It rained. extremely heavily and for very long.
Sports day wascancelled.
Cheerleaders efforts for today all gone into waste
wait, the organisers...
We waited and waited for rain to stop and then we waited and waited for someone to just say that we can leave.
I still dont feel as though I am in the mighty bougainvilla although I wear blue house tee. I still feel like a oleander, the memories filled with it. Now, an ex-oleander. I feel weird when I say the blue cheer.It felt so distant and strange.
Perhaps that I dont really get to experience the bougainvilla team cheering since sports day was cancelled.

Hi
Today was a hectic afternoon. My mum and I didnt realise that there was NDP rehearsal and Nicoll Highway was blocked! We were heading to suntec city for a Garden festival exhibit!
Wow, we were lost as that moment when there were many yellow sign boards saying that Nicole Highway was blocked from 1pm to 11pm! It was rather tense as we do not know how to get there with so many roads blocked and not sure whether we could even enter any carpark there too.
Signboards showing ' To suntec city go ECP' and ' to suntec city go to Republic rd via ophir rd' but where on earth were the stretches of roads?
We parked at the International SOS building and realised that the parking fee was $2.20 1 hr and 90 cents subsequent half an hour! It was so expensive. Thus, we asked a police officer by the roadside and ended paying $2.20 as we left the carpark and went to raffles city carpark instead!
just then, I then realised that we were driving for about 1h 30 mins with the huge traffic jam as roads were blocked like nobody business just for the NDP.
We ended up walking to suntec city outside and saw many floats, military tanks and marching soldiers right before my eyes. We could randomly walked across roads like grandfather road since the roads were blocked. Many people flashed out their cameras and took pictures in middle of the road. So strange there were was suddenly a grp of soldiers marching out from the staircase of esplanade circle MRT. We just walked behind them and my mum flashed out her camera.
We finally arrived at the exhibit. My sis was angry as she came from school and waited for like 45 mins. It wasan amazing garden exhibit with so many interior or exterior garden designs by worldwide designers. It is like walking into a fantasy world with leaves and fairytale architectures. It was worth it!
I didnt really take much pictures as my HP camera colour has some problem.
Now, I finally came back. It was much better than the horror we had seen before, winding through roads hoping to reach the city. I also got to know how NICOLL HIGHWAY was so important!!! NDP rehearsal today, oh, I think it was preview as I saw P5 students wearing white and red at suntec.
Massive Traffic jam

GOLD WITH HONOURS
I am really really happy. I screamed my lungs out when I heard the results
It is really amazing how the persis nearly teared me but now brought to a bigger success. How ironic. I hate it yet we got GOLD for it.
On Saturday was the band competition. Everyone was really nervous and I got many letters of encouragement from my band members. We practiced a little and was time to go to the Singapore Conference Hall for our competition at 12.
In the bus, I heard that our results were on NTRIX. I was stumped and could not wait to know of my results. Chloe had a phone and wanted to check hers but everyone decided not to check for the risk of affecting our emotions for the competition ahead. We cheered CSB and arrived.
We arrived and waited quite fast the although it seemed long. I started to relieve my memories about the SYF rehearsal I had last year and we started humming MERRY WIDOW. But we were brought back to reality, so we told ourselves we must hum PERSIS instead. Ya, we did.
We saw many other bands there too. HC, ST N, TKG just to name a few.
We were performing for the 2nd division.
Then, I realised that MR O was the chairman of this NBC!
We went to the test room for warming up. Then it was time.
We walked onto the stage with a few hundreds eyes from other schools staring at us + the judges. The stand in front of us was tall and huge and we hard to share stand too. I must stretch my head like a giraffe a little to see her.
When triple S raised her hand, I was too stumped and did not start very well. I sounded like super airy and Alicia and I had to try alternatively play our parts perfectly. It was difficult as my lips was getting strained after every note I played.
During persis, it started off quite well. At the bar 98 which have a lot of high notes, I could not really reach it. Alicia helped me but I thought she was angry with me for not being able to reach it. I really did force like crazy.
It ended quite well but the whole song was rather rushing. Everyone, was upset and disappointed, thinking that it confirm would be silver again. It was not our best as the mistakes were avoidable. Our mood were so down.
We sat at the audience there and waited for the results. I heard from Si min that her friend from St. N said that it was nice. There was a slight hope of getting GOLD.
85 and + GOLD WITH HONOURS
80 and + GOLD
Below 80 SILVER
TKG-Gold
RF-Gold with Honours

HC-Gold
Cedar girls...
We held our hands together and bow our heads.
8..SCREAMSSSSSSSS................
5.?% GOLD SCREAMS........
with honest unheard*SCREAMS.........
Everyone was shocked to the core, A BAND GOLD WITH HONOURS FOR CEDAR! Our generation managed to keep up to the band standards!
This is one stepping stone for cedar Looks like either persis or double eagle saved us all!
We were at all SMILES.
Everyone remembered Si min saying that of we get GOLD we will go JAck place and eat. If we get GOLD WITH HONOURS, alicia would treat us.
Alicia was so shocked as we didnt expect to get GOLD WITH HONOURS.It was just a mere comment. HAHAs anyway, it was so expensive, and alicia would have not enough money to treat 9 of us.
It was a relieving moment for all of us. We did as well in 2nd division! Last and previous year was in 3rd division. WOOHOO.
Our senior said that our double eagle was the best. IS it true, with the mistakes I have caused? Maybe it was covered up by the others.
Although, it was not our best, but it sure motivates us to reach for bigger success. What if we did our best? Lets reserve it for the next SYF.
There will still be band practice on Mon. No break.
BYE=)
So ironic of how band can affect my emotions.

2 obstacles passed. O'level chinese and results. I dont want to talk anything about it.
i last obstacle to clear next week. NBC.
The atmosphere is so tense now and I dont know what is seriously going on with us. I understand that everything is done just for our sake but I dont understand what's wrong with us. Things got worse when everyone spilled out during that discussion. We just wanted to understand why but it got even tenser. What will happen next year during another major competition. I cant wait for time to fly but I also must practice hard to live up to 3s expectations.
This is random but I just have electric current passing through me. My mum touched my ear and felt a vibration and current through her hand.i felt a buzz sound too. How scary.
