5 weeks
Sunday, February 11th, 2007Wow, my 1st blog ………… hehe,1 2 write 1 special blog bout me n the other 32 of my good frens……….
well, it all started 5 weeks ago ………… me , wai loon ,n CAI BAO r responsible 2 train up a team of 30 members 2 enter our school’s marching competition………
After 3 days , we’ve found 30 members hu r the best 2 represent PBSM…………
From tat day onwards, all we ever do was train our marching skills…. altough it sounds easy 2 u guys out there hu does’nt reli noe bout marching……… but in reality it reli is a tough job for the 3 of us…………..
During dis 5 weeks…. all of us had been through a lot of tough experinces ………… some of my frens had tuition lessons which clashed wif our marching training ……… so they had 2 change their tuition lesson’s time again n again …….. i noe tat they r all tired , cos all they do is study n march , study n march …………. i feel like i am toturing them ……….
Other than tat….. some of them hav parents which gave them a lot of pressure ………… bcos of tat, some of the members even cried bcos they sacrificed to much for marching ……….
2 be honest, the 3 of us have’nt done a good job ourselves ……….. 2 them, we r their leaders ……. we need 2 be responsible for all of our members ………. i admit tat i did not do a good job cos i failed 2 find a better time for them 2 pratice marching, failed 2 cut down their pressure, failed 2 make them happy during practices , failed 2 keep them from getting harmed ………….
2 weeks b4 the competition …….. wai loon n me came up wif a formation which is …… errmm….. less perfect ………. this formation is even worse compared 2 the scout’s ……… bcos of tat our members felt reli ashamed 2 be in this formation ……… at the same time ……. wai loon’s mum is sent into the hospital bcos of Denggi ………. its quite impossible for him 2 think up another formation ………. so i decided 2 ‘modify’ our original formation ………. wif the help of our former board members -Zhe Xin n Kah Ling we made up a better formation ………… n we taught dis formation 2 the members at the last week …….. ZX n KL felt very happy cos the members liked the formation n their spirits r comin baq rapidly ………. all of us felt reli happy ………. but the problems did not end here
The next day, when we r practising in the school field …….. we saw tat the Scouts had changed their formation ………. wat reli made the members angry is tat they copied 80%of the formation from our NGO competition n claimed tat we r the ones hu copied theirs………. im not pointing fingers or anything ………. cos some of my best frens r in the scouts - John, Hwa Zien n many more ….. the 1 hu is reli angry is the other vice commander - Cai Bao …..
but its ok, cos the scout’s formation is reli great ………….. im speachless…………. but seeing their new formation, our members became down again ……………
Wat makes me happy is tat some of our members wrote chainmails which encourage them…….. this messages reli helped a lot ………….
The day b4 the competition ………. we had a rehersal of the real competition ……… well… PBSM did errmmm…. ok …. but there r still room for improvements ……… so wai loon is reli worried …………. so he scolded them ………. but i noe he is just nervous …………
Finally, the day we had been waitin for has arrived ……………….. We gathered in the PBSM room 2 wear our uniforms ………….some of them even came late…….. hehe, cant blame them cos they need 2 prepare their food for the sports day food fair
1.30pm we gathered in front of the field……… everybody wants 2 win badly …….. i’ve never seen them so energetic …….. 2.00pm the competition finally started ……everybody is nervous ……… im the flag holder n CAI BAO is the board holder …….. MAN!!! r we nervous …………..So there goes us ……….. we marched around the field ……showed our formation 2 the proud owner of nan hwa - Mr Tan Kea Keat ………… n stopped behind the flags for 25 min …..poor poor Jocelynn is sick at tat time so at the last few minutes she became diizy n had 2 rest……. lukily the sun was’nt tat hot tat day …………..o her condition will be worse ………… but she is reli tough …… alot of boys falled b4 her …………..
So tats it ……… 5 wweks of hard work just 2 compete for 15 min …….. so unfair …………
After tat the members went 2 the food fair n enjoyed themselves ……… as for me ……. i was sleepin in the PBSM room the whole time ………. n 2 be honest, i was sure tat we will lose this competition …………
5.40……. b4 gathering 2 hear the results…… kah ling n sock tean told me tat we got second place ……… aiiihh…. actually at tat time, i’ve predicted it 2 be like dis ………. so im just a little dissapointed ………
5.45 …….. the results are out ……. the announcer said….. Tempat pertama bagi kategori kawad kaki badan beruniform ……ialah ……. Persatuan………. BULAN SABIT MERAH!!!!!! WAT THE HECK!!!!!!! i was so shocked tat …………i …… errmm ……hehe u dun need 2 noe……. but i was reli reli happy , tat goes for the rest of the members 2 ……….. they r all screaming n shouting ….. some even cried……… hahaha………. wat a day 2 remember ………. all our hardwork, tears n sweat …….. just for 1st place………. this feling is reli priceless………
My thoughts : A big Thank You 2 the 30 members hu made this success possible…….. my Ketua - Wai loon, my partner - CAI BAO, our bekas - Zhe Xin , Kah Ling , Sock Tean,Yee Mei, Ze Yang, Ah Bee, Chin Guan n Zai Yang ……………
without u guys this would’nt be possible ………… u all muz believe tat PBSM is always the best …………. i reli thank you all for your support…….. hope we can work together again next year
