We are now giving u a last chance of promotion test. the aim is such that you all will not fail so badly. this wednesday there will be a revise for all of you all. don't think too highly of yourself. just come for it. those who uniform that you all think cannot make it just now also please remember to do amend to it. if you do not know how to polish your boots, you can bring kiwi, cloth and your boots so that we can give you all one demonstration.
WEDNESDAY TRAINING WILL BE IN SCHOOL 9AM SHARP. FALL IN AT THE BLUE BOX IN YOUR PT KIT, bring along your twine, scissors, papers. any doubt feel free to contact me. ( not others ) i don't want you all to harass other CIs.
Firstly, i would like to apologize for any harsh words being used in the previous post. but then again, i m not saying it for fun. I do hope you people take this as a serious matter.
Uniform is part of NPCC. it is just like you are wearing school uniform. Why we wear school uniform? coz it is a sense of identity to others. Likewise, for NPCC, we do the same. Did you ever go to teacher and tell them, Miss/Mr. XX can i dont wear school uniform today? No rite?
i hope all of you understand that, NPCC uniform is almost the same as Police uniform. That's why when you don on it you must feel proud of yourself. This is too another reason why we want you people to iron your uniform to tip top. Let me bring you thru another example, do you go for job interview with your formal not iron? no rite? it will gives others a bad impression about you. So when you didnt iron your uniform to tip top, it is the same, it gives other a bad impression that you can only go sloppy drills and what is worst is that you give other a bad impression like. "OMG! NPCC is like tt one ar?" if they really ask this, do you feel proud in NPCC?
We, the CIs, have gone thru many of this thing and can said that we are an experience cadet now. Still remember i ask why you all join npcc? what is the reason behind it for joining?
Some of you said, for CCA points, to learn this to learn that. But before you wan to learn did you put it into action? did you make an effort to learn it? ask urself now.
I remember, dont mind me if i point out names here, Pei Fen told me in MSN that she envy the rank of a CI and wan to get it. It is good to have this thots in your mind, this shows u r futurelistic. But then again, If you all wan to acheive this rank, uniform and other stuffs that is required to bring you must remember to bring. That is the most basic thing, if you didnt even have the sense of responsibility to remind yourself to do this and to do that, then wat for u plan so far ahead rite?
It is really disheartned to see you people get scolded by us so many times. We scold not for the sake of scolding, or for fun. But all CIs scold is hope to achieve a common goal, which is to allow you people to learn from mistake. Next training, there will be an evaluation session whereby you people will evaluate the just step up Cadet Leader, your squadmate and lastly the CIs. We do this is to change for the better. Even CIs are seeking to change for the better, as we know nothing is perfect, if it is not perfect then it is our job to make it perfect.
Like i say, quit is one method to get away with this hectic CCA, but think about it you are avoiding it. Girls, when you go out to work, u will get the same thing too. Nothing is going to go smoothly as you plan, you have bosses on top to guide you, scold u, but wat to do? you only can follow. We are now training you people to get use of the society life next time. For guys, remember you still have army? if you cant endure this little bit, then i think when you go army you will not even able to adapt to the life.
So i hope you people to understand. The only thing that remain unchange in the world is change. get it? So now, let's get out of your own comfort zone, prepare more challenges that bring on to you in NPCC.
Hope all of you pass your promotion test alright!
The following will be the manpower allocation for Promotion: CI Ong Kok Hao & CI Soh Lian An - LCP to CPL & CPL to SGT CI Lim Kay Yong & CI Goh Jian Zhong- Private to LCP
CI Ong Kok Hao & CI Jason Tan - 3rd Class Drill Badge CI Soh Lian An & CI Goh Jian Zhong - 2nd Class Drill Badge
Other Theory Test (include campcraft theory) - CI Lim Kay Yong
we will first test you on Rank test, then after that 15 mins break we will go to Drill badge test. For those who have to take theory test (name list will be out soon) will stay back to take the theory test!
guys, hope that not because of this punishment then make you guys don't feel like coming to npcc. everything that we do is all for your own good. we do punish you for the sake of punishing but also we will like to enhance your own responsibility too. you guys can make a effort to come training, why don't make another extra effort to bring your uniform / pt kit to training too? if you all don't know what is the attire, you can call either your friends or just bring half uniform and pt kit to training. this is the solution for you guys. we do not want you guys to be the black sheep among the whole squad and make all of them suffer. we CIs also have a kind side. but if u mistreat it, we can show you the evil side of us. so it is your choice whether u want to enjoy during the training or suffer in it. lastly, CCA is really very important. it made a very great difference for your olevel too. if you don't believe you can ask all your seniors. i don't want you all to end up regretting too. like what kokhao sir said. if you have doubt asking us in studies, just feel free to do so.
attire : HALF-U COAT BOOTS & PT KIT . NO EXCUSES time : training will start at 2 due to the cadet leaders having chinese extra curriculum ; dismissal at 5pm . activities : training on promotion test ; pt & games . in-charge : private - lcp : errol . lcp - cpl : yuetong & sihui pt & games : lit kian .

I WANT TO ANNOUNCE TO ALL. YOU GUYS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE TO WEAR UR UNIFORM OR NOT. IF YOU ARE TOLD TO WEAR, YOU JOLLY WELL WEAR IT!
I DONT CARE WHATEVER REASON YOU GIVE. I HAVE ENOUGH!
YOU THINK THIS IS A MARKET PLACE? YOU WAN TO BARGAIN WITH ME OR ANY OTHER CI OR CADET LEADER?

IT IS NOT TAT I WAN TO SCOLD U PPL ABOUT THIS FOR FUN. BUT I WAN TO LET YOU PEOPLE NOE, WE WEAR HALF U AND FULL U IS A SENSE OF IDENTITY, IT SHOWS OTHERS A SENSE OF TEAMWORK IN OUTRAM NPCC.
AS YOU CAN SEE, I AM DAMN ANGRY NOW. IF I EVER GO BACK TO TRAINING THIS FRIDAY OR OTHER TRAINING, DONT LET ME CATCH U NOT WEARING YOUR HALF U.
IF YOU DIDNT BRING JUST JOLLY WELL ADMIT YOU DIDNT BRING, U SCARED PUNISHMENT? THEN BRING IT! IF YOU DIDNT BRING THEN DONT WAN TO COME YOU WILL BE PENELISED IN YOUR PROMOTION TEST AND BLACKLISTED. I HAVE ALREADY BLACKLIST A NUMBER OF SEC 2. DONT TAKE MY WORDS LIKELY, NPCC HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEMOTE OR TO STOP ANYONE OF YOU TO TAKE PROMOTION TEST.
SINCE YOU JOIN NPCC THEN PLEASE DO PARTICIPATE 100%. IF NOT U WILL LEARN NOTHING! I REPEAT NOTHING AT ALL.
I DONT FEEL LIKE REPEATING THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
FROM NOW ON, THOSE WHO DIDNT BRING THEIR ATTIRE WILL BE PUNISH AS AN UNIT. IF YOU ARE CAUGHT LYING TO US, YOUR PUNISHMENT WILL BE DOUBLED.
THIS TIME, I AM SERIOUS!
I CAN JOKE, I CAN LUFF WITH YOU PEOPLE. BUT I BELIEVE YOU KNOW I CAN SCOLD AND PUNISH PEOPLE AS WELL. DONT MAKE ME SHOW YOU THE BAD SIDE OF ME PLEASE. ONLY NCO KNOWS HOW FIERCE CI CAN BE.
SO! DONT FORCE US!
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO QUIT, BUT YOU ARE ONLY AVOIDING THE PROBLEM. YOU QUIT, MEANS YOU WEAK! YOU ONLY AVOID! DONT DARE TO FACE IT!
SOME OF YOU SHOW COMMITMENT IN THIS CCA, I M HAPPY. BUT SOME MOUTH SAY COMMITTED BUT DIDNT SHOW IT! SO WHAT FOR U SAY U R COMMITTED? PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG BY BRINGING YOUR NPCC THINGS AND WEAR APPROPRIATE ATTIRE TO SHOW THAT U R COMMITTED.
NOT TO THE BEST REGARD, CI (NPCC) ONG KOK HAO

--> Campcraft test, that time i already release the result for the theory. (for those who failed, please plan for retaking. It is impt for u to pass this campcraft badge if not you can nvr pass ur LCP)
--> The other theory badge test, those who miss the test the previous time, please, you noe who r the one who take tt time. Remember to take the theory test!
***I hope the Pre-Test and Revision Team will follow the test list to train individual ranks, focus on the training and dont side track with cadets please. *** For those going to take SSGT, i m sorry but the CIs are not free to train you people. I hope you guys have initiative to train yourself and if you dont noe anything please come and look for any CIs and ask them!
--> On last thing, on 29 Aug, it will be a teachers' day celebration if i m not wrong. Therefore, i guess we will start early, maybe straight after the celebration? the CIs will give you people 45 minutes break. 15 mins for you people to eat. 5 minutes to train. the other 25 mins we will have a short revision before the actual promotion test. *This only apply for those taking in Unit*
Cadet Leader if there is any enquires, please contact me.
i need to make a comment on the uniform , please remember to bring your attire tomoro . dont make any excuses .
if your skirt /pants of the uniform cant fit or tear or sth . there's some in the np room , we can help you find one . but only ONCE .
do not think that " its ok la , give once, spoil anything can take another one " then you dont care abt your uniform . NO , we will keep a record from now on . you should keep your uniform somewhere you know so it wont get lost . and it is your responsibility to take care or your uniform . if you are only borrowing items from the npcc room , please remember to return them also .
ok thats all :D take note of this ok ~ bye.

training on 15 august
as you guys know , there will be training tomoro :D
time : 2.15 [ fall in ] attire : half-u coat boots . bring along your pt-kit .
dont be late ok , there is more than enough time to fall in >:D
you all can expect drills [ training for promotion test . etc. ] and pt(most likely excercise then games) for tomoro training ~
get your fellow squadmates to come down for training >:x
the NCOs are now currently designing npcc shirt, and the price range should be from $15-$20. so please save some money for it and do not spend all your money away. you can give feedback on the design and we will consider about it too. thank.
Remember what i said during the training on Saturay?
Girls remember to bring you hairnet
Guys and Girls are to iron your pants, skirts shirt (basically all the uniform parts your are wearing)
And also to coat your boats
On polishing your boots, let me teach you all how i do Items needed First you need to buy "kiwi" Solid one...dun buy liquid 1 we do not approve it Second, get a cloth (which you dun wan ) Next get some newpaper or something (to protect your floor from getting dirty
Steps 1. Layout the newpaper on the area you are using to coat your boots 2. To start coating your boot, put a little water on your cloth 3. Take a little kiwi from the tin(the small round thing...dunno what to call it..and take a little like go round on the surface of it 4 or 5 is enough) 4. then on the use the part of the cloth where u used to touch the kiwi to go over your boots. 5. repeat steps 3 and 4 to all parts of your boots. 6. after coating each layer, give it afew mins to let it dry a little(for the whole kiwi to dry it and really take form it takes quite a while) 7. then you add another layer
This is the end for Coating, Remember... just doing this step within one night is pointless because you need your kiwi to dry fully so that it will really look nice and shiny after you polish it
Polishing Steps 1. Remember polishing is the totally opposite of coating 2. use your cloth and absorb more water (make it damp) and a little kiwi (1 time should be enough) 3. After that go round the coated area( your shoe cap, sides, and back) 4. do it slowly, using stregth is useless... slowly go in a circular motion until it slowlys become shiny, 5. Continue until the whole boots is shiny THE END
Some of you may have other methods which you feel might be better, by all means use them ^^ However remember that liquid kiwi is not allowed. Also coat your boots daily, it requires quite a number of layers of coating before your boots can shine nicely. Roughly spend 10-20 minutes every day to coat. Or you can be like me, Coat from 8-10 however its only during commercial break :P (meaning i am watching TV and only coating during breaks)
Alright, i wun be coming down during the NDP and also the last training this wednesday (6 Aug). So, just wanna give u people some reminder when you guys are doing the parade.
1. Make sure you coordinate with ur row (GLANCE to the left and right to ensure the straightness) 2. REMEMBER to March 90, 45. 3. When u people sedia, PLEASE kindly lift up your legs to 90 degree and BANG! 4. Dont u ever move in the parade 5. Pandan Kekenan properly. 6. Uniform please be in tip top! 7. Turn at a POINT when u r belok-ing.
Other CIs will be there, i will tell them to help me take note and make sure all of u do it. If not the UPCOMING promotion test (most slightly will be on 22 Aug for those taking LCP to SGT and 2nd or 3rd class) will minus marks from there. HAHA...
OK. Pre-test and revision team (Cadet Leader) please arrange some revision test for them for the upcoming promotion test. If you wan to know the syllabus please kindly come and sms me and ask for it. I expect a lot of passer this upcoming promotion test so please revise your drills all this. Pre- Test and revision team, please dont slack! TRAIN THEM after the national day parade week. No time to waste liao....
For those going to take SSGT or 1st class, u will be trained by the CIs, but when train u all will depends. ur promotion test will be on 28 Aug (thurs). So please train urself at home.
okie. for those who miss the previous theory test. U guys will be taking the test on 22 aug tgt with the unit promotion test. (note: theory test include campcraft badge test too) if you did not take any of the test, please come on 22 aug to take tt test. This is the last chance u can take the test.
TTs all!!!! =D
Good luck for ur parade this Friday! Happy National Day to u ppl.. HAHA O YA O YA!!! one more thing... PLEASE SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM and SAY THE PLEDGE LOUD AND CLEAR! be proud that u r a singaporean. If u dont sing or say the pledge loudly, means u r not a singaporean?
