Mee Siam Mai Hum

This post was drafted, deleted, redrafted, deleted again.
Then I decided not to type it after all.
Then now I am here typing it again.
Talk about fickleness, really.

Anyhow, it still hasn't really sunk in yet. The initial trauma may be over, the exuberance and mad adrenaline dosages of the past 2 weeks, the empty, anticipative heart and all.

I don't know, I'm feeling darned emo and my grammar's going to bits as a result, but I don't really care.

Not that I'm about to burst into tears and all, 'cos we did better than we thought we'd do.

Last year 'twas Max, Ben, CCA, Qingyun and me.
We lost to MGS in the 4th debate, we felt like crying. We actually did, though no one'd admit it. We were a team, and reading through my blogposts then (rather hilarious I must admit) brings back a lot of memories.

After we lost yesterday, we went for a movie. Just like the old days. It was great putting aside the freaking huge backlog, worries and workloads and just having fun again :) Thanks to chengaik, max, jerrold for being with us when we needed it! We've all been so caught up in the ratrace of hwach that we've quite forgotten what it used to be like.

Haha, then there was the 2 hours emo-ing session at Raffles Place MRT, the lowest platform. We just sat there and ranted about life and debate and the teams and speakers and how unjust and dumb everything was. Letting it all out was an explosion of memories and thoughts, but it's only made me more contemplative and my brain throb harder.

Not to mention the "overstay" fine we had to pay.

Ohwell, I'm proud of my team, all five of us. To be frank you guys weren't my ideal team, but we did work well together and that's what matters.

My being ranked 8th was the absolutest fluke of the 21st century. I don't ask for more, but I did think that kahhow and nicolette and all unranked people deserved better..

Anyhow, I've typed more than I've ever done this year.

I'm feeling a lot better today, though to absorb the loss's something that won't happen immediately. People tell me u14s isn't the only competition around and that there're a million others to go for. Which is mostly true, but you only go for y14s once in your life. In my case, twice, but I was awfully lucky.

At the very least, we didn't crash out unknowns.

Back to harsh, harsh reality now, and my freaking ecology worksheets, zomg.
