5, 6, 7, 8, AWESOME!
Okay. so school starts today. and i'm now in my hall room typing this post. well, ever since Scamp, it has been so happening. with RAG and YOG.
YOG is like nearing. it's this saturday. there's a preview tomorrow! and i'm looking forward to it? i'm glad i joined with regina and shiqi. got to know a lot of dancer friends and i had fun although i kind of burned myself out with joining rag at the same time. but oh wells. everything has to be fought hard for, worked hard for.
then there was O School recital auditions. yeah i didn't get in, but oh wells, i know i'm not good enough. and this kind of proved it. I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH. what can i do? practise more and try to get in next year. meanwhile, i shall be happy with school and raggers and hall and stuff.
Rag was. well, awesome. i went in not knowing what to expect, i went in alone just as i had done so for Scamp, not knowing how i can mingle with the people because i would be going in late. i went in with YOG already on my shoulders. i still remembered when i tried cheerleading, and how scared i was. and then there was twin - baohui :) realised that we really had a lot in common, and we grew close so quickly. i remembered the time when i first cried, because i was too scared to do the bear hug for the animal dance, plus all the stress from yog and rag piling up on me. rough times yeah. and when haresh condemned us, that was my worst cry ever. i felt we all did not deserve it, i felt wrongly accused? i just didn't feel good and i was fuming mad. i ever wondered why i still chose to stay in rag. but now it's another story. and our first run with the float, everybody praised it. my bruises, and the huge one i still have because i fell down on the stage during yog. i couldn't walk properly for 2 days, but i still had to dance. when we did run after run and one by one people got injured or fell sick. when the cheerleaders could finally do the wall, the happiness we had. when i first stayed over. when we tried out our costumes.. and then the day came.
we woke up early, changed, made our hair, make-up, and then STATIC. when our fellow raggers were sweating it out trying hard to portray their feelings but not moving in the scorching sun, we were there supporting them, wanting to endure through it with them. when after that we could only do a dance run and a stunt run and off we go to the holding area. when we were the last and waited so long to perform. when we thought we were last but due to some problems we were second last and had to rush like mad. when the float and the side props and the dance mat was all down and the music starts. when stacy popped out of the cocoon. when the animals did their couple dance. when the fire dancers appeared. when the water dancers slid down the slide. when the stunts went up one by one. when we saw the wall go up nicely. when all our feelings were put in to the last acting part such that i almost cried, when all of us came in to do the finale. when we finally got to the ending pose. it was not a sigh of relief, but a tinge of happiness, and nostalgia that we will not be doing it again. when we got back to the holding area and the cheerleaders started theirs stunts. with all the photos. with the "5678 awesome". then it was announcement of results. when we keep hearing our faculty being called. when we won best presentation and best rag performance. when we could not keep the tears in anymore. when finally the chancellor shield came back to us. when we did the Trilogy cheer with so much pride. it was one of the best experience i ever had. and now i can say i don't regret joining RAG because it has made us raggers a united bunch of people, sticking together for lectures and everything now, gathering at the pink tables in science canteen. like what twin said to me, it will be worth it. and i agree :) my tears didn't fall for nothing, i didn fall sick for nothing and i didn't get injured for nothing.
SCIENCE RAG 2010, 6 August. When the Chancellor Shield came back to Science. I will remember it forever.
