The 100 plus Track and Field Finals were held at Choa Chu Kang Stadium on Wednesday, 14 April. Our Class (and 7 others) were chosen to support Hwa Chong there. Some of the councillors were in charge of leading the cheers.
Although it was a bit boring at first, the competition soon heated up when the running started. Soon, we were directed to "Squeeze" in the middle of the space which Hwa Chong was allocated, where cheers were started. At first, several people were not cheering, but soon, everyone was cheering at the top of their voices.
Finally, Hwa Chong won the B and C boys titles. (An achievement held for 10 and 20 years). The activity was very fun as we do not always get the chance to support our school at a sporting event. (We also supported Hwa Chong during the Water Polo Finals). The school spirit was almost tangible...
There was also a 100 plus man, (like the Milo Van at HCI Cross Country) there were about 3 of them, walking about with large 100 plus tanks on their backs. They would actually hand out cups of 100 plus while walking around the stadium.
Also, I saw some of my other friends from RI.
However, most of us reached home very late, as we were dismissed at about 7.20, and those who took the bus back to Hwa Chong, (like me) generally reached home at 2100.
We also got a half day on Friday, where school ended at 11 am. Yay!
SJAB Promotion Parade
We had a SJAB Promotion Parade today. Since Sec 1s do not take part in the Parade, we simply stayed in "Senang Diri" (At ease) position. It was a interesting experience as I had never seen a promotion parade. After the parade, there was a reception, and there was photo taking. Finally, we headed back to the Cadets Room to collect our Uniform parts, before being dismissed.
