The HomeTeamNS’ Charity Wash Carnival, held on 22 April, saw a vibrant line up of activities for car enthusiasts and families.

The two-day carnival kick-started with a Hyundai test drive, workshop and car wash at the Balestier clubhouse.

A small car with a big heart, the Hyundai IONIQ took the spotlight. The eco-vehicle is powerful yet compact, and promises both efficiency and advanced safety features.

Other cars available for a test drive at the carnival were the sporty-looking Hyundai Santa Fe and the seamlessly integrated i30.

Members who attended the event also received an exclusive code word to the NS50 grand lucky draw — the prize for the draw being a Hyundai Tuscon.

SSGT (NS) Ben Lim, one of the first people to have his car washed for Singapore Red Cross, was pleased with his squaky clean vehicle. He said: “My car is being cleaned for charity — that’s great!”

More than 200 NSmen and members gathered at this year’s Fitness Challenge at Bishan Stadium, to perform feats that many would expect to do only at the command of a physical training instructor during an Individual Physical Proficiency Test.

These men battles it out among their respective divisions in a variety of events, and some participants even broke their own personal bests while helping their division win.

One of them was 59-year-old DAC (NS) Patrick Fung Chee Yuen, who brought his division and himself to the spotlight in this year’s Fitness Challenge. The aforementioned division is SPF “A” Division, which managed to clinch the second-runner-up position under the NSmen Team Category.

When asked about his training habits, the exercise junkie simple said: “I do circuit training at least three to four times a week. And I also make sure to do a few exercise routines before breakfast.”
