| Important Message to the Class. |
HO-HO-HO!
Final reminder for the attendance of the Christmas party. Though it was supposed to be the deadline last night, apparently not many people took that into account and emailed Yanmin on their availability. Let's be happy citizens and inform either me (Xinwei) or Yanmin ASAP by the 26th latest. Do kindly send us a msg or something even if you can't come, so we'll be able to wish the class there merry christmas on your behalf and have an easier life finalising the attendance without having to call half of the class personally.
Here's a big THANK YOU to those who replied by yesterday. However, you've still got the other half of the favour to complete for us. We'll like to know what dishes you'll be able to contribute to the merry little humble party of 06S6C. It need not be some gigantic, magnificent dish. It can something as simple as home-made potato salad or even something (that probably our dear elicia has to resort to. *laughs*) ordered from a supermarket or booth. But if you're ordering, you might have to do it soon. These orders are really useful, they even provide complicated dishes like sausages of all kinds, meat of all kinds etc. The only drawback is the deadline, that should end pretty soon for the orders since December is almost over. So, act fast!
We'll appreciate every bit of help and consideration offered.
Once again, contact us by 26th Dec. Other than Luyang and Kiahui who have already confirmed their attendance and dishes, we'll be expecting a reply from everyone else. :) Till then! |

| updates on potluck |
ok thanks lyn for helping me to post. just to add on.
people who are attending, i think it will be advisable, if u are preparing food, to do so for about 10 ppl. regardless of the number of ppl attending, but portions for 10 ppl that range over a few dishes should be ok for everyone who attends. i predict about 15 ppl attending, since i only got mail from a few ppl, so i need ppl to email me like asap!
oh btw, luyang took sushi, kiahui took jelly etc, xinwei log cake, and me spaghetti with home made meatballs. so ya, the rest better act fast. no harm working together to bring together a mean feat of a dish. haha!
so cya during the party at luyang's house on 30 dec! ya. everyone should be reaching by 630 and starting at around 7 latest.

| One week in NS |
Dear all,
I am back for the Hari Raya Haji holidays. Just wanna update you all about my experiences in NS. For my personal thoughts and feelings, go to my blog. In this entry, I will be sharing with more of the logisitcs part of NS, that is, to complement what Audrey has posted.
Generally, Audrey's post is accurate. But there are a bit of errors here and there, probably because different batches, different companies have different standards/requirements.
Corrections to Audrey's post:
1. They do provide you toilet rolls. But you only get 2 rolls. I finish one within my first week already. So u know what to do.
2. As Audrey has mentioned, you are only given 2 grey PT singlets, 2 black shorts and 2 "brown admin", which is the brown army t-shirt. these are certainly NOT ENOUGH. go buy more. i suggest you own at least 4 to 5 sets. And army market HAS GOT STOCKS of the brown t-shirt. each shirt/shorts costs around $5-$6
3. Cup noodles and snacks not really allowed, though people have managed to smuggle them in. But in any case, you have no hot water, and no time to eat snacks. Also, for the first two weeks, you are given night snacks like paos, curry puffs, swiss rolls... etc, so there is realy no need to smuggle in like Famous Amos cookies or Kong Guan biscuits.
4. the waking up time varies. most of the time, you don't wake up at 0530. rather, you FALL IN at 0530, so which means u wake up at 0500. For Yankee company, you FALL IN at 0600, but unfortunately you guys won't be going to Yankee Company.
5. Having said that, you guys won't be going to Mohawk company either. The PTP (Physical Training Phase) batch (which is my batch) will not join you guys when January comes. You guys will form your own Companies. Hence, since Mohawk is already formed, you guys will not be entering there.
But Ninja company is not formed yet... =)
6. You won't get a chance to go to the canteen. Hardly. Unless your performance is good. So don't keep thinking about that roti john.
7. Pay for us is now $400. No longer $350. You will get your pay at the 10th of every month.
8. Get ready for water parades. the amount of water u need to drink EACH TIME is half the volume of the green army water bottle. After you have finished drinking, you need to tilt the water bottle so that it is horizontal to indicate that u have drank half the contents.
Other important things to note:
1. There is only a specific time for you to report sick. Urgent cases like broken limbs, deep cuts, fever, eye infection..etc can be reported 24/7. Non-urgent cases like flu, cough, sore limbs, sprain... etc will only be entertained from 9 to 5.
2. Training is already quite busy for the PTP batch, so much less to say for you guys, the Direct BMT batch. It's like 13 weeks of syllabus being taught within 9 weeks for you guys. So be prepared for VERY LITTLE time to shower, call home and even eat.
3. Passing Out Parade (POP) for all of us is on 12th March 2008.
4. Do train up yourself now. Do weights, run 5 KM, do 10 pull-ups everyday, whatever. Training for you guys will NOT BE PROGRESSIVE, unlike ours. You guys are expected to be fit already when u enlist, so you guys better don't slack too much now.
5. Be friends with your section mates (those people whom u sleep with in a bunk) You really need them. =) I am very fortunate to have very fun and friendly section mates.
6. Do be prepared for the excessive and liberal use of vulgarities like "chee-bye", "fuck you", "fucking hell", "fucking retard", "fucking chee-bye", "you don't fucking be " from your platoon commanders, platoon sergeants and sergeants. you need not respect them for that, but just get used to it.
7. Food there only has got quantity but no quality. Occasionally you get better food (take note: i mean "better" and not "good") like pasta, fried chicken, and ice-cream and brownie for dessert.
8. There are some chio and hot girls in Orion Company.
9. You will have at least 4 water parades each day, especially before and after each physically-demanding activity like strength training, morning physical training, footdrills...etc.
10. Get used to your supreriors astrocious standards of English. Some don't know that a basin is called a basin. Or some confused "subsequent" with "consequent". Or you will hear things like "You is..." So much for thier 'O'-Levels English Pass grade.
11. Your company/platton/section mates will most likely be JC students. About 5% are Poly, ITE, Dropouts or students who returned from overses education.
12. Try to learn how to sew. You are given a black sling bag which is of mediocre quality. It will be used to store your fully-filled (like filled to the brim) water bottle which can be too much for your bag to carry. The strap of your sling bag will soon tear and you just have to sew it. This is especially important as you guys have a confinement period of TWO STRAIGHT WEEKS, unlike me as have time to bring my bag home for my mum to sew it.
13. Bring lots of underwear so that you need not do so much laundry.
14. Don't bring too many pairs of your OWN white socks. You are not allowed to wear any white socks except for the SAF-issued ones.
15. You must do your own laundry by hand. No washing machines available for recruits like you and I.
16. Since you guys will have a packed training shcedule, and a two-week confinement period, and you have to do your own laundry by hand, thus it is EXCEPTIONALLY IMPORTANT that you guys bring extra PT shirts, brown admin, black shorts and underwear to avoid the need of laundry.
17. You are never clean in army, so learn to make do with a quick 3 minute shower (or less than that) and wear the same, unwashed shirts/pants/socks for 2 or 3 days. Please don't wear the same underwear for more than one day. That's just disgusting.
18. If you want, go buy:
garters,
boot laces,
black mirror,
black tape,
large tin of prickly heat powder (the Snake brand one that Audrey mentioned), lighter,
key lock and
range card
ALL FROM ARMY MARKET now so that when you first book out you need not go and buy, but can stay at home to rest. These should cost around $20.
Just tell the aunties/uncles manning the shops there these English names, they know their stuff.
19. I think MP3 is allowed. So if you want you can bring it to listen during free time.
That's all for you guys. If there is anything else, I will be back on Christmas (if I don't get confined) to share with you guys more. |

| for you guys out there |
I got this from my rj OGL. Seems kinda helpful for you guys enlisting into the army soon. I copied the relevant parts, hope it's of help to you people before you get the full story from heng. Take care! :)
For the army boys: Ok so you're probably enlisting soon so play hard before you go in. But do prepare before you go in. It'll really make life much easier for you. So you might want to make a trip down to army market.
Things to expect:When you go in, you'll get a 2 week confinement, so bring the necessary stuff like:
-extra underwear (boxers are not allowed)
-toiletries (they do provide you with a Gillette shaver, toothbrush and toothpaste but you have to use your own toilet roll)
-Snake brand powder (very useful)
-Wet wipes (for area cleaning or other purposes)
-Cheap sandals to wear around in bunk ($2 kind)
-Detergent (I recommend getting the liquid kind. much easier to handle put it into a bottle)
-extra black shorts (the brown shirts which you will most probably be wearing isn't available at beach road last i know)
-safety pins (rifle component. gets lost often as it's tiny so saves you an extra if you have spares)
-Cup noodles and snacks! (but check with your officers first)
i can't remember what else i needed but anyway.
They'll provide you with 5 sets of No 4 (the green normal ones), 2 sets of boots, 2 sets of shorts and t-shirts (admin they call it) and 2 PTattire.
Liquid shoe polish isn't allowed (just don't get caught though) but all you have to do is keep your boots black (might want to consider getting extra kiwi and brush)
You can get most of the stuff you need during the e-mart break which you may have (depending on your officers) but most likely you won't really have sufficient points to buy much yet (yea points they give you to spend so you don't have to pay by cash).
You wake up 5.30 everyday and sleep at 10.30
Get used to drinking lots of water. Water parades happen like ALL THE TIME in the army. Keeps you hydrated which is good.
The roti-john at the canteen is awesome (the malay one, there are 2 canteens) Go try it if you get the chance.Oh and yeah, you get $350 pay
Anyway you'll be sleeping in a 12 men bunk known as a section. You'll have an individual section instructor who's probably a sergeant. The discipline master is known as the sergeant major (he's the guy who gives you extras so you can't go home during the weekends) so don't piss him off. 4 sections/bunks on 1 floor form a platoon who's headedby a platoon commander (aka PC) who's an officer / 2LT. There will also be a platoon sergeant (higher ranking sergeant guy). You address officers as SIRS and specialists as SERGEANTS (they're quite picky about this). So 4 platoons eventually make a company who is under your officer in command (OC). (biggest boss there) You won't see much of your friends in other companies though sadly, much less the other school.
Some other things to note, there are 2 schools, school 1 and school 2.School 2 if you're in Mohawk or Ninja company, watch out, just try to survive. Mohawk is discipline freak and ninja is just crazy. If you're in Leopard, you're in the scholar company so good for you.
Oh and lastly but most importantly, you'll be assigned a buddy for the entire duration of your BMT life. Take care of him and get him to lookout for you as well. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH. Life will be so much better if the 2 of you work together. Besides your rifle who will be your wife, he is the next most important person.
For the PSC scholars wannabes:
Ok for the guys applying for PSC, if you want a military or police scholarship, you need to be combat fit.
Finish BMT and get into OCS.
If you're in leopard scholar company, that's half a step there but even if you're not, fret not.
But the most important thing is to qualify into DELTA WING of OCS. And in there good luck to you (I had even more fun there than in BMT haha)
Every SAFOS/SPFOS SAFMS and SPFMS scholar has been for Delta wing,including all president scholars.
And yah, do work on your essays and interviews.
PSC likes UK, so do apply there. They don't seem to like only USA applicants.
Current affairs is extremely important. (They asked me about the Virginia Tech university killings on the day it was reported!)
Anyway eventually the interview will be at the national library where you sit in front of a panel of many senior people and let them interview you. Just be true to yourself =)
Good luck!
For the peeps applying for Med school:
Alright the format for getting in involves sending in your portfolio and stuff including an essay, your resume/CCA record and teachers' recommendation so do inform your tutors if you're applying (although there's no need to do so so early)
There will be a timed essay portion following which you will have to go through 2 interviews. 1 by teaching staff (more important) and another by doctors (more casual). If you do make it to the interview you will not be allowed to reapply though.
Medical current affairs is rather important (so do read up, they ask things like HOTA, know your health ministers and health policies stufflike that) and they also tend to ask you about what you wrote in your essay so come prepared to explain to them your views and opinions.Oh yah and expect standard questions like why do you want to be adoctor. You should already know this =P
They also value attachments. They want to see you know what you're getting into and you know the sacrifices it takes to become a good doctor. So do arrange for one. it'll be easier for the girls but the guys can arrange for attachments during your BMT break if you haven't gone for one before. Just write to the hospitals, now's a good time to do so actually.
That's all! Quite long though. But hope it helped. See you peeps soon! :) |

| christmas 6c way |
weee, everyone disturbed as to how free u are after our wonderful chalet? dunno what to do with the time before u go to work, or before some of us go to ns? bah! so here goes...
there is an upcoming christmas party, venue is undecided. do note that it is tentative venue. also, the party will be in the form of a potluck, so we don't have to stick to the usual fare of pizza and fast food. SIAN!
below are the details for the potluck:
finger foods/ appetisers
i opened up this section to allow for time for people who might require the aid of microwave or whatsoever to heat up the food at the decided venue. so in this case, there will be time lag for the finger foods to set in! weee!!!
main dish
ok. in this section, it is preferable that no one does any dishes regarding beef and maybe mutton. and try not to go into too expensive seafood. ya all these are for cost considerations. chicken will be a good choice, and also pork. vegetables can also be a nice main dish, or maybe pasta of sorts. frittata anyone? lol.
dessert
desserts are kinda easy rite? u can venture into anything u like. wahahhaa, i dunno la, just jiayou and do ur best?
tips on doing a potluck
so here's how u can do it. haha, look for recipes in the library, i saw potluck recipes somewhere somehow. can also get ur family members to give some ideas. most importantly, more potluck, have to work in groups to pull off the dish for everyone to hmmm, eat. so do "register" for the type of dish that u want to undertake, aka one of the three above.
the party will be on the 29 or the 30 dec, depending on which day gathers a better turnout.
also, there will be the second most anticipated present exchange ritual. wahahaha, present should range from 10-15 bucks.
so let's summarize.
06S6C christmas party plus present exchange
Venue: undecided
Day: 29 or 30 Dec
Time: 6 pm
To bring or prepare: potluck dish(es) + 1 present per person
Note: cost considerations (money will be split amongst all attending)
For indications on what food u want to make, and also which day u prefer, email yanmin, yanzhi, jiawei or junquan. please email by 20 Dec, very important. |
