things are going on.
i hope it's major, and get moved on. can't wait.
----------------------------------------------
the competition was done today.
8 long hours.
the 3rd time i'm there, still holding my heart for them.
alena commented after she was done, "need a paper bag".
not all too bad, but they cried.
they said sorry, but they do not need to.
i see them drag their tired bodies home.
life still goes on, just train harder.
at the end of today, i have forgotten how many afternoons i've stayed with them under the sun, listening to the chanting of counts and seeing their feet move in most funny ways. forgotten how many disappointments i've endured everytime my phone beeps for an excuse from trainings. forgotten how many times i have to chase for the consent forms replies. forgotten how i have to make a trip to get their cap badges. forgotten the saturday lunch i had brought for them. forgotten the notes i have photocopied for them. forgotten how much sweet talks i have invested on them. forgotten how many phone calls to parents to apologise. forgotten how i have to magically find a hair-net at 10pm the night before the competition. forgotten how panicky i got when one cadet refuse to turn up. forgotten the adventure of getting a new pair of formation signs at the last minute. forgotten how i almost want to kill someone.
re-start.
and be better.
it's necessary.
