Loss.

At the end of 12 hours, and many, many miles of running and mental planning, schematics, and self-urged alacrity, 24th place and nothing to show for all our efforts.

Oh, and AC barker got 2nd place.
22 places between us.

Congrats to RG for winning, and heck, with top place for prelims and top for Geotrail, first place was rather ditto. Wonder how those girls all get so smart.

And you know what was most frustrating? Sitting there wondering what could have been if we hadn't wasted 15 whole minutes running around HDB hub in a frenzied panic looking for the auditorium which was just behind us.

最后，到了我们的终点，我们总算功亏一篑了。

Were the top in AC gep, and the top in AC geog, the overall 4th, the 6th or 7th, and a intelligent economist really worth so little? Let's face it, we were the best the school had to offer. And yet. Look what we were beaten by. 23 others. And some schools didn't even send their best.

So, is it really so hard to believe that we fucked up?

Yes. Fucking hell, yes.

[Edit] Just realized this song is extremely appropriate.

Skillet - Imperfection

You're worth so much
It'll never be enough
To see what you have to give
How beautiful you are
Yet seem so far from everything
You're wanting to be
You're wanting to be

Tears falling down again
Tears falling down

You fall to your knees
You beg, you plead
Can I be somebody else
For all the times I hate myself?
Your failures devour your heart
In every hour, you're drowning
In your imperfection

You mean so much
That heaven would touch
The face of humankind for you
How special you are
Revel in your day
You're fearfully and wonderfully made
You're wonderfully made

Tears falling down again
Come let the healing begin

You fall to your knees
You beg, you plead
Can I be somebody else
For all the times I hate myself?
Your failures devour your heart
In every hour, you're drowning
In your imperfection

You're worth so much
So easily crushed
Wanna be like everyone else
No one escapes
Every breath we take
Dealing with our own skeletons, skeletons

You fall to your knees
You beg, you plead
Can I be somebody else
For all the times I hate myself?
Your failures devour your heart
In every hour, you're drowning
In your imperfection

Won't you believe, yeah
Won't you believe, yeah
All the things I see in you

You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Drowning in imperfection
