It was a thrilling day. Everyone was confident, nervous, encouraging, determined, focus... we had everything. We played our best. We shared smiles over well-played parts and tears over our mistakes. All of us expected a Gold or a Silver. But we were rewarded with a bronze. Not a mere bronze. It was not mere at all.
'Bronze'. One word. Just one word and all of us were silenced. Our eager, waiting, happy faces dissipated. The quietness was so deafening, like a humungous thunder of boom. It struck down on our hearts, splitting it viciously. Then, the crying came.
Why did we get a Bronze? Why?
Those were the words I kept sputtering as I cried. It was horrifying. Jocelyn was even more horrified at my outburst. My last SYF ever in BHSS Band, with Mr Darrence Leng. A bronze. Jocelyn and I were fantasizing about a Gold. We thought if we could achieve it, Ms Chamb would finally get the band to go overseas for exchange, and everyone would look up to band and acknowledge the CCA just for once. Our first overseas as a band, our glory for recognition... all gone. We slaved and slaved and lost hours of sleep for the sake of attending and doing our best in band practices. Was it all for naught?
But Mr Ow thought otherwise. We attended SYF as a band, as a family. We worked together, encouraged each other and offered advice, hugs and handshakes. We cried together and passed around tissues to absorb the tears. We consoled each other and exchanged lots of helpful, curing hugs. We were indeed a family, even though some of us may rub others the wrong way.
We did our best. We focused, listened, delivered and hoped.
We've already gotten the Gold with Honours since January. We've gotten it, despite what the result says.

My Interests
I take a lot of interest in the arts and sciences. You can say that I'm a geek, or something like that. I take a huge interest in learning the arts, literature, nature, photography, biology, physics, chemistry, etc.
I also love reading, especially books ranging in the classics, fantasy, thriller, crime-buster, in-popular-demand or highly-recommended category. I also browse through educational magazines once in a while.
I LOVE English Literature. I love Science too, but not as much. There's just so much to know in both categories, it's like a never-ending mystery. I don't really know how to describe how exactly it is wonderful. I just find it so, SO awesome.
I like to look at beautiful things, and that's where art comes in. I like looking at designs on anything, absolutely anything. Furniture, nature, sceneries, stamps, stickers, note books, prints, cakes, food, wood crafts, pottery, paintings, drawings, words, etc.
I enjoy good music, vocal and instrumental. My preference to the genres of music depends on my mood. It changes from time to time.
I love food. Chinese, western, Indian, Malay, you name it. I'm not really cut out to be a cook, but I love cooking all the same, especially baking.
I like active sports too. Jogging, taking walks and sprinting is not really my thing, unless I feel like it, which comes only once in a blue moon. I prefer playing friendly sports like basketball, soccer, badminton, volley and tennis. I love water sports too, like swimming and scuba-diving, although I seldom get the opportunity to do so.
I also love going out and hanging out with my family friends. Sometimes, I prefer going out alone. I usually hang out at the library or some book stores when I go out alone, maybe because I like quiet, peaceful places to do my stuff. When I'm with my friends, we'd be at the cinemas, or mini-food bars,restaurants, fast-food outlets, or neo-print booths. We can be just about anywhere and everywhere! Just being with them brings out my out-going side.
Whenever I go out with my family, its either for meals or bookstores or errands. I always look forward to such trips. Mainly because all of us are a funny bunch. We say and do stupid stuff so naturally, I always enjoy listening to the laughter and small comments that follows. It's like we're all playing out a sitcom family film.
Oh, oh! And I LOVE animals! Dogs, cats, elephants, horses, rabbits, hamsters, birds, bears, penguins, cubs, fawns, etc. I always find myself reading deeply into how a certain specie of animals lives in magazines such as "Discovery Box", "Current Science" and "National Geographic".
Another thing I like is fashion. It depends on my mood when it comes to shopping but I love looking at clothes and accessories. I don't really like earrings and necklaces. Whenever I see people wearing earrings and necklaces, I can't help but think it makes them look slightly unattractive.
About Me
People say I can be really blur and clueless. I don’t know. I don’t really know myself much. I play the sweet, mild flute in Military Band. I'm usually with my old friends; Cai Yue, Cai Long, Arisa, Hana, Chee Wai, Jun Jie, Wei Jie, Anna, Wei Ting, Ha Lin, Say Kiat and Lindy. I sometimes hang out with my BHSS buddies; Muhtadin, Buvana, Jocelyn, Xin Rong, Roselyn, Jing Xian, Nigel, Peggy, Maple, Tam, Wen Yuan and Stephanie. Those names in bold are the ones I’m closest with overall.
