READ THE PREVIOUS POST BEFORE THIS ONE.UWAH MY GOODNESS. today was totally... I dunno. not sure how to explain it.
it was really very amazing, yet sad, yet happy, and everything...
the matinee sucked though. i much preferred the night concert.
i like told them back home that they should have come for the night show.
but then they said i also didn't have enough tickets anyway.
and i realised something once again... our choir is really notorious for pulling off last minute miracles! haha, so i guess i'll start elaborating on the day now.
pei ru came over to my house at about 8, and my mom drove us there, so we reached at around 8:40? yeah.
i forgot to tell her it was near bras basar and waterloo, so she went to the ancient civilizations museum next to VCH.
she was really pissed at me. zomg, so paiseh.
i'm only glad my dad wasnt the one who was sending me.
so we were wandering around aimlessly, and found a really stinky toilet in which i refused to change in, before going into the main reception area and going out the other side where we found a cleaner toilet.
but we went back into the main reception anyway, where we saw this two security guards who looked at us as if we had just phased through the walls.
he like asked us how we got in, and pei ru was like, "uhh, the door?" then he turned around and started scolding the cleaner for not closing the door properly, because maybe he was afraid we might steal some "priceless" ugly art piece or something.
then he promptly began to usher us out. though chasing would be a better way to say it.
right before allowing us back in about 2 minutes later.
where by then christel had arrived.
so, the 3 of us went in to change in the cleaner toilets inside that weren't stinky after checking out the chapel place where we would be singing.
I was appalled, but i shall elaborate more on that later.
the toilet floor was damp, because apparently someone had been mopping there.
when we came out, this guy outside started making a lot of noise, chasing us out, before going in to clean.
i guess he'd been the one who was mopping earlier.yeah then when we came back out, we saw a lot more people there already, like alex and a few PRCs and some guys.
issac looked like some fishmonger cos he rolled up his shirt sleeves and pant legs, lol.
pei ru thought that most of them looked like construction workers, HAHA.
more and more ppl started coming, and we were re-telling our above-mentioned story many many times :D
i was wondering if i should give out the presents first, but decided that i might as well do it like after the whole thing to make a lasting impression! :D haha.
then, at around 9:45 like that christina came with sheryl, carrying this huge bag like she was going camping, LOL.
sheryl was holding this plastic bag of the necklaces, red yellow and green, which i thought i could survive with, although i would have much preferred wearing skinny ties.
then the guy came out and was like asking us to keep quiet and 'upkeep the image of the museum' as if we were very... very whatever.
did i mention that pei ru said i looked like some working person cos i was wearing the black shirt and jeans there before i changed? lol random.
anyway, ms ng asked us to like walk to the other side and 'conceal ourselves'.
we weren't allowed to even walk past the main entrance.we were asked to choose a spot for our section to take photos.
so the juniors went to change, and realised that we couldn't walk the short way via the front entrance, so we began to walk in the opposite direction to take the long way when the person finally let us in.
i wanted to throttle him. my heels were starting to kill me.
don't ask me how i survived the whole ordeal.
so anyway, we went upstairs to change in MUCH NICER TOILETS *glares at the stinky toilet*
ha ha.
then i frickin had to pin up my fringe.
i swear, i wanted to kill something then and there.
so when i pinned it up, denise and zann kept playing with the racoon tail, ha ha.
then we took random pictures with christina's camera, yupyup.
the pix are prolly on christina's blog, so i think you can just mouse over there... cos i'm just too lazy. ha ha.
then we took the group photo, the 'official' one that ms ng took.
it was quite fun lah, the informal one was quite cute; peeking out from the pillars.
then we went for lunch, was UBER RUSH.
i went to dome, with pei ru, christel and tiffany.
i was scared there would be no time cos we were only allocated frickin 30 min, and we had already wasted 5 changing, and 5 getting to dome and ordering.
and so... i just ordered mushroom soup, and tiffany had some sort of carbonara, pei ru also had a pasta, and christel had this weird squid ink pasta.
which i think is totally overrated because the squid ink only dyes the pasta black, and has no taste.
and it took the longest, of all our orders, haha.
mine came first, then pei ru's, then tiffany's (which she scarfed down, haha), and finally christel's.
ms ng gave us another 5 min, but in the end, we still were 5 min late.
then we did a tech. run though, before a short 10 min interval before the actual show.
it really sucked, the matinee.
but the highlight of the atrocities we produced, was during adieu, when the tenors couldn't come in for the G.
ms yin said that that was exactly the part in her dream where we went wrong!
lol, we were saying that she had ESP :D
a longer break after that, followed by dinner.
i practically survived on fluids that day - i had a caramel milkshake at coffee bean :D
it was d.e.l.i.ci.o.u.s. :DDD
haha, pei ru and christina left early, because i think they were getting embarassed by tiffany.
she was really... ahem.
did i mention she was being really... obnoxious at dome?
she was seriously harrassing the waitress.
and who ever heard of 'ordering the bill'?
and standing up to go over to the counter to check your order yourself?
i mean, that way, you totally deprive the waiters and waitresses of their whole reason to be.
which is, of course, to serve you, while you sit comfortably in the chair.
anyway, i was getting irritated by her again at coffee bean.
so i switched tables over to yun shi and wilda.
haha. we talked... and i gave them the present early.
in case i wouldn't get the chance later.
then i went back to SAM, and changed into my gown, touched up makeup, etc.
then i borrowed christel's iPhone to play the game trace :D
so fun!
haha.
then, before i knew it, it was time to perform again!
it went better, this time, and the changing was as hectic as ever.
yeah, so that's basically it...
the night performance was much more packed...
the encore was still majorly called for by our seniors (again) haha.
which i don't think should really count.
oh yes, i gave mr loh, ms ng, and ms yin flowers :D
those 'toy' flowers... the fluffy ones stuffed with polyester.
at first i was pretty much apprehensive about giving mr loh the flowers.
haha, but it was okay lah, in the end... I THINK. haha.
then i found ms yin and gave her the flowers+card.
i sorta couldn't find the cards for mr loh and ms ng, but i was rushing, so... oh well.
ms yin gave me a hug, aww.
i will miss her lots, really.
then i gave the remaining flowers to ms ng, before leaving.
yeah... so i reached home about 10++, computered for awhile, then watched lotsa TV :D
ah well, i guess this is it.
here marks the end of my amazing saga in the chapter of my life marked CCHMS Choir.
yup. i will definitely miss choir.
but seriously... i don't think it will be anything short of a miracle should they even get a gold at SYF next year.
oh wells.
byebye :D
haha i gots an early birthday present!
heehee.
my dad offered to give me my present early too.
i think he's more eager to give me the present than i am to get the present, haha
but i didn't want to accept the present, because i have a tendency to forget presents that i don't open on the birthday day itself and all.
haha.
dont worry pei ru, i will
try to remember! lol :D
oh and i'm getting my salary tomorrow as well :D haha.
choir was considerably good today.
if we continue progressing like this, i think we just might be able to pull off a barely average concert on thursday.
PROVIDED they buck up.
but i couldn't help but notice that they do not give marilyn and christina proper respect, because when they were conducting, they were like not singing properly and like ignoring them.
even yanning was like commenting on how different we soung when ms yin conducts us.
speaking of which, i have yet to sell any of my tickets.
and i am pissed.
i asked rachel and she said she might if i buy tickets for
her ballet concet at the end of the year, haha.
fair exchange.
ooh, going suntec tomorrow! haha
with the usual clique.
hope choir ends on time tomorrow, otherwise mght have to leave early.
don't like having to walk out halfway and have ms yin glare at me :/
she's scary.
but seriously, without her, i think this choir will probably be much worse.
i mean, she like really puts in a ton of effort, whereas the sucky junoirs like don't give a shite.
the juniors from
HELL.
fabricating stupid lies about dental appointments and tuition.
what is their fricking problem, being over-consciencous bastards preparing for next year's syllabus.
if there's anyone who should be preparing and all, it is yours truly.
jumping to TA is a big leap.
and sec one to sec two isn't a very big step.
and maybe christel and tiffany who are going to NUS High, the bastards :D
ahh, i'm still unsure if i can go to christel's house this friday.
becuase it's like um, like how pei ru put it, the last AFF gathering and all.
yeah. but not sure if my dad will let me go.
my ma will prolly let me go though.
grah, danged mosquitoes.
there's like, a sudden influx of mosquitoes in my house.
i got like thousands to bites DDDDD:
grah. DIE!
aiyah, need to wake up early for choir tomorrow.
bye byes :D
