Arts Festival and NFC

2010-03-25T20:59:00.000+08:00

Dear All,

There've been so many events in store for us ever since the School started. Although they seem never-ending, but I'm sure all of us have gained a lot of valuable experience and bonded with one another too.

National Footdrill Competition

6 March 2010; At Raffles Institution
More Photos on NFC will be uploaded soon.
After so many trainings, we finally did ourselves justice by getting into Round 2! It's everyone's effort that made it possible. This is the first time we participated in NFC, with us classified under the South Zone. The South Zone has been rather dominating in the area of Footdrill for quite some time. Hence, it'll be even more challenging for us to get a Zonal Trophy. But still, we've all tried our best! Getting into Top 12 Finalists is indeed commendable enough.

Below are the Judges' Comments on our Unit (sent via email from HQ).

Do take note of their comments so as to make improvements for future NFC(s)!

Arts Festival

20th March 2010; At Red Cross Campsite

After NFC comes Arts Festival. Having burnt out the March Holidays to prepare for the Auditions, the results are out.

Congratulations to our Drama Category Team (DramaMaMaz) for getting into the Finals!!!
Members consists of: Wan Rou (Director), Mavis (Co-Director), Jerwie, Serene, Chonghui, Umar and Jiani.

I'm sure this competition have brought us all together, into doing something other than the usual Footdrill, Evacuation, Outdoor Activities or First Aid.

Personally, participating in the Dance Category is a different experience; since my batch have been joining the Video Category (and emerged Champion for 2 consecutive years!). Sadly, there's no Video Category this year. Well, all's still worthwhile. I've never thought of us dancing together and wearing such costumes!

It's a once in a lifetime thing to see your NCOs going all out alright! (HAHA). Even though we didn't get in, we know that we've done our best :)

NOW, let's all wish our Drama Category Team the best of luck!
(get a Champion or runner-up? Not trying to stress you guys though; but it'll really help in 2010's EUA!)

(And yes, Inter-UG Footdrill Competition's tomorrow too; GIVE YOUR BEST!)

Best Regards,
WO Mendi Ang

It was indeed a fun and fulfilling evening worth remembering. I hope all of you had a great time! Also, with the Lunar New Year, I wish that the year ahead will be smooth-sailing for the entire Unit, be it in terms of competitions, activities or individual aspects.

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR and
VALENTINE'S DAY (BELATED, but never too late)!

With Footdrill Competition coming, I know most of you may be exhausted by the trainings, but the competition is coming soon, on 6 March, or rather next Saturday so as to speak. Meanwhile, don't forget about your academic studies (HOMEWORK & TESTS!). However, also remember to take good care of yourself, have ample sleep as required.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE A MARK IN THE FIRST COMPETITION OF THE YEAR 2010! Remember, quality is much more important than quantity. We may be a small Unit, but we shall stand strong! :)

Cheers,

Dear Juniors,

Congrats for finally promoting! This shall be the last time I'm writing here. haha.
Anyway, Wish you all th best and good luck in your journey! It marks an end for us but for you, it's another beginning, another cycle, another chance.
Treasure it! Do what you didnt do last time and leave no regrets.
It's a good time to look back at what you'hv achieved. In terms of character developement and how you'hv matured and changed.

For now, it's important to help each other, be there for one another.
Maybe it's th true meaning of serving one another? I'll leave that for you to uncover.

I won't type personal stuff here, you can visit my link for that.

Wishing you, all the best ahead. =)

Bye!
Senior, Chongxi.

2009-04-28T19:30:00.000+08:00

Dear Cadets,

CCA has already stepped down by now.
You should be concentrating on your studies le.
Your NCOs and I wish you all the best alrights.
Remember to do well for your exams,
and show everyone that you can excel not only in your CCA but your studies as well!

Oh, and one more thing.
Just to get you prepared, your Passing Out Parade is soon after MYE.
(9 June if there's no other changes)
The camp would be from 8-9 June 2009,
so make sure you dont 'malu malu' go overseas on that day.

For sec1s, POP is not 'pop' sound, it's a parade when sec4s(us) pass out and your sec3s take over. For the rest, you would be promoted.
You won't be recieving ur rank if you do not attend the parade.
So make sure you're in tip top condition for the parade as well.
(yes, meaning your uniforms, drills etc.)

Do inform your sec3s and any of us if you can't make it, kay.
But first, just do your best in Mid-years.

Just a little motivation for you:

Destiny is not a matter of chance,
it is a matter of choice.
It is not a thing to be waited for,
it is a thing to achieved.

So if you really want to see ur good grades,
put in hard work. If you have not been studying,
well.. It's better late than never.
Nothing is final till the end!

Jiayou and good luck.

Signing off,
Chongxi.

2009-03-28T15:51:00.000+08:00

Of course, have fun while your're at it too. That's important.

Oh, and for those who recieved your badges yesterday,

make sure you know how to pin them properly.

You're excited right? Suddenly ur badges come like a bomb~

Tip; pin them on while you're wearing, cos it's always different when you put ur uniform on.

Till next time, bye~

Friday's training, 20th Feb 2009.

Ah, wells. The pictures as promised. (right. i know some rly unglam, but i alr took out those ultimate unglam ones kay..)

Mendi!

Kewei shouting cheers~

The salvages chasing NCOs around for our sacred signitures. Poor vivien! haha.
BEHOLD. The Salvages~ (look at Kewei's face, aha.)

Sexy pole dance.... >.<>

SERVE ONE ANOTHER! YAMM SENG!
Sec1s and qianru.
Mouth must open big big like this~ (no offense yilin)

Side view... Nicole looks nervous..

Hoho, anyhow waste water....

In squad must look up, look smart! (and no, not becos ur aware of the camera aiming at you)Another shot.

Woots.. what you both doing ah? 0.o! knock it down still smile uh.. =)

This is my favourite photo. =)

So we finally celebrated our EUA gold last friday. Sorry for the delay in th photos though..

Hope that we can continue striving hard? and sec2s, pls work hard to pass ur accreds! (especially the new ones) Must pass at one go ya? It's not solely for EUA, dont think of it that way. It's for ur uniform too. Of cos, you want a full house uniform right? =)

and..sorry to th 'winners' who lost. Hope th water didnt make you sick. haha. Take care of urself.. We all have less than 2 months before CCA stands down. So do treasure th time left.

Especially sec3s, in time to come you'll become NCOs. Time really flies so fast. I still remember ur first ice breaker. (i called mendi wendy if im not wrong?) You all really changed alot since then but always remember there's room to do better everytime. Brace urselves! it's gonna be tough but im sure u can do it de.

For sec2s, pls try to speak up more! You all are still stuck inside ur cosy shells. (at least tat's wat we feel at times) If you really want to be outstanding, you must be more daring. Nothing is impossible. You can still change, improve, but ultimately it's up to you. Don't give ur sec3s a hard time, kay? Jiayou.. =)

and sec1s, ur still new to the unit. Just do ur best and don't give seniors a hard time ba. Hope by the time you recieve ur lance coporal rank, you'll be more into th unit and get used to the things we do. There's a long way to go....so u must hold on tight.

Alrights. Rest well and prepare for tomorrow. Till then, and enjoy the photos.

FDC 2009 squad.
I forgot to mention on th last post..
thanks for all th hardwork put in for FDC.
especially you cadets, when you met up early in school to train on ur own accord.
it's rly nice seeing you all do that. (but pls, wat if ppl faint? own accord aso must let us noe!)

next year must try harder wor.
must get second or champion alrights!
always room for improvement de.
and i trust that you all can do it!
start training now le...(dont give 'HUH' look)
although FDC is over but do maintain ur drills okay. =)

Jiayou jiayou for Arts Fest!

-photo stolen from miss chan, haha.

2009-02-14T21:00:00.000+08:00

Dear cadets,

we got 3rd in North District! hooray!

okay im sure u all aren't disappointed. at least, ur effort put in were regonised,
and u all were duly rewarded right? =)
cheers for not leaving fairfield with regrets.

finally, FDC has come to an end.
for those people who flunked ur tests due to trainings,
it's high time you should get back on track now.
i know it has been tiring for you all to train long hours since december holidays,
but now is a time to relax abit before ur next event- arts fest.

so, in order to celebrate footdrill com and also our EUA GOLD,
we shall let friday be a celebration party.
and yes, if ur lag, we attained EUA GOLD!
we havent been getting gold for six years le and now finally we have it.
do continue to work hard, and pls pass ur accreds at one go!

we used to take badges seriously. i dont know if u all still feel th same way (sec2s i meant)
maybe becos we were pushing u towards th wrong direction.
badges arent only for EUA,
but it's for ur uniform too. of course you all would want full-house uniform when u all go for HQ events. (just see today for example)

it's self-achievement. it's uniform pride. it's unit pride.
do you noe we always judge a person by th number of badges pinned on their uniforms?
(bet u didnt know that!)
ah, so now you all should know..
make things simple for urself and also ur future ncos. =)

jiayou in all th other things in th future!
make us proud, more importantly make urselves proud.

rest well for today.
its been tiring and you all are SHAGGED. (hear this yiling)
cya soon. =) dont fall sick ah.

-chongxi.

2009-02-10T21:36:00.001+08:00

Hi cadets..

ah, so it's 3 days to FDC already.
i know everyone has been working hard,
so we gotta put in our best and not let any effort go to waste alright?
i have confidence that you all will do your best!

it doesnt matter if we win or lose. as long as we do what we think is right.
pls remember, there's only one FDC 2009.
one chance given to you, better make it right.
i certainly don't hope to see tears of regret.

frankly, we'hv been rather troubled because you all dont seem to be nervous for th past few weeks.
really, we dont want to see the same thing happening again.
(sec3s, you all should know)
but after finding out from a few of you,
we discovered that you all are hiding ur nervousness.
good or bad thing?

haha. actually, im comforted because it shows you all cared.
dont worry too much though, you will remember what to do.
just practise more even at home to perfect ur drills kay?
it's not rly up th th mark yet.

but if you all are willing, it's not impossible.
what a person achieves, isnt only because of how bright th person is,
rather it's how much th person wants to get it.
same goes for each and every one of you.

for those who stayed back today,
do remember what was said and th tips to improve.
im rly glad that you all at least have the responsibility to msg me when ur not coming for training.
and i can see ur commitment too.
keep it up people. =)

i know this is a tough period for you all.
but ur not alone, ur seniors/juniors and even us madms have many tests.
but one thing is for sure,
whatever hardships, we must endure together and face them as a unit.
let no one be left behind.

SERVE ONE ANOTHER! yammmmm seng!
(come to think of it, it's been long since we rly shouted loud for water parade)

alrights. last thing, do take care of yourselves..
drink up and rest well at home too.
many of u are severely sun-burned. >.<
take care ya?

and remember to give ur best shot for th last two trainings!
remember, seize every opportunity.
do ur very best.
only then will you not regret.
most importantly, dont let urselves down!

support you all! =) Jiayou~

-chongxi.

2009-01-25T15:24:00.000+08:00

Anyway for your info,
Venue of FDC will be at FAIRFIELD METHODIST SEC SCH,

-Absence of common mistakes
-Correct dressing
-Completion of commands

We must get in to the FINALS ! This year is totally different from the past few years.This year TOP 12 squads instead of TOP 8 enter the final round. This mean that we have a higher chance to get in. Don't ever miss this chance. We must put in our very best !! "Nothing is impossible"

Before i go,just want to say:
No matter win or lose,we should not be disppointed if we know that we had tried and put in our very best.

Juliana(:

2009-01-12T19:56:00.000+08:00

Cadets,

here are the FDC Trainings;

13 January (Tues): 1445-1730 hrs
16 January (Fri):1430-1830 hrs
29 January (Thurs): 1445-1730 hrs
30 January (Fri): 1430-1830 hrs
31 January (Sat): 1000-1730 hrs

2 February (Mon): 1445-1730 hrs
5 February (Thurs): 1445-1730 hrs
9 February (Mon): 1445-1730 hrs
11 February (Wed): 1445-1730 hrs
13 February (Fri): 1430-1830 hrs

Please take note of all the timings, especially the dates. There's one on saturday as well.
If you all didn't notice, we have only TEN footdrill com trainings left. TEN!

You all said you wanted to win something. I'm happy that you have aspirations.
But to win or not is supposed to be unit effort, if we do not work hard together then there isn't any point. So remember, we shall work hard as a unit towards our goals.

Put in all we have now. It's better to work hard now than to regret later. I know trainings are tough for you all. But it's ur choice to treasure all th remaining time. Dont waste ur effort, time and energy. =)

I expect to see full attendance unless for valid reasons. If you do not make an effort to improve ur drills, or if ur attendance is low, we might still be considering you under reserve. Do work hard for what you want.

Lastly, drinks lots of water and take care! The worst thing you can do is to fall sick. I hope by now you are more used to ur time tables and school time. Take extra good care, and eat before you come for trainings. =)

I look forward to seeing everyone improve! (and yes, me included, haha)
Nothing is imossible to th willing mind!

Jiayou~

Hey people,

finally, the open house is over...

sec3s, you should feel more relaxed by now. We know preparing for th open house was tough for you. Hope that you didnt tire urselves too much in th process, with UIP, RCYC and other proposals. You deserve a pat on th back for all your hard work. =)
rmbr, hard work does pay off. We had quite a number of people interested yesterday. So yup, keep up the good work!

But...

Pls rmbr, you still have a long way to go. This isnt an ending but more rather, it's another new beginning. Attracting sec1s is only th start. Your next job is to ensure they learn and groom them to understand and learn how it's like to be in AMKSS Red Cross Youth.

You may be high achievers but there is always more to learn. Dont ever forget how you started off and teach ur sec1s like how u wanted to be groomed. I have faith that you guys can achieve ur targets. And im sure you wont be letting us, seniors and th unit down!

Cadets,

This is the schedule for open house rehearsals;

22 Dec: 1430-1730 hrs
23 Dec: 1430-1730 hrs
7 Jan: 1500-1730 hrs
8 Jan: 1500-1730 hrs
9 Jan: 1530-1730 hrs (tentative)

Please inform your sec3s/sec4s if you cannot come for any of the rehearsals. However, we do hope that you can make effort to come for every rehearsal, lest you don't know what to do on the actualy day. After all, it's everyone's effort if the performance were to run smoothly.

Do take care, I know the schedule is very packed especially for some of you.
Drink lots of water and do not get sick!
Jiayou. =)

regards,
chongxi.

Sec3s,

welcome back from ur UIP!
heard that you all did a good job. =)
congrats to mendi, yilin and pearlyn for getting top 2 in Footdrill, OA and Evac respectively!
I'm so proud of you people!

but for the rest, please do not be disappointed at yourselves,
you're very close to clinching second or third.
Like i told vivian, lanyard is only regconition,
but i trust that AMKSS cadets are still the best.

Don't let it tie you down.
You still have a long way to go, chances aplenty.
You'll get your chance to show your potential.
And for the lanyard, there's still RCYC next year, right?

Jiayou! and continue to strive hard! Get a good, well deserved rest too.

Cadets,

tomorrow would be your mass re-accreds, hope that by now you all should be informed.
so, to make things easier, the program for tomorrow:

0800-0845hrs: RCK Bronze theory
(*evac people who arent involved in RCK, report by 0840hrs)

0845-0930hrs: Radio communication

0930-1030hrs: Footdrill re-accred
(only for those who failed/have not taken)

1030-1130hrs: Re-accred for evac theory
(those who have failed overall, we let you sit for theory again)

1130-1215hrs: Re-accred for people who failed radio communication/practical

1215-1315hrs: OA sliver Outdoor cooking

Things to bring:
-writing materials
-1.5 litres coke bottle
-full uniform (for those who are taking footdrill bronze)
*make sure it is in tip top condition*
-untensils & mass tins (for outdoor cooking people only)
-All necessary notes for revision

For OA sliver outdoor cooking, the people who needs to be retested are Umar, Hazwani, Sheryl and Chunhui

For footdrill Bronze, those who need to retake are Vivian, Hwee Tong and Yihui.

Please note that you all only need to come for the slots that you are taking accred. This means that if you already pass footdrill for example, you do not need to be present.

However, if you are waiting for the next session, please be considerate and do not interfere with accreds that your fellow squadmates are taking. I do not want to see anyone suddenly cutting in.
Report 5mins before your allocated accred time is due.
(yes, i mean report as a group, not individual)

Lastly, i hope you all studied hard! Please dont torture yourselves and keep coming for re-accreds.. I know you want that additional badge on your uniform. Results are obtained only after hard work. =) i hope you all did. Jiayou!

best regards and good luck for tomorrow.

we'll be updating this blog often to keep you informed of training schedules,
activities and so on, so i hope we'll keep this place alive?

but in the meantime, pls send all photos related to RCY to
