Speech day

Hi Guys.

Lately, for these few weeks, I been rehearsing for speech day. Finally, the day has come and all my stress has been relieved!

This morning started off with a brief revision on the parade drills. The parade segment, hall segment and etc. Then, we rested at the auditorium until 3pm where it was time to fall in.

BB and NPCC were given the toughest job of the whole parade. Flag Drill. It seems simple but it is very tiring on your right arm as you have to keep it 90 degrees throughout the whole parade.

So, after we fall in, the command was given, and we marched onto the parade.

We came in from the left side of the parade, and the Scouts, NCC(SEA), and Red Cross came in from the other side. We chepat hentak and then behenti at the drum beat. Then we turned and faced the center of the parade and took dressing.

After that the guard-of-honour NCC(Land) marched into the center back of the parade with rifles.

The Parade Commander then gave us the turong command, and we could rest and put down our flags. Finally. Then we waited for 5 minutes and we saluted to the acting chairman of VAC/VEC. After another 5min then the GOH, Mr Ng Ghee Khin, Cheif of Air force came in. We then saluted.

Suddenly, the unimaginable happened.

When he walked past the flag party and went on stage, MY FREAKIN PHONE TURNED ON AND RANG. I was like, WTF??? It must be my watch that pressed onto the button. Lucky he already walk on stage and the band was playing, or else I die liao.

Then, inspection of the guard of honour and marchpast. After the Marchpast, we immediately ran up to the hall and awaited there to plant the flags in the hall.

After planting the flags, we had free dinner and relaxed at the hostel canteen after that, at about 4pm, we went home.

Fhew! Great that it is all over. I can finally relax... for a while.

Will write soon!
