For some reason, the official song for the FIFA World Cup has been thoroughly playing in my mind since yesterday. I'm talking about the Celebrate The Day song not the Shakira song. I'm not saying the Shakira song is bad but it does get kind of irritating after some time and you could not help but pray for her hips to just lie one of these days.

Anyway, we had our school Sports Day yesterday. I thought twice about going but since there was a huge hype about it I thought I'd just go and check it this once. It was also my first time having Sports Day in this school so all the more to go right? Personally, no matter how amazingly boring I am, I was looking forward to go.

The day started of with a march past from the house members and uniform units. Everyone were paying full attention to this one. I didn't know what was going on because I thought "Come on, its just some lame march past." Apparently, the competition has already started and everyone were getting excited. Let me tell you, the march past was fucking faboulous. Yeah, I sweared for that one. No wonder they trained months for this. The best part was when each team were given like three minutes during their march past to do some sort of coordinated cheer. Each team was fantastic. I actually took out my camera to tape the whole thing. But my camera suddenly decided to fool around during that time.

My camera and I have had some problems since the first day I got it.

The main talking point of the day was Manimogan. This 17 year old Chindian (not trying to be a racist here but I was confused as to what he was when I first saw him) is apparently the famous sports athlete in the whole district of Petaling. I've seen him a couple of times in school but never really knew he was famous of that sort. Well apprently he is, and its proven by Mrs Doreen who couldn't stop talking about him throughtout the whole march past session.

Manimogan is the school athletics captain....
He is also the captain for Petaling's athletics team....
He won the gold medal for Selangor in the 400m run....
Thats not the only gold he has....
He is also the golden posterboy for Milo....
I can't stop talking about him....
Its slowly pissing Sheila off....


Manimogan is the one wearing the orange cap standing behind the girl with the maroon blazer. It was also during this time that Mrs Doreen was going on and on about how wonderful he is. Thats why the rest of them looked dead bored.

Oh and if you happen to pass by PJ and spot a Milo billboard, you would see a boy smiling with a cup of Milo, yeah thats him. We even have that flippin billboard at the back of our school. How pathetic is that??

After all the boring speeches were done, the event finally started. I decided to go and find Diyana and Cai Li. When I found them, they brought me all the way to the other side of the field to see the house tents. People from respective houses were busy decorating their tents because apparently there was going to be another competition involving tents. So I just hung around and fooled with my best friend..the camera.





This is my house, Yellow house or Hang Lekir as they call it. Don't ask me where the other two houses pictures are because I thought I had it with me.


Later we heard a loud bang and the first race had already started. It was a race between schools. My school basically kicked ass in this one.

Home ground advantage, I tell ya.

Later the weather got hotter. Me and Cai Li decided to go to somewhere with a shade. We found some space near the hall that was right in front of the finish line. I thought it was the perfect place to watch everything. I looked to my side and saw this guy from 5 Ixora. Remember the good looking debater that I was talking about a couple of weeks ago? Yeah, I saw him sitting next to a girl who looks as though her mission in life is to get herself plastered on him. That girl was all over the guy. The funny thing is, the guy acted as though she was not even there. She was resting her arms on his shoulder and kept on giggling for no reason while he got more interested with his shoelace. The girl? What a whore. The guy? What a stuck up jerk. They're perfect for each other. Suddenly Cai Li broke me away from my thoughts when she yelled "Sheila! 'WH's running, WH's running." Well, she got excited because atlast there was someone that we can actually root for while I was excited because, oh well you know why. As we were waiting, the weather started getting darker. People were closing in below the shade. Later, the race started. 'WH' was leading all the way through but he fumbled a little towards the end and got second place.

He sucked basically. He lost precious points for our house. Yeah, 'WH's is in Yellow house too, FYI.

Just as the race ended, there was another one coming. It already started to drizzle. Everyone was getting hyped up because Manimogan is going to run. FYI, Manimogan is also in the Yellow house. Everyone said, he's the fastest guy in school and well, no one can beat him and shit. So, I was looking forward to see him run. So as they were getting ready, the rain started pouring.

HARD.

I thought they were going to cancel the whole thing but they didn't. The guys started lining up at the starting line. Next thing you know, they were off. I quickly took out my camera because I find guys in shorts running in the rain to be...interesting.



There's five guys running and Manimogan is the orange one at the centre.

Stopped laughing yet?? Well, wonder boy got second as you can see. Later, he was on his knees staring at the ground. I was like "Oh my god, suck it up already. You lost. Deal with it." Then, the PBSM members started crowding around him because they thought he was injured or something. Suddenly he got up and was like "I wanna puke!!."

Well, that shooed all the PBSM members away.

But its always nice to see the best one lose. Like Brazil.

After that, they did stop the whole thing since the rain got worse. So for the next three hours or so I just sat around doing nothing. When they finally continued, I was already too tired to do anything. But I did waited for them to close the ceremony and announce the winners. The house champions when to the blue house and the march past champions was Police Cadet. Oh my god, you should've seen their reaction. It was like someone just got shot. The members were crying. The teachers were crying. Everyone was so emotional.

Jeez, that was a first for me.

Anyway, the day was all good. I had fun and thats the most important. Got back home my body started to ache. Nice.
