HCI NDP... (Term 3 Blog 4)

It has been a week since the HCI School-based NDP ended. All of us had a sense of satisfaction, since we done quite well and we made the parade a success as a whole and exhibited the true spirit of Hwa Chong Uniform Groups. It was indeed tiring, I must admit, since standing still for half an hour is not an easy thing to do, but we all managed to overcome the challenge of lacking the stamina. However, this was not the main attraction of the day. Instead, it was the line of performances prepared by the other CCAs. The members of Fencing and Wushu put up a show of sparring with one another, and it was kind of thrilling for all of us. Furthermore, other CCAs like NCC, choir (and more I can't remember) put up performances unique to their CCA, like the precision drill by NCC cadets. I particularly liked the NCC precision drill, although I have no idea why. I think it is probably due to the fact that I love neat stuff, especially if they are done in a group of people. I have no idea if it is because of my CA but I love it when things are done together in a team, when the members are united and doing their best. I could see that the NCC cadets had a hard time preparing for this since they had to coordinate properly and follow the pace of such a fast song (Dirty Little Secret). This goes to show that they are united as one and confident of their own actions during the actual performance. The final performance was by the choir, which I do not think was much except for the graceful voices which have been trained over the months. Personally, I felt that they were quite good, and was slightly annoyed when my friend was boasting about how he could do better.

All in all, I feel that the National Day celebration was a nice and memorable day. I am definitely looking forward to the next one, which will be coming in twelve months.
