today was super SUPER disastrous :/ was woken up by xinfengs call in the morning O_o then headed to yio chu kang stadium where supporting cont was made to sit arnd and subsequently change to full uni.
We saw our district commander inside but thought she was just another cadet O_o The toilet was fully squeezed up and we all ended up falling in like last min and INTO WRONG SQUAD okay. I think we fell into east district squad when we were supposed to be in south d squad.
But anw, we went to south d and they started parade dry run. It was way boiling out there and we were supposed to stay in senang diri position for SO LONG okay. They kept playing that red cross power song until I could repeat it backwards, sideways and diagonally alr. Abt 40 to 50 people fainted/felt dizzy and had to be treated :/
Then finally, FINALLY, we could scamper off for lunch. Sam, xinfeng and I were hopelessly picking at our chicken wings, wondering HOW ON EARTH can you eat chicken wings with plastic spoons (that might break off any time) and how can we eat with out hands without looking, well, undignified.
We headed off to get soft drinks from the vending machine, wondering still how to buy with our notes, when we met sandy ma’am. She told us to get from the restaurant (cheaper), and therefore indirectly saved us from the shortage of coins crisis. Haha.
While we were eating, the talentime winners of link and cadet category were having their dry run, so we got to watch them dance. The links were pretty impressive, given the fact that they were only in pri school.
Anw, we had to wait a long, LONG time before we could fall in, having to wait for the GOH (guard of honour) cont to have their dry run and the march pass and the inspection :/
When we finally fell in, it STARTED TO DRIZZLE. Okay it wasnt so bad actually, the drizzle was kinda mild and we thought, yea well, parade gets to continue. However, they kept doing songs, cheers and whatnot until RAINDROPS PELTED DOWN on us. And you know whats the best thing? We havent even MOVED a single step. Still at the position where we fell in.
So we were told to fall out. However, the rain chose that moment to stop and we were given the go ahead to fall back in. we did and parade started. Supporting cont were formed up, and then it started RAINING again when GOH was formed. Then it continued, getting heavier and heavier. We were standing, at senang diri, under the rain.
While we continued getting wetter and wetter, the people at the stadium were singing and singing red cross power to their hearts content. I was hoping parade wld continue cos THATS WHAT WE WENT THERE FOR RIGHT. And I think marching is kinda fun. But no, we were told to fall out and sit at the stands. By then it was raining so heavily and almost everywhere was wet. There was also this strong smell of starch emitting from everyone of us :/
We went to get our stuff, and found, to our horror, that EVERYTHING was SOAKED. Yes, everything including our bags, uni cover, 1.5L bottle, etc. rainwater was spewing everywhere and world rc day was totally ruined by the rain. No one could hear anything over the rain and they had to call of the performances and end early.
And when it all ended, we went to the toilet to change (into dry clothes/mufti) and found out that the toilet was full. Ahaha then I came up with this idea of changing in the restaurant toilet (: so smart right, no other person thought of that cos the toilet was free of people (:
The rain ruined my day ):
