Uniformed Unit Carnival 2011

Humblest apologies to all of you as we had not updated this blog for some time due to examinations and packed activities as main factors.

Moving on, 2nd July 2011 was a historical day for St. Michael's Institution as the Uniformed Unit Carnival was firstly organised. Several activities and competitions was held on conjunction with this event and was participated by all uniformed unit in the school. We, the St. John Ambulance of St. Michael's Institution had also participated in this grand event.

As for the activities, we participated in setting up stall, selling foods like ice-cream and soft drinks. Besides that, for the competitions, we participated in marching, tent building, logo designing and cooking with four other uniformed units in our school. With the strong spirit and hard work within the members of SMI St. John Ambulance and the help of seniors and teachers, we managed to obtained third place for both marching and tent building during our first participation in this grand event.

If this event were to be held next year again, we would be more prepared and do even better as we always improve year to year discrete of time and place.

Gambateh, St. John Ambulance of St. Michael's Institution!

N.C.O. CAMP 2010

Sorry....first time using a blog!! Anywayz, the NCO camp was held on the 14th to the 17th of June. 4 groups: Emerald, Topaz, Ruby, and Sapphire. Due to the abscence of a teacher advisor, we weren't allowed to stay overnight on the 14th ,so dismissal was at 5 while roll call was at 6 the next day. Sorry...mr. phoon's orders! First day didn't go so well as members couldn't conjure a fire for lunch. Using charcoal was a bad idea! Hopefully the future exco board will take note!

Second day was much better. A/SGT H'ng helped out and we managed to get firewood! YIPEE! Camp continued with the usuals. Marching, Lecture, and Games session. A/CPL Cham organized fun yet challenging games. Lights Out was at 1200, after Supper.

Third day. Endurance competition was held at 2.30. Winners: group Emerald. Ironman: L/CPL Chan Chung Wai. Theory test was at 8. During this time, OTs were busy at the pavillion preparing for the main event...CAMPFIRE!!!! There was singing, performances by members and excos....everyone had a great time. It was nice to see the members smile and laugh after a day of hard work.( U noe wat i mean)

4th day. Last day. practical test was at 8. followd by marching competition. winners: group Sapphire. Next was water games....SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH!! Members were dismissed around 2. *sob*

My opinion: I wouldn't say the camp went as smooth as i wanted it to be....Little bumps and errors here and there....But we had a good time..and that's what matters!!


PS: i know.. i know....its july sorry for the late post...was trying to figure out how to use a blog!!
