After a rather long time, ORD has finally come.
Prep and all werent really well done, ut if you take into account the limited amount of time they were given, ceteris paribus, it was actually a job well done. Or at least thats what the inexperienced me thinks.
So it was the usual speeches,plauque giving, video montages with the exception of having no funky performances due to H1N1 ~_~ H1N1 has really really screwed quite a lot of things up, i mean although we( or at least me) somehow hope to get quarantined, i still gotta admit it has definitely upset-ted my everyday life and schedules. So like a very very very small group of my squadmates came back, which was rather sad cos i got kjw to sms almost everyone. Bravo to those who came though, they got to enjoy free cater food.Chao smsed me around like 12 telling me he just woke up when he should be there at 8 ): Oh yeah, we almost didnt get to use the auditorium because the environmentalists club booked it or somethin but in the end we managed to utilise the auditorium, no idea what happened though. Everything else was cut short, no npcc pledge, no muster parade boooo. 3 hour ORD aint fun.
Sorta reminded me of my ORD, but i really gotta admit with Sunny/Edwin in saying that our squad, with greater emphasis on the guys, are really bloody camwhores >)Like we really went round to take pictures with everyone. TOs, HOs, juniors, seniors, whoever, we'll just pull him/her into the camera and start snapping. Good days good days. Somehow this wasnt that apparent in this sec4 squad, not even the girls seem to take a lot of pictures, or maybe i didnt really notice. hmmm.....
So Sunny/Edwin are ORDing or rather ORDed along with letts,stella and jieheng. To me, nhnp has definitely lost 2 especially important assets, Sunny was the type of CI who was really hard to find. Not because what he did, but because what he dares to do. Sunny was actually my sec1 IC, back then he wasnt that old and stuff, but he pretty much remained the same. You know, sunny wasnt really helping out in the hard skills part of the unit, he was really pushing on the soft skills part. Discipline, attitudem, etc etc. Best thing is he can realy switch between crazy freakomaniac to really serious/fierce/to-the-point and sensical/logical cadet inspector. This, I sincerely salute to you, CI Gan Jia Hao, aka sunny. Not many people call him sunny too, considering that its his secondary school nickname, i think im one of the only few who still insist on calling him with his nickname lol.
The next para would be really a thank you note to Edwin. Perhaps one of my most respected fellow CIs, he is really one damn imba hard and soft skills person. I remember i was teaching the sec3s orienteering during their nco course, edwin didnt even need to refer to any notes or whatsoever when it was his turn to take over. Like wth lol, i had to print notes for myself and stuff and somehow everything seemed to just pour out from his head O.O Hes a really good dude who really goes all out to improving the cadets and the unit on the whole, mind you, hes been with nhnp for like what, 9 years. Thats including his cadet/nco years, but even so thats like a hell of a long time man, considering that we're so young. So on behalf of nhnp, i think i can really say we thank you for all your contributions and all to the unit.
ORD really just means new blood taking over, hopefull the sec3s would be able to do a fine job in maintaining the unit's standard. Today was also my first event after being a CI since graduating on the 27th of june, then i was thinking, would i be able to make a change or at least provide the necessary assisstance of aiding the sec3s to bring the unit up to a gold. Sunny told me sometimes its time to be soft, sometimes its not, but somehow i just dont see myself scolding and yelling at cadets/ncos, i mean, i prefer to settle things the 'teach less, learn more' way, cos somehow i find it a rather effective method. I dont know what im afraid of though, putting a fierce front, or getting angry over the mistakes, is it becaus im afraid that i'll lose control? I really have to say its been long since i got angry, not pissed or sian-ned, and i dont really like the feeling of it. Its like not being me anymore la, but then again you dont have to be fierce to get stuff done, just have to be stern, like B.Lim lol.
Ah, so little things, so little time. STC, Milestone assessment tests 2 comin up, Project Work, and i still have to actually make time to practice the guitar pieces being practiced during the practice hours to compensate for the times i've skipped guitar for NP. :O Would i crumble into dust someday? Nah, though i got all this shit that i've gotta do, im sure everyone else is busy too. Check out amandaang, considering to take up a 6th cca. You go girl! o.o Boo to JC life, lucky its only 2 years. With all the work piling up, im wondering whether i can really afford to spend time to go down for campcraft com trainings in future man :S The trainings are like so intensive, like i remember mine was EVERYDAY after school. Damn tired but in the end we top 30 seh, dont play play.
Instead of saying FML like everyone else, I think i'll say that life is rather occupied-ful if theres such a word, but im sure it'll get better, hopefully. Or
maybe its just that i've been slacking so much thats why im so 'busy' Hmmm.....
