gold
struggling for your goals makes your achievements sweeter.
'Singapore Chinese Girls School. Gold.'
I nearly died. I didn't want to believe it before because I didn't want to get my hopes up. but oh my goodness. 'gold.' The band has been working for this for 10 years. In 2001, we got a bronze, which became a silver in 2003, which made me ecstatic. then today... today, I sat in the lobby of singapore conference hall because no matter how much I begged and pleaded and threatened to annoy the army man outside, he wouldn't let me in. I sat outside and asked my friends, what do you want to get? 'gold,' the smiled sheepishly. I thought to myself sadly, I don't think they can, but it's possible. I was afraid to get my hopes up.
'gold,' I jumped up and down and screamed and I don't know why, but I cried. perhaps because the struggles of countless groups of leaders finally paid off. SCGS band is officially a gold band and nobody can talk down to us anymore. yes, it may not be much to people on the outside, who think whole judging system is flawed anyway, but it means a lot to me, to us. even if in reality, it isn't as great as it seems. I don't care anymore, all that matters, is that I'm happy because I care.
I couldn't be prouder of my friends.
I couldn't be more thankful to God either. It's just what I believe. I sat down and Peace reminded me to pray. so I did, I prayed with her as they walked onto stage. I prayed as they played, and everything I prayed for came to pass. no squeaks, they started well, expression, oh my goodness. I prayed for them to be calm, to concentrate. throughout their whole performance I prayed. I prayed, 'anything is possible through you, Lord. I'm not sure if they will get a gold, but if you're with them, I know they will.' last time I said something like this was for my chinese o levels.
oh my goodness, praise the Lord.
