♥ 9:40 PM

the dance never ends for the music continues, and the sweat drips

Just So You Know by Jesse McCartney

It's getting hard to be around you,

There's so much I can't say.

Do you want me to hide the feelings,

And look the other way?

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not,

Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop.

"Item 56, Dunman High School, De Ming Zheng Fu Zhong Xue"

And in about less than seven minutes, the dance had ended and everyone ran in the wings and promptly exited through the door. While dancing, i managed to maintain that smile, that normal feel, but overall we had not managed to create the atmosphere, to make the judges feel like a part of our dance. It wasn't my best, though i landed well with a proper dao ti. Ningli cried and i almost couldn't control, but everything was over, and we well knew that we had no second chance. All the way back to school, the bus was silent, so silent..

Don't know, but some people said that had been their best, some felt they could have done much better. But everything depended on that only chance, then or never. One moment we were still hugging and wishing the best to each other, and the next moment everything's over. Inside us, as much as we had longed for the gold with honours, we knew it seemed harder and harder to reach. We decided to reach out for gold instead, and we got it. But we are feeling so mixed. Could we have gotten the honours to go with this gold? Could we have put in more effort to create the atmosphere? If we danced again would everything have been better? Have we really put in our best?

Yanmi was the admiration of all our eyes. She sprained her leg after a wrong landing but she pushed on, came out onto the stage for the finale and danced with such feel and confidence, despite suffering so much pain and holding back her tears. We are proud of yanmi, very proud of her :) But yet at the same time, we felt as if we had failed to fulfil one of liang laoshi's birthday wish, we felt sorry, though there was no turning back. "Our item is a gold with honours item. Many teachers said. Just that we didn't execute enough."

Looking back at all our tough practices, almost daily practices and trying to perfect the timings and steps, leaving the hall tired, with wet and smelly shirts, going through so much scoldings, so much humiliations, so much hard work, so much pain with all of what bruises, cuts, bleeding, sprains.. Yet at the same time, we were so happy together, each wudao practice was each opportunity for us to know one another better, to joke with one another. Thinking again, through this whole competition, we've managed to maintain our gold yes, but have we also managed to build up this bond between all 28 dancers? Yes :)

I'm really glad the wudao sec3s are so bonded, and although we might have a little different thinkings, we will always stay by each other through this period. We have cried, we have wept in silence, kept solemn, but deep in our hearts we know we love each other♥ Many thanks also to all the people who smsed or tagged etc for all the wishes- meixian, yuntong, dorothy, lyon, tongwei, jeanine, selina, rachel, dilys, limjiahui, deborah, cassandra, jiayi, JM, yilin, shuting, mayping, elaine, yeling, shirlene, hannah, kang jiahui, szeying, charlene, shumei, jieying, stefanie, wayne, elton, and more.

Most importantly, thank you liang laoshi, zhong laoshi, and lu laoshi for all your hard works, care and concern during this whole period of time! Thank you!! :D

Sweat was our motivation, and it still remains our motivation, always. (:
