The inter-school track and field is on again and the school giving alot of attention the happenings of the event. The 4x100m relay is the event of attention this year for the school. After failing to clinch any golds in other events, the hopes of getting one falls on this event. Although this is not the forte of the school and it is the first time in school history that they made it into the finals, it is at least still a hope. The burden of this hope fell on the relay team: Wayne, Ron, Shuan and Henry. The burden do bring stress. Although they did say, "If we were to fail, the school wouldn't blame us. After it is the first time and being able to make it to the finals is an accomplishment already", in the beginning but as the date draws near, the stress increased especially after what the principal told them the day before. The stress fell upon them like bags of rice. "Only first, no other position. This is not an order, but the faith I have in all of you." The 4x100m relay is the last event of the track and field meet and always the hotest must-watch event of the track and field meet. 6 teams made it into the finals this year. The participants are ready and on the bang of the gun, all of them made their dash towards the next in line. The crowd cheered. Wayne passed the baton to Ron and was pretty pelased with his results. They were in second place. Ron took the baton, ran faster and overtook the first and now they are leading. Three teams are way behind. Shuan, running the third lap must keep up the effort. Sadly, upon recieving the baton and running for not more than 30 metres, Shuan tripped and almost fell face flat forward. The crowd gasped and luckily, Shuan managed to get a hold of himself and continued running. But by then, he fell to second place again. Henry took over the baton and ran with all his might to the finishing line. But alas, no matter how hard he tried, he could only maintain his second position. So close but yet so far. The schoold can't help but to feel a little disappointed. Shuan kept blaming himself for the careless accident but the others keep encouraging him. "Silver is very good already. No one thought we could make it into the finals but look! Silver!" That trip brought the 4 of them closer and matured them. A month later, they got the first gold ever in the school'd history in a inter-school basketball match. Because of understanding, friendship becomes more meaningful and firm. In moments of failure, don't find faults but accept it together because only in moments of failure can you see who each other really is. Only with understanding each other, can you strike again together. Success without the blessings and cheers of your friends can be one of life's regrets. dar came to look for me at my workplace after confusing himself... this is the bad thing when u have two workplace... dar dunno where i worked and went to the wrong one... but he found me in the end and bought me dinner... haha... although my boss bought us dinner (without telling us) i still ate dar's chicken rice... haha... then he had to rush back to school but no money! gt money from me... so... did he buy me chicken rice? kidding... he is in band camp now... settlers was fun coz kinda quiet so we joined a couple in playing game... the guy kinda cute.. haha... the last forfeit was to take off a piece of clothing seductively... wasted... they allowed sock... if not will make him take his shirt off =X haha ok... better sign off now... been updatin lotsa nonsense with the stories lately... coco lee - bei ai de nu ren In Solitude at 3:20 am 0 shared in solitude | ||||||||||||
