Wednesady is promotion ceremony. I am SO nervous. I really want to get promoted to SWO but I know full well that it will not be so. I passed my ULP but I didn't manage to get any silver badge. I have about 3 or 4 bronze badges but not a single silver badge. I missed a chance to go to Israel with my family just to be able to sit for my RCK silver and i failed it. I have not received the result yet but I know that I have failed. I will be contented no matter what rank I receive. If I got a double, i would be sergeant. At least its better than lance. I will continue to hope until I see my rank. who ever is reading my blog now please don't tell any of my YOs what I said. I need an outlet for me to express myself and not be restricted.
I'm ready to scold a few cadets on wednesday. It is always the same few who are incompetent. Someone (she's from EDC, guess who) told me not to buy her another Red Cross name tag cos she is changing her name. (O.o)!!! She happily told me that last wednesady. So what name tag is she going to wear on the uniform? Definately NOT her school nametag. I can't stand her. We all can't... I have to put her down for one for flag raising in school assembly cos she is an upper sec cadets but we all fear that she will make the same mistakes again. To make sure she listens, I put her with Ginni. I know Ginni is not happy about it but ginni is the only one who can control her and have the energy to scold her. If she dares kick the flag or let it touch the floor again, not only will ginni and i kill her but so will the principal, dm and our YOs. I hope the cadets will not make things difficult this wednesday. I am so nervous and scared, but yet hopeful.

In Feburary, my english class had to do an English essay on the most tense situation we ever experienced in our life. We had to write everything in no more than 170 words. Here it is...

It was supposed to be a game but it felt so real, too real. We had to help the people who came with the intention to destroy us. As the Red Cross Ambulance Service, we had to unbiasedly go out to rescue the injured no matter which side they come from. While we set up the stretchers in preparation for casualties, our other teammates were outside hiring mercenaries to protect us. I was about to call them in when they started running away. The terrorist had started shooting us without any warning. The mercenaries had no ammunition to fight back and I saw my friends fall before my eyes. The rest were in the safety of our base but I had to do something. To go out meant risking getting shot at but there were casualties outside; they were injured, not dead. No one wanted to go out but we had to take the risk. With the stretcher in hand I walked straight into the war zone.

For those who are wondering. This is a scene from OPS 123, EDC 2004. My team is Delta (dynamite) and we were the RCAS. (Ps: If you are not from EDC don't bother trying to understand what I'm talking about, I don't think you'll get it)
