In the Army - Self-maintenance

When we have some rest time and we are supposed to do our own things so to speak it is refered to as 'go do your own self-maintenance'. Haha...

In the Army - Ban Camera Phone? Try Banning Cigarettes

I haven't posted cartoons for some time. Here are the drafts. No time to tidy them up yet. =)

Camera phones are banned in all Army Camps in Singapore. After a while no camera phones became bearable and a norm.
What will be the next thing to be banned... how about cigarettes. =p Now, this will be tough.

King Saul: 1 Samuel 7 - 15 Summary in Comic

This is the summary for today's K2 class on kingship based on 1 Samuel 7 - 15. For the actual class, each panel was presented as the story unfolds. Each panel was sketched on an A3 paper and then individually inked.
Please note there is a typo error in the 5th panel. It should read 'King Saul took Agag..', not ' King Saul too Agag...'.

It has been a very busy week with the school's opening ceremony rehearsals and students' projects. And still there is a trainfire session in the NCC(HQ) from 14oohrs to 1700hrs at the NCC (HQ) today.

What the students did was to be familiar with the function of the new rifle as well as to be efficient in handling misfeeds of rounds during firing.

BBSS NCC (SEA) 2 Star Kayaking Theory Lesson 2009

Today is the first day for the 2-Star Kayaking Course for our Part B (Secondary Two) NCC (SEA) cadets. I had my lunch in Golden Mile, went back and saw them working hard on the spray cover exercise. What they need to do was to practice pulling the spray cover until it becomes natural and easy. The trainer, Roger, gave them instruction to repeat putting the cover on as many times as possible. I find my students very amusing as I watched them struggling to put the spray cover on for the first time. Many were exhausted after their first attempt and wished to be spared from taking it out and putting it back again...
I thought it would be nice to capture them in cartoons... so I took a scrap paper and drew them...

School Cartoon - January 2009

It is one thing to tell yourself to be positive and another to act it out. Self -affirmation as taught by many trainers suggest that you try to think positive. They often fail to emphasize the ACTION bit which happens to be only ingredient that make things work.

It is no wonder that there are many students who go (or forced to go) to a motivation talk, get emotional, and then after that move on with nothing changed or improved.

But I'm sure the trainers are happy, they got your MONEY!!! =)

Sitting down and belly (not 'barely') breathing with soothing music can be one good technique to relax. I learn it when the trainers shared this with my form class during in a motivation talk.


Not sure if the students got the message. When will they start to listen?...

During a home-room workshop, we were taught various strategies to engage students. One that caught my attention is the use of a bell as a signal to mobilize students to stand up and walk around in the classroom. When a second bell is sounded the students are suppose to remain standing where they are. A useful tool to re-shuffle the students' seating position.

A useful tool enough to inspire a cartoon out of it. Hehe... =p

Happy Chinese New Year Cartoon 2009 - 'NIU' Year Part 1

2009 is the year of the COW. So I have created the Happy 'NIU' Year 2009 Cartoon Series. For your information, 'Niu' means COW in Mandarin.

Its the year of the COW. Thanks RAT for being there for the entire 2008.

Hey it's the 'NIU's year. So give the COWs a break and stop milking them for a year!!!
A nice holiday would be a good break...

Though unlikely, we'll still hope that the economy will turn for the better in the year of the COW... if not then after COW.
