Studies.....

During this holidays i also i did many useful things like reading books and newspapers. This is to improve my english and to increase my general knowledge. not onlt that i also went to the library with my friends to borrow some books. Sometimes we will go there to to do our homework and study because library provides us with good studying enviroment. It is quiet over there so we can concentrate more in our studies. My friends and i will discuss things that we are in doubt. We will also use the books over there for references. From this can learn alot of things. I did revise my subjects. I actually revised my mid-year exam papers. I just went through what mistakes have i done. From this i learnt from mistakes. I am satisfied that i had spent my holidays quiet usefully.

Sentosa Travel....

In the middle of this holidays i went to sentosa mith my family and my relatives. I was very excited. The places there were totally changed. There are many places that brought my attention to. First we travel through the cable car. It vwas fun as it was a transparent cable car. After that we all took a bus and went to the sky tower. They said that we can see the whole of Sngapore. At first i thought it was not true but to my surprise it was. It brought us all the way to the top which was about 100m in height. I took pictures of eye-catching scenery of Singapore. Then i went for the dolphine show. The dolphines there did alot of stunts that really amazed me. After the dolphine show, we all pay a visit to the underwater world. I learned about the different types of sea creatures in the sea. There was also a stingray section where we can touch them. I dared myself to touch the top of the body part. It was very smooth and nice to touch. This was the first time touching a stingray. Then we went to the beach there to feel the fresh air. My uncle, dad, my couzins and i went to swim in the beach. I really enjoyed at that point of time. We went to the best resturant to eat. It was really good. After eating i when to the sky rider where we can sit on bench and there was just a bar in front of us to prevent us from falling and this ride wiil bring us to the the top above 60m in height which gave me a thrill but it was fun too.

DurinG ThE FirsT WeeK Of Holiday$

During this june holidays, the first week of it i had my NCC Spec course camp. It was a 4 day camp. This camp is for us to do well in drills and in everything so that we can get a third or second sergent rank. Four days was qiute a lot. during this time the time went very slow. I got worried because i need to be away from my parents. I was eagerly waiting for the camp to finish but coincedently i sprained my hand on the first day itself and the sirs told me that i need to be sent home because i cannot carry the rifle. They told me to come for phase 3. At that point of time i felt very happy that i was going home. when i was on my way back i felt a bit worried because i did not complete the camp and i cannot get sergant rank. This was a oppurtunity to go to the mother tounge camp. I really learned about my culture in depth. It was not only the indian culture but the malay and chinese cultures too. We got to wear the sarong , make currypuff,and many more things.i really enjoyed the camp alot especially the food. It was superb. I love the part where we were challenge to speak in malay and chinese. That was very fun. I will not forget this camp.

Reflection on video...

Last week, my teacher played a video of Singaporeans who go overseas to work and about their life there. It also tells about their commitment of Singapore even though living there for many years. As for me, a Singaporean I will always want to live in Singapore and contribute my best. In the video some of them live in foreign countries but still have a sense of belonging to Singapore.Some of the men who belong to Singapore and are in foreign countries come over to Singapore to do national service. This shows that they still respect their country, they are very loyal to the country as even when some of the Singaporean men do not wish to do the national service but some Singaporeans in overseas are willing to come back. This shows how committed they are. If all Singaporeans are as good as those, Singapore’s military power would be as good as the other countries.

Reflections on the Career Fair

The career fair exhibition was held in the Sunteccity. The exhibition place was very enormous. We can see almost all the careers that you wanted to refer to. It was very fascinating as we could find out about different types of jobs. Three jobs that i was looking for, which is my ambitious too, are chemical engineering, software engineering and pilot. The reasons for choosing these three career choices because they are very unique and especially software engineering. Because this includes creating of animations. What so unique about this job is that you can create your own video games . Not only that the salary is very high than you expect. For example if you create a video itself you could get over $30 000. If the game gets approved you could even start selling it. Isn't believable? Thats the truth. The pilot job is not actually suitable for me as to be a pilot we need to have good eye sight but i anm wearing glasses as my eye sight is not good. I found this information on the pilot section. We also need to learn physics to learn the altitude of the air and many more, but i hope that i would have the chance to enter the pilot career in the future.

My career choice is....

Hi it's me again not to talk abt myself but to talk abt what i want as my career.
i want to be aircraft pilot. You will have to get top grades in english, maths, and science for starters. To be an Air Force Pilot is to know you're amongst the nation's best.You'll get to fly some of the world's most modern aircraft, employing the most advanced weapon systems. And work with a team of highly trained professionals.It's also a career that will optimize your talent as you hone your skills with the world's best Air Forces; participate in real-life operations. The training programme will include all subjects related to the craft of flying.Ultimately, nothing can beat the exhilaration of earning your set of 'wings'. The mark of prestige and the supreme recognition of your achievements. But this is only the beginning. A career as a Pilot also means you are a leader and professional all rolled into one. The RequirementsAs a Pilot, you should be:
a Singapore citizen
between 18 to 25 years old
below 27 if you are a university graduate
between 1.62m and 1.9m tall
combat fit for males (PES A or B)

The training is designed to build your flying skills and leadership capabilities. And as an Officer, you will be the key to team excellence. You'll be called upon to impart a high standard of professionalism and inject fighting spirit when leading your team.You'll have plenty of opportunities to undergo other field training and leadership courses. And your training is not just limited to Singapore skies. You'll be pulling G's over foreign skies as well. As such, you'll be sharing experiences and trading goodwill with officers from other parts of the world.

The RemunerationAs a Pilot trainee, your starting salary can range from $1,870 to $3,980, depending on your educational qualifications. Once you earn your wings, your salary will increase, ranging from $3,980 to $7,255 for a start.With good performance, advancement in terms of rank and appointment is rapid. The many upgrading and developmental courses will soon see you scaling the promotions ladder. That means first, becoming a Flight Commander, then Squadron Commander or a Base Commander.
The BenefitsLike most individuals, you would have your own savings account. Money accumulated for the future, or a rainy day. Saving And Employee Retirement (SAVER) Plan which consists of 3 components helps you save as you grow with us.A) CPF Top-Up AccountAn RSAF Officer will receive 9% CPF contribution which is 3% less than the private sector). The RSAF will contribute the difference of into your CPF Top-Up Account. Upon the end of your service, this amount (with accrued interest) will be transferred into your normal CPF Account.B) Savings AccountDuring your first 6 years of service, you will receive contributions of about 10% - 5% of your monthly salary into your Savings Account. This amount will decrease progressively from the 7 to 10 years of service, thereafter it will cease. You're eligible to progressively withdraw from this account after 6 years of service. This Savings Account will help build up your savings during the mid-stages of your career.C) Retirement AccountThis account rewards you for completing a full career with the RSAF and will provide you with added resources for a second career transition. The RSAF contributions to this account will start from your 7th year of service, until you reach age 42/44*. The amount you are eligible to withdraw from the Retirement Account depends on your age, with full vesting when you reach the age of 42/44*.* for pilots and ranks of colonel and above.
ITS not abouthe money or the benefits, its about the reponsibilties i have and the challenge i'll face.
