Friday, October 28 today was disappointing alright. when the results were announced, and 209 wasn't announced. i think all of us were really heartbroken. we were all tgt at the canteen, and some of us were crying. then we went back to class. sat in a circle. arathi talked, then i did. then mr halsall came in and talk to us abt our performance. told us that we overshot time limit which was why we didnt make it (mon oei!). then naomi came in and hugged me(thanks dear). then right there and then i decided that this was the perfect moment to show the class video. though it was incomplete. lucky rachel brought the disc. and we watched, and we laughed tgt. great feeling, all the memories frm our two yrs. great.
when we were talking and crying in the circle 208 came and yelled "WELL DONE 209!" and then halfway through the movie, i got called out of class. and some 211ners were there. holding this cork board that said "You're still our winners!" i took it frm them, and hugged every single one of them. even the ppl that i didnt know personally but only knew by sight. right there and then, it didnt matter anymore. the bond is all that matters.
so it's over like this. just like this. our dreams of being in the finals are shattered. all becuase of the decision of ONE person, whose decision overrides the other THEE judges. well, we get the chance to perform during the intermission when the judges choose the winner. so basically our job is to entertain the audience. and entertain the audience we will do.
okay...on drama nite. we will rock the stage no matter what! we perform for ourselves, for the audience. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE US EXCEPT THE AUDIENCE & OURSELVES. we will "make the judges regret their decision" (as quoted by mr halsall)
as 209ners, we know ourselves. everyone saw the spirit that we had before our performance. they also saw the passion and resilience that we had tgt as a class even after the results. everyone saw how well we did. many said we pwned it. many said 209 rocked. many thought we would get in. even the sec 1s knew. just seeing the reaction of fellow school mates, their indignance for the whole unfairness, their support for us. i think as 209, that's all we can ever ask for. this is a disappointment that we face. but the impt thing is we face this tgt as a class.
once again i wanna say thanks to 211 and 208. Your cheers were unexpected, your support appreciated. If you need any favours, the brudders will always be here. Your sincerity and support is a sure sign of how both classes are great, made up of great ppl. sure sign that the bonds of friendships are there and how 211 and 208 embraced it. hope that this experience will make the bonds between the classes stronger.
thank you to those who have helped me, supported me, encourage me, whom i will not name for several reasons.
lastly, thank you two oh niners, for without you, this journey would never have been possible. cheer up all of you and practice practice practice 209% to make that night perfect. cheer up!
btw congrats to 204, 207, 212, 213. jiayou for the final night! and elynn, dont feel guilty please. there's no reason for you to.
