SYF : 16 April 2007

Hong Kah Millitary Band got Bronze for SYF 2007 which was held today. Athirah wasn't allowed to go because Mrs Bay say so. She got some eye infection going on and she came to school wearing a cool shade. She was so angry with Mrs Bay decision that she broke down into tears. Then Mrs Bay told us personally about the choice she and the people over there made. My eyes turned watery. Soon i was crying.

I'm not exactly sure why i cried though. Maybe because i put my myself in Athirah's shoes and i know i hurt so bad. Or maybe it's because i felt presurized. Whatever it is, Mrs Bay told us not to be affected by just one person and not to let Athirah down. We shouldn't blame her if we got bronze because she did not participate in the SYF. Later she msg us to bring back a silver or gold. I was fine until Izni mentioned to play this song for Athirah and Mrs Lock. I began crying yet again.


My eyes had turned red and I couldn't held back my tears until we were at the Singapore Conference Hall. However, as soon as we settled in the tuning room, tears began rolling down again because i told myself to play it for Athirah. Wad a Gundu. Anyway, i sucked it all in and focused on my playing because, my clarinet had gone cold. Cold to an extent that i find it hard to blow. Worse still my hands were cold. I wonder how come people like Shikin and Alfian could have very warm palms in a place i find it cold. Luclily for me, i had Tifin, Shikin an Pian to warm me and my clarinet up before we get on stage. However, all their efforts had gone to waste. My clarinet was as super cold as it was.

Oh No no, i wasn't nervous. I'm cold. On stage, Suaidah drop her mute. Which was a minor accident right? Anyway Alfian missed the first ride back to school, so i was sitting by myself. But it was ok because i need the space to sleep. gagaga. Back at school, most of us waited at the canteen together to hear the results from Fatin, Izni, Wati and Yanti, who was at the conference hall to know our results. Before that, Hidayat and me brought not only chocolate waffles back, but also Noraini. ok2 back to the results. Many of the sec 4s cried probably because they got a bronze for their 2nd SYF.

However, i had no reaction. I was neither sad nor happy. Probably because it was my first SYF, so the impact wasn't that hard on me. I think i'm going to sms Shikin now. She broke down terribly. I felt so bad for her. Well, we did the best we could on stage.


I'm Gonna miss you guys : 17 April 2007

The seniors step down today after 2 years and so. I told Shikin earlier that I'm going to cry when you guys leave and guess what? I did. It was very emotional for me. They bid a very grand goodbye that sent us all crying. With the Sea Song Suite(2nd movement) playing in the background, it was enough to touch our hearts. I was going to cry before we were told to stand and shut our eyes but i hang on til i couldn't. The song brings me back memories we had together with them. Soon, i was crying hard.

We opened our eyes and standing infront was our juniors while the Sec 4s were no where to be seen. I saw others, tearing up almost as bad as me and some, even worse. It felt as though someone had leave us. I wrote on my score of the 2nd movement, think of someone leaving you and i did felt it. Yanti wrote all of the clarinetist a letter. We did a group hug(clarinet) before we did our last drill together with them. I was still in tears because my mind was all about I'm gonna miss you guys.

When Jia Chun came forward to mark our attendance, my mind was telling me that i'm going to miss Jia Chun. Tears came rolling down. Then, it became worse when i told Shu Ying (beside me) that I'm going to miss her. My voice was shaky and i couldn't shout properly because i was crying. With my handkerchief in my hands, i wipe away my tears and blew my nose. It was hard for all of us. I could see Mardiana crying soo bad.

Before we left, i hug each and every of my seniors that i could see. For those whom i did not give a hug, here's a BIG HUG for u. I told Azizah that i'm going to be the next Librarian when i hug her and she smiled. I'm really gonna miss you guys. We've gone through thick and thin together, and all of them i'm going to cherish - wise words by Shikin
