phew. the week of slacking has passed. now's the real week. work work work again. stupid d & t test. as if we can complete the paper in half-hour's time. i was left with the last drawing for the plan view. damn, just forget about it. what's done is done. after the test was the mathematics lesson by mr george tan. he's quite a good teacher i must say. he teaches well. so we've learnt a bit about motion geometry today. and then after maths was the test run for the orienteering competition. zhao xiang had a council meeting so we only did some light running. it was so darn boring. back to yesterday. we had an INTENSIVE p.t yesterday. first was the company p.t, then the one taken by qi lun. the company p.t was okay, strenous but manageable. the one taken by qi lun was hell. we did 30 push-ups, 30 sit-ups, 30 burpees, 30 leg-raisers and 30 counts of four jumping jacks. this was followed by a one minute water break in which 4 people returned late and were taken as report sick. for their lateness, we had to do 20 push-ups as a punishment and after this we did the same routine, but this time it was reduced to 20 and lastly 10. please do not forget that this p.t was conducted after the company p.t and after we did 500 wave push-ups(25 men strength), 120 for absentees, 30 for arms drill mistakes and a lot a lot more. tired. so darn tired. so let's pretend that i did not tell you what i just told you. why is it that a lot of people say that NCC's trainings and boys are slack? tell me your honest opinion: do you think that NCC is slack? i will not go kill you or anything but i would like to know if you thnk that my CCA is slack and if it is, why is it so? or maybe you do not think that we are slack but you have a negative impression about us. please tell me why too. because i feel that the image that most students paint about AHSNCC is not true at all. some say that we are slack in our trainings. fine. let me ask you then, what do YOU do during YOUR cca trainings/practice. you say that we are slack, then let me see YOU go throught the training that we go through weekly. must we practice or train in front of you so that you can see what we're doing? you might it is routine for ncc boys to go throught these kind of trainings, or that our training is not up to NCC standards. okay. then would you please tell me what is the NCC standard, non-NCC students? let me tell you all out there who do not think that we are up to standards, be it yours or others. if you have anything that you are unhappy about NCC, or that you feel that we are not doing something right, do come and tell me or any of my seniors or platoonmates instead of disrespecting us. do not spread rumours about us that you yourself have no real proof that it actually happened. and most importantly, when we are in our NCC uniforms or NCC t-shirts, never ever EVER treat us as disrespectfully as you all might do when we are in school uniform. when we wear our uniforms, don't you all dare treat us like shit. even if you do no respect the person wearing the uniorm, please show some respect to the uniform. you might not understand why, but i advise you to. especially to that specific somebody whom i do not want to mention, i warn you again, treat me with more respect when i am in my no. 4. lastly, and once again, to all those people out there who feel that NCC is slack in any ways, please inform me on your thinking or feelings. we will try to change if we are really what you make us out to be. till next time.
