Unit Instructor Programme (UIP) was held on the 13th of December-14th December 2008 for a span of 2 Days 1 Night. Alongside with three contact sessions previously, the aim of this programme is to develop and inculcate the values our present batch of cadets can provide and to seek out potential merits as unit instructors to be. For the three contact sessions which lasted for every alternate three weeks, they were undeniably an eye-opener for many cadets as they were split into the three main specialisations, namely 'Footdrill Specialisation' , 'Casualty Evacuation' specialisation and last but not least 'Outdoor Activities' specialisation.
In the former exercise planned by the 'Casualty Rvacuation' specialisation, cadets from all specialisations were enmeshed either as casualties, rescue team I/Cs, traige I/C, base I/C ;etc. The aim of the exercise was to prepare cadets to have the basic foundation in an emergency which in this case was a bombing attack. Armed with the fervent passion as a first-aider to evacuate and provide immediate first aid treatment with a placate and contemplative attitude, the exercise brought jitters as we were not habitually predisposed in such dire states and forebore was not quenched. With hollers and moans of pain in absurdity, casualties swarmed into the base in a fleet. Cadets were literally assessed on their agility,quick-wittedness and their tackles amidst such predicament. Eventually when the operation was said to be ceased, cadets were shaken but their stagnant perseverance was undeterred. Good job!
Huayi Secondary School's cadets were brought forth with exemplary conduct and overwhelmingly satisfying performance as out of the nine cadets that attended this programme, six were conferred the certificate of participation and only 3 attained the certificate of attendance. That makes it 67% out of 100% in participation rate. The results were indeed impressively pleasurable. Way to go! In spite of the laudable results, Huayi's cadets will always be down-to-earth and humble, awaiting for more challenges ahead to overcome. UIP 2008 was the pioneer programme for budding unit instructors that left a wondrous imprint for future cadets to follow. All in all, it was an inexorable success and Huayi Secondary School was definitely honoured to be involved. :)
First Aid Competition ( FAC) 2008 was an ingenious success and an accrued accomplishment to be reckoned with. This year was evidently witnessed as an assertively competitive one with rife participation from various schools, comprising of links and cadets alike. Battling it out with wits on first aid in the theory segment and remonstrating our aptitudes and repose composures under the different scenarios to handle the 'casualties' in the practical segment, it would definitely be the glowing eminence bestowed on the emerging winners, either in district levels or in other aspects.It was a comprehensible honour for Huayi Red Cross as yet again, we were gratified to clinch the opportunity as a participant in the tantalizing competition. Having braced ourselves beforehand with mock scenarios and drilled implementations of designated timeframes, we were frazzled but not intimidated. It was a quivering desire to put out skills down to vagary and wield.
Representing our unit, Corporal. Guo Yu Jun, Corporal. Tan Si Ying, Corporal. Tan Jia Min and last but not least Corporal. Chua Yee San were imposed with this hefty responsibility to which they were acclined to with esteem and renunciations of kudos. Huayi Red Cross's entire unit were enshroulded with the sense of unity and warmth and came to support our four musketeers.
Finally, the day of recognition had dawned on us. Arrant spasms of anxiety collated were inadequate to overwhelm a pliably resolute and affirmative spirit to gain the last honours for the unit. The competition adhered without tumult. Our four representatives though mounted with apprehensibly gruelling questions, got to grips with them tactfully. As the theory segment advanced, it was proclivity as they grasped a more profound knowledge of first aid and to proffer remarkable answers, all made possible with a determined quintessence.
Next up, the practical segment. Huayi's cadets had to handle a semi-conscious 'casualty' with injuries consisting of a foreign object in one hand and another compounded with burns and blisters. They too were moollified when nerve-wracking queries hurled by the judges surfaced. Propped with sustainable first aid skills and marvellous reassuredness, out cadets overcame the precipitated scenario with sanctimonious.
Hereby, congratulations to the FAC team for coming in second runner-up! All well had ended well. Our four representatives had laudatorily done the unit proud. With felicitations and well-reserved applauses, we can certainly be awaiting more good news along our paths! Huayi Red Cross all the way! (:
On the fourth of November, an otherwise bleary morning was further invigorated when Hua Yi Secondary School's cadets treaded onto the awe-inspiring path of ' The Live Turtle and Tortoise Museum' located in the prestigiously revered Chinese Garden. Upon admission, we were gripped with shock to come upon the knowledge that the museum has attained the 'Guinness World Records' for withholding the largest collection of 3,456 tortoises and turtles in the world, comprising of 1,000 live specimens and innumerable ornaments, tablewares, furnitures and even the presence of toys in the aura of these shelled creatures. What a whooping figure!
Our cadets really had an unforgettable experience befriending the tortoises by feeding them cucumbers. Witnessing the bliss that was evidently seen, it was nonetheless a memorable trip. However, all things had to come to a conclusion. After taking pictures with the widely-acclaimed owner, we purchased souvenirs (yes, tortoises and turtles' ornaments of course!) and baded goodbye.

During Outdoor Activities's lesson, cadets were inherently embroiled in trying their hands out on the numerous knots and lashings, not to forget applying knowledge on utilising a silva compass. Many faced difficulties as they were relatively new to this field. However, packed with throes of passion and resoluteness, they hung on and it was definitely a moment of crowning glory when they accomplished their tasks. During Evacuation lessons, cadets once again paid full attention while evacuation theory and practical were dutifully meted out. Therein, cadets paired up and ignited the stimulus. After each round of inspection, it was heartening that everybody displayed a sense of urgency and the spirit of sharing through guidance and aiding.
Though impeded with a time constraint, cadets were no let-down. Stretcher drills, cradle carry, 4-aider human stretcher...we tackled them with a firm belief that we could overcome these stumbling obstacles. Footdrill aslo withheld the dawning realisation that Huayi's cadets have irrevocably bonded as one, their drills uplifted and maintaining a unified 'bang' was also a vital need.
On the second day, our unit's cadets partook in an eventful heritage trail along with Assumption English School. We were divided into four groups, dictatedly 'Alpha' , 'Bravo' , 'Charlie' and 'Delta'. With a commergence of both units' cadets, we arrived at our destination. Guided by various clues, cadets immediately spun into action. At each designated station, we engaged in games to derive the next clue for another station. The linking game too saw the cadets through another round of union, bondings and bountless aptitudes and competence. It was really a memorable day enshroulded with glee. Finally, it was the last day of camp. Huayi's very own chairperson, Corporal Guo Yu Jun gave a camp closing speech with acknowledgements of all cadets. Anticipatedly, Lance Corporal Cheow Kwan Wai was conferred the 'Best Camper' award. As the camp officially concluded, cadets left with brilliant smiles and pragmatic revere. All of us had achieved our goals one way or another and are certainly looking forward to another bout of bonsings. Huayi Red Cross all the way! :)Training Notice Below are the details for the upcoming training on 12th September 2008:
