155th Anniversary Parade
What a day it was on the Saturday! I was pack with a lot of tasks to do. Firstly, I had to attend music class which was from 8 in the morning to about 8.45am. After which I had my Swimming Sliver Test. It was nerve wrecking but I managed to overcome the test. I passed in the end. The test was held at Choa Chu Kang Swimming Complex and it was from 12pm to 1pm. Then the big event came.
At about 5pm, the Parade started. Many parents and ex-students of Sji came and witnessed the changing of commands between the current CSM (Company Sargeant Major) and the upcoming CSM of the 6 uniformed groups: Scouts, NPCC , NCC (Land), NCC (Air) and Military Band. Forced into standing in the hot blazing sun, I almost felt as though i was going to faint. However, I carried on and managed to stayed on in the Parade.
This Parade was very special because firstly, the Military Band was celebrating their 50th Anniversary and secondly, this was the first year Sec 1s got to march on the parade. Befor my batch, not a single Sec 1 batch was able to march for A( I don't know why) For that I believe that this year's AP, although this is my 1st year in AP, was the best among all the APs.
