ok... everyone has blogged about recruits, I better do mine.. Alvin's post was somewhat short, Wenjie as usual, describes and narrates the whole story, most of it was about how he screwed up. Read his blog if you wanna know about his life. Lijia talked about the boys and all that. Nat is probably too traumatized to blog. I'm typing.
Recruits camp was extremely well planned, but rushly executed. It was sort of slack, since it was for the sec 1s.. and reminded me of LDC 2 where there were lessons all the time. The boys in my squad.
Jeremy - The guy who was sort of a loner, coz almost everyone else was from the same class, I wouldnt blame him. He was a rather helpful guy, volunteered for everything, like carrying logistics for the squad, we wasnt very irritating or noisy either. But too quiet, he could have tried to mix.
Jia Hua - The person I stayed away most from, I got Billy to distract him at the back. Apart from dirty jokes and random, lame replies and comments, his irritating was the talk, not the actions, which I was quite relieved for. He almost completed the hike though, took the safety car at Clementi, which was really such a waste. At least this batch of sec 1s didnt abuse the safety car like last year... If Jia Hua does mature, he could be in one of the top positions in BB, by reserving certain comments for himself.
Zhe Hui - The boy whose name I kept forgetting, the boy who kept reminding me that I kapt forgetting his name. I got everyone's name by the end of the hike, however. He wasnt one of the very prominent boys who would capture my attention, not very outstanding, but he's quite sociable with the rest of the squad. He didnt give me any probs, except constantly asking me what his name was.
Jonathan - He has the most potential as a leader, I may see him as a COS or CSM soon.. He does take initiative sometimes, and kept trying to take over my lead in the hike,, haha, but he does know a lot about these stuff like hiking and field cooking, and shares his knowledge. His knots were perfect, and always one of the first to teach the others who didnt know. He also help me a lot in controlling the boys, like my automatic loud speaker when I tried to shout but had a sore throat. Yeah he sort of hanged around me. I have to admit I tried to be interesting to success.
Jun Hao - Another guy who seemed to have memorized his whole stack of adventure notes. I cant say much about him, except that he looked like the AQ type, quite a typical sec 1, and reminded me of myself when I was sec 1. Coincidentally his hairstyle was similar to mine to a certain extent, but wdv...
Jun Rong - Someone I would consider nominating for best boy.. He help to carry a lot of stuff, and was one of the less "making silly comments" persons. He got carried away sometimes around the others though, everyone does, even
me.
Christopher - A quiet person, but chatty when talking to me. A memorized the notes boy and seemed to know everything about every sec 1 in BB. I wouldnt reveal too much of them.. Nothing much to say about him, liked to stay in the middle.
Now on to the puny.. oops, smaller ones,..
Joel - Average BB boy, quiet when he he didnt know the rest of the squad well. He was hanging around the other little people. A very quick learner when I demonstrated the knots. Like me during my recruits hike " Dont complain or talk so much, just follow the squad leader and walk, how difficult can it be" kind of person.
heh heh.. I got a new phone..
Wen Hui - Omg I have to admit he was quite cute. haha I dont usually say this kind of thing.. Cant really say much, definitely not the kind who will annoy others.
Hmm.. I forgot 1, and I cant remember... xzzzzz......
ok.. really sorry to that person.. I tried to recall...
Overall I think my squad was the best, even thought not the first. Clemence got pissed off by his, one guy claimed persistently that he knew holland very well, they ended up wasting 15 mins, they werent even supposed to go in. Mence later made them all super scared of him and they ran until they regain 1st position. I think they're still scared of him after he apologized. Then Nat's squad.. HAHAHAHAHA.. Nat's squad.. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.... Apparently, there was a guy, I shant reveal his name who liked to "touch" other guys. Christopher who knew a lot about him said Ms Lily was quite fed up with him in classes. He was following Nat through almost the whole hike and singing songs like Barney and Teletubbies.. did I spell it correctly? Then he put him arm around Nat and said, "I heard you are taken.. who is it?" Then Nat was like.." umm... your hand.." okie Nat if you want me to take this down I will... And then Caleb's squad, he was at Bukit Batok when I was nearing Singapore Poly from Clementi..
Some random stuff.. I screwed up a drum fill-in during worship. Mac when the boys were asleep after the hike. I had photos of the map in my iPod. I think I sprained a knuckle, I dunno how.
