Went to the N6 literature seminar today at St nicks, met Teng Ping on the same train, met sudarshan at the mrt, and went together with him. Had a lecture on how to write well for unseen and presentations on the texts. SJI's one rocked!! We had a cool video with a nice song, "Teardrops on my guitar" plus a neat presentation.

It ended quite early, so took 74 to nanyang to go watch the Nanyang Modern Dance Society's "A Hatful of Stars 2". Supposed to meet fel first but fel went off with her friends so i stood there at the side gate, looking at the security guard who was looking at me look at her. Aik Hwee and Tze Han arrived later on, but they decided to go hwa chong first. So i was there alone again. Finally fel arrived and was about to walk in and almost got stopped by security guard, cos i was wearing my school uniform. Went into the school and walked around since we were pretty early and fel's friends went to play the swings. They even have swings in school!! Dang cool. And this auto gate as well.
Hahahaha yeps, went inside the Siew May auditorium for the show. The music was great, dancers were stunning, dance routines were neat, in short, the whole production was brilliant. They invited intellectually disabled kids from D'Artistes to dance as well, and i thought it was real sweet and cool to have them perform as well. Adds more meaning to the title of the show. They danced with a lot of passion and the little boy dancing was real cute. Hahahaha :)
Before the show started, fel was like "Where's your flower for Cheryl?" Me: "Oh, woops i don't have one." Yea, so i decided to fold a paper heart and write some well wishes on it. Another problem popped up- i didn't have any nice origami paper or marker pens, so had to use foolscap paper and a G-2 pen. Yes, i know, foolscap paper and a pen. Real pathetic of me. Hahahaha and i had to fold the paper heart in the dark cos the show was commencing. Luckily the paper heart turned out quite alright. Then i wrote on it and used the word "great" twice. Something like "Congrats on the great show. It was great". ARGH It should have been "It was cool/fun/nice/etc" but i had to write "great" again. I bet Ms Chia would roll her eyes and kill me if she found out that i used such english. Dang, so was looking around for people selling flowers(according to fel) but couldn't find any, so had to pass foolscap paper heart, with bad descriptions, to Cheryl, in front of her parents. I almost died of embarrassment.

Yeps, after that went back to woodlands with fel. Talked a lot about primary school life on the bus. I realise i've forgotten a whole chunk of primary school life. Sigh, age has caught up with me. Time to slow down the aging process. Hahhahaha and something funny happened at the bus-stop. Fel's friend asked fel whether i was her brother. Hahahaha like woah, since when did me and fel look alike? Hahahahaha dang funny.


Ticket!


$5 Program booklet! Very nicely done.

Yeps, that's about it. :D

Been quite a busy week, monday was founder's day, last founder's day for us. :( Drilled the 5 cadets marching in supporting contigent on tues, wed, thurs. Had training on friday, drilled the rest of the cadets. Heard that the 5 cadets' performance was bad during their 1st rehearsal, so that would mean more drill practices next week. To get my 100 hours to CIP, i have to go for some trial cross country run on wednesday. Think they're gonna make us run.

Went for drama club's play on saturday. Titled "Out of Order", it's supposed to be about problem kids, problem parents, problem teachers, problem girlfriends and problem life. It was real short, like about an hour, expected more cos it's $15/ticket. They even had an short analysis of the play where you get to ask director and actors questions. The only cool and funny part of the play was when the scholars started speaking in vietnamese and tagalog. Very entertaining though i hear the scholars talking almost everyday in the toilet. Hahahhaahaha

Had phototaking on friday! Got to wear no.1. Luckily the hall's air-conditioned, would have died in the heat. Jun Hong was real nice to give up his pace stick cos he already has a lanyard. So i took the pace stick and eugene didn't get to pose with it. Muhahahaha After the phototaking, someone took my peak cap!! So i have a peak cap that's 2 times smaller now. I've no idea how the swap took place. Now i've to go hunt for mine. (To all NCC Land guys, if you are reading this, check your peak caps. If it has a slightly torn cap strap at the corner, it should probably be mine. So please return it! Thanks!! :D)


Epaulettes. I think they're the coolest part of the uniform. :)


Rank + epaulettes + collar pins!


Empty no.1 shirt.

Booklet. A lot of the Simpsons characters inside.

A pity you couldn't come.
