Today was west div day!!!
hahas.
So happy...
We got 1 gold + 2 silvers (Gold is our international quiz de, then silver one is the pagent and the other is human chess)
Plus the fact that we have camp galore bronze and craft comp gold yesterday, we more than met our winning competitions target for the year.
But now...seems like we are supposed to compete in competitions without the mentality of winning le, so as to clock participation points for PNA. Apparantly, if you take part in a competition and win, it does not constitute to participation points. As a result, once you reach the target and you still continue to win, you do not clock any more PNA Gold points anymore! LOL. whoever's dumb idea? Ahh...nvm, we'll just have to play along? Not that we did today lar...
GOLDGOLDGOLD! ahhhs..can't believe it! and we didn't study for the quiz at all? just used our general knowledge to answer the questions lor, somemore, we have proven that studying doesn't seem to work in this case, coz the rest were studying the handbook like some hardcore people and in the end? they didn't even get in.
Ohhz. and some zh****** people decided to cheat. not that we are sore losers or what lar...but you should flip open to the question, look at it, then answer and place your hand in the air and not raise your hand, then scream out the answer to your guide-in-charge then flip the calendar to the page with the question. It's like so obvious can?
anyway, that was our motivation to win ba? we didn't want the trophy to go to a school that didn't deserve it.
Oh yes. Phyllis turned out to be some great BIG surprise lor.. hahas.. when we do game show round that time, the nanyang guides (the organisers of e quiz) ask what does it mean to drape the colours, she answered it word for word, copied from the handbook sia...nearly scared the hell out of the nanyang guide (: [best part was that she didn't exactly make a super big point to memorise. it was just the spur of the moment? WoW]
quoted:"...draping the colours is done by tying a small black crepe of 15cm long to the top of the flag and letting the ends hang about half-way down the width of the flag..."
Best part of the competition was when we bluffed every single RV guide after the competition (coz it's held in the classroom and they din know the results) that we lost terribly, and didn't even get into the top three...
hahas. it must have been a great act on our part, coz RV guides started to console us...hahas. then later the JSS guider went to call out the results, then RV guides got a shock sia...(:(: we did not only get into the top three, we also got the CHAMPION trophy nia...yayayyyay!
anyway, after going back to school on the bus, a few of us went out to long john...haiz. I think I this month really ate too much long john le... ahh. but nvm, it still always tastes good (:
then later I left early so that I could reach home, bathe and change b4 we went to the NDP rehearsal...
after watching NDP this year, I must say... IT ROCKS MAN!!! yepps...the show is more colourful, with laser beams and lights, like hong kong's light displays at the 'xing guang da dao' there...
Oh ya the LIONS made their way down twice! once when the sun was setting and then once more at night...
And there are jellyfish which are like mini hot air balloons? and there are little shiny UFO like planes which are shot all over the place, lighting it up...
Ohs and the cheerleader people are all dressed as chickens and there are ahgongs and ahmas doing taiqi and little kids which dress up in some costume not unlike those from Finding Nemo on ICE...
more importantly, the emcees are all arriving by BOAT!!! so cool right?
yepps. so this rehearsal was considered a successful one by me..except for the fact that...
1) RVHS chorale pangseh us! left le...then I didn't get a chance to see you all...
2) Daniel Ong was NOT IN ACTION!!! then he was like subbed by some indian singer?!?!
Dan...where did ya go?
hmm...ahhs. nvm...I'll still get to hear your voice on 98.7Fm..hahas..looking forward to seeing some people's face when they see RVGG giving out 4 trophies for 4 different competitions... (:
kkz..night people..going to sleep soon..

Ohs, and charlotte and yimin, don't be sad le ok? these things happen, it's not your fault if they don't care. Appreciate that there are still some people who are there. The glass is half full (:
We Blow Our Own Bubbles of DespairSpoken:
We blow our own bubbles of despair into
The huge universe unknown and Poof
Fear buries us into itself
Devoured and devoid
Verse 1:
Anguish and pain are merely surfaces
That we can peel
Beneath all that
We are human
We know that we can cry
We know that we can laugh
But when we destroy all remains of fear
Destroy all the anger we feel
We are free... ...
Chorus:
We control our destiny
We decide our fate
We can't feel
We can't sing!
Verse 2:
For no one can compass despair
No one can control other's emotions
No one can be perfect
No one can suit everyone...
*Chorus
Verse 3:
Why mumble over those that can't comprehend
The difference between friends and foe
So what if you don't fit me very well
So what if you locate here
As large as a tank
Aiming at only half a lifetime?
Couldn't you float over the trees
Instead of forcing me outta my roots?
*Chorus
Verse 4:
Don't cry, don't sigh
Over those you don't understand
Just believe
That one day will come
and take away the pain!
There's no way out of this dark place
No hope, No future
Just believe
That one day will come
Conclusion:
When they all understand
For what's the point
Of wasting saliva
When you could have saved?
Don't blow the bubbles of despair
Putting you into trouble and they outta it
They don't care
What you share
Why Trouble Yourself?
In this dark dark world
Only you can comprehend
Just do it right
And they will eventually understand...

So much attention-grabbing stuff all at the same place.
Most tempting was of course the Milo Dino, which I of course made a beeline for (:
[for those who know me, you'll know WHY]
Had fun looking at the people take photos at our booth...
There was one guy who stuck that rose into his mouth and took a photo lar (thanks to ying) ...darn cute!!---became the advertisement for our booth (:
Some person at scape field complained about our banner blocking hers and said that we had no guiding spirit.
was it blocking hers? even if it was blocking someone, it wasn't her booth.
Ahhs nvrmind. At least she din put up a fuss and just grumbled a little...(:
Then Mrs Choy brought her son to the booth and they had a family photo. dunno if Ms Tan in the end got take with her 'friend' onot. I wish I was there (:
yepps. anyway, I bought a new badge with Girl Guide on it. It looks really nice and artistic...
Oh and since my school bag got broken a little, I got a new one. it's BLUE...
kkz. that's enough le..
Since I gotta off the com soon and sleep so that I can get used to sleeping and waking early again, I shall stop here and start on e poem...
Inner ExpressionsWith quavering lips and wordless gasps
I strive to say it loud and deliver thy
The music residing in my head
That silent music of nature
That swirling moan of day turned night
Where dreams and thoughts interwine
Where what I think seems simply divine
Where feelings are interwound
And people don't hide
Inwards I answer all those cries
Screaming I can't do anything
With cresendos of mystic depths and height
Which knows no infinite
A thunderclap strikes
Breaking the very silver lining
Hidden in each cloud
My Flesh would have perished there
From this dark shadows of guilt and scorn
This is thy song I struggle to bear
Through gaps in senses and feelings
I strip myself afree
Flinging myself into the air
Gently Flying Free
Away from hurt and into the light
Just my soul and me

Today...went to Bukit Batok Civil Defence 4th Div HQ for Guides Civil Defence Course...
Saw e guides again after separation...
It was like really really fun, with loads of laughter thanks to Loyang Sec (:(:
And then...there is this officer there named "Shake" and he with his fellow colleagues went on a Storytelling spree spread throughout the day. So wowwee..FUN!!!
Oh yea. and I got owned by the rest..wlao..din wear track pants din tell me..ahhs..nvm
oh..and to those who haven't taken Civil Defence, beware...the test was *ahem*. nahhs..won't talk about it here...
Ohs and mich taught me that a mixture of chilli and mayo produces a reaction...we-ells? Do you know that?
Well...Guides Carnival at Scape Field in less than a week's time...going to pia the preparations!! (:
Finally...
POEm Galore...(As hinted, today's poem will be adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's collection!)Spooky unknown future
Of interchangeable pride -
A phantom, a dream
Would my childhood seem
That night was fraught with violence and stonge
With random unwakening thoughts
Of unseen spirits
That I sense not
I let them pass me by
Throwing suspicious eyes
Let none of ill intent
Inherit the vision that I possess
Those thoughts I can't control
Twists a mask upon his soul
That bright spark
At last and-
When light time hath past
Fatigue denied
With a groan it passed on
I prayed it'd perish
In that single I cherished.

Today, went for UK trip debriefing..
and WOWOWOWOW
mr tan put in loads of effort in doing that DVD.
It rawks!
(:(:
It really brought back fond memories of the time we had in UK.
That was simply awesome(:
There was val and custard
and alot of other pics I nvr knew existed.
Funniest parts were all there of course.
oh..and there is my and the indicator... cheerios!
hahas.
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee!
ohz..and originally I had this poem, but then msn space ate it. and i'm pissed. So, this new one which I made which is more or less the same as the one i lost is now here:
Unseen TruthsEyes Taut Silent Followers
Of those shimmering wings
They slash in unison
A net at the skies
So they fall admidst brambles
Shaking countless nettles
Even after those million bruises and scratches
They hardly stop
T'was till the father came
Stilling those riot and grief
In his scratchy voice
In a single shout
"Why trouble those
Who did us no harm?
Those glittering wings
Those beautiful souls?"
"Run now, to my gardens three
For there you find them turned upside down
By way of worm
Will destroy"
The skies knows no limits; it is bountiful, beautiful
The earths are dull
Look not those appearances
But instead where slug and snail lie
For their birth
Is our death!
** for those who still don't know, this poem is all about the ironical being of the butterfly...
kkz..tt's all..buai!
