oops

 
ok so this is another pic w no photobombers. I dun think I wld like to slep in a tent this crowded.

refer to last post 4 the other pic + details of today :)

extra trng was B O M B

okay ignore the title I jus put it there for the sake of it

ytd nite jap was so done w me n a few others cuz we were spamming about shadowhunters

at some point of time we started typing malec in caps

malec is bae geddit

tbh it was gr8 despite many many downturns and failures

ok I'm not gonna tell u till I need to to keep the suspense. I like to see the life bleed out of u while u wait 4 it hehe jk

we came super early, most of us. around 7. Why, to learn the knots of course, esp most of us. I still can't get the butterfly knot even after my squaddies taught me?? Haiz

As for training today, we did rifle drills and tent pitching. We learnt 2(3 for some of us) rifle drills today. Me n jap learnt what the rest learnt last wk cuz we couldn't understand what we were being taught by our squaddies.

I was super thrilled that we would be doing rifle drills as I had been praying hard that we would do it, but the saying be careful with what you wish for doesn't exist for nothing, does it? I learnt soon enough

Jap was much faster than me at learning it I swear I felt so sore at my lack of brains. She was like keeping up with the timing when I was still struggling to flick the rifle and do the drill correctly, and yea I basically screwed it up for her. I just have the fear that I might flick the rifle too hard or smth and may not be able to catch it and it might fall to the floor, or that I might flick the rifle into my own face, which well did happen. So yea I had the big problem of not flicking it hard enough and ofc, transferring. In the end I improved but I was so far behind jap.

so yay we cud finally join back!!at first it seemed ok, but as the day drew on the rifle started feeling heavy in our hands. really heavy. it was really, really weird doing basic drills with the rifle, and the worst was marching cuz we kept psychomo-what idk how to spell. cuz we cldnt swing our right arm and esp when we take the first few steps almost inevitably we wld do it and then pause like wait what then get it right, so ofc we got semula-ed almost everytime we did it. idk for me it was a rly huge problem. I was pretty frustrated I felt like crying. hentak was also quite problematic cuz the rifles kept movin about even tho we tried to lock our arms

n yes changing which sucked horribly. we got loads of things confiscated cuz we didn't actually standardise properly. n exceeded timing by a lot. we had not been changing w school skirt for quite a long time aldr, so we kinda forgot it. we need to standardise it asap. well its typical of me to state the obvious so plz bear w me aha

yay tent pitching! honestly I wasn't q looking forward to it cuz I kept fearing we cld not do it and jus afraid I might not rmb the knots. but yes tdy we were in for a surprise! mm keep reading!

yep so we had 2 groups of 6 and 5 ppl. mine was the six ppl team, our team name was 6 sweatshirts cuz aly. apparently earlier on be4 the training started there had been some talk of that song. I cant stand it tbh(as in the song). and our team cheer was 'who, what, wear, sweatshirts' or smth liddat. do u see the pun?? 'who, what, wear' instead of 'who, what, where', and yes copyright its my idea so give credit hehehe jk

so this time rnd target was 24 or 25 min yep. most of us were q nervous

and yep there it goess!! why the rain must rain earlier on idk why. I made the grass so slippery and the pegs so slimy I was gripping it till my hand hurt. only upside was the grnd was much easier to peg on, tho there r certain spots which r q hard. the only problem was it was too soft sometimes too. youd be wondering that I complain its too hard wen its hard, and too soft wen its soft, so what exactly do I want. I don't know either. I guess its jus to suck it up n live w it?? wen u want to repeg and take out those pegs, its so muddy it slips and dirties your hand, so its extra work trying not to let it slip. I kept slipping on the grass, and it was stupid cuz at one point in time I tripped over a peg n slipped trying to regain my balance n did a split. well done. but it was fun actually.

n char ties the flaps so neat unlike me. maam said she can be flapper HAHA. I blindly walked into the guyline after tying the flaps oops

I think I was muttering by the angel like a lot the whole time HAHA

but we persevered yep, and my squaddies were q nice to help me out w butterfly knot. our grp finished in 22 min 38 secs!! I mean to yall maybe the timing still sucks but it was q an achievement for us cuz we have nvr pitched a full tent before(idk if yall did last wk) and we did not exceed timing!! well no time to celebrate we had to help the other team

actually they wld hv been as fast or maybe even faster if not for the drain problem

so ya we were q happy!! and we all crowded into a tent and maams helped us take photos!! yay!!

and afterwards we had a fun debrief which lasted till idk wen I stayed oni till 12 or so. I wanted to stay but I was too hungry ah oops.

the ones who had left earlier didn't change finish in a long time and we were starting to wonder if they fell asleep in the toilet. before they left there had been more talk of the sweatshirt song and when they were leaving well, they were distracting us w funny things like nik was walking like a crab n stuff?? and maams said smthsmth n that they were too high, which I totally agree with

whatever you do dun suggest to me that meliorn's face tattoo is a chilli pepper cuz u will fail anyway. Besides, I will kill u

Everything looks so green and we look like yellow birds in the grass
 
 
AND HERE IS A FUNNY POST!!hehehe will is omg
 
 
 
 
and this is so tru HAHAH
 
 
 
HAHAH HERONSTAIRS 4 LYFE
poor jem
 
 
 
ok take care n dun be stupid like me n play in the rain for fun cuz ya I'm on w fever now
 
 
and yes heres a joke!! (it might be a lil dirty)
 
Q: What is the difference between a snowman and a snowwoman?
A: Snowballs
 
 
hope u enjoy and appreciate my sense of humor hehe
 
I think sweatshirts may be the most commonly mentioned thing during training today

ded person no.2

actually no im not really dead im just really sleepy im woke up at 5:30am after 2 weeks of sleeping in till 9

cat tired sleepy yawn
this cat is so cute <3 the yay is so redundant tho
today was actually one of the best CCA days :D we had apt and i personally think that we did quite well for apt !! 10 pushups and 40 pumpings and even though some of our arms were like jelly afterwards, at least we did those pushups and pumpings the best we could !! remember to practise apt at home okay ? there are some ways you can practise apt i think i sent those ways before in the squad gc but i'll just send here again

ways to practise apt:
1) coke bottle with twine and life (( this is how i do it i dont know if this is the real way ))
     - fill your coke bottle with water and tie the top to your life using twine and hold the two ends of your life and roll it to "pull" the coke bottle up; the more water there is, the more difficult it is 
2) newspaper
     - tear out 2 pages of newspaper; one for each hand, and you hold the pieces of newspaper in each hand and you hold your arm at 90 degrees and start squashing the newspaper into balls and make sure you squash them until they cant be seen when you clench your fists (( that means you fist should close up around the newspaper and you shouldnt be able to see it )) 
3) twinkles
     - im sure all of us know how to do twinkles, so basically you just hold your arm at 90 degrees and count the number of twinkles you can do each time; as you do more, your arm power should increase, so make sure to increase the number of twinkles you aim to do !! and remember to KEEP YOUR ARM AT 90 DEGREES THE WHOLE TIME !! if not it wont be effective because you are technically "slacking"
4) pumpings
     - im sure all of us know how to do pumpings as well, so basically you get into pumping position and you do pumpings HAHAHA and your arm power technically should increase each time you do  (( unless you're not pushing and challenging yourself )), so as you do more, increase your aimed number of pumpings and MAKE SURE TO DO THE PUMPINGS PROPERLY AH IF NOT ITS NOT EFFECTIVE THEN YOU WASTE TIME DOING IT WHEN YOU WONT GAIN ANYTHING ))

i do apt once a day before i sleep and i think it kind of helps if you do it regularly ?? because before june hols i only did apt like twice or thrice a month and my apt was so bad i couldnt get a proper tension on the tent but during june hols when i started doing it regularly i finally could get a proper tension so i think it helps if you do it regulary and who knows we may become this 
Endemol Beyond musclesspace emoji red moon moon emoji


moving onnnn, we finally learnt how to pitch a full tent !! i got free apt while waiting for nancy to tie the knot (( no she's not getting married )) so THX NANCY FOR THE FREE APT :D we didnt actually pitch a tent but MMM WE LEARNT SO no more excuses and Ma'ams can pitch a FULL tent in 9 min ?? okay artemis we must beat that timing okay jiayou jiayou !! now that we know how to pitch the full tent we have no excuses to say we do not know how to do any steps, if you dont know any knots or you forgotten anything, squid artemis is always on your whatsapp page (( unless yall clear chats HAHAHA )) so feel free to come ask us okay ? we wont scold you or blame you so dont be scared !! if you dont know and you still dont ask, its worse than not knowing and clarifying so remember to ask !! :) 

next we had changing um um lets just say we need to improve our sense of urgency ya :) and help out squadmates do not give eye power !!

anddd we had drills !! i think our drills really improved alot !! our bangings alot more coordinated, but theres room for improvement !! AND WE LEARNT RIFLE DRILLS TODAY !! FINALLY !!!!!!!! I WAS WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS DAY AKNAOIHOWOINOKWA okay sorry i shall maintain ahem so yes we learnt rifle drills and i was so happy rifle drills are so fun i finally know how to hold a rifle i cant wait to learn more rifle drills I WANT TO PRACTISE BUT HOW DO YOU PRACTISE WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIFLE IM SO SAD :((( but ye its so funnnn yayyy i wan do more rifle drills and after practising during extra training for a few mins i finally can catch the rifle with one hand yay !! alot of us could, and if you cant, DONT GIVE UP YA !! im sure you can do it soon !! practise more during parades or extra trainings and like what Ma'ams say, "do not be afraid of the rifle or to flick the rifle up, if not the chances of it hitting you is even more" so BE DARING YA !! once you get the hang of it, its really fun !!:)

today was one of the best CCA days ever i love it YAY :D

ded pt.1

hellu all artemisians and readers


I, the unicorn have returned from Dreamland and put my foot on Earth. The grass doesnt taste as good:(

This morning in Dreamland, i woke up at 5 to eat- ramly burger and sausage bread was good mmmm. then i went back to sleep before waking up at 6.20 to get ready and pass through customs. We had extra training today, i was so so so sleepy:/

We did APT first and my arms died. Idk if it's because i never train for very long or because fasting..probably both (last time i trained my arms was 2 weeks ago lel) We did tent pitching after that, ma'ams went through everything and i hope next training we can finally pitch a full tent !!!!!!

We did changing with Eos and we exceeded timing by 49seconds:( and got a slack confiscated (which we did claim back in the end wuhu). We did a few drills after that before learning rifle drills yas. We learnt senang diri, sedia and rusuk senjata(?). It was quite challenging but ma'ams said it was okay for our first try:D

People keep sending me snaps about food, THEIR STORY ALL ABOUT FOOD
I'm super thirsty, my throat is so dry CMON 5HRS AND 45 MINUTES MOREE (1.27pm now)
I think i'll go sleep after this and go back to Dreamland

Ma'ams if you happen to read this, this is the halal doge niki and i were talking about:

And i hope this brightens up your day: 
REST WELL: )

- sukaiYES


extra training uno

i am thirsty.

i am very thirsty.

but only another 7 hOURS JIAYOU.

anyways, (hehehe)

today i woke up at 5 and i ate half the plate of rice and 1/4 of egg mMmmmmmMmmmmM
im jking im going to die lul

anw then i took a long shower because whAi not

Fun Fact: Listerine helps to get rid of dandruff!! Get a spray bottle,  fill it up 1/2 Listerine Original and 1/2 water and shake. Then spray it on your scalp after shampooing your hair. IT WORRKKSKSKKSKS MAN INSTAGRAM TUTORIALS HELP

speaking of instagram tutorials, i did this thing idk i put a bar of chocolate in a rolled out pastry dough and baked it IT LOOKS GOOD AND SMELLS GOOD AND STUFF BUT THE TASTE OMG IT'S SO PLAIN i need help cooking man why can i cook in school and not at home hais

anyways, (hehehe again)

i called bk after that and sHE JUST WOKE UP IT WAS DAMN FUNNY HAHAHA SHE SOUNDED SO DED I CANNOTHAHHHAHAHAHA

ok then i came to school and bla blabla bla bla

then we had apt and i was dying halfway because my hands erhmaged

then we had tent pitching which was basically us watching ma'ams pitch a tent because we need to learn how to pitch a full tent

yay




ok so

1. for the guyline, we need to tie slipknot, pull it through, pull it through the peg BEFORE the second guyline
2. pull the RING, not the TENT SHEET
3. to pitch the outer sheet, place one peg straight then peg at the other end
ok iz sth like this CIRCLES - pegs which are for the tent (45 degrees) LINE - peg that is supposed to be the straight one
you can do this for the middle one also
4. to fold in the flaps fold in the triangle then roll it and then tie a ribbon knot/shoelace knot

i think das it anyone can update bUT PLS PUT UPDATE AT THE SIDE SO I KNOW LOL
Update : ... 

Then we did rifle drills.

painful.

ouch.

erhmaged.

so the blue thing is our boot and the red thing is the butt of the rifle

the butt of the rifle should always touch our boots, and the front of the butt should be aligned with the crease of our boot.

in senang diri, we should make sure our right hand is in a v shape, and your hand is holding the rifle and your hand is straight and the rifle should be somewhat forward

in sedia, the rifle is pulled all the way to the back, and the nozzle should be touching your arm, the thing (idk how to describe)  touching your wrist

then we learnt a new drill, rusuk(?) senjata

it's like throwing your rifle up and catching it

I HURT MY SHOULDER BUT IZOKAY

so we flick the wrist and throw it up, then catch it using your right hand

transferring is like throwing it, the catching it with your left hand then catching it with your right. but you should be catching it with your right hand only. if you v pro already ( like ma'ams ) then you can catch with one hand i will think u is a senpai and legend


anw das it i'm sleepy and iz in the library so gudbaiii

xoxo

p.s. my abs were hurting during pumpings and bk said i did it wrongly. i told her i did it right because i am fABSulous

p.p.s. japleen is in phuket with elsa and they're both singing "phuket all"

teehee
