Today is the Marching Competition. My team & I were nervous!!! :S I was afraid that I would make a fool of myself and my team (since I'm the Commander). We practiced several times to prepare ourselves. A few funny moments happened during the practice XD For example, I told them not to eat nor drink any sour food but one didn't listen. As we were practicing, when I said, "Pasukan. Ke kanan, pusing!", she turned and dashed to the toilet. All of us laughed. We then continued and sometimes I got my commands mixed up :S
After the warming up session, a girl called out for me asking me to go to the Grand Stand to pick our turn for the upcoming competition. I was worried if I pick number 1 as I don't really know what to expect and the procedure on how to report our team once we're competing. Luckily *relieved* I picked number 7 which is the last number. Lucky number seven XP
I watched tentatively as the Commander of other teams report their themselves to the judges. Hmm...I called out for "Imitation Time!" XD
Finally, its our team's turn. I gave a command and walking synchronizely, we went to the judging section. I guessed everyone gave their best shot and a few times, the crowd applaused our routine and performance *clap, clap* We did a Horse Shoe routine. The crowd loved it :D I must admit some team members did a few mistakes but I guessed we're saved by the nice routine.
I don't expect much from our performance to get first, second or third place since this is the first year and the first time the Girl Guide ever compete in the Marching Competition (I'm their first Commander *grin*). But I do believe we probably get forth or fifth place. Not the seventh of course. Our teacher said some teams did pretty bad in the competition compared to ours.
I still can't believe I pulled it through. The commands were a bit difficult to remember but nontheless I memorised it and gave prefect commands during the competition *proud* (...its something to brag about). ^^
I had fun and so did my team. Oh yeah, I'm the eldest member in my troop. I'm a Sixth Former while the rest consist of Form 2 and Form 3 students. They're easy to manage and I'm very proud of them. Great work, guys :)
This is truly something I would remember for the rest of my life. I don't regret at all going for Form 6.
The teacher in charge of the Girl Guide informed me later that they're going to search for my successor for next year. Gotta get ready to write my will I presume XD
Part from the happiness, there was sadness as well. Someone broke my blue bottle T_T He broke it and ranaway. Its like a hit and run situation >:( I chased and comfronted him. Instead of apologizing, he gave me lame excuses. I gave him two choices, whether to apologize or pay me back. He apologized and I guessed my anger cooled off and let him go.
So, I'm in need of a new bottle.
p/s: Since I don't have any camera with me, I can't take any photos as a memoir for today:(
