-when the feeling is gone and you can only look back.
oh dang. i'm my contemplative self again. i have absolutely no mood to do anything else except thinking and typing. i'm just thinking, thinking, thinking...
i'm thinking what would make me cry. an emotion-triggering movie would move me to tears. i'm aware that i probably would not be in the same predicament as the characters in the movie, but i'm empathetic all the same. Songs of sentimental value; songs which i can relate to; songs which bring me back to memoryland, when i hear them, tears just can't stop flowing.
friday's POP. it was so different from the previous POPs. what can i say? i had been feeling all sorts since the day started, looking forward to POP yet lamenting on the fact that we would soon leave the unit. we carried out the parade without a prior rehearsal. i told myself, we cannot afford to make any mistakes. this is the real thing, the real parade. our last parade, in fact. the whole parade never felt so short before. even with mr han's speech, it seemed as if the hands on the clock were speeding round the minutes.
so the parade ended. when i saw steff crying, i started to cry as well. gave our squad cheers for the last time. then we went to the LT to watch cadets' performance. Steff's surprise presentation was so touching!!! there were so many stupid pictures which we took in the last 4 years...so paiseh! every picture brought back a special memory to each and every one of us.
soon, the squads performed for us. 39's song item was so cute!!! i like the animals part (: they looked innocently adorable. hehs. 38 sang an edited version of yanleideweidao for us (: so sweet...some of us cried when they were saying the message...i know weiwen cried pretty badily. urgh, i always cry when i see people crying really badily.
went out to the bbq benches to eat! oh man, 37 are great cooks! they probably reckon that we like chocolate cos there were many chocolate-related food. yep, thanks for the scrumptious meal (: yadaa yadaa. we received our POP presents! haha. 2 out of 3 presents were food. :( quite sad cos we hafta eat it up and cannot leave them to rot...hais. but thanks anyway!!! oh man, i'm sun-kissed which means beach babe. diaowwww. haha.
packed up and went to steff's house aka our squad house! yay we got the tv room to ourselves and began to crap...didn't do much. basically gave presents to 38 and stuff. they began to sing "when you believe" when we went out of the room to do something. must admit they can sing better than us! i think the whole unit can sing better than us. lols. i was so amused by 38!!! oh man. can't believe they are that crazy
some fervent crazy persons wanted to hug some squadmates but ended up molesting my squadmate instead. outrage of modesty!!! hugged 38 and most of them didn't exactly return our hugs but nvm (: yeps, and we finally said those three words. behind the pillows somemore. haha, too paiseh. some 38 left for their homes, while others went to stay at sheila's house.
played bridge/daidee for a while. i was waiting to take a shower in steff's bathroom but i was getting too tired and the sofa was too inviting :P slept till the next morning (!!!) and only woke up for a couple of times. wei li and the 4 39 ex-NCOs woke up at dunno when cos the room was too cold and went to steff's room to sleep at 4. 30. O.O i felt quite bad cos i was ba-zhaning the entire sofa for myself. OOPs.
wakey-wakey! initially some squadmates wanted to attend physics lesson at 8 but apparently we woke up at about 5 mins to 8. slacked around in the tv room playing bridge/daidee, watching the day after tomorrow/jay chou concert yadaa yadaa. and soon it was lunch! yumyum. nice chicken pasta soup!
then, me wl cheryl ww and jac went to west mall, while zj sf and ll went home. wl pierced her ears (!!!) and now she's in the earholes society. ahaha. jac added two more earholes under her belt! now she has 7 earholes. OH MAN. looks can be deceiving. haha.
stayed at steff's house for a while and then left for home. oh wellls.
