I've been trying so hard to pen these words, but yet today i summed up the courage to remind myself of the ardous journey i have chozen.
The band camp was really 'exciting' with bad things happening one after another.. the band members puked one after another and everytime of the day.. i really pitied wilson and yong zhen who had to do the cleaning... it was really quite bad. But.. i guess the alumni created most of the trouble... haiz... first the attitude.. it all started with 5 plates of innocent rice... sounds lame.. but yes.. the story begins: Daniel, khairul, Gim kai, Farzana and I were trying to connect the video cam to the AVA system in the AVA room ( this also caused another problem...) and the rest were dining at the canteen. Syafiq called to ask if we were eating.. i told him to continue first and keep food for us. Usually the members on food duty would put 15 plates of rice on the table.. but by the change of luck i guess.. they decided to serve only those at the table first and then the rest later.. however.. when we came down there was only 1 plate of rice on the table.. and Syafiq just said: we didnt leave rice for you all.. i was at fault for not listening to syafiq's explanation.. but when i questioned the duty in charge they said that no one reminded them that there was a short of 5 plates and hui xin also told me that when se went to ask the alumni table if there was enough food no one gave a damn about her. i was really dissapointed... it was their lack of care and concern that made me break down. and when i asked syafiq.. he yelled at me as if i was in the wrong... ( he apologised for not controlling his temper).... and i walked away... and i broke down.. i guess really no one in this alumni respects me... i was really tired... when we came back i decided to talk to everyone.. as i guessed so (which was correct) that they felt that i was weeping because of a fu**ing plate of rice.. and when Gim Kai touched on the topic of respect i broke down again... its a small matter.. yet the accumulation of this disrespect finally tore me down... its been a long time since i cried so bad in public... long long time.. Yet this is not the most saddening part of it all.... when stephanie came later.. she asked some of them why i was crying and yet they said AIYAH SOME LAME THING LA... what the hell la... after talking so much and yet the feel that i am kicking up a big fuss.. at that moment i really wish i could just walk off... it was like a release... yet i decided not too...
Well.. after that went quite ok.. the alumni practice went quite well.. and the band improved alot on the field.. To start another mess we made.... it was about the AVA room... we could not connect the video cam.. so we decided to try to connect it to the projector... but the projector room was locked... but there was an opening on the wall where the projector light was to come out from.. hence after some diliberation.. Khairul and Qizheng climbed in to open the door... so that the members could watch the video... finally we got things working and the band watched the video. But things got messy when the IT support came in and saw the projector door open and started to shout at everyone in the room. Then after Mr Poh told him to go to the teachers.. he told Mdm Leong that there were things missing from the room.. but he didnt even go up to check at all!! when he came in the second time.. then he went up to check.. and when he came down we asked him what things were missing... and he said.. the person holding on to the list of items was not around.. it can only be checked on monday!!!! it irked me!!! he wanted to make a police report ofr break in.. hence Mr Poh told norman to own up.. i didnt want to let norman be the scape goat... but i guess there was no choice as other people dont know the involvement of the alumni in the band... when Mdm Nava came to question us after she spoke to the IT support guy.. she was very angry.. i knew that we were wrong to break in... but the sliding door for the projector should have been locked to prevent this thing from happening.. yet they did not lock it.. it could be seen how lazy the IT team was.. as if they locked the sliding panel.. anyone that wants to use the AVA would have to consult them.. so they didnt lock it to cut workload... coming back... he actually told Mdm Nava that we climbed to the roof and went through the air con duct to get in... my god!! he watches too much action movies... if i had to do that i would rather beg him to open the door.. madness... it was really crazy to have such people around... it was really a close shave that there was no report made.. but i guess we have been blacklisted.. but i'm glad that the teachers understand that we did it for the band and nothing else...
The last thing that happened was Quammar's grandma passed away after slipping into a coma.. i guess he was really close to his grandma.. but i understand that feeling..... its so near yet so far....
Janice... its time
