SYF!

FINALLY.
after months of prac-ing prac-ing and more prac-ing,
TODAY WAS THE BIG DAY!
haha yeah mind you this will be a rather short post because octeo is currently chionging four different stupid subjects and is running very short of time. but I must blog about today because today's the day we had syf and that's a really really memorable day! hohoho.
so anyway!
it was really different from the SYF experience I had in pri6, when I was in guzheng ensemble. That one was MUCH MUCH MUCH less nerve-wracking than today's syf.
We had a few more rounds of prac early in the morning and there were so many teachers who came in to look! Alot of seniors came back too. JIALI & FIONA!!!!!!
Okay so being the noisy crazy bunch of zhongsuo people, wenting jiaqian and I officially named our zhongsuos! wenting's is called shiny 'cos it's really new and shiny (thanks to her polishing skills), jiaqian's is named after wenting for some strange jiaqian-ish reason and mine is called mor-peng. Hello, meet mor-peng the zhongsuo. If you're wondering why it has such an ugly weird name go check out its horn. The whole horn is rusty and dented (dingdinglaoshi had to use a broomstick to get rid of the dents) and no matter how hard I polished it, the rust didn't come off! And it's covered in scotchtape cos the metal parts are all falling off. to sum it all up, my zhongsuo's falling apart but its my pride and joy!!! wahoo!
yeahhhh just before we were going up to wait for our turn, I started worrying. what if my yin zhun goes terribly wrong. what if I screw up the man ban? what if my shaopian bursts open again? Wasn't feeling that scared until I walked up to that seemingly super-super-super-high platform. Seeing the judges sitting there in such a comfortable position made me realise that this was like a competition. and so halfway through liangfeng my hands started sweating so profusely I had to constantly wipe them on my blazer while sucking my shaopian. There was a little messy part during the kuai ban (wenting jiaqian and I were staring at each other in horror when we heard it) but tanbo managed it very very well. and yongzhu's solo was GREAT! takes alot of courage to blow like that in front of so many people with just a simple quiet accompaniment backing you up. and then after watching yongzhu, i realised that..
any bloopers I made in the manban solo would be heard. very very distinctly.
yeahh so hands got even sweatier and everything... in my opinion changdi was good! It was really one of those rare occasions where the three of us get our pitch really perfect and it sounded so unified and everything. (:
wenting and I were staring at each other during the start of the manban part, like we were communicating with psychic powers or something. okay. her look of encouragement when I was nervously sucking my shaopian made me soooooo gan3 dong4!! haha yay i did it! didn't screw manban at all! Was so scared that I'd make a squeaky noise instead of playing my parts and at that moment I felt like I wasn't doing anything at all! hahal. man ban, octeo conquers you.
the last parts of changdi were very good too. like you can see all the sections moving quite synchro and everything... the feeling was super nice. then at the end i managed to do dan tu properly! after one whole year and I get the dan tu right on syf itself! blahhh.
after syf- chuiguan photos ROCK. go see lingyan's blog it has all the photos!
yeahh then back in school willette dorcas and I were so worried and anxious to find out the results.. alot of schools got silver i think, and bronze for the previous day. WE GOT GOLD! (:

received sooooo many wonderful notes and sweets and words of encouragement and huggggs today! feel so happy for the results. some people may be unhappy or contented with the results, but for me I think it was really worth the effort!!!! and rgco and chuiguan is LOVE! <3<3<3<3
