SILVER!

hurrrah. this morning couldn't sleep, i guess i was nervous. reached school early at about 6.45. met widj and evan in the bus stop and picked them up. (: when we got there, said GOODBYE TO WIDJ. NO~ and she went to class, we went to the toilets to change. and suee the makeup expert helped us put on LIGHT make-up. hehe.

went to the theatrette and had warmups. then went downstairs after going through each song twice. was quite nervous by now. saw 3/5 before boarding the bus. saw widjie and waved frantically!!! :D WAHAHA. we were split up into 2 buses. sec 1,2 and 3 together and sec4s on the other bus. when we got on, we counted off and guess what? there's only 26 of us! so when the sec4s leave, there'll only be 26 choir girls. SAD.

on the way there, we were strangely calm and peaceful on the way to the SIngapore conference hall. when we got there, the back wheel of our bus went up on the side walk, and dude, it felt like we were gonna topple over any second. and we would all die and only the sec4s could go for SYF. haha! (: anyway, we were there early. becuase mr shahril had this dream our us being stuck in a traffic jam and we were late! registered downstairs and headed upstairs to the holding room.
then guess what? I SAW MY DAD. he like, magically appeared out of nowhere. i was like WHAT IS HE DOING HERE??? anyway, tried to get that off my mind and concentrate on singing. when we got on stage i was strangely calm and composed. i think sunset was the worst song we sung. but the hokkien song was the best (:

after our performance was the break, then next came scgs. they were so good! the greenridge conductor was funny. he kept turning around after every song as though waiting for applause but the audience is just so silent. lol. we said he was posing for the camera! HAHA.
results came after all the performances and when our school was next, everyone was holding hands and stuff. (: HAHA. when they announced we got silver everyone screamed so loudly! it was great. we felt so ACCOMPLISHED. haha. (: we aimed for a ilver becuase last time we only got a bronze. but anyway, everyhting went great. thank you God.

on the bus on the way home, everyone was silent. many were sleeping. you could tell that although we got a silver, we were still disappointed. but at least we did our best. (:

reached school at about 2 something. then we changed back into our uniforms. (: so much hw for nest week. and we have the anne of green gables musical next friday. sigh.

tomorrow's the sec4 farewell party! (: can't wait. it's gonna be fun! :D

ok. going now. I CAN SLEEP IN TOMORROW!!! have a great weekend everyone!

SUCCESS by Ralph Waldo Emerson

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
