Waylean rabbits evolve into Winniebeans. Both species are known to carry items that are heavier than them, including bio textbooks.

Captain’s ball this week was fun. But I don’t know why Natasha keeps laughing at the way I play. Maybe I should have gotten Uncle Steve to record us on video. And sporty Jialin was as usual trying to overcome her fear of balls that come from the air. She almost did. Har har. I gave her a long pass when she was walking towards us and she looked real prepared to catch it till it was 2 metres away from her. At that point she suddenly screamed and dodged =)

Harry had a craving for durians and bought some back to eat and the next day he suffered from sore throat for 2 hours. But he saw someone and his body healed itself in a flash. Thereafter he started to act crazy and hyperactive and we decided that once he turned 18 he has to keep away from alcohol at all costs. Hm, speaking about durians, I really want to try the XO ones and the sticky orange ones mann. I wonder how the Ubin ones taste like too. It was durian season when I went there for atc. Before that I never knew Ubin had so many durian trees! And it happened to be ripening time in July so we saw many ppl picking them and chopping them up. Arr, and hungry and tired after 2 repeated hikes that day, I really felt like bringing some back to camp. Hmm…and I crossed the width of Ubin 6 times in 3 days.

Joke of the week-Kenny Ong

And pointing to a table, he asked “may I borrow this chair?” Miss Lee, mildly amused, said this to him. “TABLE” and pointed to the table. “CHAIR” and pointed to the chair. Kenny turned red and smiled. The class lawled.

ATC

Was my 5th and final ATC and I will surely miss the NPCC campsite! Memories since sec 3..the tent pitching, the tekans, the campfire council ring..missing pegs..stupid damned fire drills..rafting..half cooked noodles..the tough and enjoyable experiences just came back the day I left the campsite. Was my last official contribution to the corps and it was kind of sad to leave. It was, of course, great to have more free time now..after all, NP was a challenging CCA for me, having to be committed as officer even in JC. Yet, after 6 years in NP, I developed a certain emotional attachment to my unit, my squadmates and most importantly the stuff we went through together. So I felt that I had to give my best for this ATC. Waking up at 5 to give PT was a torture of course but somehow I found the enthusiasm and energy to drag myself up from the damn nice bed and tekan the cadets (heh..joking)

Oh and not to forget Paul sir, who has always inspired me as a role model. First time heard him joke about the tew tew phrase in front of everybody and we all lawled. Area fivers should know what. Haha..and my fellow CIs Wei Bin ADT, Melvin and Yan Han who have been great buddies during our term. Also had a great time working with my junior officers, although the J08 PRODUCTS are quite mad (sometimes I wonder what might have went wrong, maybe the food?)

Hmm and this ATC we waged war with the ant army which invaded half the girls tentage area and bit their way through the rations. Every ATC is a feast for them. What could be better than the campers 11-course meals? So on the 2nd day lunch, we set out on our kill ants mission armed with dirty mop water and insecticide. And the dirty mop water was more effective. Hundreds perished in the flood that day including a number of queens. All we got was a few bites and a few wasted ration packages. So we win lor. The rest of the ants retreated.

Alright back to work. Wont be back soon but I’ll like to end with our CI campfire performance song, which will always remind me of my last ATC =)
