3rd November 2007 - Company Parade

The day started off with the bandsman test by Captain Tan and Miss Foo. The test started around 9 and was followed by the usual band practice. At 2 25 p.m. while I was having a squad meeting with B1, I was informed that I will be the NCO in charge for the parade. Being briefed merely minutes before the real deal, I almost panicked because it was my very first time doing in it. In addition, I had a minor sore throat. Against all odds I took the challenge (thank God the officer in charge was Mr. Jason =).Singsparation was conducted by Corporal Wong Hoe Kit on behalf of squad C2 which I felt went on successfully. Then members broke off for Christian Education and awards. Drill was basically the same weekly routine. This time around, the drill squad was divided into two groups lead by two Drill basic holders, LCpl Cham Kwan Weng and LCpl Khoo Ming Yuan. They were assigned to take over their respective squads for a couple of weeks. Next was the closing parade. The tension eased a little during closing even though I was still slightly nervous. Then a few of us stayed back for basketball until dusk.

WELL IN THE END IT’S THE EXPIRIENCE THAT COUNTS = )
