Sprain in my left leg.
Muscle cramps all over.
Massive headache.
=( Lets start with yesterday. Woke up at 5:30 for npcc day. Went quite well, most of our squad people participated. And the three days of staying back and training paid off i guess. Went to concourse immediately after the parade to change into PT kit for the "Mass Exercise". Which never happened cos i was incidentally one of the three classes going for the field trip.
So we had to change back into mafti. Which is like a complete waste of time la. If only there was some form of communication to prevent such things from happening...and it's not fun to change clothes when your sweaty.
Field trip at 9. Grabbed a bit of breakfast before that. Then we met Mr. Edmund. He's quite nice...has the ability to make something boring interesting. And he has superb memory. Took some pictures...but i'm not in the mood to go post them now. Maybe some other time...
Went to kent ridge park first? View was nice, but lots of people were scared of the boardwalk..can't understand why...but hey, i guess everyone's scared of death...
Went to reflections at bukit chandu for an early lunch. And everyone started complaining about how they paid $18 and only got nasi lemak. Well i guess they didnt know that the buses aren't free and the tour guides aren't rich.
The place was quite informative actually..learned quite a bit haha. Like there was only two battalions of the malay regiment. And we saw the lee enfield rifle...which npcc uses for it's drills (bet you guys didn't know that)
Ok so there was this bronze sculpture of three malay soldiers preparing to fire a motar. And me, being the joker, followed the same position as one of those guys. =P Yea i was punished by being asked to read a plaque with the words of Mr George Yeo, a minister for something(i forgot k?) and the words were pretty hard to read aloud. and yar Miss Chew reminded us of the time at the CIP church cleaning. Mr. Edmund actually said something like: "Wah ur teacher very fierce arh?" Mr Edmund say one!!I'm innocent!!
Anyways, there was a quite nice animation film by Nanyang Polytechnic..alot of Layers and details used. But they must have used some expensive program like Flash Mx or something...which i can never hope to afford lol..but animation is quite fun, and easy, and expensive.
Then we went to the old ford motor factory...saw that table which the surrender document was signed. There was this game which two girls from two diligence was playing...and they had to anwser questions on history. I randomly shouted option 1 and it was correct..lol.
Went back to school, and changed to half-u for npcc...yar NPCC TRAINING again. Turns out it was a rehersal for another parade. ANOTHER PARADE. School blessing day parade actually. But i can't go!!And i was selected for GOH!!Guard Of Honour!! Blarg...the rehearsal itself was tough. We had to learn rifle drills(Lee Enfield Hee) in 10mins? And rifle drills are tough...we practised with imaginary rifles...so u can see our hand just standing there stupidly. RIFLE DRILLS ARE TOUGH. I was pretty much struggling through the entire thing trying to remember what to do for rusok, turun and hormat senja ta...
Not to forget the which command was for supporting contigents and which was for GOH..waiting and following the band drum beat...trying to listen to the actual timing...remembering when to turn...when to stop...when to face left...and it didn't help that i was at the left side(Front when marching out) cos of my height so any mistake was obvious.
The order of uniform groups was: NCC, SJAB, Guides, Scouts and us...haha
I guess our standard is too high lor...we got scolded for minor things like dragging your boots, hands not 90, and not singing the school song...none of the other ugs really sang the school song..but noooo it's us the GOH which has to "humiliatedly" sing the school song A Cappella...and it's us that trains and trains even after the rehearsal...and it's us that will have to come back to school on monday. The fact that it's stressful for us sec 2's which have never learned rifle drills before is ignored..I guess this is the standard of npcc huh?
After npcc, i was half dead and seriously considering going home straight like all of the other cadets. But yea..i decided against that and went to church straight..74 took only 40mins this time...so i was early...ate some dinner and went for cell.
Youth Group was great. Worship was by Guan You and the songs brought my spirits up..don't ask me why..but the fact that i was tired and haven't really rested since 5:30 in the morning was inevitable. Cell was nice too...celebrated andre's birthday.
I went home..and slept..woke up at 10:30!!AHH i was late for the captain's ball training..i reached for the phone...and i was soo tired that i slept some more...yar i'm gonna get punished by chee sheng on monday..ah well..went for lunch with family...there was this huge christian warehouse bookstore somewhere around lavender road....brought three left behind books(don't tell fabian) I'd probably read them in a week (I'm a crazy person that reads)
Went to east coast after that cos my Mum had to check out some macdonald thing for her kindergarten. East coast is nice..took pics too...but i'm lazy to click the button, click browse, click the file, choose the dimensions, press upload image, wait..yar it's too much work for me...it's so much easier to type right?
Finished..that's a long post.
My Agenda for the Holiday.
30th May-5th June. Vision for Mission convention, Port Dickson Malaysia.
30th & 31st May. Blessing Day Parade Rehearsal.
2nd June. Blessing Day Parade.
2nd June-4th June. Adventure Training Camp , NPCC Campsite Pulau Ubin Singapore.
6th June-9th June. Media Club Day camp =)
Somewhere near the end of June? NCO Camp, 4days 3nights.
I plan to: Practise guitar, redo my blog template, Learn Javascript, survive NCO camp in one piece.
I can't decide whether to go for the Vision for Mission Convention or Blessing Day and ATC..GAH everything's all cramped together. The chance to meet up with Salvation Army people from around the world is rare....but the chance to meet up with NPCC people from area 7 is rare too!!
