OA Modular
After seeing Shuting's blog, suddenly feel it's about time for me to blog too... haha...
well well... OA Modular workshop should be just the perfect modular workshop I should be joining... basically for 1 difference... the difference of hierarchy... In OA, there's basically no much tension and hierarchy... or at least it isn't too strict...
What I meant by tension and hierarchy? You wouldn't feel the stress being a junior VI in OA. Or would I say, you won't even think that you are a junior VI but a VI... that's a hugh different from other modular workshop or event... I feel that we are given the respect as a VI and there isn't a line that says you are senior, i'm junior... I had this feeling, I'm in tp studies club once again, everyone do have a rank in the hierarchy, but when we work, we work as a team and not as a individual taking orders from the seniors...
Suddenly, I thou of what had happened b4... when the seniors said that we dun act like VI... we can't merge as one big group of VI of HQ... I shall not say much... but repost this question back to them... Can the Senior VI accept us as VI instead of junior VI? Was it us, that can't merge into the big family? or was it the big family that is not welcoming us?
there's any issue I suddenly think of... dun wanna say too obvious... but it's just an issue of how the senior VI look at us, the Junior VI... but well... I dun really care what they think of us... We are who we are, accept it, or they can leave us alone... so call... just leave the "rotten apple" out of the basket...
haha... hmmm... how come i got so much to complaint all of a sudden... nvm! hahaha
let's talk about the camp...
Pre-Camp
Me and Shuting reach there around 11pm... haha... very late! haha... was welcome by lugan and ambrose... ehhh... had a short briefing of what will be going on... then we were to build a structure for... no purpose! hahaha... for show only i guess... and that for show only structure was out of shape and took us approximately 2 - 3 hours to build...
that's how it look like!
After building the structure, did some clean up, then we... play poker card in the office... haha... we played bluff... then did some FORTUNE TELLING!!! haha... then play D2... haha... lawrence sir even taught me how to play with only 2 ppl... hmmmm something new i learn that is not related to OA... haha... then we play D2 for 4 ppl till around 4am then we go to bed... WELL! lawrence dun have his newspaper, SO HE CANNOT SLP! hahaha... poor angie, kanna disturb by him... haha... then he abit ki siao, start reading his knots and lashers book then start doing knots... haha... he taught me 1 decoration knot which he claim that he taught me 3 years ago... =p got some "yi xiang" but can't remember how to do it oredi... took me awhile b4 i master it... by then, it's around 5.30am oredi... so ended up, me, shuting and lawrence didn't really slp la... lied on the bed... but didn't slp...
Day 1
The workshop and camp suppose to start at 8.30... but I suspect cadet to reach at approximately 8.00am... so i expect myself to do my wash up around 7.00am...
guess what? some crazy cadet actually reach around 7.10am!!! I was so shock lor! SO DAMN EARLY LOR!!! way too early... so much earlier than i expected... nvm... we just let them wait outside and prepare our stuff... approximately 7.40am, lugan (DI for silver) and me (DI for bronze) start attendance taking... expected to be rather chaotic but it turns out well... since cadet reach much earlier than expected, we have enough time to take attendance for "early birds" and the late comers... so the 100 over cadets are spread into a time frame of 1 hour to take attendance... haha.. it's good that they came earlier anyway... haha...
gather them in carpark (oredi in their groups), briefing in the canteen, 1st lesson start, 2nd lesson start, 3rd lesson start, lunch, last lesson start, revisions, theory paper, practical accred by the VI (out of 4 of us, 3 of us dun even have OA bronze lor) haha but we still conducted the accred...
there's so far no problem other than during theory paper, I have to divide them into groups b4 the practical accred... haha... lucky I DIY without instruction given to me... or else it might be abit the chaotic since the group was not divided yet... then a major drag of time occur during the practical accred... coz most of the cadet cannot map read... due to the drag, the dismissal part for the bronze is rather chaotic... parents coming to me KPKB wanna release their children... then the "SHU MEI" come and kbkp me... KNN la! she dunno anything, then come up and kbkp me for what sia... I got very dulan by her ever since...
I'm accreding the cadets, Parent come and kbkp with me, then i have to explain to them, give them a rough time of dismissal, double check who is their child, make arrangement for them to be accred first, then still have to be the timer for the stations... AND THAT SIAO ZHA BOR "SHU MEI" come and KBKP ME!!! shu ting, fyi, the timer for the station was actually "shu mei", she pass the task BACK to me when she heard there is a cute cat in the field... dulan abit oredi lor! cute cat that arouse her? F sia!
but well, "ku jing gan lai" althou very very dulan when the "shu mei" came up and start dismiss the cadets once they completed their stations (very chaotic)... but a couple of cute female cadet actually said something nice... haha... =p cute? in the sense... Shuting should know la... they "thank you, mdm" " thank you sir" all of a sudden out of no reason... just the 2 of them... me and shuting was like -_-" but... haha... I feel so much better after that...
then they slowly "claim" their belonging all over the classrooms and bunk(chaotic right?) and slowly cadets starts to go home... then a few cadet come and ask me their result la, how do they get their result la, etc... then i chatted with some of them for awhile, hmmm... then got 4 of them ask me how old am i? haha... A question I dun expected to be asked... ops... they guess that i'm 17, 19, 20 and even 22... 22!?!? do i look that old? OMG! hahaha... i always thou I have a young look, but I guess they just prove me wrong.. sob sob... haha... just kidding...
fast forward... dinner, campfire, silver theory paper, debrief... here come the dulan thingy again... that "shu mei" actually scolded lugan for some unreasonable reason... not really scold, but blamed him for being missing for 2 minutes when he's the DI! UNREASONABLE! WHY?
Lugan brief the cadet, "it's supper time, so from now on ambrose will brief them..." after awhile, lugan heard lawrence need the silver attendance, so he went up to get it for him... he went up to the OPS room for awhile (I think less than 2 or 3 minutes)... then "Shu Mei" looked for the DI and claim that DI is not doing his job by leaving the cadet "unattended"... before lugan is back for the scolding, I stood up for him oredi...
"He went up to get something"
"But he's the DI, he suppose to be with the cadet"
"He's away for awhile only"
"but he's the DI, he's not doing his job leaving his cadet..."
"Then what do you want? You want him to be with the cadet 24 hours per day. Stick with them everytime?" I'm speaking in a rather fierce manner oredi... (sitting down)
can't remember what she said oredi... but I just stared at her... and i believe she got my messenge... I'm not happy with her... lolx... if she's going to rise her voice or anything, I'm not going to sit down oredi sia... haha... I'm going to stand up and start talking... haha... to me ar... standing up and talk is more like going to start quarrelling la... that's why when i stare at her, i was sitting down... :p
after that, OTOT... cadet going for wash up and getting ready to slp... blah blah blah... "SHU MEI" and I are suppose to get the belonging of a cadet that is having a fever and is going home... so we went to the tent and get the belonging... along the way, we saw a cadet standing with wei jian... we ask him why is he here? he answered stomach ache...
"shu mei": oh... stomach ache ar... need to go home or not? think you go home la... stomache ache leh... go home la...
(pls lor! he looks fine to me... at least, i see him smiling... minor thing only la... dun have to ask him to GO HOME?!? she's too "kua zhang" liao lor)
me: have you gone to the toilet?
cadet: been there, just some minor pain la... i have bought my medicine...
me: ok... you go back to your tent, if it gets any worse, get someone in your tent and come and look for me...
blah blah blah... debrief... I was actually prepared if she's going to bring up the issue of me being rude towards her... but well... she wasn't really paying attention during the debrief... anyway, she being the cheif trainer book in in the noon time and book out during the debrief... reason for book out? went out for MOVIE! !@#$%^&*
after debrief, some of us turned in... and lawrence, me, weijian and edmund went to tear down the structure we builded... hmmmm... during this period of time, I found out that the rest was actually unhappy with "shu mei" oso... that include lawrence... haha... great! I'm not the only 1...
ok! after that, did some clean up then i turned in too... approximately 2am bah... so tired!
Day 2
=p I'm actually the last to have woke up... I woke up around 7.20am... everyone was up... heard that everyone actually overslept... the first instructor to have woke up was around 6.20am... and the cadets actually woke up oredi... and should be attendance taking around 6.30... haha... =p
Day 2 nothing much to really talk about since I dun really have responsiblities oredi... haha... breakfast, washing of tents, area cleaning, packing up, briefing for hike, getting onto the bus, reach BK timah...
blah blah blah... Me, Shuting and Hafiz is the instructors for Silver Group 5... that group only 5 cadets... haha... well well... conducted the hike lor... 4th time in bukit timah this year... hmmmm... my group actually reach the summit b4 group 4 coz group 4 went missing... haha...
lawrence: "where's group 4"
me: "ehhh, they was ahead of us just now, we saw them at catchment hut"
lawrence: ".... where are they then"
me: "i think they took the wrong turn and went to tip tip hut"
I think he said "wth" then call the instructor for group 4
group 4 came awhile later... blah blah blah... debrief and went down the hill... went to the bus-stop... then the rest of the instructor went to west mall for lunch left me and shu ting to lead the cadets that dunno how to go home to clementi MRT...
