Remembrance Sunday

2008-11-10T12:51:00.015+08:00

Remembrance Sunday.

It's the zone 3's turn to represent the St John Ambulance Singapore to attend the event. It's an event to remember to all those who had died in the World Wars, especially during the Second World War.

Reporting time was 0615 hours, a awefully early timing, for all of us, but despite the rain, we proceed along to our first destination, Kranji War Memorial Park.

It's a solemn ceremony. Representatives from all Commonwealth, as well as a detachment from the British Navy was there as well. We all stood in the rain, as we listened to the speeches, the songs, the salutes and the 2 minutes silence.

After the event, we proceed to the Civilian War Memorial Park at City Hall, for another ceremony.

The SJAB contingent

Chatting before the start of the event.

SJAB officers with the SAF Veterans League members.

NCC band.

The Uniformed Groups contingents at the War Memorial Park.

And the memorial service started.

Laying of wreath

Sounding of the last post.

One minute silence.

And group photographs

And it's over.

To those who had made the ultimate sacrifice to Singapore during the World Wars, We will always remember and respect you.

May you all rest in peace.

And may there be world peace.

NCOC Camp Pictures Part IV (Field Cooking)

2007-11-15T17:30:00.000+08:00

Once you see this, you will know that everyone's getting hungry, and everyone's not getting enough food...

Ahhh... yes... the most exciting parting of the whole "makan" session in the camp... The Field Cooking!!

Highlight of the day... Scrambled eggs cooked in errr.... onion?!?!?!

A generous trainee giving away food...

And giving away more food...

And yet more food...

And yet more food.....

Phew... no wonder the rest are all hungry...

And when the rest are hungry, the officers cook something for them... Here's our chef, cooking boiled eggs...

Here's a trainee looking so happy, just because he got one of the highly prized boiled egg!!

The highlight of the day is when our famous reowned master chef, Mr CK, started cooking, and let the trainees have a taste of his masterpiece, field cooked rice,

And the reaction of the first person to sample his masterpiece gave this reaction...
"Simply too good for words!!!"

And everyone wanted a taste of CK's rice...

I guess, CK's now famous for his rice liao huh??

And after the fun, it's the clearing up.

so next time, if you are feeling bored and hungry, you can try field cooking (at home). Just don't burn the house down.

:P

Zone 3 City Quest 2007.

This idea was evolved eariler in this year from a couple of zone 3 officers, Eileen Goh and Qizhi over a duty at a historical site.

The preparation works in process...

Guess who wrapped the hampers (badly).

Come Saturday. Early Sat morning...

Opps!!! Someone's not looking at the camera

Someone's too...

Someone three...

Okie, okie, i specialise in taking candid shots...

After a short welcome speech by our Zone Commissiomer, the horn was sound to signal the start of the race.

First task was the "most difficult" of all....

Yes... Eating Bananas.

Hey!!! where's my banana???? I want my banana!!!!

You may think : "wah... eat Bananas only mah, where got difficult??" but looking at this fellow's face, it's not simple at all!!!
You can have your banana and eat it too!!!

And the race started.

Some teams took their items and rushed off immediate, while other teams sit down, and start planning... Planning their strategy. Working out the best route.

And some umpires got too engrossed in planning their strategies till this happens...

while others, desperate for answers called others up for information.

And once all the planning are done, it's time for action!!
Opps... the lift is not big enough!!!

Here's the scene during the Quest...

Looking at the members happily posting for photos, Derek and me decided to do the same...

In the end, we trooped over to the "central" check point and wait for the teams to arrive.

Over at the bridge where we were, they were supposed to tied up their shoe laces to their neighbour and walk across the bridge, singing, "London Bridge is falling down".

In the end, Derek and me came to a conclusion.

Untying shoe laces took a lot more time than tying shoe laces... much much more time... What happened to the reef knot that they know??

Hmmm... so, undoing something is much more difficult that doing something...

So, think before you do anything. (WOW!!!! WOW = Words Of Wisdom)

Finally, its time to go back to 199582!!!

for some Ice-cream!!!

And play with the dry ice....

And Finally, the speech

And the prize presentation.

1) The umpires

2) the consolation prizes

3) The third prize!!!
Team from Anderson Secondary!!!

4) The SECOND prize!!!
Hwee Peng's team from First Toa Payoh Sec!!

5) FIRST PRIZE GOES TO SJI!!!

For the photo frame contest, the cutest photo frame goes to the....

while the best photo frame goes to....

It's indeed a happy Saturday, and everyone went back with something.

Changes to this blog

2007-09-06T12:32:00.001+08:00

Dear all:

After some thinkings and some discussions with some people sometime back, we had decided to change this blog.

This will no longer be the SJAB Zone 3 NCOC blog.

This will become the SJAB Zone 3 Blog.

This is done to cater all the events, duties, celebrations, outings, courses, examinations etc etc, whom the schools or the members wish to share with all the others in the zone, to provide an "alternative" and fun way to share news, gossips, pictures as well as a publicity for our zone.

This is also to allow our ex-members to update themselve with the activities from Zone 3.

As such, the blog address has been changed to http://sjabzone3.blogspot.com/

However, this blog is still moderated by some officers to see that deframetory remarks are not posted.

If you are interest to post something on this blog, please sent in your contents and your pictures / video, to me, simonow@hotmail.com and i will post your articles shortly.

Thank you
Simon Ow

The Backstage, the organising process I

2007-08-30T10:28:00.000+08:00

If you think organising a NCOC is easy, think again.

If you cannot think, go and ask Sars and VKP.

We had our "first" meeting on Tue. To finalise stuffs. But to be more precise, some officers already had numerous meeting on the sideline before it.

Hmmm... guess who did the most talking during that meeting? It's none other than VKP!!

(applause, applause)

And guess what's the time when the meeting ended?

The committee is doing all we can to make this NCOC an extraordinary and interesting learning course to allow our members to become a better leader for tomorrow, not to forget the fun in the learning process.

And we hope that the members will learn a great deal to apply in SJAB and everyday lives.

BE PREPARED FOR SOMETHING NEW FOR THIS NCOC!!!

You had been warned...

(Grinning away)

Welcome!

2007-08-29T13:25:00.000+08:00

Welcome to this blog to all members, officers and members of the public.

This is the official recreational site for NCOC 2007.

The aim of this site is to provide information, news, snippets as well as to showcase the hard work put in by the organising / working committees to make the event a successful one. Also not to forget it's also an avenue for jokes/humour/feedback/thoughts/gossips that always happen throughout the course.

Hopefully, this blog can always be active throughout the years so that years down the road, the officers, members, seniors and juniors can always keep in touch with one another and organise outings through this blog.

And if the response is good enough, we can even set up a offical alumni clubfor Zone 3!

Trainees to be, stay tuned for updates every now and then.
