NOBEL(:

hahahaha.
wow man.

seriously didnt know i'd feel so elated and lifted when our house won the cross country and mascot events!

really feels so surreal (:

yesterday was cross country/2.4km beach run. so we all had to run 2.4km, and if you're in top 10 i think your house gains points accordingly. not sure if top 10 really helps, but top 5 confirm will contribute points (: and so we compete in lvls. starting from yr 6 guys, then yr 6 girls and so on.

glad i ran with yunzhi! i think if i didnt i might have been more complacent :/ but thanks a lot (: so ended up in 9th position for my lvl! o well, when i heard from mikel that top 10 gives points i was really thankful(: at least that could give my house a few points! haha.

anyway the mascot performance was amazing. not amazing in the sense that it was amazingly beautiful. it went pretty well, though we didnt find a drum to throw to aaron and so on. but it was amazing, that feeling when all our efforts come to this final point and we just had so much fun doing what we did.

like every hit on the drum by the drummers, we knew it was from fun and joy performing with our teammates. and i was scared before i sang. but i talked to God and His strength will flow through my voice. and i just felt..free to perform. and i never acted so ra-ra-ish infront of the school haha, not even when i was performing for bands. but i was a little siao, jumping around and trying to clap my hands.

i guess during pracs i was so free to be so hyped up. i mean no one said anything that would hold me back. for that, im so thankful. im not restricted by pointless remarks and in our group, i just need to perform according to how i feel. maybe the team helped scrape off some of my self-consciousness (: thank you

the past week plus has been dam awesome. i didnt know it would take so much time. i was like perpertually tired. school then do mascot til late in the night, intern then come back to school to practise. there were quite alot of such days. and even though i expected myself to say 'oh crap go home so late again' but couldnt feel that. felt like it was such a gift, a joy, to be able to do all these. and always got to talk to people while doing it all, like nat, mayfong, mikel and so on. definitely it all brought us closer. sometimes people ask 'why are the seniors doing it and not the younger ones?' dont think we were selfless, but we were selfish in the sense that we WANT TO DO IT. because we gained so much.

prob never thought we had a good performance, mascot right from the start. like when we were making the paper mache, i was like 'what are we doing???' but sometimes when people just stick through, and spill their ideas, it will happen. like what nat said, every part of the dragon and performance has a story. LOL

really cool how we had random ideas (alot of interesting ones) and we just spill it all out. it'll even take walks around the school at 9pm to find some inspiration. it was just so peaceful, and nothing was distracting.

was on my dad's bike heading towards east coast park when i was just like, talking to God. prayed that it wouldnt rain, because that day was the right timing. and i felt like whatever stamina i used to have kinda degenerated. but this feeling of being so blessed was instilled in me and whatever horsepower i need, it'll be from Him. i dont think i need to be in first position to know He helped me. at whatever position i was, i was really joyous. to be able to run this race without music pumping me, but with Him.

WOOOOO!
went out with revolution after nat, mayfong n me ate lunch at clementi. like an impromptu gathering with the band haha! and the whole day i was fueled by this joy. cant believe nobel did it. cant believe the feeling's dominating. great job to all people who ran like crazy(:

im missing it all already.
