The finals...

Listening to : Stand By Me - Ben E. King

I always thought and really precieved the most fun time of school to be the finale night of orientation. I really did...
Till I experienced National Track and Field finals...
Little did I know it would be a BLAST! like seriously.
Started out with us Ponning school at 11 to support them.
Well Its finals...come on...its the last day to pon.
Well thereafter we reached and had to wait, realising that there were banners EVERYWHERE!
We went to fix up our banner at the cozy 100m start.
.
When the races started, it wasn't all about cheering for your school.
It was kind of witnessing the best of the athletics in Singapore.
Well we were amazed by the 100m runs. Awesome.
When our events started, which was the 800 A girls. They were all so pumped up!!!
Qing Ying, Van and Faye ran. Not to surprise, Van was 3rd and faye 4th.
Then things started to heat up with 1500 A guys.
Well Daryl and Bren din screw the race up, but they did pace JJ.
JJ hit like 5th?? which was really good.
.
Then came the much awaited 4x100m A girls.
We were hoping and struggling so much to win at least a bronze.
I was videoing the race for Daryl. SO when the race started all was well.
Feline ate 2 others. Then I realised, both faye and feline were on the ground.
Apparently they both fell.
A moment of stun and shock was upon all of us.
I just froze a while to be extremely worried.
Immediately after the race, i stopped videoing and rushed down to find Feline myself.
Then i met weixin, the Leo, then bumped into shiming, then the J2 girls.
Apparently, it was unanimous, without any instruction or coordination.
We all just came down in concern.
Well. we didn't win. Sadly, but we were fueled to conquer 4x4oo A girls.
.
Well i went up and Leo was with me...We were both Hoping so badly that they win.
We were so anxious for them, words can't describe.
When it started, XY was like the 1st, then we knew something good was happening.
When it reached Amanda, the gap was at least 50m wide.
Divya couldn't catch. Amanda owned by at least 80m. Grabbing the Gold along with the Record.
When that happened. We were all so happy!!
Qing teared and we all literally jumped for many minutes.
Then A guys which all fought extremely hard. Really.
Despite them not really winning. It was probably one of the greatest shows of fights ever.
.
After both races, Me and Angie rushed down to congratulate them to realise the whole ODAC team is there along with many councillors. It was amazing.
Then it was prize presentation where all of us gathered before the VIP.
It was a celeration of not just winning or losing, but of sportsmanship and life.
We all cheered for our 4 by 4 team which did real well. Bro Paul came down. Many Pe teachers came down. SO proud of all of them.
When the ceremony ended we started taking MANY pics. Like MANY!
Then came the emo part where we realised we won't train together anymore.
Now that sux...really....
I dun wan them to leave. Its too early...
Gonna miss Leo the most i think...he's been helping me so much..
It was so well... sad that many cried. I really didn't want them to leave...
I realised that track wasn't about the medal. Though it plays a part,
But it's about well...CJC...US....
