Sports Day!

WARNING: this post is going to be bias, put ur social studies skills to use, didn't u learn to judge the reliability of the report based on the credentials of the author?

so here it goes....




the plan was simple, go in there on april 13 and own sports day.
yeap.. and we did it!

the fun and hype at the grandstands (aquila pepsi, aquila water, the trumpets and euphonium, the hair spray, the balloons and most importantly the cheers!),

the chicky meal chicken look-alike mascot (thanx erjian! u've been perspiring the whole day in it, i'll definitely not forget how u hit the speakers when the music stopped for cheerleading! lol),

decorating the whole track as though it's out own carnival

(the banners opposite the grandstand,

the BIG BIG banner ,

the buntings )

going into the final day of sports day with a 70+ points lead ain't an easy feat, all thanx to the active participation from everyone (really, sports day ain't really a day just for trackers and others from sports cca, bcos the points that we can chalk up are more or less certain already, what makes the difference is all the others who do their part and make a small contribution that adds up to alot. we've proven that right haven't we?). Speaking of which, i apologise for being an irritating bug buzzing around everyone from the house during the registration period.. ooppss... sorry! really wished that everyone could step out of their own comfort zone and try something special during their 2 years in college.

phew! i was really relieved that sports day was not brought forward to the morning. i know alot of u all out there would have thought otherwise.. but then it really meant alot of last minute prep for us, imagine the adrenaline that we've to go thru if the last 6 hours of sports day prep is to be compressed into a short half hour.. and lucky yanho's prediction didn't come true as well... all his talks abt raining that afternoon and sports day postponed to the afternoon..


knew that aquila would not have been able to chalk up as much points as our closest competitors that day (note: i choose the word competitors and not rivals! econs students will get the meaning, it's a friendly competition in the name of school spirit after all right?), just hoping that the extended lead that we have from the heats will have pull us through it... but surprise surprise! we did well that day didn't we?

AQUILA!

CHEERDANCE COMPETITION CHAMPIONS!
OVERALL GIRLS CHAMPIONS!
OVERALL BOYS CHAMPIONS!
SPORT DAY OVERALL CHAMPIONS 2006!

well.. all of these are just mere results, things that will pass and people will forget (besides having the word AQUILA being engraved on the challenge trophy).. what i felt was more important is that we went through this common expereince as a house! i have no regrets abt it if at the end of the day, everyone agrees that "Aquila is the best house to be in!"

as the curtains draw, it's time to pack up my feelings and get back to studies, haven't been able to pay my fullest attention in class for quite a long while.. really ashamed of myself abt it... and sorry to the tutors and lecturers out there if i haven't been doing my work and sleeping during lessons.. i've tried.. really...

for the house, this has been my greatest moment! to lead it to the championship (may i stress that this is superficial once again) and the best house to be in.

as an athlete, this wasn't the best that i could have achieved, it simply wasn't the potential that i could have reached at that moment of time, but i promise, i will rise up to the challege, i will not not fall again like i did this time, no obstacle too big will be there for me to over come, come july during nationals, i will be the jennhaur that leaps confidentlt in the air once again!

(oh, does anyone have pictures of sports day? upload them on the blog pleases, i will really like to have them. thanx!)

DON'T WAIT! DON'T HESITATE!
THE BATTLE HAS BEGUN!
INTIMIDAT AND DOMINATE,
AQUILA'S NUMBER ONE!

WE'VE GOT IT TOGETHER!
WE'RE GOING TO THE TOP!
DUN LOOK BACK,
COS WE WOULDN'T BE STOP!

AQUILA!
