the national day parade in school was crap. no march pass,no proper command and need i say that some contingents cant march?!?! at all! and the GOH were not even wearing their number one uniform. how sad. why? in the words of npcc mates, "The guest-of-honour isnt important enough" blah. who made such a crap rule? guest-of-honour is still guest-of-honour by all means.

anyway,

the celebration in the hall was much better. cheering comp started off quite miserably. but the mood went up after a while. the upper sec classes displayed excellent class spirit. the karaoke sessions really was the best part of the celebration. everybody let their hair down and had fun! especially the sec 4s, under the pretext that its our last year in the school, so whatever embarrasment that we bring upon ourselves doesnt really matter. so what did a whole bunch of crazy and hyperactive girls do?

we stood up and danced.

it was a spontaneous act. we had actually planned to sit at the back of the hall, well, so that we could stand up to dance, but were inevitably pushed to the front of the hall, yes front [read: in full view of the whole school]. but who cares? i was especially itching to stand up and do an encore of last year's celebration [we danced the whole way to last year's theme song], so when the chance presented itself, why wait? one look of each other, grins breaking out on every one of the faces, we stood up there and then and began to sway to HOME. and whats a karaoke session without singing? so yerp, we sang our hearts out.

my, it must have been quite a sight.

guess what, even our discipline master smiled approvingly at our high spirits. he was even laughing along with us! and yes, being such a great school, everybody began to join us slowly. so by the time the second song started, nearly the whole student body and quite a number of teachers were up on their feet, singing and dancing. it was a great moment, being part of such an event. its not everyday you get to link hands with your teachers and sing along to national day tunes!

and of course, customary to all school events, the celebration ended with a whooping school cheer. not once, not twice, but 3 times! the school cheer proudly displayed out great school spirit, and it didnt matter what level/stream/cca you were in. nobody bothered.

today, im proud to be a bpian

its sad to realise that this will be the last year such crazy acts will be carried out thanks to us crazy people.

soon, it'll be hello cramped hands and goodbye bpghs.
