Yellow Marches On

Eek..I know this post is a day late(and its about to be two days too =/)

Sports Day was held yesterday.

Eh Hehe...Le Yi and Lyn were supposedly conned by me to come stay overnight in school. We though that we could sleep in the lodge. But.... in the end, they slept outside the BSMM room and me in the prefect room. Both places were invaded by mosquitoes anyway =.=. Before that, they kept complaining to me " If I were at home now, I would have slept already!><" " You wasted 2 hours of my sleeping time!" Geez...It's not like I wasn't staying awake with you all. And, it's not like we aren't used to staying up late~ We were all still pretty energetice the next day, no? ^^ Cheering our runners on~ So woke up at about 3 and changed into black shirt~ Went to our gathering place-the road besides prefect room. Soon, more and more marchers arrived and we got dressed. Put on our fire "armguards"and "shinguards". Then, we got our hair done. Guys spiked their with fire highlights. Girls too, minus the spiking la. Add some glitter and we're done. Next on, we got our fire"tube", skirt and a big cardboard flame attached to our backs. Our hair highlihghts were actually buncho paint== mine has a streak in it =D And our nails were painted black o.0.

We are fire dancers~ =D No, human torches.

We had to take off our glasses! I feel so blind without them =/.

Then gathered at our spot before we start the march pass. We wanted to revise formation but no time ( and place). So we just marched with slight revision and discussion and recalling. Everything went quite smoothly till the salute. !!! Those in front couldn't hear the command to stop the salute...So one half went back to normal march, the rest continued the salute. And then our formation. I was a drummer so I didn't really know it went wrong till later when we dismissed. Cuz from what I could see it was ok. Only later did I know the whole thing got screwed up=(. What to do? What's done is done. Removed our gear,except my mask=D and headed back down to the padang. We still gotta cheer for our runners. They're seriously our only hope. Cheered, screamed and sang our hearts out!

Therewas the incident with Le Yi's phone~ All of us got our stuff back at the Kuning place when we took off our gear. My phone strangely, was found on the FLOOR. And LY's one still missing. == So we tried looking for it, Le Yi got emo, Le Yi went "missing", we looked for her. Fast forward to the kuning deco spot again. We had to put our armguard back on. And Le Yi appeared there. And turns out, Rou Ann had it==. What a load of @.@.

Ending ceremony! Marchers all gathered at the front. The thing about Sports Events, everyone was so semangat-ed, all houses cheered the other houses on. Perkhemahan~we got 2nd. o.0 Ungu got first and Hijau 3rd. Merah and Biru got disqualified. An absoulute pity. The merah tent was so COOL. REALLY NICE LA. They even had a real puppet inside! All because the top exceeded the sports center roof by like 4 cm? And biru had the same fate...that wolf is so yeng and very life-like =D. Merah was so down when they found out, they even cried =(. But like what other bloggers might have mentioned, we all know they are the true winners=).And that's what matters. Perbarisan..oh god, I can't believe we still got 4th , since the formation was screwed and we even got marks minus-ed cuz our formation was too long o.0. So, alright la.

After the ceremony, we performed the formation to Kimberly and the Form 5 seniors. Kim actually ran away before we finished. But we all know why la =S. But like Ling Ming said, why didn't we do this well earlier?==

Overall, Kuning got 2nd!! Never mind, next year will be our year!!Quite literally too. We'll get the crown back!

Even though we lost the gold, we gained a lot more. Us Form 4 marchers found our kuning semangat =D, swearing to come back next year to make up. We found our bond with kuning, and each other =D. We learned to go all out for our rumah, and LIKE it!! =D we formed comradeship. We learnt from our mistakes. We will aim higher. We will not be complacent anymore. We will not be sore losers ;). We all know in a competition there will always be losers. But like a quote I read from a blog, where would the winner be if there weren't losers? So, Kuning people, look ahead now and don't dwell on the by-gones! We will sore higher next year!

<3 style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">KUNING!!!FIRE!!!!
KUNING!!!FIRE!!!!
KUNING!!!AAAAH!!! FIRE!!!

Thank you all marchers, deco people, Form 5 seniors and teachers. We all rule!

I wish I could go through Sports Day again. Just the whole process was so...enlightening~ I can't wait for next year ^^
