Hi.

Just return from school. It was quite a tiring day. Surprisingly, not many of my friends mock at me, although some claim that they did not do that on purpose as they did not know about the ranks.

I think our unit had made ourselves a joke today (Is that how to phrase it?). It started off with a rain this morning and we were at the EP3 shed. when the rain stop, someone came and announce that there is still flag raising. The whole unit was told to proceed to the terraces immediately. Imagine a whole group of people in blue running like crazy towards the terraces. It must have been quite a funny sight as some other students were laughing while some simply froze in their tracks. But there was not all.

During the parade, a command was given without the timing. this resulted in quite a 'chaos' and we were all quite embarassed, especially when the speech was given, commenting on what a good unit we have been. Some of the students present obviously found it funny and were loudly shouting 'Good!' in chinese with a deep chinese accent (particularly those from sec 2 aphelion...).

Today had been quite a good day in fact. I admit that the training after school was very slack, we spent 2 hours constructing a flag pole with spars and ropes, then another hour doing baton drill before training ends. But it had been quite tiring.

Today is also the last day our new geography teacher, miss tay teaches our class. Just wanna wish her all the best and success in her career. Anyway i also got back my geog paper today, scoring 20 out of 30. Quite a lousy grade, B3 if i'm not wrong. Now i get so jealous with the 2 classmates with the highest score of 27 out of 30. But they had always been good at geog anyway, one was the best geog student last year and the other scoring 92 for the end-of-year paper last year. To think i was quite good at geog last year too, A1 for both terms. And to think that this year will be a different story.

Sigh. Don't understand why i've got SO MUCH to say today. Enough for now, i guessed. Tomorrow have to go for marshal duty for the CSM, after that have to visit old folks. Again it will be a long day, 6.30 in school until 5 when dismissed from the old age home. Okay, bye for now.
