Posting results were released 2 days ago.
Today is ORD, and
ORD is over.
Though the results may be shocking to some, disappointing to others and happy for some, our posts dont really matter. How we contribute is a different story. Training teams contribute in their own ways by training the juniors, the secretariat department contributes by settling admin work, the non-training team contributes by being the main body that will execute other plans not closely related to training.
Everyone had fun from my point of view. Part A's item was rather different, though the basic idea of reproducing scenes of NCC life remained the same. They produced various scenes, covered some fresh ideas and entertained the company quite successfully.
Our part's item was simply a question and answer game testing the knowledge, and wit of our beloved seniors. (As seen from the disappointing answers, they are not that fast after all ^^) Though u cant really blame them for failing to answer questions like, "How many bangings are there in hentak kaki?" When i formulated this question, i took like 1 and a half min to confirm that the answer was 58, considering that u start the cheer on the left bang. (they had 5 seconds to answer)
Finally the part of the water bombs. Our idea of surprise attacking the seniors came as a failure. Maybe all the seniors already knew what we were up to, but simply kept mum about it. But nevertheless, the bombing took a great start and everyone was enjoying the rising heat of the fight until we ran out of bombs. Thereafter, the commencement of 'flushing'(pouring water) and wargames.
Quite glad we had much fun out of the wargames. Most of us were involved in the brawl, especially those large-scale ones where everyone was fighting to save his own brother. The high feeling was there, the free and wild feeling that was present in the air amidst the water wargames. We sabotaged each other (grip and flush), watched the seniors tio gangrape (poor by, pp and andre) and some of us seized the opportunity to settle 'personal feuds' during the heat of the battle.
Part B's item was a cool PPT played in accordance with Hossan Leong's "I Live in Singapura" song...creative and zai. However, the reenactment of the PDS training was quite bad. Though there were a few amusing scenes, the sounds were badly muffled by the water fountain. Seems like everyone loves stoning at the final position of keluar baris for PDS. (align ur arms somemore)
Part A didnt prepare their gifts. Quite disappointing, but Part Bs surprised us initially when we saw their gifts by going out of the way to make rifles for the seniors. Our gifts, similarly, were chosen through deliberation and effort. Too bad we didnt manage to get kw that colourblind shirt...out of stock at orchard (damn sad) Just hope he has fun with his hand and *KW WE NOE UR READING THIS, WHEN U MANAGE TO SOLVE UR RUBRIC CUBE TELL US HOW LONG U TOOK* Though we know that you are colourblind, we hope that we have added more colours to your life.
Even though some of us might be in the training team, we are not confined to our duties alone. A good leader is one who goes beyond his call of duty and does stuff that is not required of him but important or might help lighten the load of others.
Even though some of us might not be in the training team, neither are we restricted to carrying out our non-training duties and removing ourselves totally from training matters. We still can share opinions on how we want to lead the company, what we want to do during our period of NCOship.
Conflicts may arise, varying opinions may spark arguments, but this is all trivial. We have faith in our bonds, regardless of how we are prejudiced against each other, we remain a part. The only difference is that now we are a part of leaders, of NCOs. We are not a part of cadets anymore. We decide how we lead the company, we decide our journey towards BUC, towards honour and glory.
