A new start
ky @ 11:50 PM
On 18 April 2009,
the Hwa Chong St. John Ambulance Brigdae sent out 2 teams to participate in the Annual Zone 7 First Aid and Home Nursing Competition. The results are as follow
AA- 2nd AC- 4th
(more details will be posted in due time)
It is indeed one of the most disappointing results in zone comp. But nevertheless, we should acknowledge the effort each and every member have put in. On the competition day, all of us witnessed the competition team members putting in their very best, never giving up. Although in the end, the results didn't go our way, but we shouldn't be too disheartened. What matters most is what we have learnt, the experience of training with your squadmates for 5 months, all the first aid and drills.
Yes, we might all be disappointed. But let this be a motivation for us to do better next year. As some would say "The strongest is not the winner, it's the one who can pick himself up after losing".
One of your sirs mentioned that know this competition is something so underrated by the school - no one will really bother even if you trained 6 times a week for it (which you did), because we'll forever be outshadowed by so many other ccas
what matters most is that all of us know you have put in effort, there's no need to feel sad or whatso ever.
As for now, we should start from where we left of, and start trying again. I sincerely hope that this will mark a new start for hci*St.J// By reviving the blog, would be the first step=) as cadets, I hope all of you can co-operate and understand what the NCOs are doing, and that sometimes it is not within our limits to control somethings. For the next few months, there will be some changes in training and i hope that all the cadets can put in more effort in the future, contribute more during training.

(The following lines are lyrics of a song meant for AA'09 and AC'09. Hope it motivates you guys, esp. the sec 2s. It's not about the winning, but the journey that is most important.)
"The Climb" by Miley Cyrus
I can almost see it. That dream I'm dreaming, but There's a voice inside my head saying You'll never reach it Every step I'm takin' Every move I make Feels lost with no direction, My faith is shakin' But I gotta keep tryin' Gotta keep my head held high There's always gonna be another mountain I'm always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be an uphill battle Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose Ain't about how fast I get there Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side It's the climb The struggles I'm facing The chances I'm taking Sometimes might knock me down, but No I'm not breaking I may not know it, but These are the moments that I'm gonna remember most I've just gotta keep goin', and I gotta be strong Just keep pushing on, but There's always gonna be another mountain I'm always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be an uphill battle Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose Ain't about how fast I get there Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side It's the climb There's always gonna be another mountain I'm always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be an uphill battle Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose Ain't about how fast I get there Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side It's the climb Keep on movin' Keep climbin' Keep faith baby It's all about, it's all about The climb Keep the faith, keep your faith, woah
Some words...

As much as I would like to offer some words of comfort, it may just all seem hypocritical and so..
But I'm really glad to have seen all of you put in so much effort for competition. Stressed-out trainers polishing boots till late night. Compteamers hiding under the stairs to discuss last minute strategies. Corps members rushing down to HQ to help out despite last minute notification. And of course everyone else who went down to support.
You all may have lost the competition, but I do hope that you have won other experiences much more worthy than mere glory.
Perhaps in July this year, we will not see our School's prescence in the competition hall, first time in n years. Take this as a short break to recharge all our batteries, before we make a great comeback the next year. Before they really 还我河山.
Perhaps this might also work as a better wake-up call when we see other corps in Zone 7 or other zones. And I also urge of you to treat your loss with a gentlemanly grace, remember to congratulate them if you haven't done so!
Last but not least, just like what I have tagged on Arturo's blog, if you all think you have disappointed us, throw it away. Just remember your mistakes, learn from them, and pass them down to your next batch of compteamers.Labels: Zone Competition
