9th August
Wee hours of the morning
Opened my eyes to the world early in the morning.As i did that, my head was bombarded with the thoughts of fulfilling my wishes for the day;make myself proud.That was the thoughts which had crossed my mind at that time.It was not an illusion.Was instantly charged up with excitment,as i began to finalize on my red cross uniform.It was the day,i can't afford to have any errors on my uniform.Everything had to be perfect.That was what i thought.Or was it?When everything was checked and double checked,i took a shower.A very nice one i could say.
Hours later.
Left the house early at around 8am to meet the cadets from coral sec.Met Faezzah and Hidayah at Tampines Mrt station as i've left my boots at the hands of faezzah.Thanks gal for polishing it for me(:Anyway,the 3 of us was late.Sorry...for keeping you gals waiting.lol...took the train all the way to dhoby ghaut(hq)Went to plaza singapura before reporting as the coral peeps wanna have their breakfast.Went our seperate ways and met each other again at hq.Falled in on time.Surprisingly,there's no one absent.Darn.
Few hours later.
Made our way to the holding area.Marina promenade that is.I'm in bus 3.Reached there around 12 pm,had lunch and the inspection was conducted.Sadly,i wasn't in the main contingent.I'm in the reserves,to be more precise.That's okay.Somehow i wasn't chosen to march in,but i sure did got to march in the padang for all of the trainings.Ne shows 1&2,preview,common rehearsals.Yup,i've got the chance to march in every saturdays except for the actual day.It's time for the subs to have a chance,that was what one of the instructors told us.I was pissed off to be frank in the begining.But somehow cooled down.Those who were in the main contingent missed out on the fun things that we ,the reserves got to do and experienced.Which is...
We get to sit,they don't.They have to run here and there for practices.Which is tiring,no doubt in that.
We get to mingle around with cadets form other schools,they don't.They only got small opportunities after the trainings to talk.Which i doubt they did as they would most probably too tired to talk after all the runnings.
We get to have extra servings of the food,which they didn't.They only got lunch and dinner once each,which we could ask for more.
We get to walk around,they don't.We can stand up and walk around the tentage area whenever we're bored,or simply when our butts are too tired from all the sitting down.
We get to laugh,scream and talk loudly,they don't.They have to be well-behaved as there are other contingent looking out for them when they misbehaved.
We get to chase rats,they don't.Whenever the place is littered severly,we get the opportunity to chase rats from the sitting area.
We get to distribute bottled drinks,they don't.Who the heck do you think does that kind of job?At least now i know that,it was the reserves doing that all along.Applause to them.
We get to tell each other jokes/riddles/poem/watever you have in mind.they don't.We are very free.They aren't.
Lastly,we get the chance in a lifetime to bond with each other and to share secrets,shed some tears or simply be crazy!
See all the benefits that we benefited from?If you don't,it's too sad.Oh yeah,i'm missing out somethings.
We got to see the 21 firings of the cannon.They only can hear it.
We got to see the chinooks,and other flying objects that fly pass the padang.They can only hear and see a glimpse of it.
We get to SIT by the smelly RIVER.They can only stand and watch the calm waters.
We get to see the fireworks!!The most beautiful and breath-taking experience.They only got to hear and probably spoil their eardrums from it.
MOST OF ALL,WE CAN DO ALL OF THE FUN THINGS AND GET THE SAME THINGS THAT THEY GET!(:
By the end of the day,we as the reserves,get the same badge,goodie bag,foldable chair,tons and tons of food and drinks which the instructors fed us with.In conclusion,we get to keep all of the sweet memories which none of us could ever take away.The memories of the hard and long trainings,the tears of frustfrations,joy and basically humour that we shed.I just want to sum up that the things that happened during the trainings of ndp 05,totally changed my prespective of life now.Joining ndp had definitely widen up my knowledge and made me realised that good friends will always be there for you in times of good or bad.I certainly believed in that,as i've made some good friends in ndp 05.They will and would always remain in my heart.All the good times that we shared,i will always remember those days.
The farewell party which was organised by the instructors was touching.It managed to touch my heart and made me realised that this year's ndp is defintely the best that i've ever experienced.I've got to spent the whole day with my beloved red cross cadets from other schools,and not to forget those who are in the same school as me too.
NDP '05 ROCKS!!!I'M GONNA MISS ALL OF YOU GUYS!!!I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE SWEET MEMORIES THAT WE SHARED TOGETHER AS A UNIT.(:
For the last time,
RED CROSS!!!NDP 2005......huuuhaaaa!!!!(: gonna miss saying that.
like they say,every good things have got to come to an end.I guess this is one of them.
