Tuesday, August 08, 2006/ 11:08 PM National Day Eve wassup people. well, i initially promised to update the second part at midnight. i'll take back my words. =x. firstly its due to the fact that my internet connection has been a pain-in-the-ass lately. and secondly, i've got a malay teenage love show to watch at 11.30 in conjunction with national day. wouldn't want to miss it. so yea. enough of my plain excuses. anyway let's proceed to the exciting part of the story. today we had our national day celebration in school. and we're supposed to wear our respective pe t-shirt. mine was red. at first, i felt quite proud to be wearing a red and white shirt, since its national day eve ,but upon reaching the school, well, i can't really explain how i feel. (what am i talking about)? anyway to start off the day, we had the uniformed group marching out parade. guided by the beats of the bass drum, the contingent gracefully marched in. i can't possibly judge how well they did but one thing for sure was that they were rather uncoordinative. seriously, as a band member, they can't follow the beats of the bass drum. anyway, not to dishearten any of the party, let's move on. the band sounded rather hesitant. not weak, but decent. there were some cock-ups here and there, but i can tell they tried their best to cover up. 'majulah singapura' was a little bit off at some points but overall, it was okay. what i can conclude was that, the NPCC are the best in terms of marching. well, this is probably because most of the uniformed groups contain quite a number of sec 1s,except the NPCC. no offence though. well after that, we had our bazaar and our respective games stations. xinmin and i were one of those few who became volunteer (not we volunteer ourselves, but the teachers asked us). we are in-charge of the so called fishing history game, whereby one must use the fishing rods to fish out all the 8 pictures of our historical landmarks and use them to answer the questions given. one wrong, and they have to redo. actually our slot is the second half, but then sofia and partner did not turn up. so we had to take over them. and that's when the 'best among the best' event that happened. we reached our stations and well, the materials were not there. so we called for miss fun and she said the materials are in the next room. its was okay. until we realise that the the bundle of fishing rods are all jumbled up and left tangled. so we spent our precious time untangling the knots. we got 5 pairs of hands at first but 10mins later, left 2 pairs. xinmin untangled the knots while i tied the strings back to the rod. it was mentally tiring for us, more so for xinmin. furthermore, the 'fishes' were not there too. again we called miss fun and she said mr ong is going to pass to us soon. we'll i reckoned the soon was not VERY soon. around 15 mins later, the fishes arrived and then we started to play. we counted- 3 groups didn't even touched the game. well, obviously, things did not turn up quite well. miss fun said it 'is always like this. everytime there will be some confusion'. comes to think of it, it's true. after 1 hour plus volunteering, finally we got the second shift to look after. i was like thank god. xinmin and i went around the bazaar and eventually met with mrs wong. well, we are actually 'forced' to buy her i-dunno-what's-the-name drink in order to repay all our misbehavours in class. and what do you expect. we had to buy them of course. but then, we willingly bought it. after that, we went to do some henna painting on our hands. mine was drawn by pei shan and i smudged it for 3 times. i was so pissed off and now, my hand looks like an insane person scribbling anyhow on my palm. except for the name xinmin made for me though. it looks nice. then the celebration ended. we received a file as souvenir which is abit cheapskate but then, we must treasure what we have. met up with alwin along the way. he's sick with sore throat and flu. take care of yourself. after that, mr ang came by and asked us to help re-arrange the tables and benches back at their respective place. of course some hesitated, but then he enlightened us by giving us 3 hours of CIP if we were to complete the task. and so we did. yunyu was the only girl who volunteered and there were like 10 gentlemen helping, mostly from scube. anyway, when all's done, it was time to go home. yunyu and i walked home together and upon reaching the gate, we passed by tse shuan(i dunno how to spell) and abigail. well, no doubt they were irritating alright. even yy commented that tse shuan is irritating. anyway, we rushed back home - to run away from these 2 girls. and that's when this blog is created. :) okay. that's the end of it. and oh look at the time. missed my show already. see ya. |
