ich lieber dich -- 12.06.2008

Today was the Inter-School Dikir Syarafil Anam Competition, held at SM PAP Masna. The Maktab Sains' male team were the first to perform, due to SOMEONE's involvement in another competition. MATII. If he was just a reserve, we wouldn't be the first to go up in the first place. He doesn't even know the melody of the song. Argh. I won't mention his name, as I would probably be captured by the KDN.

Okay, from the beginning. Since most of the people who are in the team are MPs, we decided to all wear the MP slacks. Difference? Regular students (i.e. non-MP and non-PU) have purple/maroon slacks, while MPs have blue slacks.

The team comprises of me, Hafiz, Marzuqi, Nur Muhammad, Afif, Yazakka and Muqtadir. Reserves are useless, Yamin and Hadry. Our song is Alhamdu. It was sung by around 3 other schools, out of 20 ish. Our practises have been great, with a few adjustments here and there, most of us were able to reach the high note. And there are a LOT of high notes.

After we performed -- I won't delve into how our performance was -- we had to sit there until all 20-something schools were finished performing. And that's a lot of time to waste. The first few hours went by as slow as clouds passing by in still air. About 10 schools performed, some were bad, some were okay, and some were singing straight into the mike. Then there was the break. We ate right outside of the Hall, and then we went back in. There, we played games, such as 'pick between Bulan, Bintang and Matahari' and the Stare Game. Hahah. We were bored.

The girls FINALLY finished their performance. Their turn was the 18th, out of 22, I think. Their practises were enough to allow them to adjust to the high notes, while sitting down. Hrmph. And so we went back to school, nervous about the results. And it came via SMS from Cikgu Khairiyyah to Hafiz. We didn't make it to the finals. The girls did though..

Oh well, one down. More to come.
