♥ Thursday, April 19, 2007
Like all the other posts about the honours today, I'm going to say the same thing.
We. Did. It.
Raffles guitar ensemble, w.e d.i.d i.t.
We earned our honours.
We earned Ms Khoo's praise.
We earned a reputation.
We earned what we deserved to after months of hard work and hell practices.
We earned our honours.
The moment I woke up this morning I felt so excited there wasn't a minute I could sleep some more, so I woke up and washed my hair and practiced once and I left for school telling myself that my ensemble can do it. I told myself that Chocolate could do it, and Mocha and Latte and Cappucino, and rgge can all do it.
We can do it together. For all their efforts the seniors have put in, for all the time and practices together sitting there and playing as an ensemble, for always being late for coming back from breaks, for working extra hard and extra practices, we finally, finally did it.
And the taste of victory feels extra good. I can't describe to you how happy I was; my excitement hasn't worn off, though. I don't think it ever will, and I know that I'll remember this day as we cheered and screamed and squealed and jumped and pranced about, hugging each other, crying for joy and for all the hard work we have put in and knowing that they have all been paid back. I won't forget april 19th 07, even two years down the road when i'm a senior and i stand in front of all the juniors telling them about my story.
Our story. The story that only rge can tell, the story that only as members of this shared committee we understand, and the feeling only us as givers of this love, for the instrument we love most and the music and the people, can understand and be touched deeply in our hearts because we know that the judges have reciprocated our love for the music that we play, for the music that comes out from the sound holes of our guitars and that the sweat and moulting was sacrificed satisfyingly.
I'm so excited I'm not even speaking coherently.
Shit!
I SHALL STOP WITH THE CALM AND COMPOSURE.
I'M JUST ELATED THAT WE HAVE OUR HONOURS AFTER SO MANY MONTHS OF HARD WORK AND I WANT TO TELL EVERYONE THAT MR CHUA IS THE BEST CONDUCTOR EVER AND THAT RGGE is my ultimate love.
Not forgetting, Chocolate, who has never, ever, let me down.
