Netball vs Other CCAs

lets see! this was what i discovered on tuesday morning when man announced to the entire school that the band got a gold for SYF.

well you see, when man announced to the entire school during morning assembly, well yes there was screaming, clapping and cheering, and the usuals. but then! when that all stopped, bobo stepped up and told the whole school : "girls let us not only celebrate what our girls have achieved but also put our hands together and clap and cheer for those who had been putting in a lot of effort but have not achieved anything.." (roughly like that) you see my point here! anybody stupid would be able to tell the biasedness!

sheesh! yeah yeah. right after the announcement about the netball has won against so and so school which i dont even care. i think it was sports school. oh whatever! and when man announced the gold thing, bobo went straight to the microphone and said the 'let us not only.. blabla.. ' ! then she brought in an example i think if i didnt remember wrongly, it was about the netball B or whatever division. thats so obvious!! and she even said even though the netball dont know what division had won against sports school, she was disappointed because there wasnt a lot of people going down to support them. oh excuse me~ back to reality! the ENTIRE school was asked to go down to support the netballers once! no i went twice! was the entire school asked to go down to support any other CCAs?

well not only my cca is treated this way. some other ccas are also teated this way! its so obviously biased here! lets take odac for example. they dont even really get announced to the school about their victory for dragon boating competitions and etc. so i have come to my realization that the school is biased! well maybe not the school. but various teachers in the school! sheesh! i dont get whats wrong with the teachers! i mean this is so obvious!

i dont see why should we be so overly concerned about the progress of the netballers? i mean yes it is good news that they managed to achieve some sort of champion of dont know what zone. but cant you see! this is too exaggerated!! did the band get this sort of "let us not only .. blabla.. " speech when we got a silver 2 years ago for SYF? noo.. sheesh! total biasedness!

ps. drew my 4th horoscope thing this afternoon - leo :D

Our hard work has finally paid off! (warning: almost detailed account on what happened on 9th apirl 07)

ALL RIGHT! i feel so HAPPY. yes i know its a little too late to post about it only now. but you see it was a long day yesterday. it was SYF yesterday morning! yes we started practising at 7am til 7.50am then we boarded the bus. i was feeling quite fine.

you know we reached there so early! like 8am++ then we waited for awhile. well like almost 15minutes? then we went into the tuning room and did our warm-ups. then we came out and we waited awhile again. After the wait, we went up the steps and found ourselves standing by the wall waiting again. haha. yes! then we went up another flight of steps and waited again. THEN it was finally our turn to go on stage! my heart raced and my palms started to perspire. i was EXTREMELY nervous out of a sudden. to think i even felt nothing this morning. haha

we walked up the stage. and as i was walking i realised the number of people who were going to watch us was SO huge!! well i thought it was huge. and that me even more nervous!

so we started playing both our pieces. well i guess we started off quite fine? until we were starting our second piece which was our choice piece. There was this silence and the atmosphere was so intense! and then we started playing. lalala~ some people said clarinets dragged at the opening. and i know we squeaked a LOT of times! well maybe not a lot maybe 10+?? or less. i felt so hopeless for a second! i SQUEAKED!! but sir tells us to stay composed and i did.

yes we moved to the music~ im not sure about what sir was hearing from infront but i thought we played kind of monotonously. well i didnt really hear much of the dynamics when it came to the climatic parts of the piece. haha oh well so i played louder.

well i thought we played quite badly!! but roxanne told me that her friend said we were the first band that got cheered. and christine said that mr.sim said that we have a chance of obtained gold.

----------

after watching a few bands we headed back for school. it was about 12.30pm. hence we didnt attend any classes at all. except for english for me xD

yes it just so happened that my chinese orals were on this day as well. i suppose i was too traumatised due to the numerous squeakings in the morning. haha. so i wasnt really caring about orals anymore. so i just went for it! fighting spirit! whoo! haha.

i dont think i did well and i dont think i did THAT badly for orals. but i suppose i was quite fine for it. i only know my language was quite fine but my contents were so little! haha.

right met up with some band mates to go to singapore conference hall together.

it was finally time for the release of results!! we were all so terrified. i wanted so badly to be the first batch of band girls to obtain a gold for the school!!

when the man was reading out our results. he actually made some sort of pronounciation mistakes?? i dont know he stumbled at our school name and went 'blabla *stumbles*... pardon me.. CHIJ... *continues*' and then he went 'gold' then i stone for a second and i started screaming and subconsciously tearing! i couldnt control the tears that were flowing out of my eye. i had NEVER in my entire life teared for being happy about something!! (i teared not cried. haha)

by the way xinhui aka crayon had extremely dry eyes. haha xD. everybody had tears in their eyes and their faces were all red. so i calmed myself down and realised that the other bands had gotten silver and bronze and such. they were all so down. we couldnt cheer for them or praised them for their hard work incase they thought we were proud. hence we left.

then we met up with the rest of our band memebers and they were all SO happy that they were screaming so extremely loud and some were tearing! as my friends and i walked down the steps, we noticed a lot of people crying in silence. i felt so awkward. there we have our band people screaming with joy while the others were crying. maybe we should spare a thought for them and scream less?

----------

i thought we didnt play our best during syf. after awhile the happiness just died down. right the books in my arms brought me back to reality. sheesh homework and mid-years!

right shall end here now. first batch of band girls to obtain a GOLD for our school! im so proud of ourselves. we made history yeah. haha. now maintained this gold is another milestone we have to cross :) but for now,

WELL DONE BANDERS!

ps. i havent really finished what i wanted to say.. and since the post is already so long... therefore this is to be continued xD

yes i know i havent been updating. ive gotten pretty lazy over these few days. SYF is in FOUR days time!! ahhh! i really hope we can be the first batch to get a GOLD for our school! as i have heard, people complain about us. that we are always the only performance group that has not been able to achieve a gold. oh come on! band gold isnt as easy as the other ccas!! sheesh. please be more considerate when you people say something!

all right. other than SYF. mid years are coming! oh man i feel so stressed. had my chemistry test today. i hope i pass.

i feel like everybody's hating me. but why? what have i done wrong? what did i ever do to make them dislike me so? sighh.

had band this afternoon. mr chan originally said we were going to play outside but we ended up playing back in our band room. haha. bad luck befalls on our section. warning all section members: be mentally prepared for the worst!

i feel like playing sims tonight. lets see. theyre having an outing tmr. i want to go too! but oh i got to go to my grandparents' house. i want to go! okay i got nothing much left to say now. i dont understand how dora manages to write such long 'essay-like' posts haha. oh yes i read her descriptive essay this afternoon. she claimed that it was disgusting! but when i read into it. i went 'what disgusting! look at the words used! theyre soo deep in meaning. haha' okay i didnt say that xD im just saying it now. haha

okay. shall end off here now.

hmmms. i know i havent been posting for quite awhile. ive got pretty lazy these days. dang syf is in a few days time. i feel so stressed. cause after syf will be the mid years. sighh! i hate all these examinations and things. sheesh. why wasnt i born an animal or something. at least i live short. sheesh! and at least i dont have to study and stress myself so much until white hair is sprouting out from my head.

its so hard to live as a human.

had pft the other day. i think im going to get an extremely terrible timing for 2.4km run. i hate long distance runs. so crappy. who came out with the idea of pft anyway. sheesh! so annoying.

ohs? hold on isnt this apirl fool's day? i just realised. oh well i got no mood for any jokes and crap. because of all these things i got to constantly worry about. sheesh! so annoying.

had an exchange at xinmin secondary school yesterday morning. well i thought i played worse than i usually do. sigh! its so stressful. everything's so stessful! i hate school.

went for the cjc con fuoco V last night. that is what its called right? i cant really remember. i just realised how vulgar people were. haha! well the band was really good. i mean look at them. they seem to be so much more in tune than us. haha. well no offense.

all right then i think i shall end here now.
