NDP 07

Finally, it ended. 4 months of marching, getting every of my Saturday burned to prepare for the big show on 9th August. Now i realized what they mean by 台上一分钟, 台下十年工。 (what happen on the stage maybe one minutes, but it take ten years to prepare). It may not take us 10 years to prepare all this, but it can be say to be tough to drag your feet to book in at 8am every Saturday morning and booking out as late as 10pm at night, missing out on the gathering with your buddy and getting yourself tired after one day of training under the hot sun, but all in all, its worth it as the parade was a success. After all, finally this parade is the last of 2007 having took part in the SAF day parade too, summing up an eventful 2007. I will miss the gossip session in the waiting area before the parade, the guys who joined in the gossip, the rush to return arm after the parade to book out fast and also the every Monday off! NDP 07: a memorable parade.
