ah . what a long and (*&^%T$#% up week .
listening comprehension on monday , fairly uneventful . its uber easy , i bet i got an A , HA . spent the precious minutes before that running around like a chicken thats lost its head looking for a blouse to borrow , and was all hot , stinky and sweaty during the exam , ugh . choral fest practices on both tuesday and wednesday , i daresay we ( both SN and the mixed chorus ) bonded so much more . oh yes , and the hot cellist guy in SNYO kept us all going through the long and dreary marches up and down the stage over , and over , and over again . oh yeeeees (: he really was hawt , yknw . oh , and i love my eye candy (: he kept me going strong ! his name is Max and HES SO CUTE , everybody thought so okay ! yongzhen managed to get a picture of him , i shall print it out and gaze at it everynight before i go to sleep !
thursday wasnt as bad as i thought it would be , as in , in the terms of the rushing around . rehearsal for choral fest ended early , and was able to stroll through a park-ish place to the explanade , with serene and hoho for escorts . journeyed through this maze of rooms to the dressing room in explanade , and had a not so relaxing shower in the showers . took me about ten minutes to figure out how to work the taps , and got myself burnt and frozen and over and over again in the span of this ten very nasty minutes , like eurgh . practised a little with the group while towelling my hair dry , i do believe i've mastered the art of multi-multi tasking , yay (: sound check at the arts cafe was relatively okay , this bunch of morons pissed me off though , talking loudly and all when TONE was having their sound check and when i was trying to get rid of the mommoth headache . told them to " excuse me , can you please keep quiet ? " , much to the horror of tabs and went back to sleep on the extremely wooden coffee table . and yes , thanks to tabs and jo for making me look simply smashing on the day with their excellent skills in makeup , but ive got a confession , your hard work melted off my face in the midst of the mad dash back to victoria concert hall ): not really sure how i sounded during fever , really , everything started and ended so fast yeah . hohum .
and anyway , SUARA got 2nd . oh well . TAG got first . congratulations to TAG (:
concert was great , had a very amusing photowhoring / group picture taking with the choral festers , i've never before felt so wanted and loved , haha in a way . hum hum . walking in for finale was weird , i ended up in the first row instead of the second , but oh well , there are perks (: like standing between Max and um , daniel ( piedmont ) , i believe . forgot the lyrics to tsubasa , and so did camelia . had a panicky whispered debate / discussion about our heinous crime of Not Memorising The Song Lyrics And How To Make Up For It with her out of the corners of our mouths ( daniel whispered the lyrics to us out of the corners of his mouth ) while maintaining our wow-worthy smiles (: but we neednt have worried really , once the band struck up , the magic of the stage took over , and we remembered all our lyrics anyway . finale was great , many thingys burst and confetti came raining down on us , oh yay (: many other mini confetti sprays were had by picking the bits off the floor and throwing it into the air again , haha (: after 1001 hip hip hurrahs for everyone later , we trooped off the stage (: summoning up all my courage with darling alex by my side , we asked Max for a picture ( he said yes ! ) and just as promptly lost him amongst the throngs of people , PFT )': you'd think that a blonde head would be easy to find in a sea of browns and reds and blacks , but noooooo . ran round and round with um , amanda / cassandra / cant remember her name now later on In Search Of Max . twenty minutes later , all we had for our efforts were two pairs of extremely sore feet and many other random pictures with everybody else . and then we got all emotional after seeing others cry and such , and then reality sort of hit , like we're all never gonna see each other again in this way , unless we meet each other on the streets that sort of thing . gave up on Mission Max , he seems determined to avoid us at all costs , pssh . many goodbye hugs and exchanging of phone numbers and tears later , i was on my way back to esplanade for the results and all sorts of nitty grittys . i'll miss toh ban sheng and his life stories and stuff , and the " girls , girls , girls . and the gentleman " .
got lost in the maze-y area , and alvin had to come and save me because tabs was too lazy to , psht . was damn freaked out , the place was all dark and deserted with other passageways branching out into many different directions . then the music came on , and i got even more freaked out . things got a little better when i reached the dressing room where people were sort of quiet . and subdued , ah well . saw qianying , HAHA she hasnt grown , much (: had to throw away my five dollar bag i got from ebay because the light bulb burnt a hole in it , seriously . and then the exhaustion and headache and gastric etcetc hit . felt damn bloody terrible on the way to city hall , didnt talk much to the others , and neither did tabs . slept a little on the train , and took the bus home , and then this bunch of bengs and lians came on the bus and started talking loudly and crudely in their own special language , and i think this -.-" says it all . hit the sack arnd one-ish , and didnt wake up until um , nine-ish . haha . had a debate with my inner devil and angel on the issue of To Pon Or Not To Pon , and a winner emerged , victorious , after a long while . i was on my grumpy way back to school .
the week away from school felt great , and then again , not so great . its gonna be hell trying to catch up . and with so much homework and stuff that i missed , i have no idea what i'm still doing here . this would have to do for the moment , and the many days ahead
P.S vocallapallooza is cancelled . nothing can describe my extreme disgustedness and shock right now . it is amazing , really , that with singapores population of 4 million over people , we are unable to sell 350 tickets . ridiculous , really . do the math , friends . and the certain acapella group pisses me off , real bad . dont you let me see you again . perhaps theres a reason why God has let things come to this not very pretty pass , but i havent got the strength and time and patience to figure it out now . i'll do the serious thinking and stuff later , just typing these lines out make me steam at the ears
