@ 10:42 PM
haha. now den post on yesterday. =p yea. wat to expect? i couldnt sleep much. luckily to mp3 player i could still sleeep. but i woke up earli. den dad fetch me to j8 to buy brekfast. den to sem rm. was feeling sick leh. kena fever and bad flu. nearly couldnt even think properly... until worship! somehow, it empowered me again. WOOT! felt real good le! on the way on bus, was singing all kinds of songs! den i plugged in my mp3 to listen to FIREFLY again to pump me up for BQ. VROOM! reached there at 11am. briefing, usual stuff, den the paper. ok la, we were quite composed. the paper was like WTH! i filled in all e blanks of e prayer with ease, onli to see its MCQ. WTF! wat an insult of our mugging! GRRR. den like hardly any Esther qtns, den lots of cock la! GRRR!!! wth. basket... anyway, after finish le. outdoor. tt's when all e events and emotions began.
first station no prob. darn easy. in sch. WTH! XD den 2nd checkpoint. Semb mrt. this stupid ping pong ball thingy dat had NOTHING to do with bible quiz. couldnt solve it. 2pts gone! i was like "OMFG" fr tt time, although i was trying my best to encourage e team, deep down inside me i had this very bad feeling... this whole sinking feeling la. but i cant affect team spirit. so i continued. onli to navigate the wrong way. ARGH!!! wth! tho it din cause any damage at all coz we had lotsa time, i was like SHYT! den my dizziness fr fever acted up again... nearly fainted... bleah! until we reached 4th checkpoint, was realli bad. then finished everytihng den go back. tt time i had this whole sinking feeling. juz stumped there... all sorts of feelings came in... afterwards, the tiebreaker was announced. 60A was not in. i excused myself to the toilet after juz being totally stumped. juz staring into empty space. terrence came with me.
i broke down. was pissed, was angry, was feeling injustice, was feeling MAD! Y my team? y? we worked so freaking hard, always there, always present. half my team was ill but all came to push for the very best result! and wat. we din get in?! my team! felt real injustice... then terrence toked to me to sound me out. then it dawned upon me. it realli did. it din dawn last yr, but it dawned this yr. it realli realli dawned. God realli has lessons for us watever it means. this yr, my team had put in all their best effort. i knew it. but i was so task-driven that i always always doubted their results. now i realli knew. its just how its meant to be. my team is argueably the most enthu and the most driven team. they rock!!! and thru all these, i've realli sharpened my leadership abilities. i've realli learnt from Nehemiah about caring for every person even as there's a big task to complete. and to lead, muz lead by example. if u want ur team to be motivated, u urself have to be motivated. there were lots of lessons learnt, and it could onli be learnt this way. so now i know that we will win when the time is ripe. of course, i was realli hoping 60th would win. we came in 3rd. VS won again. a few more droplets were inevitable, but yea. i realli felt great le. so when the actual results were announced, i could realli be calm and able to cheer e team up. max broke down. jappy broke down. i duno who else did. i had to comfort max. its not easy for him to accept it. my whole team had high hopes. but yea, it wasnt met physically. looking at max, it was like how i was last yr... a junior's heart dashed. zach oso. i knew deep down he was upset... 3 times we've been competing together. always there for each other. wat can i say? darius. high fever the day b4. pushed himself to come. to contribute. ben. enthu guy. always on. wat can i say but i'm realli proud of S.TEAM! U GO GUYS! next yr BQ. SAME TEAM. SAME STEAM. WE GONNA ROCK THE HOUSE! WOOT! thanx jie, hil, vio etc for all ur encouragement! it mattered a lot as we perservered on!
then went back. listened to SHE with max. hope it cheered him up. :p then reached. we fall out. den all of us chiong to run with dr tan! all e ppl there jogging looked damn fast. but when we chionged the track, we realised they were damn slow. with exception to Dr Tan, lapping 1min per 400m! ppl wanted to catch up but couldnt. we juz raided e track. WITH SPIRIT. Mrs. Lim commentated "wat's tat? Scouts?" "BOYS BRIGADE LA!!!' replied. i ran total 8 rounds. blasted firefly the whole time! damn shiok! whee! xm smsed me "i overtook u!" 1 moment later, "hi xm!" den run off. XD but i muz say Dr Tan is very inspiring. followed by BQ, his run seemed to hv a great impact. i could parallel e run to BQ. perservering, never stop, continue. his achievement realli is one we shd all look up to. realli remarkable. =p
then went to play bball. they. i was talking to nic cai and catching up with him. he rox la. he coming back to help, our potential new captain (who is real nice oso), and our current officers: Mr. Gan, Ms. Tang, Ms. Yong. PPL BETTA WATCH OUT FOR 60TH MAN. WE GONNA ROCK YOUR ARSE. RIBBROX!
