n.e show
Oh well, it was the n.e show yesterday at the national stadium when we performed in front of mostly pri 5 kids who were all very very excited about watching the ndp. The n.e show is officially the beginning of us performing in front of a real crowd instead of just silent, empty seats at the stadium wif jus the SAF staff watching us. We could hear the noise from the crowd even before we entered the stadium as Sharon Au and many other TCS stars led them in some cheering and intro-ed some performances by sec sch students. It was really funny as the crowd actually echoed the RSM when he shouted the commands. Every pri 5 kid was so excited that i think they actually waved the small national flag included in the fun-pack for the whole parade! When the national anthem was played, they sang even louder than the pa system. It was a really good experience having such a responsive crowd(hehe, wonder if they really know what they're responding to...). All of us put up a pretty good show(better performance than during other time) but din know why the colour party(those bearing flags) were quite off-form, did not match in step, people on the wrong foot etc. After the parade, we were ushered to the indoor stadium to wait for our chartered SBS buses(cos priority is given to the pri 5 kids! we had to wait for the whole performance to end and for the buses to return to take us back to camp lorz). Our RSM told us that if we reached camp b4 2330hrs, we'd be allowed to book out. Problem is, we only kallang at ard 1215hrs! Everyone was very sian diaoz when minutes and hours went by at the indoor stadium. The soldiers were seated at the east end of the indoor stadium while the other 3 were occupied by Boon Lay Sec, Deyi Sec and some uniformed grps on the 3rd side. The uniformed grps began singing cheers to burn time(reminded me of my sec sch days when i was in council and we led cheers all the while...lol) and b4 long, they started to 'bomb' each other(girl guides, girl's brigade and npcc). It was quite entertaining and b4 we knew it, they started, "something bomb, something bomb, something bomb to ARMY bomb!" When we didn't respond, they started boo-ing us and the arti soldiers also boo-ed them back(lol, it was really childish but entertaining). Then, the uniformed grp started a 'kallang wave' wif the SCDF and arti soldiers responding but we, the armour soldiers, were too shagged to respond. Most of us were asleep while those awake were lazy and couldn't be bothered to join in the fun. They started many kallang waves ending wif us not responding and they boo-ed us on each occasion! They got tired of it and when the other sec sch students returned from their performances, the SCDF started a 'kallang wave' in the opposite direction(making armour the last to do the wave, if we do of course...). They responded well and b4 long, some of the armour ppl start to join in the wave and the wave went rd the indoor stadium at least 5 times, haha. All this 'nonsense' started at ard 2100hrs and ended approx. 1+hr later. From then on, i fell asleep and woke up, fell asleep and woke up until ard 1215hrs when we were told we could go liaoz. The Boon Lay Sec students were really hyper-active all the while when i slept and woke lorz, the noise level was terrible!! When we were in the indoor stadium, we had to adhere to strict rules...we had to put our weapons and our SBO on the floor and we were restricted from putting our legs on other seats(tt is, kiao ka lor) to avoid dirtying the seats. We were also not allowed to eat our night snacks there. The arti and guards, who were less disciplined, violated those rules and so the armour ppl, being very guai, were allowed to leave 1st(much to our pleasure, =P). When we got back to camp, we sent in our weapons and took our bath, packed our bags and prepared to sleep for a few hrs b4 booking out at 0600hrs. Most of us went to sleep in our civillian attire so that we could catch more sleep(no need to change mah, den can wake up later, lol, lazy hor?). Our free time out of camp this wk was definitely 'eaten up' by them and won't be returned lorz...kns...
