The Band gets Merit... My life is in deep shit...
The Band got a Merit for the Marching Assessment last Saturday... I dont know if it's a good thing or not as it seemed that everyone wanted to get the COD (Certificate of Distinction). Anyway, I reached school around 1.50pm. I was told to reach school by 1.30pm. Haha... It seems that I always late. Thanks to Jack, who taught me the art of coming late... Now I realised that I'm always late for things. Whether it's school or meetings, I'm still late for that... Haha... Alright, back to the thingy.
We board the bus to the National Stadium at around 2.15pm. In the bus, most of the seats were occupied. I actually had no seats but in the end, I asked a Sec 1 to give up a seat for me while he can have a special privilege to sit on my lap... hehehe... During the journey, I helped Ms Pan to do some filming. I asked the Sec 1s how they feel about the main Band. Well... the replies were like "Okay lo... very good..." However, I believe that they also want to cheer the main Band no matter what they get. It's like we are united even if we still have this incisible barrel between us... That's what I call an interaction... Since I'm an unknown to the juniors, I must try to communicate with them, ensure that they still know my pressence in the Band.
We reached the stadium and everyone was quite nervous. The reason for that... the first performance was by our Band; Canberra Secondary Band. Haha... I was there trying to film the Band's marching but it was a very shot. The filming was very bad as my hands were shivering. Maybe it was because I hold the box of bottles for too long and I didnt get to rest my hands... or maybe it's because of the push-ups that I had did during the morning. I really dont know. What I really know was that while filming the thing, my hands were shaking... Even my juniors were asking me if I'm alright anot... Haha... After filming the second Band's performance, I gave up... i returned the video cam to Ms Pan... Haha... Sorry Ms Pan... Just because my hands are shivering, my shooting went badly... My bad...
That wasnt the worst part of the day. Since I'm thirsty, I went to buy a drink outside the stadium. I really dont know where the hack is the stall since I do not go to this stadium regularly. Anyway, I try to find the stall but it turn out to be unsuccessful. As I continue to walk, I saw my juniors and I questioned them where they were going. In the end, it was the 3 of us, looking for a drink... What the... We kept walking and walking... and walking... and walking... Gosh!!! WHERE THE HACK IS THAT STALL???!!!!! This really piss me off while thinking of it. In the end, we found the 'drinks stall', actually it's a vending machine... What the.... We bought the drinks and went back. We went to the nearest stairs to enter the stadium... To our surprise, we actually walked 3/4 of the stadium. My mind was thinking, so actually we had walked a BIG round just to buy a drink... What the... Forget it... What's done is done... Just sit down and relax and watch the performance... Haix...
As time passed by, I saw lots of Bands performing... From the best performances to the alright performances... haha... It was really interesting to see these bands played. Although our school's standard are not up to their level, at least we did try something during the Marching Assessment. We can try it and not just lose it, right??!!! Hehe.. In the end, we got a Merit for the Marching Assessment. It's not a bad thing after all. Everyone did very well. Even if they didnt, at least they still put their best effort on the whole thing. Band, you really did well in my own opinion. Although the training was hard and tough, your efforts were paid foff by getting a merit... Its better than getting a COP right... look at the bright side for those who still feel down... Relax... Smile... and concentrate in your studies right now...
After the whole thing, we went back to school. That was the worst travel I had ever been to. The bus... actually there were 2 buses but only 1 make it to the stadium. The another bus could not enter the stadium's parking lot since a jam had occured. Never mind about that. Worst of all, all the band members had to squeeze into the bus. About 60 people boarding a bus which allows only 40 people... What the... I was the cordinator again, shouting the Band members to squeeze in, as well as getting them to seat in 3s in a row... What the... After s while, we finally got out of the jam and I left the bus to catch the vacant one... Much better... I dont know what happen to the first bus but the second bus, everyone was having fun... I took the video cam to interview the rest and we had a mini chat... Haha... For me, I'm tired and happy... tired since I was out for the whole day... happy for the achievement that we had...
After the Band ended, Chris and I went to Jonathan's house to have a party... Well, the party was actually a guys party but Chris was an exception... haha... Not saying that she's a guy but just because she's Jonathan's god-sis, as well as Eugene's and Jack... Whatever... She has this God-Bro policy with the rest that I really dont know who she refers as god-bro... After she took her shower, everyone went to buy the wine... Vodka... Hooch... an dmany more... Chris and I also bought our meals since we had not eaten anything at all. We went back and feasted... until 11 plus, Eugene, Kian Wee, Chris and I went down to watch soccer... Chris actually was going back home... While on the way to the bus stop, Eugene and Kian Wee were discussing about the seats at the coffeeshop to wacth Chelsea vs Liverpool... They suggested to go Yishun and watch. Before I had a chance to answer them, Kian Wee went to flag for the Taxi... What the... I havent even say anything yet and you help me make a decision... What the... nothing to say... Just board the taxi and head to Yishun...
Watching the match was quite exciting. Chelsea lost in the end. We walked back to Jonathan's house and the rest started eating the Carrot cake that we had bought... After that, there was this Naruto competition... People started to team up with each other and the first round was totally amazing... With the odds 5-5... a last victory would predict which team wins... in the end, my team won... Haha.. but after that, I kept losing... While playing the game, I got abit drunk after drinking Vodka... Raymond and I were the ones to knock out first... I was too tired that I slept on the floor, with a cushion on my back... Since I have no place the sleep, my body was on the cushion, my legs were on the wall... vertically on the wall... funny right??!!! Raymond took the space of the bed. I actually wana put my legs on the bed but since he's sleeping, I dont want to disturb him and I did that... Woke up at around 9 plus and found myself surrounded my 'dead bodies'... haha... Jimmy and the rest were sleeping... Lying on the floor... haha...Guess everyone were drunk after all... haha...
Anyway, Yun Ting, happy birthday... Sorry for not turning up yesterday as I had lessons till 5pm. After that, I had my CCA from 6 to 8pm... Hehe... My CCA was actually swimming but it turn out to be Water Polo instead. Never mind. Since I like to try new things, Water Polo would be a good idea after all.. hehe... Alright... ending here now... This sat would be the match at Punggol... Good luck people...
