i've decided .
i'm not gonna be put down by today's performance ,
not a single bit .
because i finally made clear what really matters.
the point was we really put in our best,
especially,today .
we made a commendable effort,
WITH the sec1s,
WITHOUT the sec4s.
it was OUR effort,
that sliver,
was their recognition of what we did .
and i'm glad to be part of it .(:
Gold was 80marks,
we got 79.17 ._.
ironic huh .
our second near-gold result .
oh well .
as i said,
we did try .
fyi,
ALL the other bands deployed their sec3&4 .
literally,
we were the youngest band in that division .(:
strive for excellence,
taking lead from the darn sliver,
we're gonna get a glittering gold next,
HAHA:D
whee .

woke up early in the morning,
decided that i wanted to go and polish my instrument .
but the comm was having a meeting,
and they locked the dang door._.
oh well .
ended up setting up everything for combined,
and spacing out .
because i was so sleepy .
Zz .
combined was so eeky .
everyone was feeling the kinkers,
hard .
MrTay came real late,
and left real early .
had 20minutes of sectionals with Lynny,
then head for lunch,
as a section .
erm,well,
part of a section huh .
i learnt from Henry how to ask for drinks in hokkien,
which was kinda ridiculous considering my heritage and his are miles apart .
headed back a bit late,
had sectionals .
Henry conducted(:
then chionged to get book a place in the toilet,
in case i was forced to do mass changing .XD
the nervous bug was everywhere;
i was shivering,
but kept my cool .(:
experience really helps,
i'm telling ya .
Phyllis came to visit us .(:
she was camping at Starbucks to watch the fireworks later in the night .
chitty-chat,
yak yak .
went through files for one last time,
then it was time for tuning .
we threw the tuners aside .
performance was above average .
there wasn't much of those stick-outs,
though togetherness was most probably the most obviously fault we had then.
but there wasnt much of any other issues,
not of major importance,
says MrWong .
went back into hall to hear results .
burst out in tears upon hearing it .
hell,
the pressure was immense .
but then again,
it was in the past .><
saw the fireworks in full display on the way back .
finally knew the meaning of beautiful ,
way beyond my ability of description .
i regret not taking any pictures,
cos i was too tired .
head back to bandroom,
changed .
i'm still hurting from the effects of not leaving any green cakes for me,
gah .
those meanies .
thankyou LeiAn,
for the much-needed bite .
MrWong came back for a prep talk,
which was obviously much needed too,
after seeing so many breakdowns .><
but it was a lesson well learnt alright .
