Staying in school from 7.30am- 5.30pm for open house was strenuous, and the conducting really wore me out, but xiums was so good at the other two songs, so I had energy to carry them out. I think the choir really did a superb job, and one plus point was that I felt we really clicked when we performed! (: and mae was so nice to bake chocolate cookies for us! I ate about 6 of them, but shh.. >.<>that good.

I saw carmen, pet and rachie when I was on stage just before I performed. Carmen was backstage the first time, but then she sat right at the back for the second performance. And pet and rach were at the back waving like crazy, so I smiled extra big for you guys, cos I really couldn't wave! Thanks so much for being there. It's great performing when you have friends around (:

I was a nervous wreck for the first performance, cos I thought I was about to fall off the stage! And then when I started with the 5-count start of Las A. I kept feeling I was going to go off beat and crap the whole performance up. And I was perspiring after the song, cos I was literally jumping around in my extremely loose court shoes to intensify the song. And immediately after that super energetic song, I had to calm myself down for the second intense, reflective piece. And get back my breath control. It's actually quite fun trying to switch moods immediately, cos it really tests your mental strength and stamina. Lucky I slept quite a bit the night before :B

Stayed a while after the Open House with xiums, yi lun, mae and tanneh. It was really wacked out cos we kept laughing like maniacs. It's just the stress of the day. Anyway, the comm was really encouraged after ms loo praised us for efficiency. It really means a lot to poor souls working hard for a good cause. :b And we took lots of pictures too! People like those in nutella brighten up my day. (:

Xiu Huan's in Vietnam now. She left on Friday, so I had to sit alone for about 2 hours of the day. Lucky I had Mr. Orange Balloon to keep me company. Xh rocks! She actually blew up the balloon from our physics lesson and wrote on the balloon "Mr. Orange Balloon will keep Chermaine company on 3rd Sept. Good luck for Chinese test! Jia you!" and when I read that, I was really encouraged. It made my day. (:

I think having a name like "Samsuri Sahari" is pretty cool. That's the name of the taxi driver who sent me to church. Mr Sahari is a fast driver. He brought us to Tanglin Road in 10 min when normally it takes 20min! He flies his cab.

Went to doctor's after open house. It'll all be fine soon.

My sis is watching some soap opera chinese drama thing where there's this girl crying and screaming in the rain for her shi fu. And she can hold her wail really long too. Amazing lungs.
