[ 1143. ORDinary People ]
finally, ninjarians. We are finally ordinary people. Civilians. ;)
This day brings back precious memories of our days back at coyline. It's been a good 2 years, 4 months.
"As we go on, we remember, all the times we spent together..."
May our paths meet again. ;)
===
Spent much of the morning in front of the computer, playing a lil maple story and then went on to blog-surf. Went to read my own blog archives as well, racing back to the days of syf 2003. It's bad memories, but in the midst of it, i realized there ARE good memories that came out of it as well....
7th May 2003.
As usual, i tried to blog last night, but blogger is FOREVER down during night-time.
I didn't go to school today... i'm too tired and upset...
For those who don't know, yesterday was the SYF Central Judging for JC Choirs. For the records:
Gold Finalists: ACJC, NJC, RJC, TPJC, VJC
Gold (others): AJC, HCJC, TJC
Silver: CJC, JJC, NYJC, SAJC
Bronze: PJC, SRJC, YJC
Well... when the results was announced, we were stunned. I guess many really felt disappointed, but the twins try to numb it up by cracking jokes. We really sat in the concert hall for a long time. When we decided to move, we got downstairs, and many of us just broke down and cried. Even mr azahar and mr lim were in a lost, dunno how to console us. I really broke down and cried. It's like... hard work down the drain. C'mon, you are telling us that we are as good as new competitors for the SYF?! Well... i think we deserve better. Goh Toh Chai told us that our basics were not there... haiz. Then what the heck we train so hard for? What went through my mind was that i really dunno know how to go back to college and face everyone. The teachers who had tolerated our drop in standard due to our streneous training, and now they will go tougher on us as "losers who work hard but no results". Other students from other CCAs who always take us as the underdogs, and most importantly, i really didn't know how to face my own choir members, and break the news to them. I knew they'd be heartbroken. I really was in a lost... then i broke down... not to mention everyone else... When we got back to college, as we walked in, peixuan's friend just asked her how was it, and she was so disturbed that she broke down again... chuhui and mabel had to fight back their tears and pull her into the toilet... lip hang and myself found the choir members all sitting by the concourse... you know, when we finally broke the news everyone eventually just sat down and cried... and the VP and P had to lecture us on 'life's big theory' instead of consoling. I mean, what the hell, when we are all so damn disappointed and you come and rub salt on our wound?! YOU ARE OUR PRINCIPAL AND VICE PRINCIPAL AFTER ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know, when things were getting better over the weekend after what happened on saturday, we thought we might had a fair chance... but SYF's not about quality... it's politics. Like what i told mr azahar... thisi s a harsh world. Just like our A level results... people are not going to give a damn about how much time you spent studying... but ultimately they always reflect based on your cert. You get good grades, you are worth something, if not, don't even think about it. It's like... much as they tell us that it's the process that matters... and product don't really count... but it's a fact that the Singaporean society looks at the result. And it's not gonna change... Ya know, it's like, i gotta numb my feelings and chase everyone home today... if not i'm really afraid that someone's gonna scream at the P and VP. Then i gotta continue numbing my feelings and go for my cheerleading practice... i really felt as if God has deliberately let me down time and time again.. it's really not the first time... i'm really discouraged. It's like, it's not only me in the choir, there are so many christians in the choir, but do you have to do this when you know it's a burden in many of our hearts? Haiz... i'm totally speechless. When i saw how badly huiyin was crying today, i really was totally at a loss... it's like, if she, such a strong, girl, can break down, i really fear for the choir... she cried non-stop for at least an hour... And even now when i'm at home typing all these... my mind's in a whirl...
When i saw that i blogged this in the morning, it dawned upon me that i actually skipped school. Without an mc or even a parent's letter. And i remember blatantly telling mom and my ct that i didn't feel like going to school. Can't remember their reaction though. Haha. Skipping lectures i've done many times, but I was never one to skip an entire day's of school la, and hence i think that was the first time i ever did so. Hmmm...
Just barely 3 days later, i had my interhouse cheerleading competition...
9th may 2003
yoz dude and gals!!!
hahah... i'm on cloud nine today... yeah...
"So let me hear you shout AH ah Ah aH aH!!"
hahah... today was our sports meet.
And as earlier mentioned, i'm involved in this year's cheerleading for my house.
We practised right up to the last minute at the dance studio...
And we only had one practice of the 4-man flip of charlyn high up into the air...
Lemme give you some more interesting observations also:
Pegasus was the smallest cheerleading team.
We are the only house with more guys than gals on the team.
We even incorperated break-dance into the routine.
And guess what... WE ARE THE CHEERLEADING CHAMPS!!!!!!!
yeah!!! haha... finally a boost to my morale!~
hehe... never in my life would i expect myself to be in a cheerleading team...
Let alone win, yeah... but what i treasure more is the times and the friendship made.
Haha... the people there are classic.
First let me honour all people by mentioning them on my blog...
They are... (drum roll please)...
Izati the house captain!
Shaikah, Neeta, Lisa the assistants!
Shahira, Candice, Charlyn the 'liftees'!
Andrew, Andy, Zhu En, Nigel, Suman the break dancers!
Justin,Jonathan (and myself) the lifters!
And the star of the entire show...
Alvin!!!! haha... our dear gymnast-material cheerleader who did 5 backflips in a row...
spectacular performance by him.
I bet all the gals would want his number by now.
Hahah.... hehe...
(PS: he's really small and cute though. =/ oh my god... why am i talking about him...)
Haha... but i really really am happy...
Finally a taste of victory!
And i really love all these cheerleaders... even tough we didn't had much practice,
everyone really enjoyed themselves, that's all it matters!
So just wanna let you guys know... i love you lots!~
15th may 2003
finally.... it's over!
WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha... today was really a long day for me.
For those still in the dark... (highly unlikely so),
srjc has this concert called vibrante II today at VCH...
It's a band concert... but yeah, choir's the guest performers. =)
Yeah... after that terrible failure last week,
we finally got back on our feet, with no drop in our numbers...
and we presented the ideal performance that we wanted to deliever!!!
HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!
This three weeks has really been very dramatic...
The frustrating times of teaching the j1s the pieces that j2s took three months to learn...
The crappy times of bus rides when we sang tian mi mi...
The warm times of dinners that we share almost every night at bk...
The angry times of misplaced stuff and miscommunications...
The sad times when we all sounded badly at our only rehearsal at VCH...
Not to mention our first failure at the syf... getting only a bronze.
It took us 4 days to get back on our feet...
It took people not form choir to write notices to encourage us...
It took someone to write in the whole story to a radio station as a dedication...
And it took many sectional leaders to write encouragement cards to their members.
Many times of ups and downs...
Many times of fun, laughter, fear and sorrows...
It's all over.... just like a dream.
We as a voce family has rubbed shoulders over these two weeks...
I just wanna take this time to really say a big sorry to the twins...
I know you meant well for my guys...
And perhaps i'm wrong to address the incident in that manner...
Forgive me ok...? =)
And to that person out there...
I know much has happened tonight...
You know how i feel... and i guess i know how you feel too....
Thanks for being who you are...
What a change huh. Well, i had to numb myself anyway. Haha. And as i read more down the days, i really realized that i treasured my choir days. And it's a pity that we don't meet up nowadays anymore. I think it's the same out there as well. Many people just don't take effort to meet up once they are out of regular contact. Hmm... people come, people go. You heard the story about how a person's life can be paralleled with that of a bus journey. You can't expect everyone to stay on the bus from the start till the end all the time...
