Hi CQ team 2012! We may lag a bit but congrats! Heard you guys got gold! Awesome job. AQ and CQ gold for 2012 is an amazing accomplishment. Thank you for putting in the effort to study the bible while juggling with your studies and common tests. Also thank you to officers, instructors and teachers in charge for guiding the Boys for CQ. Hope you guys can clinch gold for AQ 2013. All the best for your studies for your end of year examinations! -Ex-NCO Council

From The Verge of DQ to the Mention in Awards Presentation, The Lord's Name is to be Praised

Dear Boys,

This post is dedicated to the CQ teams.

First and foremost, I want to thank and congratulate both CQ teams for doing well in the recent CQ competition. At the same time, i would also like to pen down my thoughts for learning and reflection purposes. Remember to Thank God for it! 

I apologise for the mix-up in the attires. When we reach PHS at 7.30am, Mr Ting and i had a short conversation to discuss what we should do with the wrong attire. After 15 mins, we reached a conclusion - to send your back to change so that we will not be forfeited. When you were on your way back to change, we prayed to God to lead us out of the situation. I remembered talking to Jerrell and Kerry that it seemed like how God wanted to test our obedience & trust in Him. When G was late, i remembered the marshals were all panicking. 

But Thank God that G managed to get a cab and reach PHS in time. I'm also impressed by your attitude to continue trying and not giving up when faced with such pressing situations.

Key learning point: Always check and recheck information

I'm glad your did well in the theory and outdoor component. And its your achievement that one of the teams managed to get to the 12th placing.

There are also some key points i want to highlight:
1. During the Awards Ceremony, the GOH, Ven Wong mentioned this line - One thing you collect, but will never collect dust, is your character quality. I find this line very true and appropriate because your character will be tested by time and shown to the people around you. Only time and people will tell how great a son/friend/colleague/manager/boy friend/husband/father you are. I hope that you will apply the lessons learnt from studying Abraham, Gideon and Jonah in your own life as well.

If you need help, please approach any of the teachers or officers.

2. As leaders, don't be afraid to ask questions. CSM and ACSM bombarded questions after questions at me via whatsapp. I think it is a good sign because it shows that they are learning to understand the Bible stories. Keep up the good work. The key point i want to bring up is - Do ask questions if it helps you to understand your own train of thought.

This also means that as a leader, you have to be prepared to take questions and answer them accordingly.

Lastly, CQ teams, please keep Tuesday night free for appreciation dinner :)

Thank you once again for your hard work,
Mr Bay

Hi Boys.

there are a few things i need to address.

1. Boys taking Drills Stage 2 (Platoon 2 + Jerrell + Kerry + Jowin + Javen + YeeLok)

there is another component that you are not tested on yet. it is the 'Method of Instructions'. you would need to select a drill movement to teach your fellow platoon mates. it can be any drill movement, even just Sedi-a (but you may not get a good score because it's too easy). follow the guidelines in your Drill 2 theory notes (teaching formations etc.) this will be tested on 15th Sept, which is the next parade. please prepare this well because it is 20% of the overall.

2. Boys who missed the theory test (either Drill 1 or Drill 2)

Boys under this category will have to take the test on Wednesday, 12 Sept. you CSM will make further arrangements. please study hard because this is 20%.

3. Boys who missed the practical test (either Drill 1 or Drill 2)

Boys under this category, please be prepared to take the practical on 15th Sept.

Good luck everybody and please pass this in one try.

Regards,
CLT Nicholas Chang
