extra lessons

spent the past week chasing juniors for their passport size photos and course fee for their basic/ advance nco course.
and what do i get out of it? ungrateful people saying that i keep bothering them.

last day of school was on friday. debby gave me chocolate, along with a note:) collected our report books. my report slip was depressing, and i only showed it to leongyew and michelle. had a committee meeting after school together with the sec 2s.

went to HQ to buy badges last monday, and had overnight duty during the weekend. this time it was the actual hometeamNS real run. the previous time was the trial run. anyway, my dad drove shiya and i to HQ. this time some sec twos came along and it was the first time they stayed overnight at HQ for public duty. had a briefing which was very similar to last last week's.

we played taidi and ate potato chips. had a conference at 12 midnight till my phone ran out of battery. managed to fall asleep this time, though only for a while, since it was so uncomfortable and cold. woke up around 4am to change into our full uniform. then we went back to the lecture room and received a walkie talkie for each spotter. so cool. lols. then we started playing with our new toy.

qiuyan and i were in spotter 4, and we were given a green first aid pouch. then we went up the bus. yunqian, me, amalina, shiya and shuangyu sat right at the back. upon reaching changi exhibition centre (CEC) we were given our breakfast- sandwiches with tuna and cucumber. eww. we were given a file for each station as well. sprayed 'off' insecticide on our arms and legs and waited for the ambulance to bring us to our station.

spotter 3, 4, and 5 shared an ambulance. we were the last to leave and control was doing a station check. so when sir did his station check through the walkie talkie, we had to reply him. so fun. lols. then qiu yan and i were dropped off at lamp post 121. we had to jump over this drain to get to this hut as our first aid point. then we sat there to chat while waiting for the race to start :)

when the race finally started, we saw a blur of participants running past. there were no casualties and it was so boring. had to battle mosquitoes too. after the last runner, we were instructed to walk to the nearest water point to meet spotter 3. nicholas shuangyu and debbie were there. after waiting for a long time, the ambulance arrived to bring us back to CEC. met up with the rest there and waited in a small white room for lunch.

the bus ride back to HQ was very bouncy and from the back, we saw that everyone was bouncing together, so we started laughing. lol. fell asleep on the way. back at HQ, we collected our goodie bags before changing and going home.

on monday morning, my mother woke me up for extra lessons but i told her i didnt want to go to school. so i went back to sleep and after that i told her i wanted to go to school. so i left and reached school 5 minutes before recess. lols. waited outside the chemistry lab, listening to mrs ooi's voice. elliot was the first to discover me standing there, sucking on a lollipop.

only attended two classes, english and chinese. teachers are so anxious, giving us so much homework. handed all the stuff i had to do for admin to ma'am yesterday. oh and doing chemistry practical with jiaying was fun :) we heated this solid thing in a test tube and realised we didnt see any changes because we forgot to add this acid thing, and when we did the whole thing just reacted and foamed up, surprising us. hahaha.

though we have a new chinese teacher, lessons are still as boring. on the other hand, mr latif is taking us for literature and our first lesson today was so interesting. he was so dramatic and funny too.

lunched with shiya, ruishan and josephine at long john silvers today. met yunqian and zhiwei at kfc. what's with the rubik's cube craze?

i'm so tired. never ending homework! i wanna take another half day off :D

almost forgot- today is halloween! :)
rewatched ouran high school host club episode 21 and makingfiends episode 5 for the umpteenth time. also played the halloween game. lols.
