I LOVE MCFLY AND DAVID AND THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY IT.
Lately I've been rather content and positive (which is rare) and generally excited about life.
Sometimes I'm weird and retarded and I don't know what I'm saying/doing.
In the words of Harry (Judd, not Potter) - I want to kiss you all...

GOLD WITH DISTINCTION. 1ST IN 3RD DIVISION.
Sunday, July 13, 2008 @ 11:11 AM
CEDAR SYMPHONIC BAND GOT GOLD AND 1ST IN 3RD DIVISION.
Haha I know, I said I would blog yesterday, but my cousin was using the computer last night when I got home at 11.30 and I fell asleep waiting for her to finish. Darn.
Yesterday, I cried, I screamed, I laughed, I jumped around, I got high, and I experienced one of the best moments ever.
Oh, but I also lost my new name tag. Which is really, really ironic, because in my excitement and happiness over us getting Gold with Distinction and 1st in 3rd division, I accidentally dropped my name tag which I was holding on to for strength and ended up losing it in the VCH hall. ):
I lost my name tag because CSB got 1st in 3rd division.
See how ironic that sounds? Haha ooh, I love lit.
We were really quite shocked, because the entire day, things hadn't been going well at all. On Friday's band prac, the entire school experienced a blackout, and yesterday morning, before we went to VCH, the bandroom blacked out again! And I was being lousy again. We were quite messy when we were leaving for VCH. And right before our performance, Ms Sia looked so annoyed with us, and I thought we took quite some time to arrange ourselves like how she wanted, because I kept thinking, "OMG hurry! We're getting timed for this!" And after our performance, although she didn't walk away, I think she was a little annoyed with us still.
Plus, there were quite a few of us who regretted our playing after the performance.
But even with so many setbacks, CEDAR SYMPHONIC BAND STILL GOT GOLD WITH DISTINCTION AND 1ST IN 3RD DIVISION.
We got 87.8%, if I'm not mistaken. The presenter was saying, "Cedar Girls' Secondary School, with a score of.... 87" - And then I couldn't hear anything else because all of us started screaming the second we heard the number 87, so I'm not sure any of us know the confirmed decimal place. And the row of girls in front of us were covering their ears. Hahaha.
Afterwards, we started counting down the number of results left, so we could know if we'd gotten the highest percentage in our division, so when they announced the last result, we all screamed some more because we knew we'd gotten 1st in 3rd divison. (And yep, in all that excitement, I dropped my name tag.) Afterwards, we did the CSB commama cheer right there and then in the hall, even though everyone was staring at us. :DDDDD Maybe they were thinking, "aiyah, it's only NBC, big deal," but it was a big deal for us to be the top band in our division. And then we called Ms Sia! Tiffany asked me to call her and thank her, and I managed to do it, even though I was really quite scared, but then sadly, my phone doesn't have loudspeaker. D: But yeah, I was telling her through tears that we wanted to thank her because we'd gotten Gold, and then I said we'd gotten 1st in 3rd division, with 87.8%. And she said, "wah! good." Sorry, I was really excited when I called, so I couldn't remember much. But anyway, afterwards, we saw Ms Sia and TKGS outside, so we went up to thank her personally and we even jiayou-ed TKGS okay! Haha fellow school of Ms Sia's mah. Must support. But now they know Cedarians are crazy :D
We went out for a while after that to celebrate, but Livia, Celeste, Junying and me went back earlier to watch TKGS's performance at 7, leaving Cathlin, Ying Ying, Emily and the two Sherilyns at Suntec City. And we were so desperate to watch TKGS, Celeste even took off her court shoes and ran on the street in only her stockings! The four of us were clearly getting weird stares from passers-by, but who cares?
TKGS was good, of course. Their second song had so many running notes that I think I was just gaping at them half the time. They were awesome! And they got 83.something%, Gold! I thought they'd gotten 1st in 1st division, but I read a TKGS band member's blog and she said Temasek Poly got 1st, so.. ): I'm actually kind of sad for them. And I thought Ms Sia had gotten two 1sts. But it's okay, you guys got Gold and 2nd ehh! Anyway their playing rocks lah.
But Ahhh CSB did it! :D Haha I expected us to get a Gold, but I didn't expect the with Distinction at the end. After all our hard work, all the pain, the scoldings, the numerous band pracs, we finally did it. I don't think anyone was expecting us to get GoldwithDistinction, and really, I can't describe that sense of euphoria we felt when we knew we got Gold, let alone how excited we felt when we heard the result of the last school.
I just keep thinking, "Cedar Girls' Secondary School, with a score of... 87.8%, Gold with Distinction." I just keep wanting to replay the entire scene in my head. I told Angeline that I wouldn't cry if we got a Gold, but I would if we got a Silver, but I just felt so proud of us for being able to overcome all our obstacles that my tear ducts just couldn't help but reactivate themselves every few seconds, and I must have looked like some mad woman because Myrra was sitting next to me and I think she was patting my back. And I think those girls sitting in front of me even turned behind because I was crying so hard.
And even though I was really upset and worried when I lost my name tag at first, I decided that hey, we'd gotten gold with distinction and we were the top band in our division, so what does a name tag matter, right? All I should be doing is be blissfully drunk on happiness.
Now we have to work even harder for SYF '09, and get the Gold we've always wanted. Yes, we may have gotten 1st, but I definitely don't want us to get complacent and start slacking off. But for now, just celebrate and enjoy this while it lasts.
I love you CSB! It doesn't matter what we get, we'll always pull through in the end.
After listening to the 1st division results, Livia, Celeste and me went out cos Junying had to go. ): We went to eat at Thai Express, and then to Esplanade, where we bumped into Gillian, who congratulated us:D And then we went to Clarke Quay and sat down and just talked. And talked. I must say, it was an enlightening experience.
Lucy and Nancy, I really am sincerely sorry! I hope we don't have any hard feelings despite everything I did and said. And I'm sorry I was such an idiot during the entire period of 3 months that you guys suffered together. But from now on, I'll try my very very best to improve and make sure you guys don't undergo the same thing twice. And I hope we'll pull through despite all the problems we face right now.
I love you, CSB.
Always.
