i think this is a very nice song for a wedding.
happened to chance upon this song.

my weird illness.

i think i am sick.
i am not feeling very comfortable.
i am suffering from post-project comp syndrome!
Things start to feel weird.
I feel uncomfortable carrying so little things.
I feel especially uncomfortable not carrying my laptop with me.
I feel especially uncomfortable being at home slacking the whole time.
I feel uncomfortable not drinking starbucks/coffee bean every day.
(I tried to make up for my Caffeine deficiency by making myself a cup of hot cappucino.
but seriously, it is not where near those that i enjoyed for the past week.)
I feel uncomfortable not having to face my Macbook Pro every other sec or not watching/listening to their rehearsals over and over again.
I feel weird not hearing the "Hello, I am Lindsay Lohan." joke.
I feel weird not listening to the sharp and evil "I KILL YOU!"
I feel weird not being able to see dawn every other day.
I got so used to seeing her everyday.
seriously everyday.
I get to see her everyday after school.
and i miss those times when we rushed down to TK and bought chicken rice specially for one another.
Damn.
I miss the chicken rice too!
Obviously not the one that miss nani tabao from haig road, but the one in TK.
haiz.
damn.
its time i go back to my normal routine.
time to sleep normally.
haha.
13 hours of sleep the previous day rocks!
:P
I miss sleeping.
about 12 hours of sleep today.
I am rather satisfied.
I guess i am recharged and ready for my future challenges in my studies.
Three tests coming up. plus my FTT!
I am afraid that i will fail it once again. ): damn.
bye i am gonna try and sleep.
its difficult to fall asleep so early these days.

dawn B&J please!!
and i really really wanna go to german bar...
(say the "really really" in Danial's tone! HAHA!)

WE DID IT ONCE AGAIN!

Inter-Area Project Competition!
Area 11, Champions once again! :D
Fourth Time in a row.
Proudly, we get to keep the Challenge Shield once again!

and this time round, we will get to keep the Challenge Shield forever!
Look at the last blank space in the Challenge Shield.
Rightfully belongs to us, and the whole Challenge shield rightfully belongs to us!
:D
In fact, all those on the right of the Challenge Shield is Area 11!
except for the second top one.
and the topmost one was Area 11 too, (formerly Area 11).

The team, Instructors and Miss Nani. :D

I have to say that this year it is not purely a "Area 11 will win again" thing.
This year the circumstances were different.
Competition was stiff,
Other Areas were improving.
Project Comp was becoming more and more like Area 11 style.
no longer the Project Comp that we used to know.
It is even harder due to the short time frame that we have from the day we know that we got into finals till the day of finals itself.
effectively we only have 1 week before the finals to prepare.
Preparation of finals started on the 10 Oct when the finals was on 17 oct.
this is crazy.

That's why instructors' MSN nick read "Mission Impossible"!

We were really afraid that we will end up like Nanyang Girls or TK band this year.
The feeling sucks la.
I can't take the disappointment.
We can't bear to disappoint TKNP's Godfather, Sir Desmond.
Most importantly of all, the Challenge Shield MUST not fall into the hands of other areas.
haiz. Results announcement was an emotional moment for us.

With the "tiny" mistakes and non-perfection that happened during actual performance.
With the QnA being quite screwed up.
With the fourth and fifth Areas performance being quite on par with us.
Our confidence level fell to the negative zone.
damn it.
Dawn started crying when Sir Desmond came.
Sucks.
I was still holding on to the little hope that We have the Chance.
slowly analysing the situation with Sir Desmond.
it was totally not helping.
The more was being analysed, the bleaker our future seems to be.
The anticipation felt during reception,
our hearts have never beaten so fast in our whole life.

We rounded up our cadets to speak to them, just in case..
We were prepared for the worse.
It makes things even scarier as the cadets were very confident that they had done well.
keeping our fingers crossed.
as we did one last Area 11 cheer.

It was time to sit and wait for the results.
But before that, there was a "summary" from the judges on the good and bad points in general.
I can't stand it.
Eyes became a little wet, and goosebumps formed while holding dawn's hand damn tightly.
Sir desmond was beside me, making a checklist verbally, ticking each and everything that the judges mentioned that were good!
damn it.
we fulfilled all those, giving us a little more hope,
yet it was ambigious.
Area 2 fulfilled quite a few points too.

Then, came the announcement of results.
damn damn.
the Emcee announced 1st runner up first.
usually they would announce Champions first,
But not this time,
so in my mind it was like, "NO NO, 1st runner up, not us, not us, not us please."
and then the next thing was, "Area 2!!"
Damn! We jumped up for joy!
Tears of joy overflowed!
Screams of joy! WOOHOO!!
haha. and we were reminded of minding our image. hehe. (:
and finally! our team went on stage to receive their trophies and the Challenge shield!
Screams, tears and clapping resumed!
YEAH MAN!
Khaleedah, the group leader, held the challenge trophy high up!
AREA 11 did it once again! :D
all the hugging, sobbing and praising started!
Woohoo!

Success!
everything was worth it.
seriously, everything.
the friends gatherings that we missed,
the school that we pon-ed,
the lectures that we fell asleep in,
the late nights we stayed up.
or rather the nights that we did not sleep at all.
the amount money that we spent on starbucks and coffee bean to keep us awake.
the weight gained due to excessive whipped cream and late night suppers! ):
the amount of fastfood that we ordered, that even led to my number being blacklisted by Mcdelivery.
midnight surcharge on taxi fares that almost killed all of us.
the long traveling time from NUS/SP
to TK
to HTA
to Parkway
to Changi airport
to Changi Sea Sports Club
to Ikea
to everywhere
but home. ):
the dark eye circles/wrinkles/frown lines etc that formed,
the white hairs that grew overnight.
the lack of sleep.
the anger and frustration vented.
All those arguments and disagreements that surfaced along the way.
the EQ that was lowered during times of frustrations.
the friendship that probably soured a little.
the many things that we prepared and did but was not being put to use. ):
and many other little sacrifices here and there.
for example the tears that dawn has sacrificed. :P HAHA!

But of course there were happy times too,
times that kept us hanging in there,
times that kept us going on,
videos that we watch during our late nights to keep us entertained.
the stupid, "Hello, I'm Lindsay Lohan!" joke that forever came at the wrong time (from fiq.)
the times we used fiq's name to curse in German! :D HAHA!
the complimentary drinks that we drank in the airport.
the whole can of whipped cream that we "owned" all to ourselves,
the cups of whipped cream from Starbucks that we requested,
the times when dawn and i camwhored in the middle of the night.
the little gossips that we shared here and there.
etc etc etc..

Finally it has come to an end.
A Happy Ending.
An ending that we are all satisfied with.
All those who walked through the whole journey with us, making our success possible:
Hongkai,
Afiq,
Dawn,

Thanks to all the people at HTA who had given us a great deal of technical help.
Special Thanks to Songsheng for your videos.
Sorry for the really short notice.
Thanks to Sir Desmond for taking time off your busy schedule to give us your moral support, and thanks for always being there as a fatherly figure for us to confide in.
Thanks to Mr Koh Tong Seah for helping us so much with our props!
Thanks to all the OCs from the different schools.
Thanks to Lianyu for giving us the moral support.
Thank you Miss Nani for helping us learn to make use of our time wisely. haha.



Thanks to the project team for putting in your best effort!
All the last minute changes that you guys had to adapt to.
All the willingness that you guys put into your performance.
All the unexpected situations that we ended up in.
All the disagreeements that you guys had to go through with your parents etc etc...
Nevertheless, we did it!
i am really proud of you!

Now its time for a good rest.
Time to move on and catch up in life.
Everything ended off on a good note.
Another significant event that impacted me.
Many things to be learnt and have been learnt on the way.
It is really a wonderful feeling.
Area 11, We are the defencing champions!
