It's been 11 days since SYF.
It's true that the nervousness, excitement, stress and "high"-ness have begun to die down.
But I thought that it is a very important event in my life that I must pen it down :)
On the morning of 30th April, I came to school, seriously filled with excitement and hope. A lot of people mumbled a jiayou to me on the way up to the music room, which really encouraged me :D Thankyou! And thankyou to those who sms-ed me too! I'm sorry that I couldn't reply to everyone, but really thank you! :D
When we played through once in the music room, I could feel that everyone was very serious about it and we were actually "together" both musically and mentally. The feeling was really good :)
The bus journey to TRCC was unexpectedly quiet. I thought I would be damn high and everything but somehow I was just concentrating on telling myself to be confident haha yinghong taught me that we should say "I'm confident!" instead of "don't be nervous" as it will make you even more nervous. Before we reached trcc, we sang eine klein once through :D
After that was just waiting and waiting. The butterflies in my stomach just keep appearing and disappearing :/
Then we played the last time in the tuning room. And I felt that we were ready. :)
At the backstage, we did a lot of stupid things, like some random dance and silent whooshes. It was the first time everyone was smiling! Seriously I was very very happy to see everyone so united and excited.
Finally, it was our turn. We played and it was the first time i enjoyed eine klein. Pirates was good :) I know that it was not our best performance but i truly enjoy the music, our music on stage. Amazingly, I was not nervous. haha i didn't know how i did it too :) no matter what we get, I'm actually satisfied :)
Before the results was just a lot of talking and jokes. Seniors were analysing who were good and stuff but I didn't listen to them very much. Just thought that the results would say it all.
It turned out that the results did not say a single thing. When they announced the results and I realised that every school got silver, I was utterly confused. Everyone was just stoning there giving the "huh, now what? why like that?" face. Seriously, I didn't know how I should feel. Happy or sad? Okay, now as i think back i think it was neither. I was just very 不服气, seriously that 8 silvers just threw all our efforts into the drain. I wanted to know where our school stand. I believe everyone was all fighting for that top place. In the end, after half a year of preparation, we were told that everyone was equal. I think I would feel better if they award a gold to some other school, then at least i know there's someone who's better and we can work towards that standard.
I didn't cry at first. But Mr Tan la, went up to say something to the judges. He said something like "I've been with them through many days of practices, in fact many many nights and many many saturdays.." Wah that really made me cry like shit.
On the bus, we just keep complaining to each other hahaha which made me felt much much better. And Mr Tan and the guys were really funny when they discussed about what to say for the morning announcement. haha, glad you guys find it funny too. We wanted to make it humourous and sarcastic. hahah
After a long debrief, we went out for lunch and then pool. But i came back music room to sleep for a while cos i was really very tired. haha.
That night, we had POST SYF PARTY (PSP) at Liting's function room! It's really pretty! Like a glass house then outside is just the pool with some tables and chairs. So it's like a poolside party! So cool right! hahaha. That night was really really high hahaha. We sang many many many songs (i realised a lot of ppl in harmoc love JAYCHOU!), played with many many sparklers and had lots and lots of fun and laughter! Suddenly, all the results don't matter anymore. hcharmonica is just simply the best! :) hahaha we can forget about all the results and anger and just 放下 in a few hours. Don't you think we are such a lovely and cheerful bunch? hee :P
Although we only completed the race with a silver, I believe we did it beautifully :)the people. the love. the music.
hcharmonica will not be what it is today without any of the 3 :)
