Judgement Day Part 1

2009-07-10T07:04:00.001-07:00

Intro: THE INSTITUTION is at war with a powerful enemy. They have called upon Dillucian, the one person who they believe can salvage them from this dire situation. Will Dillucian be able to save THE INSTITUTION, or will THE INSTITUTION be destroyed by a new enemy?

DISCLAIMER: The following story is purely a piece of fiction. Anyone who reads this will understand that the author is not making any sense as the truth is that H1N1 is VERY DEADLY.

It was my first time walking through those gates. I was looking forward to my appointment with THE LEADER. The sight of those immense, spikey and reinforced gates made me open my mouth in wonder.

"Mouths Shut!!" A voice yelled. I spun around in shock. "Fire!" said the cold, cruel voice of an officer. I didnt know what to do.... I was sweating profusely......What had i done??? As a gun unlike any i had ever seen before was raised to my neck-level, i froze in fear. My life was going to end.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Something hit me across the face. I saw the officer looking for new ammunition to reload. I was confused, i was still alive. I shouted in happiness at my lucky escape....but the shout was muffled. Looking down, i realised that he had shot a mask at my face. It looked like one of those swat masks, just without the goggles. Puzzled, i asked the officer what was going on.

"Now look here, this is a Zero Contamination Zone. We are at war with a powerful enemy. As a safety precaution, you have to cover your mouth at all times. THE LEADER's office is that way," he said, pointing to the entrance of a maze. He must have been expecting me. Looking around, i saw various signs. "STOP H1N1", "Carriers of flu will be prosecuted" and "Maintain distancing of 3m. Failure to do so will result in a fine" where just some of the signs.

I wondered what this H1N1 was. It seemed like a powerful enemy, capable of infiltrating human bodies. From the gates, various CCTV cameras, armed officers and ambulances, I guessed that this Institution was the target of a powerful enemy, seeking to destroy Men who got too close to each other, seeking to destroy Fools who crossed the various chains around the Institution, seeking to destroy those who dared to linger one second too long after hours. As I marvelled at the security, it hit me that the maze was not just a maze- it was a Weeder, seeking to kill all those who coughed, or sneezed, or were just feeling hot.

Well, when i first decided to join RMUN, i had no idea what to expect. I was even regretting it towards the competition dates. But oh was this a memorable experience. A great platform to do sth new, to meet new ppl and to have fun. Dinner and dance was a unique experience indeed.....and there was tat cruel no.23......

Council sessions in General Assembly One did have many funny moments. If only we came up with crappy resolutions like ECOSOC. HAHA.

This has indeed been one heck of an experience, and im looking forward to the next council outing. XD.

Term 2

2009-06-14T00:11:00.000-07:00

Well, as can be seen from my long absence from blogging, term 2 was SUPER BUSY...... what with all the spamming of projects and tests and countless things to take care of, term 2 just zoomed by......

And thx to those who bought be that magic thingy for my birthday. XD

well, carn really remember much that happened in term 2 as it was all a blur.

.22 revolver competition: OMG, i dunno what happened. Firstly, those stupid guns kept jamming........ secondly, some fired even after jamming......... Well, and i thought i was a marksman. anyway, gd luck to the 2nd team, consisting mostly of sec 3s......... embarrassing........

Now that term 2 has ended, let us look forward to the end of this busy, frantic, blur of a year:2009

March Hols

2009-03-19T06:13:00.000-07:00

Phew, im exhausted. But not as exhausted as i would be during sch. lol. Term 1 had been CHAOTIC, the fastest term in my life. The agony of maths and mt and all the lessons seemed like eternity but the whole term was like a second. Furthermore, my grades are dropping. SIGH. maybe its just cause its the first few tests. like my tas-i flung them.

Anyway, i was invested into the CEC on 10th march as a monitor. CEC investiture was great, probably grander than prefects' investiture. there were cool lights and sounds and indoor fireworks. Kudos to mr law. I shall try my best to be a good monitor and bring my class closer together. GO 4A!

The march hols also passed by relatively quickly. I was sick for the most part of it, grrrrrrrrrr. I wanted to go NCO Camp, seeing how fun it was, but with all the headaches and all..... CEC training on monday was fun. my partner, Sang ju, and i trained some sec 1 CEC members. The seniors also had fun working together. XD. i had fun . And i owned in Polar Bear. haha. single handedly eliminated the villagers. HAHA. anyway, thx to sang ju. He's a really nice guy and im glad i met him. He really knows what he is doing.

I also performed my 2nd stage magic show for the PSGM Finale. it was much better than the sec 3 year end one, but there was a tiny mess. Lucky no one 'saw' anything although i flashed.

March hols is almost ending and still got loads of work. well, im not surprised.

gtg, STUDY

Exchange Students

2009-02-20T19:05:00.001-08:00

Hi all,

im rather bored today, which accounts for the 3 posts today. lol

Anyway, 4A has been lucky enough to have 2 groups of exchange students so far. First, we had 2 Australians, whom we hosted for 2 weeks. I wanted to be one of their buddies but Derek is................... Anyway, i'm still keeping in touch with them. Our 2nd group was Indonesians (5 of them). They just spent their last day with us yesterday. Hope they had fun in RI and Singapore.

Personally, i think that this programme is very beneficial to us as not only do we get to know about other cultures and education systems, we also get to make new friends. Hopefully we have many more of such programmes.

NPCC

2009-02-20T18:53:00.000-08:00

At last the Sec 1s have joined NPCC training. They are a rather fun bunch, though lacking discipline. But its propably cause they are new. Maybe my squad was like tat too 3 years ago. Anyway, hope they become good cadets. I believe the NCOs for the squad are rather good. So should be no problem.

SPF And SI nominations

the spf nominations have finally been sent. This is the most prestigious badge one can get in npcc. Hope i get it. XD. Although I wont get the SI rank, i think i should not worry too much about it. KSP should have his reasons. Oh well, just have to work harder. And do NPCC some good.

A photo taken damn long ago

Hopefully the change in maturity seen in the pictures are reflective of reality. XD

Year Head Assembly 08

2009-02-20T18:46:00.000-08:00

i know this is way overdue, but i just wan to thank Mr Law for the wonderfull assembly. I know he spent a lot of money and time on it. And it was my first stage magic show. haha. Lots of room for improvement, though i think the snow effect was rather nice with the fog and all. XD. The balloon event on the field was great. It was really a moment to remember, when 500 balloons covered the blue sky.

Overseas Immersion Programme 2008

2008-12-03T22:27:00.000-08:00

Hi, sorry for not posting for a long long time. I was very busy. Although hols started on 4th of november, we had OIP training for a few days before going for the OIP in Shenzhen, China. We spent most of the training preparing our dance item, a song from high school musical. At this point, i was wondering if my trip to china would be fun. I was worried that there would be problems communicating and that it would be very boring. However, i was soooooo wrong.

The 2 weeks in China, from the 10-24 of november were sooooooooo fun and enriching. I learnt quite a bit and enjoyed myself thoroughly. Although lessons were very boring as they were mostly in chinese, i at least got a chance to interact with the chinese classmates there. They were very nice and friendly and i would like to thank all of them.

I would like to thank Ellio for looking after me even though i wasnt his assigned buddy. :) I would like to thank lynda too for sacrificing her study time to host me. The nights when we went KTV and when we played truth and dare were really fun. I'll upload some pics soon.

Once again, thx to Lynda, Ellio, Amo, Joan, Ice, Jeffor, William, Johnny, Luki, Hedi and Yerry. Hope to see you'll in singapore soon. XD

PS, hope you liked my magic. hehe
Lynda, thx for the memory book
Ellio, thx for the magic tricks
Hedi, thx for the badge
Ice, thx for the banana soft toy, haha
Amo, thx for the CDs

The start of a new chapter

2008-09-12T21:17:00.000-07:00

today marks the beginning of a new chapter of this year. but first, i shall update you on the sep hols. (ya, i noe its a little late) i pretty much spent the whole hols doin nth, so yea, YAY. did all my hw on sat and sun. The worst part of the hols was the NPCC police knowledge and home front security courses. Listening for lectures from 9-4+ for 2 days. boring........... hope i pass the tests though. but some parts were rather interesting. like i just realised that u commit one offence and can be charged under so many laws. lol.

we had passing out parade for npcc on monday. hmm, not as nice as i hoped it would be. (we had very little practice) but oh well. That day marked the beginning of a new chapter, when the sec 3s finally and officially took over the unit. I hope we do well. and i hope i do my job as an accal and even do much more than my job scope requires me to. after the parade i did a little magic show for npcc. haha. quite a new experience. and i think i did manage to wow them with at least some effects. lol.

DETERMINATION
something i believe is essential, esp if i wan to achieve my goals. and tuesday's assembly program was inspiring. Jon Pritikin, a world record holder for feats of strength came down to RI all the way from the US to tell us not to give up. He folded a frying pan with his bare hands. OMG. and ripped a phone book in half. he also bent a metal pole with his teeth and broke a baseball bat on his leg. COOL. wads more, it was inspiring that he grew up as an 'outcast'. ppl nv believed in him. however, he nv gave up and is currently inspiring thousands of ppl worldwide. Good job JON!

Yesterday was somewhat the last day of sch with lessons. after sch i went to the mooncake fest celebrations organised by mr law. Thx mr law. it was an enjoyable session. with many diff flavours. the durian ones were gone within minutes. haha.

i went to kelvin's house for 2 days this week and played fifa on the PS. im telling u, im gonna practice till i finally beat u kelvin. haha. too bad i carn play as well in real life although i would like to.

And today starts a new chapter. the chapter of mugging. and how better to acknowledge this chapter than by dedicating abt 2 weeks to it. D' Mugging Period, aka DMP is the time to mug. i should have taken more external modules before this period. sigh, loads to study.

Oh well, i got to go shoot my ss video soon, so bb. And kelvin, tc and gerald, i'll be joining u'll in bowling after EOY. haha.

Bye

PS, kel, we'll find 'X' the next time we go skating.

2008-09-02T05:18:00.000-07:00

These hols will surely be rather busy, with EOY just ard the corner and in the process of moving house. Teacher's day celebrations were so-so. And went back to primary sch to see teachers. de La Salle sch sure brings back a lot of good memories, such as the times when i used to run ard the whole sch playing 'police-and-thief'. ahhh, the good old days. Then went home and slacked until.....today?
yup
haven done ANY hw. everything is sooooo not organized. cant get myself to start work. Tomorrow and Thursday got to go Home Team Academy until 5+ for NPCC courses. Sigh..... And now i need to plan a short magic performance for my dear Seniors.
Hope you guys have enjoyed ur NP life. You can be assured that the baton will be passed on to a more than capable batch.

Life is short. dont miss the donut by looking through the hole.

End Of Term 3

2008-08-28T06:08:00.000-07:00

At last, the end of the week.
End of term 3 is a very significant milestone. At long last, the exam period has ended, for now. Think i did ok for all except physics and eng. lol.

More importantly, this week our CCA postings have been released. After 3 years of hard work and intense nervousness, i have achieved my goal of becoming the accal. but i noe that being an accal does not mean much. i must contribute to the unit. i must use my authority properly to help the unit. Anyway, congrats to all the rest and to our dear ccal. I hope our squad remains driven. I would just like to ask u'll to be strict with the juniors at the right times. i think daniel from sec 4 is a very good example. NCOs, pls try to achieve a balance like him in terms of discipline.

And term 3 signifies much more too. Many bad incidents and good incidents. I have understood that we must not just strive for the best for ourselves, but also for our friends and those around us.

I would like to thank all those who have helped me get past term 3. and kel, thx for helping me with all those annoying maths stuff when i dun understand. I would also like to thank everyone hu has supported me to be the accal of NPCC. I promise to strive for the better of all.

In the end, it is not just the years in RI and NP in your life that count, its the life in those years.

Cheers,
puppeteer

Tired

2008-08-23T08:01:00.001-07:00

This week has been the most tiring week of Term 3. Slept at around 12 for the whole week. This was the first time i din really study hard for bio cause i was just too tired. Total time spent studying for this CCT from beginning of term 3 is 3 hrs? but not too bad, found it OK. But no full marks........... Got back Maths marks, IM SURE I MISSED MY TARGET BY HALF A MARK. must be some stupid careless mistake.

and now very occupied with CCA. Just had interviews on wk 8 AND wk 9. Round 2. Seems like they carn decide. Have tried my best. I just hope i get what i wan. lol.

Thursday went to watch Parody Night. It was rather enjoyable. plus, its FREE. HAHA. But din eat the food. cause it was free. free food=lousy? The plays were indeed hilarious. But i din really get the mcdonald's one. I think my play deserves to be in. Dunno how come they get in then we nv. Btw, the Elmo guy was damn pro. lol

Anyway, decided to give myself a break after the tiring week. So friday and today nv do any work. Just 5 hrs of com+ lots of tv+magic. haha. Im sure nigeria din win the gold. GRR. They were so upset they got silver. and singapore celebrated a lot after they got silver. lol

I seriously dunno wad to do. So bored. And dun feel like studying physics. Think i'll start on my book now. :)

Then slp

Catch up on lots of slp

Life has been tough. And i feel like giving up on blogging. Cause i seriously have no time for it. What with magic, studies and all. The past few weeks have been gruelsome. An onslaught of hw. And i still need to memorise my parody script. Grr. And theres chem CCT which i have hardly studied for. Nv mind. The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules! Rules bring you nowhere. But for now, time to go start chem revision. BB

NCO CAMP MARCH 2008

2008-06-27T01:49:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the long break, i was just too busy to blog. And this post is rather old too.lol

12-14 March 08 were three of the most enriching days of my life as a NPCC cadet thus far. On these days, a traditional camp of our school, the NCO Camp, changed many of our lives. The purpose of this three-days-two-nights camp was to impart in the Sec three squad skills for future leadership roles, such as being NCOs. The camp also served as a platform for our seniors and teachers to look out for potential leaders. This camp stretched us mentally and physically, at the same time strengthening the bonds within our squad and also with our seniors.
The first day of the camp was mainly for us to learn new skills and we had to show what we had learnt on the second day through various activities. We started the day with an extremely strict bag-check, which taught us the importance of urgency and helpfulness. Over the course of the day, we had lectures on uniform etiquette, method of instruction (MOI), parade procedures and responsibilities of being a NCO. We had to maintain a high level of discipline especially during the lectures.
That afternoon, we had a mini-race around the Bishan neighbourhood. This was fun and increased the bonds within the groups. Though halfway during the race it started to rain heavily, our spirits were not dampened and all of us reached our destination soaked to the skin. That night, we also had games which tested our endurance, intelligence, agility and speed. All these games showed us the importance of being all-rounded.
On the second day, we had a parade where each of us received a token to signify our successful completion of this camp. What was unique in this parade was the fact that Sec threes ran the whole thing. It was also the first time that I was a parade commander. After many practice runs, I was confident of doing my job well. After the successful parade, we were rewarded with some good food such as pizza and chips. I was satisfied and glad that I had not failed my squad.
That night, we had our first night hike, an arduous walk from Raffles Institution to West Coast Park. We started hiking at around two am and reached WCP at around six in the morning. Not having much sleep, our squad was extremely tired. However, we motivated each other and eventually reached WCP and had our breakfast before watching the beautiful sunrise. We then headed back to school for a debrief and dismissal.
A very important element of this camp was responsibility. We were each given a rifle at the start of the camp and were required to safeguard them for the entire camp, even while sleeping and bathing. Many of our rifles were ‘stolen’ by our seniors and after many rounds of punishment we truly learnt the importance of responsibility.
Only after this camp did I realize the hard work our seniors had to go through to prepare and execute our trainings. A round of applause for them! This camp instilled in my squad and me the determination to overcome any future challenges and make our unit proud of us. As our ex-HO said, we had transformed from maggots into houseflies. The values learnt in this camp- determination, endurance, trust and responsibility- would certainly help me in my life as a NPCC cadet.

An ordinary day in an ordinary world, again

Gruesome Facts 1

2008-04-20T00:11:00.000-07:00

I came across this interesting fact

Did you know that the average chocolate bar in the U.S. contains at least 8 pieces of an insect in it? Harvesting of the cacao beans occurs in the tropical countries of South America with low sanitation levels. Cacao tree beans are cut and piled in the farmer's field where they ferment for 6 days. During this process, children and adults walk over the piles; insects, rodents, small animals and other living things that make their nests in the piles. Actually the The U. S. Department of Health publishes a book entitled "The Food Defect Action Levels" in which they list unavoidable defects in food (insect, rodents etc.) all allowed by FDA.

NPCC Day Parade is probably the greatest commitment to NPCC so far. I have spent hours training for this parade, there are at least 10 trainings before the actual parade on the 12th of April and they are both physically and mentally challenging. so hot and sweaty some more. today was the preview, hope the actual parade goes well.

NCO Camp 2008

2008-04-05T06:55:00.001-07:00

I noe this is so lag, esp when it happened in the march hols, but i have no choice as this blog is new. Well, NPCC's NCO CAMP 2008 rox, in fact, its the best NP camp ive been to. i found that it was not even tough enough despite the sec 4's claims that this would be very tough.

first day we had station games, parade drills etc. and of course stand bys. stand bys was the only thing i did not like , esp when we had to keep taking stuff out of our bags and also changing into full u. oh ya, i hated bag check, after all my effort packing nicely :(

2nd day we had a parade, done by my very own batch, and it was the first time i was a parade commander. It was a totally new experience and rather cool too, having power over the whole parade. but quite a nervous experience too. it was during this parade where we got our cool 'i survived' badge, signifying our achievement of becoming capable future ncos ( I hope ).

that nite, we had our first nite hike. we hiked from 2am to ard 5+ all the way to east coast park from ri to see the sunrise. din sleep the whole day. they actually gave us 4 hours of slp but my grp was soooo bored and did not feel like slpn, so we helped a teacher mark his papers (*cough*) and i showed some magic tricks :). so that nite i was sooooo tired, i actually knocked into a lamp post, ouch.

but eventually we of course made it to the park and watched the beautiful sunrise after taking macdonalds over for breakfast. then went back to ri ard 8 am and dismissed. went home and slept immediately after bathing.

oh ya, during our camp we had to protect our rifles all the time, and a certain 'wise' guy lost his rifle 4 times, wth, and we had to do like so many push ups because of him. stupid lar.

and too bad somebody called kelvin din go for the camp. he missed a once in a life opportunity, would have enjoyed the camp more if he was there. haha.

hope that when we organise our first camp in the coming june hols, it will be much better than this and we will have lots more fun XD
