Today was B-E-A-U-tiful!! Went to the library with Aishah and did some homeworks. When Aishah came back from the vending machine with her crackers and some books, I ended up reading the book. LOL!! But the main thing is the SYF. Met Ain Ishak outside Aries at 3++. She was late, lah. Alighted at Kallang and siallah! So many people going to watch SYF sia. So we just followed the people in front lah.Bloddy hot I tell you. Reach the National Stadium at about 4++. And saw Mr Thomas! But he didn't saw us. We sat near the Grandstand at the 3rd row so everything was clear to us. Then the NCC Band started to march in and then sat at the corner there. After that they played for the other marching contingents(that's the only thing they played for) and bla bla bla... And that squarish-bodied CI was the 2nd Parade Commander or something like that. Damn COOL!! Some weak guy from NPCC kinda passed out. The St. John's went to get him. Luckily he still can walk. And I actually took a picture of that guy. Ha3!!
After that was the arrival of the Guest-of-Honour, PM Lee. After that was I don't know what. Halfway, Ain Ishak saw a bunch of JVSians sitting at left side with Mr Mohan, Mdm Rafilah, Ms Sharifah(aishah,cikgu McDonald's.LOL!) and Mr Seah (and other teachers too but can't see them clearly). Well, I actually paid attention more on the Military Bands. Victoria Institute Cadet Corps (It's a military band) from Malaysia and The Suranaree Marching Band from Thailand were invited. How cool!!! The Thais were better. But both of them were good. Like totally! Ask Aishah if you don't believe me.
After that was the Band Competition or whtever they called that. Tanjong Katong Secondary School was the first to perform. Their formation was total coolness!! Got Batman,Superman, and the Darth Vader helmet. And when the particular formation is set up they played that formation's theme song. Like Darth Vader, they played Star Wars' song. Then they dance while playing and bla bla bla. Deyi Secondary School was up next. They were great too. Their formation was ok lah conpared to TK's. Bowen Secondary School was great! The Band Major didn't even dropped the cane or whatever you call that when she threw it high up in the air. And it was straight, mind you! As in, she doesn't have to go forward or backward or sideways to catch it. Unlike the other two Band Majors they did dropped it but I know it was damn hard to do it lah. You think I don't know arh. I try before what!!(Mcm benar!!) They're all really good like God knows what lah!!
After that was Mass Display by God knows what school. After that was the finale and the prize was given out for the Band Competition. Best Drum Major award goes to the major from Deyi Sec Sch and the overall 1st place is Tanjong Katong. There's this TK girl in the corner who was screaming and all and Aishah took the opportunity to take her picture. Ha3!!! I think they won because of the formation lah. I thought Bowen could win. But congrats to all! Aishah and I took lotsa pictures. Mostly the Military Band.
Left the stadium at about 7pm. Walking from the stadium to the MRT station was tiring. Luckily there's seats available in the cabin. Went to Jurong Point to eat and watch the Singapore Idol Top 12 thingy. Sooooo many people sia. So we went to eat first. Then went to take pictures but mine is mostly blur. I got Paul's sideview, Aishah got Hady Mirza's full face!! But at least I got Rahimah Rahim's. We're not going ga-ga over them or anything but since they're there might as well take their pictures. The 3 of us were shouting at Paul for him to look up(we're at the 2nd floor) so we can take his picture but he's just 'pekak' I guess. My camera's battery went flat waiting for him to look up. We went home after that.
And ta-da!! Here I am blogging. Did I tell you I screwed up my Malay O level Oral?? Well, i just did yesterday. I kept on pausing in the middle of my sentence a lot of times. Well, all I can say is that I hope I pass. That's all.
MILITARY BAND ROCKS BIG TIME!! \m/
