What does the Singapore Spirit mean to you?

I think it is important for all of us to see ourselves as one - that Singapore is our homeland and that we are Singaporean. Singaporeans are known to be "kiasu" but in a more positive light I would say that it is the motivation to achieve or to attain the best which pushes us on. We need to stay competitive in the modern day concept of a global village.

Despite the fact that Singapore is a multi-cultural society, I must say our people has been united as one. We study, play and work together in harmony despite the differences in our cultures and religious beliefs. We celebrate different festivals and national events such as the National Day Parade together. It is this spirit that bond us as ONE - SINGAPOREAN!

Camp Day 3 and Microsoft Office competition

Woke up with a headache and bodyache - feeling really too old for any camp now. Went to buy bread for the cadets - they had already finished those which I bought for them. At 10 a.m. I rushed down to Nanyang Polytechnic for the Microsoft Office challenge. I didn't do well for the microsoft Word category compared to last year when I top the Microsoft Powerpoint category. Most probably I will be in the top 10 position but definitely not the top few - Mrs Lai and our AM scored beyond 900 and I only managed a 853. However, I think that that is still an achievement considering how tired I was from the camp. I finished updating the stock book by 2 am and woke up at 6.30 a.m.

Learn@1degreenorth competition

Our team managed to complete 12 stations with 8 bonus stations before 12 noon! I must say the girls learnt a lot and had fun in the competition.

Simply overwhelming! Attended the briefing for the learn@ competition at MOE on Tues. At the same time we have to process and get the report books ready, collate the data for the meet-parent session...

On Wed it was worst, I literally climbed up and down non-stop. It was fund raising by the UG during recess and we also had the Emergency Preparedness Training and I was going round taking photos and also helped to count the money raised later on. I was so glad to see Cheri back from her MC and went through with her a bit on Map Reading. I was pretty upset that day over an incident - sigh... should not talk about it.. the wound still hurts..

On Thursday we were raising fund again during the recesses and it was meet-the-parent's session in the afternoon. Of course in the midst of all these, we still have to conduct lessons and relief other classes... I must say I could not stop even to go to the toilet that day!

Friday was equally bad - I had lessons and had to relief 2 classes. As one of the relief was given to me last minute (supposed to be my free period), I had to cancel my work review session with my HOD. I had to order the food and campfire wood etc. for the camp next week. I was rushing to print the camp proposal before our visit to the Toa Payoh SCHCC. Pretty disappointed with the poor turn up. I must applaud those who made the effort to turn up - they did a good job interacting with the elderly.

I have to go for my physiotherapy tomorrow or I might have a relapse of my slipped disc. I can't afford to fall ill now - we have our camp next week and I am also involved in 2 competitions!

Wish me luck!!!
