Firstly, i must say that even though i always think to myself constantly, being the glummy kind of person when I'm all alone, I must say that I /hate the word "reflection". Sounds like a punishment, when in actual fact, it is a short period of time people think deeply and sincerely...
Anyway, enough crap talk, here's my reflection on the NDP journey so far...
My journey on NDP 2006 is gonna end with the actual day show itself... Celebration or commemoration? u b d judge...
It all started w/ the Student Leaders' training... 4 students from each of the 16 (except Yio Chu Kang, apparently) secondary schools... 3 female teachers (Mrs Wong, Ms Cheong, Ms McCully), and a whole bunch of SAF guys. Don't forget the maestros...
We learnt the music dance steps... Personal achievment to me, considering how BLUR i can be, and how I NEVER danced before...
First non-SAS guy whom i knew: Henry (Christchurch). stagefright then, not anymore, i believe...
First girl whom i know who has 2 degree of separation since Jessica frm 1G RVPS: Sarah from Unity. I know sum1 frm SAS band, that guyknows sarah... not very attracted to Sarah, who later turned out to be a bully....
Then we moved to Coral Sec, this time in full force of 850 ppl...
in between, the SLs taught their peers the moves...
Later, the stage was prepared, and the full dress rehearsals started on location @ National Stadium.... Braving the scorching heat which had so far been very nice and bearable... (my nose bled on day 1, after flying in frm Indonesia d day b4, but that was all)
We practiced @ SIS couple fo times though...
Then, the previews came... There was the much anticipated Family Day, NE show and Public Preview.
But as they say... All good things must come to an end... and that end is ever nearing... just 7 days from the time i started typing this blog post....
So far, NDP's been a fantastic time... Met up with lots of new friends (more of bullies, actually)(just joking larh...)... Ajhmal (sorry if that was wrong, AJ), Joshua, Sarah, Shandy, Ishak, Sylvia, Michelle, Rong Jie...
Well, We've got one more time... Let's bring the stadium down and put on a show everyone will remember...
Sure will miss NDP 2006...
