Eternal Rest
"She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry.."
Yo man. Heh. Guess wad? Riverside Sec Band got SILVER for SYF!!! Woohoo! All dat hard effort had finally paid off. Those 'hell' we've gone thru, every single day, got scolded by different conductors...wow. Well, no surprise lar. We practised so hard. Man, we deserve dat silver!! Alhamdulillah. Thank God for giving me tha strength to go on. Yar. I've got fever. A high one. Couldn't get my head off my pillow. Then Elmo called me to get down there A.S.A.P. And so I did. Felt so weak. DIdn't think I could make it. And dat band uniform is so...out of tha world. Hot like tha seven damnations of oven. People on dat 913 bus looked at me like I'm some kind of freako. Wad's their problem?! I couldn't be bothered by them. Nearly missed my stop. Reached skool at 6:15am. Everyone was there, all dressed up and ready to do their thing. I'm proud. They looked really great, especially.....
Still felt so lifeless. Didn't had breakfast also. Haiz. My stomach was like tha sound of me whacking of tha bass drum. It went boom boom. Seriously. After tha short tuning, went to board tha bus. Man, I really haf a beef wit' big buses. They make me feel *boiing-boiing* inside. Like tha whole thing wanna escape from my tummy thru my mouth, u noe wad I mean. But, I managed to resist tha temptation. Reached there, found a toilet, and into tha toilet it went; all dat chocolate biscuit I ate in tha bus came out too [my only source of food]. Well, dat helped a lot. Felt more hungry. Anywae, thanx Naqib, for helping me out. Shitz. I didn't feel so good. I didn't even had tha chance to wish every single one good luck for tha performance, not even my own percussion crue. Haiz. Played tha songs wit' an empty stomach. Hehe. After dat, I volunteered to looked after our instruments downstairs. Hah. Missed all tha fun upstairs. Well, not really. Talked shitz wit' Brian. Then met a coupla old fwenz too. Ok, got to noe dis gal. Syahidah. Kranji Sec. Quite nice lar. Haiz. Didn't ask for her numbuh. Hehe. My heart is still occupied. Well, wad can I say. So we talked. Quite long also. I could see Brian grinning at me. Then she walked away, never to be seen again..
Got tha results after dat. Went up. Different faces of people. Some nervous, some scared, some juz cannot be bothered. I waited outside. Then, it was announced. "We got silver." I was like... aww man!! Great!!! Everyone was screaming. Me too. Hehe. Smiles carved on every single face. Some even shed tears, tears of excitement. Wow. She was so happy. She smiled. I was happy too. Hehe. Good for us lar! Congratulated everyone. Had a big hug wit' me stuck in tha middle. Sheeze.
Went home. Felt so happy. My fever all gone. Hehe. Well, good job guyz! Be waiting for dis Wednesday. Pizza. Hehe. But, sec 4s will be stepping down. I'm gonna miss them, especially Arifah. She's like a big sister to me. I truly salute her. She's one of a kind. She changed us percussion crue. A super great SL to be exact. Haiz. Wad's gonna become of us when she's gone..? God please save us.. Amin.
