still had loads of things to say abt syf.. shall tok abt what happened yesterday first..
so yesterday... alot of ppl ponned school larh.. tsk tsk.. stephanie.. set bad example for your guai1 juniors.. pon school still nvr giv letter of excuse... lucky ppl who ponned.. they missed out some more pain..
went to school.. first thing everyone ask.."how was ur syf".. was quite calm.. so didnt cry or teared.. just say we got gold.. and i forced a smile on my face.. den started toking more abt it with the closer ppl.. talked quite loudly.. but still considered v calm le.. den went to 205.. toked to sabrina and germaine.. started tearing abit.. den sabrina say she going to cry again.. so i quickly gun kai.. also dont want myself to cry... so morning assembly...
on the way to quadrangle.. saw quite a no. of bandees still crying.. arghh... first one i saw was marilyn.. and quite a no of her classmates surrounded her and said its ok larh... cheer up.. tried to walk as fast as i could to another place.. so i wont cry.. so flagraising.. announcements.. monica was reading the announcements marh.. and i can tell tt she wanted to cry.. actually her face already all red.. and her voice.. guessed she cried before tt.. so went on with the announcements.. i looked on the floor larh.. dont want to see ppl crying le.. cos i was expecting the results to b announced to the school.. and wanted to act happy.. but aiyah.. halfway through the announcements.. i think she couldnt take it... and she paused for a while.. before continueing.. note: band results not even announced yet.. yarh.. sec 2 bandees and sec 4s were standing behind the sec 4s.. saw the sec 4s crying.. just nice when i reached there.. mr lim just nice went on stage to announce.." im v proud to announce that.. dot dot dot.." .. sheeeeet larh.. i couldnt control myself again... lucky we didnt go on stage.. and rachel said that monica cried.. on stage.. =(.. whole school was looking at us.. alot of teachers started consolling us.. yarh.. everyone cried.. again.. after the results finish announcing le..the school started cheering.. prepare for sports meet.. but mdm chew wanted to tok to us.. went on saying everything.. like.. though they couldnt go into the hall.. cos we already started playing.. they watched from the tv.. and they could already tell that we had loads of emotions and she could feel it.. she knew we had done our best.. and finally they managed to go in after they begged the official.. and she said it was even better live.. cried even more... after long long talks from quite a no of teachers.. they forced us to go out.. cheer.. did reluctantly.. but no sound come out of our mouths also.. still continued crying.. finally mrs teo toked to us again.. forced us to stop crying... we dont hav to prove to the judges that we are gold with honours.. we already proved it to ourselves.. what we think about ourselves is the most important.. she used quite a harsh tone.. think she wasnt so patient.. you know her.. haha.. so they forced us to go back to our various classes and dont stay as a group le.. calm down le den gather again..
so went to get my stuff.. den went for dance.. was super late.. chen lao shi was toking to the class abt syf.. chinese dance most of the time.. i listened to some parts of it.. in the end she said abt nycb.. didnt listen carefully though.. my eyes were still blur from crying.. say we cry until so ke lian.. cos she was there to consol us too.. and said that when nycb members go for dance later.. dont tok to them abt anithing.. den the whole class went.."she's already here".. arghh.. broke down.. somemore alot of ppl tried to encourage me.. tts the first time i cried in front of the class... ever since i went to ny.. haix.. during dance wanted to cry a no of times.. but after tt its ok le.. calm down..
but some ppl said that a few bandees were still crying.. =(.. yasi.. yumin.. they said yumin cried while she was eating her noodles.. =\... but after a day's of serious thinking.. gold isnt tt bad.. =).. at least we didnt get a silver or even a bronze.. we could hav gotten tt if we played out of tune.. so we are quite lucky le..
nothing much le..
oh yarh.. me jiaying and sabrina went to j8 yesterday to buy present for germaine.. but somehow.. jiaying and sabrina get so carried away looking at the toys.. haha.. young children play the toys de.. wrote "nycb rawkz!" on the white board thing... but a small boy erased it off =(.. in the end we saw this teeth cooler thing for the babies.. ahhaha.. snail!.. horns!.. hahaha.. jiaying wnated to buy it for zuo jing and eleen.. den saw the wrist rattler thing.. haha.. at first we thought that it was for finger de.. like finger band or sumthing.. hahaha.. den we remembered that we are at the children's section.. ahhahaha.. paid for the wallet for germaine.. and in the end decided to buy the wrist thing for the seniors... ahha.. the cashier must hav thought that we are crazi.. buy so much sommore.. as long as it makes the seniors happy =).. and continued buying some other things for seniors.. guessed what we bought for yan zhen=).. wanted to buy a baboon stuff.. cannot find.. in the end is monkey... two monkeys.. stuck to one de.. the guy one holding to guitar.. hahaha..
today..
we wrote the letters.. quite sad.. only 3/4 ppl write per letter.. nvm larh.. at least we tried.. yarh.. during recess.. met at the canteen.. wanted to cheer.. but in the end something happened.. didnt cheer.. but gav the things to them aniwae =).. hahah.. i think our band the people all same sort de.. they get attracted to cute stuff and when its so lame until its cute... haha.. they will cheer up =).. hope it helped..
nothing much le.. i just missed band so much today.. yay.. and after school it was open... thankew jiaying for being somewhere in the school but we dunno where.. so we went everywhere looking for you.. in the end.. band room =).. yay.. finally my saxophone!.. played for quite long.. sounded terrible.. cos we anihow played haha... and we played stuff for the istana de.. two weeks to get tt many songs right... and all the songs v tiring de... bleah.. hope we will impress whoever will b at the istana.. president.. hahaha..
gold is quite lucky for us le.. unlike tkgs choir.. they overshot by ONE person.. and they got gold instead of honours.. ONE.. and they thought they only hav 79 ppl de.. in the end hav 81.. so sad larh.. but they v good actually.. cos minus 10% still get gold.. and their band.. haix.. why didnt they get gold with honours???... theirs is only sec 3 and 4 play.. and is the best players sommore.. why why why.. so rgs band got gold with honours.. congrats =).. only girls band with gold with honours.. crescent didnt get it =(.... what is going on.. aniwae we heard the rv high play via margaret's phone just now.. call.. while they were playing.. ahaha.. the dynamics was wOw.. though the phone was blur blur de.. means if we go there.. it will b.. heaven.. haha.. but they didnt get selected to b one of the three top bands =(..
some people said that ms cheong cried yesterday =(.. said that if we had played yesterday.. we would hav gotten honours.. cos yesterday no pro bands de.. in the end cat high got honours.. though they are not v famous.. she luved the band so much!.. i thought she would have full support for dunman yesterday.. concentrating on them.. but deep down she was still with nycb...thinking about us.. haix.. nvm larh.. by listening to rv high just now.. think we really quite lucky le..
quite a no. of ppl quite angry tt tch got gold.. erm.. yarh.. i was quite also larh.. but i dont think they are tt bad either.. by the way yh described.. cos she went there yesterday marh.. heard them play.. we played much nicer than them.. all the seniors who went said so.. no offence yarh.. and they were angry at kai boon.. tch's DM.. cos he took our dear BM yan zhen away.. haha.. i hear le keep on laughing.. nothin le.. just continue to jiayou nycb =).. the passion will live on forever =)..
nymd.. haix.. im sad for them.. bronze.. i keep on feeling that nycb made them feel worse.. cos we got gold already so disappointed.. and they got bronze =(.. not trying to disappoint anione.. just continue to jiayou.. and we will get better results next time =)..
.Wednesday, April 13, 2005 ' 11:05 PM Y
so its over.. =(.. no more stress .. but.. we didnt get the results we wanted larh.. at least we are a GOLD band.. without honours.. =(.. but nvm.. jiayou sec 2s.. we shall da bai st patricks in year 2007!... we will get gold with honours then!.. lets start training now =).. but it wont be the same le =(.. sec 3s and 4s would b gone by then =(.. just hope the sec 1s will be inspired by our crying today =X.. and they also hav the same dream as us..
shall crap abt it larh.. i was so confused just now =X.. donno what i should be feeling..
so.. early in the morning.. audi prac.. den lesson.. keep on looking at the clock.. haha.. nvr pay attention.. and thankew for all the wishes =).. so nice.. but wo men rang ni men shi wang le =(.. after tt prepare larh.. tune for quite long.. den zou le.. i was so excited the whole morning =).. jumping up and down.. feeling super hyper =).. i woke up at around 5+ today lorh.. on my own.. den couldnt sleep =X.. nor could i stay still for more than 30 sec..=\.. so excited..
so we reached there.. early =).. den waited.. while some ppl ate pandan bread and drank water.. poor sec 1s.. hav to carry everything for us.. haha.. and we listened to mr singer's voice for a while.. although i couldnt hear most of it.. den waited and waited.. and guess what.. i saw ming liang.. =\.. den i immediately know the band is nan hua.. he's as white as ever.. haha.. but grew taller le.. haha.. now about average height i think.. quite scary =X.. quite shocked also.. haha.. so we went up..
waited and waited again.. den go inside tuning room.. played.. my tuning was alright in there... den waited outside the hall le.. watched from the tv.. the band before us.. isit guo chuan? dunno how to spell larh.. den was thinking that they so pro.. although before tt we heard that they are actually a lan band.. the tv got problem larh.. make everyone sounds so nice.. den a few people started crying le.. =(.. jiayoued one another.. den its show time...
went in.. on stage.. didnt hav much audience larh.. the middle was all empty.. except the four? judges.. den the sides and front then hav ppl.. yay.. thankew sec 1s for cheering us on =).. den hand was shaking.. cannot really think straight.. but at least it sounded quite nice.. den play play play v shuang =).. think we did quite well.. den go on to seventh night of july.. i was playing as usual.. surprisingly.. didnt really panic.. but i went out of tune!.. clara loh also!.. den both of us like.. out of the band.. wanted to play soft soft but i heard clara also play loud.. den heck.. play loud.. was hoping that nobody will find out its out of tune.. cos both of us the same.. hahah.. bar 205.. i luv the trumpets =).. make me hav goosebumps.. yay..you all were great =).. it sounded grand.. and i agree with those who listened to us play.. its one of our best performances =).. at least it didnt sound distant.. cos i was expecting really dispersed sound due to the hall itself.. like audi like tt =X.. but lucky didnt.. and we had loads of emotions.. i can feel it larh.. mayb i wanted to cry.. but was concentrating on the song.. den go off le.. *snap* its over just like tt.. den go out..
people started crying ='(.. i almost cried also larh.. i see people cry i will cry de!.. so was tearing.. den i looked away.. saw the tv.. ahmad ibrahim sounded great too!.. was super scared.. every band sounded perfect.. the tv got problem larh!.. send for repair!...
after ahmad ibrahim finished le.. we finally get to go in.. st pats played.. their playing was.. almost perfect i think.. perfect i should say.. but no emotions de.. and they work as though they are machines.. breath so drama one.. haha.. and i saw some clarinets.. they breath with the band just to get the sound.. but after tt they didnt play.. =\.. quite lame.. sounded like the wind.. and they were super stiff.. whole time they were sitting up so straight.. nvr move.. but tt band was the best band out of all the bands we heard larh.. other bands.. most of them they screwed their singapore rhapsody.. go out of tune.. out of beat.. etc etc.. but their choice piece was fantastic.. so the singapore rhapsody v ke xi.. =(.. also cannot blame them.. i think is cos of nervousness.. and it went like forever.. we finally realised how the judges feel.. was so xian diao.. finally is the results time..
wanted to scream larh!!!!.. so everyone held each other's hands real tight.. sunk into our seats.. alot prepared their hp le.. and we were really hoping that we get gold with honours.. although i was thinking of silver.. was telling judy tt if we get silver.. i will cry my hearts out.. she keep on toking abt gold larh.. den i donno how to react.. at first i was thinking that i will cry.. cos we didnt get gold with honours.. but think abt it.. like what judy said.. even tkgs is only a gold band.. the best girls school in singapore.. so if we get gold is the same standard as them also.. yuhua didnt get too.. haix.. so yarh.. mayb i will be happy.. or mayb not happy nor sad.. i was actually expecting the worst but hope for the best.. so we continued to sink into our seats.. and paniced.. ahmad ibrahim ppl v nice.. they saw us so worried.. they told us to fang xin.. say we will get gold with honours de.. and they v friendly =).. reassured us..
results.. waited so super long... shuqun only got silver =(.. couldnt believe it.. nanhua got silver also.. alot of bands hav silver.. finally.. guo chuan.. bronze.. band no. 84.. nanyang girls high.. gold.. everyone was waiting for the last two words larh!... but it nvr came.. and they went on to the nxt school... sheeet.. i started tearing larh.. cried.. actually not so bad.. but still cried quite alot.. really wanted tt gold with honours.. went on to ahmad ibrahim.. silver.. den st pats.. gold with honours.. after i heard tt i cried like siao.... couldnt control... tears just flowed like hell.. actually i was expecting them to get gold with honours since we didnt get.. after tt i didnt hear other results le.. was so disappointed.. i also dunno why i cried until like tt.. and soree larh judy.. made you cry also.. i thought i was the only one who is crying like hell.. but i looked around.. almost all nycb members' faces were red.. full of tears.. all hugging each other.. sat quite long in the hall while waiting for our bus to come.. continued crying.. st pat started cheering.. actually our band v guai4.. we get gold still v upset.. other bands they get bronze they cheer like mad le.. when they announced our results there was only a dead applause.. not really dead.. well.. applause from other bands i think.. but nobody in our band clapped i guess.. so after a no of bands cheered.. nycb tried cheering also larh.. our ex seniors all lead.. but only afew ppl were cheering.. those com members i think.. although they v upset also.. but they tried to make us cheer up.. but they cheered v loudly.. i wanted to cheer larh.. aiyah.. but i cry until i cant even tok.......... so our ex seniors continued to try to cheer us up.. say at least we maintained our standard.. we proved to others tt we are solid gold band.. cos two years ago tt was the first time in so many years they got gold.. and ppl think tt its by luck de.. at least now we showed tt we are a real gold band.. and mrs wong informed mdm mak i think.. and the reply was.. well done.. you all hav done the school proud.. den i started crying even more......... bleah.. other performing arts.. choir and chinese dance.. get gold with honours .. and nycb.. gold.. so we went out... quite alot of ppl tried cheering us up.. say we got gold.. smile.. but nobody could smile.. except yanzhen and yumin.. they so jian qiang.. i know they are actually v v upset de.. but they dont want us to get overly disappointed.. they put up a false front..
went all the way down... mrs teo was trying to make everyone proud of ourselves again lahr.. say we are not a COP band.. so why should we cry out of sadness?.. saying we are a gold band.. but we look like a COP band.. but we still continued crying.. our band is the only one whose members.. erm.. most of the members cry de.. almost the whole band.. other bands only hav a few ppl cried?.. some none at all.. so mrs teo told us to stop crying.. and smile.. she failed again.. all the way out.. we continued waiting for the bus.. was actually quite hungry de.. no appetite.. mrs wong was trying to force us to eat the bread.. and ms chong was still trying to cheer us up.. keep on saying solid gold band solid gold band.. she looked quite happy.. but she in the end she cried.. cos she saw us keep on crying.. but she also say tt we deserve the gold with honours more than st pats.. but no matter what the results is.. we are still gold with honours in our eyes.. and said that cos the judges are guys.. dey don hav emotions de.. they only know how to judge according to technical de.. even tkgs cant even get gold with honours.. so we are up to their standard.. we should b happy about that.. after hearing that we cried even more larh.. den we hugged each other even tighter.. really tried to stop myself from crying.. but.. haix.. and thankew nut.. for trying to make me smile for that 1-2 sec twice.. so we went up the bus..
went on the bus.. i sort of stopped crying le.. by then 7.30 le.. i cried for how long le arh.. v long.. but they started toking abt syf again.. yumin and mr lim.. continued to encourage.. den started crying again.. all the way until dunno what time.. reached school still crying.. =X.. i stopped abit here and there larh.. but after a while still cried.. just nice boarding school had fire drill.. so alot of ppl there.. yingting yeexingyee and tianyu saw me and hugged me larh.. my eyes started pouring again.. cos of the way i said it i think.. " we only got gold".. and they say its alright larh.. haix.. i write this blog im also crying larh!.. when will i get over it.. so went up.. pack..
the two cockroaches made us smile since along time.. everyone was screaming and standing on the chairs.. hahaha.. was really forcing back my tears.. den the teachers tok to us again.. mr lim cracked lame jokes larh.. ahha.. he so funny.. laughed quite a while.. den i saw the "we got the GOLD" on the board.. and they started saying tt we did v well.. gold with honours to us.. basically saying the same thing over and over again.. den i couldnt control myself.. cried again.. when almost the whole band calm down le.. did cheering again.. and three cheers for teachers.. ms chong.. yan zhen and yu min.. and nycb.. and we started throwing our scarves up in the air.. took photos =).. was fun.. ok.. so i stopped crying.. and the whole band went to kap.. to celebrate.. sort of.. although everyone was disappointed.. den i stopped crying larh.. so we ate.. drank alot.. was super thirsty.. started tearing when i saw jocelyn's sms... its jocelyn's right?.. i think so.. she write essay.. after tt go home le..
yes.. i cried before i sleep.. couldnt sleep at first.. den started thinking that we are a gold band.. not silver nor bronze.. and think about other stuff.. happy stuff.. before i could sleep..
alot of ppl wanted to pon school lorh.. which is today.. cos today is the 14 april.. yarh.. i write halfway yesterday.. and true enough.. yan zhen ... joanna.. da sylvia.. stephanie.. clara lu.. and who else?.. i donno.. quite a no... they really ponned.. no face to face the school =(..
but actually seriously speaking.. i think we are quite lucky tt we get gold.. we could hav gotten silver or bronze if we played out of tune.. at least we are above average.. and we should be happy.. we are always a gold with honours band in our own eyes =).. and i know the journey is more important than the destination.. i also dunno why i take it so seriously.. think cos since the beginning of the year.. i really really want tt gold with honours.. tts why i stayed back almost everyday.. although we slacked.. at least we practiced quite abit.. the people who are most upset now are the sec 4s.. =(.. yasi.. chia meng.. yumin.. yan zhen.. and everyone is now relying on the sec 2s.. two years down the road.. we will get tt gold with honours!.. then we will show ourselves and others what we are really made up of =)..

really deep in thoughts now.. after reading quite a no of bandee's blogs.. just felt so.. touched.. and wanted to thank alot of ppl.. appreciate their kindness and concern.. im tearing now =X.. ok..
firstly.. i really think our band have gone through alot together.. ups and downs.. lameness.. joy... im gonna miss this year =(.. think im gonna cry on the passing down day.. gonna miss the sec 4s.. =(.. ok.. at first i thought our band is just like ordinary band.. go for cca.. play songs.. want to achieve gold with honours at SYF.. and just like ordinary friends.. or mayb good friends.. hang out together and all those.. but now i really think our band is really different.. and i luv the fact of tt =).. although people may not show it out.. but deep down they actually treat nycb like their life.. not only cca.. just to get cca points.. but really respect it and look forward to every single practice.. even those who usually lame and not really serious about things de.. they actually luv band to their core..
and since SYF is coming.. we take our playing really seriously.. although sometimes all of us played quite badly and some even wanted to give up.. there will always be other bandees who will b there for you =).. especially your section mates.. or ur batch de bandees..
just feel like band is the most important part of my life now.. really teach each an everyone of us about bonding.. really.. in class you may get to show it.. yes.. our class is very united.. but band is more than being united.. the whole band is.. so supportive of one another.. encouraging us to the end.. tries to solve problems for one another.. v understanding..
yanzhen and yumin.. really appreciate them for their support.. =).. not easy being BM and DM.. all the tears they shed for the band.. although they giv us quite a no of lectures.. longest so far is up to 1 hr.. but i know they meant well.. i dont think the band will come to this standard without their encouragements and understanding.. they also tries to resolve conflicts in the sections in every way.. dont think the band will b bonded without them..
there is like thousand and one things i want to say now.. just that its more than words.. oh man.. im really going to cry =X..
so after what we have gone through.. our main aim now is still SYF.. 3 more days... hope that we can make it.. gold with honours!.. cannot let the sec 4s down.. and the sec 3s.. their only SYF in their NYCB life..
ok.. dont think that this post will make an impact on anione reading this.. nobody will know how i really feel.. haha.. ok.. tts all i got to say.. byebye!
