so today was appreciation dinner over at jurong camp. for both the army & volunteers..
one more leaders' appreciation day & ndp09 will be officially over. i'll miss the days, but life still goes on! chingay 10 is up next! (:
the dinner was held in a hall. macham like secondary school orientation like that. & it's quite 'chui'. hahaha. okay lah, but the rushing down was worth it cause it's been two weeks since ndp passed & it's nice to see people again that i'd always see them at least once a week for the past two months.
it's like my life now revolves around ndp people. haha. yihan says it's quite gay, cause we meet up almost every other day after ndp ended! i do know that these kind of days will be over soon... that's why i'm taking time out now to treasure the last few moments together. haha. sounds gay! thinking back, it's quite surprising how everyone got so close together... and i'd many of my firsts with them - going to henderson waves; going to pulau ubin; late night durian session + ECP; camwhoring at the airport... all these wonderful memories...
i'll be really sad if we all just part our ways as time goes by.. i know it's unavoidable lah.. well, at least, we still have the memories together! this is one of the reasons why i'll always bring my camera out & snap crazily. it takes two sides to make a friendship last, but as time goes by, i don't know how much effort will we wanna spend to keep this special friendship going. but definitely, i'll put in my 101%, cause these friends are hard to come by. how many times will you meet a group of friends whom you can hit off so well the very first time.
had a nice short catch up with ahtham, the top sector army ic that i worked quite closely with during shows. i still rmbed he's the first army guy that came to talk to me during CR3 and he left me a very good impression cause he's damn friendly. haha. he was saying how 'UP THERE' (sorry ah, alot of army terms recently. haha. cause we're going thru our BMT 101. lol) we're on the actual day.. and his friend from green sector was saying that how come he's like quite 'gum' with the ushers and we hala-ed quite alot. and what makes me really happy was that i think this time round, i succeeded in my communication & PR skills. hahaha.
some people may think that we're flirting with the army guys, always talking to them and laughing together with them... please man, this is call PR skills lah can. if you don't communicate, how can you work things out right... how would things go so smoothly? how come there's no major cock-ups? one thing i've learnt from many of my experiences, is to treat your working buddy like a friend first.. & things will definitely become so much easier. & it works this time round.
i've tried so hard to make everything work nicely and smoothly & all i get is "you always flirting with XXX up there lor." how do you think i'll feel? honestly, the feeling sucks. can't someone just understand what's PR? sigh. i know it's all over, but i just don't feel good when i hear about this. even if it's just a passing remark that might be meant to be a joke. some things, just cannot anyhow say, it hurts, a lot. specially when the words come out from a person that you thought understood you well enough.
whatever lah. shouldn't get emo over this! (: anyway, school has been quite alright so far! and speaking of which, i need to go and read my readings for tmr's lecture. it's freaking a lot of pages! =/ but i promised to myself that i'll be a obedient student, so i'm gonna read before i sleep!
sat finally meeting up with ark buddies! after so long! i'm very looking forward! (:
