The past week
Hahaha... the conversation over at the tagboard is so interesting. I'm amused.
Whatever is going on there isn't going to affect my decision to support my beloved kids. I've already promised them that I am going, so I WILL go. It's a great chance for me to meet up with my ex-padawans. Of course I will turn up.
The past week has been overwhelming, challenging and tiring. I've got so many things to do!!!
We are still at Northern Ireland and Market Gardening! omg... lotsa catching up to do. *faints*
A lot of events have taken place and more are coming up. The leadership handover ceremony on friday saw the stepping down of the sec4 leaders. The sec3s are taking over! Quite a number are my students, I think. [ I'm still trying very hard to remember all my students' names and faces.] Took lotsa photos that day.
Finally met up with my CCA ple. Quite disheartening. I can only think of a chinese proverb to describe 一盘散沙. A definite far cry from the band I've been mixing around with. It seems that my CCA is akin to a dumping ground too. Interest level is not that strong. Can't believe I said that myself. Going to have a lot of work to do to bring up the standards and morale.
[I think I've done something that I shouldn't have done. I'm really regreting it now. The feeling is probably going to stay with me for quite some time. Sigh... time to reflect and think of ways to savage the situation. ]
Saturday was a big event. I was honoured to cover the SYF at the national stadium. Went to sch early in the morning to meet WL. Wanted to make use of the training session at YCK stadium to let her try on the SLR. Unfortunately, things didn't go the way I thought.
Oh man... I really miss caiyi and wenwhui. My ex-padawans are so good.
Followed the band to the stadium. Lotsa of kids there. The primary and kindergarten kids are sooooo cute! By the time I got in to the seats, TKSS has already taken the centre portion. Sigh... Mine is actually not that bad lar. It so happened that I can see the PM from my seat. Unfortunately, I'm quite short too. My vision was frequently blocked by other people. Darn... This is seriously disturbing because unwanted people kept appearing in front of my cam! Some important shots could have been better, if not for an idiot's head. Augh..........!!!
The SYF was a good show. I could have enjoyed it more if not for the weather, the people who stood in front of my cam and the failure to get the top band of the year award. TK got it. We got the best drum major though. Oh man, he's really cool. The kids really did their best and my heart beats with them. Before the announcement of the results, I was so scared. I cheered loud for them while taking photos. Haha... imagine that. I recalled one of the colour guards told the rest of them on the bus to the stadium to put in their very best in the show. She said, "Losing is not the worst feeling. Regret is." Well said man. I was impressed and I totally agreed.
The kids cried at the end of the show. Mostly girls, but I saw watery eyes in the guys as well. You may say that the higher your hopes, the greater your disappointment. However, as long as you've put in your best, does it really matter if you win the competition? What is gained along the journey is more worthwhile. The trophy is just a one-time accomplishment. The perspiration, determination, team spirits and bond makes you an even better person. If you didn't try at all, then I pity you. If you didn't have any hopes at all, I pity you too.
In my eyes, DYSS display band is the best.
