♫ Martina Mcbride-Concrete Angel *With Lyrics!*♫

Please stop CHILD ABUSE.

Friday training.
As usual, sec 1s, 2s and 3s.
Ma'm Weilin came. Her VI
uniform, immaculate, white
& clean. I wondered how long
it has been since I had seen
OUR vis in their uniforms.

It was pretty cool, cause she's
donning on the REDCROSS
HEADQUARTER's uniform.
even Mr Ong said its nice!! =DD
err, okay nvm. (:

Anyway, the whole of today
I have been gg around telling
ppl how cute Ms ___ is! Okay
la, I said 'Mrs Chan, Ms Chin and
Ms ___ so cute !!' I think I kinda
irritated ppl! Haha!

During trng, stayed in rc room
with Weilin, Vaneh, ahma, and Mrs
Chan. We were diligently wrapping
the gifts for tmr's little kiddos! =))
Gossipped A LITTLE, so cute and
funny can! And another special
thing, NO BUS BAY SESSION
TODAY! I think the cadets
were pretty much overjoyed
at this wonderful news!

Waited with Vanessa for her
cousin to come out. And she
keep di-siao-ing me. chehhh.
Walked with juliana to road
junction, books and bag so
heavy.

Imagine I still have to get
up early for YCK grassroot
club thingy. However, TGIF
TGIF!

Today VE lesson, Mrs Jothi
showed us ppt slides abt Polys
etc. I want to aim high, but am
definitely afraid of falling hard
when the results come back.
Tell me what to do!

Saturday.
Dragged myself out of bed at around 5.30am.
Super shagged from ystd's trng. But have to be in sch
by 6.30 to help the sirs and ma'ams start sorting the
donation tins.

Cadets came a little bit later. Asked the sec 3s to think
of a cheer for this fund raising activity. Here goes:
I say D-O-N, A-T-I-O-N.
Its cool, its fun.
O, fund raising! *clap*
Cute right? LOL.

Anyway, they went to bus bay to
practise this cheer, cause by that time, our sch had
already been infested by ppl from other schools.
Sorry, but i don't really like to see the sch filled with
alot of ppl, some of which have attitudes like errm, like
pang sai. And and, we managed to split the whole squad
into TWO squads. Friggin' cool!, and there were TWO
I/Cs. Cool, right?! Made then fall in at the foyer, gave out
donation cans, since there was no VI assigned to help us.
So, blah blah blah..and Amkss RCY was ready to go. Slowly,
all the schs took their tin cans and left for fundd raising, leaving
the sch in absolute silence.

Qian hui and I stayed back, supposedly for admin stuff,with
Xiaoyuan ma'am, Xinyu ma'am, Hongzhou sir, and don't
know what other sir. *ahem ahem, broken wrist. lol. Yifang
and Edna had to attend Ms Lee's 'fabulous' maths lesson. Qh
and I were kinda bored to our wits, that we took out the 1st
runner up poles to play. We did our formation once, 2 ppl so
lonely on the empty parade square. We counted the timing
kind of effortlessly, it was the formation that we had practised
so hard for. Every bang and timing said, was said and
done with immense pride. We take pride in everything we do,
because we're self motivated. =DDD

Next on the list for 'things to do when Qh and Yl are bored',
we played with water. From our twin bottles. It was fun to
run around the sch, enjoying the peace, and only hearing the
sounds of our heavy footsteps. In the end, breathlessness
caught up with us, as we 'strolled' back to the foyer. Ended
up talking with the sir and ma'ams in RC room.Waited
for Edna and Yf to come, talked even more. Xinyu ma'am
and Hongzhou sir were walking around the sch. How romantic!
*ahem ahem

And talked to Xiaoyuan ma'am abt VI life. I guess the NCOs
had quite a fun time laughing at some of the comments she
made, that we hardly realised it was 12 pm and the students
have returned from their fund raising. Rushed back out to
render our help! We're helpful, initiated kiddos! Halfway
through, some of us started complaining abt our rumbling
tummies and discussing about where to have lunch at.

After packing up and besurai the cadets, had lunch with
some of the cadets and VIs at kfc. Talked and chilled with
the cadets. And i'm not a Very Important PENGUIN okay!
Though it sounds kinda cute. Sighhhhhhhh I think this
would make it even harder for us to let go, and break the
bonds. Left for amk hub after that. Combed fairprice extra
for Qh's new bag, but ended up with Qh not buying
anything, but Yf and me bought sushi.

In the mrt, we talked about the future. How impt social
life would be, and would we still have the passion for rc,
to join VIP? But I guess I would make an effort, to give
my best for this Society that I have spent 7 yrs with.
Ppl's persuasion are so influential. Like from a period of
time where I was quite sure I wouldn't join VIP, till now,
half convinced to join. I need opinions, whether I should
join, and dedicate my life to SRCY. Should I join VIP?

And so, I haven't been blogging from since last week.
That's because common tests kept me busy studying
the whole of last week. One test after another, everyday
has been like hell. Not having enough sleep, not being able
to really stay awake and fully focused during lesson etc etc.
its just so....umm, stressful. Its the struggle of scoring well
for every single test. GAHHHHHH!

Anyway, yesterday there was trng. Well, everything as usual,
though there were quite a number of cock-ups. Like during
teaching of lessons, and during PT. You could say the NCOs
were pissed off and almost exploded. Okay fine, maybe I'm
the one who's feeling that way. !@#$%^ I just feel so pissed
off, sometimes! But somethings aren't meant to be said!!
Which is super frustrating!!, and you can't rant at anyone
or anything.

So, after trng, again we had the Bus-Bay drill! Okay,
anything that's happening in the Bus-bay, ain't a
good thing. But I think they're already used to it. So, ystd's
was a little bit more saddening, than the previous few times.
Cause we added in the VIP thing, as well as POP. Gosh, totally
can't believe we're stepping down in a few months time. So thats
the BIG problem. No need for elaboration i guess. *I think my posts
are boring, because its the same old routine. Every week's trng
ends up alike.* Ahhhh well, i should say things that aren't so monotonous.


And the HQ sirs came down to prepare the stuff needed for today's flag day.
Total disaster, but at least we tried. I should have the mindset that its
all just a tiny misunderstanding. Nvm, and so after Bus-bay drill, I guessed
everyone had woken up a bit more? Hopefully.

We need the pillars. You ppl have to be strong, as I said, don't ever let yourself
break down. You can't afford to, because they need you.

Happy leading,sec 3s!

Weilin, you have to come back.
Only you can help me pass
maths with flying colours.
Please come back..
That china teacher knows
nuts about Maths, you have
to come back.

I will try to attend your musical.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY,
EDNA.

Hope you're happy..=)
Anw, NFC ystd was alright.
1st runner up in North District,
National Top 8. Is that considered
good? Why didn't i feel the contentment
and satisfaction like i did during FAC?
Was it because i was too complacent?
That i knew we stood a better chance?
Throughout the whole competition, i was
giving the super dao and zhuai face to
almost everyone. Even when i commanded
the squad etc. So much till the extent maybe
some ppl thought i was arrogant.

I don't know why i don't care anymore.
Perhaps the passion is almost gone.
That i didn't even cry or feel that happy
when the results were announced, or
even when Mr Chia came to look for me
with baby Dylan to congratulate me.
That i didn't feel really upset that we
lost count during our performance.
Why???

Maybe i was just too tired to think.
That my brain stopped working
after the Preliminary round was
over. When i hugged ma'am Xinyu
who was in her VI uniform, OUR VI,
with that silver trohpy in my hands.
We achieved sth more than a COP.
Yet yesterday was just like another
day. I couldn't bring myself to smile at
all after the Preliminary round. But i could
definitely see everyone's efforts, when they
broke down and cried when Chanel ma'am
announced Group 6 - Ang Mo Kio Secondary
has achieved the 1st runner up in North District
and is qualified to enter the national round.

They are the future leaders. Its their turn
to take the initiative. To make sure our
tiny little unit doesn't get bullied, or looked
down upon. We must regain our past glory,
where we are the victorious AMKSS. My
faith in you guys shall slowly build up, just
make sure you don't do anything to make me
stop believing in you.

NFC 2008 has finally passed. I bet you guys
are happy that you won't ever need to stay back
every monday to practise, ain't i right? Well,
our time as an NCO is almost up. Did we fufil
what we were entrusted to do?

Its 5 more days to FootDrill Competition.
I'm already getting the jitters. Sigh.

Full dress rehearsal today. It was kind
of a letdown though. Gahhh, I guess I
expected too much again. Luckily Mrs
Chan agreed for another trng on wednesday,
else we'd all be dead.

Tried practising in the parade square,
gosh, couldn't really co-ordinate the
bangings and armswings etc. Sigh, again.

After trng came the punishments. That was
the 'fun' part. Did half squat for 10 minutes.
Ended up the whole squad had shaking legs.
But it was then we reminisced.

We used to do half squat occassionally as
punishment, there was this once where
right after doing half squat, we had to do
footdrills, Combined Uniform Group
footdrills. Imagine your legs shaking like
jelly after which you still have to do footdrill!
But I have to admit, its kinda cool la. That
induces the endurance, and fighting spirit.
The passion, the 'One for All, All for One'
motto. I Love Red Cross. =)

Oh, and after the 10 minutes half squat,
we ran with Vivian. She ran 6 rounds,
we ran 4. Good enough okay! Vivian,
aren't you touched? To have the ma'ams
run with you! Haha!
Anyway, i 'sense' that our unit is getting
more and more bonded. Ah, but then again,
we're stepping down soon.

FDC's the last competition for us, the
'WONDERFUL' NCOS!
Ha! Cadets, make our dream come true
and give Edna a wonderful birthday okay!
=DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Happy cny !
And so, this time every year
means going back to Penang
to bai nian.

Oh, I so love my cousins =)
And I learned how to play
mahjong! Haha, but of course,
no money involved.

Its good to be with family.
Man, I feel super slack now.
Guess i'll have to run more
and do more pt when I
return.

Anyway, its SIX more days
to FDC. I feel I'm gonna faint.

And so, another week has passed.
Common tests almost everyday,
Its really taxing, esp when there's
2 tests in a day.

Every monday there's FDC trng.
Every tuesday there's study session.
Every wednesday there's piano.
Every thursday, i'm glad there's nth on.
Every friday there's training.
Every saturday, i get to slp like a pig.
Every sunday there's tuition.

Week by week passes.
FDC's on 16 feb. have faith!
I guess we can do it.

Yesterday was normal trng.
Sec 1s came. The number was
satisfying.

However, having
a bigger number of cadets
might mean that the standard
will drop? I hope not.

Now, amkss RCY is a multi-racial
ug. We also have a guy. That calls
for a celebration, doesn't it? But
that also means we all have to learn
the guys way of doing pumpings;
NCOs included.

Oh, and, the incorporation of
guys pumpings into our trngs
began yesterday. Seems a good
way to train up our endurance.
I believe that as time passes, we
will all get used to it.

Hey all, don't you find the bus bay
a very memorable place? The bus
bay's a place where every generation
of cadets grow up and wake up.

Numerous sessions of undesired
naggings took place there. One day,
every single one of you will come
to know. To know that it ain't easy
to maintain not only your own
passion but your jnrs' passion as
well, to endure the stress, to groom
the jnrs, to wake them up, to take over.

One day. Believe in karma, cause
it does happen. As according to
the rest, karma's just the IN thing now.
But it will really happen, when
you finally understand what its
like to be - disappointed.

Other than achieving sth for FDC,
my last wish from amkss RCY is
to be able to have a good
Passing-Out-Parade and an
unforgettable farewell party.

Lets just take it as we've nvr really
earned your respect, and that
we're just a bunch of drama kiddos.

I want to step down, soon.
