I was part of the mobile column on National Day

*pauses for applause*

and i've gotta say it was a gratifying experience. i mean... WOW i don't even catch the parade on TV let alone scramble for scarce tickets to watch it live noramlly and I was IN it this time.

It almost seemed worth every weekend i'd burnt sitting in that Veh Comd seat waiting for rehearsals to start, having to suffer the company of my pyshologically-unsound driver yada yada on about some controversial topic like
"Murderers are good"
whilst in the sweltering heat or pouring rain.

After saluting the PRESIDENT (UH-HUH!)
i stood on the vehicle seat as we continued towards Yishun. People were waving, kids screaming, some teenagers were swearing, babies were crying - pretty much at me.

But hey, it wasn't exactly a stroll in the park, cause I was so fixated on the image i was protraying to the public...

Was my smile crooked?

How's my wave?

Am i smiling enough?

But besides that - was the akwardness of the 'NON-wave'. It happens when you wave at the people and - they don't wave back.



That's when you feel like a damn fool.


But the heartwarming actions of the crowds was far more prevalent and as i got increasingly 'High' from each dose of waves cum screams I thought to myself...
