competition
haising was before us. they played not bad i think. proud of them. i forgot how we played, but i remember i kept screwing up. damn. dont know why whenever i got any solo accompaniment parts i will screw it up..syf also..feel so down, like im so useless and lousy actually.

after we played we could go anywhere we wanted, either go play or eat whatsoever, as long as we be back by 7pm for the results. on the way up to the room, we saw other mjcsb members and they told us we played overtime. played 15mins 17s. the organisers gave 10 seconds' grace, so we sort of played 7 secs over and so there would be penalty. siGh. i was hoping that things would turn out right though.

shopping
went shopping with jieying during the free and easy period. she wanted to get a red shirt for her mayday concert. i also saw some shirts that i liked but i guess because the typical malaysian girl's size is small...so their largest size...i cannot make it. too tight lo. haha. we went to this department store called bum city. while shopping there we saw this g string for women kept in a jar bottle...so we decided to get it for yixin. haha. humour her la. we saw sockleng and tsz shan there too. they both bought a lot of things already lo..cos the clothes there suit their size all that and there are nice shirts there. siGh. shopped quite a lot but didnt manage to get anything i'd like.

my 24th lion
yesterday i saw this lion cushion at bum city that i liked...but it costs RM45.90!! thats super ex la...in the end today felix, ky and hw bought me one...so touching. haha. thanks guys. now i can sleep better cos got a lion to hug.

results
went back for the results...things didnt turn out well. since we were the only jc band we should be more experienced and probably be the best. thats the thing about competitions la. make me dont wanna lose. who wants anyway.

mjcsb's score was 85.12%. we got a gold medal.

we lost to the top position by 0.08%. many tears were shed lo. i felt numbed i didnt cry. after the entire thing we assembled at the lobby..and then i cried a bit while dunno who was talking to us. but we know that initially we had a higher score. yes, we had a much higher score. arGh. they were very happy that we lost to them, and they said it out loud. yes, curse me for mentioning this.

haising was the 5th but it wasnt included to play for closing when they said that the top 5 can play. siGh. dunno why.

due to the fact that many of us were crying, ms sia cried too. its like, so scary lo. i've always seen ms sia as a very strong woman, but i got anxious when she cried. hongwei saw her at the reception area of the hotel and mrs chua told him that at first ms sia was alright but she felt guilty after seeing us like so sad..and then i felt guilty. asked hongwei to look for her with me. we went to the cafe and saw some band world people (they are the staff of the event). saw this tall guy and asked if he saw ms sia. he helped us search the part of the cafe which we cannot enter and he didnt see her. siGh. he asked how we were, and he gave some remarks (which i thought isnt appropriate to say here in case i get him into trouble) that made hongwei and i laugh. and i realised that a lot of people are supporting mj, by our side for this competition. =D

while we were talking to him halfway my hsc tuba sect jnrs came out of the cafe and i talked to them for a while and realised that the tall guy had left. i havent really thanked him that he helped us find ms sia, so ran up to him and thanked him. and introduced myself. haha. yea so a new friend made. his name's joel.

hongwei and i wondered if she'd be at the ballroom or sth..the schools which were playing for the friendship concert later tonight including chij. saw mr yeo there and i asked him if he saw ms sia. as usual he asked how we were handling this stuff. i was really san ba la. and cursed a bit. but he told me a lot of stuff, those words of wisdom. sth like, we should be happy for the malaysian bands. singaporean kids like us have a lot of opportunities to listen to great music, through the internet too. but the msian students were less lucky, they may be poorer and have less to tide through. instead of grumbling we should encourage them. yes, encourage them =)

saw ms sia at gicc some time later...could see that her eyes were still wet and i began to suan her, make her happy those sort of thing. yea. didnt want her to feel guilty but i think by this time she's better.

friendship concert
the concert wasnt that interesting actually..and there wasnt much of an exchange, as in, we didnt get to communicate much with other bands, dunno why its called a friendship concert anyway. haha. and thats how the comp ended.

late night chat
instead of the usual night hangout with the boys, i went to tower 2 and joined my jnrs for a chat. while we were talking we heard this scream and thought it was tsz yan cos the scream was like hers. and after that we heard some rowdy boys shouting too. got spooked and they reported it to mdm zaibon. in the end it wasnt tsz yan lo. cheY. scared me, scared us, and scared tsz shan especially.

went back to bathe, and slept.

how i wish i could hug you today
