it all seemed so recent...
yr1 to yr2 to yr3 n to now...
i could almost rmbr when i was juz a yr1...
u can say tt i was a damn slack cadet...
everything i did was nth to be proud of or show of...
perhaps i was juz attending activity because i had to...
i dun really noe tt now...
yongqiang sir, yongan sir, weizhou sir, weiying ma'am...
our very first squad NCOs...
i would most probably nvr forget them...
they had left such a deep impression...
not juz because they were the ones who brought us into NP...
taught us the basics...
its much more than tt...
i can still clearly rmbr a PT session, whr we ran arnd the canteen n the field back then...
thr was oso the barang pt session... our one n only...
carrying each other's bag n tinking... who the heck brought such a heavy bag?!
not letting the bags touch the floor...
we ran up n down stairs whr it would help us rest alot more...
we learnt our very first knots here...
even for drill we managed to reach all the way to sizing command n saluting on march...
songs n cheers... i bet i would nvr forget "glory"...
rebellious yet funny... rmbr when the OC came, it became the alphabet song?
angels n not doing anything else hahaz...
its really funny now tt u tink of it...
when we had to take turns to report, my very first time was to the NP room...
to the CIs, quanrui sir, qiwen sir...
u could imagine the fear tt was striked into me...
but now... they dun really seem to be so scary anymore hahaz...
the drilling taken by the Cis behind the science block...
under the afternoon sun...
everyone was sweating lik mad... no one complained... no one dared to fidget...
i guess it was then tt we were seriously trained to perfect our sedia, senang diri n kekanan lurus...
they refused to move on to others as long as we didnt do it well...
the holding of kekanan lurus...
it was so long tt everyone was barely holding on... but aft tt... all of us really felt tt we really accomplished something...
the yr1 innocence... not really understanding anything... doing juz wat i had to n nth more...
guess u can call me average or even slack... it was the onli time i fell out without a reason...
POP06, came n went... didnt understand the real meaning... thus it juz went n then another batch of NCOs took over...
yr2 was real surprising... as all of us really seemed to hve become real gd friends overnight or smething...
then it was almost lik the bonds... u can almost see some grp of us always together with our sqdmates...
the feeling u will hve with them... its seriously indescribable...
tis was also the time then i really became more 'enthu' as u say it...
though it is not really shown... i did put in more effort... i did more than i m expected to... i tried in everything...
as a silent worker... all those was obviously behind the scenes...
yet again... i had not proven myself...
quanyi sir, waisiang sir, kenneth sir, daphne ma'am, chunying ma'am...
my 2nd batch of NCOs which went thru our 'golden' year with us...
tis yr is supposingly the most fun yr...
but mass display took up most of the time we were supposed to hve with them...
therefore, i really understand how they muz hve felt back then... since i missed so much with the yr1s as well...
mass display u could say was one of the best things tt happened to us...
learning the fancy drill in yr2 was juz one of the many traditions tt our sqd had broken...
if u really strt counting... the traditions tt we had broken muz hve been rather alot...
it was also during tis period of time tt i suddenly found out tt i could do alot of stuff...
pumping seemed to be a rather easy thing... vertical pull-ups became of ok to me as well...
the most significant change muz had been my 2.4km
frm p6, 1.6km - 13mins+ to yr1, 2.4km - 11mins+ to yr2, 2.4km - near 10mins
unknowingly i had became stronger... much stronger than i was ever be4...
so with mass display taking up most of the time... our yr2 life seemed seemingly short...
then before we knew it, it was POP again...
n tis time... i cried... as in really...
the feeling to lose NCOs tt taught u for lik so long...
nvm...
the night catching aft POP07 to get hugs was seriously rather fun...
not even knowing whr the NCOs ran to n trying to chase n catch the stronger them in the dark :D
yr3 was more than bonding...
we sort of became one large family...
training squad08...
training course, training camp...
we went thru it together...
it was seriously unforgettable things tt we had all gone thru together...
X:How many days have you all not bathe?
Y:Err... we don't normally bathe during camps one... not enough time...
X:Hmm... you all should really go bathe... you all smell...
Y:Huh? Got meh? o.O"
tis conversation seems familiar?
yeah... it was during a lecture all right...
when we were all tired n sleepy...
i could rmbr clearly tt we were all made to bathe n then report again as a sqd be4 we were allowed to leave sch LOL...
ruixiang sir, yushang sir, yutse ma'am, geokfen ma'am...
these 4 NCOs could be said to be really the friendliest to us...
they would be strict when needed be...
but then again... soon aft tt we were taken by the CIs again...
the sqd strted to compete within ourselves as well hahaz...
then POP08... ok i screwed up...
end of story... :X
campcraft comp... trngs n stuff... all the things tt were funny n joy... always fun :D:D
yr4 was the time when all of us became busy with our own schedules...
webmaster n av/ic was stuff tt could only be done when needed to...
so during activities i was damn free...
all of us had our stuff to do...
the sqd was basically always empty...
with the sqd NCOs gone to take their respective squads...
duty Ns, first aiders... thr arent many ppl left for junchong sir n xingfang ma'am to take...
i rmbr most of the activities acting as a first aider n going around the sqd... occasionally making some comments...
then the day i was duty N, more than half the unit was not present cause got area CIP...
so not wanting to stay in the bags room, i went abt finding the other NCOs present in sch...
then aft screwing up AC again... (why do i keep screwing things up haizzz...)
my NP life changed once again aft i became a sqd NCO myself...
at first i was rather scared tt i wouldnt get the position but... yeah hahaz...
it really marked another change as now i must pass wat i noe to my juniors, my squad...
the 5 of us... 1 muz play the evil role... i did... i chose to be the devil...
all the others preferred to remain neutral or gd... but its a position tt muz be taken...
to command fear... to command order...
but ironically, me n wq being in the same cls, ended up hving the most contact with the sqd...
she was the one handling teachers, n me... cadets... yeah tts lik... lol... since she is better with both the cadets n teachers...
ya... becoming one of the year1 sqd N was yet another thing tt really affected me alot...
i liked the role... i was glad to be of some help...
i tried... i might hve failed...
but i dun regret it...
now tt the pop is short 3hrs... i dun tink i really mind tt is...
i didnt work hard all these yrs for these presents...
i did it because i wanna...
NCOSQUAD0809, from a sqd of 33 in yr1,
vincent n amanda left, leaving us with 31...
leeying left at the end of yr2, leaving us with 30...
a sqd tt is still strong no matter wat happens...
it might hve ended now... but i hope the bond tt we once shared...
will continue forever...
i never once did regret the choice of DHS n NPCC...
rmbr the times when we first sand our squad song?
只对你说
it became mrs kong ex-favourite song aft we sang it during pt LOLOLOL
the times tt we always cant reach the key of 'you would see'
it was all damn nice n funny at the same time...
rmbr our changing parades n the time we spent in our toilets...
talking n scolding XD all the times...
the fun, joy, laughter, jokes n sadness tt all of us had shared...
never forgotten...
i had always played the silent guy...
u all might now wat i had done... might not...
but all u nid to noe is tt i will always be thr if anyone needs any help...
for tt is wat i had been doing for the past 3 n a half years...
year1s:
jiayou... you all will always hve a place in my heart...
there is still a long long way to go...
don't follow in my footsteps... do even better than me...
dun giv up.. endure...
rmbr wat i n your other sqd Ns had taught you...
all of u can n will go far...
P.S. my only regret is not listening to u all sing ur sqd song...
12:28AM
the journey had ended
but my heart n skills had not...
i will continue the endurance...
wat NP had taught me...
whr others had failed i shall not...
when all odds r against me i shall not falter...
