Sunday, December 28, 2008 Sweet nostalgia but not really
Yesterday my squadmates and I had our P.O.P (Pass Out Parade). It was organised by the juniors, and after some walking around at Parkway with tifa, who had to leave later on but came back to eat ice cream (hahah), we finally went to east coast park. (And they didn't get to see S.)
It was fun. :)
Not.
I'm sorry. I don't want to come across as unappreciative whiny bitch condescending senior. But i can't lie that i'm not disappointed, because i really, really am.
I'm not going to go into specifics about why it was disappointing, but overall, it was as though we weren't respected, acknowledged for our efforts, or even interacted with. Some people just stood and the corner and were stoning.
And i'm quite sad for Aishah cos she told me she stayed up all night writing notes to her squad individually, when the letter they gave her was on the souvenir itself and was extremely brief.
Many people didn't even turn up.
And if my juniors are reading this, i bet they'll say, "What a bitch, at least we HAD pop for them."
Well my reply to that will be yes i know, thank you. But it seemed forced and not something that was sincere.
I'm not the self-glorifying type but i dare say our pop for our seniors was significantly better.And i'm not expecting a hotel standard or something, i just want to see the whole-heartedness and sincerity of it all. Is that so hard? And, more importantly, is that how much respect we deserve?
On the flipside, though, we DID have a game, though only one. It was twister! And i participated.
Quote of the day: "I look like i'm masturbating" - Natasya, while playing Twister and had her hands between her legs to reach a circle
xD
and they gave me a card before i went to london!! awwww. thanks guys :D though the cat was let out of the bag because i walked over to get myself some sausages then natasya yelled something like "AISHAH! AISHAH!" just because aishah was beside me and bent down writing something. then i saw my squad picture.
but hahaha it was really sweet of you guys, thanks.
After that it was already around 5pm so we walked back to parkway. Sweating is horrible. And the only reason why i was sweating exceptionally more was because i layered my already-hot NCO tee with a white long-sleeved shirt. I don't want sunburns. But the thing was, we were sitting under a tree at ecp.
And i also wore my sneakers cos i didn't want to get my toes all muddy again like the other time we went to ecp, but the thing was, we were standing on sand in ecp.
-_-
Talk about wasted effort. pfff.
Oh yeah, on my way to pp from ecp, i called my house because my IELTS exam(the english exam) results were due either two days ago or yesterday. I got the mail yesterday and my grandmother read it out to me. I'm not bragging but i think i'm quite proud of myself :) My brother scored higher but that was because he was trained there in london, i taught it all myself with this guide book.
Well good, now i don't have to take english in my college. Haha. it's a waste of money and time.
Anyway, as i was saying. So we were highly indecisive, and the weather made us succumb to bubbletea. i don't think they would call it succumb, but it was definitely succumb for me because i already ate ice cream with tifa and the rest in pp! ._.
Eventually we decided to go to the airport to eat at popeyes'. another looong journey. but my bus ride was filled with me discussing make-up with chia li. man, she's a knowledgable one!
at the airport, i remember telling fifah she was hot and i really meant it, then she immediately hugged me XD fifah, i was sweating a lot you know. hahaha.
then in the sky train on the way to terminal one, asyikin, aishah and i discussed frozen blood in winter. ehem. knowing aishah, it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what we were talking about. it was highly amusing though.
i really had no more appetite so i shared my meal with aishah at popeyes'. aishah, fifah, syikin and i talked because we were sitting near each other. i was telling them about someone when asyikin said it would be funny if a guy asked you for your home address.
"then in the end he send you kad raye."
i nearly choked on my chicken laughing.
then fifah told me a similar incident with her, except it's the phone number instead.
fifah : *immitates the way the guy asked for her number, a very flirty way*
aishah: omg. if a guy did that to me, i'll be like *o.o face* "HUH?"
lmfao aishah. selambe pleasee.
then aishah, being aishah, said a couple more things that made fifah and i laugh. like how she wore her sister's fake lashes once and looked like a bapok. hahahaha whuuuuttt. don't crap man.
ida was telling yijun about her CI experience. haha sorry ida i didn't really hear cos you were sitting quite far from me. but i heard yi jun going all "oh my god i should have joined!". Looool.
and fathima, i think you're cool. you are quiet and don't really talk much until people talk to you, but the thing is, you observe. your message to me last night was quite shocking because i didn't think you heard what i said about someone
when we were done, i had to leave already (goddamned curfews.) while the rest wanted to chill. so i hugged them all and made my way to the airport mrt myself OMG I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET LOST
-_- i am a beeeeembo. when it comes to directions.
oh by the way, i'd like to thank ida for teaching me how to be cool about giving my letter to someone. very nice of you. i need to learn how to be cool, because i'm still slenge no matter how hard i try.
):
on the way home on the mrt was sad. i just had an awesome outing with my squadmates but the sadness came when i thought about this being the last time or one of the last times we're going out as a squad together.
i just hope people don't forget me.
):
and of course, i felt sad because the next day, which is today, is probably the last time in a long time that i'm going to see someone again. i'm just glad i didn't leave any stone unturned and seized all opportunity. but i do wonder if it's a mistake. oh well! thank God for the internet. :)
somehow i can relate to that song.i love that song but why is there a sort of sex scene in it o_o then i went home and checked something on the computer which made me happy. (:
"bust in the door and take me away, no more mistakes, cos in your eyes i'd like to stay" - thinking of you, katy perry.
