it's been long since my last update.. so here we go: another flashback..
friday, may 27, 2005thought it's gonnabe a stupid morning because 1) i woke up at 6.40AM, 2) i had not ironed my SYF shirt and pants for the day's aurora, 3) i felt very hungry because i did not have my dinner the previous day. hurrying up and down do the stuff i was supposed to do.. rushing off to school at 7.15AM, took cab.. the stupid cab driver brought me to expo instead of the green concrete, wanted so badly to scold the cab driver but he was so old already i couldn't bring myself to scold him.. fortunately reached school at exactly one minute before the bell rang, convinced myself that the old man didn't mean to bring me to expo, it was purely due to his senility (got such word?) and paid the full ten bucks price! hah, how nice of me, right? i wasn't late, so i thought it was okay to pay him full price.
rehearsals and rehearsals all the way till 12AM. YT and KM released us for 75-minutes lunch, back in the holding room with our black outfit plus the nice-nice netty silver scarf, went through full-dress rehearsal.. blow balloons (YC remarked that i had failed as a human being becoz i dunno how to blow balloons... if there is balloon-pump in hand, why should we be able to blow balloons, rite? just like, if there's calculator, why bother calculating 13567 x 27890? it just doesn't make sense.) CY obviously can blow balloons coz i saw twenty to thirty something balloons in the corner nobody else except him was sitting. YT released us for 75-minutes dinner-plus-make up.. had dinner opposite school with the EH, Er, YC and CY but didn't know what to eat; succumbed to my onion ring and sea coconut craving instead..
concert started.. the year twos were so tense before the first piece.. guess we did okay for The Way We Were, but Chimp Chimp Cher-Ee was obviously a rush.. didn't like how it sounded.. didn't like the volume, either.. maybe our Audi accoustics is really quite bad when there's audience around.
interval.. fungus and zen came over.. endlessly teased them.. hahahaha fun!
second half.. did the impromptu thingy for the band (it didn't work quite as successfully as it was planned).. SYF pieces was such a success.. could hear the audience roaring after Dance of the Yao People.. hahaha to think about it, we never failed impressing the audience with that song.. SYF.. College Day.. Concert.. let's see whether the July 6th performance would be like that, too.. we always rushed.. really rushed, and I could feel that Mr.Liaw would be begging us to slow down, but none of us cared.. we continued to rush, even so towards the end of the song.. but the most amazing thing is our ability to rush and stayed together at the same time. The effect is dramatic as we brought the audience from the slow, happy movement to the rapid, intense one. And Ming Xiu is always able to catch the audience's attention with his cymbals..
concert is over.. so thank you for everyone who has made it a success.. thank you thank you, you're far too kind..

june 7, 2005ASTRO CHALLENGE 2005 @ NUS
Met at 7AM at dining hall.. went off to the bus stop, travelled all the way to buona vista mrt to go NUS.. MCQ was darn hard.. Astrophysics, too.. CK's actually not bad in astrophy.. Model-building: felt useless most of the time.. Michelle and CK did most of the work hahaha.. Treasure Hunt.. our group got third, mainly because Chun Yan was darn knowledgeable about constellations and stars hahaha.. pretty fun day, though can't describe it properly, yeah? start imagining how fun it is to go to school just to study astro..
june 8, 2005woke up super late!!! sher woke me up at 7.35AM and told me that we were supposed to go to NTU at 8AM! Shittt only have 25 minutes to: 1) bathe 2) iron my uniform and 3) prepare stuff to bring to chalet! damn it damn it. asked sher to go off first but she insisted on waiting. finished doing all those stuff by 8.20AM and rushed off to NTU... actually we arrived there about seven minutes' early.. even had time to go to the farfaraway canteen B to grab some Mac's apple pie.
watched the finals and (yayeeeee!) witnessed some jc's losing to some other jcs. hahahaa. so happy, because that particular jc is so attitude to us. got our certs (very ugly design.. pat said we could have print it ourselves).. went to jurong point.. erlin had her lunch while me, sher and CK went to Comics' Connection.. CK bought a dragonball box with a dragonball character inside. Praying to get a Goku, he opened the box.. only to find that he got Goku's wife. Disappointed, he asked Sher to choose.. still couldn't get Goku. Then he asked me to choose.. still couldn't get! Haha.. this kept going on until the sixth box (which happened to be the last box displayed in the shop).. got Goku at last.
Went to chalet.. changed to my ghost outfit (dark tee and blue jeans), and went off to school to become a ghost for guitar camp.. didn't think we scared off anybody.. Pat looked freaky, though. Went off early to catch the last shuttle bus to the chalet but failed to reach the bus stop on time. Took cab instead...
At chalet: ate the nice-nice barbequed stuff, went to the Pasir Ris beach with Fung, Sher, SW, CK, CL and YS, found a nice stony spot to sit and enjoy the beach at night.. Most satisfying: got to spot Scorpius (Scorpion?), Summer Triangle and Teapot in the sky! Felt tired after the walk to the beach, so I just slept..
june 9, 2005woke up early in the morning.. about 7AM, to quite a quiet chalet.. most people were sleeping.. except Sher, Fung, SW, redundant CK, YC and YH.. made chocolate toast and coffee.. had a nice breakfast and talked crap by the pool with em..
played cards with some people.. then went off to Downtown East.. had lunch (couldn't decide what to eat so went Sea Coconut again haha).. played bowling (pathetic 56).. played pool (was YC's and my lucky day..).. had a nap.. had barbequed dinner.. talked crap with Sher, Fung and feasible CK (not redundant one), played bridge with some people.. watched Lost (the new tv series about surviving in a remote island after a plane crash).
slept...
june 10, 2005woke up at 8AM.. checked out from chalet.. had breakfast at Macs.. arrived in hostel.. slept.. woke up.. slept again.. woke up.. slept..
