SINGAPORE'S 48!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SINGAPORE! 
Alright I shall start out with this year's celebration with my school first alright :D
SO, as usual, parade was what kicked off every NationalDay. Band had to play music while the UGs marched. JYSS's parade's the most unique I've ever seen. Instead of having continents/companies ( idk what its exactly called but you get my point ) in front of the whole school, different UG will be marching on one block. So its like 1-2 UG(s) to one level. They will be facing the parade square so everyone has a good view. The parade's very grand and when everyone stomps after the music stops, its like the whole block's shaking. Awesome. And given that we're Sec3s this year, our fellow schoolmates were commanding and flag-holders. Everything went sorta ok, nothing was abrupt ( I guess ) but for my band, many many members were late, even the door was opened late. We were all rushing. But in all the messiness and rushing, I'm glad that nothing serious was wrong. But we didn't get to debrief the band and take a picture :( 

Anyways, One of my (new) Piccolo's spring was very weak and one of the Key was stuck, it must be sent for servicing and I didn't get to use it for any rehearsals. I had to use the old one which I'm not used to at all. The sound was so bad, so airy. BUT IM SO GLAD I MANAGE TO USE IT FOR THE ACTUAL PERFORMANCE. The sound was much more smoother. :) 

Right. So, after the parade we had some UpperSec traditional games interclass competition. My besties and I took part in scrabble. Lets just say that our score wasn't as fantastic but it wasn't the worse ok ? There was some time before the next event > Teacher's soccer match. So, HC, ZK, Vora and I sneaked up to the PA room to Jam out to our music. Amazing experience ! We didn't bother to go down to watch the match when it was time. FunRun seem more interesting. But I kinda wanted to watch it haahaah so yeah. After the match was some assembly performance. I wouldn't call it a concert cause the only performance was our choir singing to NDP theme songs :3 It kinda bored Hc and I heeheheheh. 

ALRIGHT MOVING ON TO TODAY'S CELEB! 
Mom's side Famz's gathering! :D SO MUCH GOOD FOOD I HAD. It was kinda like a pot-luck ( idk what you call it ) which means everyone had to contribute food! I've come to realise that, my family is so bonded and fun to be with. We often have gatherings that brings everyone fun joy and laughter! Adults enjoy time with their other half, kids go crazy with all the pressies they receive from others! Its always a beautiful sight to see everyone loved and happy. 

There were games today, organised by my dearest aunt ( and famz ) and my beloved grand aunt! It started off with forfeiting those who didn't follow the dress code> Red & White. They were told to dance to Psy's Gentleman. >:D

The first game's a "traditional game" which my family will definitely play every games session. >de Musical Puzzle< I guess it was inspired by musical chairs but for this, everyone has to pass around something-> be it a box or a cup of water. But today was the cup of water and when the music stops, the one holding the cup will have to pick a card. It may be a forfeit or a lucky one where you win a prize. 
It may be a simple game but it brought us much laughter. :D 

Next's >The best of the Best where we all get into different groups and for every round, a member will be nominated to compete in various theme for the best of the best. Great experience! 
After that was a few hilarious games which I wont exactly go into detail, SO here's some pictures!

Today was fun, everyone enjoyed I guess. well, at least the food :) Had some catching up with my lovely cousins together with their girlfriend/boyfriend. Met my oldest cousin's boyfriend, Nicholas, for the first time :)














 OKK so I guess that's all for this year's celebration! :)
Xx, Sammyyy
