Secondary One NPCC Annual Swearing-In Ceremony

I made my way down to Greenridge Secondary and bought 3 tubes of mentos as I thought of giving the cadets to eat after the event. Sadly, I gave the aunty the wrong amount of cash. It was $0.90 each, yet I gave her $2.10.

Okay, back at Greenridge, I hoped the parade hasn't end. I went up, changed in my full uniform, all ready to enjoy the parade. The AC of Area 19 was there, saying his speech which ended shortly after my arrival.

And 'oh', I thought. I have to change into pt kit then. So I went back to the toilet but somehow it just wouldn't open. I was so embarrassed when other cadets walked pass seeing me trying to 'bang' the door open. Thankfully, one of them kindly told me that the staff toilet is locked, then did I realise I tried to open the WRONG DOOR. Lol.

Skip skip skip.... Let's skip to the Singing Competition. Our school has two brave Secondary 1 cadets who volunteered to represent our school - Izzul and Nadia.

I can say that they really did their best. For Izzul, I heard that he sang pretty well before going up on stage. But because of some technical problems, he wasn't able to perform his best. It was sad. It's all the song's fault! Why wasn't it in the disc? Hmm.. Nah.. No one's to blame.

For Nadia, she was shaking..! I saw her shaking as she walks down the stage. haha..

Anyway, it was a tremendously good effort put in. What's more!

YISS WON THE CHEERING COMPETITION! We were first with Fajar Secondary.

A total of 26 cadets were present there and then.

They were a super hyper group when they can be one.
(ok.. I don't know what I'm saying)

I have one more photo to upload which I have not gotten it from Ms Kala. It has me inside! !! ;D
I'll upload it when I get it.

Oh yes, about the mentos. .. I decided to give one each to the two singers.

Feeling excited.

I went back to YISS to prepare the Sec1 NPCC cadets for tomorrow's Annual Swearing-in. I feel so relaxed speaking to them. I feel excited about tomorrow just that I need to rush to Greenridge Secondary School before the parade starts. I just can't wait to hear my cadets sing as they represent our school in the singing contest. And of course hoping that the cheers would just turn out fine . .

I want to learn how to use drill cane to do drills. Kind of cool. Someone please teach me.

I am trying to find back that passion and enthusiasm I have for NPCC.

Get it back. Get it back. Get it back man..

Today is special.

Today is special. CRS class ended at 16:00PM and as usual, I would like to find a quiet spot to do some revision. There, I switched on my laptop and got ready to start on my first topic. While skimming through the pages of my notes, I heard footsteps. Two well-dressed ladies approached me and asked if they could use my laptop to retreive some documents from their gmail and send for printing.

Being kind, I said, "Ok."

After meddling with my laptop, they asked for my admin number. (hmm.. something's fishy here. ..) Well, I didn't give. Also, my lappie could not connect to the printer they wanted to connect. Well, too bad. Then, they asked for a thumbdrive. I saw that they really needed to print those documents urgently, so I lend to them worrying that they wouldn't return. (But not really worrying). After a long wait, I realised they were back. And.. Back with a can of milo.

"Na.. This is for you."

"Oh, thank you."

I've got a milo in return for my kindness. Gees.
It was that milo that spent the time with me for the rest of an hour before my next lesson at night.
That's why, today is special. (:

Bee in a Soup?

Dancing is fabulously fun. We were at O School again as we continued the choreography. The 1 hour practice felt like 2 hours. And now my neck and hips are acheing. hahAHE. I want to learn as much as I can now. Even though not much technics are in our choreo, like shur-ney, piorette, high kicks, but I still enjoy much. Now to do some research and ensure I look like a scary corpes arising from the dead. muhahaha! I hope to personally OWN the choreo!!!!!! (just as Ryan said)

I was just pondering on what Ryan said before he dismissed us: Make sure you teach them ah.. The 'them' is refering to the 6 of us? Or the 'them' is refering to all the modern girls? Do I have to make sure all of 'them' learn by Monday? Hmm.. This, I have to really check with him again.


Herbal soup for the day was some herbs with some dead bee. EEEWW.. Help! No way.. Imagine drinking the soup and you see some hairy insect legs moving closer to your lips. What's worst, a black, black, round, round thing which is the head. GAW . . ! Anyway, we postponed that herbal drink to another day. Instead, we had a warm bak-ku-teh soup. AHHHHH> . ..

Leader?

This was the first time people in SP called me a leader. I thought of remaining a low profile for a while and letting people be the leader for sometime.

It's my first time in O School. My fine dreams of it being a huge hall with many smaller rooms was slightly tarnished. There were smaller rooms but no huge halls. But I love the floor. It's so clean, unlike MPH. ;) No wonder Ryan says MPH is full of dust.

We're going to do a glamourous yet a bit of horror side effect. Somehow we'll just have to do it. I like it. haha.. We have to do actions with force, looking like some kind of zombie. Wicked awesome!

More to come tomorrow... more to come.. . :D

A valuable lesson learnt yesterday and today:

I learnt that I should not laugh at inappropriate timings or else I will be questioned.

And when questioned, I'll be dumbfounded.

Which is not a good position to be in.

done for it.

My nose bled. Once last night and twice today.
I've completed the Mid Year Youth Departments' Evaluation. Yeah..

Where can I sleep now?

Here I am in camp, sick. Having this dreadful flu. Should I have come for Day1? Should I have stayed at home to rest? Yesterday, we did nothing much except going to bugis to buy leotards, going to orchard and tire myself. I was in search for food for the entire trip while others were in search for clothes and assessories. hmm.. I want to sleep and rest my body. But I can't. I don't know what time will they dance until. Where can I sleep now?

They dance almost all night. Incredible.. I laid in my army sleeping bag trying to get some rest. Then, voices from a distance intruded into my sleep. And they got louder, louder and louder. "Save me!" I cried to myself.

Soon, music blasted like never before. I wanted to courteously ask to lower down, but I wimped out. After 3hours, I forced myself into dreamland..

I'm awake! It's 8am. I feel much better. No more flu!! Yipee. We got prepared for dance practice. I like today's warm ups because almost everything done was almost near the floor.

I've decided to go home.

OH deAR.

Today I went to HQ and I am definitely still lost in that huge area of white buildings. I found out how to get to the store, realised that some FI's office is just beside it and didn't realised that time passes so fast when I was just helping to pack badges.

It wasn't that bad. Quite relaxed. Thank God the FI wasn't at all fierce? Can I say that? haha//.

I was treated to chocolate cookies? (so good..?) and got a gift - some keychain? (which was stated 'I have extra ma..').

This is just weird. Maybe it's just nothing. Anyway, I can listen to my mp3 while doing duty. As if I'm back in YISS, helping out the teachers in their offices. Oh yea, don't know whether his hands clean or not.. After eating a cookie then push my head once. EEee.. And I saw IT!. YES! IT IS DEFINITELY IT. A housefly in the office. WAHAHHAHUHU.. And I had to fan it off a few times. Hmm.. I have to go back on Tuesday to clog more hours. I better get it right this time.

Well, on the way back, I realised how extremely noob I was in directions and roads. OH deAR.

An article: 'Chipmunk' Emma Watson
Reference: http://entertainment.sg.msn.com/Celebrity-Gossip/article.aspx?cp-documentid=3457553

Celebrity life is hard to continue for long. Come to think of it, people will get sick of the fame they get (putting money aside). It is like a life their living for others, to please others and to look good for others to see/ admire?

Well, I was reading an article about Emma Watson (By Bang, Updated: 7/15/2009) looking forward to concentrating on her studies and living a 'normal' teenager after shooting the final two ‘Harry Potter’ movies. Seeing a jovial looking girl acting with all her heart, and now grown, wanting a ‘normal’ teenager experience for just a bit, it is quite like life. I believe deep within each celebrity’s heart, there sure will be a moment where they would want a day to just live freely and simply for themselves.

I SEE MY NAME!!

I AM IN!! YEAH!
In fact... 4 of us are in!

All of us are in!
All 39 auditionist, ALL IN!

Haha.. I'm going crazy.

*Jumping for joy*

*Jumping up and down*

STUDY STUDY, DON't BE LAZY!

TRYING TO COME UP WITH A STUDY TIMETABLE IS SO HARD.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START. O_____O

T_T

Bye~ Going to continue with my timetable.

1 more stop to go.

Hmm.. My name's not there.
I'm not in.

It was great and fun.! I did my best and have no regrets.
OH.. Irritating.. After my audition did my brother only telling me that I danced hiphop like I was marching, telling me that I did not complete some of my steps. HAHA! Funny. -.-



Well, five more days to go.
I will have a go for modern dance! XD

How to shake it all out? O-O

I can. Audition.

Eating my lunch.
Had a tiring morning for workout.
It's in a rush.

Dancing to the 'ins and outs',
Taking a break.
Muscles ache.

It's free.
It's style.
I need practice.

Pant pant panting.
I hear a voice.
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God ; trust also in me.
John 14:1

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:13

“The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.”
Habakkuk 3:19

Then my strength is regained.
For He is the author and perfector of my faith, my life.

Yes,
I can.
I can.
I can...

?Approachable?

Am I easily approachable? I seemed to be one for strangers outside. Recently, I have encountered a couple of strangers asking me for directions outside or even near my house. Strange. Well I am definitely glad to help.

GDOP.

FAntastic! The BLUE sea of ushers gathered.

I took away a chicken burger and Jollybean from Westmall all the way to Expo, and I finally get to enjoy them.

Ushering is interesting, we have to practice courtacy yet be firm in what we say.

Wait a minute.

It's easier said than done.

It's hard trying to compact people into the middle, being a Singaporean I couldn't have known it better.

If I were to be one of them, I'm sure I would also reserve a seat for my family/friends who are coming later. Oh well...

I felt like jumping during worship, but didn't. hehe.

oozZE

Waa.. Madness.. Trying to complete a PowerPoint by one day is ridiculous.
The thinking process is like trying to oozze brain juices out from our brains - every single drop./

SAve me!

This is bad. I am getting sick. This means I can't attend lesson for at least a day.

It was a horrible feeling. Really horrible - wet nose, sore throat, lethargic body.

Met Jie Cheryl yesterday for lunch and ate porraige in school for the first time. It's simply warm and appetizing. I felt a little better after that.

Then, I chose to skip EC tutorial and go home to rest. SAve me!

Indeed, I did not attend school today. Thank God I didn't have a fever or else I'll be a suspect of the new virus - H1N1. Oh no.. haha~

Daddy brought me to the doctor later where I was given anti-biotics, flu/fever and cough medicine. Aww.. That feeling..

Having slept for almost the whole day, I got better in the evening. (;

SEssions seSSIONS...

Back from Dance Sessions. The seniors of SDZ helped us clean up our steps.
I need to work on more groove for hiphop. (:

For modern, we were 1 hour late because we stayed longer for hiphop. Catching up was tough. But we tried our very best. I need to really work on my turn.

Chelsea Jiayou JIAYOHHHH!!!!!!!!!

So Freestyle how? how? how??? XD

FUn. EXCITEMENt. ENJOYMENt. WILd.

LAST Station! LASER QUEST. YEAHHH.!A sudden maintainence was called upon. We made a wasted trip and had to rush back to school for ITAB lesson.Later, we went down again and asked the 3 'W's along - Wilson, Wee Peng and William. Ahh.. It's the nicest picture but I was cut off at the right side. ):



Yay! I'm back in the picture.
RED TEAM OWNS VICTORY! Even though I was the lowest in score for my team. hehhehs`~

Not to forget Chubin, she's our camera xiao meimei.

IMM IMM!!

It was time for us to get started on our IDEAS CA2.! We settled at IMM and zoomed into Diaso. It was a mass killer. So many things to look at but nothing to talk about.

I have got a bad touch point. I got banged by the arrow door. -.-

At THE CAFE' CARTIER - woow, nature! plants! sofa! XDEileen and Hwee Chin, WAITRESS OF THE HOUR. Helped us to order our food.WAit and Wait...Everyone else ordered this.SOUP OF THE DAY.

Then we went up stairs and met DR. FISH.
It gave us a SPA for $5.Kristen and my legs. Ticklish sensation at first which turned to enjoyment.Chubin couldn't take it. haha~We can be seen by so many passer-bys.FRESH & CLEAN legs. Hwee Chin's dead skins were removed! - eaten.

IT's STRICTLY DANCE ZONE -.-

CHELSEA's legs and stomach muscles are aching. ouch.

Dance practice yesterday was surperb! Fun.
BUt kind of fast to catch up with the last part of the choreography.

I like the warm ups. Really challenging, especially the modern dance's krutches.

INCREDIBLE.MADNESS.BUT FUN.

HIPHOP.
It has all the YEAH, and the YO! WASSUP, and the WOoH!

Up beat and Down beat.

The Lord gave me strength for the next day. Thank God I survived!

Are ALL Mothers on Earth the SAME??

No No No... There are fat ones, skinny ones, short ones, tall ones, more and more!

Today, we celebrated Mothers' Day at my Ah Ma's house. The greatest chef I have ever known. Her vegetables are soft and juicy; the fish is fresh with a tender, delicious taste; however I didn't get to eat her own cooked prawns, the first 2 batches were done by my helper.

Look at her signature post when she frys her thing. haha~

And that's my AH MA! =)

Today, suddenly made a Mothers' Day gift for Ah Ma. Nice?
This is my Ah Ma and Ah Gong. Lovely couple! My relatives said Ah Gong in the drawing looks more shuai. haha~

A lot of them said it's nice, thank you. Ah Gong said this gift 'you jia zhi'. Waa.. I hear already feel really good. =)

Can you see the strawberry cake above??? Yeah. We ate that! Nice, but kind of sweet, with a layer of cheese in the middle and a crust at the bottom. xp yumm.

SAVE THE EGG!!!!!!!!

Group B's first parachute egg made yeasterday. It succeeded HALFWAY. LOL.
It definitely slowed down but did not have sufficient cussion, so it cracked a little.

2nd attempt, it burst because it flipped. aha. There goes an omellete! x)

errgh! MOB!!

THE EGG CRACKED!
We killed 5 eggs in total. (Including the one today.)
Marvalous.

I think that the time limit given is really too short. 20 mins? How are we going to come up with quality work.? If more time is given and our egg still cracks, I am really ok with it. But 20mins? haha. Wow... Ridiculous, I don't like rush work.

Well, I'll just take it as a lesson to learn. 5 marks of effort just disappeared like this. Gorh.. It's one third of 15 marks. But, I can't say much. I came home and got told off by my brother, because I did not fight of the 5 marks, I did not take my stand. Well, I will next time. Things must not be rushed again.

First Presentation in Poly

Finalising EC! Yes! We're done. Oh.. Next round would be my turn to be the leader. More stuffs to do loh ..

I am nervous yet excited for IDEAS presentation. Glory to God that I would be able to come up with such amazing product.

I was praying to God to help me calm down, my leg was stiffening and my heart was at a rather fast rate. At the end, I pulled it through. Wow.. A-MA-ZING..

After motivating Hwee Chin to change her product, it turned out better. More wild and waky!
Kristen's product was interesting too. It's cool how she really find the material's name, what polyestrene. Something like that.

Can't wait for the results to be out on next Monday!

Till then, I'll be waiting.

Monopoly? How?

I have never played monopoly this way before until today.

My MOB Group embarked on a journey to mac'donalds for lunch then to the main library for some bonding session contributed by Charls.

We took rather long to play it. A lot of planning and strategies to make. =)
I was grouped wit Faith and we won!


Faith was so being fascinated by the jailer.

This game really thought us how to plan.

Fun.

Why Are We WAitng???

Yes, all of us were waiting outside then inside the room. Where in the world is our teacher.? The clock's ticking away. Glad that I have met Hwee Chin on the way to class if not I would have lost my way. Thank you Hwee Chin. (I know you would be reading this. hehe.) Hwee Chin is the sweaty girl, sweats ALL DAY.

My Fish & Co. brochure saved her. =) All day dreaming... ...

Thirsty Cynthia.? Lidan didn't know I took her.
Late?Lost.?

I caught the hiding Faith.

Off we go`~

Group A's 3rd SGO

Kayaking~ We didn't end up in the water but some of us got wet by the rain. In the end we did not get to go, but definitely, it was a memorable one. We sang praises to God until the rain stopped and recited our STARS UNITED memory verse:

Philippians 2:12-16a

v12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, v13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
v14 Do everything without complaining or arguing, v15 so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe v16 as you hold out the word of life—

Some pictures..

At least we got our life jackets on..

GROUP A ..!

The PAIRS:

Jia Hui and Faith

Jie Grace and Jie Cheryl

Rachel and Ruiqi
