today has been extremely tiring yet memorable and fun too. (:
first thing in the morning was Cadet Leader Interview at Fajar Sec. walked from Petir LRT to the sch and we were DRENCHED. it was really raining cats and dogs. anyways, i was damn nervous for the interview. during the interview itself, they asked crappy questions. and i gave crappy answers. haha. i hope but don't really expect to pass the interview. firstly, cause there's a quota. only 2 CLs per corps. so, that means, out of the 4 of us, at most only 2 of us will become CLs. secondly, i don't think i did that well. but oh wells. let bygones be bygones. i just can't wait for ROD. >.<
after that, went home. and in the afternoon, went out again with my family to Marina Bay. we went to watch the NDP preview (Family Day). my sister is performing under her school, so we got tickets to watch the preview today. the last and only time i watched it live was in P5. so, decided to go just for fun and to DESTRESS. though we didn't get the goody bags. only those students from schools got them. ): but at least, there was food.
the place was of course, crowded. parked at Suntec City and had to walk damn far to reach the place. we sat at the green section, right at the end cause we were kinda late. haha. our view was kinda blocked by the spotlights. but later, i realised, we got the better side of the place.
first was all the singing and dancing. blabla. i never did like this part. quite dull. just sat down and ate and ate and criticised many things. haha. the only highlight from this segment was the supposed dragon boat showcase. there were three teams from temasek jc, acs (if i'm nt wrong) and of course, BP ((: was excited for our sch. they were supposed to race to the platform. but i realised that it was only a stimulation. they used motor-boats and the teams were nowhere in sight. what a spoiler. haha. must save their energy, i guess. oh yah, i saw steph. she was sitting in the row in front of me but not directly in front. not sure whether she saw me. haha. what a coincidence.
things began to spice up during the parade and ceremony. normal stuff. salutations, inspection, march pass, etc. then, there was the SAF, navy, air force, etc showcase. it was cool. at the national stadium, u can at most only see the land and air vehicles. but here, there was all the high speed boats. very cool. ok, i admit i'm abit jakun also lahh. haha. i mentioned about being lucky to be seated at that end cause we were near the shear (is that how u spell it?) bridge. alot of happenings there. like the navy or SAF (i can't rmb) scaling off the bridge and diving into the river. cool. and many more of such things. i loike. ooh, and did i mention that there was this gorgeous SAF guy at where i was sitting. omg. so cute lah. haha. (:
then, when evening fell, there were all of the normal colourful and entertaining performances. nothing that special. but the theme of water was really emphasised. and they really made full use of the river. cool. and i like the lightings, especially the spotlights, the ones like those search-lights. we never saw such things at National Stadium. saw my sister's school perform. too bad i didn't have super vision so that i can see her. haha. lastly, was the finale. i absolutely loved the fireworks. i personally think it's better than last time. there were fireworks from the platform itself, from somewhere in the river, and from this tall building near the river. it was nice. a spectacular sight with a breath-taking view of the city by the river as an incredible background. NICE. (:
as you can see, i obviously enjoyed myself though it's abit too early to be in the national day mood. haha. performance-wise, it's quite the same. but the effect is somehow more special because of the element of water. and the breath-taking city view. it was nice. definitely destressing. if u have the chance of watching it live, don't waste it cause it wont be the same watching it on TV. and the fireworks aren't as nice in the TV. ((:
wow. damn long post. haha. enough said. i'm dead beat. ciao!
