EAGLE 2009 - BEST PATROL

2010-06-03T23:22:00.003+08:00

So it wasn't the last time i was going to post on this blog. This time, it is to all those in Eagle 2009 who have helped us achieve this award. I really think it's not the effort of me alone that we can hold this award this year. First, Munglin has been always supporting and Brandon also providing the fun and stuff that we need to push through hard times. The backbone of the patrol, the secondary 2s are also always there to help, to provide whatever we need. The sec ones had been the ones who did not know anything about 01 and everything scouting at first, but in the end they are seniors and people who can impart skills to others.

So, here's the present (:

I think you guys would have known the results of AC 2010 by the time you read this but never forget Eagle 2009, we owned (:

If you guys really want the soft copy of the patrol log, please tell me, i can't really upload the files.

2009-12-30T10:09:00.000+08:00

Hi all, this will most probably be the last post of 2009. The year has ended and hopefully you guys felt that it was a good year. We have achieved commendable results, getting second at ac, etc etc. Also, I would like to congratulate the people in our patrol who are postholders next year.

SUQM: Jiale
Sec 2 test coordinator: Nigel
vice chairman of dunno what commitee: Qiehua
patrol leader kf: jin kiat
patrol leader eagle: Eugene
venture programs sec: minglun
venture vice chair: ruiliang

For those who were not at group celebs, I wish you all the best and to all postholders, good luck and have fun.

Bye,
eagle patrol leader 09 ruiliang :)

Plogs

2009-06-12T16:30:00.002+08:00

Hi eagle. It's been one week since AC. Hope those sunburns are coming off now =)

But now, we have to do patrol logs. For the sec 1s who don't know (and for GABRIEL KOK who conveniently didn't submit his plogs last year), patrol logs are log that are used to record activities that happened in the scouting year. You may have seen the whole volumes of patrol logs in the den before the renovation, and that is supposed to be the outcome of a compilation of all these small logs. So to create these logs, everyone has to write a bit for the patrol.

Ok i'll start off the list with something for everyone to do.

Rui Liang- AC Day 3, 3/6 (1500 words), SUTC Prep, (1500 words)
Ming Lun- SUTC (SS), 16-18/3 (3500 words)
Brandon- QM Session, 28/1 (750 words), Job Week, 14-15/3 (1500 words)
Jin Kiat- Batch Project Planning, 12/1 (1000 words), World Scout Badge Teaching (500 words)
Eugene- SUTC (Trainees), 16-18/3 (2000 words)
Gabriel- AC Day 1, 1/6 (1500 words)
Nigel- Mini-olympics, 16/5 (1000 words)
Jiale- AC Day 2, 2/6 (1000 words)
Qiehua- Jobweek, 14-15/3 (1000 words)

If you find that the word count is not enough, start writing cock stuff. Look at how much sec 3s are writing and spamming o.O

I'll try to assign the next round of plogs asap so you can start working, and the articles won't have so many words.

Please try to finish them by 15/6 and send them to my email. If you forgot stuff, ask around. And don't post the logs on the blog for other patrols ahemKESTRELHAWKahem to kope.

If you don't know what should be written in a plog, i'll post an article (IN DRAFT) to show you how plogs are like.

Thanks eagle!

Some AC pictures

Patrol Logs

2009-06-08T18:00:00.002+08:00

Hi guys, dont worry the pictures will be up soon.

Btw, we are supposed to do patrol logs. Patrol logs if you don't know are "logs" where you record what you did in an act. The tone is normally light hearted and "chill" as you convey your thoughts.

Thus, Munglin and I would be giving out some activities to you guys to do your logs. The average length is about 1ooo words for each act. Anyway, I would like 2 sec one to go with us for the campfire on Friday! It would be fun!

*I hope all the sec ones would go! Please contact me if you want to go. All SUC members are also strongly encouraged to go.

2nd!

2009-06-06T09:10:00.002+08:00

Hi guys! AC is over and this five days have been very fun and I hope meaningful. Anyway, EAGLE got 2ND! I think it is a very good result considering we lost to Falcon only by 0.2 points!

Anyway, stay tuned! Pictures and gossips and quotes of AC will be up soon!

AC!

2009-05-31T13:53:00.003+08:00

Hey! Tomorrow is AC!

So, other than the packlist which Munglin posted (with some spelling errors), PLEASE BRING YOUR THERMOMETER. This is of utmost importance, please PACK IT IN if you see it now.

Rest well. =)

Oh yes, the subsidies for the Scout Uniform is due tomorrow. Please refer to your email for more instructions. It is titled "Uniform Subsidy [1 Attachment]‏" by Jeremy. If you don't bring it, you get nothing. This concerns the sec 2s and 3s.

Hi guys, AC is coming up!

I hope what happened today did not dampen your spirits. I feel that you can definitely do better =)

Btw, if we prepare hard now, at AC, it would be easy for us. I hope you guys know what we are doing as being part of Eagle means that you should know what we are doing too.

Rest well =)

*SUC members- please bring along your scout uniform and report at 4.

*Sec 2s and 3s- Report for Open House Prep at 1.30 p.m on Friday

AC prep 2

2009-05-12T20:07:00.002+08:00

Hi guys, yeah I would be late for tmr's act for a little bit.

Btw, AC is coming up! Trust me, you will love AC. It's a time of the year in the midst of some damn long holiday that makes you want to go back to school and it is damn fun! But, in the midst of planning and stuff, please try not to post up too much of our designs or our cooking stuff here. This blog is public, meaning others can come and just kop our design.

I am sorry, but I have to take down those posts for now, but if you are a member, you still can access it by the drafts. Fair? =)

Oh yes, tmr is not the neighbourhood run, it is AC prep. I promise you guys it would be more meaningful. Yes, let's work hard for our test AND AC =)

13/5 act!

2009-05-09T16:22:00.004+08:00

Hi eagle. Just in case you didn't know, there is no act on Monday but act on Wednesday.

So act on Wednesday should be from 3:30 to 6:30 or a bit later. It would be AC prep again.

EDIT: Act is Neighbourhood Run. Although i'm not sure what it is... but it should be fun.
(Hmm what does "fun" mean?)

And if you want to buy the group shirt bring $8 after act. It's up to you if you want to buy it, but it's encouraged.

And Rui Liang has RLP (group 1) briefing so he would probably be late. So tell just tell me if you're late or something.

Gabriel for the table can you make it such that all sides have a seat? Then one side can be joined to the cooking thing or something. I dunno if it works but it seems okay.

And AC has been moved to school "because of swine flu". Trust me its a much better place. It happened in 2007 also, which was much more fun that last year's.

And btw tuesday's assembly is house meeting. I saw the schedule.

Now sec 3 life has a LOT of work. Be thankful that you're still sec 1/2 and enjoy your lives. Because its much more fun. Trust me.

AC prep

2009-05-07T20:38:00.001+08:00

hey anyone got an idea for how to design the table and chair for AC? Can tag or post pls.

Patrol fun?

2009-05-05T15:02:00.001+08:00

Hey guys, sorry for that boring Patrol Fun.

It was needed because some patrols like Kestrel have their PL plan everything for them. I feel that if you guys were involved in the planning it would be much more enriching. So, no pain no gain, I hope that if we put in effort, we can do well for AC and bond as a patrol too. =)

Also, PLEASE FREE UP your Saturdays (this and next) because there might be act.

Thanks =)

**Munglin and I are in RLP! Whoo!

hi eagle!

2009-05-03T20:18:00.000+08:00

HEY EAGLE! I haven't posted for quite a long time. Hope you rested! I couldn't rest last wed because i had match support... sit and watch swimming. =(

AC is in 1 month. Not a lot of time to prepare... so tmr is the first prep. We're brainstorming. Please come down! We need to spam ideas.

Oh and eagle has been owning for gateway for the last 4/5 years. Always getting first for gateway! And me and rl are currently coming up with some insane ideas... =X

let's go eagle! we can OWN ac!

this post is too cliche

Activity

2009-05-03T13:50:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, there is act tmr.

Time: 3.30pm
Place: Gym Hall Atrium

As we celebrate our success at the campfire, we are gonna prepare for AC! We will strive to win =)

No act!

2009-04-28T22:15:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, there is NO act tmr.

It's for you to REST! XD So, take a break or something.

But, if you want to stay.... We can always play something like soccer!

Campfire

2009-04-28T20:29:00.001+08:00

During the campfire, these are some things you might want to know.
-John was sleeping in the Falcon A-hut. According to Brandon, doing a good job of a guard by scaring away people who came in. I found that funny
-I forgot my lines during my (solo singing) perfomance........Partly due to stage fright and those people running about for no reason.
-Bread was used to clean the table that we used for breakfast. Gabriel was unhappy.
-The lock number for the ice machine is 114.
-Why do girls like animals?

Moving on...

2009-04-26T20:31:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, thanks all for putting up a good show! For the great attendance of eagle, I think I should thank you all. It's the hard work that is put in by everyone, from the performance of the Sec 1/2s to the tying of knots at souvenir to painting banners, that made the campfire a huge success.

Now, after the campfire, another big event would be arriving soon.

Well, I think everyone knows what it is. ANNUAL CAMP!! =) So, if you suck at square leash, please remember to practice. If you have any idea of what we should cook, then tell me. If you have jokes, keep it till then. It's a patrol thing, so let's strive to win =)

Campfire!

2009-04-23T22:11:00.000+08:00

Ok, sad life. If you are reading this on Friday night, Munglin and I would most probably be sleeping in Sarimbun. It's nothing bad, instead its a good place (you can ask gabriel, who went for NPC with us =). But, we are hoping that you would bring the following stuff:

-CONSENT FORM
-GROUNDSHEET AND PONCHO
-UMBRELLA!!! (munglin sing now~)

Meet at Choa Chu Kang MRT at 7.30am on Saturday morning. (may change - refer to your email)

Also, on Friday, there are rehearsals from 1.30 onwards. Please don't PON.

Please put on your best performance on the day itself - its the 75th anniversary!

FUNNY STUFF
- Ok, background info - we(ventures + PLS +APLS) went to sarimbun today for the unloading of some spars for the gateway itself. And, these were some jokes that I found funny.

First, Kenneth (OUR CCAL!) kept on having to re-tie his square leashes because no matter what his square leashes were always out of the way - DAMN JACK (ok, not that JACK)

Then, Zhongjun, Kenneth and Francis shared some stupid jokes. (warning : stupid and lame content- but cant match up with brandon's)

What is a deer with no eyes?
No eye-deer (idea) HAHAHAHA

What is a dead deer with no eyes?
STILL no eye-deer. HAHAHAHAHA

What is a fish with no eye?
FSH! HAHAHAHAHA

What is a bankrupt goldfish?
FISH! HAHAHAHAHAHA

What is a bankrupt goldfish with no eyes?
FSH! AGAIN!

Why was the maths worksheet emo?
Because it had a lot of problems! HAHAHAHAHA

OMG. foam. this is soooo lame.

Ok, here comes the DA BOMB funny thing.

MUNGLIN TO BOON KING (on the bus, at the back seat, no eye-deer of what they were doing but maybe the statement can give some clues): "Can you stop touching my pants?" Oh deer, I dont know what happened to our APL!

life of foam

2009-04-22T21:37:00.001+08:00

Hello eagle. When you read this, me and rui liang will probably be foaming. Considering a damn imba schedule. I think we have to lug a damn big bag to school at friday 6am and after that finish all the stuff at sunday 1pm. Then after that we need time to replenish our sleep. By the way this is longer than SUTC. And sleep at like 11pm.

So be happy you're not foaming as much as us thanks

Story of X!

2009-04-18T15:22:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, today I bring to you...

The story of X(adam)!

Ok, so X! (adam) and Y whom I shall not name were already discussing about ponning today's act for ORA. So, X! (adam), being damn smart was caught by Yenter first during ORA, but suddenly yenter heard girls selling yogurt so X! (adam) escaped. Then, he met Hao Qin, who asked him to go to his committee, but instead of going to his committee, he decided to get his water bottle, then chiong home. However, he saw Chu Yong instead who apparently "made him feel bad".

So, moral of the story, please do not be such a loser like X! and come for acts.

AND BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MUNGLIN!!!

Campfire Prep 15/4

2009-04-15T20:07:00.000+08:00

Hey guys, there is activity on Sat (OH HOW ENTHU) for some chionging for campfire stuff.

It is 8am to 1pm and please bring along your consent form (or you foam).

Also, during the eagle call today, Gabriel defied us, so he owes 50. Then he locked Boon King in the den and made his bag red, that would be a hundred.

Extra stuff!
- Chinna owes 300 for spilling silver paint on the ground.
- Gabriel proposed that we ask a Delifrance truck to follow us while we are hiking for more bread.
- Gabriel owes 150 now. (still not up to the 300 mark)
- Those who wanna learn funk please call yenter
- Those who have rags please donate to Haoqin
- Those who have containers give to Jack

Bye.

Campfire!

2009-04-14T20:04:00.000+08:00

Yes, this is late, but still better than never.

Ok, Monday saw one of the rare "ALL HERE!" in Eagle where there was no "except" (just means everyone was here!). However, we got suanned for Chu Yong, who commented that it was our first time. It is not our first time (however, the first time we had all here was before the sec ones came in). So, please guys, COME FOR ACT!

Additional stuff:
- Those who wanna learn funk please call yenter. It is most likely thursday or friday. For more information, please ask Yenter (he has been pestering me for this).

- There is act as usual tomorrow.

- Jack, the VUQM, is requesting for plastic containers. For more information, look up your email.

Campfire Updates!
- IT is coming! Campfire is within 2 weeks time!
- I wonder why the souvenir smells, try SMELLING its contents!
- Minglun wonders why the banners smells of Mcflurry
- I wonder why I saw Edmund taking a bus home when there was banner comm meeting today (he is in banner comm) and he said he "escaped" thrice from Munglin (hmmm)

Activity (8/4)

2009-04-07T20:35:00.001+08:00

Hi guys =)

We are left with about two more weeks to the CF! So, how has it been? Anyway, please pen down some reflections for your committee and maybe we could have a small sharing session. Also, it is good stuff for our patrol logs!

Here, I would like to talk about square lashes. I found out that actually the sec ones have learned it and one sec one who can do it very well (along with tripod) is Nigel! =) Yeah, his knots are superb for a sec one, although he (along with everyone) may need some revision when we reach AC (june). It is not too early to talk about Annual Camp (since it is only about 2 months from now) and if you think you are weak in your knots, you can look me up or Minglun or you can ask your batchmate if you are shy.

Tomorrow is activity as usual. But, if you are going to be late/ not coming (due to valid reasons), please call me/ sms me. It isn't much, but if we count you as late, the PLs and APLs will pump quite a lot more. Also, our attendance has been rather weak, with 2 people always not coming. I hope by next time, I can shout "all here!" without the long list of "excepts" behind.

Other than that, enjoy this period of the year =)

campfires!

2009-04-04T10:03:00.000+08:00

Hi eagle. We should go for a patrol campfire sometime then we can have a patrol outing in the afternoon before that. Because campfires are fun =). It's not so much about the people who are at the campfire, but more of the people from your scout group who you can lala with. And of course, bombing the other scout groups. Or eating the bomb. Ask those people who went for the cresent girls cf last night!

And another thing, we would have to have a minimum attendance of 15 for 8 campfires to get the full score for Frank Cooper Sands. So if the whole eagle joins (which would be a minimum of 8 people at least), then we would already have filled up half of the attendance. So we should choose a campfire and get the whole eagle to sign up!

Muster parade 1/4/09

2009-03-31T20:16:00.000+08:00

Hi guys,

there IS muster parade tomorrow. Bring your full scout uniform including beret. I would be there late, since I have RE. Munglin will take charge and rmb to tell him if you are going late/ sick. Also, the horseshoe standards must be raised/be maintained from the SUTC standard or you will all pump with the PLs and APLs =). So, don't talk and if you see ppl from other patrols or our own patrol talking or fidgeting, please remind them to keep still and not talk. And the j1s have prohibited the usage of phones during act, so be prepared.

Rgds,
Ruiliang

Blog is dead?

2009-03-30T21:06:00.001+08:00

Hey guys, yeah the blog is getting dead. Why?

Well, we are being separated into our small committees and there would be less patrol time now. So, instead of making comments like.. This blog is dead... No one comes here anymore... Please update...

Why don't you post? If you have any funny stuff you wanna post, post it!

If you are from eagle and you want to post but you are not a member yet, please tell me =)

Campfire Prep

2009-03-24T18:55:00.001+08:00

Hi eagle! Tomorrow there will be 1st campfire prep from 3.30 to 6.30 (probably). And SS get ready to smell the grass again.

If you still don't know, 01 campfire is an annual event for 01 to showcase performances to other scout groups. It is basically a gangshow we put up with various performances, like funk and other gl stuff. It is quite fun, so prepare for it. So come tomorrow!

However, this year, it is gonna be different! It's the 75th anniversary of 01! So, it would be held in Sarimbun and would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For this kind of damn huge campfire, we of course will need your help, so tmr will be the first campfire prep!

Patrol fun!

2009-03-23T20:22:00.000+08:00

Hi guys,

How was patrol fun? Was it fun? Did you like the jokes section more or the soccer part? Please give some suggestions! =)

***NO racism is to be tolerated on the BLOG, even in tagboard and the blog itself, or ELSE you could be sued. Thanks =)

Act on Monday!

2009-03-22T10:30:00.000+08:00

Hello eagle. There is act on monday (which is tomorrow) from 3.30 pm to 5.30 pm. But there will probably be some horseshoes called after act or something which ok which may cause aspillover of around 10 minutes. But anyway the act is probably patrol fun or something and come in pe. And SS we know what we have to do. It's in the range of 120-150, depending on our cheebohs. Thanks!

Jobweek funtimes/Cheeboh jokes!

Below is a nice conversation between Ruiliang and Yiming

OMG!

SUTC in my point of view :)

2009-03-21T15:23:00.000+08:00

Um, i found SUTC quite tiring but I'm quite proud of myself that I made it through because I've never really done anything like that in my whole life. Yay! Zhang Ren, John and I made it through the VOJ(Venture Obstacle Journey) with the most points even though we only had 3 people in the patrol(only 1 sec2!!!!). So basically for the whole camp Zhang Ren was doing most of the stuff since John and I were like blur and um...not knowing what to do. But next year is my turn to be Zhang Ren. YAY!
Though Scouts took up 5 DAYS of my hols and thats a lot considering the fact that the hols are only like 9 days long. Well um if anyone doesn't know, we're from 01 scouts. (I read the older posts and none of them actually said that we're 01.............)
This post is a bit random cos' I don't really have anything to say lah since I'm a sec1 who doesn't know what's going on......If anyone here doesn't have camp times with him while reading this blog I feel sad cos' you probably don't know what's going on. (so many people don't know what's going on)
Special thanks to munglin who specifically said good stuff about the sec1s about night orienteering and rl too if he helped. But thanks for making scouts so fun for me:):):)

EAGLE EXTRA PART 2!!!

2009-03-20T08:09:00.000+08:00

HELLO EAGLE!!!!

This is issue 2 of camptimes with all the gossips that you missed out on. If more people want it, maybe your PL and APL will post another part! But right now, the SS are screwed. Looking at my email, yi ming decided to sabotage the SS count. yanwei wanted to pump us 120, but yi ming said 200-60 = 140 SO NOW WE HAVE TO PUMP 20 MORE ON MONDAY!!! Thanks ym!

Hope you guys are resting well. Unlike some other sec 3s, your apl and pl don't need to go for chief commissioner's hike which happens TODAY AND TOMORROW! So we can spend time spamming the blog =)

Here are the gossips.

"Keep the freaking flies off my foaming food." Nay Myo on alliteration
The SS spent 50 minutes building bashars because Raga was possessed by an indian spirit and we were laughing at an SS.
I got pumped 10 by Chuyong because I didn't laugh at his joke.
A certain beachball hunk SS didn't want to clean a dirty pot.
Yenter has more than 50 centerfolds.
The editors pumped 50 because of the use of vulgarities and the word "****".
If you look carefully, "my sister's hot friend" is on the coverpage of camptimes 3. (does this tell you anything about bypassing the school's security? hmm....)
The SS had no dinner on night 1.
I tried to eat around 10 pieces of bread on morning 2. But I couldn't parallel Gabriel's record.
While the trainees were Running for 01, Rui Liang was Drinking for 01.
The J1s sent a fake version of the SUTC proposal to the SS.
Rui Liang was doing sentry and was tired (it was 3 in the morning). So he called Munglin up. Then Munglin sat for a while on the bench. One of the red cross indians was calling for help, and Rui Liang started laughing and woke up. So Munglin and Rui Liang did sentry together. We were talking about how easy red cross night call was and we were laughing our ass off at them.

Less than a minute later, Trachsel, in his scout uniform walked to the campsite with the editors...
After the VOJ debrief, Rui Liang told the trainees, "Now, we'll pass you back to your best friends." Then, the J1s walked to the canteen, all in scout uniform.

Ming E was on msn on day 1. The SS were looking through his contact list, and came across the phrase "lucky i'm in love with my best friend."
Why does YimingE look similar?
On night 2, one bashar contained YimingE and Brandon.

ANSWERS FOR KNOW-YOUR-SS 2!

1. Yen Ter
2. Ming E
3. Lionel, a) Advent Children
4. Brandon
5. Ming Lun (colour blindness), Kai Jun (extra chromosome)
6. Sherman and Edmund
7. Higher than the ventures
8. Ming E
9. Yes
10. All of them
11. Jason
12. 2. The cheebohs
13.

^typical SS answer.

Watch out for more eagle extra! Laterzzz.

Ruiliang met the STLsafter playing soccer (so coincidental). Apparently they are always together and they said that he is not performing up to standards. Just note that THEY ARE ALWAYS TOGETHER. Like YimingE

post-SUTC

2009-03-19T15:11:00.000+08:00

Hello Eagle. Hope you're resting well now. I don't want to ask if you had fun during SUTC, because it was really hard. Even harder than last year. It reminds us about the time we were sec 1. For me, it was VERY difficult, but also at the same time VERY inspiring.

I hope it has been the same for you guys, especially reciting the scout hymn. I think that was one of the things that really make you a scout. Through all the pumping, I hope that activity really lets you know the meaning of being a scout. Not just know, but understand.

For sec 1s, this has been your first major camp in scouting. I hope that you have learnt a lot and really matured. It isn't the end of your maturity, but just the starting. I hope that after SUTC, you guys will look at scouts, and even life in a different manner. SUTC and the days after that are still very clear in my mind. We did a pushup tunnel with everyone running across the hall, formed different shapes in pushup position, and formed the shape 01. That was probably the most pressing moments of SUTC for me. I hope you had a similar experience. I also a lot of you rising to the wing and helping the people around you. That is quite good. If you were helping the sec 2s, that it would be really commendable. Some of you couldn't endure, but that is normal as sec 1s are not expected to do everything at this point. But don't take it for granted now, as you still have expectations to live up to in the later part of the year. We hope you guys will still be happy in 01, and you have a whole line of imba eagle people behind you who will be there for you if you need help.

So far, I think the eagle sec 1s have done quite well. Qie Hua, you have really stayed positive through the whole camp. Everyone sees you as really cute, and you can use that to your batch. I hope your batch apperciates the positiveness and morale you bring during the camp. I also heard you taking initiative during parts of the camp. Keep up the enthusiasm and morale! The SS also get pretty moralized when we see you.
Jia Le, I think you have potential in you, and you put in a lot of effort in things, which is quite good. I saw you sweating after orienteering, but you were still okay. You are quite shy though, and there are quite a lot of things on your mind that you want to get out. I hope you will speak up more though, and me and Rui Liang observe that you learn really well. You have a lot of potential brimming inside of you.
Nigel, you are a really mature person with a lot of good ideas inside of you. You had seemed to be quiet, but it was the activity in MacRitchie when your potential was actually released. I was really impressed with that and have high hopes for you to lead the batch. But don't just wait until times in need when you start unleashing your potential though. I have high hopes for you, so keep on aiming for the stars and you would really shine.

For sec 2s, you guys really have a lot to work on. It is quite saddening not to see you saying words like foam, as these are 01 terms. And it gives us the impression that you guys are not attached to 01 enough to use these words. Especially not knowing your batch song, which is a common song all of you can sing during PT. For the SS, we sing it all the time. Your batch isn't bonded together, and if you guys talked enough cock, you won't have one missing person and would be moralized by each other despite the difficulty you are in. Eugene, you have a lot of potential, but it isn't shown in the camp. I hope that you would work harder and show more potential. And try not to be too angsty, as it may sometimes affect the others without you knowing.
Gabriel, I am really disappointed in you. Many people have coined you as manly, but you haven't shown much. You could use your manliness to help your batch during PT, for example supporting them or taking their bags. But I hope that you would volunteer to be cheeboh next year, as it is quite fun.
There are other sec 2s that are not eagle who i have seen during the camp. Hai Xiao, your performance on day 2 night was really good in staying at the back and helping the sec 1s. It is really commendable, and hope you become more imba this year and come for more acts. Eashwar, you had led the patrol while being blindfolded, which was also quite good. But i encourage you to have more experiences in leading.

But at the end, all of you shown more urgency and batch spirit. Its okay if you come in failing, the most important thing is whether you improve. And you guys really did. So good job for surviving a tough SUTC.

Lol long serious message.
BUT NOW HERE COMES THE EAGLE EXTRA!!!
...or tomorrow. or later if rl and me finish it

SUTC reflections

2009-03-18T20:05:00.000+08:00

Hi! After seeing all the sec twos and ones chionging their guts out and foaming in SUTC, it's OVER!

After all the PT, changing parades, etc, maybe you guys should reflect on what went right and what went wrong. Why did you guys hold in push-up position (then to sit-up) at Macritchie? Did you help your friends when they could not take it? Did you ask for help if you needed it? Did you put in your best in whatever you guys did? If you did not put in your best effort, why?

Also, if you didn't go for the camp, please keep up with the standards. For example, the trainees learnt that they should have their sense of urgency whenever the dateline is given. So, if you didn't come for the camp, please raise your own standards.

SO, that being said, SUTC IS OVER =)

Now, flip to your camptimes three, the awards page. Can you see that Gabriel Kok got my award? Haha, actually I don't suan people that much, but oh well. And Gabriel's award is...

Bread for all meals in AC! =)

SUTC + Jobweek funtimes Part 2

2009-03-15T20:15:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, we celebrate the end of Job Week by.... welcoming SUTC!

How happy we are now! Ok, so as we get into the mood of SUTC, you may want to see if you have done all these.
- Packed your bags properly
- Know the inspection layout very very well
- Done up your patrol items
- Have all parts of your Scout Uniform (it's not too late to borrow!)
- Printed out your consent form
- Have most of the important stuff for SUTC (like for sec ones, it could be a groundsheet/mess tin)
- Know the Scout Hymn by heart (according to the email wenhao sent)
- Fortunately, if you haven't learnt it yet, its not too late. You can scroll down to see the previous post and have a good look at the Scout Hymn (Hopefully it's not too late)

More tips
- Remember to count how many whistles the J1s blown
- If there are lectures, do not talk unless absolutely necessary
- Remember how to do inspection - FAST
- During an inspection, when they ask you to pack up, pack up fast. Do not put in item by item or else you foam

Ok, for the tips, it's from what I learnt. If you do not want to learn, you can learn it the hard way from SUTC. =)

Now, for the fun part.
Today's interesting stuff (although it was less):
- Be wary when you reject Yiming's offers. When asking you for a job, he is always nice and cheerful. If you reject him, he will call you a :- Old Hag, nerd, faggot, fei diao guy, messed up girl, "Oh, look at me, I talked nicely and you rejected me you *****", dog and many more. So, beware when you meet Yiming.
- We saw two cases of yesterday's briefs cases. In one case, the towel that HE was secured by threatened to drop and we used our will to stop it from dropping. Thank god it didn't.
- We spammed the sweets in order to get sugar rush, but we got barkings from dogs instead.

Now.... For the best point and most important thing I learnt from Jobweek!
!!!Yiming is a paedophile. He hates it when I call him that. However, whenever he sees kids, he would ask them, "Hey, are your parents at home?" with the MJ voice. He seems like he is possessed whenever he says that and the kid would have the "Oh no! It's the paedo!" face. However, they met their saviour- me, who would always be there to stop Yiming.

!!!When Yiming saw some cub scouts at the playground, he stopped to take a "rest". He started singing Hi-5 after I sang Barney with a sarcastic tone, but his Hi-5 theme song was damn MJ. It freaked them out.

!!!He would always blame his paedophiliac actions by pushing the blame to his baby brother. Oh, we believe him. :o

Disclaimer: I risk my life by putting out this portion about Yiming and may be forced to take it down anytime with violence. So, save it in a Microsoft word or something and circulate it! :o

Jobweek day 1!

2009-03-14T20:47:00.000+08:00

Hi guys,
how was your job week experience?

Well, now I will share with you my Job Week experience. So, I went with Yiming and it was quite interesting.
First, we found an Indian couple having ___ at the staircase. They stared at us and we ran off. Ten stories down, we found a chinese couple doing the same thing. In both cases, the guy was at least half naked.
Yiming was cleaning a car for 10 dollars and then, I went to the two places next to him and got 10 each. He was like damn sad.
Yiming said he started AS a dog. He started barking after that.
Munglin's voice totally changed when I called him. He was like ... ... ...
We went to a HDB flat where there were spray paints on each level. Like some loanshark place.
We saw one freaking fat dude with only his briefs on. It was covered by his belly although I could see it was white.
*** Yiming doesnt want me to put the statement I want to say, but I can put it if everyone wants to read. (Hint: Its something about him and kids.)
Yiming kept saying that other people couldn't speak english properly, while one auntie commented on his chinese.
I read from VJ to Yiming's sms that he was earning less than a ____ worker.

So, do you have anything to share? Anything interesting? You can post it here to cheer for our patrol mates. =)

Jobweek + Tagboard

2009-03-13T20:52:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, jobweek is just tomorrow!

Hope you have geared yourself up to get some money for 01 and for eagle!
Please try your best and do not give up. Think of helping eagle when you feel like giving up, if eagle wins you win too! So, plan your route again, think of alternative routes and try your best!

Also, for the tagboard, PLEASE do not use other people's id or impersonate others. It would not benefit either parties and it is not funny. However, you are free to tag on the tagboard as yourself. TRY not to spam but you are allowed to chat or anything here. =)

GOOD LUCK FOR JOBWEEK!

Inspection

2009-03-11T21:33:00.000+08:00

Hi guys,
it appears that some sec ones still do not know the importance of inspection or what inspection is. When I asked someone in eagle, his reply was, "WAD IS THAT???????????????????????????????" So, inspection is something where the J1s want to check your stuff or for you guys to air your clothes. You must align according to the format which all the trainees would follow and thus, achieving a neat and tidy inspection which is standard across patrols and even the whole trainee batch. Failure to lay your stuff out properly or neatly or not standardized will result in the adding of your count.

Thus, it is very important to remember and memorize by heart the format or even try with some of your clothes at home. Also, you are to lay everything on a groundsheet and even the size is to be standardized (you can fold the corners or sth to ensure same size).

For sec ones and twos of eagle, you should have an email by Gabriel which contain the inspection layout (IMPT) and SUTC info which contains the contents of the post that Minglun posted (times to meet etc). Before the camp, you should have already remembered how to do inspection and gotten all your stuff ready. Sec ones, if you are lacking anything, remember to ask your sec twos for the place to buy your stuff or you can ask them about how SUTC is like, etc.

For sec threes, if you don't know inspection by now, please find either Minglun or me. If you are unsure about the layout, I have the file and I will send it to you. Please remember how to do too.

Some tips for SUTC

2009-03-10T18:38:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, as you know, SUTC is coming up. Tomorrow will be SUTC prep 2 and it would probably be the same time in PE attire. Do not be late since your count will rocket again.
Tips for SUTC

For sec twos, I would like you guys to teach the sec ones how to do inspection. You are the trainees and it would be too late to teach them during the camp itself and you all will learn the hard way. Please try your best to bring them down to the army market to get items like mess tin and groundsheet which the sec ones would not have. If you still can remember we immediately added 700 last year for 7 late and 7 no consent form. Inform your SUTC patrol to bring consent form and come early.

For sec ones, listen to your sec twos and work together. If you are feeling damn shag or something during the camp, try to talk to your patrol. Try to tell jokes or chat if you have free time to keep your morale high. If you are in push-up position and you are foaming, ask for help. Also, although you are to listen to your sec twos, you can take on a leadership position. If I am not wrong, you are supposed to change a PL everyday. Do volunteer to be a PL and lead cheers. Do not give up! =)

Do not be scared or anything. Go for the camp and you will feel yourself growing physically and mentally. Good Luck! =)

Let me be ready, waiting for each need
To keep me clean in thought and word and deed.

Job week

2009-03-05T16:45:00.000+08:00

Ok guys, now for a post of a lighter tone compared to the previous two.

On 14th and 15th March, we would have:
$$$$ JOB WEEK $$$$

Now, just in case you were not listening to Jeremy, Job week is an annual fund-raising project by the Singapore Scout Association to raise funds for both the SSA and your Scout Troop. During Job week, you would go around the island looking for jobs to do in return for a monetary reward. This cash would fund the HQ operation and 01 (yay!) =)

The objectives of Job week are actually to gain experience and life skills (for example, getting rejected by people, working hard, courtesy, etc). This life skills can last you for a life time =)

For this activity,
Attendance is compulsory! If you cannot attend, you should have spoken to Jeremy already, but an MC is needed if you are sick (works like an EOY, haha). On the 14th and 15th, report in full scout uniform excluding beret at 8am in the morning. You MUST report in school at 8 for attendance taking. Reporting back time would be 7pm, and if you are late please call the hotline (would be told at a later date) and inform the J1s. Dinner will be provided (Hell yeah!)

Please prepare yourselves and ask your seniors (sec 2s and 3s) and eat and rest well. You can try to climb stairs etc to build up your strength and energy that is needed for this big activity.
Things to bring for Job Week:
-Jobweek stickers and Job week cards(DO NOT EVER EVER LOSE THEM or SUTC would be fun)
-Poncho/ Umbrella in case of rain
-Street directory (don't get lost)
-Bus Guide
-Mobile phone with full battery (IMPT.)
-Stationery
-EZ-link card
-WATER BOTTLE (drink!)

Good jobweek locations would include:
HDB flats, Landed Property, offices, shophouses, Industrial Estate

-When approaching the public, BE CONFIDENT!
-Be courteous and polite
-Be prepared and professional
-Request (NOT DEMAND) for a job
-Suggest jobs you can do
-Always ask yourself a few questions :
-Who are you?
-Why are you here?
-What do they want?
-What can you do?
Building on this, make a script for yourself. This script should be memorized and practised.

DOS AND DONTS
DO
- Contact hotline if you are demoralized
- Contact hotline if you are unsure of where to go
- Contact hotline if you are out of cards, robbed or other emergencies
- Prepare a script (Introduction, explaining fund raising project, ask for job, reiterate aims of JW)
- Drink Plenty of water
- Sec ones should go in pairs
- Amount must be equal to/ more than the amount written on your card
- Ensure that the person signs next to the card
- Remember step 3.5!
DONT
- Lose JW card!!!
- Go into dark and shady alleys and shortcuts
- Accept change and request for money
- Accept food
- Accept drinks
- Count your money in the public
STRICTLY NO:
-DISRUPTING OF BUSINESS, PUBLIC WALKWAY, WET MARKET, PUBLIC TRANSPORT
More tips:
Be on your best behaviour
Smile and be polite
Keep your job week earning and target confidential!

Now, for batch targets!
Sec 1: X
Sec 2: X
Sec 3: X
Sec 4: X
Did I say batch targets were confidential?

Now, Eagle patrol members must send me their Job week routes by Friday. Sec ones to plan day 2 route only (I will teach sec ones during the meeting on Friday) . Friday: MEET AT THE DEN AFTER SCHOOL for patrol meeting (Attendance should be compulsory, unless you have valid reasons)
Now for the part about job week route which is in the email.

1) Job Week routes
Have you done them? If you haven't, you are left with 3 days. Even if you have, do not just stop at the route that you planned. Think about how your route can be improved by asking yourself a few questions:
Are you spending too much time on the public/private transport? Is there any way to cut short on traveling time (combing a wider area / finding areas with more HDB flats)?
Have you taken the most efficient mode of transport? Did you check if the bus might be faster than the train, or vice versa?
What are the chances that your spots may have been taken? (This applies to spots that you might be going in the late afternoon, evening of day 1, as well as the whole of day 2)
What is your forte? Are you better at HDB flats or landed property or industrial estates? Have you ensured you chose a spot that have places that you are good at doing Job Week in?
Have you consulted your seniors in deciding where you should go? Seniors normally know where the good spots are, and I'm sure they are more than willing to share them with you.
Remember, planning routes is very important because it gives you direction and motivation to finish what you planned to do as well. Use your planned route to spur you on and keep you going for the rest of the day.
*Disclaimer: This post belongs to Ruiliang and Eagle patrol's blog ONLY. You must ask me before you use. Thanks.

Continuation of Minglun's post

2009-03-05T16:22:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, this is a continuation of Munglin's post.
Ok, from start of the year till now, the discipline has been slack. As Secondary Threes, we would only assist you guys during SUTC and we will be your SS (Service Scouts). Although Eagle has been quite good from start of the year till now, SUTC is not only patrol-based. It is based on your batch, your patrol and 01. So, for eagle, Munglin and I would like you guys to stay back tomorrow.

Now for sec twos, I would like you guys to show more initiative and keep the discipline up. For example, talking during horseshoe is something not to be tolerated. If someone talks to you, dao them, it works. Also, please interact more with the sec ones and help them along. Monday is SUTC prep one and I would like you guys to prepare yourselves and the sec ones for it. For tomorrow, Gabriel would be the I/C, he would tell you what to prepare. Also, remember to brush up and your skills like first aid and Orienteering.

For the secondary ones, please do not talk during horseshoe. I apologize if I did not tell Qie Hua to bring his Scout uniform that day because I called the other sec ones and forgot about him. However, i would like you guys to check your emails regularly or this blog. That is because Munglin and I would always be posting here, even if it is something stupid like putting the emails here (I found the significance of this after QieHua told me he was not in the yahoo-group). Also, please listen to instructions. You all have been doing well and you should keep this up. During horseshoe, always keep quiet at all times. It is very hard to do this, but if you see others talking, tell them politely to keep quiet. For SUTC, please treat the sec two PLs with as much respect as you have towards teachers, your GC, your PL(me) and APL(Minglun). You have seen the standards for SUTC and you must understand the rationale behind this. Do not worry about what lies ahead because it is a road you all must take. Do not worry about doing push-ups because the sec threes were once like you guys and I can proudly say I have survived every camp in 01.

For all Eagle patrol members, please meet at the den after school tomorrow. I have something to tell you guys. Munglin will be contacting the secondary threes, Gabriel for Sec twos and I will be contacting the sec ones. If Ben Chew if reading this, please come. I need to speak to you about something. Also, send your Job Week routes to me and your contact details to Munglin.

For sec ones, please plan your day 2 only. For sec ones, please plan your day 2 only. For sec ones, please plan your day 2 only. For sec ones, please plan your day 2 only. For sec ones, please plan your day 2 only.I will teach you guys how to plan your route tomorrow.

Jobweek + SUTC

2009-03-04T22:21:00.000+08:00

Hi Eagle.

Sec 1s, as you should know, SUTC and Jobweek are coming up. These are very important events in the scouting calendar. Please make sure you are mentally prepared. There would be many unknown (for now) challenges that you would face, but trust me when I say that these two events would be very memorable for you. Be prepared, and you would come out a stronger person.

Sec 2s, you know what is going to happen. The power/responsibility of leadership now slowly shifts from sec 3s to you. You have to take charge on your own now. Me and Rui Liang would like to see more effort from some of you.

Sec 3s, or SS (Service Scouts), foaming already. And SS isn't a slack job. The 3 orienteering people have to plan 48 checkpoints, so please cooperate with our plans.

I'm sorry if we have to sound a bit more harsh, but this is the time to get serious. Sec 2s count yourself lucky as you didn't just come back from 5day MM.

And there would possibly be a patrol meeting on Friday. Everyone should come, as we need to talk to you guys.

Reminder, send me the group update form, and send Rui Liang the jobweek routes.

Campfires

2009-03-03T19:49:00.000+08:00

Hi all, just to note, there are currently four ongoing campfires:

St. Margaret's (28th March)
Crescent Girls (3rd April)
St. Andrews (4th April)
Maris Stella (4th April)

Ok, for sec twos i let you all decide which one you want to go yourselves. However, this is a suggestion from me, since sec ones would be quite shy when going to campfires, I SUGGEST:

Patrol-Campfire
-Strongly encouraged to go, but not compulsory
-Cresent GIRLS campfire
-PL and APL will definitely be going

Ok, more details will be given when we are reaching the date. I seriously hope the sec ones and twos will go for the campfire since we are going as a patrol =)

Muster parade + Job Week + Overnight thing

2009-03-03T18:43:00.000+08:00

Yo guys, this wont be an email post again.
Ok, tomorrow there will be muster parade. Sec 2s and 3s you know what to bring so bring it. FOR THE SECONDARY ONES, you have to wear the SCOUT UNIFORM too. Yeah, sad news, but you have to wear it no matter what.

Second thing, for the contact details thing, please send it to Minglun ASAP. Anyway, Wayne just sent out an email about the amendment to the form you are supposed to fill in. So, download the latest thing, adhere to the dateline. I would like it to be handed in to Minglun one day earlier.
****Qie Hua, have you handed it in to Wayne? If you have not please bring tmr.

Third, secondary two and threes, please do up your job week routes and send it to me. Latest by 7th March 2009 6pm. Again, send to me by 6th March.

Lastly, I would like to commend everyone for the good work during Overnight. Sec ones, I hope you had fun and learnt skills like pitching tents, etc. For the sec twos, I think the camp was more or less like a revision for you guys. I hope you guys will take charge when Minglun and I are not around cos SUTC is coming and you will be leading your patrol. For the sec threes, I think although we foamed at the cooking race, our overall standard was there and was not like some foam. However, I hope someone would turn up next time so our patrol would have full strength. =)

Now, start planning for your Job week routes and help Eagle earn some points and help the group earn some money! Thanks everyone =)

-Ruiliang

Group Update Form

2009-03-02T21:22:00.000+08:00

Sec 2s and Sec 3s, please send the group update form to me instead of ruiliang. Because I slacked too much. So I should do more stuff. So just send me everything by email as fast as possible.

next act

2009-03-01T16:50:00.000+08:00

Good job eagle for overnight! Now to rest well and study.

Here is Jeremy Tan's email.

===========================

Hey all! Hope you guys are resting well after Overnight!

The next activity will be JOB WEEK briefing!

The details are as follows:
Date: Wednesday, 4th March 2009
Time: 3.30pm to 6.30pm
Reporting Venue: Raffles Square in full scout uniform (for Muster Parade)
Things to bring: Writing materials, PE kit

Job Week will be coming soon on 14th March and 15th March, so do prepare yourselves well for this event!
Seeing that there's just so much to do to prepare yourselves, you should start preparing now!

The first of the many preparations would be:
Plan your Job Week routes!
I would like to see a detailed plan of your Job Week routes, which should include the following:
1) The areas which you want to do for Job Week
2) How you would want to go there
3) What exactly do you want to do
4) Contingency plans

In case you don't quite understand how it works, here's an example:
eg.
Day 1
1) From Raffles Institution to Ang Mo Kio Ave 99
Take bus 000, alight at bus-stop in front of block 888
Comb blk 777 to blk 666

if blocks are taken, take bus 111 to Ang Mo Kio Ave 555
Comb blk 444, 424, 404, 383, 363, 343, 323

2) From Ang Mo Kio Ave 99 to Toa Payoh St 44
(and it continues)

-----------

When planning your Job Week routes, do be realistic with what you can do. Set yourself high, yet reachable targets.
I would like the PLs to collate his patrol's responses (Venture Chairman to collate Venture responses as well) and send them to me by 7th March 2009 6pm.
For secondary 1s, you need not hand in your Job Week routes yet. However, do think hard about roughly where you would want to go. You will be given more advice on Wednesday.

Everyone, do look out for more Job Week emails to come!

Thank you.

Regards,
Jeremy Tan

"This Wednesday will be an activity for setting our goals and expectations for the year... As well as the allocation of Sec 1s to the various patrols. PLs, please call up your Sec 3 and Sec 2 members. Sec 1s have already been informed by us so you need not worry about them just yet.
