Comp.
Comp was yesterday. dint really go very well, but we still had fun:)
In the morning i left class during recess. i went to find etinne and we both went to grab simone from the class. Then three of us went to the foyer. then we waited for the rest. Karen came and said her teacher almost didnt let her go. lucky for me it was recess:D then shirlyn came with a bag of chocolates from heng yeng. yay!:) When the bus was here, we went on and went to henry park.
At henry park, me simone and etinne and shirlyn and karen changed into our training leotards and then teo said changed into comp leotard. -.- then we went into the storeroom and scared bao yi who was inside changing. apparently we all didnt hear that she was inside... then we all got changed and warmed up and started jumping. my jumping was quite fine. then etinne needed to sew on her number tag again because it fell out. actually the thread broke so it bursted. shirlyn's one too. then simone was helping her sew. shirlyn was scared that simone poke her back with the needle, so she stuck ann's copy of tribune behind her back in her leotard so the needle poked the tribune. and shirlyn's sweat made the tribune cover all wrinkly and it had a nice pattern.. haha... mel helped etinne sew on the number tag and etinne trusts mel:) teo helped to adjust kelly's fiona's and ann's number tags.
then with the hair tying. kelly gelled my hair like anything and sprayed until it was so hard. she tried to slip my fringe back without and hairs sticking out so there was a lot of gel. and tied so high. then i tried to jump with my new hair and haha, my hair kept whacking my face when i jumped so it hurts. had to adjust and re-tie, which wasnt so fun. and i looked weird with my fringe. simone looked super neat:D etinne's hair too. and karens and shirlyns. and ann for once in this year tied her hair HIGH. then after all the fussing about hair, teo say we have to go already so we have to go get lunch and get to ccab by 12pm. we ate and reached there at 11.30.. me and etinne and gillian and fiona took mel's dad's car. in the car me and etinne were discussing about claire's present. we were wondering where we can get a big big bottle of green tea. and heh mel was drinking green tea then. etinne said we should get a green coloured 't' to get GREEN T. hahaha..
then at ccab, we got ourselves ready and stretched and do the last minute preperation of comp souvenirs. ann and simone and karen and shirlyn then arrived. they took cab. i suspected that they were doing something for my birthday on the cab. turns out that im right. you'll find out what later. then we stretched and talk and feel sian/excited/freaked. then THE SUPPORTERS ARE HERE. AHH. i especially didnt want to be seen by supporters. then at around 12.30 the comp finally started.
we went up to the tramp and we had our three minuted warm up. it was kind of scary cos we are starting the real thing a few minutes away. i saw ann and some other people videoing... then the ding ding ding the bell and warm up time is OVER... then yay im starting first. im the first of the first school of the first division!! first of the first of the first! i did quite a satisfying routine. i know that cos i saw the video. then karen did really well. gillian travelled abit after front pike. simone fell after backdrop but i wasnt a bad fall. quite a glam fall, i must say. straight legs and she fell forward and supported with her hands and she came up and continued doing her front pike:) and then shirlyn was freaking out. but she did a good routine too.
then the scores come out.. bleh. i got 6.1. over 8. thats so not nice. and gillian and karen tied 7.05. cant remember the rest.
i did a self-satisfying routine and got a not satisfying score. well, i guess thats the way it is, being the first. i got the bench mark. argh. not funn. hrump.
and then after our school got many schools, wasnt watching cos i was still doing last minute souvenirs. and i got lots of comp souvenirs and letters too. then jess came!!! she didnt notice me until i pulled her leg:D oh i forgot to say paul came too. she competed later:)
then very long later its b-div!!! our team did really well. fiona got 8.0 over 9.0. we thought she'll get individual 1st until 3 nanyang girls beat her. mel i think got 7.9. then the rest of the score is 7.9 7.8 7.35. i think. cant rememeber. but anyway its good:)
oh i forgot to add that when the b-div were having their 3 minutes warm up, the people forgot to stop time so they had extra time. i saw the timer getting beaten by her friends after that:D
after very long later its a-div! Paul was the reserve but someone got injured so she competed:) i dunno whether the person real injured or was it part of their plan.. they were talking about how to get paul to compete before that. paul was really good. and very funny too:D after her routine she posed in every direction and gave a fancy bow to the audience:D
after that its prize giving! c-div got 5th:( we lost to whitley by 0.3 points, so we could have gotten 4th:( but b-div got 2nd!!!:)) ann was feelign guilty because she didnt compete but got a medal:Dthen we had raffles cheers but RJC and RI cheered so fast and we got lost halfway through unite.. and then we cheered outside in the corridor later to ourselves. rare cheer. and then we walked to mc donalds.
turns out that mc at serene plaza( or is it centre?) was full. so we took a bus to so other mc donalds. then we celebrated and then some group of ppl at mc had a dare and they had to cheer for us to get $10. it was damn funny. then simone and karen and i went down stairs to the cold storage to ge the green tea. and we some hwo smuggled it back into mc. then we cut a greeen 't' out of the cold storage plastic bag. the green parts. and then we cut out green and white strips out of the plastic bag to tie around the bottle. then we stuck the 't' in the middle of the top half of the bottle. then yay i was leaning on it at a weird angle to hide it. then when everyone was ready we went to crowd around claire to sing happy birthday. after singing, we took out the giant botle of green tea and gave it to claire. when she saw it she almost fainted. hahaha!!! then she said 'hey yinxin its your birthday too!!' and then everyone sang happy birthday to me and then ann took out a bundle of present and gave it to me.. its my present wraped in newspaper and RAFFIA STRING... and i had to untangle everything and it took a long time.. then whe i opened i found alot of random presents:)) a ball from etinne and shirlyn, a bag of sweets from karen, a bag of 7 tolberones from bernice (trying to say im 7???) simone gave me cat thing meant for supporting my wrist when holding the mouse. the best present was from ann:))) a TRANSPARENT HANDPHONE POUCH!!!!yayayay!!! ann had SEWN it for me:)) she took measurements from teo's phone, bernice's phone, and mel's phone because their phone is same size as mine.. yayaya i love ann:) (ann,dun feel disgusted or what.)
turns out that they wrapped my present in the taxi.. no wonder they didnt want me to go with them and saying excuses like SHIRLYN NEEDS HELP WITH HER MATH HOMEWORK SO SIMONE IS GOING TO HELP HER. (yeah right...) then i had to keep the raffia string.. THANKS YISHAN FOR HELPING ME KEEP THE RAFFIA STRING:))) then i loooked at my birthday cards. karen made a really good attempt at drawing spongebob. it was great:) ann's card was damn cool. i dunno how she made the words pop up on the aluminum foil card, she probably wrote backwards.
then we took pictures. we had matching number tags this year, b-div and c-div. i got 19, same as mel:) so we took our pictures together:)
after all this we finally went home at 8+. i went home with yishan and ann. reached home at 9+. bathe finish at 10. dunnid do homework liao.
ohh, yishan, ann, my light stick is still shinning:DDD
