National Finalist.

Yep, thats right,
WE ARE NATIONAL FINIALIST, NATIONAL MERIT AWARDEES!
mmhm, quite unexpected though.


Let see, went to AMKsec knowing we werent going to win,
and not being very bothered at all.
Maybe, we just felt like giving up? Hahaha.
Set up our booths and ruth going "everyone has decorations!!"
Well, yeah, every, or almost all the groups,
had other visual aids,
and compared to theirs,
ours was a joke.
Considering a woman went to all the booths to take pictures.
But when she came to ours, she got ready to take,
then she stopped herself, and walked away
So we presented,
and we could tell that the judges weren't impressed.

Thus, when Mr Lim came,
he asked us if we had chance.
My only answer was no chance at all.

So he asked Alvin sir or some sir whether we could go back
(good thing we didnt)

He brought us to lunch and treated us to a bag of
yummy yummy fries each :D

went back, but was told by Mr Lim we shouldnt leave.
He then told us,
he has a strong feeling we will be top 8.
I thought he was joking,
but maybe he really did know :D


somehow, i didnt feel sad or anything
i just felt, well,
it was quite expected if we didnt get it.


During the prize presentation ceremony,
my parents were waiting for me downstairs.
Seriously, i was about to sleep already
(i stayed up till 1plus yesterday)
and i wasnt very interested in the results,
but well, proved me wrong.

We were practically in disbelief.
Actually, i'm still in disbelief now.
And there were three winners each district.
We werent one of them.
But we emerged top 8. Weird huh?

Yupp, second round was Q&A.
On both topics.
And as i was saying,
we didnt bother even studying,
thinking we wont get in.
So we practically crapped our way through
But still got some correct anyway
Some because i knew,
and some,
amazingly were pure crap.
E.g.

Qns: ..what is the activity american red crosss and the -something about saving the environment company- do to -something good-?

Then ruth and i were crapping stuff.
Our answer?
Ruth: Go Green
Me: Save the earth, live healthy.


And omg, it was partly correct ok! the go green part! Hahah!


And unfortunately,

i forgot last year's PRCLove theme! And that was one of the questions
And i knew what world blood donor day, the details of last years one. Not this years. How sad!


But well, its over now.
And we've got our certs, and
A TROPHY! that says NATIONAL MERIT AWARD
haha :D
We arent top 3,
which were,
Victoria school, RGS and RI respectively.
But i'm glad and very surprised with our achievement!


Loves.
