Okay, but on the brighter side only one sec school got gold with honours -- Dunman High, as the judges were like looking out for tenderness... (lalang!) But our pieces are so man you know... they are those pro and bombustic pieces... I ask you, how do you expect us to play with tender...??? CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls School, Gold. I cried, the moment I heard gold, the whole orchestra cried... We stood up and cheer, appearing happy but inside the feeling of sadness and misery. Everyone was just so devastatedly disappointed in ourself... The teachers were satisfied though... they said they were proud of us... but is that an encouragement? so thanks anyway... :) On the bus, I thought about the embarrasement about entering the school telling everyone we got gold when everyone highly expected us to get gold with honours, made me cry again... When we got off the bus at the school gate, all of us saw the hockey girls at the hokey pitch. The moment the saw us, they ran up to us and asked us what we got... it was embarrassing somehow... The more they ask, the more tears I shed... Isobel and I ran very quickly to the MEP room... The feeling was terrible... Mrs Tham saw us, she was in the MEP room all along... She told us and comforted all of us that we did well... and not to worry... In the end... I dunno how she ended up crying too... :x
Okay, something funnier and lighter now, Jasmine and I went to buy drinks from the canteen. On the way, I was just saying and complaining (kind of) how much pressure we had... and I was like Mrs Soh kept telling us, Gold with honours arh!!! Which made me really, really stressed up. It was as if we did not get gold with honours... she will kill us :x Yea, and suddenly, Jasmine said, " Wait, I sense Mrs Soh." I was like, " Nonsense larh... how can so zhun... where? I dont see anyone leh..." And just right after I said that sentence, Mrs Soh walked right in front of my face! I was like so shocked that I practically ran away... She saw me and was like... eh! Come back here! I thought she was going to kind of scold me... I think she saw my red puffy eyes from crying and she said to me, "hey! Congrats! Not bad huh! Gold leh!" I showed her the face that eh... that is not very good... and she was nice and said, " Aiya, dont worry larh... Gold is good already..." But the later thing is she said to me, " I want my Math hw..." :x And when I told her I already handed in, she claimed for Weng Chens and WeiTians Math hw... hahax... she even instructed me to whistle them to come out of the MEP room... hahax... she mad already! I was like NO WAY! hahax... :x opps! :x
Okay, all in all, the results for this years SYF for string orchestra was not very good.... only one JC and one sec school got Gold with Honours... And very few had gold... Jc only one have gold award... :( Oh yes, and to Cassandra, Wen Man and Natalie (who are from NJC), my dear seniors... do not be too overly discouraged okay? You can always do better! LOVE YOU ALL! :)
When I reached home, I immediately went for tuition in my cousins house as I was quite late already... I had totally NO MOOD for tuition... Tomorrow (FRI) there is a Math test... And guess what too? I had no mood to study for it too... I was so tired... extremely worned-out. DRAINED! yep, from all the sorrows and tears... until I got a terrible headache... I had to jian chi and study till 12.15am when I could not take it any longer, I went to bed...
The next day in school, which is actually today, I went to school with my eyes quite puffy from crying yesterday. :( I saw may, weitian and ruei ern talking... I was trying to do my last minute revision for the math test when I heard them talking about SYF yesterday... my spirits sank even lower and when I saw them crying and laughing at the same time, I could not take it either! YES, I cried... Jolene was like NO!!!! hahax. sry mann... Yes, it is very depressing when we put in like so much, TONS of effort and we didnt score what we wanted and desired what to achieve... :(
But, anyway, as Mr Wong, Ms Foo, Mrs Tham said, WE DID OUR BEST AND WE DID WELL! LETS PROVE EVERYONE WRONG THAT WE CAN DO IT AND WE ARE AND ALWAYS REMAIN AS THE BEST EVER!!! :) JIAYOU STRINGERS! I LOVE YOU ALL!!! :) WE CAN STILL GO TO VENNIA! :)
