6.00am was the first wake up call first started by our dear Vice-Captain, Farhana.
thankfully she called becoz for some reason, i didnt hear my alarm ring or issit just tt i off-ed the alarm when it rang and went bak to sleep, forgetting wad i did the nxt moment i woke up ? -.-
anywaysss, left for Canberra Sec and reached there at abt 6.45am.
shortly after tt Rong Hua came, then ShiQi, and then some uncle followed by another uncle hu drove in wif his white car and opened the sch gate.
we had 2 more practices b4 we set off for HTA.
reached HTA at abt 8.50am.
everyone was pretty nervous BUT determined to do their best.
registered ourselves, went to the holding area, prayed, got briefed, clarified our doubts and off we went to the place where we wld pitch up everything tt we had worked hard for.
1st short horn blast was blown.
All Captains went into the pitching boundary and checked for any fault in the logistics.
and then, it was time.
everyone got rdy as they prepared their watches and got themselves mentally prepared.
"BEEP..!" (or wadeva sound it makes -.-) went the horn!
this was the time.
everything tt we had sacrificed, all the sweat, pain and blood tt we shed, came down to this very moment.
it was our last shot.
everyone rushed in and started doing wad they were supposed to do.
"Canberra On bo?!" i shouted.
no response. everyone was too concentrated in setting up the things.
then again,"Canberra on bo?!!!!" finally a response came, "On ahh!!"
"on bo?!" "on ah!!!"
we started pegging and tying wif all our might.
5 mins past and the bashaar and gadget were alreadi halfway done.
"giv everything till u have nth...", shouted ShiQi "LEFT!"screamed the girls."giv everything till u have nth?!" "LEFT!!"
finally flagstaff was up but there was a little problem though.
the flag was not able to be raised up due to unforseen circumstances. lols.
but Frances, our heroine of the day, managed to get the flag up. weee~
everything was goin well.
10 mins and everything was up.
did our usual housekeeping and the long horn blast was blown.
everyone left the pitch immediately and fall-ed in.
other schs were standing emotionlessly, while we Canberrans were screaming for joy.
we noe we had done our best and this was the best tt we gave.
judgement soon arrived.
our SPOKESMAN/LADY: Farhana and LiHong
we sat under the scorching hot sun as the judges judged everything tt we did.
all of us held hands, and hoped tt nth wld go wrong.
judging was done, out of the pitching area, gave our dear Hanisah a big BIG grp hug and out of HTA via bus.
we left the place, grinning frm ear to ear.(especially Hanisah)
many laughters of joy and squeaks of delight were heard.
we were all... satisfied. :D
mr latiff was waiting for us at the foyer as we alighted the bus.
he was also smiling non-stop. man onli God noes how long had he been smiling ever since he heard the news.
we talked abt our experience and had a little laughter here and there b4 we left for home.
however, these joyful moments had its limitations.
ltr in the afternoon, the results were announced.
we didnt...get the position we all hoped for.
when i first heard the news, my heart literally sank. >.>
but well, at least we left HTA wif no regrets.
tt was our main aim ya?
and we had alreadi achieved tt (:
my prayer had been answered hahas.
i did not deserve anything in the first place.
to have achievements after this whole experience,to actually gain something, is already a great blessing frm God.
To all those involved in UCC:
I noe the news is hard to take in. even i was bz emo-ing in my room and staring at the sky lmao. Do not be disheartened ya? its not abt the position tt we shld be caring abt. we gave it our all , and tts wad realli matters.
Love u guys for all the effort tt everyone of u gave, for all the passion every single one of u had.
These memories and deeds will nv be forgotten (:
Go Canberra! ;D
