Tears and Joy

I got through my last cross-country as a purple house member yesterday and I lived! I really thought I was going to faint halfway through the race. I didn't manage to get a point for my house but I am thankful I finished it. I was so determined to get top 30 but knowing well enough I won't because of my lack of exercise and my non-existence stamina. Nonetheless I jogged for the first 2km and got really tired when I was entering my 3rd km so I decided to slow down and walk and occasionally jog when I have strength. When I was nearing the finishing line, they said my class had a few more seconds left, so I sprinted forward but to my disappointment, my time was up. Germaine greeted me with a smile because she got into the top 30 and we walked to the CF room together.

I felt like a failure then.
How could I not even get 1 point for purple house? I though to myself. Sheesh and it's already my last year. Germaine however replied "Maybe sports is not your thing. You have a talent for singing not like me." [rephrased]
At that moment, I was thinking to myself, yeah maybe that's true. Then, I laid down on the floor of the CF room with my bag as a pillow and slept. I was exhausted and totally drained and my sore throat from the night before was getting worse and to add to that, I was feeling sick and cold even though I was still sweating. I stayed on the floor for 30minutes when other CF members shuffled in and out of the room.

Finally at about 11am, it was time to gather all students of Catholic High School together and announce the results. All the members of every house were so hyped up, as always. I wanted to cheer but my sore throat was already bad enough so I decided against it but I participated in the wave which didn't require me to speak at all.

Purple house won again this year. I told Shu Min early that morning that purple was going to win again this year but she was so stubborn and I told Wai Leem that we'll say it feels like a deja vu when it's announced that we won. When it was all over, the first thing I did was run to Shu Min and said "It really does feel like a deja vu, don't you think?" I got whacked for saying that. Haha. Sorry girl, maybe our house really stole all the talented runners.

I know a few of  you guys got disqualified, which I shall not mention who but don't be too sad about it, I still love you guys *big hugs*

I feel sick when I got home. Felt too terrible to eat but I was starving so I had some porridge and visited the doctor who in return gave me some medicine for me to take. Had a 45 minutes nap and felt much better after that.

Then, had to get ready for dinner that nigh! Let's let the pictures to do the talking, shall we? (:

Emcees for the day, Jaykerr and Rachel. I think you guys did an awesome job

First performance was Jaykerr, he and his Gu Zhen. I didn't know you were that good! Brilliant

Next up was Zhuo Zhi and Rushan, popping. I bet they practised when they were skipping classes in QM room. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone.

Then Jocelyn played and sang Bad Romance. AH JOCELYN! How sexy. I think if I was a guy I would have fallen for you, honest. It's your time to SHINE. Sounds bit familiar doesn't it, girl? Haha.

Invited Mr. Michael, our form teacher whom in the beginning initiated this whole dinner to give a speech.

Toasting because it's a Chinese tradition. Hm. Ok.

Germaine with Daryl.

Jaykerr, Zhuo Zhi and Rushan. Haha. Why were we all looking away?

Our ex-classmate who came back specially for the dinner.

Primary school friend till now! Time flies!

Prizes to be given out.

DSLR wannabe.

JoFan, this is for you. We cam-whored with MY DSLR.

Mr. Michael and family. With 2 out of place classmates.

Since Leslie was saying he felt like a gentleman that night, let's see what a "gentleman" he was at the table while eating.

Leslie and his usual "hehehe". It was hilarious sitting beside him during dinner.

Celebrated Kit Yeng's birthday. A day later than her original.

Her cake.

With the girls. Yee Teng & Joanne, where were you guys?

Jocelyn's.

Everyone dressed up that night and were all looking pretty and handsome. Some even wore a dress *ahem*and actually took the initiative to look more, dare I say, feminine *winks* you know who you are. Also, few of the guys actually looked smart in shirt. Didn't know our guys knew how to look good too. Although I had to leave early, I enjoyed myself and had an awesome time together with you all.

p/s- some of the pictures above were taken by Zebra. Thanks but most of them can't be used because they were either underexposed or overexposed! Anyhow, thank you nonetheless.

I still have some pictures to be put up. Some other day perhaps. Enjoy! If you need any of the pictures above, let me know.

Love,
Laine.
