Sports Day

Held at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil.

Today wasn't much better than Thursday.
In fact, it was a lot worse.

I'm just way too tired to explain everything, so I'll just give the highlights.

Opening Ceremony

In order of appearance:
Kadet Polis
PBSM
Band
Aidan
Adele
Xavier
Pauline
Puteri Islam
Pandu Puteri
KRS

All was going well for us. The tabit hormat was so nice. We actually had a chance to win it this year. But then again, I've never really been so lucky in competitions.
Pn Ann and the VVIP's speeches were so freaking long.
When we had to sing the school song, the most shocking thing happened.

Our commander fainted right in front of us.

It took all I had to not run or burst out in tears right there and then.
We knew all chances of winning had flown out the window when she fell.
Of course, we panicked. Who wouldn't? We kinda lost focus and got a bit disoriented. Lost marks there too. Probably.

After exiting the view of others in ramp 5, almost half of us started crying. We were so close. So close. 

But of course, we couldn't do anything about it. No one can really blame her for fainting. It's not her fault. We could never hate her for this. Well, at least I can't.

After the opening ceremony

We all tried to perk up for her sake. I  prefer not to say her name, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out who my commander is. Then we watched cheer together. And cheered for Kak Fathi in the acara balapan. =)

Sukantara for unit beruniforms was good. KRS got first place for that one.

Then, litter duty. >=(
That's not fair. All the unit beruniforms were supposed to help pick up trash in the stadium. Since the people here don't know how to walk to the trash can all along the staircases. Sriously, every staircase had at least 2 trash cans, and people still don't make an effort to throw away their trash.

In reality, only KRS marchers were the one who picked up the trash. Everyone else? They did absolutely nothing. It was so disgusting. And tiring. We were wearing the full uniform the whole time. As if our baju is cooling to wear. YEAH RIGHT.

Closing Ceremony

The results (for first place only)

House marching: Xavier
Placard holders: Xavier
Cheer: Xavier
Overall: Pauline.

I know what you're thinking. How is that possible? Xavier kinda sucked for the sukantara and the track and field competitions.

That's basically it. I'm too tired to continue with what happened after the Sports Day was over.

***Goodnight...***
