One big family

So what if you can't see your face in the picture (just save and zoom into it lah)? It's the huge number of us that makes us stands out from other Units.

Good Old Days

Homecoming Dinner 2007 has also become a part of the Good Old Days memory for everyone. I hope it has been a good one.

Here, we would like to express our gratitude to everyone, as it was because of your support, this gathering could take place. Also, we would like to apologise for the looooong flashback presentation. Other than that, we hope the food and doorgifts were up to your likings! The poem on the back of the miniature NPCC T-shirt was penned by OC Unit, Mrs Stephanie Long, and every single knot keychains were tied by our male Cadet Inspectors.

To Mrs Mary Bay and Ms Loy Wei Kiin, we sincerely thank you for taking your time off just for this gathering. We are extremely honoured to have presence.

To the Officers, we are really grateful for your full support and advices throughout the planning and execution phase.

To the Seniors, it was so rare for us to be able to see your faces again. We really cherished the gathering moments. Thank you for returning to our big family once again!

To the Sec 3s, we thank you for your help in doing up all the logistics, serving food to the VIPs, be pacesetter to our distinguished guest, being usherers and etc. We couldn't have set up the beautiful hall so nicely, in such a short time, without your help. We know it was very physically demanding. (: Many people worked behind the curtains to make this happen... People like Weng Tat, Soon Yi, Syaiful, Zhi Sheng, Fadiana, Cheryl Foo, Cheryl Haw, Jeryl, Shalinah, Fitrah, Rosalyn, Falinah, Jia Yi, Arvin and Ming Yang. There are a few more, let me know and I'll add up the name~~

To the Sec 2s, we feel bad for delaying your time to start the ROD Dinner. Still, you guys did a great job!

To the Fancy Drill Team, the performance you put up was splendid and terrific! It really made us "recall the ultimate attraction that made us want to join NPCC". Well done for enduring through the many trainings~

To Rahayu, the pretty Ms NPCC, we are so glad that you agreed to become the MC for the gathering so willingly. You were great! I hope you learnt something out of this too. At the very least, gain some stage confidence. (:

To all CIs, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for working so closely together in order to set up this gathering. Ordering the food and doorgift, buying materials and tying the knot keychain, digging up the contacts of all our Seniors and informing them of the gathering, settling the accounts, supervising the wonderful Fancy Drill Team, designing the hall (it was really really beautiful), designing and printing the invitation cards for VIPs, and many many other more. I do hope, we all picked up valuable lessons from this gathering too.

We thank all for the praises and feedbacks that will make us do a better job should there be a next time.

We are still in the middle of uploading the photos... Look out for the update on this blog, once the photos are uploaded into our HKSSNPCC album. Meanwhile, I hope everyone can donate and share your photos with the rest, by either sending to hkssnpcc@gmail.com or to any email or MSN of the CIs.

Now and forever, we are still as one.

Confirmation notice

Please take note that NO confirmation slip will be sent to those who paid for the Homecoming Dinner. All you need to bring for the dinner would be yourself! We request for your arrival at 6.30pm, and come in through the Foyer, where we will be presenting you the door gifts. We look forward seeing you!

For Sec 3s, please report at 2pm in your PT attire. You are allowed to change into your civilian attire after we're done with the logistics.

Till then!

Reflection On The NCO Camp And How I Feel About It

Overall I enjoy the camp a lot. Even though this is the shortest but most fun, wonderful and easy-going camp I had ever been too. This is a training camp for us to become NCOs, but without the senior and CIs all this would not had happen so I would like to thanks all the senior who help out in preparing this camp and also the CIs who plan this camp.

This camp really let me learn a lot, like all the games we played had an objective the CIs want to tell us. Example the poncho game even this game when we first go in it is stressful and lots of us wanted to give up but we still carry on as a team until the end the senior and CIs try to let lose and also give us support, this objective is to stress us first and give us support as to see under what circumstances are we better at working and thinking and also the whole group must have great communication skills so we will be able to direct each other through the obstacle. There is also another game called the spider game when we went in to the hall we were all blind folded and then we all have to make our way to the stage so we will be able to win or something, this objective should be trusting each other and listen to instructions, cooperate with each other and use the sense of touch to find your way through. There is also one more game called galang gune [don’t know spell correct anot] its like we have to get all the logistic first then we try to use all the resources we have to form a game, I find this game is the most interesting and the most difficult because we have to use our brain to think of creativity, objective and also the fun in the game, this game let me understand that we have to listen to every member first to think of what kind of game they want and then form up everyone’s idea to make a whole new creation of game.

I feel that I really bond with my peers a lot like we help out each other when another is in need, we try to support the other group and even though our this batch had lots of misunderstanding in the past, but we can still work as a team and walk this far. And also the communication within my peers are better now and the trust within us is stronger now and after this camp I find that those who hardly talk to each other starts to communicate better.

Dedicated to Sec4s (2006)

Yo all Sec4s (2006)! That's the end of your life in HKSS NPCC! Like what Mrs Long said, you guys are indeed a very obedient and unique batch. Obedient, but never boring with so many interesting characters among you all. We thank you for all your contributions, your efforts, your ways to make our days, and most important of all, for becoming a part of our ROOOOOARING family.

Ok, so what's next after ROD? It's applying all the hard and soft skills you've obtained throughout the years you've stuck on in NPCC. Determination, perserverance, humble, leadership, teamwork, flexibility, decision-making, withstanding pressure, and even the minor unseemly important ability to stay up till wee hours (remember what time you slept at Camp Leo 05?). We are sure that with all the skills you're equipped with, you guys will be able to shine.

Don't feel shy about coming back to look-look see-see during our Muster Parades... Once a LEO, forever a LEO. We might be changing our Parades to another day of the week, so look out for the updates.

Take good care, and all the best to your results and future endeavours!

Love.
