alright then I shall update my blog for hosimin (: well this few days have been really emotional days. in more ways than one. i shall start off with pop first.
--Passing Out Parade 2006--
met the others at KFC for lunch and we were rushing to get to school by 12.25 because we have to fall in at 12.30 to learn flag raising. guess who our encik is. yup Encik Wen Bin. he kept saying that we were rubbish grr. but we were taught flag raising and flag lowering. who knew that such a simple process like these can be made so complicated?
Then we helped to get the place ready for POP by moving benches and flower pots and stuff. but luckily for us, it rained so we spent our time preparing our performance in the class. But our squad was very noisy and not very cooperative, so we didnt get much done ): After that we were given 10 minutes to change and we did the sizing drill for the parade, and as usual im the shortest. bleh.
During the rehearsal, quite alot of people fell out and eve fainted. gave me quite a scare because she was standing right next to me. then during the actual parade, alot of people fell out because they cant stand it. and eve fainted again. gave me another shock phew. but the parade + rehearsal was really very long and it was a miracle i survived that long. During the changing over parade, we were all really sad as we watched
sgt mam xinying march away and corporal Tiffany take her place. yep but we all didnt cry because it was obviously a parade.
after the parade ended, we had dinner. Me and Jason both had stomachache and we both agreed on one thing. not to eat KFC's shrooms or shrooms sauce again. cos we both ate that and got stomachache. eek. didnt have much appetite for dinner. we went to change after that and went to the hall for social night. i have to say that the std 3s really outdid themselves. the theme was disco and the decorations were simply awesome. the whole hall was dark with spotlights and a disco ball right in the centre of the hall and the disco ball sent lights everywhere. it was simply fantastic (:
When the std 4s came, everyone jumped to their feet and cheered, welcoming them. wow, they all dressed super nicely! the girls wore some dainty slippers or heels and they looked sexy :D the guys were also dressed well, in button-down shirts. then the std 1s performed their item. it was ok, kinda like what we did last year, except theirs is some standard 1 idol. nubbad for their first pop, but couldnt really hear them. but all in all, could see that there was alot of effort put in (:
then it was our turn (: the skit was erm...i dont know. but the dance was really fun (: especially the wildcats! so even though some people may think that our performance flopped, the most important is that the standard 4s enjoyed it and that we had fun performing it (: i got super high after the dance (: oh and throughout the night yi'an and i were crapping all the way (: then the std 3s. their decorations were great, their performance was great, everything was great! theirs was about the ideal boyfriend/girlfriend (: the cutest pair was cpl weisong and yahui (: heh and cpl tiffany can dance! :D
then we had the seniors performance (: haha as usual, sir kinkeong and sir dickson were their funny selves but the funniest that night was sir kianyong (: he pretended to be liang popo and i have to say that he did a really good job! (: their performance was really funny :D the std 4s finally performed and i have to say that their performance rocked the whole house! the dance they did was really difficult and we could tell that they put in a LOT of effort in learning the dance and stuff. and in between dances the girls all switched from pants to skirts! WOW and they didnt even take like a minute. they changed in seconds! :o and sgt yingxiao and staff zhengwei can breakdance man. all in all, their performance was really, really great (:
oh and the whole std 2 squad was so excited that mam xinying paired up with staff jianhui. they were cheering everytime they saw them together! i felt really embarassed for them lol.
but they do look cute together! we had some lucky draw thing and cindy won a adidas toilet roll! :D we presented our souvenirs to the std 4s next. we sewed pillows for them and i think that they liked it (: i gave sgt yuhan hers and eli made me tell her that she sewed the pillow -.- lol. then the std 4s came around to hug all of us.
haha mam xinying was the funniest. when she hugged me, she said: szeying! you have to grow taller!! and i replied her with: believe me, i AM trying to (: haha she laughed when she heard that (: mam xinying. we will never EVER forget her. she was the one who brought our squad to greater heights and although we had alot of conflict at first, our whole squad grew to love her. then staff yanwen started crying when i hugged her. ): me and tzu hsiang were trying to comfort her and she told us seriphos people to jiayou (: but how can i when i wont be a seriphoian next year? ): and rebekah, we'll miss her tons. we had alot of fun during comp trains together and she always makes us laugh and once you get past her prickly exterior (:P) shes actually a really nice and warm person inside (:
mam constance is also someone we wont forget. she always gives us so much advice and she cares alot for us (: and she knows my cousins! :D cindy started crying, then hosimin, then i started crying because everything just sank in. the std 4s leaving us, ME leaving my beloved squad. well the tears just simply poured out. after we got some of our dignity back, we had mass dance and chengtng and cake for supper (: me and cindy kept going back for seconds! :D we love chengtng, don't we cindy? (:
we had interaction with the std 4s and they made a video for us. when we read mam xinying's msg to us on the video, everyone started crying. im sure even the guys in our squad cried too. the msg was really touching and when she mentioned the ip part, my tears simply came again. and yi'an was crying too. i didnt want to cry again but i could hear everyone including yi'an sniffing around me and yi'an turned to me and said: szeying, im crying! that did it. i started crying again and the ip thing was the trigger. and some say that the instructors were all crying behind. even the guys. even mam xinying. it's like our squad went through so much with them, even though we had so much difficulties. but we came out of it together. and they were NOT a horrible batch of instructors. they did not FAIL to bring our squad to greater heights. who we are today, we owe it to them. if not for their constant pushing, we would truly be a lousy squad.
we failed to appreciate them earlier. so when we finally appreciate them, its too late. its too late to regret already. all we can do is just to look back on all the happy memories we had and treasure them. we will all miss them and im sure they will all miss us too. thank you, std 4s for all you've done for us. You really are a terrific batch of instructors and I thank God that we had a chance to meet you guys. you all have changed my life in one way or another. thank you (:
then they gave out photo frames they made with two pictures of our squad and dvd of the video they showed us. and inside we got a personal message from one of the instructors. sgt nicholas wrote mine (: then all too soon interaction time ended. everyone was crying loudly and sniffing while the std 4 instructors all gave their farewell message to us. this shows how much they have touched our lives and made a difference in them.
sigh. we only had 3 hours to sleep and we slept on hard chairs grr. area cleaning the next day was tedious and we scrapped any plans of meeting cting and the rest at plaza sing and we went straight home. i slept from 9 to 5.30 ok. that was how tired i was. sigh. i really miss them ):
today we had maths test. i cried again. BECAUSE the paper mr hia gave us had so many errors and i mixed them up when he told us the errors. so the equation that should be changed in ques 3, i changed it in ques 2 instead. so i couldnt do the whole paper and thats 16 marks. i cried when i found out. that was the stupidest thing i ever did. 16 marks just poof. gone like that. ): but thank God for my parents. they knew it was an honest mistake. they didnt scold me, they comforted me and told me to be more careful next time. and to try harder for the next test (:
and when i went to watch the video again, i cried again. so now you know why i said that the past few days have been emotional ones for me. and JNCO course is this weekend. i just hope we can make it through TOGETHER AS ONE. not even encik can get us down.
