Lean on us, and we'll stand by you.

Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tommorow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load you need to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

Call me (if you need a friend)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (if you need a friend)
Call me (if you ever need a friend)
Call me (Call me)
Call me

CNY Outing

2010-02-07T13:09:00.002+08:00

Our CNY Outing :)

It's been a fun-filled Saturday for our big ZHSJ family!
Started off the day with breaking the ice between the new Year 1s and getting the know them better.
Year 1s, welcome all of you to ZHSJ :)
After which, we invaded the ever-crowded Chinatown for the literal part of the "Outing".
Shi Zi Lu Kou, Outward Bound St John, and all the other little POP-UP games!
And of course, our doses of KOI bubble tea :P
Then back to zhss, the Year 1s continued with a series of interesting water games,
while the NCOs started preparing for the BBQ. Food was great!
And the highlight of the night, our ZHSJ lao yu-sheng ceremony and birthday celebration for the Term 1 babies :)

Lots of fun, laughter, yummy food and good company for the whole day!
I'm sure everyone had enjoyed themselves as much as we did :)

A big pat on the back for all the NCOs who have spent so much time and effort planning for this event.
Despite little hiccups here and there, everything went pretty smoothly,
and everyone, from the very young to the not-so-young members, had enjoyed the event!
And there, you have met the objective of our CNY Outing.
Well done Year 3s!

Let's all look forward to the next event coming up in our calendar.. C.D.E. :)
Till then, don't forget to study hard while enjoying the festive season!
Have a Happy Chinese New Year and collect many ang baos!

HUAT AH~

Holding On To A Dream

2010-01-20T21:44:00.000+08:00

Holding On To A Dream

We were born with wings to fly

But sometimes we can't reach that high

'Cause it feels like the sky is falling down

Against the odds, against the rain

You dig your heels in to slow that train

So many wishes in the lost and found

One little thing can turn it all around

Holding on to a dream

Trying to keep hope alive

You can reach out to me

You can reach down deep inside

When the whole world's gone insane

A ray of light remains

The days you know it seems

Sometimes the hardest thing is

Holding on to a dream

At times you win, at times you lose

Sometimes life puts a rock in your shoe

But something in you keeps you walking on

Leave the fear and doubt in the past

Just believe, don't look back

Feels like an endless fight

All up hill, but that's all right

Keep your dreams alive :)

ViviAmo!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO OUR BIG ZHSJ FAMILY!!

So, a new year is finally here.

Time for a change to the already-getting-mundane-and-activitylittle-cca!

This year, there will be more activities happening in ZHSJ, more fun and more time for bonding!

First up, look forward to the CNY OUTING people!

Our very first welfare event for 2010 :)

Feel free to give the Year 3s suggestions on how you'll like the outing to be,

because the outing essentially belongs to all of you!

BUT of course, nothing should be just about all-play-and-no-serious-work.

This year, there will also be more focus on DISCIPLINE as well :)

We are in a uniformed group, discipline should be the very basic element that every cadet should have.

Respect your seniors, respect your fellows, and respect yourself.

Let's upkeep the ZHSJ reputation of churning out high-quality and well-disciplined cadets!

We will also be trying to make the weekly trainings more enriching for all of you,

so keep your feedback and suggestions coming in!

If you have any novel or creative or intelligent or ingenious ideas on how to make weekly trainings more effective and interesting, please email us at zhsjtraining@gmail.com.

LET'S ALL STRIVE TO MAKE 2010 AN EVEN BETTER YEAR FOR ZHSJ!

One for All, All for One! :)

p.s. Happy School Reopening everyone! Remember to work hard in your studies too!

Preparing for 2010..

2009-11-22T00:35:00.001+08:00

ATTENTION TO ALL YEAR 2, 3 and 4 CADETS!

Please check your emails!
All of you should have received an email from ZHSJ Training.
If you didn't receive one, do check with your fellow year mates for details :)

Please reply to the email (reply to zhsjtraining@gmail.com)

by the respective deadlines.

We will like to hear from each and every one of you.

Let's make it happen for 2010!

P.S. Do pass down the message to those who don't go online often :)

All Fall In!

2009-11-04T23:24:00.000+08:00

Exams are OVER, holidays are here.
And of course, the long-awaited NCO Course!

This is the time of the year many of you have been yearning for.
(well, maybe some of you have been dreading it)
But still, boys and girls,
once again, the time is here for great memories and friendships to be built!

For the Standard Course trainees,
going for NCOC is a great chance for you to know the other fellow St John members in Zone 5!
Take part with an open mind, and learn all the knowledge and skills to be a future NCO.
Be involved with an open heart, and make friends with all your course mates.

For the Advance Course trainees,
this will probably be the last course and camp you'll take part in as a cadet.
Unleash your full potential, show us what you are capable of!
LEAD AND BE LED.
Being an NCO is not all about being a leader,
you will also have to be a good team player.

Everyone, do yourself proud and ZHSJ will be proud of you.

Hang in there even when things get tough, boring or frustrating.
We want to see all of you at the Passing Out Ceremony!

Carve this line into your head:
"TOUGH TIMES DON'T LAST, TOUGH MEN DO!"

Have FUN people!

ViviAmo!

Don't Give Up

2009-10-12T22:45:00.004+08:00

Examination period is here once again... and ending soon for the year 1s to 3s. Year 4s persevere abit longer and your freedom is not too far away.

Take a look at the video... "Don't Quit".
Don't quit when mugging for your exams. Keep on going!
Don't quit and give up if your results are not as good as you hope. Work harder, ask for help if you need it.
After exams...
Don't quit coming for trainings =P
Don't quit in the upcoming NCOC =)
'Cos... Tough time don't last, Tough man do!

Teachers are working hard marking your papers...
Officers and graduates are studying hard too...
So... Work Hard, Study Hard too! So that you all can Play Hard after that =)

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt -
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

ViviAmo!
with Love,
Us

It has been a tedious 5 weeks for our NCOs-to-be! But we hope all of you have learnt something so far.. be it from the scoldings, the compliments, or your observation of other fellow course mates..

And now, the camp will be the next hurdle to overcome! All of you will just have to put in your best effort and enjoy the 4 days 3 nights together! We can assure you that by the end of the camp, most of you will be saying "i wish the camp would have lasted longer...." =D

So, for those who are still bottling all your potential up till this point in time, take this chance to unleash all of it, and you will surely see yourself in a different light after that!

Good luck everyone and see you at camp! =)

But right now, exams should be your main focus. So... study hard!

2008-07-12T23:25:00.002+08:00

FAC is not over when we emerged as the zone champion, tomorrow will be another time we test where we stand among the other corps.

Despite all the time, training grounds constraints and all unforeseen circumstances, our Ambulance and Nursing team had trained hard and put in their best effort into this competition.

No matter what the outcome is tomorrow, all the knowledge learned, experiences went through, bonds formed have made every one of you in the team a Winner.

Good Luck Teams!

Training Camp 2008

2008-06-13T01:05:00.003+08:00

Training Camp 2008

This year's training camp might feel the same for most..

You get up on this fine day.. You drag a big bag and your body (some might leave their souls behind) with you to spend 4 days 3 nights at a place where you are most familiar with your books and uniform.. There, you play, you march, you run, you get scolded, you follow, you lead.. At the end of it all, you will grow, in every sense..

But this year might feel different for some.. while others might not realize.. We know it, because we are not there.. though feeling sorry that we are not able to go through this whole process with the Corps, we are glad that the NCOs had successfully planned and held a camp.. it is not easy.. of course not to forget with the help of the teachers, seniors and graduates.. And we had a different experience too, a different kind of feeling, to be invited to join the rest for a small part of it all..

Congratulations to the Year 1s, who have managed to pull through their first training camp, and be promoted to PTE!

Congratulations to the Year 2s, who have grown and learnt to lead in front of everyone else!

Congratulations to the Year 3s, who now have a camp of their own to remember!

Congratulations to the Year 4s, who can now concentrate on doing well for their 'O' levels after putting in so much effort for the past year!

"tiring but memorable" - this still goes on for every camp of ZHSJ..

well done everyone :)

ViviAmo!

we WON! again :D

2008-04-16T16:26:00.004+08:00

GONG XI GONG XI! :D

ah ha, not new year, but for our FAC teams!

WELL DONE! *10 thumbs up*

our dear teams did us proud by clinching both CHAMPIONS!

a terrific job people! it doesn't matter whether it's winning by one mark or hundred marks..

the thing is, YOU WON!

and this is the result of all your effort :)

of course, not to forget the trainers, esp the graduates, who took time off to train the teams.

ALL of you deserve a big pat on your backs! (if not a slap will have more impact :P)

we're sure these 3 months of training and the experience through FAC will always remain with you.. it's really nice seeing all of you bond even closer, not only within the teams, but also among the years.. caring and motivating one another through the tough times, and enjoying like crazy during the happy times.. this has always been the most beautiful part of FAC.. and is also a significant part of the memories that we hope to leave with all of you in zhsj..

for now, work hard for your exams! and your efforts will definitely pay off too :)

p.s. we can't say enough 'well done' to show how proud we are of all of you. but still, you're fantastic teams!

ViviAmo!

love,

2008-04-12T00:25:00.002+08:00

FAC is really really going to be here in a few hours time.

Lots of hard work, sweat and time have been put in by the teams and the trainers over these few months.
Not an easy journey but you've come thus far. Just a bit more to go... Jiayou!
Well done AC & NC teams. Thank you trainers.

As a team, you've trained.
As a team, you'll compete.
Work together, Achieve as a TEAM!

Good luck and All the best.
You have the whole Team ZHSJ behind you. =)

I do not judge success based on championships; rather, I judge it on how close we came to realizing our potential.

The score will take care of itself when you take care of the effort that precedes the score.

FAC is here again, here again, here again

FAC is here again,

let us CELEBRATE~~

*12 APRIL 2008*

stressed? excited? "finally~"? or.. "oh NO!"?

our dearest teams,

let's put all those feelings aside, and SCREAM at the top of your voices: "we'll MAKE it!"

(don't break your voices though, esp zhenwei lishi and the timers :P)

we know it is not easy, but we hope all of you have learnt something during this period of time..

learnt to be understanding, to think on your feet, bla bla bla..

and most importantly to be confident of yourselves!

training has been tough, long, tormenting.. (HQ nursing room is full of our bookings :P)

and we know all of you have sacrificed in one way or another for this competition..

we've been through this, and we can assure you that every of the little incidents that occurred during this period will definitely remain as one of your most unforgettable memories in zhsj..

lastly, we'll like each and every one of you to know..

we're PROUD of you! really.

and you should know where our loads and trucks of luck will be :D

JIAYOU teams!

Dear CNY outing committee!

chairman: Rui Han

vice-chairman: Janicia

coordinator: Zhen Wei

games designers: Francesca and Serene

treasurer & logistic: Cheryl and Serene

A job WELL DONE! Let us give all of you a BIG PAT on your shoulders! :D

The outing was a very successful one, despite a little hiccup at the end when the food was delivered late (which isn't the committee's fault) and so bbq was pretty rush..

The committee, headed by Rui Han, had done a brilliant job in the planning.

To those who have burned their days and nights for the past month or so trying to put together the proposals, coordinating all the admin and preparatory work, and punching numbers on the phone to inform everyone, a big THANK YOU for the hard work! They've definitely paid off!

We're sure this outing had done a wonderful job in bonding the Corp and bringing the different Years closer together. And we hope this spirit and enthusiasm will continue in every one of you!

Attitudes

Attitude,
is more important than education,
than money, than circumstances,
than failures, than successes,
than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.
It will make or break a company a church a home.

We have a choice everyday,
regarding the attitude we embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past.
We cannot change the fact that people act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the one thing we have, and that is our Attitude.

Life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.

And so it is with you we are in charge of our ATTITUDES.
-Charles Swindoll

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in an ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. - Mother Teresa

Think it Right!

2008-01-26T22:43:00.000+08:00

Think it Right!

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you'd like to win, but think you can't,

it's almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost.

For out in the world we find,

success begins with a fellow's will.

It's all in the state of mind!

If you think you're outclassed, you are.

You've got to think high to rise.

You've got to be sure of yourself

before you'll ever win the prize.

Life's battles don't always go

to the strongest or faster man.

But sooner or later the man who wins

is the person who thinks he can!

Only by going too far can one possibly find out how far one can go.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

ViviAmo!

2008-01-01T14:02:00.000+08:00

2008 is here! Happy New Year!

Today marks the start of a new year.
Set your goals for 2008. Aim for it. Head towards it.

Study hard. Play hard. Work hard.
Together, let's bring ZHSJ to greater heights!

Wishing all in our big ZHSJ family a Great Year ahead!

ViviAmo!

at the beginning

2007-11-03T20:45:00.001+08:00

At the Beginning

We were strangers starting out on our journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start

(chorus)
And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

(chorus)

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know that my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

(chorus)

In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you

Set Yourself Free

2007-10-13T16:05:00.000+08:00

Set Yourself Free

Set yourself free from anything that might hinder you in becoming the person you want to be.
Free yourself from the uncertainties about your abilities or the worth of your dreams, from the fears that you may not be able to achieve them or that they won't be what you wanted.

Set yourself free from the past. The good things from yesterday are still yours in memory; the things you want to forget you will, for tomorrow is only a sunrise away.
Free yourself from regret or guilt, and promise to live this day as fully as you can.

Set yourself free from the expectations of others, and never feel guilty or embarrassed if you do not live up to their standards.
You are most important to yourself; live by what you feel is best and right for you. Others will come to respect your integrity and honesty.

Set yourself free to simply be yourself, and you will soar higher than you've ever dreamed.

Life is not a map, that's why we're free..

ViviAmo!

High

2007-07-17T12:01:00.000+08:00

High

When you're close to tears remember
Someday it'll all be over
One day we're gonna get so high

Though it's darker than december
What's ahead is a different colour
One day we're gonna get so high

And at the end of the day remember the days
When we were close to the end
And wonder how we made it through the night
At the end of the day we remember the way
We stayed so close to the end
We'll remember it was me and you

Cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep it flying high in the skyOf love

Don't you think it's time you started
Doing what we always wanted
One day we're gonna get so high

Cause even the impossible
Is easy when we got each other
One day we're gonna get so high

And at the end of the day remember the days
When we were close to the end
And wonder how we made it through the night
At the end of the day remember the way
We stayed so close to the end
We'll remember it was me and you

Cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep it flying high in the sky
Of love

Cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep it flying high in the sky
Of love

High, high, high, high....

Our DEAREST teams,

The time is here again for FAC!

No stress, no fret. Winning or losing will not be our priority in the National FAC, what matters most is the experience you'll get out of it.
Just perform to your standard and have fun!

We have made history before in NFAC, but do not see that as a burden to anyone of you. More often than not, luck plays a very significant role in such competitions. Hence, the outcome here is not that important. Just enjoy the process, as it may be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most of you.

At the end of the day, we are proud of each and every one of you, both the teams and the supporters! All the best! :D

ViviAmo!

Value

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"

Hands started going up.

He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"

Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20."

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

You are special - Don't ever forget it!

2007-07-04T17:49:00.000+08:00

What Will Matter

Some day it will all come to an end.

There will be no more sunrises, no more minutes, hours or days.

All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.

Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.

Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear.So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans and to-do lists will expire.

The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.It won't matter where you came from or what side of the tracks you lived on at the end.

It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.

So what will matter?

How will the value of your days be measured?

What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built,Not what you got, but what you gave.

What will matter is not your success, but your significance.What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.

What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.

What will matter is not your competence, but your character,Not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.

What will matter is not your memories, but the memories of those who loved you.What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.

Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.

Choose to live a life that matters.

Every one of you matters to us..

EAGLES IN A STORM

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks?

The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.

The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.

When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and beliefs towards our goals. The storms do not have to overcome us. There lives the power in each and every one of us to lift ourselves above them.

Faith enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm.

Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.
