Yesterday, the HCI NPCC Sec 1 Squad went to CIP with a few of our seniors. We were working with Public Utilities Board (PUB). The area that we were doing on is in Clementi. We were split into groups of 2 or 3. We had to knock on the doors of the apartment that were assigned to each group and ask them whether they want us to install water saving devices to help them reduce water consumption. The students were supposed to promote water saving habits while the PUB officers install water saving devices. There were also pamphlets about water saving habits to be given to the residents.

For this post, I am going to talk about good water saving habits. I am sure that everyone knows some water saving tips so I am going to talk about some that we are not so familiar with. There were a lot of good water saving habits that were mentioned in the pamphlets but I am only going to touch on 2 due to the word limit and the length of the post.

1)Monitor your water bills. Check your monthly water bills to monitor your family's water consumption. From what I understand, there is also a graph at the back of the bills to show you the water consumption of the past few months and the national average for the type of apartment you are in. If your consumption is more than the average, re-look your family's water usage habits and try to keep it under the national average.

2) Avoid flushing the toilet unnecessarily. Some people like to dispose tissues, insects and other similar waste into the toilet. Dispose them in the trash rather than the toilet.

Apart from the above tips, I will also like to share some facts about how easy it is to save water.

Sorry for not posting during this few days, actually, it is 13 full days. Not many ppl are tagging so don't feel like posting. I don't know why, but I found myself busy these few days. Maybe it is because of the projects that I have now with me. Projects' Day project, maths project, photo montage, art project, etc.

Yesterday got no NPCC training! :D This is to make up for the Half Day that Dr. Hon announced last Term.

Went for CIP this morning. It was organised by HCI NPCC. More information will be posted about it at a later date.

Just went to the doctor. I reviewed like for 4 times le. The medicine they give are not that effective, thus causing me to waste money to go to the clinic again.

This is going to be a short post for the first time. Still got maths homework and history to do. Sianzz. Tag leh people.

-Don't wait for luck to arrive, work hard for knowledge.

This week is the sabbaticals (don't noe if I spell it correctly) week so there are no lessons! Yipee! We did FPSP - Future Problem Solving Programme in these 2 days whereby students leaders from Sec 4 come to our classroom to teach us the six steps of FPSP. Quite fun and slacked when we watched the movie 'Eagle Eye'. Hehe :D.

Yesterday, we had to stay back for the class meeting after the FPSP and the research module. The purpose of the class meeting was to have feedbacks on the CMC - Class Manangement Committee and to nominate suitable ppl (around 5 per role) to be the various roles. The class would then vote on who is the best ppl to be in that role. 1st, Mr Ong started the nomination for the Chairman. I was surprisingly nominated. Didnt expect it. Of course, I didn't get to be the Chairman. Joshua Hia was the Chairman. Not that surprising. I would have voted for him if I were not one of the nominee for the Chairman. Next, it is the nomination for monitor. I was nominated again and the whole chunk of words up there repeated itself. Next is the secretary, I was nominated again. Sry to keep using this phrase but the whole chunk of words up there repeated itself.

Next is the Treasurer. I was nominated again. There is also a rule that all the ppl who are nominated will have to stand outside of the class for the class to do the voting. I was like having a punishment! Lol. I might as well stand there forever. Haixx. I was not chosen again! Next is the Welfare Secretary. I was nominated again and the whole chunk of words up there repeated itself. So unlucky. Nominated 5 times and I got into none. The last was the Facility Secretary. I was finally not nominated. Not a good thing to me coz I wanted to get into the CMC. I dono how to comment abt this event except the word ' unlucky'.

Went home by bus. Saw Hong Kang sir(my npcc NCO!) at the bus stop. My bus came. I saw him moving to the bus. I was shocked. He taking the bus I taking leh! (1st few sentences is a causal way of posting. ltr ppl say my post like newspaper report) There were a few ppl between me and him. I was so scared to talk to him coz he is an officer (clarification: NCO is a Sec 4 officer to train us). He is usually very fierce or stern. Suddenly, the few ppl between him and me alighted fom the bus. So I had to move in. I would be standing next to him then! But Hong Kang sir is a nice guy - during drills, PT, RT. I started the conversation 1st, by waving my hands to say 'hi' and asking him a question. I not gonna tell you the conversation coz ltr you all will say that I am a coward! Lols.

Tmr got camp. So will be away for 3 days only ( Wednesday - Friday). Dont miss me!~ Lol. Tag during these 3 days please :D. But do not spam. The ppl who tagged the most during these 3 days and not spam will probably get a prize!

So...

--THE END--

INTERESTING post. This should keep your eyes here. Yup, this post will be quite interesting as I am going to talk about the war games that I had yesterday during NPCC training. I am going to post 2 times coz it is too long. This is the 1st one! As it was the our last NPCC training for this term( going camp next week) , we had war games instead of drills and physical training. I must say that the war games are fun!

We started with a briefing of the games and the 'history of the game'. There was originally only one god who governs hwachong. But suddenly, an evil god came and another god came. Therefore, there all together 3 gods with 3 different colours. And their followers and they fought for years and years until today. So the Secondary 1-3 cadets were split into 3 teams. I was under the evil god, the TANG god and its colour is yellow. Tze Hou is in the same team as me! John and Dickson were in the blue team and Vincent was in the red one.

Wondering how to win? The teams win by points. If you 'killed' someone from other team, the ppl 'killed' must surrender and it will be held hostage. The 'killer' will bring the 'killed' to the war free zone whereby 500 points will be deducted for each hostage. For example, if someone from the yellow team 'killed' someone from the blue team, the yellow will bring the blue to the war free zone and 500 points will be deducted from the blue team's points. There is also a commander in each team. The commander will have 4 ballons and a water gun. For each balloon being burst by the enemy, points will be deducted from that team's points. If the commander dies, 10000 points will be deducted. There are also flags and for each flag retrieved, points will be added.

How to 'kill' ppl then? Everyone except the commander will have a band that is tied to the wrist. If the band is ripped off by the opponent, he will be killed :D. Oh yar, the commander is killed when all of his ballons burst. Ok, enough for the intro. As I have mentioned earlier, I am in the yellow team. A sec 3 cadet was the commander and we locked him up in the Art block so no one can go in and kill him. And we started to attack! We split the hwachong high sch section into 3. One territory for each team. So, we have to attack to the other territories to kill ppl and get the flags!

(continued by the post below this one)

(continued from the post above this post)

Our team's strategy is to move in teams of at least 5 so that when we see ppl of only 1-3 from other teams, we can gang them and kill them. Note that there are NO violence. I was in a team with Tze Hou and some Sec 1s and 2s. We managed to chase after ppl who has only 1-3 ppl together but didnt manage to kill anyone. Therefore, we went to find flags instead and found one at poolside cafe. Went back to the war free zone to get the points. that's when I heard that the blues ganged the red commander and the red commander died. Therefore, the reds formed an alliance with the yellows. We called oursleves the 'orange' team. But the points is still separated. It is just that the blues are going to have points deducted as 2 teams are going to kill them.

I joined another team and I started to kill ppl :D. We have 10 ppl in the team so it is more easier to gang ppl. Oh yar, when we want to gang ppl, we will shout 'GANGBANG' and we will all chase after the blues. I killed Dickson when 3 other ppl ganged him but I was the one who ripped his band. Later on, I killed someone who was very stubborn. He keep on hiding his band despite the fact that 10 ppl surrounded him. We didnt use violence to rip the band but I just reach to his band and get it off. :D. Later on, I outruned Philmann and stopped him and got the band off. Killed Dickson with my team again. Killed John later on too.

Nearly to the end, I was very tired after running around the school. I must have runned at least 3km. But the game hasnt end yet. The blues versus the orange behing the Tan Kah Kee statue. It was like the final showdown. But I got carried away when I was thinking of how to get the band off of one blue guy. Someone from the blues ripped off my band for the 1st time! However, the other ppl from orange took revenge and rip off the band of the one who killed me. So we both went to the war free zone. However, as the game is ending, no points were deducted from my team points because I was killed. There were a long queue of casualities! It was not counted. Yay! So I killed 5 ppl, I died none.

And.. the game ended. We fall in repectively in our teams. And the results were announced. The Yellow won!! Other teams gt their commanders killed and their points are all negative 10000++. But our team's commander was not killed and we were the only team that got positive number! The other group later on threw water bombs at us! I guessed it was our present for being the best! Lol. Next we had the photo taking. When it was the yellow team's turn and we were all ready to smile and take photo. The seniors and the NCO( officers) splashed water at us with a whole pail of water. My back was all wet!!! When the water was splashed, I felt a hit on my arm. Apparently, they threw the pail accidentally (or purposely). And I was the unlucky guy who got hit by the pail.

Still got a lot to say but the post is too long. Sry for such a long post btw.

It's March!

2nd month of this new blog! Let's not have a 'lenghty' post for this one. Today was not a very pleasing day and not one too for my marks :(

At the start of the day, we got back our science test papers. Not happy at all. 27/40. That's what it wrote on the paper! B3!!! My target was A1! I was so 'traumatized' that I didn't pay much attention in class for science lesson. Until Mrs Teo said that there was an error that she made and changed the answer for one of the questions. And I actually got correct! 1 more mark!! 28/40!!! A2!!!! Not satisfactory though but at least I got an 'A' !

Went on till the last 2 lesson of the day. Language Arts. Test marks will be released again. Ms Lim first went through the literature essay, keeping us in suspense for the marks. Got 20/25 for the essay. That's a good thing. However, for my test marks, it is the opposite. 20/30. 66.67% --->B3! 1 more mark again to get A2. However, how can marks be changed for situational writings? Therefore, I cant get any more marks and broke the continuous 'A' s. Haixxx. MSG --> 1.25 ---> 1.4 ---> 1.67

My MSG should be confirmed that I got 1.67. Not bad, but not good enough. What a bad start and another bad ending in school! Promised that it will not be 'lenghty' so that's about all!

My tagboard went to sleep again. So? Tag lar!
