The past weeks was interesting... i had a chance to get away from the mundane life in camp. We were at various SYF Central Judging venues helping out in almost everything! Goodness, we were literally utilised till the max. We were assigned to be ushers, time-keepers, receptionists, crowd controls... and many other trival tasks that's not worth the mention here.

SYF Dance was an eye opener... interesting to see small primary school kids to dance so elegantly and always wearing a nv fading smile. Behind the scene... i get to see the 'kan chiong' teachers and parents. One teacher tugged a dancer to her side, deeped a sponge into a God-knows-how-many-years-old fondation cake, and powdered everything on the poor little gal's face... another parent kept reminding her daughter to pay attention to her dance moves... sigh...
Then i also did SYF band... much better this time. Except that parents need to be reminded repeatedly not to take pictures... and some show lousy concert etiquette. Yesterday i was treated to a great performance by the outdoor display bands... haha, saw many pple there including Tan Yina, Yijie, and to my surprise, one gang of the current TJ band pple... And for those who wants to know the results... TKSS, Bowen and Deyi went to the finals...

Well... amongst all these ups and downs, i really did enjoy wad i'm doing. Will nv have a chance to do all these. So a great learning experience for me. Coming week will be another SYF. And i seriously cant wait for liberation day... a few more weeks, i got to hang on!

I dusted my keyboard... lubricated the mouse, and here i am again! When was my last post?...
Previous weeks was filled with work and more work. I was literally overwhelmed by the amount and effort put in to stage NDP. Everything from coordination and planning to the little details of props and costumes were not spared by us. I had to visit schools participating in NDP.... basically just becoming a dispensible servant. No wonder they called my occupation a National Serviceman.
Sigh... just a few days ago, i helped out in a funeral of a Colonel that died while running. Emotions ran through me. This was the first time I saw tears running down a soldier's face. Seeing his innocent 2 year old daughter just made me feel even worse. I really pray and wish his family will have the courage and strength in them to overcome this. This is the passing of just 1 sevicemen. What will be like in a war?
Ok... dun think so much. Coming weeks will be filled with more NDP support and we will be extending our over stretched helping hand for SYF support too! Well... Leave it to the NS men... We serve the nation after all. =/
