npcc sea

Today, I realize what NPCC is truly about. Today, I have more fun than I ever had. Today, is such an eventful day. Today, I realize that NPCC sea is what my heart truly lies in. Today is such a GREAT day.
Firstly, eelyn, yihui and I were late, because Yan and Ling both felt unwell, and so we postponed the time we meet and go to school together. Yep. And guessed what, when we just came out of 190, we realized they left without us!!!!! sighh. So we are supposed to get to the HarbourFront Jetty there by ourselves. At first we wanted to go home instead, but at minute changed our minds and took mrt to Harbour Front. Then, we wanted to take taxi, but the uncle pointed out to us that we're just next to it! Haha. Apparently it's deep inside some shopping centre. So we ran and finally found the rest of the rgnpcc people. Felt rather maluated. Haha. Cos we're late and everyone was waiting for us. After some waiting and stuff, got onto the cruise. At first it was just some introduction, and lecturing. In order not to let whatever happened during obs kayaking to repeat, I ate fisherman's friend in dozens and dozens, one after another. And guess it helped, 'cos after a while I stopped eating it but didnt get seasick at all throughout the whole journey. So i guess [hope] that I'll get any more of those motion sickness. Whee. Then we used the seaman binoculars and had fun escaping from the bugs [cockroaches, to be specific] that seemed to infest this place. Haha. And jiacong and some others are so funny! I think we made the most noise out of the three schools present there [ACS (sea) and Springfield (land)]. Oops. =[ Might have irritated them. We're just an extremely enthusiastic batch+one sec2! Haha. Even our erm Ma'am and Sir were amused. Ok maybe exasperated by us. Or mildly irritated. And very amused. Okaayy. Then we smelled chicken mushroom instant noodles!!! And got hungry and sat in front of the food counter (is that what u call it?) and waiting for lunch to come.. Finally it did! Hohoho. Ate lunch, still wary of cockroaches. Then after lunch we switched stations with Springfield, and learnt how to read maps. And itw as fun! Haha. Had quite a bit of laughter. After that, we just slacked. At first we played games, but after that quite a few of us fell asleep. Hmm. The TV was showing some cartoon and it was coupled with laughter from the others who were not sleeping -.-'''. Then we woke up and had some lectures again, on piracy and the duty of coastal guards and stuffs. Rather interesting. Listened to this NPCC song. After that, we celebrated birthday for the April borns. -hint hint. what is coming? :)- [Apparently there's this guy in ACS who's born today! First of April! How cool is that? Besides black friday, this is the best day to be born in, IMHO. Haha. 7 April borns altogether I think. Three from our school, three from another school and our Sea Instructor. Marcus Sir. Oh he and our Ma'am are both really really nice! (: 'cos they are so funny, doesn't scold us for being so noob, and are incredibly patient with us. ahh. That's why being a noobie is fun k! (: haha.] anyway. [whee ser! Aprils rock rightt.] Cake! Served cake. Had tea break. Had some fun. Reached the destination. Err then we were dismissed! Whee. Went home by train. Then when I came out of the train, saw my hhd instructor. -.-''' She saw me I think. Then I just fixed my specs, went for the class. When I went into the studio, she was like 'I saw you just now I think. You were the one in front on me right?' and I had to say yes. Haha. I daoed her! (:
So now, sitting here, I summarize today. I think NPCC sea is really fun and exciting, unlike what some people perceive the CCA as. Our batch is a fun batch, and I had more laughter today than I thought I could ever have. Maybe this CCA is more suited for me, I don't know. I just feel that I am not the CO type, who'll sit down there and prac/play all day long. I am those type who wants challenges and excitement in life and NPCC sea definitely has provided me with that, from the few sessions we had. I thought maybe I'll quit next year, if juggling two CCAs get tiring. But from the look of it, I'll struggle to my last bit and not letting it go. It's like realizing a childhood dream, to a certain extent. I've always wanted to be a policeman/woman when I was young, before wanting to become a detective (read too much Sherlock Holmes and Hardy Boys man), and then I read James Bond and thought being a CIA is cool, and then X-files came along and being a FBI agent seemed to be a great career choice, and now, I love CSI (esp. NY! but that's out of the point) and wants to be a forensic scientist. BLOOD! Yum. haha. WHEE. So, now I am having a start there, huhh. And I've always loved the sea, partly influenced by my grandparents, who were both from the Navy!! Haha.
RGNPCC sea! (: I love you and I love today. (:
The sea. The storm. Let's sail in the uncharted waters. (: Because we dare. (:
