well, yarp.
congrats to mg for winning.
the trophy was humongous. about 1/2 my height or somethin'.
i just noticed how comlicated our class is. everybody knows something they weren't supposed to somehow. gosh, there reeeeally are eyes and furikin' ears on the wall.
not that its bad,but our class is so united, till the point that it becomes unstable.
heres my 2 cents. if one person snaps, which i think could reeeally be anybody, except paul ooi. we all know he just wants to "have fun" or learn fun. if anybody snaps, our class unity will be shattered, the very foundation decimated, words will come flying like bullets. it will hugely affect class morale.
why am i saying this? i have no idea. probably i'm just re-hinting to people to keep their discretion. coincidences, though not welcomed, are inevitable at times.
anyway..
yesterday was a mad rush for me.
chronologically..
woke up earlier, so i wouldn't be late for school..
was late for almost every lesson during school though..
at chinese, i had to maneouvre past the teacher waiting outside to find mr. ng. which me and gabriel did. had to reach a compromise with him so that he would bring us into the stadium.we did.
then,i had to run to the far entrance, and supposedly supposed to climb through a series of drains and holes in fences to get out of school.luckily for me, both gates were not lock.so i just ran out.
couldn't find a cab from the ITE bus-stop, so i took a bus down to queensway where i found one.
during the cab ride, i spoke in rather fake, articulated english, told the driver i only had 5.50. which was true. further on, he noted that i wasn't a pure singaporean. i said i lived in canada for 2 years and returned last year.i also said i was going to be late for piano leson, thus having to take an expensive taxi.
the driver called alot of people jay-walking "idiots" and "bastards" i was like. okayy.
the cab fare was $8.30.i paid $5.50.
piano lesson was fine. i released myself 10 mnutes earlier to withdraw a certain amount of money from my savings. took a taxi back to school for chinese oral just in time.
reached school right on the dot ,2.15, the reporting time. heaved a sigh of relieve and as the pace of the day slowed,i became more confident of myself.
chinese oral-i was, and still am confident i didn't screw up. i only mispronounced one word. a word which i at first knew the corrct pronounciation, but upon deliberation, decided it was another.so yeahh...
later, met up with gab,nate,and 'jin.ate 2 pratas.
about to leave for kallang via mrt when we saw busses at the bus bay. an idea struck gabriel and i ran after the bus. they were going to where we were going.we hitched a ride all the way there.
at kallang, we waited for mr.ng. he kindly conjure a ploy to get us in. little did any of us know at that point,what retardedly great seats we had later.
after walking around the stadium a couple of times, we somehow ended up sitting at the vip area. had the clearest view amongst nearly 3000 other people.
enjoyed the breakdancing, beat boxing and the band. was awestruck by the main event.
later on, we decided to leave. somehow, jin' and nate got separated from me and gab.
me and gab met mr. danny yeo. a most beloved teacher from my glorious days as a prefect councillor during primary school. he re-kindled my passion for good things. he subconsciously convinced me to stay for the results.
sat at a far end the second time, by now, the minister had occupied the vip seats we had previously occupied. prize presentation. i saw 3 figures sweeping through the the grounds. i stood up, and something inside me hatched. i threw everything, including gabriel down, and i positioned myself pole-ly.
the rest is still fuzzy and woozy to me. rather surreal. like we just qualified for top 3 in BoB all over again.
gosh have i bored people with details too many times.
but thanks nathan, e-jin, gabriel, for being so like. uhm. instigating?but reeally sorry for making you guys wait so long. i swear that once i could, i ran out of the darn place at my fastest running speed so far, to INTERCEPT gabriel who was carrying my bag. we had to jump over several fences higher than me to get to you guys.
thanks for those uhm. thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great, guys, haha. joking.
whoever wins internally, i feel that we have already won in our own hearts. nothing will change, we will just get better and better.
reeeeeeeeally long post.
