RI choral concert
Before sat's concert, I met sooneh and tanneh at junction8, and we rushed to sooneh's place to (as she called it)
primp (: Sooneh's house rocks. It's so big and artsy, with all those huge pictures of impressionistic settings (like in her room.) And then I drank jackpot. x) [inside joke]
So anyway we cabbed to VCH, and met all the other choir girls, all nicely dressed up too! And I met ny choristers kx, kim, kerr, miao qin, suet, lilin, and catherine! It was so so fantastic seeing them again!
Right, I HAVE to add this one in to clarify some
terrible misconceptions about if anyone has read soomeh's blog already. laughs During the intermission, I really
did think their little intermission-over alarm thing was to alert us that there was a fire. I mean,
come on. It wailed like an angry baby, and since when do intermission bells sound like that?! The esplanade's bell sure sounds better. So to those who think I am a weirdo and a serious blockhead, I tell you
nay. Soomeh is just being a meano. hahaha. (:
After the concert, I went backstage to say hi to
soh ee!! She's my Sop2 SL two years ago, and she's really talented. She looked so graceful in the rjc choral gown too. And so did bonkie. (: It was so cool seeing my old senior again! Too bad Siqi wasn't there though.
Went
esplanade with kaixuan, kerryn, kim, suet, cat and lilin after that. I shared this yummy haagen das midnight choc ice cream with kx, then we sat along the river and chatted for about an hour. And we threw our 5-cent change into the River! (
shh.) It started with me paying 5-cents more for the ice-cream, then kx insisted I accept her 5-cents, so I told her to throw it into the sea. (: Which was so fun (lol) I decided to take my own coin to throw. We had this whole ritual, complete with shaking it and blowing on it, making a wish, then throw! Kerr and lilin followed suit, so we have 4 5-cent coins at the bottom of the river now. (: and our wish? "Nygh and rgs choir syf GOLD". ;)
We stared at the
stars across the midnight-black sky. Kx pointed out part of the
Orion's Belt, which was so pretty..
How often do I actually have the time to stare up at the endless sky and appreciate the formation of the stars. Let's try 'never'. So how cool was it that my first star-gazing session was with all my great pals? It was great catching up with them. (:
I reached home at 12.30am, and Kx and I were desperately trying to take photos in the cab, but the driver kept talking to us about taxi safety and terrible female drivers etc. It was crazy. And the flash was so blinding. Every time we snapped a shot, we'll go ouch. (:
Dance & Hotel Rwanda
Today I stayed an hour to go through the dance with kelly and the girls again in school. Thanks Jac, Cat, Jia Jun, Michelle for coming down! (: Then me and kel went to catch
Hotel Rwanda. Kelly didn't cry at all! There I was trying to wipe away tears as fast as I could, and Kelly was yawning away. It was difficult not crunching my potato chips too loudly, especially during the silent sad moments. But the movie was
hauntingly deep. I really enjoyed it, but it was quite frustrating at times. I just felt like taking a machine gun and shooting all those sickening murderers. ):
My brother is in love with
Mulan. He's been watching the tape non-stop, and he laughs at all the funny places, so it sounds like a bad comedy, where the laugh track comes on at all the supposedly funny parts. Oh, and 3 of his teeth fell out, a sure sign that he's growing up!
My sis is a councilor in stc! So proud of her (:
