RCY Challenge 2007

This camp is full of 'first-time' for me.

This was my first time:
1. in a camp as a VI
2. Interacting with cadets other than those back in Broadrick
3.Camping in Changi Coast MOE Campsite
4. I saw many seniors that I never see before
5. Abseiling
6. 'Suicide jump at 2.5 storeys high (high elements)
7. Mountain-biking (Pulau Ubin)
8. Archery
9. I saw some fellow instructors since 2 years ago who were my ULP-mates and NDP-mates
10. I enjoyed camp so much! (irregardless any past camps I attended)

RCY Challenge 2007 was my second camp (1st was linkamania) in RCY as a non-cadet(nor link!), but my first camp as an instructor. It was also my first time interacting with cadets, other than my own unit back in Broadrick. And that was the biggest Challenge for me.

I really learn alot in this camp and experienced many activities that I'd never done before.

I'm deeply inspired by the organisers by their capability to make such a massive camp a wonderful success; as well as the cadets for being co-operative and respectful.

I paid $15 and it's definitely worth every single cents because, it makes me,
1. enthu to organise my own unit camp
2. put in more effort in my unit
3. want to take part in more HQ events
4. see the fun side of a VI
5. and the reasons from the previous list!

I regret for missing the chance to rock-climb!

Chemistry I

I have a love-hate relationship with chemistry. Its complexity and synchronicity is a beauty, but then I can't help but keep forgetting what I've learn. I realise that my storage capacity duration of certain topics can be as low as 1 day!

What I love about chemistry is the satisfaction it gives when I understands it. Its something which makes sense at a higher level. Which means one has to combines several concepts in order to gain a satisfied conclusion. And when one reaches a right conclusion, it assures that one can think at a higher level, and of course, that'll provide lots of satisfaction and confidence. Chemistry provides self-enlightenment.

What I don't like about chemistry is that sometimes it is just too contradictory and there's just too many exceptions and 'special cases'. Chemistry questions are multi-tasking. It test not only on one concept but many. Let's say one particular question has 10 steps. It is likely that you may need 10 different concepts to tackle that questions. Unfortunately, life of a chemistry practitioner is much harder; other than the 10 'ordinary' concepts, one must also consider exceptions and 'special cases'.

Chemistry is spiritual. It provides many life lessons. All of us can relate and reflect alot of our experiences and phenomena with molecular science. It's a science with many themes. It's something like the book 'Tuesdays with Morrie', whereby every tuesday of the week, the professor will teach one theme in life to his ex-student. So, why not 'Tuesdays with Chemistry'!
Guess what, my 'Principle of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry' and 'Organic Chemistry' lectures are on tuesdays! It's really Tuesdays with Chemistry!

There's so much to type about Chemistry! Well, this is just part I! It shall be continue after my term test!

CCN Day

This is CCN Day two weeks ago! (yes, I update very late!)

Basically each class gotta set up a booth and sell stuffs. And my class sell popcorn, kacang putih, keropok and packet drinks. Until I renamed them respectively to- 'Special Popcorn', 'Kacang Wonders' and 'The Secret'. For packet drink I can't named them! As lame as it may sounds, it works! Well, when I saw that the packaging of the tibits were kinda very secretive and mysterious. And that's where the names comes in to suit its appearances!

Good Job A7D6!!!
