HQ FD Accreds

Well, today's the day to show how communism red cross is. Lol.
Kwoky finally convinced me to go for silver accreds with hq last nite. So I went. Borrowing JQ's uniform. Anyway, when we got there everyone had alrdy fallen in, omg. Me and Romeo were busy rushing to change, the toilet's super stinky, super wet, super dirty, super %#$^-ed up. But it was super high-tech. Like when you step in the lights auto-on..o.0 really really cool- for a lousy toilet in TKSS anyway.

Teh school rocks. But then again, lousy toilet. We put our stuff in like the furthest classroom in the school, then received our notes for fd silver. We were grouped into 3 groups, group one had Hadi lol, group two had Joel WTF, then my name wasn't there. -.- Whatever lah, the VI also took my name down as 'JieQi', lol borrow uniform de. The discipline was surprisingly highly slack. When we did footdrill in the morning sun. The fiery god in that burning ball in that sky was staring straight at me with a middle-finger in my face -.- Argh, hard to pay attention to the lesson. Then we split into the 3 groups and started practising. The good thing is I kena-ed Hadi SIR the VI, a fat VI that looks like Lazydork, a woman who was really damn man, and another VI.

Then after practising bronze commands..which included saluting for 10 mins...screw you Hadi. We further split into 2 groups, I luckily was under Hadi again... the other group, really feel sorry for them. Under that female VI in uniform who was seriously damn man, her voice was like...really low. omg. Then it was drill drill drill whatever.
Lunchtime!! YAY. Walked like 2.4km in boots that were too big to the food court. Like 8.5% of the stalls were open(8 stalls and 1 that wasn't serving) ate hokkien mee there, the guy was really nice, $3 hokkien mee I kena-ed 5 prawns and alot of mee..really hungry then. Then me and joel just ate.

Afternoon that time was more drills. Then we were learning belok(wheel), and inside our little group, we were split into 2 again. So it's like..

1 unit-> total no. of people taking rc silver accreds.
1/3 unit-> 1 group.
1/6 unit-> group under Hadi and Lazydork VI
1/12 unit-> group just under Hadi
then it boils down to me..which is like, 1/72 unit.

wow. Somehow, by luck, the group which was just under hadi that included me had 5 girls and 1 guy(me). Wow. All the other males were in the other seperate squad with Lazydork..wow. Really. WOW. -.- God's Will I guess. The standard of discipline is damn nice. We fidget and for once, Hadi the very cruel sec4 didn't even bother. Standard of neighbourhood schools? If that's the level of discipline I face in RIRC, I'd go for training every damn time man! Then we still couldn't do belok properly, so creative VI used our bottles to demo..really cool.

"Remember the bottles."
Yea, I'll remember.

Then when we combined squad, all 70+ ppl in 1 squad. Everything in footdrill just turns cool. Marching all over the parade square, ke-kenan lurus, maju, hentak, belok, hormat, memenri, whatever, when you do it with alot of ppl, fd just becomes cool. The experience was worth the sunburn. Including the mass besurai, I remember 2 girls around me screwed up, never salute just march one.

Then with theory, I really dunno how they teach, and abt the uniform..all girls were pants under their rc uniform skirts, but some are really long, and when they just squat, it's incredibly obscene. Like at a break, the girls in my 1/12 squad were all squating in a line towards the canteen..really obscene, not only towards me but towards everybody in the canteen too..yuck.

The 7pm drama that we all watch, abt teens..the govt addresses all teenage issues in 1 drama, efficient. I saw the girl who was tomboyish and got her nude pics on the net from the drama in TKSS...she's actually in TKSS and in band..wow.

But the thing that really caught my eye was the classroom tables. Usually I'd see tables badly vandalised in someway or other..trust me, I know. But all the tables had a huge piece of coloured paper on them. And all the students just drew what they wanted, and had to put their goals there, like academically, family, physically etc..really. As a result, students can express artistic talent in a form of 'vandalism' in a 'non-hazardous' way. I've even seen 'Grove Street Rock On' lol, and in RI? White classrooms, Green structure..Black as night...boring. The curriculum is boring and hard to grasp. The discipline killed and still does. Some of the best teaching methods actually come from neighbourhood schools... I've started to wonder every since I've come to RI whether I've made the right choice...and the answer? No. But I've never regreted joining RIRC. Nope.

Anyway, theory was done...and at 5.30 we were released..vacate the school in 15mins..cool. 15 mins to change in that toilet again..saw romeo..but honestly, footdrill was fun. The school was cool. But I'm tired, and actually typing so many words about today amazes me. Wow.

Good Night. I hopefully can get some solace in the state of San Andreas.
