Philip Malloy: I don’t know the words.

Discussion between Philip Malloy’s parents and George Brookover, Principal of Washington Academy

Mr. Malloy: My son doesn’t seem happy in this school.

George Brookover: Is something wrong?

Mr. Malloy: I do not know. Probably there is no track and field team.

Mrs. Malloy: He really loves track and field …

George Brookover: How about this? I will discuss with the school board on opening a track and field team just for him. We will also get a teacher to teach him the school song.

Mr. Malloy: That sounds great!

George Brookover talking at morning assembly

George Brookover: Children, the school is opening a track and field team and we are recruiting. Any interested students, please see me after morning assembly.

Conversation between Philip Malloy and George Brookover

Philip Malloy: Mr. Brookover, I would like to sign up for the track and field team.

George Brookover: Yes … Your dad talked to me regarding this. Sure thing!

Philip Malloy: He did? I didn’t know that. What did he say?

George Brookover: He said that you loved track and field.

Philip Malloy: Oh…

Diary of Philip Malloy

Today was great! The school has started a track and field finally. I signed up for it instantly. However, I do not know why my father looked for Mr. Brookover.

I am finally learning the national anthem! Usually I would only know the tune.

I guess I am going to have a super great time in Washington Academy…

Life in NPCC

Today was my 1st National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) training. I managed to catch up what I had missed from the past 3 trainings by today. We did some foot drills and exercises, followed by a shuttle run contest, 20 push-ups (pumping) and finally what they call it the "Spread Eagle".

The foot drills include attention, stand at ease, right dressing etc. Spread Eagle means that we have to lie down on anything that we are standing on and take a short relaxing break.

The seniors were quite fierce during training but they were actually quite friendly.

From today's training, I feel that I have made the right choice of appealing into NPCC.

To all HCI NPCC Members
Here I come! ... Remember to look out for me on Friday! (not able to make it on Wednesday as I have an outing to Police Heritage Centre)

EP3 - Allocated to HCI Band

The results of the Hwa Chong EP3 Posting have been released. I have been posted to the band. I am considering on appealing to transfer to another EP3. I want to try something new. If I go back to the band, I will only improve until I become the best.

I want to expose myself to different things in life...
