THOSE LOVELY MEMORIES (:

the past 5 days were occupied by npcc. went back to sch from monday to thursday for np 'tour de force' course. it's a course conducted by our CIs and we have been going back to sch everyday from 8am to 6pm. learned lots of new things and the activities we did were all different from what we usually do in normal trainings. shall not go into details about everyday but i think i will just blog about the major activities that we did (:

Rope Obstacles
it isn't my first time trying out rope obstacles but it was sure my first time learning how to tie a rope obstacle [: it isn't easy at all cause the rope is so thick and super heavy and you have to exert so much force in order to make the tension good enough. of course,it requires alot of people to tie it and lots of teamwork too. i tried pulling the rope and it was really hard,haha. as it was raining that day,we had to do it in the canteen and the canteen was wet and slippery,so you have to try not to slip and fall while pulling the rope. we tried tying 2 obstacles namely the 'double rope pull' and the 'warden's walk' which took us about 2 hours to finish tying them. after that,we were given an hour to try on the obstacles. i didn't try though cause there isn't enough time,so we let the juniors try it. i think it's really nice cause you get that kind of sense of satisfaction when you tie your own obstacle and try on it :D

CSI (Crime Scene Investigation)
played this game on wed and it was very very fun =) haha,at least its something different and i've never played it before. as the name suggests,we're given a case and in our groups,we are supposed to solve the case. our CIs came up with the story and the information of the victims and suspects. they created the crime scenes and used the classrooms as rooms of the different suspects. from there,we are supposed to go to the crime scene and the rooms to look for clues then come up with a conclusion on how the case took place. it took us about 3 hrs to play the game and in the end,all of us came up with different conclusions and some were really funny (:

Field Cooking
it was a complete different experience. instead of cooking the normal instant noodles and canned food using mass tins and solid fuel,this time,we cooked chicken,rice,soup,vegetables etc! mr lee bought many food like fishballs,fish fillet,sausages crabmeats,veggies,chicken and lots of other stuffs and we are supposed to cook using just mass tins and solid fuel. my group cooked rice,fried fish fillet,mashed potatoes,stir-fried the veggies and made scrambled eggs. theresa and i also made soup!!! haha,we added fishcakes,sausages,crab meat and egg into our soup,with a little soy sauce,pepper and sesame oil,our soup was delicious!!! haha,not that i'm bragging but it's really nice ok,haha,at least theresa and I think that it's nice (: it was my first time cooking veggies and all that with mass tins and solid fuel. the experience was great and i guess everyone enjoyed it alot =D

the course was a fun one,and i really got to know my np juniors better :D think the CIs and officers put in alot of effort to plan for this course and we really want to thank them.
THANK YOU SIRS!!! :]

------------------------------------

after the course on thurs,i went for the prefects graduation party for the sec 4s. want to apologise for being very very late. anyway,the food was great and i want to thank all those who helped to organise it. a big sorry to all prefects for not helping much with the organisation of the party as i have np course for the 4 days,sorry guys :(

to all sec 4 prefects: you all have been great seniors who never fail to give us advice. thank you very much for all your guidances. hope that you all enjoyed the party :D

------------------------------------

yst was the day when the new sec 1s report to school. we went back to school to do ushering and road marshall duty. reached school at 6.30am,changed to full-u and then assembled in the parade square. checked the uniforms of the cadets and then the sec 2 i/cs briefed everyone on what to do. got into our positions by 7.45am and we started on our duty. i was at the main gate doing the ushering job. everything went well until when the sec 1s proceeded to the canteen to buy their books. it was messy there and many parents were complaining about the schools' poor organisational skills. luckily,the problem was solved and we just continued doing our duties till 11am. yupp,that's roughly about it,nothing much to say. haha ;]

------------------------------------

i'm really exhausted these few days and i seriously need my sleep. haha,finally i'm free today and i'm gonna go shopping with priscilla and theresa!!! it's been a long time since i went shopping with them xD
