yesterday was concert and chinese o level oral day. erm yippee? i had to get tix for nat to come to band concert. but then.
fann bought the tix i wanted!! argh. i was so pissed! then xuemin suggested letting nat have her seat. so i paid the extra $5 for her circle. ok ok. so now. nat says paul isn't going for my concert. just as well. i think he doesn't like me. i wonder why. hahah. so she's going alone. problem: the tix next to peter and nicole is now in wen-bin's hands!! o.O like what the hell right. hahah. so now i'm gonna get wen-bin to take the circle. xuemin gets her seat back next to michelle. and nat takes wen-bin's old ticket next to pete and nic. so yeh. so exciting right. sighz so stressful!!
oooookay. had chhinese oral. was easier than i expected. only i forgot wat 'university' was in chinese. urgh stupid me. but it wasn't too bad. i think i did kinda cool. so yeh. after that got together with weilin and hitched a ride on a cab to vch. for the concert rehearsal.
first person we ran into: daphne teo. like. erm. she just smiled at us. amazing. what happened to the lecture? hah. i. ran in front of the stage pushing my tuba at a dangerously reckless high speed. no one commented. wow again. took my place near the emergency exit. MY SPOT. they were doing vivaldi i think. then they did programme run-thru. so mich and i went to collect my music cert. the woman at the counter almost didn't let me take it even though 'twas i wot sat for the paper! anyway. had some of michelle's food(which she brought all the way from tampines). were caught by (suprise suprise)daphne teo and ms sim eating on the staircase. tan-chua came along to tell us to shift. so yeh. twas okay. went on in a while for finale run-thru. mr lim was recording everything. like wow. hahah. i hope it'll become some sort of vcd like the nus concert vid. that'd be way cool. i like all the tj items. they were so much cooler than the rest la. like the piano duet. solo piano. blaaaaaaah. tj had a percussion ensomble! both chinese and pitched instruments. like coooool. and a piano and mallad duet thing. zhi ying played the piano and derek played the percussion instrument. i'm not sure if it's the marimba or whatnot. so yeh. hahah. was so awesome. i really wanted to listen to it.. but i was too busy!! hahah..
after run-thru we had a de-brief. somehow our debriefings are not brief. urgh. teo had this list of people she wanted to see on her palm-top. like. nothing better to do ar. =P so after that we had dinner!! omg the food!! it was
inedible!! what kind of food were they giving us?! like rice with black pepper chicken(eew who ever heard of such a thing) raw-looking veg(i didn't even touch that) and tofu. ahh. finally something decent. the tofu was okay. 'twas all i ate. plus a scoop of rice. cheryl's packet could have been given to someone else and they'd be none the wiser. hah. even the vegetarian food looked great next to what we had. eew. then we tkg people took pics!! pics pics pics! we had people taking pics of us eating. like gross man. and then we took this pic on the stairway of vch. all lying down and like. we had this person take it for us. her companion shot one herself. i do not wanna know what they're gonna do with that. heh kim and i were like. erm won't go into that.
soon after. first bell rang!! i was so nervous. i had so much nervous energy. i just
had to do something. i was running all over. heh. but then. i decided to hang out with sarah and the trumpeters. omg sarah kept making me laugh!! it started with them irises. the flowers. loo kit took one whiff of his and said 'i think i feel nauseous' and i started laughing. i can't remember exactly what sarah said or what loo kit did. but i really couldn't stop laughing. i can't remember a single thing except that we both kept laughing at the smallest things and people kept asking if we were high and that made us laugh even more. sarah concluded that it must be the water. they drugged the waaaaaaater. oh no. hahah~! then washed my face and concluded i was better off high cos that nervous feeling was back. ermphff.
we played! OMG we played so super well. it was so cool! i felt like i could stand proud cos i knew i gave it my best and that we had done well. i was so happy and relieved that it was such a success! hahah. they called for an encore but we had no encore piece!! >_< sorry people!! hahah. after that we left vch and loaded stuffs onto the tj lorry. i got flowers!! a geberra from dinah. a rose from chelsea. a rose from cheryl. and omg what the hell? a sunflower from mr yeo. so sweet!!!! he specially asked chelsea to get one for me and sherry. i don't know if weilin got one. man it was sooooooo cool!!
on the way back to tj. the lorry was so squeezy!! there were so many people! but it was so fun. lion dance song!! all the clashes and random percussion instruments. we sang songs. did cheers. and blah. so cool!! told derek i was gonna go to tj. i wanna go to tj. seems like such a fun place. hahah. they were doing a round of introductions. derek's the slacker. kenneth's the lamer. lian wei's the tuba sl. zhi ying's someone's girl. -lover as said by derek- yeh. so cool.
loo kit invited me to join them for supper but my mum was like no. aww.
it was sooooooo cool!! ^^
and today. i forgot i had ca!! i totally forgot about history and english tests! i could have died. but it won't affect my prelims(i think) so what the heck. don't care ya. =P i hope anyway.
band was okay. kim and i exchanged blazers and oh man the blazers we exchanged were just right lo!! just what i needed! yay!!
tired! tomorrow's concert again! whee. so fun. i love performing. i love my tuba. i love being up there in the spotlight. and even though i had a small or minor part in any piece it's good to know i was a part of it. man. so cool! i'm gonna stick to music and band and orchestra for life. i can't help it. i love music!!
hmm. we should do this again next year. what say you? =P heheh. if i decide to take mep in the end. haha..
