A lot has happened since the last time I blogged, which was almost a week ago. It's not that surprising, really because a lot can change in a week, which is 7 days, 168 hours, 10080 min, 604800s.
Last Friday I had choir in the morning. Actually, it was afternoon, but sops had extra practice in the morning from about 10am. We ended at 3pm, but I felt that the last bit of practice was redundant, seeing that we weren't really accomplishing much by ourselves. I think we can improve a lot, but we're over-reliant on J2s. Us J1s, especially the sops, need to really improve on our sound. Somehow, I find that we were a bit better notes-wise in our sectionals than when we did combined on that Friday. After choir saw Da En and Jierong at the Amphitheatre painting their banner. Their banner ROX lah. It's really tidy and looks cool. Yeah! All the best to them for Elections 2005! Met Poh Wei after his harmonica practice, which also ended at about 3pm. I decided that I would go home first to change before meeting Wei Jie and him for Huang Cheng, so I took a taxi from school. It's actually quite fast you know, besides bathing, I still had time to slack before I left. I even reached Raffles Place MRT early... takes about 45min. Not bad. Rachel was late in meeting us, so we went to scout for a place to eat. Ended up at some hawker centre eating nasi lemak that Wei Jie's dad said was not bad. It's actually quite nice, you know, considering I'm not a big fan of nasi lemak in the first place. =)
I felt that Huang Cheng was quite nice actually, except for the second play which was draggy. The first was okay, a bit too artsy for my liking, but I liked the last one best. =) After the play waited around with Mong Seng, Poh Wei and Wei Jie along the Singapore River, for Lay Ning to end. However, Wei Jie left before Lay Ning was out. Reached home quite late after that, but was worth it, seeing that I don't have man oppurtunities to do something for Lay Ning.
Last Saturday I had a headache, which I attribute to a packed week and too little sleep. Waited at Orchard MRT for 5TORM, which made my headache worse, because they made me wait for so long! Tsk tsk. Went to Pastamania at Scotts to eat, and we sat there for quite a long time, courtesy of me and my headache because I didn't want to move and made them sit with me too. Haha. Poor 5TORM, because they had to put up with my Fear Factor treatment of Kathy's unfinished pasta. Oops. XD After that went to Far East to take neoprints... yeah, this is the first time I actually took neoprints... quite pathetic, when you think about it. Hmm. But it was fun, despite my headache and sickly state. Weiqi gave us all friendship bands which were really pretty. =)
Yesterday was the release of the JAE posting results... which made it quite a sad day for many of us in class. Well, and me. The only good thing was that we were dismissed at 12pm, so we could slack! Yay. Went for lunch at Golden Chicken @ Coro... highest attendance from the class ever! After that we decided to go to West Coast, but after realising that not many people were going after all, we called it off. Lay Ning and I walked back to school from the bus stop we alighted from and met Huangyu and Jierong at the class bench. We started talking, chatting about stuff, all the way until 5pm. I have no idea what we really talked about because to tell the truth I was rather sleep then, maybe my brain shut off. Went home with Lay Ning after that... it occurs to me that it was one of the last times that I would be taking a bus home with her... =(
Today went to school and sat at the class bench, thinking how different it was without all the people around. It was, all in all, a really dreary day, although we ended early. At about 12+ or 1pm, Lay Ning came back from SA! Was sooo happy to see her. Maybe I'm overreacting (because I'm not used to loss), but I can't help it, okay? You know (digressing a little...), so many people are leaving me lately. Firstly it's the people who can't make it back, and then there's Dawn and Yingwan, who are leaving for the greener (and much wider) pastures of Australia...
Choir, I felt, was enjoyable today. Was about to write 'good', but decided against it because nothing was 'good', in terms of technique, sound or whatever. It was enjoyable because I wasn't tired. Oh wait, I thought of one reason why today's choir practice was good: because I actually learned something, and I think I improved. And that's GREAT. Miss Lim was doing vocal training today, and she actually praised the sops a bit. Wow. We were quite shocked. Haha. =)
Tomorrow I'll be going directly to Changi Airport after school, to send off Dawn and Yingwan... ahhhh. Will miss them so damn much. =/
