my blog has become QUITE dead. anyway, i have been really busy for the past few weeks, even though i was one of the people who finished all my holiday homework by the third week.
redcrossSYF'06
i love SYF! haha. you people made my day! anyway, at the first few trainings of syf, i didn't really like the instructors and i quite disliked the sec2s in redcross as they couldn't march and boy, were they VERY childish. mans. they are still little kids. screaming and running. but i learnt to cope with that, as i was once like that too, i think. then, on one of the internal trainings, a vi came to platoon d and started to coach us. i was the timer and it was tiring. we came to know him as desmond-sir. man was he dangerous, strict, disiplined and he made my blood boil. then, on the 2nd combined training at HTA, desmond sir just came across me while we were rehearsing for the parade and he made me the i/c of that day. i was very worried that i didn't make his expectations. i pushed myself to show professionalism. with the leadership qualities i had, i led the contingent. i was so afraid that i'd screw up. desmond-sir was like "fiona, do ______" and "fiona, take ______" and "fiona, make sure that _____" and "fiona, are you sure ____" and stuff like that. thus, it came to be that the whole of redcross syf people knew my name. they'll tease me on desmond-sir and whatever.
as the trainings passed, desmond sir came to like pick on me more. it was like "fiona, answer this and answer that". anyway, i also made new friends. friends from other school. i feel that the times that we most bonded was the time at the combined rehearsal at the national stadium. i then had friends from cedar, st margarets, scgs, compassvale, raffles girls, jurong west, victoria, raffles insitution, nan chiau and more. the usual vis which took us were qingxiang sir, david sir, janessa ma'am, desmond sir, max sir and maybe a few more others. on one particular combined training at hta, me and fahliza were appointed the role of timers for the whole marching contingent. btw, the bus ride from hq to hta was a very long journey so we had time to rest on the bus back and forth. i remember that there was one time when i was resting on the bus and then was awoken by this raffles girl called si ling. raffles girls are SMART. si ling can become a champion debator. she was just too hard to argue with. she's a brillant girl and she's sec2. and because of that, we became friends. i think i have to mention this again, it's because of desmond sir that everyone in the marching contingent know my name. FIONA.
then, on one of the internal trainings, desmond-sir created a name for the left marker. man was he tall but not as tall as desmond-sir. desmond-sir couldn't pronounce chinese, malay or indian names, so he gave the right marker, who was a chinese, an english name, BOBBY. and from that day onwards, everybody knew him as BOBBY. so, so far, everybody knows FIONA and BOBBY. then a one training later, people began to know FIONA BOBBY VALERIE PEIXUAN and FAHLIZA. haha.
on like the 1st combined rehearsal at the national stadium, i was in qingxiang sir's bus, and so, we were the first bus to reach back at hq. we were early. qingxiang sir and us had FUN. haha. all the cheers and stuff. cedar and scgs taught us cheers. we probably went high that night. after that, the 2nd bus people came in and we, 1st bus, showed them and also to the 3rd bus people. we went high. when we were showing off to the 3rd bus, there was this particular victoria guy who didn't look impressed. he was like rolling his eyes again and again. but whatever.
on the next combined rehearsal at national stadium, we went high. yes. all of us. while waiting for our turn to enter the stadium to march, the choir sang many songs and we, red cross, just went high, singing along, laughing and just moving to the beat THOUGH WE WERE NOT ALLOWED TO MOVE THE LOWER PART OF OUR BODIES. but who cares? the vis just allowed us to carry on as they wanted us to bond.
on the performance day, we were all high and excited. there were many vis at hq. man. i thought that they could even form a marching contingent on their own if they wanted too. joanne ma'am, qihui ma'am and yuming ma'am were there and so was nicholas sir. man so many from fairfield!
on the bus trip to national stadium, i sat with stephanie from st margrets and behind us sat, shafwatty and a raffles guy called wen yu. he was fat and cute. oops. and his name was wen yu. the three girls tried to open him up. we taught him some cheer actions. haha. he managed to learn them FAST. but not as fast as me. then it was lunch at the national stadium and a few rehearsals. there was this break before the real performance, we, red cross, said our cheers and all the other unifrom groups, looked at us. we were OUTSTANDING and our day was FUN AND EXCITING. haha. i really meant it. a few of us, then taught qingxiang sir how to do the dance-hand action. we also taught desmond sir that dance-hand action. man. desmond sir said that you can't teach an old dog new tricks but i DISAGREE. all one needs is patience.
then, it was time to go in. ooh. tons of the sec2s were nervous. i wasn't really nervous. i didn't think that anyone could have spotted me. i gave my three tickets to shuyi, sihui and yiling. MAN. they spotted me. i'm sure i look good (: anyway, during the parade, there was this girl guide who couldn't take the pain so she squatted down waiting for first aid, but none came, so she stood up. she did this over and over again. luckily she didn't faint. time passed and soon we were back to our holding area. everybody just screamed!! haha. it was over. we rocked! it was then time for us to leave. on the bus, everybody was just chatting away excitedly. then nicholas sir who was sitting with qingxiang sir called my name and i just said "wassup?" and those who heard were like shocked. i quickly apologized. nicholas sir told me to led the people in the bus a cheer. i did it and then sat down. was quite pissed at the two girls who didn't do the cheer. man. one was a sergeant and the other a coporal. how did they even get the ______ promoted when they showed me their heck care attitude and no sense of participation. and i'm sorry xuanle and the guy beside to stop folding the poncho when i ordered you to when i somehow didn't have much authority. sorry.
back at the hq, a small debrief and AGAIN, desmond sir volunteered me to say something. then it was bobby, then valerie. then, for reflections, alfredo and fahliza had to go up on stage to say some words. and then it was the victoria guys performance. man, it was HILARIOUS and gay! haha. i guessed everyone just enjoyed themselves. then it was the vi's performance. aiyo. desmond sir was gay. hmm. everyone suspected david sir and janessa ma'am to have something on but it was like desmond sir was protecting janessa ma'am. hmm. i wonder.
then it was some free and easy time. everybody went round getting numbers, email address and of course taking of photos. then stephanie stella and samantha went with me to like take photos and get contact number from desmond sir. i also went around distributing sweets to people. the three girls went to ask desmond sir "why do you always call fiona?", " why do you always say fiona's name as audrey?","do you like fiona?" and stuff like that. desmond sir said that though i'm fiona, i look like an audrey. err. and he also said that he picked me as he saw something in me that was different from others, like i was shining in the inside and he thought that i was special and he believed that i would be able to accomplished great things and told me never to give up. when he was saying this, he was like patting my head. then he told us that, " oh, fiona is like my little sister." i was like ERRR. anyway, peixuan and i took photos together and i took a photo of the THREE CUTEST SEC2 GIRLS in the marching contingent. they were peixuan, valerie and fahliza.
