[ We had a bitter utter defeat.. ]
Tuesday, 2 December 2008( 9:47 pm )
today is the national competition for the combined ensemble and Jing Shan CC was the last group to take part. well, we went in perform and left.. deep down we guys know that if we could get in, it would be kinda lucky. to our surprise we got kick out even in preliminary round. i suppose it must have shock some or few people who is hoping Jing Shan CC would get into the finals. sadly, it wasnt that case. we failed utterly..
well, personally i would say that we are very ill-prepared for the competition.
- majority of the members objected taking part of the competition and we werent convinced why we should take part in the first place.
- we had such little time to perfect the pieces that we are using for the competition.
- the lost of two comrades have made a scar deep into every of the Jing Shan CC members that proves too hard to recover emotionally from it.
- generally everyone is sceptical about getting into the finals based on the emotional scars and pressing of time against our neck alas it accounted for low morale to the group.
- with low morale, everyone aint motivated to practice hard thus having sloppy individual performance.
- teacher wasnt able to inspire the already poorly motivated group to perform well.
well, im not trying to point fingers but instead i would say that we have failed utterly AS A GROUP. everyone is at fault.. i too apologize for my incompetent role in this competition.
no doubt this setback makes everyone gulity about, "IF ONLY....". thats basically human beings who brood over setbacks. we have to learn from it and move on. hope this setback will make us learn to be humble at times...
elmo, take it easy! loves~!
