of Boots & Kiwi =P

All rite all rite here's something about Pesta...... 6.am in the morning on the 4th of June, I was awoken by the alarm clock......I also woke my roomate up because he promised to help me polish my belt while I was away on drill practice. Washed my face and brushed my teeth then I went down...*I had one eye swollen T_T* The time was 6.15 or so when I reached down thats the time Voon wanted us to be awaked in the basketball court in our drill boots BUT VOON didnt show up *what an example =P advanced sleeping techniques eh?* in the end Han Sheng came down and falled us in... and waited for VOON!!!! we all ended up lying down on the basketball court half-asleep until it started raining *Voon still hasnt showed up x__x* Finaly someone called Voon and he told us to get some breakfast then go back to our rooms and change into our uniform. We were falled in and some of our officers inspect our uniform before the actual inspection. Some of the boys that werent in the drill team were running around with kiwi, Brasso, water and polishing cloths. Inspection was a fast and brief one, they didnt inspect the whole drill team just certain people *namely ME =P* then suddenly Sir Ng came after the inspection and said "Congratulations you are going to the finals. The first 5 teams bye bye already". If I'm not mistaken 8th Penang went out before us *right beside us whom Voon said was a threat*. We we're the 8th team to perform. Then came the time to march into the drill ground... somehow I wasnt nervous but I could sense most of the team was nervous. Maybe its because they didnt had any competition experience. Anyways their nervousness caused the whole team to march real fast and I had to keep up even during hentak kaki I didnt even had enough time to get my knees up to 90 degrees because the rest of the team was stamping so fast. Penang state boo-ed and jeered at us as we entered *i can clearly remember* and so it began...... Our "yang tinggi kekanan, rendah kekiri, dalam satu barisan paras!!" was screwed up because one of our member took 2 steps less then the rest of the team *there goes 1 major mistake* and "disebelah kiri jadikan skuad" was ALMOST screwed up because our commander ended the command on the wrong leg... lucky the team was smart enough to take 1 extra step before executing the command. The rest of the sequence was smooth... our commander reported again and we marched out =).


Then came the time for the results to be announced *AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF WAITING??? HOW INCONSIDERATE!!!* as they were announcing the 10 teams that would enter the Finals we we're standing together with the 1st KL drill team in one semi-circle. I was so afraid that we didnt make it but at No.7 "3rd Kuala Lumpur Company" we were jumping like mad monkeys and screaming hahaha. We had 15 minute rest before the Finals began.... so I went to see my guardians and my friends went to see their parents and some were even celebrating in the toilet *.......* after 15 minutes we were falled in just for awhile, our commander said "just rest now but when team no.5 goes out remember to come back here and fall-in" we were team no.7 to perform *lucky number ^^* 1st JB was team no.8 *o.o*. As team no.5 was performing we had to listen to Voon "crap" "we got into the finals by procedure. We cant afford any major mistakes this round" the whole KL state was on us and supporting us *we were the only KL company to make it through the 1st round* Voon also said "if we managed to boot 8th Penang out of the 1st round then 1st JB wouldnt be a problem" <<< that boosted the teams morale *thanks Voon =P*. I was praying really hard that we could get top 3 and make Sir Tan proud..... and so we entered the drill ground... the sequence was fine UNTIL one of the members and my best-friend James almost fainted.. his perlahan jalan was way out of timing and I was scared that his leg would be wrong on the next command *ke kanan pusing* indeed he was on the wrong foot but he stamped with the other leg anyways *bless him* the rest of it ended just fine.


After we marched out I had doubts about my dream of getting top-3 after the last team had performed I was waiting for the results then someone announced that the results would be announced later after the singing competition *......* what a bummer -______- and the end of the day we got 2nd placing woohoo a position that 3rd KL has nvr managed to get until now *we break history yeah* I remember standing beside Voon during the drill results announcements. He looked calm. I taught that we were getting 3rd placing..... but that position went to another team, then 2nd placing "3rd Kuala Lumpur Company" the whole company jumped and scream like mad people even Voon went wild *lol <__<* the team all ran up to the stage and claimed our prize then took some photo's and returned back to our company to see who will be champion. I taught it was gonna be 1st JB but it went to 16th Penang haha and that just made us more victorious because we beat 1st JB hahahaha after back slapping Voon and dropping gold dust on him we all went home with our history breaking trophy and had a good rest =)
