bangbangsquad, rvnps107, we rock the world. (:

yes, after a night of smiles and tears, it marks another new beginning.
the beginning of nco-ship.
so far, 3 acts have passed.
we're still adapting to the change, we're trying real hard.
yes, things really arent that easy, we finally experienced that.
all of us are missing cadet life.. missing those times when we did dumb but meaningful things together, as a squad.
those were wonderful times, never to be forgotten.
but now, our focus is on the unit.
time to pull ourselves together and work hard, for the unit.
the challenge is here and we have to overcome it.
trying our best may not bring us success, but at least we tried.
quotes ky: "Time for us to come together as NCOs of River Valley NPCC Unit"
jiayou sqdmates, lets do this together(:

rvnps107 is the love.
'cos you know bangbang rocks.

here's something meaningful, just re-read sir eric's mail.. and yep. the attachment.
it's meaningful, very true and made me learn something..

I’ve Learned…

I've learned… that if someone says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it.

I've learned...that the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.

I've learned...that just one person saying to me, "You've made my day!" makes my day.

I've learned...that sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.

I've learned...that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

I've learned...that it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

I've learned...that under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

I've learned...that to ignore the facts does not change the facts.

I've learned...that the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.

I've learned...that everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.

I've learned…that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned… that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned… that it pays to believe in miracles.

I've learned… that you shouldn't go through life with a catchers mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.

I've learned… that if you want to cheer yourself up, you should try cheering someone else up.

I've learned… that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned… that you can tell a lot about a man by the way he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned… that making a living is not the same thing as making a life.

I've learned… that there are people who love you dearly but just don't know how to show it.

I've learned...that opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.

I've learned...that when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

I've learned...that one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.

I've learned...that a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

I've learned...that I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.

I've learned...that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.

I've learned...that life is tough, but I'm tougher.

I've learned… that I still have a lot to learn.

well, very true.
indeed, there's still alot for us to learn, along the way.
im sure we will grow along the way, changing, hopefully, becoming alot better. (:

HAPPY BOXING DAY:D

YAY IM ALIVE:D
i mean.. YAY! CD IS OVERRRRRRRRRRR~~

three cheers for bangbang! cuz we survived cd!! hahhaa.
well, i still cant believe that we actually spent four hours, waiting to take a 7 question paper. LOL.

but yep, this year's not as stressed as last year..
last year the mood was totally SERIOUS.
but this year's practical was funny k.
hahaha.
was tested by sir kokleong. and was casualty for alicia, jingxian, etc.
being casualty is fun kay!
hahahaha. and sirs cher-e, kokleong and ma'am angel are super funny. they talked aloud to each other in the room and their conversation is funny.
and there was sth like..

"hey, that girl's mine."
"orh. 男的是你的，女的是我的。"

sound a little wrong yea.. hahahah.
and they said sth abt matthew..

"orh, 我用完matthew就给你。"

made him sound like some item? hahaha.
no offence yep. (:
p/s. sirs and ma'am are super nice. (:

and we 'studied' in the container classroom for four hours(?) waiting to lunch and take the paper.
nco jingyi took super long trying to get us to decide on what we wanna makan.
she super cute. hahaha. the 'chicken rice, duck rice' action. hahahhaa. laughed like hell.

in the end we decided on mc chicken + fries for everybody.
and cuz we THOUGHT our strength was TWENTY FIVE, turned out that we had only TWENTY THREE. so yep, we paid for another two burgers + one fries extra -.-
thanks to jingxian, ongmin and alicia for sharing the eight bucks with me. hahaha.
so yep,
conclusion: we shall pack our own lunch to school next tuesday. LOL. save all the trouble yep.

oonhim, jingxian: for putting in all the effort in the planning, buying of stuff, etc. it was really great having you guys around. i love you girls!
tianli: for being the one who's always cleaning up our room dutifully, keeping our room so clean and free of any xiaoqiang(s) or lizard(s) (:
matthew and jovi: for staying over with tianli and me for the last night. saved us from boredom and rotting.. it was really damn funny when matthew joked about jovi. the dai di games were really nice, we shall play more in the future k. xD and jovi's no rulez shirt was a joke ok. but really, it was really nice of you guys to stay over last night, and well, thanks (:

basically, THANKS to everybody who came/helped, you guys were really great. (:
and also made our lives much easier.. ;D

well.. let's talk about the chalet itself..

16dec2008 (first day)
9 am met at fajar lrt with jingxian, ongmin, xiuhan, tianli, matthew, jovi and hancong..
went up to get charcoal. and went on our way to tiongbahru plaza to 'lunch'.
ate dessert with tianli while the rest ate their lunch..
red ruby is nice k. (:
after lunching, the rest got dessert too.
the guys started playing with the food lo. hahaha. so mature yea~ xD
and after that we set off to pasir ris mrt.
took a wrong bus, alighted at a further bus stop and bus-ed 11 to e-hub..
went shopping at ntuc, took two of the trolleys k. damn cool. wahahhaa.
and we went around the whole ntuc buying all the stuff we needed.
after buying we wheeled one of the trolleys to the chalet.
after leaving the stuff outside the chalet, tianli and i wheeled back the empty trolley back to e-hub, but was super embarrasing cuz it kept "vibrating" and produced weird sound along the way, on uneven ground. super funny.
then when we were walking through the escape carpark, there was this small guy who said:
"you all funny ar, take empty one for what?"
we stopped and laughed like hell when he went off. damn funny k. xD joke lah.
then we went for lunch at mr.chicken rice.
$5.50 k. damn ex. and worse still, the tofu was spicy, nearly killed me. hahaha.
after that we made our way back to the chalet and stoned for awhile before we went to start the fire..
basically the guys like matthew and jovi were starting the fire, with the help of khinyin..
and the first attempt failed cuz the fire burnt through the base of aluminium trayl and the pressure caused it to burn below, burning a HOLE in the plastic table we used. :X
super smelly can. and i think we super qiang2. :X
so we changed plan and placed the aluminium tray directly on the seat outside the chalet and yep, it went well..
although we managed to get the bbq pits ready, according to sir oh and khinyin, our sqd's bbq skills still didnt improve.. hahahah. think we're really helpless when it comes to cooking. xD
and basically, bbq was like usual, just that there were alot alot of food, just kept bbq-ing and bbq-ing.
it was fun though, bbq-ing with sqdmates:D
around 8.30pm, six of us went k-box. :D
tianli, me, vanessa, pris, jingxian and xinyi. :D
was freaking fun..
i got the k-box membership, on behalf of the squad.. sqdmates, anytime wanna go k-box tell me k? (:
the card is freaking nice and cute. ;D
the k-box cost arnd sixteen per person, got two drinks per person and sang from 8.30pm to 1.40pm..
damn fun lo. we got room 11. :D
p/s. the lemon honey/honey lemon(hot) damn nice, although a little too sweet, but good for throat, can sing more if drink that. [i drank two cups of that]
so we sang sang sang.
damn sad that jingxian didnt sing any songs):
i wanna hear her sing lah. ):
and pris only sang a few songs.
haha. i like singing with tianli, super nice:D
and with vanessa too, canto songs by linfeng. :D
i love 'my love', which i sang with chuan;D
and we took photos. (:
ohya, got one of the kbox guy damn funny. cuz i said i wanted hot lemon honey. then cuz vanessa or xinyi told him all the drinks wanna less ice. then he was like telling me hot lemon honey no ice how to less ice. LOL. laughed like hell. hahaha.
its nice going kbox with squadmates, shall go again next time yea? (:
1.40pm liddat we went back to chalet..
me, jingxian and tianli went to bathe..
wanted to bathe at poolside toilet but got too many ppl so only jingxian got to bathe there..
saw sheihyin(?), sheihli's sis there, super qiao k. :D
and then we went to the downtown toilet to bathe instead..
after bathing, we went back..
then tianli and i went to the poolside benches to talk.
i think we talked till 5 liddat..
its like damn funny..
cuz i was so tired that i was talking but mentally falling aslp.
then i talktalktalk, dont know what i was talking..
then suddenly tianli was like 'HUH.'.
xia dao wo, i jumped and woke up.
i rmbed i talked super randomly and said sth abt boxes.. LOL.
laughed like hell can, what a joke..
then the two of us made our way back at arnd five, and went to slp till arnd seven..

17dec2008 (second day)
woke up, washed up, breakfasted on cup noodles with braised peanuts (canned).
i think i cut my thumb while opening the can or sth, so yea, got a deep cut that bleed.
pain but haihao, not very visible. lol.
then jingxian, pris and vanessa left, went home..
then the the five of us wanted to go escape, went to ask the guys..
then well. they didnt want to come with us, and we had tickets for six, so khinyin came with us.
he's nice(:
and we went to play the flipper first..
khinyin commented that it was like bbq-ing us..
the scorching sun and the turning of the seats. hahaha. super funny, and tianli and i laughed at him throughout the whole ride. xD
then we went viking i think..
sat on the topmost with dear oonhim. :D
damn funny. khinyin sat infront of us..
then he at first not scared.. then cuz the two of us screamed then he tensed up...
hahahhaha. oonhim was damn hyper. xDD
was freaking fun..
then we went to the family coaster.. sat with tianli. hahaha. fun k.
damn sad that the rainbow and inverter was closed):
then i forgot what else we took..
then the guys called up and a series of things happened which i wont elaborate on..
then we lunch-ed at the kopitiam at downtown there..
then went cheers to get mineral water before going back to chalet..
the guys played cards in the nco room..
oonhim, xinyi and feli 'napped' on the bottom flr..
me and tianli rested on the stairs..
khinyin was on the second flr, playing psp.
then it was damn funny cuz tianli wanted to return khinyin the money for the mineral water on behalf of xinyi they all.
then he dowan take.
so they started debating and it was freaking funny..
there was sth like..
ky: orhor.. ex squad i/c 的话不要听了hor...
tl: 你都讲你是 EX squad i/c 了..
-laughter-
ky: later i pump you then you know..
tl: 都没有CP.. 还有我有medical reasons 所以不可以 pump 我.. hahaha.
ky: 好 lor, then 我 pump 你的 squad..
damn funny k. i laughed like hell. hahaha.
then cuz the three girls sleeping then khinyin sat with us on the stairs and stared his story-telling..
freaking funny.. something abt 西游记.. go meet 周公 and fought with him..
used all sorts of weapons.. freaking funny lo. xD
interesting entertainment can. xD
then they woke up, then linhan came..
then ex-ncos (guys) came along..
so yea, khinyin went to join his sqd while the ten of us went to escape...
funny lah. we went viking.. and the guys got freaking funny expressions lor.
i laughed like hell at them..
then we went to take a few of the other rides too.. then we took a photo before kenneth went off.
nice k. :D
then we went back chalet..
then feli, oonhim, xinyi had to go at arnd sixplus.
then tianli and i started cleaning up the room since nobody else was really arnd..
after that we went dinner with the guys at the e-hub kopitiam..
they ate damn fast and went to get drinks first before going chalet..
then when the two of us reached the chalet, matthew and jovi was on their way to send linhan and hancong off.
lalala. matthew and jovi decided to stay over:D

then the four of us sat on the stairs watching tv. :D
tianli and i boiled potatoes with the kettle. damn nice k. :D

and after the show, jnrs went off to arcade while ex-ncos went to the other room..
the four of us played dai di on the second flr.

after that we came back and continued dai di upstairs.
super funny...
played damn long.. and jovi was so tired..
then we talktalktalk..
talked abt japanese prank shows, itc, and alot other funny stuff.
and jovi was complaining that i laughed super loudly._.
then we all decided to slp at arnd twoplus.
four of us slept horizontally on the two beds.
jovi and matthew shared a pillow, tianli didnt want a pillow, so i took a pillow.
then we were talking talking..
then tianli fell aslp, followed by jovi..
then the two of us talked till jovi complained again that i was too loud._.

then we went to wake clarine and sharman up..
then went downstairs and waited for jnrs to wake up.
then we got everything and check-ed out..

well, sir eric came back and left us with a few questions..

#1. Why do you come for np?
well, jingxian told sir eric that it's because of squadmates.
i do agree, since squadmates are the only ones who goes through everything with us.
we pt together, get scolded together, stand together, cheer together, laugh and cry together.
they are our source of motivation, people who never fail to encourage us when we're down.
during tough times, i'll just have to look up and seeing my squadmates going through all these with me, i'll endure.
np does mean alot to me, it's something that happened to change me alot.
i used to be kinda of soft spoken, quiet, stay-in-the-corner kind.
np made me open up, made me a more cheerful and high person.
i now enjoy making new friends, interacting with all kinds of people.
i come for np cuz i learn new things from it.
and of course, for the people who brought the change in me -- squadmates, ncos, CIs, HOs, TOs and even jnrs, since they joined us this year.

#2. Why do your squadmates come for np?
most of them do come for the sake of squadmates. im sure most of the girls do.
and im sure some guys come for np cuz they love our unit, although they never will admit it.
they come for np cuz its their cca, somewhere they're able to perform, not academically.
im pretty sure after this few years in np, all of us have developed feelings for this unit, and some may even say its a habit to come.
but still, i'll still believe that they do love rvnp, and of course, love everyone who belongs to the unit.

and oops. i forgot the third question._.

im pretty sure that the guys dont hate rvnp.
well, i guess they just hadnt find that passion, to show their love for the unit.
im sure one day they'll realise the importance of having squadmates around during acts.
im sure one day they'll enjoy the existence of having squadmates during acts.
im sure one day they'll understand the pleasure of pumping, falling in, getting scolded together with squadmates.

squadmates are not only friends.
squadmates drill together,
squadmates learn together,
squadmates pump together,
squadmates bond with each other,
squadmates have that invisible bond between each other.

i love rvnp,
i love squadmates.

today is wenting sarah day. :D
ps. look at the date. haha.

and well, ytd's act was not that tough but kinda of sian cuz only twelve were present.
was tired from lack of sleep during chalet, that's why i was dozing off during lunch. LOL.

well, act was 8am-5pm ytd.
had drill(half u), cc and interaction.
hmms, i didnt know that we nid to fall in by 7.50am, so when im done changing into half u, it was alr like 7.55am? and some sqdmates arrived then, so in the end we were super late._.
and well, alot of sqdmates were off to class chalets and was feeling ._.
and well, we started off with drill, taken by ncos junjie, shannon, huimin, wilson, jiele, and more.
it was pretty alright, just that i lost my voice-.-
and sizing was really bad k.
it was like. SATU! DUA! SATU! DUA! ------ 'imaginary dua'
LOL. the ncos kept laughing at me k. LOL.
was joke of the day. and i think it was nco junjie or wilson who said that it was like the volume getting softer from one end to the other, till it was me, when the volume's off. LOL.
super paiseh.
and we drill-ed. did the usual stuff. but was kinda of confused when more ncos came and some said to treat them as if they were in half u, some didnt. and we didnt know which commands to execute and which ones not to. LOL.
and we played the statc game again. and ncos were trying to cheat us by standing beside us and making the turning sound with their shoes. LOL. and ky was freaking funny. kept laughing and commenting about tianli's navigation. cuz she either turns too much or too little.
and according to ky, it was like asking her to turn north but she turned north-east. LOL.
ok. we're super bad._.
haha. and we talked to nco jiele and junjie halfway through drill. and we asked nco junjie alot questions and most of it he says is secret. LOL. and ncos wilson and dont know who were holding rifles and mimicking the ten brothers show, the qiang1bi4 thing. super funny!
and well, after drill, we had cc which was tent-pitching.
hmms. we had pegging session before we tent pitched.
and ongmin the pro managed to peg in like 5s?
LOL. and ky was totally shocked and unable to accept the fact that he's slower than ongmin. xD
and ncos were saying that nco leetheng was trying to train our whole sqd to be pegging pros, all can join cc comp. hahhaa.
after which we pitched tents, in 2 groups. was bad. took super long and due to lack of practice, we forgot how to tie the knots._.
and we went for lunch, when i rained super heavily. lol.
and i dozed off during lunch. and we went back for cc continued.
but due to the lack of classrooms, we ended up sitting along the corridors, and talking to ncos bernice and jingyi.
well, they answered most of our questions, and well, we were glad (:
and they talked to us abt subject combi too. gave us advice. (:
thanks alot!
and we had a mini intra squad cc comp to kill time and to revise. heh. :D
well, then we went to pitch tents for the second time, this time only 1 tent. was much better than the first and yea, a little faster i suppose?
hahaa. and we un-pitched our tents and and were dismissed after the long day.

was really tired ytd. super.
haha. but i still loved acts with sqdmates. hope next act will have a much better attendance yea? (:

takecares peepos.

toodles,
wenting loves everybody(:

北极圈
ongmadPIG intoduced me the song - 北极圈 by F.I.R.
love the lyrics man(:
shall post up the lyrics~~ ;D

今天　寂寞感觉忽然又出现
浮现　过去梦中的画面
哭泣　因为不想伪装悲伤那一面
当你　头也不回离开北极圈
有谁能为我　捡起了伤痛　
洒向了海中(天空)　能重新再来过
我不要听借口　我只想一人走掉
把泪留在街角　我不过希望你会听到
爱情化作　一片片冰雪单调
不用你多说　我现在通通都撩
我不要求什么　我只想不被打扰
把爱留在街角　就当你永远不会看到
记忆化作　极光出现那一秒
我开始微笑　以后会努力过得　更好
