Yesterday was NDP first NE show! And this is going to be a long post. Btw, it rhymes HAHA!
It was quite an interesting and unique experience. In a good way though hahaha.
I wore the Red NDP usher uniform, took a pouch out for the first time in my life(?), had Red visor dangling from the pouch, and took public transport there!
I didn't want to bring any bag or what, but I realised that the shorts didn't have a pocket just before leaving the house! So I borrowed my bro's pouch. And I tell you, it feels really weird okay. I'm serious! You feel as if people are staring at you cos you know you look outstanding and weird. Or maybe cos they're really staring at you LOL.
Met Jinsi at the Dhoby, then trained to City Hall. After a while, it doesn't feel as weird already. Especially after you see other ushers walking there, and when you've a friend along with you hoho!
My job was taking temperature for VIPs together with Jasmine. We were at the lift lobby, so the VIPs have to take temperature before taking the lift up to the VIP lounge. And I think it's the slackest duty you'll ever have LOL. We were supposed to take the temperature of the VIPs, but most of the time, they told us to just let them pass prolly cos they found it inconvenient to stop them. So end up, I spent most of the time sitting down doing nothing, playing with the thermometer, talking to the other ushers hehe.
Yea, and there's also those very VIPs, like DPM, the biggest defence guy, the biggest land/sea/air guy, and some other big people. Some of them quite dao, but a few of them are really quite friendly. They'll smile and say hi to you and stuff hoho.
Dinner was quite YumMee! And I was the DinnerIC for the first dinner shift! How cool is that LOL. But it's actually nothing much though. I just had to ensure that those supposed to go for dinner, went for dinner (LOL chim phrasing) , and to bring them to dinner area.
Watched the parade after dinner, then went back to the lift lobby for duty just before it ended. So, yes, I missed the fireworks. It's not exactly a bad thing though. I'll get to see it 5 more times anyway hoho! And it started raining very heavily just when the fireworks started! I missed the fireworks, so I didn't get wet. I think all of my group members didn't get wet, cos all of us had to report for duty, which was all shelted wakakaka.
It was ultra chaotic at the carpark. Almost everyone was there! Performers, p5, ushers... And the P5s were ultra noisy! But they were quite cute too haha. Helped around with ushering duty and stuff, before going back home. Anyway, I had fun during NDP. Although it's tiring, I'm still looking foward for next week's NDP!
