Irony of SYF

Today was SYF 2005.... came in the morning and waited for like so long before it was open. Hmmm... things started off not so well lol... like reeds were lost mouthpiece dropped and everything. Then we went to SCH after running thru once. At SCH, we waited and chatted at the lobby before goin to the tuning room. I saw yurong and wei ling in the PJ band.
Coming into the hall the ac ppl were calling me, but haiz... stupid presentation marks, cannot look at crowd. After we got on, sat down and played. I think we held back quite alot. But lucky for us, the judges prefered softer bands this year :p. We didn't watch Mr Ho that much so yea... some parts really lol we finished before his downbeat came.
After performance went back to NJ before goin to lau pa sat to eat before goin back to SCH for results... gosh my section is scandalous also... my class is scandalous... gosh... lol. After talking crap and playing primary school games we walked back in the rain. Then we were all saying we were the wettest band.
Goin in saw Lisa and Simin and chatted to them... great to see them again. After that went back to the NJ peeps and we went up outside the backdoor to wait becoz they allowed only 7 ppl in and we decided to wait as a whole band.
As we waited... the announcer came back again and then started thanking a whole range of ppl which was bloody irritating... and then he made 2 more notices.... prolonged the agony. Then it finally came.... Band number 1... AC.... gold... ... ...
It was just a gold. I was like.... oh my gosh... shit this can't be true, how in the world they only get gold? then la..la..la the other bands...
then it came to NJC.. Band no.7 ... NJC... Gold... WITH HONOURS! I screamed my head off.... really screamed my head off. Really Really Really happy... i really dunno why... but soon AC's results slipped back into my mind. Then it really sunk in... the irony of feelings. During the cheering really felt great for NJ... as in really great. But the stupid thought kept bugging me in my head.
Then walking down out of SCH... i saw tao, william and samuel... gosh... the expressions on them really just broke me, to see my frens like that was just saddening. As samuel as leaning on tao's shoulder gosh... i really didn't know what to say. Really..... haiz.
When i was in SCH with them... somehow the NJ ppl went out... was i there? did they bother whether i was there or not? how long did they even stay out? The NJ band just fragmentted into their own small groups again. Outside the hall saw shermaine. she shaked my hand saying congrats and then walked off... could really tell how she was feeling. If NJ band got a silver or bronze... i really dunno what would happen.
NJ really had nothing to lose... we were expecting a gold yet got a gold with honours which was really a blessing.
When AC band got the gold... it seemed liked they lost alot, they were expecting gold with honours nothing less. But when they got that gold... though sad they were, there was something special there... the AC band spirit. They were all there together... keeping each other up. After that the whole group of them went to Lau Pa Sat and i joined them again. The Band sat as one... enjoyed each other as one... and really was a whole big family. This was precious to me... really precious. Will NJ ever become like that? I really dunno. I hope it does... but NJ does have it's good points also yes?
But NJ... where is your school spirit? Where is your school spirit?
Should i stay in band or should i quit? Haiz...
