[Cross Country and NDP]
[Cross Country and NDP]
Cross country on tuesday was wild.
Nina and I came in last in the entire school! Haha.
Sherilyn, Aw Su, Clarice, Dionne, Nina, Min Ling and I planned to finish last. So we walked the entire route, singing, skipping and playing animal concentration and irritating every other walker around us.
And we asked each other stupid questions like, "Darling, why the wedding altar so far away one?" "Don't complain lah, dear, we still got 3 kilometres to go leh!"
And then suddenly, donno what happen, Nina and I got separated from the rest. Well, no matter, the two of us decided to walk together.
Walk and walk and walk... we heard voices.
Oh no!
It couldn't be!
Is it a ghost?
Is it a stalker?
NO.
It's...
TAN HWEE PIN! and the guest-of-honour. Talking to each other in Hokkien.
And Ms Tan looked at us, sighed and shook her head, "Aiyoh. Young girls leh. Young girls still walk so slow."
"Ms Tan, we must enjoy the scenery! This is nature... the trees, the flowers, the monkeys, everything!"
So as Nina and I walked, we skipped along to our rendition of "I'm Too Sexy" and other retro disco hits.
And we decided to be good people of Singapore and picked up a soggy wet cardboard box left in the wilderness.
"Wah, so thoughtful of you!" came the reply from Ms Tan.
And we made the task look more complicated that it is, and Ms Tan and her Hokkien-speaking friend went off in the distance. And alas! We took of at the speed of 0.00000000000000001 footstep per second, picking up bottles and pieces of trash on the way.
As we arrived at the finishing line (the cardboard box and his gang left in a dustbin at a bus stop), singing "I Feel Pretty" in odd Spanish accents, we walked down the "aisle" in an enchanting acapella version of The Wedding March.
Ah! How sweet. Exchanged vows and all at that magical red line on the ground.
And now we present to you... Mrs. Nina Lin-Saburi and Mrs. Fangying Saburi-Lin!
And now, NDP.
My sole purpose at the NDP are as follows:
1. Be a babysitter to my younger cousins.
2. Be a motivator to my younger cousins.
3. Umbrella holder.
4. Excess fun-pack caddy.
5. To watch the fireworks.
6. To watch the F16s.
That's all. No sign of patriotism, yeah? My heart is still in Europe.
Welup, what can I say, every year's NDP is about the same, full of gimmicks and et ceteras, the only difference is the fireworks! This year's fireworks are nice.
Full stop.
