Dear Blog,

It was a beautiful friday morning. But who could tell? It was pitch black wherever you look. On instinct you blink a few times just to make sure you've made it to school compounds and did not ended up in Thailand again. A few more times and you ve got the basic outline of the torturous classrooms and the most important area of the day, the school field. Glance down at Mr.Ducky which has faithfully served as my clock for almost 2 years now. 6AM. Marchers are scattered all over. Even without sight, you know who s commanding by now. We did after all have been listening to their melodic voices for the entire week. But i've got my own problems to deal with and shredded the dream of being sam pat. Deep breathe..

An empty 5mX5m tent stood before me. Being neighbours with yellow house and blue house isnt what i picture as "tempat strategik". Miu Yinn sighed and instantly i knew what was coming."We should get an A for effort...if we dont get a placing this year, i'm going to cry" My mind finishing off the sentence with her.

The process of decorating was crucial. In case there's kids present i wont say how'd it went xp But i assure you, unkind words were said. And finally, the results...

Red House

Yellow House (Ru Hui)

Purple House (Janie Tan)

Blue House (Jin Chuen)

Green House :) (yours truly)

After the judges have come and gone. We ve waited for the entire sports day to come to an end before the results are read out loud. Me, miu and the green house marchers just held hands. Knowing we did our best, and whatever comes next we ll deal with it. However I cant help it but pray silently that the best was enough. The long painting hours and crappy art work was almost behind us, tears started pricking my eyes. It wasnt until Nabilah told me to chill and thats when it all started spewing out.

Third place..Hang Jebat

Second place...Hang Lekir

First Place.......
