Author's note: Don't worry, this entry will only be covering 1/3 of my N.S experience and the rest will be to regards of my outings with my friends. I will also be teaching you how to Chao Geng! (report sick always even though you are not sick.) Pss... Don't tell anyone that I taught you.
The longest entry (inclusive of pictures) since a long, long time ago.
I don't understand why I have become so lazy to update my blog or have I lost interest in blogging?*Pause for a moment to think*
Nah! How can I lose interest in the blogging world. If I ever do, I must be out of my mine.
Abruptly, after the short pause, I remembered that I have not yet post up the photos taken during the trip to Petapis.
Forgetful me!
I was asked to help but feared that I do not have the time and the book-out timing might clash with the Petapis thing. But my fear soon dissolved away when everything was cleared up.
I book out an hour earlier, leaving me another 4 hours to myself before the Petapis help out. I bought my friend a pair of New Balance shoe from camp and I don't even have to pay a single cent. All I have to do is just by tapping my 11B and they will use the credits there.
Then I proceeded to the mosque which was located near Labrador Park.
From there, we then proceeded to Petapis.
Without wasting any more time, we proceeded to the games the organisers had organised for the kids at Petapis.
Above pictures: There are my friends' younger brothers who were testing out the games.
These were the foods for the kids at Petapis.
The presents for the winning teams.
They were then gathered at the parade square for the starting of the first game.
The first game was for the kids to fill in an empty bottle of 1.5 litresss with water by the means of using a straw, sponge or cups with holes. They will have to race 50m to where the bottle is located and dump their water into the bottle. Whichever teams manage to fill the bottle till to the brim wins.
And then it was time for the judges to decide on one winner.
It was a close race and the judges had a tough time deciding. But soon, the winner was unveiled.
They sent out one representitive from the winning team to receive the prize from one of the judges.
Then we proceeded with the next game which was to pass a ping pong ball to the other person by using a spoon.
The kids even had time to pose for the camera.
And soon the game was over and the winner was unveiled.
The last game; They have to form a straight line, sit down and pass rubber bands to the other player using a straw that will be held onto by their lips.
And yet again, the game ended.
The games ended and the judges and us shook hands with them.
Then it was dinner. We distributed the food to the children and sat at the parade square with mats laid on the floor.
How can I not include a picture of myself? That will be the most sinnest thing I have ever done.
Shh! I know what you are thinking.
Evil Twin: Why you look so dark. And my! Where is your sense of fashion!
Hey, come on! When I wore that, it was only my 2nd book out and indeed I was having fashion disaster but not anymore.
You'll see in my upcoming entries.
I know this sucks but now I shall talk about my army life!
Evil Twin: Yawns!
I wrote a poem during my free time in camp.
The days in camp seems slow and rigid,
I become very frustrated and start to fidget. ( I just wanted the last word to rythme with the last word in the first sentence.)
But as the book out day is approaching,
I wrote this poem and start reciting.
Hoping that nothing would bring me down,
And I shall not listen to the devil's crying,
I will always pray that I will keep on going.
Then I also wrote a poem for my beloved significant other but tore the paper and gave to my significant other. I can't remember how the poem goes.
I am glad that I have improved physically. Can you believe it that I am actually a zero-fighter. I can't even do a single chin-up. Yes! Laugh at me all you want. I have to admit I WAS weak.
But now not anymore. With all those rigorous trainings, I manage to do at least 2 chin-up. I know it's not that impressive but hey, that's an improvement. A vast improvement at least to me.
It frustrates me everytime my chin can't go pass the bar. It frustrates me even more when others can do at least 4 - 5.
I shall not give up that easily. Mark my words.
Whispers to myself, "Curse those who can do <6>
Those who did not meet the requirements has to do remedial trainings at the gym. I curse myself for not having stronger arms.
Each time to the gym is a nightmare to me, especially when you have a strict Fitness Specialist.
"Muscle endurance!"
Muscle Endurance is the measure of how well muscles can repeatedly generate force, and the amount of time they can maintain activity. Muscular Endurance is the practical use of raw strength.
It is crucial for every fitness activity, from the mostly anaerobic weight lifting repetitions (or "reps") to intense aerobic activities like jogging (where specific muscles in the legs are used repeatedly.) Muscular endurance combines both aerobic and anaerobic energy.
Bloody hell lah! It was really tough! You thought it was easy?
Evil Twin: You're complaining too much!
I am not! You should have let me complete what I have to write first before judging!
Yes, at the beginning, it is tough. But as soon as you get the hang of it, it will be nothing to you. Because of these trainings, I am able to do 2 chin-ups!
Bleah!
Seriously, what keeps me going are my closest friends, family and my significant other. Each time, when I think of being on the verge of giving up, I will think of them. Without them, I would not be complete. They are my strengths.
For the past one week, I've been noticing quite a number of people reporting sick even though I know a few were perfectly healthy and fit to do the exercises.
These people are labelled, "Chao Geng". and if they report sick too often, they are addressed as the "Chao Geng King".
Here are a few steps of how to chao geng. Make sure you put on a good act; be weak and look weak.
Try not to drink water for more than 2 hours so that your lips would be dry and you would look dehydrated.
If you are reporting sick and would like to give flu or cough as the reasons, pretend to cough real hard or stuffed a tissue into your nose and pretend that mucus is dripping out.
Move as slow as possible to indicate that you are really lethargic and are unable to perform any trainings or exercises. And talk in a weak and soft voice.
Evil Twin: Aiyah! All these tricks, we already know! Don't need to emphasise on them. We are pros at reporting sick.
Shut up and let me continue!
If you are at home and would want to get an Attend C (which means you will get an M.C and would not have to book in for the next 1 day), these are the few steps to follow.
High temperature; This is THE most important step in faking sick. With this ability almost any normal (or abnormal) mother can be convinced that you have a cold. If your mother feels your forehead you can: Just rub your hand quickly back and forth across you forehead, the friction will heat your forehead up, and fool your mom.
Get a hot washcloth and hold it to your forehead, don't make it too hot or your mother will think you are on fire. If your mother uses a thermometer: Rub the thermometer between your hands causing friction again and giving a false reading.
Hold the thermometer near a lightbulb (75 watt) for a shot time. Put the thermometer under your electric blanket or heating pad. Lastly, if your mom watches you while she is taking your temperature; drink a glass of very hot water beforehand and it will raise your mouth temperature.
You have successfully convinced your mum and ready to go to the doctor to get an M.C. To fake your temperature when you are with the doctor, that's another thing. I am clueless.
If you are doing jogging and running exercises, you can pretend to sprain your ankle or pretend that you have strained your thighs' muscles and are unable to cotinue with the exercises. Immediately, after you see the Medical Officer, he will give you a status of excuse lower limb, which means you are excuse from running, jogging and other leg activities for the next two days.
Same applies to the upper limb, pretend to strain your arms' muscles and report to the medical officer. He will then give you a status of excuse upper limb.
Aren't I smart?
After teaching you the few steps of how to chao geng, I have to admit that I have not pretend to report sick since day 1 in camp. And even if I do, I won't pretend.
I think, by now, most of you would probably be dozing off.
Fuck me! Enough about N.S stuffs!
Let me end this entry with ...
