express yourself day. 4S theme was retro but apparently i looked more like a gypsy. camwhoring was fun yo!
it's friday. me and shalu were like finding something amiss just now after school. like how come we are so free on a friday? no more NP activities. the juniors are in their camp now and i envy them. i miss pulau ubin. ok my heart feels heavy as i'm typing. i knew very well that after POP, all activities would come to a halt and studying full steam is now my only responsibility. but actually i already felt the emptiness during the june holidays. this year june there were no courses to attend, no nothing except for a few extra trainings during the last week.
looking back, cedar npcc is a choice worth making. joined in in the year 2005 and formed the squad SIRIUS:D. became part of area 5:D. not forgetting maams and juniors. and got to know people from all over through the major parades and camps. came 2007 and i was in the logistics department with three other kambings:D.
a quick scan through of the highlights of every year.
sec 1: NCO campfire(the most enthusiastic), Annual Camp (the most meaningful)
sec 2: SYF opening ceremony (the most perfect drill prac i've ever went through was the drill prac with maams to train us for the syf), sec 2 Adventure Training Camp, Annual Camp, courses
sec 3: NP Annual Parade, NCO camp (the toughest), Thailand CIP trip, NCO training courses, sec 3 Adventure Training Camp, school NDP, Annual Camp, OBSabah
sec 4: High Ropes Challenge, SPF-NPCC badge ceremony(i forgot to take photo with mum who came all the way from home to bukit timah just to see my 8 seconds of glory. stupid.), sec3 NCO camp
i miss the long bus rides to the HTA, the abundant food they serve during breaks, doing drills in a contingent, the rifle, the marching band! and haha i've no idea why they like to shout "WATCH YOUR FRONT, SEDI...A!". like, watch?
SIRIUS, WE MAY HAVE STEPPED DOWN, BUT OUR FRIENDSHIP HAS NOT ALRIGHT! we have gone through thick and thin together and i will never forget those scoldings and punishments. and i love how we could come together and help settle personal problems like that friday we stayed back after parade just to ensure nothing happens to her.
i will post photos of my POP presents next. haven't been in contact with the internet, now i'm off to squadmates' blogs to read how they feel. radio on standby lest i breakdown.
