Friday, April 3, 2009 Wednesday (1 April) was ..... disappointing. I'd love to say crap, but that isn't appropriate is it? I know I wasn't competing on Wednesday, but the judges' scores really have me pissed. And everyone too. Only Huiru was the nice, lovely judge 'cos four of her scores got cancelled for our cdiv routines for giving us the highest D= And Chief judge was fair too okayyy. and I notice, that the lowest scores being cancelled ONLY EVER appeared in the J2 and J3 (Judge 2 and Judge 3) columns. WHY. Do you owe your school that much, you must degrade yourself to give them false pride? What happened to bent-left-leg girl, who got 8.3? Or the people who stumbled or touched the tramp and got over 7.0 out of 8.0. And what happened to the ex-girl of the judges' school who went RJC and received a lower score for her ADIV routine instead of the high 8/9 +s her hcjc counterparts received? Or all the BDiv who were sided and jumped so low and had such bent legs they looked like frogs (Okay, exaggeration haha I couldn't think of anything else) and yet received such high scores? And inbetween comp, me and xinyi and felicia went out to prata house and had milo ice XD We were looking for the $3.20 drink but couldn't find it on the menu. Then later we found out it was milo spin, which was marked as $3.00 on the menu haha. but milo ice was nice, except for covering ice with hand part, and milo spin was super sweet. So i'm glad we bought milo ice instead =D CDiv was good, even though the team was super nervous. But I'm sure everyone tried their best, 'cos it was the first competition for most of them, and nervousness is unavoidable )= But overall, it was good =D BUT Karen's score did not deserve her routine. Where do the judges find the things lacking to make up a deduction of 2.4 from a neat routine? BDiv was worse. Not in standards, but in disappointment. All their routines were neat. Steph's was a MIRACLE =D That routine was her best ever. And both Eunices jumped their best ever routines on Wednesday! Their backdrop didn't undercut and fly all over; instead, they were perfectly controlled. Kelly's was GOOD. She doesn't deserve that low a score. Chief judge gave her an indiv score (According to her =) ) and the other judges -except huiru!<3- took it from her. Emily's routine could have given her well above what she received. After that, ADIV! Their routines look scary >.< 'Cos they flip here there everywhere AND THEY NEVER FALL. And then some kids were invited ( I think?) from China and their tramp routines were HIGH. Like their pike jumps and tuck jumps and straddles are super neat. And for example, the tuck jump, they do tuck the snap their legs back straight, then Finally land on the trampoline, which we are never able to do. I'd lose my balance and fall and crack my head and die if i tried that. And there was this boy, he jumped and jumped and jumped, then flipflipflipflipflip with no straight jumps inbetween. And he didn't lose height. and he didn't fall. And he's so young. How's that possible? And they jumped twice their height Eeeeek o.o HuiRu was super cute as a child! =D And she almost lost her photos after getting down the bus and she was like"Ohno" and the bus door was closing and she just stared at it o.o Then she reached into EGoh's back and pulled out the photos! =) And then we went somewhere to celebrate (I'veforgotten!) at the macs inside, and on the way we took 156 XD We took up the whole bus haha and people were staring at us. Can hear OUR people from the front all the way from the back XD Oops! And then in macs we were all separated. Then we went island creamery( sp?) with the super nice ice cream haha. Then I looked at my watch and realised it was eight o.o Then later muchmuch later, I went home! In HengYeng's car. Then we were talking about our juniors XD Then I was super tired. And we still had to go to school on thursday. D= And to the biased judges and the school they belong to, I, (If I were nice), hope that when you look back on all your comps. in the future, you won't actually feel that you're unworthy of all your medals which have lost their glimmer and shine and attractiveness by that time because that's exactly how I, (Being just Lisa instead), wish for you to feel just that way. & Wednesday feels so much like a dream. Like we look back and we know it's real, we remember it's real, and yet the misty covering, and the feeling and sense that it's a dream, is forever there. Why is it that important events are always marked as dreams in our memories, and yet unimportant events like writing on your friend's worksheet is as vivid and clear in memories, as if it had just happened? Why do all the precious memories seem so faraway and out of reach, while those we rarely think about seem to accompany us constantly, ready for us to seek them? I don't want it all to be a dream. I don't want to look back on the first gymnastic competition I went to in the future and feel as if it had all been a dream, as if it had all never happened. After you mark all the important events in your life as dreams, your "real" life would seem so crap and pointless. Is that what our lives are, then. I don't want the memories to be a dream. How do I keep them clear? (Sorry this post is so... serious and black. I'll post another part later =D Later sometime.) One more heart at 4:12 AM |
