wow look at the time. first time coming home so early on a friday afternoon since like... eternity ago. ncc day in the morning. woke up at 5 plus to go to school. thats why the whole day im feeling super sleepy. anyway i think overall banging still quite ok. especially the Part Ds, after so long without drilling. haha (although we didnt do sizing) and at least nobody reported sick during the parade. and our
dear uncle jeffrey is LAME. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NCC?? wth is that.
btw this whole entry is gonna be about my life in ncc. so if you think you will get bored.
scram.
this is gonna be my second last time wearing my 'armour' ( no. 4 with the full set of badges) . next time im wearing it will be during our ORD. yesterday night spent quite some time preparing my uniform. ironing/putting on all the badges/but too tired to polish my boots. haha.
maybe some people feel we are lame. put so many badges for what. but each and every one of them. is a hard.earned.badge. and each and every one of the badges brings back
memories.
left side from bottom to top:
basic 4: PartC cadet proficiency, orienteering, napfa gold, swimming
next 3: adventure, mountain climbing, NDP 40th anniversary badge (limited)
Army ncc badge AKA
the biscuit : obtained after completion of spec course
Total Defence Gold: bronze in sec 1 (first ever badge obtained) , silver in sec 2 and finally gold nearing to sec 4.
right side from bottom to top:
4 course badges: Outward bound singapore, SANA course, Civil Defence, Energy Conservation(lame)
NYAA bronze : err this one put for fun only. lol

shiny badge.)
white lanyard: represents pds. put to act sei only. haha
presenting to you. my
full set armour.
i changed 3 pairs of boots in my entire 4 years in ncc. hahaha. 1st pair: given to us during sec1 by the ncc HQ. the size was WAY too big. but i don't know why i was so dumb and didn't go change. wore it until end of sec2. polished it everyday for at least 1 hour. made sure i can see the reflection of my
teeth. 2nd pair: given to me by my senior guirong ( he is a super nice guy). his one was the old fashion kind. but i felt it was more comfortable. and most importantly the size is just right! 3rd and final pair: found it in the lockroom and changed it myself after we took over. the old one was getting abit too small and squeezy for my feet. polished also. but not as meng as the previous 2.
presenting to you.
story of my boots
