They gorge their asses with trophies, we nibble at humbleness

Sports Day today. I'm totally speechless to whatever happened, but I'm damn proud of those in class. The guys and gals both did well and I'm so damn proud of them. Haha. Anyway, the whole class was certain that we would get the class champion for B division Boys cuz we won most of the races, but then 4/9 said that they were the class champion. What the hell. So Mrs Chang helped us to check the results. And what the hell we were 2 points behind 4/9. But it was impossible because our class guys won higher honours than the boys of 4/9, and many of them were golds. So we went to verify all our positions for all the races, and found out that Tong Loong was placed in 3rd place for 200m singles when he came in 2nd. And 4/9 was placed 2nd, when they actually came in 4th. I just can't imagine how can one jump 2 places. The worst thing was that the time keepers who were supposed to time our lane wasn't paying attention, so only the position noted by the position keepers for that race is taken into account. Tong Loong said that the moment he finished the race, he was told by one of the position keepers that he was in 2nd place. But when 4/9 came in, he was declared to be in 2nd place and it was written down. So technically we lost by 2 points but Tong Loong was supposed to be in 2nd place. But Mr Chee did nothing to change the result. Even 4/11 agreed that we were in 2nd place. Haiz… So we went to find Mr Chin who was in charge of the time keepers to verify. So he called on all the position keepers and they were visibly in doubt about it. So they said that 4/9 was 2nd. What the hell. How could it be when 1000++ pairs of eyes saw Tong Loong come in 2nd and one pair of eyes said that he was 3rd? Unreasonable… But never mind, let them be champions for all they like, cuz they never were the champions in the first place. So we just laughed it off and enjoyed what we have, and what we know in our hearts we have gotten. The bia song really works, for a matter of fact. It kinda bonded our class. Never seen 4/10 like this before. I think even Mrs Chang and Ms Leong were shocked. Took a lot of pictures after the event, but did not join them for dinner cuz it was getting late. And not to mention Tong Loong made a fool out of himself!!!Three cheers 4/10!!!
