CONSENSUS; NOT CONFLICT.
YAY. IT'S NATIONAL DAY!
SINGAPORE IS 40 YEARS OLDER. =)
this morning i was indeed feeling down because i thought i was gonna stay home the whole day and rot. (see melissa and charlene's blog.)
but then my dear grasshead asked me to join her go tampines national day carnival.
then charlene was able to come too! (after i personally asked permission frm her dad. what the..)
then shu yun came too! hoorah. =)
when we got there, we wriggling through the huge crowd to find bryan and ian.
finally we found them.
then blah blah blah. parade started. national anthem. yay. march in of guard of honour contingent led by the state and regimental colours. yay. pledge. yay. parade ended, with fireworks blah blah blah.
THEN HERE COMES THE FUN PART.
we went venturing around the tents there while the guys went to look for benjamin.
melissa and i explored the SAF ambulance, wanted a navy tatoo, but the tattoo didn't look nice, so we didn't get a tattoo. then i found the MILITARY SOUVENIR STORE.
oh my. thats one of the coolest place ever. i got myself an AIR FORCE tee and a NAVY tee.
oh gosh. super cool. and i got an air force and navy paper bag. glossy glossy one. YAY. =) i wanted the air force cap and a whole lot of other SAF junk, but sadly got no money.. wahha.
yup. then melissa had to go back. then we went to civil defence tent and i learnt how to do blood transfusion!! and charlene became numb. hahaha. then we went over to the navy tent and we filled in some stupid sheet of paper then the guy gave us each a navy file and a navy badge! the badge looks super nice, although it's made in china. haha.
then we discovered the ARMY FITNESS CENTRE. oh gosh. that place is so intimidating. all the electronic sit up thing, electronic chin up thing, electronic standing broad jump thing, electronic shuttle run thing. whoa. it was so cool. due to my lousy physical condition today, i did only the sit up thing, 5 points. but still not satisfactory results. i suck. i feel weak. sigh. but the guy still gave me a balloon, despite not having the courage to try the chin up thing. haha.
yup. it's 11.41pm now. kinda tired. tmr got bite race!! =)
shall end here then.
bye.
--happy national day. =)
