Nat Comp 2013, a Beautiful Ending

Sunday was their Nat. Comp...and they did extremely well!!! 

Really feel so proud of them and they indeed proved to us that they are the BEST!!!

AA 8

1st in Footdrill

3rd in First Aid Long Case

Overall 3rd!!!

AC 8

3rd in Footdrill!!!

NC 10

1st in Home Nursing

1st in Footdrill

Overall 3rd!!!

Super happy with NC results....as I really didn't expect them to get 1st for Home Nursing...I don't dare to pin such high hopes on that as I don't want them to be stressed up and partly so that won't be so disappointed

While waiting for their home nursing case, was telling Wenjun that actually I really hoped that NC could get something back for Home Nursing...one of the reasons was because to compensate my regrets for not being able to go for Nat. Comp due to H1N1 four years back.. And THEY DID IT!!

Can't believe it when they announced that we got 1st in Home Nursing and I started screaming and tearing like dunno what... 😁

And we met our goal!! To get something back for footdrill!!

Thank you NC!!! Now...I would have no regrets anymore...

Not forgetting AA and AC, you all did really well also!! Even though I wasn't directly involved in your trainings...no matter what...thank you very much for letting me to be a part of this big family...

I really appreciate it!!!

The feeling that I have when the teams were going into the waiting room in the morning was that...'it might gonna be their last time... And also mine too'

Don't know to feel happy or sad at that point of time...just wished that time will past by faster...all of them to be able to learn something from the comp.

Now that everything has ended...the teams will have to go back to focus on their studies...instructors also...we will be seeing one another lesser.... The feeling was....is everything going to end just like that?

No matter what... RSS SJAB!!! We are the best!!!

RSS SJAB

RSS camp has ended...
and this camp might be the last corps camp that I will be involved in the planning..

many things that happened throughout these 2 years... and what happened during the camp was just one of the factors that made me broke down...and made the decision

I don't blame anyone or anything for what has happened.... nobody is at fault...
it maybe due to the reason that the environment and the culture is no longer "suitable" for me to stay on.. or perhaps myself being unable to adapt to the situation could be the main reason...

No matter what.... I still thank RSS SJAB for giving me the opportunity to learn and also lead the cadets.. and seeing batches of cadets passing out every year...I would feel a sense of satisfaction...even though I may not be directly involved in their learning process but still... I would still like to say THANK YOU

and of course RSS SJAB for who am I now...without them... I would not have the opportunity to be the OIC of RSS SJAB for these 2 years... which I really treasure it...



not forgetting the friendship and bonds that was formed during my 8 years in RSS SJAB.. from Sec 1 till now

of course not forgetting my batch mates.. though we may not be as close to each other.. we may have conflicts
it is fate that brings us together...to work together... to play together...
WELCOME TO MY LIFE is the song that we first sung together as a batch.. which was during the farewell party of the Sec 4s & 5s of 2006.

and also the juniors...which I treated them like my own little brothers and sisters... which I really wanted to take care of them...but then there's only "so much" that I can do for them.
I will always address those cadets as my kids whenever I am with my other officers and friends...which I really treated them like my own...

the amazing feeling that I have whenever I go for their farewell party is that "They were only just Sec 1s when they just joined us... saying they want to change cca...want to quit st john....
now they are already Sec 4s/5 already...held different roles... now they are the big sisters and brothers" is like "wah~~" the unexplainable feeling I have...


especially the 2009 batch of Sec 1s... I'm already Sec 4 when they first came in....and I didn't really had the chance to teach them or talk to them during activities... but I just felt very attached to them
I wouldn't want them to get scolded...or get punished...I just want to protect them...

Felt extremely touched when they came for the camp this year...helped me with triage...and running of the camp..(even though we spent most of the time playing in the bunk =p )
Esp. when they made an effort to come for the camp in Full Uniform, and even went to buy new uniform parts.

They helped me in handling the situation when I really felt very demoralised over what happened the night before... they know when I needed help the most....and they will lend their helping hand to me...
which I really appreciate them for the help....

Even though we are of 3 years difference...but I find no difficulties in communicating and playing with them... instead I really felt like I'm of their age when I mingle with them... I can throw away all my troubles...and really let my hair down...
I find no barriers in sharing my problems with them... even though they didn't say anything...but I can feel that they can understand where I'm coming from...

They are the group of people whom we can have fun together...laugh together... play together... eat together... joke together... and also the people whom I can trust....and cry in front of them(LOL!)
I will definitely treasure this bond between us....

Of course not forgetting Gavin...THANK YOU for guiding me throughout my Officership.. Esp. when it comes to Corps matters...you indeed helped me a lot in solving issues and problems...
RSS SJAB wouldn't have come so far without your guidance.

And also the Teachers... I would say that it has been a really good experience working with you all...
I really learnt many things from you all.. be it SJ matters... or school matters.. I really benefitted a lot.

THANK YOU Ms Teo for being my big sister during these 4 years... I would say I did enjoy the time that we worked together.. and sometimes I really cant helped laughing at your funny comments/complaints. I did learnt a lot during my time in RSS SJAB... and without RSS SJAB..
I will not be what I am now... RSS SJAB did play a very big role in my life..

RSS SJAB...THANK YOU for leaving good memories with me in my SJ journey
I will always remember you...the people...and everything

I really APPRECIATE and THANKFUL for what I have now.

I still can't forget him

2 months since my internship ended.... Has been spending time at home with mama taking care of ah boy... And also Sjab.... Going down for activity....

Whenever I go for cca, I really felt meaningless....really... It feel as if that I'm going down for the sake of doing it.... No longer see the purpose anymore...

However, after the recent issue... Which I had the chance to have 'heart to heart' talk with them.. I felt that I've the responsibility to teach them how to handle face challenges... I NEED and I CAN play a part to guide them

They all have the capability.... They have the 心 and hope for the best of the corps...and they want the cadets to learn as much as possible... Is just that they would need to learn how to adapt to changes and play by the ear.... As things does not always go with their way all the time... At times, we would need to learn to overcome obstacles

POP for the sec 4s next week.... We haven't had such Passing out parade for the graduating seniors before.... And not to mention about the handing over parade that we had last year... Hopefully all these new initiatives can continue on to the next few batches...and of course new ideas are definitely welcomed!

The 4th farewell party I'm going to attend ever since I graduated.... 4th batch of cadets I've seen them from Sec 1 all the way to Sec 4.... Some even Sec 5....

Though some I've not personally taught them.... It feel as if my group of kids have grown up.... And embarking on their next phase of life.... At least I've tried and managed to be part of their journey.. Even it's just a tiny weeny part.... At least I know I've tried

几年前的今天.....

Year 2012

Year 2012 has indeed been a happening year for me... New challenges, new experience, new attempts, new milestone

Taking up new roles.. Moving up to a different level.. Embarking to a new phase of my life..

Firstly for school.. Final year of poly life.. Moving on to 3rd year of poly, now left another 6 weeks left to go for internship.. Soon I will be waiting for graduation.. And I would have to make a decision on what I want move on after poly.. Whether to work first, or to continue studying... Is another big decision that I have to think about thoroughly

But then, for internship in Ascendas is definitely an eye-opening experience for me.. I learnt that working in the society is really different from what I imagined.. Specifically into working in a office environment, it's not as easy as what I initially thought..
Nevertheless, I did enjoyed myself during these 4 months

Secondly, family..
New family member added.. The arrival of Kayden has definitely changed my view of FAMILY.. A baby really brings joy to the family.. But then I would have to overcome my own barrier... Which I have always been struggling very hard to do so

2012 has really been an eventful year..

1. ANCOC POP
2. Zone Comp
3. Arrival of Kayden
4.Annual Camp
5. Internship at Ascendas
6. NCOC 2012
And the list goes on...

I can say that I bring back many things after every event.. In terms of learning point.. Experience.. Different impact..

However.. Especially for NCOC.. Which had definitely made an impact in me.. Even though it has been my 3rd year in NCOC.
Every year, as all of move on, taking up different roles at different levels.. Different perspective.. Which made me think differently at every aspect..
Which also made me discover myself in depth..

Hopefully 2013 will be a better year for everyone... And most importantly everybody to stay healthy and happy!!
Happy new year!!
