Pertandingan Kawad Antara Kompeni

Pertandingan Kawad Antara Kompeni is one of the major competition in my camp. Our company teacher, Cikgu Shimin wanted us to do our best in this competition and be the champion for it. Initially, our marching (wirawati) was terrible. The Wira's marching was great until they were praised by other teachers. Thus, every Friday morning, we had our marching practice at the Padang Kawad. Haih...Friday supposed to be our rest day, but we sacrificed our time to practise. Although reluctant to go for the practice, yet I still went for it. Some of my friends felt the same too. Sacrifice our sleeping time and stand under the hot sun for ALPHA!

The marching practice was conducted by my company leader, Masnita and assisted by Gda. Meanwhile, for the guys, it was conducted by Afiq, the Wira company leader and Yusuf, the commander for the marching competition. Earlier, we did our practice seperately. However, when our marching(wirawati) seem to have no improvement, we practised with the guys. And thanks to them, our marching improved a lot. The guys showed us the right way to march.For example,raise our legs up to 90 degrees, ensure that we are one hand away from our friends only,etc. Although sometimes they might be a bit harsh, they did it so that we can deliver the best during the competition. Whatever they did was for the sake of our company, ALPHA. Thanks a lot for your guidance during marching, WIRA ALPHA!

Later, we had a new trainer, named Cikgu Haji Hassan. He is a pro in marching and he had high expectation on us to win this competition. Whenever we have free time, he will ask us to march. March, march, march till we are perfect! No jokes, no prank! Must be very serious in marching. I was punished once when I did not turn correctly. I had to run around the Padang Kawad. How embarrassing! But, I accept it cause I knew I was wrong.

After all the hard practice, the competition day finally arrived. We were all nervous and when it was our turn, there were some mistakes made by us. I was one of them. But, overall, our performance was not that bad compared to the other companies. Suprisingly, ALPHA was the champion for the competition. For the Wira, ALPHA Wira scored the highest. Meanwhile, for the Wirawati, DELTA Wirawati scored the highest followed by us. When both ALPHA Wira and Wirawati marks added together, thus that make us the overall champion!
