Li Xin's Holiday

Hi, I am Ng Li Xin  and it's my turn to share with you my holidays!


     During the holidays, I lead a rather boring live though. Unlike my group members who had an interesting life to share, I have spent almost everyday at home.
    Due to that, my mother has bought an early Christmas present for me, which is a keyboard!

This keyboard wasn't really costly, but I feel that it's is the thought form my mother that counts. She knew that we did not plan any outings or holidays, and knew that I would be bored by the long holiday I was having. So, I practiced playing the piano by myself, and spent my holidays pretty fruitfully with the piano! ( I was very touched by her actions actually. Even though I do not have an exciting holiday like others, at least I have felt family warmth everyday. Happiness isn't all about traveling to places, is who you are together with all the time .)

This is the video I tried learning from!

With the help of the video, i have even tried playing "Itsumo Nando Demo", from my favourite movie "Spirited Away".

Hands up if you didn't travel during the holidays, but had a happy time during the holidays! ✌️✌️

Hubert Choo Holiday

 

During the holidays, I went to Taiwan and one of the main attractions I saw was the Taipei 101. Standing in front of the once-tallest building in the world, I felt as small as an ant. The magnificent building is visited by many people yearly. On this trip to Taiwan, I learned and experienced many new things and grew closer to my friends and family whom I went with. 

Ong Yu Zhen (15) Holidays

During the year end holidays last year, i did not go overseas with my family. Instead, i spent most of my time in school practising FSD. ROD also took place during that time n i also went for a PDS course at HQ with some of my platoonmates and a sergeant.

I received the silver badge (top left) with difficulty. i went for the PDS (Precision Drill Squad) course
during the holidays at HQ. It was a 3 days course and it required us to report at HQ at 8.30 in the morning
and to be dismissed at 6+ in the night. For the whole day, we would be holding onto our heavy rifle, doing drills
and PT. It was exhausting, especially the PT. PT takes place twice a day, early in the morning when drilling
had not started and after lunch. We had to do many sets of jumping jacks, 3 different types of pumpings
 (normal,diamond and spider), and many other exercises which trained us in our arm strength. The worst arm strength exercise was the one where we had to hold up our rifle at our shoulder level without bending our arms. It was a painful experience as my arms and thumbs were hurting badly. The lunch provided was really bad. The course was supposed to take place for a month. However, in our case, we had to complete this course in
just 3 days!!! Hence, we had to cramp our brains with different yet similar rifle drills. At the end of the course,
there was an evaluation and we got tested on the drills. I did really bad but managed to pass as my coursemates
did poorly as well. Hence, I feel that I got the badge just based on luck.
For the badge on the top right, it was a badge that i received after visiting the RSS endurance ship
at HarbourFront.
For the 2 keychains on the bottom ,they are given to me by my platoonmates who had brought from overseas.

Pictures that i took with my seniors during ROD :D

Love that day <3

Sweet letters that my Seniors wrote to me :D

Thoughtful gift

Meaningful gift by my previous USM and ASM. This is
for me to write down happy moments so that I can look back
after a year or more.

                                     

Fam outing with Part A specs :D 

Chiau Ren Dao's (23) holiday

This  November-December holidays was a rather uninteresting and uneventful one. I did not go overseas, nor did I go to any places of attraction.

However, during the month of December, I went to West Coast Park (WCP) with my class.

 It was a particularly special one to me, as it was our first "proper" class outings- the others that were organized earlier in the year had little attendance, with as few as 5 people who attended. It was also quite special as I do not frequent WCP, and it was relaxing and refreshing to play there once in a while. Besides that, I was cooped up at home all day spending time on YouTube, so a little outing was good for both me and my eyes.

 Rather surprisingly, more than three quarters of the class attended. I had a memorable time there, be it playing on the mini flying fox, building a crappy sandcastle, or climbing the massive pyramid. 

Unfortunately, a few of my classmates had to go off after lunch as they had their own CCA commitments. People started leaving slowly after that, and in the blink of an eye, the outing was over. Nevertheless, I had a fun time on the bus cracking jokes with my friends, laughing till my sides ached.

 After the bus ride, we parted ways and went home, thus concluding the most exciting event in my holidays.     

Cho Yu Jung's Holiday (1)

My holiday was not as fantastic as others but it was alright. It had never been exciting and never would be. However, I managed some how. 

During the holiday, I made a gigantic cookie with me sister. 

I was very lazy to make the cookie one by one. So, I just spreaded the whole mix on the oven tray. I felt that shape doesn't really matter. On the other hand, I wanted to find out what would happen if I made the cookie enormously. Sadly, there was nothing so interesting to talk about.

I also made a egg cat.

I actually wasn't planing to make any egg decoration but it turned out this way.

What happened was that when I was trying to crack an egg, I accidentally dropped it on the table. Luckily, only the bottom part of the egg cracked and content did not flowed out as the white thin 'skin' of the egg was not yet torn. The egg was as good as eggs in normal condition. So, I decided to paint the egg into a cat!

On a fine day, my family decided to eat duk-bok-kee. It is food that Koreans enjoy eating. It is mainly made of rice cake and vegetable.

I wasn't trying to play with food but I wanted to try. It came out to be rather cute. (The eyes are mushroom and the white colour things are rice cake). Immediately after me taking photo, my mom throw them into boiling water.

I became very bored while waiting for food to be fully cooked so I stack the coupons on the table.

It was not helping with my boredom 

That is all I can talk about my holiday. There is no significant event that happened. However, it was a fine holiday. I really look forward to a exciting holidays this year! No, no, not look up, look forward.
