Hong Kong Rugby 7s 香港七人欖球賽

This coming Friday, I'll go to Hong Kong Stadium (香港大球場) in Happy Valley for the Hong Kong Rugby 7s FREE (One ticket usually costs $800)!! I bet you're thinking "how?", I'll tell you. The Rugby 7s let schools go and spectate the whole competition for FREE. My teacher signed up, and then we're in. Unfortunately, we can't bring any food and beverages, only can buy from Fast Food restaurants inside the stadium. Also, it will be very late, from 3:00-8:00 PM, and I have Air Cadets the next day. For the official site of The 2007 Hong Kong Sevens (Sponsors: Cathay Pacific/Credit Suisse), click here.

In case you didn't know what Rugby was (From Dictionary.com): A form of American Football played with an oval ball

Fiji vs. Sri Lanka
South Africa vs. Chinese Taipei (Taiwan)

Basic Radio Communications

Yesterday is BRC test. I think I failed......Passing score is E. Eric Sir tested us on Oral and I forgot O (For Oscar), V (For Victor). The test was ok, I knew all, the oral was 27% of total. So annoying today...many SQNs came to our meeting place for foot-drill and Easter Camp Info. Along with the SQNs came, sirs, ma'ams, Observer??, Parachutist, NCOs, and WO.
We also foot-drilled, in the rain. Whenever we went inside, no rain, then when we go outside, pouring. My foot-drill is so bad, I forget how to do "sizing". Luckily, Cpl was nice today, not the mean one. While in Inspection today, I have so many problems. No "spine" on Work-U top, boots not shiny enough, ...umm..., Armlet was dirty. So lucky, no push-ups, the ground was too wet :)
