CR3
Last saturday was just like any other normal saturday... ok... have to clarify somethings first,

normal saturday = morning book in to camp to change, grab the flags, take the chartered bus down to marina floating platform/nee soon camp for NDP rehearsals.

Yea, so it was another rehearsal at the platform. Then during the warm up in the morning, a fellow ensign said to me "hey, today my reserve is doing the final run because his girlfriend will be watching the parade" 

"oh ok..."

"wait...today got audience?!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------

So we did wad we usually do and formed up at the entrance. Looking at the big eye-shaped screen, we saw the audience seats and most of us instantly went "OMG". There was stage fright no doubt, doubled by the screw up run we had earlier that afternoon.

Let's just say its a surreal experience, we went in, we knew that all the eyes were on us (even the camera, as we can still see the screen while we marched). No doubt it was really exciting. Behind the neat, tidy rows of men in white marching are conversations coming from every direction. Some were directions. others were just plain jokes and oh-my-god-this-is-so-cool remarks.

We did our usual stuff (which has been so thoroughly drilled into us) and i soon reached my position: Middle of the first row on the elevated platform.

'what a view...'

(too bad i cant bring a camera with me to capture it) 

--------------------------------------------------------------

(edit) Sunday night, i've finally decided to sign in to the messenger for a while. Had a chat with Dorea and realised that she watched CR3! hahaha. It feels really good to find out that a good fren had watched something that you're a part of. Well, to anyone and everyone reading this entry, if you're going to watch any of the previews (or the actual thing), please leave a comment =)

I will try and go look for you at F1 pit! The Marching is super impressive! One of my favourite moments in the Parade! When the Flag Party slips and rejoins, like OMG, precision!
