As past years we did, every boy needs to get to the company by morning. It is the same for everyone this year but different for me. It is very unfortunate for me to get chicken pox and is unable to attend this meaningful event in my uniform.
I went for the service at 4.30p.m. I was ‘locked’ inside the control room to view the events so that I will not get contact with the boys. There were a few teacher who attend this function. Namely, Pn. Adeline, Pn. Koh Pang Hwa, Miss Ho and also Pn. Lau.
Thanks for attending the event.
The service starts with a ‘Guard of Honour’ which I do not stand a chance to see. Then it is followed by a speech from Mr. Joshua, our guest of honour and also Captain Tan Chee Keong. Then, it comes to the awards giving ceremony. Everyone looks satisfied with the badges they got. Haizz.......... I can only hear my awards and cannot get them on that day. Then, our marching brass band performed a few songs – ‘Apple pie’, ‘Colours of the Wind’ and also ‘Tequila’. Not bad... Everytime when I was playing inside the band I feel that it is so ‘Noob’ but from the audience view, the sound effect is different. Quiet good but there is still a lot to improve.
Then, the most ‘kan chiong’ part arrives...... It is the promotion...... First, it is the promotion of lance corporals, then staff sergeants, corporals and finally sergeants. I would say it is quiet shocking when they announce the promotion of staff sergeants. It is due to the extinct of staff sergeants since year 2004 or 2005 and finally there are people who appointed as staff sergeants.
Then, L/CPL Sean Au, last year’s Best Boy and me, last year’s Best Recruit were both promoted to SERGEANT??!!!?!! We were shocked.......
This year there are 3 Form 2 new lance corporals. I think many people will say no quality or whatever kind of stuffs but let me tell you if you are really better than those people, you are already promoted. If you are not satisfied don’t quit because it is like when you cannot solve a problem, then you take a knife and commit suicide. With that you are not even up to the standard of a BB boy. When you are facing a problem, do your best and find out the reason behind why you are not promoted from Captain or officers and correct yourself immediately and works towards your aim. If you are not promoted, it does not mean you are no good, it is just because you work not enough hard. Continue your hard works... Never give up. A very good example is shown through L/CPL Henry Chow. After 6 years only he got promoted. Don’t laugh because he showed a very good mentality to stay in the company to serve and not quit just because of never get promote in 1 year or 2 years time.
Let us open our mind & STRIVE FOR THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!

Pertandingan Kawad Kaki SMK Taman Desa 2009
This is the video for the competition
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd50-5_C0FA
Lol. Sorry, I do not know how to make a better link to the video.
Finally the day has come........
Everything must be settle on the spot.........
Friends for yesterdays, ENEMIES for the day.................
Today is our school annual Footdrill Competition. People have been practicing for days and months, so long just only for this moment, for a very final showdown on the drill ground.
There are total of 8 uniform groups in our school that took part in this competition:
1. The Boys’ Brigade (Briged Putera)
2. The Girls’ Brigade (Briged Puteri)
3. Kadet Polis
4. KRS
5. Pengakap
6. Pandu Puteri
7. St. John Ambulance
8. Red Crescent Society (PBSM)
I’m from The Boys’ Brigade and I hold the responsibility as the commander of the team. This is my first time experience of being the commander of a team for competition.
Months before the competition, we had plenty of ‘hell style’ practices for this competition. For example, we had things like ‘night drills’ which means practices at night. This is due the combination of our members from morning and also afternoon session. This is very normal to us as we had made this almost our culture.
The MOST extreme part is the final week before the competition where we had almost everyday practice from 10.30a.m. till 3.30p.m. We practiced very hard and gained esprit de corps and spirits among ourselves.
I love the part where we put on our boots. Our boots are known as our ‘Ultimate Weapons’ as it can cover the minor untogetherness. When we practice at the ‘Dewan Tertutup’ sometimes when we were too tired under the sun, the echo of our stamping is really loud at nice. There is where we gain our spirits from.
>>>>>>>THE DAY OF IT<<<<<<<
Before the uniform inspection, I motivate the boys as I seldom did that. I was very glad when NCOs, officers and those seniors came and raise our ‘FIRE’ and gave us supports. I want to give my thanks from the deepest of my heart.
‘’Sekarang, dipersilakan Pasukan Briged Putera.............’’ Then it was our turn to show our skills. When the team marches in, there is a kind of wind that is very strong. Of course the wind is not as strong as the KL State drill 2008 1st team of 3rd KL Coy but it still ‘boleh tahan’. Everything goes well. From my view, I can see some mistakes. Let me list it out so that next generations can work on it:
1. The part where people start the basic drill, 1 line’s alignment out- Edgar’s line.
2. Buka Barisan during perlahan jalan although the stamping is together but the lines are a bit, slightly out.
3. Basic drill basically is like that. Now the formation, people forget as usual each year will happen.
4. My haversack snaps off. Next time please put safety pin at the back of the sticking thing (Velcro) on the haversack.
5. Timing is too fast for some parts. I finally figure this out why. It is because the ‘cepat jalan’ no hand swing. People tend to go fast. When you swing your hands you will not be fast because it takes time to swing your hands. So, if possible next time don’t do this kind of formation.
RESUME*********************
The time during competition, I used my voice till the highest level of my shouting skills – Loud & Clear without saving any voices. Everything goes well until my haversack snaps off. I march on without caring about that. When we march out, the crowd claps very loud.
After I fall the team out, I cried. This is my second time of crying because of drill. The first time is when I made a wrong move in the KL State drill 2008 final night practice. So, this is the second time. I never cried it out loud and I ‘tahan’ it. Just a little tears drip off from my eyes. It is very hard to stop it because once I think about the haversack I just couldn’t control myself. Wai Kien and Justin came to me and calm me down. Thank you, comrades..........
After I see the Kadet Polis drill, I regain the hope of winning again. They have done quiet a lot of obvious mistakes as in their uniform and drill movements. Anyway, they are still the strongest opponent we are facing.
Finally, this came to an end. The results are out. Everyone gathered at the competition ground. When they are announcing ‘’Tempat Ketiga dimenangi oleh......’’,
my heartbeat went double because I hope it doesn’t turn up like last year....... ‘’PBSM’’
My heart is saying ‘’Yes’’. Next, ‘’tempat kedua dimenangi oleh....................’’ Everyone gets very nervous. It is BB or Kadet or others................ .......... ‘’Kadet Polis’’.
Then, people claps and cheer for Kadet Polis as they are the famous one BUT our seniors’ clapping are not for them but for us....... hahahahah LOL..... It is so funny I can say. ‘’Tempat pertama dimenangi oleh pasukan Briged Putera’’. YO, Yeah man!!!!!!!!!
After 2 years never get champions, finally we made this comes true again!!!!!!!
Besides, I had also won the award called ‘Ketua Platun Terbaik’, also known as the Best Commander Award. I was really happy.
Below are the results of it:
JOHAN : Briged Putera
NAIB JOHAN : Kadet Polis
TEMPAT KETIGA : PBSM
I feel very joyful that day. Many of our Ex-members came and cheer for us when we did the 3rd KL cheer ending. Thank you boys, you all are the ONE that bring back the BB’s glory in SMK Taman Desa. I salute you all, my brothers.........
