Sports Day ---- 27/06/08

Surprisingly, SMK Taman Sea organized their Sports Day on 27th June this year. Compared to my previous school(SMK BU4), this is 3 months late and its a good thing for me because I get to participate in this event. =)

Two Weeks before the Sports Day, the committee of Blue House, Darren and Eng Eu ran all over the school just to recuit new marchers to get 30 marchers in total. I wondered why they got no one to take part. Since I was one of my NS camp best marchers, I decided to volunteer myself because I want to contribute to my house. I didnt know that there will be a marching competition so I march just for Blue House.

We started training on last Monday. The weather wasnt that hot and it encouraged me to go on. Unfortunately, the rest of the members except Yong Kang and Daniel were marching like undeads ~_~ I can march with my leg up to 90 degree, but as we go on it dropped till 45 degree together with my spirit since they were just too lazy to lift up their leg to the optimum height. I am not bragging myself, I think I m the top 3 marchers in that team since the rest has no spirit to march. They were just doing it for that 50 co-corriculum marks. Sigh.

Fortunately the situation gets better later on. I was happy because at least 90% of the team is able to synchronize after 5 days of training. With all the basics mastered on the 5th day, Eng Eu finally taught us the formation and Hakka Dance which he told us earlier. At least this school allows us to perform in marching after they banned POM POM(sport days will nvr be fun without pom pom =( ). The formation is a V shape and the hakka dance will be performed when we done the formation successfully. I wish there are pictures to be shown here.

We have always kept this hakka dance in secret so that no one else other than the team know what we have prepared. Its some secret weapon to us =P. It looks like some tribal dance, and I m familiar with it since we had other company performed it too during ns camp. We dont even know what were we chanting haha =X~

Finally on the Sports Day, we had the confidence to win after daily training of marching till 4.30pm (except for Sat and Sun). We reached the school around 6 because Eng Eu said he is going to 'decorate' us. Ok.... he painted our face half blue half white, gave us a dog bone necklace made out of cupboard, sprayed our hair into blue, gave us a head band that has shuttlecolt feathers on it and lastly, asked us to wear strings that has coconut leaves on it around our waist. We looked like some babarian that you cant even recognize who we are since our face were painted. *Will upload the pics soon*

During performance, we gave in our best and we shouted loudly when we should. For that, we had the audience cheered and clapped the loudest ever on that day especially when we do that hakka dance because the ending pose rox! All of this time I have been doing my best just to gain the best applause from the crowd for my house because that is what matters. We were happy that we did it with least mistakes after 10 days of training. *cried happily with tears*

At the end of the day, its where all the winners are announced. Marching and working as a team has brought 30 of us together and we shouted 'Hang Jebat' whenever any blue house member won a medal. We got 2nd for house decoration =) Finally, its time for the Marching Competition winner. The 2nd place goes to Green House and we clapped for them because they were the champ for marching last year. The first place goes to...... * drum rolls*....... Blue House! YAY after days of marching training and Hakka dance practiced secretly we won the competition =D
The Trophy is kinda big ^^ For the best house, green house won and we got 2nd. We still get a trophy so in total we got 3 gigantic trophy that shown the rest that we 'raided' the prize =)

Once the announcing part is finished, we immediately end the day with the last Hakka dance and it was fun to do it with lots of people looking at you and they cheered after we performed that nicely ^_^ After that, we went to our 'House' to take a big group pic together with all the trophies won.. This pic has captured all the glory and hardwork paid off because everyone were just too happy for winning the competition after training so hard and sacrificed their time. I took lots of picture and hopefully I can upload them here after my friends pass them to me since it was taken with my friends camera =)

In conclusion, I learnt a lesson that hardwork does pay off and this has strengthen my determination to study harder. I wish next year we can win the marching competition too ^^

NS----- Complete!

After 3 months of training in NS, I am finally back to my habitat, PJ on 7th of June with mixture of sorrow and happiness. I am grateful for being able to come back here in one piece and alive because there wasn't any fights that involved me there =D

I felt sorrow on the 2nd last day and the day we left because not everyone is going back on the same day. The first bus was taken by some of the Sandakan members at 11am on 6th Of June since they are taking a flight back to their hometown. It wasn't easy seeing them leave, as the feeling of emptiness slowly engulf our warm hearts and filled it up with loneliness, causing most of us to burst out in tears and ended up with red eyes after crying.(I am still able to hold my tears so I didnt join the crying gang) Waves of hand sent them off, and I can't stop imagining the scene where I am leaving camp with bus too.

After our last night of performing in camp, another group is leaving, which are the Terengganus. They were supposed to leave by 3am, but it was a wrong information given by the commander so they leave the camp with a double decker at 5am. Since its the last night, everyone of us planned not to sleep and stay awake whole night to guard our belongings from thieving hands. Around 2am, we went out of dorm to accompany those Terengganus for the last time before they left. There were quite a number of Terengganu members in my company too, and they asked for forgiveness from me if they ever did anything wrong. I used to dislike them because they were arrogant and disobedient, but my heart softened on that night and I gave them a friendly hug before they leave the camp. Outside of the office(the place where Terengganus wait for the bus), majority cried silently including me as I got influenced by the sad atmosphere where everyone is about to depart and we might not be able to see each other again till the next destiny cross between us and them. When the clock almost tick on 3am, the head staff announced that it was supposed to be another SAndakan group first and Terengganu will only get on bus by 5am. The scene was funny as we go back to the dorm again after hugging each other and shattering tears. Most of us decided to sleep as we got fatigued after performing on stage so they just dozed off soundly on their own bed for the last time. I tried to keep myself awake by writting a farewell letter to a pet sis that adopted me in the camp... but the silence of the night dragged me into my sleep too after a while.

The next morning, I was the only one late to be out of dorm because I didnt pack my bag before I sleep. Fortunately the bus is still there as it was waiting for the other buses to leave first. Now it's time for Selangor mates to go home. Although it's another sad atmosphere, it is not as sad as last night because there weren't much trainees left after Terengganus and Sabahs took their trip home. I hardly shred any tears even though my eyes were watery. It was probably because I am about to end my 3 months of NS life and go home to reunite with my family again. I miss all my friends too~ and the girl I love <3 Taking form 6 right after ns... Out of the 4 appliers that applied together with me for a scholl transfer from SMK BUD 1 to SMK Taman Sea, I m the only who got approved when my result was the lousiest among them =X no form 6 uniform, no books, dont know where is the school... i got not enough rest too since I have to start school right after 2 days @.@

Oh well, I believe there is always a way out in a maze so I didnt got too upset with it and do whatever I can at the moment and leave the rest to be done on their own on Monday =)

This post is just briefly expressing how I felt with the completion of NS so there aren't much exciting stories from ns. For more, check up my site again a few days to look for updates =D

I guess thats all for tonight. Good night and stay tuned for the next update~*
