RJ NDP

I love this year's NDP celebration!!! It's so cool and interesting, and omg, the first major night-time school event [for me]!! When everything's so dark, cooling, though unfortunately humid, and under moving spotlights, anything's interesting!!!

I was just saying that Sing-Along sessions were really cool and completely defined National Day Celebrations, and how unfortunate that we don't have them anymore. Then omg, Sing-Along, yay!!!! I love sing-along, it's been so long [2 yrs well] since my last one, I completely didn't realise I couldn't sing high anymore. -.-" Or screech. I want my voice to crack!!!! Lolz.. Ahem, so ya, had to sing low soft. I like Ou De Yang.

My throat a bit phlegm now. Must be that mee siam and that screaming. I'm surprised I lasted the night on just a mee siam. Wanted to get a popiah but zzz, nvm.

Unexpectedly slept late last night while trying to double-check the guarantee on a mint-condition yoyo i had. Anyway I thought sleeping late will make really grogginess and might daze off while trying to last till evening. But actually no leh. Quite okay, only 2 hrs to burn only. And the celebration was pretty enlivening stuff, how can ever doze off?!?!

Damn you ppl who boon!! Damn wet blanket and 扫兴 loh. But their loss. Actually it depends, yah lah. =)

Is this the last NDP celebration? Even if NUS got, don't think it'll be nice as JC or SS or PS... in that cannot just wild and patriotic and all that. =) Lolz. I'm an official patriotic convert after my stint as participating NCC platoon in NDP'04. It really changes your perspective of the NDP. You feel like part of the ten thousands sitting ard the stadium. And you gain some respect and admiration for the rehearsal process. Seeing them setup the seating, draping on decorations and tarps, positioning the big guns, drilling the rifle firing sequence on the front parade square. =D And feeling that you feel the same thing as every other performer/participant there. And slight mixing of the diff UG grps and across diff schs. And kinda just missing everyone there, the atmosphere when NDP ends, and you look back and say, OMG, that part of my life just went away. And you can't even stop to reminisce, 'cause everyone's got to scramble and get the hell out of the vicinity b4 the crowd is dismissed. So, you end up leaving the stadium with a sense of loss. The performance is over, excellent job, and now we're running away from the place, as a grp for the very last time. Then each of the UG grps, and within each UG grp, with different destinations [some on the East, some on the West], drive off on the designated buses. And waving like hell and making a lot of noise to the ppl on the other buses.

Though the OIC then said NDP'04 was the last one to be held at the National Stadium. Then our squad was like omg, nice. And I wished I actually had a camera phone to take some photos for memoir. But it wasn't the last yr, damnit!! The OIC and CO and specialists lied!! Though I still wish I had a 2.0M camera phone then. And during RV Grad Nite too. I know now I'm definitely having a camera on RJ Grad Nite. For too long I tot some events were just gonna be trivial and thus not worth being bothered with. But it ALWAYS turns out otherwise. Social stuff does weird things on your perception. So now, CAMERA for Grad Nite!!!! RAWR!!!

Jking ard too much isn't too nice either, cannot get into the mood. Like trying to joke ard too much during Chem that the lesson just flew by. but on the bright side, i stayed awake i guess. And no jokes to distract on NDP! =D


Sry abt that NDP rant. I ALWAYS feel like ranting abt it, that was the best part of life past. That rant will be compensation for not ranting after watching the real NDP on TV. The marching rhythm played by the SAF band, the marching commands given off, and the formation, are all so hauntingly familiar and dreamily intimate....

I'm weird.

Konjiki no Gash Bell rocks!! Don't say it ain't.
