National Day Celebrations
Me & XiaoYu tried to be as
shuai as possible, but
alas, only xiao yu could pull it off with
style. I was, unfortunately, a milder version of a
mafia member (according to chay, cos of my new hairdo.) But never mind, it was pretty weird wearing pants/black jeans. I brought my board shorts to change but that would have been
really weird. For one, I
don't wear board shorts, & two, I usually almost
always wear skirts, so yes... And I got XiuHuan to wear her red soccer jersey! -
beams- She looked like a real pro in it... (: Trying to get her to cut her hair, then maybe she would be able to fufill her "dream" of spiking her hair (naturally of course..)
heehee.
Oh yes, me & janell bought some kitkats (red) and ferrero m. (the white ones) for the class
from the class comm. Hope everyone got theirs..
After ND Celebrations, had Speech day rehearsals, which totally
sucked cos the school mikes are the lousiest on earth, & so the harmonies couldn't be heard, and also cos
friction brewed between some of the sec3s for a while, then it went back to normal of course. And my little part (earth angel) was totally messed up, cos I was suffering from a sore throat that wasn't sore, in other words,
I had no voice. And so I couldn't hold my A without cracking. And it was so funny cos the mike for the soloists is super loud and clear, so naturally everyone listening could hear.
Great.
But I had the
wildest, craziest time after the rehearsal! I think it is the funniest time I ever had. I went with some friends
(points and laughs) to Far East for chicken rice, and they told me some pretty f u n n y stuff. It was crazy, & cos none of us wanted to go home, we hung around at the turkish ice-cream place for about 3 and a half hrs, and just sat there cracking each other up. There was a lot of table and chair-slapping going on, & every hour we would get up to buy something, just to compensate the aunty for putting up with us. We bought the turkish ice-creams, and then some turkish french fries ;), and then a fruit dish that-wasn't-a-fruit-dish. It was this terrible mess of something salty and something bitter. How fruity.. And we took turns going to the restroom, which is nothing much except you have to pay 10 cents to pee. lOl. And then we did some democratic voting, and then more screeching/laughing. I never laughed so hard since the cow jumped over the moon. They truly are the funniest people on earth, and the coolest. ;)
Went for piano after that. I sucked at the lesson
again. It has become such a routine maybe I should just drop the exam. After all, my teacher is considering introducing
Jazz piano to me instead, which is an up-and-coming syllabus for abrsm (for those who didn't know). Some of the pieces are really funky.
Today
My aunt & uncle (mum's side) are here for visiting. They brought some
homecooked american chicken rice and german salad for us! (:
I love them. I'm currently munching on crackers with american cheese spread. It's a
superbly tasty thing cos it is japanese crackers (very light) with american cheese spread over it, like some
gourmet meal. Every time they come around for visiting we
always get to eat
great out-of-the-world lunches, cos my aunt is a really great cook,
especially for western meals.
Doing RS now..
and wondering why people allow themselves to get their hearts broken, or why they ignore their breaking, bleeding hearts.
