Well... Squad 3 performance

And their squad 2 counterparts.... As Yiyang said, the trend has definitely progressed to wearing one uniform colour... I remember in Squad 3, preparing for our "take-my-hand-take-my-whole-life-too" dance (or was it "take my hair"? or something) we all wore... very colourful stuff... heheh... Oh well....

Anyway during squad interaction... All the junior-seniors gathered around n talked all sorts of nonsense... from anime, to the fact that the time which takes for a germinal epithelial cell to morph into a sperm was the same length of time as BMT.... Incidentally, only Wei Quan and I are going in in Jan... The rest of my team gets to earn money, learn to drive etcetc haha... Anyway it was really really fun... For once it was stress free haha!

The only drawback about the farewell was the *ahem* teacher incharge who is so terrifically qian bian (or "kiam pah" in hokkien), to rush everyone to clear up when the programme wasn't even done, then stood by with his umbrella while everyone was rushing in and out of the rain cleaning up, without lifting a finger to help, but who's mouth muscles somehow managed to keep moving... With all due respect to the person-who-cannot-be-named, in AHSJAB everyone should pull their weight or leave...

Ok... so about the graduating squad.... Just some memories and thoughts regarding them... Squad 1'03 and Squad 2'04 (for thats the years we knew them while we were part of the division) was a really really fun squad to be around during our two years in the division... Memories include:

Whacking Melvin with the flag during Camp 2003 (this was the first documented incident of me jerking awake from sleep)

Hannah and Joyce who used to beg, bribe, coerce or threaten =D wei quan and I to help carry their stuff down the hill for them after CCA

Kok Keng, who, when playing street soccer against a combined scouts and NCC team, had 13 one-on-ones, but only scored on the last attempt haha =D And the rest of their AC team, who played soccer with us all the time after CCA, celebrated Xuan Ming's fourth birthday on 29th Feb 2004 haha, and whose praises at their skills at first aid and footdrill etc were regularly sung by Xuanming, David and Soo Yee during debriefs... an who's stretcher opening time came periliously close to my own team =D....

Yuan Ling, whom I remember carrying the water bottles during the final tekan session of Camp 2003 of which I was the COS IC

Pinru and Hoyan who once came to play badminton with us and some seniors during an early part of St. John life... Also Hoyan and Boonkai, both from Harconan in 2003, who's first aid skills were highly lauded by Wei Quan and Joanne (who commanded that HP group), and who were predicted to set up their own clinic

Joycelyn and Xinhui (the former of which was in my HP group), who recently scared me to death when Joycelyn borrowed my waterbottle for a drink, took one mouthful and inexplicably began laughing and laughing, laughter which eventually infected Xinhui and to this day I don't know what was so funny about the water in my bottle -_-'"

Squad 2' 04 was.... quick to learn, good friends, loyal division mates, and it was a real pleasure to be their OC, as well as to be one of the seniors fortunate to be active when they in turn became NCOs.. Well, they are now part of seniors as well, so all the best to them in their St. John life, or otherwise... There is still much to do (especially if one goes to OTC, or, not being free on Sundays, becomes a SNCO).

Yup shall wrap it up for now... blog about hospital attachment in the near future then...
