Thinking day

Sunday, February 25, 2007

O man. i feel kinda weird now cos thinking day is over. Which means, there won't be so many footdrill sessions and no more item-practicing. O well, at least the 1-2 months of effort paid off :) During the parade on friday, no one fainted or felt unwell, "bangs" were uniformed (unlike our previous rehearsals and practices) and there were no flying berets. Haha. Our fcs (footdrill commandants) were super happy with us. Olivia said that she was so happy she felt like screaming on the podium.... haha. "Usually we had to scream and shout at u all but u suddenly did so well on the actual parade" she said (sth like that la). At the end of the parade, we went to the middle of the quadrangle and did our v-bom cheer. We were like cheering in the middle of the school, right infront of the classroom block. Haha. Then, we took pictures and went back for class. Oya, I forgot to write what happened b4 the parade. well, we had to reach school at 6.30 am so that we could rehearse one more time. I went to school with xiaoen in my dad's car, so I didnt really have to wake up too early. Unlike some of my batchmates who had to wake up at 4 something, I woke up at 5.20. Luckily I prepared my guides full uniform the night b4. When we reached school, we had to assemble at the canteen. Guess wat... I fell down the staires leading to it. -_-. Everyone was like.... omg xinyun, are u ok? o well. nvm. Quite a number of guides somehow injured their legs for this period of time. Soochin fell down the bus's steps (she's on crutches...get well soon!), xiaoen fell down the stairs at her friend's house (bandaged ankle), sandy injured her knee but still dunno the reason y (bandaged knee for some time).
Later that day after school, the sec 2s practiced our item. It was kinda messy cos a few of us could not perform (sick/injured) so we were like rushing. Then, we could not find a good venue to practices cos the npcc or st john's ppl were marching or practicing their lion and dragon dance at the quadrangle. So, we had to go the the basement carpark. We practiced until 4 plus and debrief. Then, the sec 3s in charged of this gave us chocolates and cards. My card said "Hey girl! It's very nice to see you helping your batchmates along the way and you never fail to cheer people up! Thanks for all your help and we appreciate it! LOVE" haha. THANK YOU I/Cs! Later that night, my ankle ached a lil but it's ok now.

On sat, we went to school to practice our item. By the end of it, we were like sweating as if we were in the rain. When it was time to go, the bus was late. When miss teng said that the bus was supposed to come at 8.35, he said, "really huh!" o well. So, we just sat around and played things like "concentration", "who stole the cookie from the cookie jar" and had a mini song session to revise some of the songs we needed when we reach the indoor stadium later. We also took photographs and had fun.
When we actually reached the stadium, we had a full-dress rehearsal with all the other guides from other schools. At around 12 noon, we had packeted lunch by the organisers.... outside a restaurant. nvm. It was pretty good except the chicken wing had a lot of artificial colouring. Your could see yellow liquid oozing out when u squeezed the skin gently. Anyway, miss teng asked chinwen ant i to get a cake of some kind at 7-11 cos there were quite a few bday guides, but could not find one. It started to rain to we came back using the shelters. When we got back, we found that miss teng had sent xiaoen to get us with an umbrella, so we had to call her to come back...haha. at around 1 plus, we went back inside the stadium and the performances and prize-giving started. NYGG coy 1 and 2 received Puan Noor Aishah Award gold and silver respectively. Pei Chun Brownies also received gold...yay! After the PNA gold awards were given out, it was our turn to perform. B4 that, we kept "whooshing" haaha. We went out to the middle of the area for our performance. I was almost directly infront of mrs nathan ok! so nerve-wrecking. We just went on and performed, although we made a few minor mistakes, our seniors said they didnt notice anything, so nvm. Actually, one of us went to the wrong place during one of our formations, so only one person jumped out after our "kallang wave" instead of 2, but it was ok la. During the performance, I could hear our seniors cheering us on. haha. especiallyduring the senang diri domino. (our item was a dance cum footdrill cum formation kinda thing.) After the performance, iris smsed one of us and said that they were very pleased and that we did a very good job. :) Thank you iris. Oya, when we were on the bus to the stadium earlier on, gaomin (our CL) smsed amanda and said sth like "pls tell the sec 2s the entire company is behind them. Jia you and do nygg proud!" Thank you gaomin! It was kind of a relief after the performance as we were very nervous b4 that. There were so many ppl ok! My lil sis also saw me performing. The finale of the celebration was very cool as there were motorcycles coming in and all that. After everything, we took the bus back to nygh. When i asked some of our seniors abt our performance, they said it was very neat and they were impressed. Renice also told us, "you guys did a good job! well done!" b4 she went home.:) Thank you seniors! Oya. Thank you amanda, sandy and charis too!
