Back From Genting

Well, I went to Genting for the 21th Century International Arts Competition with JSPO for Music Band Competition. We went in two teams: Team A and Team B. I was in Team B with most of the Form 1 and Form 2. We set out on 23 of November on 7.00am in 3 buses. I was in Bus B...

There were a lot of interesting matters that we faced when we went to Genting(the venue where competition was held). But there was one which was too devastating.  One of the buses met an ACCIDENT. Their bus was going up the hill and then their bus's engine suddenly faced problems. The driver tried to pull the handbrake, then the handbrake broke and then the bas went down like CRAZY. The wise driver(considered by our teacher) immediately made the bus turn to the side and the whole big balooka fell into the drain. Netherless, no one was wounded seriously. Only a few students had minor injuries.

By that time, our bus had already arrived at Genting. We were waiting for the other buses. One was involved in an accident and the other had a flat tire. An unlucky day.  The students that were involved in the accident received help from the poilce and a lorry that came to pick them all up to Genting International Convention Centre aka GICC. The sky was raining at that time. A coincidence or ...? They reached GICC later around 5 o' clock. I wanted to put up a picture of the bus but I don't have it... sorry.

Now, want to know the funn things that happened in the bus?? One of my seniors, FM(I won't disclose the full name) immediately took out his pphone and recorded the whole situation. He kept asking the others "Do you have any comments regarding this accident" , "Any opinions on how this accident happened" and etc. The driver's door was stuck while  in the accident and no one could get out. He even helped to pick the poker cards and UNO cards that scattered on the floor. The emergency exit? Don't even mention about it! The door handle of the emergency door broke when being tried to open by the victims in the bus. SO, how did they get out?

A trespassing bus and car saw this and came to give some help. They pound open the drivver's door which was stuck and let all the students come out slowly. Then, we assembled at the lobby. So the matters regarding the accident... I think it's over. Hey, wait a second! We were also on the news~~~ Duh, the reporter said in a dull and sleepy interesting accent that" Breaking news Here are news regarding Genting Highlands. A Jit Sin Philharmonic Orchestra Bus that went towards Genting for a band competition has met an accident. 38 students and 2 teachers were stuck in there but are evacuated safely." Everyone instantly was being watched by millions of audiences with their video that was captured by the news reporter that went there.

Now for the results... Team A got 76%, a silver award while Team B got 70%, also a silvrer award. Yay~~ But a music band from Thailand achieved an astounding score--87%, GOLD WITH DISTINCTION. OMG. They're very pro as they also performed for the closing ceremony + achieved OVERALL CHAMPION FOR BAND CATEGORY. On the other hand, our school's JSCO got OVERALL CHAMPION FOR CHINESE ORCHESTRA CATEGORY. They were overjoyed and thrilled with their achievenment. They sang the Jit Sin school song after receiving the prize. So touching... There was also a dance competition and the OVERALL CHAMPION FOR DANCING CATEGORY was Nutscrew from Singapore. A dance group that dances "machine dance"

So, glad with the results? Of course. So I'll be signing out from here. Any questions regarding the 21th Century International Arts Competition or the accident that you wish to ask, you can ask me via MSN. Ok, this is my best post + TTFN.
