I-DICA 2013,Day 2-The Competition.

So this is it.Today was our time to shine!!

The three of us woke up late.The boys however were all early.We quickly took our shower and rushed down for breakfast.When we got there,we saw all the others down already having their breakfast.Breakfast was good.Sausages,and hash browns.Corn flakes,bread and butter.It was all so much to take in for breakfast but nevertheless we hungry souls devoured our food and ate till we were full.

Our performance was the 13th one which was the second last performance.So we decided to watch the other college perform.3 judges were at the back of the auditorium,an Indian lady,a Malay woman and a Malay man as the head judge.We were waiting anxiously for the first group to start.However,their pronounciation wasn't clear and we knew we could beat them.The second and the third group was okay only.Nothing great.They did not manage to capture the attention of the crowd.

Then came a group of well,good looking boys and two girls.As we watched their drama unfold,we saw that these people had great pronounciation and their story line was simpler compared to ours based on the theme Energy Saver.We saw the eager spectators,all with their eyes fixed on the actors and then the moment came when one of the boys who acted as the I-Pod did beat-boxing!The crowd cheered!We were all so impressed.That was great!Abig round of applause came from the crowd.We then leant that they were all from the Labuan Matriculation Collge.Then the team from Pahang performed.They were funny and the crowd were laughing.They were good too,as we all noted.

We started to feel a little anxious.So we did not see the other performance.We did a full rehersal practice.Our teachers said that it was good and we were all well prepared.Then we went inside the auditorium again and this time the team from Selangor performed.The lead actor,Vinod had to change his shirt several times because he had to narrate the story during different situations in the sketch.Everyone was surprised at how fast he could change his clothes.

Then there was a short break and during the break it was announced that our group would be the first one right after lunch.So we got our props from our room and our teachers did our make-up for us.Half an hour before the competition,Firdaus lost his bag and everyone was on a search patrol to look for his bag.His lab coat was in the bag and he needed the lab coat as he was the scientist in the play.


Luckily enough,the people in charge found his bag and everyone became calmer afterthat.Then we got in and   did our performance.

After our performance everyone cheered and clapped their hands.I asked Miss Brenda on our performance and she said we did a really good job!!We were all so happy!

Afterthat,we decided to support our friends who took part in the other competitions.We decided to see our other friends who took part in the innovation competitions.

Students from the technical schools invented better gadjets than the students from the normal matriculation college.There was this one group who invented a portable charger.That same gadjet could also be used as a torchlight.Another group from Labuan invented a temperature regulatory water bath.The water bath can be adjusted to any temperature.That was also fascinating too us

After seeing all the gadjets that had been invented,I went to the room and had an hour's sleep while the rest went for tea.

That night,during supper we made friends with the team from Selangor.The winner would be announced that night itself.The Selangor team and us were talking about the competition and all when one of the teacher's of the Selangor team informed that Labuan won first place.We were all disappointed.We thought we were going to win first place but nevertheless,there was still an oppurtunity to be 2nd or 3rd at least.We continued our conversation with the Selangor team and at about 12 we headed back to the room.
