Today was my first thinking day parade, and it's one i''ll never forget.
We had been practicing so hard for this day, and i'm glad it paid off.
However, just before the parade, Wei Qi got cramps and could'nt join us.
I could tell all of us were shocked and abit panicked because Weiqi was our commander and we had been practicing with her for so long...
During the parade, when the national anthem was being played, i don't know if anyone noticed, but i was trembling from head to toe, because next would be the school song and then our part. I am proud to say that we managed to do just fine with Kah Min as timer, although our bangs were not fully coordinated, but i still think that we were awesome :) Way to go colour party!!!
After all of it was over, we ran to the side of the quadrangle, and i gave Gladys darling a huge hug. A surge of relief, pride and joy swept over me, and for a moment, i felt like crying... Those moments of uncertainty, panic and pain as a result of practicing, was most definitely worth it. i won't forget the feeling colour party has given me :) Its awesome.
i don't know if anyone felt the same was as me, and although i might have been the only one, i will always treasure and remember this feeling :)
However, as i told this to my friends not from guides, they found me weird to be so concerned about 'just a parade' and no matter how much i tried to convince them, i realised that sometimes you have to BE THERE to truly understand.
I love my Nanyang Guides family <3
