Hougang Sec 2/3 LTC 16th - 18th june




WAHAHAHAHAH!!! its been so long since i'm a group instructor le!! hopefully, i hadn't went out of touch for being a facilitator (kent, dun blame me if i disappoint u k!). its been more than a year tt i had last being a GI, luckily i had treviz wif me, as my co-partner to run this grp of 9. as i age, i cant really ra-ra anymore, dun really remember myself teaching them cheers, but became an old man nagging them down wif life stories. fortunately i had a great bunch, zhehao, jodi, wenda, jia ying, winsome, jerry, darren, ash & little MIA. leadership is more than juz words tt thru read ing & explanation, could be appreciated & practised. really hope tt they learned something fr me & treviz.




as for myself, it was a great breakaway from odac. i believe tt everyone needs a rest, i had mine & thru this time, i further consolidate my tots of how things shd be & how to improve them. at endau, denis said 'yr greatest weakness is when u overuse yr own strength, tt everything ard u depends on u'. probably my learning curve had juz turned a new chapter.

senior's camp (overseas) 14th-15th june

local camp went as a breeze where everything ran smoothly wif little hic-ups, however, overseas camp went tipsy-topsy wif no good reasons... much to our unexpectant, e bus pangseh-ed us in fetching us to custom, & worst, e promsied no. of 8 4WDs at bekok dropped to pathetically 4. nonetheless, all e seniors had fun, afterall, its not really bout e activities, but e companionship for one another. thru e seniors camp, many year 1s start to realise e importance of FOOT & y its e hardest of all events to organise. e multi components of activities sets FOOT comm at test, e learning curve of FOOT subcomm further tires the 2 SPOs, lastly, collaboration wif CGLs & GLs for FOOT comm & cooperations of seniors was e final exam for teamwork at e club level. though e tides r rough at e moment & time is running short, i do believe that wif e strength of e 12th main comm, we can bring e club thru till we reach e shore.





haha! finally, my dear denis is at real work liao! cork-cork as he may be seen, but when comes to work, his meticulous thinking process is a precious weapon for e comm to fight this war. FOOT comm is fighting hard, & they wun be alone.

results day! 5th june

wahahaha!! this is my best sem ever, scoring a A+, A, A-, B+, B+, B+ & C!!! so proud of myself la! though cos of e C grade, my GPA is only 3.9, but i very happy liao! got all e expected-best-case-scenario! wootz! if next sem do juz e same, 2nd lower honors got hope liao!!

nite cycling recce 2 16th may




after e exams, its e 1st time tt we bring all e GLs on e nite cycling route tt we will be embarking on for FOOT 08. everything went fine... but out of nowhere, problems arise... 'shd we go for so many recces? its expensive leh..' hmm... tt could be juz another passing statement but i'll choose to take it seriously...

i do understand tt e recce is not cheap, where e bike n helmet already cost $11. however, i juz felt tt e money spend was for a greater cause. isn't it better for all of us to be more familiar wif e route? wif better knowledge, we excute wif more confidence. ain't it better when we r better cyclist den e freshies tt we r of aid to them? anw... i really felt tt e no. of recces was juz nice.. tts juz my personal opinion, money is a subjective topic... lets not dwell into it..


EID

been really bz rite after e exams due to EID... Enigneering Innovative Design Module... stupid mod tt haf to come out wif a product plus business plan, ALL IN 5 WEEKS TIME! grrr!! lucky my team of 12 strong strong! haha! though keep going to lecs & lab is quite draining... but every nite our spirit high high in e wait for dota!! hehez, only allan (leader) dun play dota! bet he muz be wondering y every nite cant get any1 on msn, dunno where every1 siam to!

desaru cycling 9th - 11th may

think its my 4th time cycling to desaru, n yes, i'm making it e testimonial trip tt i'm gonna lead in my odac career. n of cos, hard as i tried, to make it my best & most memorable trip. sadly, things din turn out e way as planned... being chased by e hotel management for BBQ-ing & even haf to move my participants to other resorts in e middle of e nite. probably its godwill to tell me tt i had not learn enuff yet though i'm due for graduation.




nonetheless, our spirits remain high, as i lead my crew through e '11 slopes of terror'. taking wif me e ex-pres of e club, some biz mags & pubbies plus my 2 main commers, we breezed through e journey wif every moment at cloud 9! really hope tt i gave them a very 'odac' experience!




for my dear partner, meishan, hope tt i had pointed out areas where u flaw in & could further develop on. to improve, we need not work on areas tt we r gd at, but areas tt we noe nothing of. u r definitely an unpolished gem, but sadly i'm not a skilled craftman. would really like to c yr growth.

endau rompin FOOT 08 recce 3rd - 4th may



12th main comm

unlike e past yr, where perlepah which i went like 7 times was used for e treking site for FOOT, this time round, due to many many reasons, we're going endau rompin for a change! really glad tt we had this odac trip rite after e exams, time when everyone ended their papers & were all out juz to haf fun! this time round, not only foot comm is present, main comm, trek comm, lao jiaos & e GLs r all down for e recce. to many, it simply seems tt odac is a bonded fun grp of crazy peeps, but who really noe all e hard work behind tt all of us had put in b4 we had such fun & laughter. all e planning tt we made to build up each comm stage by stage, making all sorts of efforts to pull everyone together to build this family where we feel belong, imparting skills & experience. hopefully e 13th comm to come c e effort tt we had put in, & not juz take things for granted tt odac is always fun & bonded. easy as it seems, peeps juz crowd tog to take pics of gd memories, but who really rem all e hard times tt e 12th main comm had during transititon comm, all e sacrifices tt each of us made in our semester time to cover for one another, all e various session of resolving conflicts among ourselves. rome wasn't built over nite, 12th comm too, was built over uncountable days & nites. unfortunately, hard as we tried, we cant get everyone in e club to experience & fully understand all these efforts tt we had made.
dinner wif trek comm b4 e trip! huat ar!
listen to e boss ar!
endau rompin, somehow not e most ideal place for FOOT, but yet it has a unique taste of its own... e train ride & long long travel on e 4WD, brought us to a well-established nature reserves, wif built-up toilet in e middle of forest tt comes wif up-class flushing system. haha! here comes e most headache part. which waterfall to be used for e actual FOOT? e long boring trek to e magnificient fall of Tinggi or e short walk to small but exciting pools at Pandan? i dunno... aku no preference at personal level. since its foot comm's event, shdn't them be e deciding core? yet at e back of my mind, i noe its e duty of e main comm to guide e comm to make e rite decision. since its a orientation camp for e freshmen, of cos e rite decision shd be made upon e perspective of e freshmen, haha, but i nv had e freshmen mentality, really cant imagine how they will think sia!
12th FOOT comm
11th FOOT comm
11th CGL
thru e recce, more & more probs were uncovered, & many more r uncovering! wahahaa!! finally foot comm is put to test! seeing them starting to probe qn & taking ownership of their event, reminds me of myself. somehow i'm envious of them, back in e 11th comm, all we had was tonnes of responsibilities, unlike them, really enjoying e companionship & commarade of one another. probs for e event now seems so insignificant.
e damn orange trek comm

jerangkang recce 30th april - 1st may




hehez went on recce trip to jerangkang wif mike, weiling, yihui, jovin & jie yang! my 1st visit to e waterfall which is rite beside berkela falls at kuantan area... somehow, din really enjoy e trek up but e company definitely blown me to cloud nine! probably i went to too many waterfall treks in a short period of time, e overwhelming feeling tt outdoor once gave me somehow went missing... anw, thru e trip, i learn e importance of wei ling in e 12th main comm. though she's always a lost child, but juz but suan-ing her together, e main comm juz gets closer! gd job gal!

as i promised, its time to show off my photography skills!
roc & roll ride on e 4WD
stooopid jovin wanna eat worm!
