DVOTW 28

Hi all once again,

I believe most of u hav heard enuf 'Tan' puns from fb, SMSes, youtube etc, so I didn't bother searching for a choreographer with a Tan in his name.

We are featuring Prepix Crew this week. This is there promotional video, something like they are recruiting.



Intersting isnt it? A 360 degrees dance. I actually wonder how skillful the cameraman is hahas. And it is not easy to choreograph a dance to cater to all angles :P

the 360 degrees thingy reminds me of last year's Teacher's Day Celebration. The stage is really 360 with the audience all around. Here's wishing our dear teachers and YOs a great Happy Teacher's Day for all their effort they've put in.

So stay tuned for another episode of DVOTW and happy elections day as well lol.

FD Tips

Hey all! I believe that most of you cadets know how to do some basic marching commands already ~

Basically, there are a few errors that each and every one of you should be aware of:
Dressing not proper
Arm swings not in coordination
Legs not 90 degrees
Wheeling not executed properly - person pivoting moves a lot, back ranks cannot catch up with front rank
Arms flaying when executing turns in static drill

So here are a few tips:

First the foundations - arms locked, legs 90 degrees, head tilted up with an angle of elevation of 45 degrees.
While marching, shift your eyes left and right to see whether you are in time with the person next to you.
While marching on the spot, legs should ALSO be raised to 90 degrees and your feet should be pointing down (Land on the balls of your feet. If you don't know what that is, go look it up in the wiki or ask a friendly batchmate) to minimalise noise made and if you can do it properly, you won't be so tired. Also, look up with an angle of elevation of 45 degrees and stare HARD at a non-moving spot. This way, you won't move.
SLOW DOWN after wheeling for the back ranks to catch up
You don't need to jerk your arms up and look like a robot, but do it FAST while still in time with others of course.

Why should you do FD properly? This is because you will be involved in MANY parades. And when you mess up in a parade, it is VERY obvious because EVERYONE around you will be executing perfect drills.

And that's it. Just follow these tips, put in your 100 percent effort and you will be eligible for FDC in no time!

By the way, don't let me catch any of you fidgeting...

Signing off...

P.S This is not promised, but I MAY award platoon points if you can guess who I am. Just send me an email if you know the answer!

DVOTW 27

Hey ppl,

Welcome back to DVTOW 27!!!! MINDSville visit just concluded today, so jus relax from all the hard work you have put in and enjoy the video. We are featuring KINJAZ (kinda ninjas)this week. For anime fans, u may be reminded of naruto :P



Apart from sick skills, what really struck me was how they converted ninja fighting into a synchronised dance. If u watch the moves, some has references to things like sneak attacks, the katana, ninja-dash-past-and-you-die-a-few-moments-later thingy.

There are also cool freestyles / solo section but the interesting parts come when the background people for doing smth. You notice that the freestyler and backgrnd ppl actually follow different parts of the music. Something u can consider.

Well, HMT prelims in 6 days time for Sec 4s. All the best dudes and happy mugging (hmm wad is there to mug for HMT?)

Stay tuned for another episode of DVOTW. Same day, not really same time on rircc005.blogspot.com

btw, RIRC facebook group is back alive. Pls join if u hav not.

DVOTW 26

Hi everyone!

I hope that everyone's been having fruitful CiPs thus far, and that everyone has benefited in some way from their little trip! Anyways, here's just another video to pass the time with :D

Anyways, since National Day was over, I was hunting for a red shirt guy to post hurhur. So anyways here you go. And FYI this guy is a guy we've never posted before. And this is all freestyle! (Its like your impromptu speech) He's just following the music as he listens to it! (cool right. now if there was a subject called dance in RI instead of Oral Communication maybe this would be part of your graded component XD). And OMFS (Oh My Flying Sky) next week is week 8! That means that our exams are coming soon ._.

SAMH Indemnity Letters

Hi guys,

George should have sent out the consent forms for SAMH yesterday by email to everyone. However, all the SAMH indemnity letters are being kept in school, and hence I cannot scan it and send everyone a soft copy. Hence, could everyone going to any of the SAMH centres meet me at 1.50pm tomorrow at the SR Block Foyer to collect the indemnity letters from me? This is very important.

Thanks!

Kai Yan

Hey guys,

did you see our very own Yi Cheng on tv? Hope you did! We are all very proud he has represented us in a national event! *clap clap*

Have a good rest everyone! Work hard, play harder :D

Happy National Day!

National Day Speech

yo ppl!!!!

HAPPY 46th NATIONAL DAY !!!!!!

This long hols, take the time to chill, relax, and really rest. Term 3 is gonna end soon, and it has been a busy term for all of you guys, especially, the sec3s who are running trngs, CAC participants and FDCom squad members.

While wishing Singapore a Happy Bdae, let's all also wish Fintan a Happy Bdae too. HAHA, so lucky, same day as National Day. :P

For those who think National day hols is really bored, jus catch up on whatever you have to catch up, like work, reading, TV Drama Series, Dance Videos(yes altho PN and CAC are over, you can still look at DVOTW and go 'wow'), or simply rest. I noe many of u sleep very late at night and are dying, so revive yrself. If really hav nothing to do, i guess you have to go "reflect on what Singapore has given you", a suggestion by our Principal.

Happy Hols :P :P :P

DVOTW ∞+1 (AKA 25)

Hi Everyone,

To start off, we hope you had an enlightening experience today at the institution of Mental Health (no not as patients but as volunteers -.-). Regardless of whether you played chinese chess, monopoly, folded origami, solved puzzles, spun the bingo wheel or pulled UNO stacko blocks out of the tower with them, (or just used our common superpower, eyepower) I'm sure we have made their otherwise would be ordinary Saturday morning pretty fun-filled!

So here's a totally related video for you to enjoy:

Well, here's my failed totally smoked attempt to link this video to your experience today: Wherever you may be,(ponning today's meaningful experience or not) I hope that you will not remain like this guy, and be where you are. Reach out to those who need it, reach out for the starrrrrrrssss.... and remember that next week we have national day HOLIDAY on Monday (which we have FDcom training on ._.)... and the SAMH visit on the not so TGIF. Also, let's wish Yi Cheng, our newly elected... I mean our representative in the Red Cross NDP Marching Contingent, good luck for this Tuesday's Parade! :)
