NPCC Annual Day Parade 2007.

Day started with me going to Mac's for lunch with Hao Xiang. =D

Then we went to Sengkang Sec, boarded the bus, waited for Yi Hong who was super late.

Dry run was horrible. Cause we waited to march out for super long. Then suddenly thunder appeared and Cat1 warning issued by some Command Centre. So we had to go to the drill shed and train. =/ Bleah.

Break at the mass hall was quite ok. Wedges and Nuggets. And a muffin for some strange reason. Haha, but I guess time seemed to fly by faster cause we had a nice air-conditioned classroom to rest in? Unlike last year's Syf where we had to sit on the floor outside the National Stadium.

Parade itself was tiring, my legs felt numb and I felt super dizzy. But the feeling of being in a major parade is still very shiok la. Haha. Although there were a couple of mistakes here and there...

Feeling was bittersweet after the parade though. Kind of relieved and happy that it was finally over, but sad that it's probably the last parade I'd be in, and the last time I'd get to march in the contingent. So everyone was enthusiastic when marching back to the classrooms knowing it was like the last time for many of us? Since most of the staff sergeants already passed out. And unless there's a miracle that we'd get to go hta again next year, there's pretty much no more chance of another parade.

Ah wells, 2 parades is enough. Haha. Played around taking photos with random people in the contingent/area. Then went to celebrate with squadmates at Compass Point.

I think I'll never forget this parade for a long long time. =)
