Now everyone in band is like chocolate ppl.. when u saw them, deep down in our heart we know that we're the same family.. cool right?
Oh ya, wanna thank you wen yah for helping to tie my hair but after that sio sen tie french plaits for me. thank you Pinkie Susan!! she's like a jie jie to us.. And also Clement, get 5 'lao po's of his own in 2 weeks time. hahha.. 'be a man, clament!' thats wat cheng always say to him. do u realize CHENG YU SENG and CHENG YU HONG? one is our instructor respectable Cheng, another is Clement Cheng..sounds like brothers horr...
During practices, sometimes Cheng or Samuel very fierce de lor.. scare scare de. but then at last I found out they are not so scary as wat i used to think.. they have their friendly side de.. now i'm sure everyone miss Samuel says 'again! one more time!' this phrase leh..
you see, our band is like a family. "We are Family.... ta la ta la ta ta na na"
24th June 2006 - selangor's marching band competition
This very day.. a memorable day.. because every seafield band members had defeated themselves, and that is a very proud thing to do. well, eventhough we never win.. we've already tried our best. remember those days cheng & sam shout at us, scold us? those days we practice under hot sun which everyone is applying sunblock, taking umbrella? those days we study drills & scores? those days where we had many free foods? those days that many students & teachers enjoying our formation performance?
I'll never ever forget those memorable days!!
On 24th June 2006, I sleep at 1am. Before that I practice my flute frm 9 to 11, because i'm so nervous. I want to do my best. I woke up at 4.45am and reached sch at about 6.25am. I remember sam & teong eu busy remingding us not to forget important stuffs like gloves, hats, uniform.. After that, we went up to the bus. Everyone is encouraging each other.. chit chatting bout the competition. oh ya, not forgetting our band leng luis, they are so cute rite? because they tied 1 or 2 plaits..
When we reach Stadiun Selayang, Gombak, we saw many bands were already there. Everyone wan busy preparing. chs, mgs, assunta all there liao.. some even start practising behind the stadium. we went to the back to the stadium too, mr mah give some tips.. encouragaing us.. after that we went back to our sits. when the competition starts, we all sit nicely as sam says our behaviour will affect the marks..
1st sch to perform is kepong, 2nd is assunta, 3rd chs, 4th salahuddin,5th- kwang hua, 6th rm, 7th khs, and 8th 8th 8th--- that's us. SSB!
we went out n form few rows. preparing for our performance.. ok ok.. the moment is near. when they announce its our turn, my heart beat is so so so so so fast. we march till the centre of the padang and get ready. once marvin say '1,2,3,4' we start our formation. ' ti ta ti ta ti ta ti ta.. mamamia' and it continues..... and time pass really fast... without realizing, we finish our performances.. but i'm not satisfy.. i intersect wrong. the spacing was all out.. so sad.. walk back sadly..
after then, we need to walk back to the field there wait for our results. first is all those stupid crap ceramah.. boring till cai jin n eu meng pengsan.. den i very sad de.. thinking back just now.. my tears almost drip and i heard our supporters shouting. ' Its okay, its alright, come on seafield fight fight FIGHT!!!' so so touching.. thanks ryui binn..
Then results time leh.. i'm so nervous. keep using gloves to wipe my tears, my flu. When they announce harapan is salahuddin. Oh.. its not us. wth wth.. then i think maybe 3rd ler.. dun lose hope so fast. but then, 3rd is kwang hua. ok, kwang hua. nvm, perhaps we 2nd leh. But 2nd is CHS.. i start crying.. cry cry.. champion is STK.. cry.. sob sob sob..
So everyone push their hats lower.. head also going lower.. until marvin crying and command us to keluar baris. everyone start crying like hell.. u know why right? thinking back everyday our hard work.. one band, one skin colour. sam shout at us. always got free foods. now we never won.. i feel so paiseh cuz many ppl saw me cry.. some ask me dun cry.. some even offer hug hug.. so touching.. so lovable. that very moment, deep down in my heart I realized the HUGE BIG passion of mine for SSB.
beside us, those MGS looking at us crying.. their dm ask them who's not happy, and some of them raise their hands. kiki go around ask ppl dont cry but he's crying.. siew ying point to the sky and say 'there's our bright future! let's strive for next year!' we should right?
when i reach back home, told ppl my competition lose and the whole band cried. everyone say 'siao de, why lose only ma cry for wat?' but they don't understand,
eng : our band stand together, sit together
malay : berat sama dipikul, ringan sama dijinjing
chinese : you fu tong xiang, you nan tong dang
indian : ang ki na lang hobo cheh tuao
SO, now, we dont think bout it anymore. we strive kao kao for next year okay? take revenge back!
I cry on sat night and sun night.. wu liao horr.. now because of this competition, the bond between band members grows stronger.. and stronger.. and now, I miss band so much. wanna ponteng sch and go for band activities.. do u have the same feeling too? heehee...
