#177; teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Sunday, November 8, 2009
I think this weekend is probably one of the happiest I'll have for a while :D From Friday to Monday, yes.
FridayGO WADDLE WARRIORS,
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
It was probably the happiest ten seconds of my life, Crystal and I were screaming and hyperventilating and high ten-ing again and again (though I think we missed about five times out of ten) and then AHHHH omg I am so proud of us, we put in this much effort and I had my doubts about Waddle getting Champion because of.. stuff, yeah.
But after that ten seconds it hit me how two other houses who deserved the top 3 placing SO MUCH didn't get it and I seriously don't know why because Richard was so synchro like they always are, and I think everybody loved their disc spinning and DJ-ing. But I really hope that they remember what Eenette said to them before the competition (sorry I eavesdropped) that it doesn't really matter what placing they get, they're just going out there to have fun. And I think that even though everyone wants to be recognised for their efforts, I think that everyone knows that Richard and Buckle were really deserving of the top 3 placing, who cares what they say.
As for Buckle, I heard and hence know for a fact that they were asked to rechoreograph their dance so as to stand a chance to win and if I'm not wrong they came back 6/7 days every week during the June Holidays. I think if anyone put in the most amount of effort, it's really them. And their choreography was so unique and everyone really enjoyed it and I know a member of their team had an injured ankle but still did the routine anyway, I think we should really all learn from this type of dedication, motivation and strength to pursue what you want. And Buckle, even though the placings don't reflect it, I know of a lot of people who really wonder why you didn't get it, as well as Richard.
Argh so actually this feeling is very bittersweet; I love that Waddle managed to get Champion, but I'm kinda sad that two very deserving Houses and Captains didn't get to share the joy on their Farewell Day.
As for the Farewell, I think the present exchanging is very... interesting LOL. I like the colourful hats from the House Capt Exchange, and I like the UG crowns! Argh and when I looked at all the Sec4s it really really hit me that their leaving like all the guides seniors WeiQing YinLeng Amanda Vivien Sarah and there's cheer seniors WenYing Nat ShiJin, and next year we're going to have to be the upper sec, seniors to half the school and I don't know if I want it? Because I really can't tell if we're ready.
And how Kim says that our batch doesn't have a clear leader, I'm starting to understand what she means -- like with the previous batches there were very obvious future CLs like WeiQing and Alicia and when the others also got the role it was like OHH, YEAH, THEY ARE SO CL-ISH, but for my batch I can't really envision anyone as taking on that role. okay, nevermind, I will ignore this until Striping and then I can go OHHH again.
Class Party after that, I LOVE YOU ARU, that cake was so so sweet (in both ways xD), you know contrary to one of my earlier posts, I think I really am starting to love 210 more and I think I'm going to miss 210, since, well, it's hard to be in a class for two years running without feeling a form of attachment toward it. Played a lot of weird songs, and and uhhh, that's about it I guess :D Oh and I attacked Cheryl with a lot of hugs because it hit me that I'll never be in the same class as her again (she's flying off to Taiwan.. today!) D:
Then we got back Progress Reports, then MinChih Eda and Crystal went to do their PSB measurement thing so I just hovered around and walked to and from between the pavillion and foyer until I saw Eda and Crystal come out from the direction of the hall -.- Not enough time to go Far East so Crystal MinChih and I just ate in the canteen, and MinChih kiasu-ly changed into Waddle shirt like half an hour before audition -.- Then guides fell in at the canteen and it was very scary and awkward because I was sitting in their line of vision and it seemed like I was ponning because I was unchanged and still eating so Crystal and I purposely took out our Waddle shirts and held it like a flag (or as much as a flag as we dared to) to say "I'm not ponning! Here's my reason!" Went to the Foyer after that, Rachel Nadia and Diane already there, and then suddenly this horde of auditionees walked in in their Waddle shirts and pinafores ._.
Rachel and Nadia taught the Extra cheer first a few times, then left them to practise as I taught two very nice latecomers! Then an insanely long part of Cup of Life, but since they chose that over the simpler dance, then good luck to them LOL. Discussed a while after that, and then whenever an auditionee walked past we were like "shhh!" hahaha.
Went for Guides afterward! Then Kim and Rachel bullied me into carrying this gigantic tent bag but I AM VERY STRONG TYVM. Round Robin-ed stuff we should and should not do, then we had to pretend we were in a tight dress and walk, then pick up a coin, then sit down on the bench! After that was balancing a book on our heads and walking to the green barrier and back; my head has very lousy balance D: And we managed to finish the whole thing ten seconds past limit, but whatever, it's good enough :D Then discussed Farewell Item, B11ATCHIES WHY HAVEN'T YOU REPLIED MY EMAIL D:
Went for Milk Tea after that with Amelia Nicole WeiYi (their names spell anw!) to do the Farewell Item but we spent more time playing OvenBreak but at least we got it done :D Didn't go home too late either LOL.
