This is the first time I am participating in the NDP 2009 not as an audience but as one of the participants. At the beginning, the reason I joined this parade was to accompany one of my friends who was keen to be a participant. Best of all, we are the only 2 person from our union who will be participating in the event.
When many of my friends knew that I'm participating in the NDP, their first remarks was 'you so free arr.. got nothing to do is it?? or Why you want to waste time on this.., aiyoh..'. I was quite upset with their remarks. Although these are casual remarks, I feel that they should think before saying anything.. What if next time you participated in events which you are interested but I give you some remarks that you dun like to listen?? Will you feel upset?? If you can’t dun like the way people say things to you then please dun do it again..
I did not regret joining my friend in this event as I do enjoy myself during the past few training. Although I do not really understand the meaning of the marching commands at the first two training, I do managed to get some help from friends to translate the meaning to me.. hehe.. Though after the trainings, I do feel tired and hungry but I really enjoy myself.. keke
The participants that I have met in the trainings are mostly at the age around 40 & above and there are some who have been participating in the NDP for more than 10 years.. Amazing right?? Although all of us are representing different unions, we still have the same common goal which was to do the best during NDP..
Tomorrow is my fifth training that I will be attending.. In each and every training, our instructors has been teaching us new command.. As of now, I can see that everyone are trying their best to follow the instructions and ensure that they are working well with the rest of the participants.. 加油!! Let’s us work towards our goal together.. =)
