Finally,
Our final rehearsal.
PHEW.
THE SAME THING. LOLOLOLOL.
Our first two rounds were better than our last two rounds, as commented by Mr. Tan Chee Wee.
Our arm swing was getting worst and worst. We were really unsynchronized. However, our baton drills, turning, etc. I think, were significantly better.
Somehow I began to feel a measure of pride and honour during the reharsal, standing there and experiencing the full glamour of it all. The previous two rehearsals were 'screw-ups' (not really), but now, I sort of began to look forward to every round of the rehearsal. I felt really great when you face the terraces, the clock tower and the statue of Mr. Tan Kah Kee. The clock tower really looked resplendent under the shower of sunlight. Really wonderful. One of the first times I had such a splendid view of the school.
I sort of have a habit - a bad one during the parade rehearsals. I always fidget my facial features unknowningly, though very little noticed. I am trying to get this habit under control, to maximize and perfect my performance on the day itself.
The overall parade was ok, as Mr. Tan Chee Wee put it. I don't feel the anxiety now, and I certainly hope I don't on the day itself. I hope I don't screw up my armswing during the march-past, which was exactly what happened during our last rehearsals. We still haven't eradicated this problem entirely as a contingent, and hopefully,we will succeed in doing so on the day itself.
I'm wishing myself good luck. I really want to make the school proud (though I am still a cadet, not a lance corporal, sergeant, or sorts.)
Thanks.
Cheers,
Zhu Cheng
