OK today's NDP celebrations were frankly, a disappointment. Although NDP celebrations always had the usual explanations of the national anthem and pledge (the ones we always recite but never really understood the meaning), march in and speeches, there were always performances and community singing to look forward to at the end. With it, the whole boring stint becomes all worth it.

This year, other than feeling much smarter having known the meaning of our national anthem and pledge, the singing of national songs was a rather dull one, with a bad person leading the songs (since he wasnt even muttering the lyrics audibly). Although I still do not know if Band really deserved the kind of knock-down they got, it seems clear that the short speech the principal made was filled with cynicism and came with a pathetic lack of encouragements or praises.

Afterwards, we went back to class for a Singapore quiz which was interesting. It came along with straw hearts, straw stars and Seventeen magazines (I'm dying for mine to arrive!!). Seemed like a no-life loser, went home straight after NDP celebrations and started mugging. (I'm unbelievable okokokokok!!)
