Green house, green house!

Say who will rock the house this year?
GREEN HOUSE! GREEN HOUSE!


Let me begin the story from the day we had rehearsal in school now.

3rd of April, Friday.
Arrive at school by 6.45am and started to practice a few times before the rehearsal. Even ee ring too, raise her thumb up and say we did great. But yet all of us were so nervous, afraid might unable to do this and that.

And so, we went for the marching rehearsal first. Mit Mit was the first to scream, “Ah, I stepped on cow shit!” Yes, we marched in the dirty, yucky, icky mud – our school’s field. We all felt like vomiting as it really looks like stepping on shit lah plus that ew-smell from the mud! Some don’t even dare to look at own self’s legs, including me, hehe. After that, we rushed to the toilet to wash our legs and rushed to prepare for our cheering rehearsal.

We wanted to get either the 2nd or the 3rd position. But luck ain’t on our side, we were the last to perform. We were even more afraid that the audience might be bored about the cheering performance. But too, we thought that as we were the last one we should do our best and let them forget all of the others’ performance in front.

And so, we waited and waited. Our beat got wrong at the beginning, we started to panic. But then, when the audience started to clap their hands, we then only felt a little bit better. We were all so moody after the rehearsal, because that ain’t our best show. Besides that, I felt so bad because I took wrongly the pom-poms, grrr. Later on, chee ping came and comfort us that the teachers said that if we do even more better we definitely can fight with ang ang. Then, we only got a little bit cheerful.

4th of April, Saturday.

We practice so hard as it was the last day of training already. Had lunch at KFC with hanhan liew liew mitmit pui sin monie xiang ting mern jo yan ling. The ex-leaders came too, but we felt a lot of pressure seriously. We marched in the hot sun and then immediately without resting we continued our cheerleading. I don't blame the ex-leaders nor the cheerleaders to get mad, as all of us wanted to win.

I went to bed by 9 something and revised all the steps before asleep. I was really scare I might forgot the steps and ruined the whole thing. As I have hurt myself twice - waist and head to create the pyramid, I'm really afraid I might hurt once more. So, I didn't get to do it correctly everytime - only me! I was like omg, me again? I was praying that I wouldn't make any mistakes on sports day!

5th of April, Sunday.
Woke up by 4.30am and had a shower, felt so excited! Arrived at school by 5.45am and did some warm ups with shelby. Practice new steps after ee ring arrived and all panicked as the bus came already and we haven't finish yet! Managed to finish nicely and got up to the bus, straight to Stadium Bukit Jalil.

ee ring gave us the 4 ringgit leggings and we struggled on the bus to wear it, lol. We shouted our cheering and some even started dancing the steps even we're on the bus. After finished wearing the leggings, we arrived.

just arriving outside the stadium

waiting inside the stadium

We were like 'wow' when we walked into the stadium. jing yi said,"I used to watch from the seats up there, for the first time I looked from down here!" Not many students attended, all houses only a few rows are seated with students. We walked to our 'tent' and went into the tunnel to prepare for marching. Our marching-leaders wore black and green caps and hand gloves, which was so cool.

"Kiri, kiri, kiri, kanan, kiri..." out we go marching. Marched half of the stadium and went inside. Came out for the second time and sang the national anthem. When we were standing still in our place, we shouted as loudly as possible to confuse ang ang beside us. puan goh finally finished her speech and we ran back into the tunnel, and screamed as well!

After that, we continued practicing. All of us were really shaking and nervous like shit when we waited for our turn in the tunnel. We were glad when someone told us that ang ang made mistakes and we really can fight over them! One of the ex-seniors said, "ee ring had worked so hard for this cheering, you guys had practice so much for this few months! Don't you think all of you deserve something?" omg, then my eyes started to go watery already! ee ring asked us all to scream as loud as possible so that we won't be that afraid. And we kept on saying our cheering part and reminding everyone this and that! omg omg, my heart starts to beat so fast.

When it's our turn, we ran out and I heard a lot of screaming and clapping sounds. I was really relief and started to enjoy in the dancing and so on. At the parts behind, we couldn't hear the song clearly and the beat was obviously off-key. But yet, we did it so damn well. I was sure that the audience had a good shot when monie did the 'satay' and our superb-pyramid :D We were the last one to perform and when our performance ended, we kept on jumping on the tracks and not willing to leave, listening to the audience's clapping's sound. laugh-out-loud!

We ran into the tunnel. We screamed. We hugged. Even threw ee ring up into the air! ee ring said thank you to us and we shouted we love you ee ring! We bowed at jermin as the drummer and the other ex-seniors as supporter! Me and the others couldn't help own selves again and joyful tears started to fall (': Because we never thought we could be that really really really (x10) great! We were even highed when we got a lot of supporters/audiences telling us that we were super-duper great, saying we were gonna defeat ang ang! :D But then ...

hate don't-know-who.

ee ring came and asked us to be ready because we won't get the first prize like how we predicted and wishing for like hell. XXX ported us for using fire cracker. ee ring said two houses got the inform letter saying fire cracker are not allow, while the other two houses did not. We were like wtf. why can't they just inform us? ...

On rehearsal day, the duration changed to 5 mins to 7 mins. But on sports day, they suddenly changed to maximum 6 mins. Ours' is 7 mins and 10 seconds, got way too long. And as I said just now, at the part behind - where we had just learned today morning wasn't really good.

And the worst part, one of the judge was former ang ang's teacher. Yeah, he/she obviously wanted ang ang to win. Which was so not fair to us! How could he/she? We were more to cheerleading, they were more like hip-hop alright! How could he/she? only that one mark ...

We all tried our best not to cry, not to look sad and disappointed. But when the result came out - rumah hijau perbarisan johan, cheerleaders naib johan. I couldn't help it again and tears fell to the ground. We went and hugged ee ring once again and shouted we love ee ring! I was crying like shit man. If we lost because they were really great, I will clap for them. But then no, the judgement is wrong! how could he/she be that unfair, how could it be like this ...

)':

ee ring cheered us up and we went to old town kopitiam together for lunch. She was like didn't eat for 473543174089 days, here take a bit there take a bit. We gossiped a lot again because mostly there won't be that much chance for us to meet again! In the end, we changed our slogan:
Say who will rock the house next year?
GREEN HOUSE! GREEN HOUSE!
