Hi,
You should be sleeping by now, but just wanted to wish anyone still online good luck for his MYCTs! :D
Don't sleep too late or you'll just be sabotaging yourself. By now you won't really be able to salvage things if you haven't been working hard enough, so just face your fate :P. But if you've been working hard enough then you won't be able to absorb much more, so just relax and go to bed.
See you in two weeks' time!

Dance Video of the Week, Season 2 Episode 3
Hello, people
DVOTW is back again with another awesome dance video
Found it just 6 minutes ago while searching for a video to upload :P
Anyways, if you watch it, you'll notice that the concept is darn cool -- they're like singing the song with their bodies (or something along the line), which probably explains the name of their crew, "The Body Poets".
You might also note the fact that the dancers, at times, follow the lyrics quite closely (like when the guy's tapping at an imaginary phone in his hand at around 3:29. You can follow that style of choreography and be literal about the dance/song, which is actually pretty easy though not always the best way to do it
Besides all that, their costumes are pretty cool -- that's another point to take note of. For your dance performance, try not to simply turn up in random clothes and all that but coordinate and make sure that your clothes synergize and fit your performance. For example, if you're doing a high song, don't come wearing drab and dull clothes. And if you're acting as a spy and want to make it darn obvious in a simple manner, you could wear something like the stereotypical business suit + tie and all that with a knife or something.
In any case, MYCTs are in two days, so good luck to all :)

DVOTW Season 2, Number 2
Hello people,
Hope you had fun at WRCD and learnt a bit through your interactions with the elderly and all
In any case, DVOTW is back again! Albeit a tad late, since it's Sunday already -- but never mind :P
This week, we present you with the video titled "Evolution of Dance", depicting none other than the evolution of dance (yes I don't say).
Funfact: It used to be video with the highest views on YouTube
Anyways, you can get inspiration from some of the songs/moves used in here -- just maybe not the groin-thrusting parts though.
Have a nice day, and good luck with mugging+mycts

Changes to the blog
Hi sec 1s and 2s,
Please bear with us as we're currently updating the blog and changing things. The blog might not be too "stable" for some time as we're experimenting with stuff.
Sorry if it causes any inconvenience for you. Though I don't see why you should be doing anything on the blog since you should be busy mugging for your exams.
Good luck, and have fun mugging! :D

World Red Cross Day
Greetings, people
Do take note that only the Year 1s and 4s are required to go -- WRCD isn't compulsory for the rest of you (Year 2s and 3s). However, it'd be good to voluntarily go there as well (if you're not too busy mugging, of course) and celebrate the Red Cross spirit together with other schools all around Singapore :)
In any case, good luck with studying and your exams!
And have a nice day.

Himara Camp and Inter-UG Expedition
Hello Cadets,
During the Inter-UG Talk today, we were informed of the Inter-UG Expedition, which will be on until the day before our Himara camp. However, Himara Camp takes priority over the Inter-UG Expedition, and you will not be granted excuse due to the aforementioned reason. Therefore, if you are interested in the Inter-UG Expedition, you will have to attend both that camp as well as our own May Camp. Please take note of this. Also good luck for your MYCTs :)

Reporting Time for Wednesday's Training
Hi All
All cadets will need to assemble and fall in at the S.Raja Block tomorrow by 3.40 pm as there will be an Inter-UG talk at the Auditorium at 3.45 pm. Please tell your batchmates and friends about this change and help to spread the word around. Please be punctual (and perhaps wear your PE attire under your uniform before school ends such that you can change and fall in quickly).
Thanks!

Platoon points update
Hi,
Epsilon won 30 points, Iota 80 points and Omega 40 points on Monday's training.
Randy from Epsilon also sent in a response to the Phoenix Questionnaire, so he wins 50 more points for Epsilon.
So please remember to check the blog regularly and try to answer the phoenix questionnaire. You never know, your response might be chosen to be the best and you'll help your platoon greatly!
Anyway, do look forward to tomorrow's training, as it'll be the last one before the MYCTs come. We've planned some special things for you! :D (unfortunately I won't be there :()

Anyways, just to recap this is what you guys did today:
Sec 1's: OA knots and FA bandages
Sec 2's: FA spam!
If you have any doubts, just approach any sec 3's.
Alternatively, you can just check the treasure chest above.(Subject notes)
Thank You,

Outdoor Activities lesson on Monday
Hi,
Sec 1s, please bring along some twine on Monday as we'll be having an Outdoor Activities lesson with you (on knot-tying). If you're lazy you can just use your shoelaces though. It's up to you.
We would also like to remind you that you (both Year 1s and 2s) should bring along your bandages for every training. The reason is the bandages in the bandage box we have will not be sufficient if we are having concurrent First Aid lessons, and also because those bandages are usually of very poor quality. So if you want to just get a little edge over the others in Inter-Platoon Competitions, do remember to bring your own bandages! :D
Thanks.
-Yi Cheng

Hello people.
This is David, the mentor fot the sec 2s for PN.

So we're going to be posting, as the title suggests, dance videos every week - starting with one that's pretty close to "home", so to speak
This week's video includes last year's winning team for CAC's (Current Affairs Competition - one of the competitions for RCY) interview that brings us through their choreographing process, as well as the dance itself.
Learn from it.

Himara - 2012 June Camp
June (or rather, May) camp. 30 May - 1 June 2012 (Wednesday to Friday).See you there! :D
-Yi Cheng
Friday, April 6, 2012
Camp dates
Just as a reminder, the dates for June Camp are from 30th May til 1st June. This is a pretty early reminder, so there shouldn't be much of a reason why you can't attend camp unless you really have something else pre-scheduled/something more important (merit CCA, family outings and the like don't count) or an emergency.
Hope to see you at camp cos it's gonna be reaaaaal fun :)
Himara!

Results for Footdrill (Bronze) Accreditations for Year 2s
Hi!
Hope you enjoyed your accreds (and the soccer afterwards :P) today.
As you know, everyone passed the theory paper.
There are 10 top scorers (all got 19/20):
As for the uniform inspection, the following cadets passed:
For practical, these cadets passed:
As for Adam, Jia Cheng, Andrew and Kim, you will have to come next Wednesday with your full uniform if you wish to retake the accreditations. This also applies for those who were absent today (Mahesh and Sakthivel).
For those who failed, don't be discouraged. We will revise with you next Wednesday before the re-accreditations. All of you will have to retake the Uniform Inspection and Practical. You do not have to retake the theory paper.
Congratulations to Shawn, Kelvinder, and all those who topped theory! We'll be awarding 25 points to Epsilon and 15 points to Iota in recognition for these top scorers' efforts (as for theory, there are so many top scorers it won't matter anyway).
For those who need help in seasoning their beret, you can make use of this video done by UnIChannel (the link on the top right):
Good night, and good luck to those taking their re-accreditations!
