) Apparently Wei Xuan wants to be a astronaut in the future o.o
Then when we got back to the store, somehow we started the topic of time dilation with the question: Is time relative? Bryan and Wei Xuan led the debate on for a full 45 minutes with no breaks O.O
On day 2, a whole lot of people joined into the conversation, but Wei Xuan, Bryan and Brandon were taking the lead. Wei Xuan's stand was, the speed of light is always constant in vacuum and time varies, depending on your frame of reference. Brandon's stand was both the speed of light and tome can be changed. Bryan's stand was time is always constant. Diagrams were illustrated and ideas exchanged o.o
Never have I seen us NCC air guys together speaking in such a sophisticated manner, it beats speaking about gambling and gambling techniques and gambling to win money anyday. As quote Hui Yang: "We're Air-GEEKS." :D Who cares, we enjoy such talks!
Actually to date, we're still undecided as a whole towards the relativity of time =P
And Friday was the first day the sec 1s joined our training. 30 of them. Training was super hectic, don't wanna describe how we were co-ordinating so many activities at once. The sec 1s had to go for theory of flight lesson ASAP for their HQ course next week (first badge so fast!) and had to try out all their uniforms. During their times of fall-in they weren't fidgeting as much as I expected, this batch might actually be good. Time will tell in the next few trainings, but I'm quite happy with them so far.
And for those who still don't know, we have a new Teacher Officer who introduced himself on Friday, he's Mr Joshua Chan, and he'd be 2LT as soon as he completes the NCC TO Course. So everyone greet him when you see him during and outside training hours.
NPCC had their master parade on Friday too. Congrats all those who got their well-deserved promotions! Jian Shen got his Staff, Hanwen got his Staff (still. I know you got it since last year!), and ESPECIALLY YOU JOEL! Joel got his promotion to Sergeant! CCOONNGGRRAATTTTSSS *snapsnapsnapsnapsnapsnap* haha NPCC SGT Joel. Cool ^^
I hope Yong Kang's okay after he apparently, "scalded" his eyes. One moment he was super hyper to go up and catch sight of Pierce Sec 2 NPCC girls, saying NPCC girls are cute, the next moment he was like RARRGH. Nutter XD
And Jackson, Si Hua, YK and Sebastian "attacked" me after training. Don't wanna describe how XD
Saturday was fun! After chinese remedial, I went to the store, then I went to cut my hair while some other air guys went to ready the lo hei. After I had my cut we went back to school and I 'played' tennis - or rather, kept whacking the tennis ball over to the other end of the court. Played with Keefe (CSM team!) against KO and Hanwen.
We saw Scouts come back from their Venture Run XD They all look like dying, yet Li Ren looks so alive (wow.) I wonder if Wei Yang and other scouts got the punch they wanted (by punch, I mean their promotion o.o)
After a call from Rong Xuan we all went to the canteen, and I called Mr Teo down. LO HHEEEIII for NCC air NCOs! We invited all the other guys who were playing tennis and basketball with us down also :D After throwing every other thing we were provided onto the dish, we readied our chopsticks, and attempted some Chinese phrases:
"Err, nian nian you yu?"
Then Yong Hwee went high and started the lo hei, yelling "A1!". We all ended up yelling "A1A1A1A1A1!" while throwing the noodles all over the table =D Yea, we'd get our A1s ^^ Yong Hwee was still high and shouting things like: "KO ONE A1!" Hahah we ate and then after clearing up, left for home. At least we had a lo hei too ^^
As eventful as ever, Li
