Ah. I survived my NCC camp.
Hell, the first day was really tiring (friday). We had to do drills for almost 2 hours continuously before going for lunch. Next we have Individual Fieldcraft where we learn what to do during war. We did exercises on a large synthetic field in my school. Hands were almost burnt. After that we had to do drills again. By the time it was night time, my entire body was aching already. I finally managed to sleep in my thin-layered sleeping bag on the hard floor with ceramic tiles at 12am. 10 minutes later I was awoken by shoutings by our seniors at my juniors. They were being tortured in the dead of the night. The shoutings were so noisy I couldn't sleep until around 1am.
Next day. Woke up and eat. Had selection for a competition. Since I was already selected, I could slack around along with the other cadets who were also already selected. In the afternoon we had amazing race that tired out my entire body and destroyed my voice, although it was fun. At night we had war games where some of us had to defend our base and the others have to steal flags from other people's bases. The worse bit was that my group was given an open area. And my boots was always stuck in the mud at the areas with grass. The seniors cheated by taking more than one flag of the same flag at once so all of us started cheating. When the games ended four cadets including myself were drilled close to midnight for selection of some parade on the next day. They needed two and one of them was kicked out, so I just volunteered to be kicked out so that the selections will end and all three of us can return to shower before sleeping. Slept at 1 am.
Last day. Apparently the seniors haven't chosen two cadets yet so all four of us were drilled again. But this time we were drilled by someone who was kind and quick to make a decision. I wasn't selected, but I didn't mind, since my entire body was aching badly and there was no point participating in an active role in the parade. After the two were selected we had a promotion parade where the seniors one year older than us were given the authority to boss us around next year.
Hell, the camp was freaking tiring.

Oh damn. I screwed the whole band up yesterday.
Yesterday (Oct 28) was the day of the music competition. We were performing the song quite well until I decided to sing in the chorus of It's My Life by Bon Jovi. Then I started to screw the entire song up with my off-key singing. And the real singer suddenly lost his voice halfway through so I had to sing with my screwed-up voice, although he regained his voice thereafter. So we lost the competition.
At least the drummer won the best instrumentalist award for playing the drums well in 4 months.

Today was a great day.
First I had a science quiz to take. Although I dreaded it at first it was not bad actually. But one minor accident did happen, though. I had a friend spill amylase solution all over the paper we were supposed to submit (it was a group work consisting of theory and practical quizzes). The paper slowly turned black afterwards. If I am not wrong the only reason this happens is because the paper itself contains starch. So it was broken down into maltose and I'm sure it would start tasting sweet. Right, and the solution spilled all over my legs as well.
Overall it was still quite fun. It was nice seeing the paper being digested. Yeah, and we played with fire as well.
Following that my band and I went to the studio for practice for tomorrow's performance in front of the entire Year Two cohort. In 2 hours, we perfected the song, although the drummer made occasional mistakes on the drums. I'm not surprised we managed to perfect the song; it's really simple (It's My Life - Bon Jovi). But the singer didn't turn up, and I took over the vocals with my screwed-up voice yet again. And there's a possibility he won't be able to sing tomorrow; he claims to have a sore throat that lasted 2 weeks. But we can't prove whether he is lying or not, for it is certain that he is reluctant to perform.
Hell, sure hope we do not disgrace ourselves up on stage tomorrow by screwing up.
Wish me luck, everyone.

Oh yeah, I was asked by this internet friend of mine, vilda, whether I had a twitter account. Not the first time someone asked me such a question.
And yet I have been repeatedly ignoring people who ask me to create a facebook account.
The reason? I don't want to make myself common with the other people. I know this sounds weird, but I'd rather stand out as another person rather than blend in with the trend. So I'd rather not have facebook. But I do know it makes me sound anti-social. I'm not saying that anyone that has fb or twitter will not stand out; but I know that if I do, I won't.

Today was a normal day.
First thing in the morning was chapel session. Hell, was close to sleeping. But when the teachers catch you sleeping then you're doomed. I'd rather not risk it, so I tried my best not to sleep. The continuous drone of the pastor is an effective medicine for even the most terrible case of insomnia. 100% guaranteed.
Right, the next lessons were all slack (well, exams have ended). Watched movies continously and had two hours of recess because my teacher forgot when our recess time was (it was 1120 to 1200 but he gave us recess time from 1000-1040, so effectively we had recess from 1000 to 1200). Luckily I wasn't scolded by him for not informing him about the actual time for recess (I was chairman of the class, dictator of the single-party dictatorship class committee which is purged by internal corruption, and it has been declining in power since the start of the year). If it was not the end of the year I would have attempted ideas in regaining power.
Anyways, I was caught in a dilemma while trying to choosing between two groups of students who will work on a certain project next year. I can't decide which to join. I guess I'll just leave it to my friends to argue among themselves until they come up with an agreement on which group I join.
And then I was asked to clear my locker. And I always store all my textbooks in my locker. And I could only find two separate boxes after scouting around for boxes in recycling areas in my school and rummaging through them (hell) to find these two small boxes. At least with both boxes, I could store most of my books and files. Had to think for more than 30 minutes before I finally wasted money buying a roll of strong duct tape to tape the two boxes together to make it easier to carry them home. And the scouting came with extreme sweat, and by the time I was done taping the box (oh yeah, and i finished the roll), my entire uniform was soaked with sweat. With the heavy box(es) to bring home, a heavy schoolbag, and an extremely wet uniform, the journey home wasn't enjoyable. Not at all.
Upon reaching home I forgot to take out my ez-link card from my pocket and it was soaked. Hopefully it works tomorrow... Don't want to waste money making a new one.
And I have retyped this entire post again because I accidentally did a mouse gesture on opera browser whilst typing this post... Yeah and it brought me to this page on "Can I use shortcuts while editing on Blogger?". It was some fast-forward mouse gesture on Opera Browser and I don't get how it works, because I've never visited that site before. And I forgot to save a draft.
Recently I also have unknown people who know my email and request to be on my MSN list. I suspect those are bots...
Tomorrow, I would go to the music studio yet again. This would be the one and only practice I will have with my band upon being forced to change songs for our performance this wednesday. So it would be the one and only, and the last. =(
