“Everyone’s awesome. But there are some that are more awesome than others.”
- Louise T :)
And here go the THANKYOUS:
Ling Ming&Kimberley (the awesome captains!), Shen Wen (the awesome perkhemahan head. Read the posts below.), Yun Yee, Shu Yi, Shuk Pui (the incredible marching coordinators), Kai Yi, Rou Xin, Livia and Jiun Shen (the awesome perkhemahan kakis).
And all the other Kuning peeps who bothered turning up to help with deco/marching – Rou Ann, Yu Li, Kay Zhi and the scouts (sorry lah, forgotten your names. :[ ), Emirul, Yee Hsiong, Dennis, Darren, Shih Xuan, Yi Wen, Joo Lin & friends.
Not forgetting all the runners that won us our 2nd place.
EDITTT.
Or the marchers, whom I’d like to thank one by one, but I can’t remember all their names! Except for a few.
And the MARVELOUS BARFELOUS TEACHER ADVISORS CIK NOR ASHIKIN AND MR CHAN FOI ONN. And they’re wonderful, cause they never go angry with us, even though we messed up all the PKS rooms. And Ashikin even helped us to go out and buy supplies! And she got us supper when they stayed overnight! They actively involved themselves in the khemah-building and the entire sports day. They gave their full support to all that we did.
I missed out a lot of people, I know. But that’s just off the top of my head. They’re the ones that make me proud to be a Rumah Kuning member.
We made tons of sacrifices – time, money, sleep. They were running around in school the night before, some doing marching, perkhemahan and even running the next day but they still stayed up late anyway. Nobody felt like going home or sleeping while there was so much work to be done.
Who would’ve known you’d all make such awesome team mates? :)
It’s kinda sad to realize that we won’t have this kind of thing in college. This was the last time.
And here go the CONGRATULATIONS and JIAYOUS.
Biru people, GOOD LUCK for next year. Your wolf was so so so pretty. I heard Sook Fah was the one that worked on it. I saw it yesterday morning and it gave me a shock ‘cause IT LOOKED SO REAL. Not that I was scared of it. But it meant that we had serious competition. At least, till I saw the rest of the khemah.
And to Merah people, congratulations on winning the marching! I clapped for you! And for the perkhemahan kakis, it’s SHIT that you got DQ-ed and we all know it. When I get my camera back I’ll post all the pictures of your khemah up so that the world will know how pretty it was and how much effort went into it. It’s not fair, but that’s life, really.
Anyway who cares what the judges think? The judges weren’t the ones that put in effort and care and inspiration. You guys did.
And only PERKHEMAHAN people (regardless of house) will understand how difficult it is to come up with a concept, design and then make it 3D. So only the opinions of the PERKHEMAHAN people matter. People who didn’t contribute to the khemah should just SHUT UP. And perkhemahan people don’t criticize other house’s khemah, cause they know all the effort behind it.
And on the field yesterday, every single person who worked on their house’s khemah KNEW that you all were the best. And only OUR opinion matters. So there, stupid judges. Last place, my foot. Take THAT.
Hijau, to be honest your khemah looked weird. But the mascot was the cutest mascot I’ve ever seen!!!!!!!! And congrats on the well deserved perbarisan 2nd place.
Ungu, no need to say anything la hor. *coughKaiBooncough*.
OH and yesterday during the L2 4X100m something happened.
Kuning and Merah were left in the race, and Kuning had just crossed the finish line, leaving Merah struggling behind. We were cheering away for Kuning .
And then I heard this conversation behind me.
PERSON ONE, PERSON TWO, PERSON THREE.
“MERAAAAAH! GO MERAH!”
“Ehh. Why you cheer for Merah. Lose ady lah.”
“Yeah. Kuning pass the finish line dy.”
“Yeah! Kuning finish already, left only Merah mah. So cheer for Merah! COME ON MERAH! YOU CAN DO IT! WOOOO!”
I turned around and you know who this person was?
THE ONE AND ONLY AARON NG JIN TING.
And FYI, he’s from Rumah Kuning.
O.O
(Which just goes to show how AWESOME the Rumah Kuning people are!)
I didn’t know whether tell him I was proud of him, laugh at him or just whack him.
So I just whacked him. Seemed the easiest to do at that point. But I have to credit him lah.
The Drain could take a sportsmanship lesson or two from Aaron!
And Kimberley’s right. See her blog. A lot of lessons learnt. I doubt the winners learn as much as the losers.
I learnt to cooperate.
To give my best.
To be a perfectionist.
To accept that I can’t win all the time.
That every year, only ONE house can win, and one house HAS to come in last.
To know that THE LOSERS MAKE THE WINNER. (Without losers, there aren’t any winners!)
So in more ways than one, this year’s Sports Day was just as good as last year’s. :)
PS: Marchers, seriously it’s okay. Whatever the results show, I know you guys are AWESOME!
