Two days ago was SYF, we laughed and smiled all the way there but it all made way to fear.
We suddenly felt so nervous and silent, the usual laughter wasn't there anymore.
And we panicked.
Messed up quite a bit but it was, well, everything. Everyone thought we would get only gold. The pessimistic ones( including me), silver.
So we went to watch the other schools and laughed at them all. But some were really quite good.
We almost forgot about the whole thing until the end of the day, and we started panicking all over again.
Because we trashed talked to the other CCA's before, (mostly CO and band), if we got silver it would really break our face.
'Gold is good enough,'
We kept on telling each other that but we knew it wasn't enough.
The results announcement was delayed buy a few minutes, and we listened to the other school's results. Most of them got silver.
Then when the man announced SECOND DAY, we all groaned. None of us really wanted to hear it.
When he got to CHUNG CHENG HIGH MAIN, Yiying screamed.
The man smiled, then said the five most beautiful words ever.
Jing Pai Rong Yi.

We screamed noonstop and most of the seniors cried.
After manymany years of silver, a gold with Honours.
GOLD WITH HONOURS.
The luck of the chopstick and my holey wood.

The next few hours were like a dream, sheer happiness, drifting around with big grins on our faces.Laughing, laughing nonstop.

The happiest days of our lives.



And today I found a $5 note, just when I thought I was going to starve tomorrow.
Life seems so much happier than before.

Now it's my turn to laugh in your face.
