SJI NCC Centennial Company Camp 2006
Sorry its been so long, but I’ve been trying to catch up on work for the last week of school…
Anyway, its the holidays… FINALLY!
But last week, it was a whole different scenario. The thing to look forward to was not the end of the school term, but the end of camp!
Although there were cool changes like the Alliance System (which I think ROX), there were also times which brought even more disdain for NCC, like killer drills (by Sir Algae) and Psycho Night…
Let’s start from the beginning… I made new friends like John, Shen Shin, Jeremy, Soon Kiat, Jarrold, Jerry, Benjamin, Andrew… Did I get that right? Hmm…. Hope I did (Sorry Part A’s), but I bonded more with the Sec 2’s, esp the more friendly and outspoken ones… Even some from other alliances knew me, like Daniel and Damien…
Apart from the lovely people I met and worked with, I was extremely surprised by the slackiness of the camp (to my advantage, of course)… Hardly any pumping, and held while everyone was dropping sick like flies… Lolz =P
A few interesting events during camp;
Nightwalk was held SO DAMN FRICKING near my house that I was longing to run away, and return to my bed… We walked out of Tanglin Ave onto Tanglin Rd pass Chatsworth Rd and Chatswort Ave… I was like OMG LET ME GO HOME!!! But other than that, the walk through the "haunted building" was pretty un-scary, but interesting all the same… Nice try, A for effort, dear specs =P
Peer Mediation Talk; MEDIATION & YOUth technically isn’t part of the camp, but part of Legion training as a senior. However, I had to go in the morning, when everyone else was doing PT and IFC (YAY!)… It was quite interesting, simply because I never knew mediation was such a big thing, applied in so many different cases, officially and unofficially (in Law and in School)… Simply fascinating, even though others couldn’t see that…
Games session was after a "mandatory rest period" which was due to the number of ppl falling sick… Anyway, we dominated in each game, but overall we lost by ONE POINT to A5… Doesn’t matter, A1 still ROX the most!!! Strategy and skill…
Psycho Night was not unnecessary, but I hated it all the same… Just like I hate anything to do with NCC…
Booking out was the most anticipated part, after diamming through a whole parents’ seminar, and performing out muster parade for the parents… Wasn’t that just glorious, leaving school after tolerating so much…
ONE WEEK LATER
I’m still alive, after the last week of school, only to go through ANOTHER training, this time not even guaranteed to be fun at all whatsoever… I am living proof of my survival through that training… Only a few more months now…
Have to learn drills for proficiency test… How dumb… Not that I’m not interested in the drills, its just that my hols are already so damn packed… Now we have training next Thurs… Grrr…
God help me.
