would you move?

If you were standing out in the open, right at attention, in the middle of lustily singing 'Majulah Singapura', and it suddenly started to drizzle... those big, fat raindrops pelting down faster & faster... would you move?? would you run and seek for shelter?? or would you continue to stand at attention and complete the entire anthemn? afterall, respect, honour and patriotism are at stake... or are they not?

Earlier this morning, i nearly had to make such a hair-tearing decision. Luckily the pelting began just 3 seconds before the 'stand-at-attention' command was given. If it were to really happen, say during this year's National Day Celebration @ Padang (*touch big wood*), how many do you think will not move a milli-inch?

Hmm.. that's an interesting question! i somewhat recalled that it happened to me during assembly before leh.. and the result was.. everyone ran!!! Even though i think generally students will juz stand there until instructions are given.. hmm....
