gosh.
today was my impromptu speech.
gah, i don't know if i did well.
i didn't exactly stumble, but i think i had a little bit of stage fright.
so, the first register number called was 9, & she talked about her topic, which was, uhhh, wait.
wait.
wait.
i rmbr it.
i seriously know this.
oh, wait.
then again, maybe i've forgotten. XD
i did some "calculations", & i found out, i was the next to go.
it's not like Mrs Wong has a pattern, in her numbers, just somehow, i knew.
my partner even said "it's going to be your turn."
all i can say was "i know."
& yes, she did say "16."
off i go.
standing in front.
with 38 pairs of eyes looking at me.
plus Mrs Wong's.
stage fright-ed.
i got my topic; "a recent public performance you were involved".
its suppose to be easy, i guess.
& i stood there, for 2 minutes, thinking about it, with an innocent look, while evryone else, is just waiting, waiting for me to start.
i started off quite okay.
describing about my SYF involvement, in band. :D
how it all started.
from hating the hectic schedule, to actually loving band for what it is because it was worth it.
stating that there were moments when we cried.
then suddenly, it all came back to me.
somehow, i forgotten that i was presenting it.
that's when i think, my voice went softer and softer.
i even mentioned my sectional leader who sobbed..
i don't know how & why, suddenly, weird feelings overcame me.
i was sad-ded. (not a word)
the last few words, i realised my voice kind of cracked.
but, it was only for me to know.
rather certain nobody noticed it.
what can i say?
thinking about SYF, it brought back how it felt like when it was a "silver".
whatever we've gone through.
how hard our band leaders tried.
Vivien actually cried, when she was strong all along.
band just meant a lot to me.
it really is, to me.
:D[ im tired of waitin' ]

HELLOOOOOOOOO!

so, today, we had our CIP at Red Cross Home for the Disabled.
me & shira wore our CAP shirt. haha.
somebody in the bus said, "semangat sey pakai baju tu."
haha. still, i don't want to be in the same bus as ....
to make things worse, we were like in front of .....
i didn't want to move back but Dhiyyah asked me too.
glad that Syafiqah's hand was beside me. ;DD
inevitably, there were some quiet moments in the bus ride when i suddenly thought of certain events at CAP.
sweet memories, and some not so sweet memories as well.
and wow, we had such a difficult time finding that home.
who knows it was so secluded?
it almost look scary.
some part of the building practically went into the forest.
me, shira & dhiyyah sang "Love is Blind" since we left the bus. ((:
when we try to open the gates, i felt like we were in a haunted movie or smth.
something-something-something happened.
we went to our first "target".
his name was Christopher and he was 52.
he was 1 out of a few of those who can respond in that home.
though he had blurred speech.
so we played 'guess who?".
everyone played.
but there was a time, when it was Syafiqah's turn, when Christopher tried to say something but we couldn't figure out what it is.
then i saw that Syafiqah's card was facing him.
when Wee Kiat tries to turn the card, Christopher suddenly burst out laughing.
and when i say, burst out laughing, i really mean it.
he had a piercing scream.
Syafiqah was so shocked, she practically jumped.
like Syafiqah, we were so "lemah-semangat-ed" that i wanted to cry.
she said it too.
seriously ahh.
it was like "mengilai-ing".
like a ____.
anyway, besides that, we find another target.
it was KUMAR.
he was the only one who was able to move around, with the help of his electric wheel-chair.
when we saw him, we wanted to talked to him, that he went the other way.
Syafiqah, look stupid enough, and run behind him.
haha, lol.
then we decided to confront him, then suddenly we saw him past through the rooms. we were at the corridor.
wow, clever.
finally, we "caught" him and we talked to him.
his speech was totally fine.
in fact, he's schooling at an International School.
talked to him for like an hour ++.
when we wanted to go home, we said goodbye to Christopher.
and then, he said "when are you coming back?"
though blur, we could still figure that out.
Shira said "maybe, we're coming back."
but he kept asking the same question.
i was, like, going to cry, so i went out of the room and Shira & Silas handled the rest.
then, we bus-ed home. (:[ im tired of waitin' ]

Most of you probably knows that today my class did a huge apology to Mrs Wong.
if you went past 01 classroom, that is.
even at the staircase, you can see them.
those little tiny notes of "sorry".
If you are wondering why, its because my class lied to her.
& YES, the WHOLE class. let me repeat again. the WHOLE 39-students class.
Hard to believe, RIGHT?
Guess this is what they say ‘we’re all in this together’.
but this time, it ain't something nice.


This is a list of what happened:
>The back of the class had ‘Mrs Wong please forgive us. We promise we will never do it again’
they were in BOLD BOLD letters.
big enough for anybody who's not blind to see.

>The whiteboard had our apology written on it. ALL OVER THE PLACE.
in different languages even.
there was French, Japanese.
Khai even wrote them in Chinese.
not just in chinese, but the characters.
wow, right?

>At the staircase had a few notes of apology for her.
courtesy of me, Syaf & Dhiyyah.

I saw Mrs Wong smile.
But it was no time to feel relieved.
Me & Syiqa had to take out all the little notes on the staircase.
so, when Syaf saw that Mrs Wong was downstairs, she grabbed me and we went to the toilet on the 2nd floor.
two 206 guys, offered us help.
one of them asked "do you want us to help?"
Syaf agreed.
"when i showed this(the thumbs up sign), that means, she past already."
so we waited.
then the two guys moved up front and began talking to Mrs Wong, and one of the guys moved back, and gave us the signal that she went up.
like people infected with mad-cow disease (though i don't know what it meant), we went from the first floor and tore out every single "sorry" notes.
thanks, to the 206 guys.
Mrs Wong went in and said "how could i not forgive my own class?", with a smile.
we cheered.
never did i felt, how great, my class actually is, when we put aside our differences. :D[ im tired of waitin' ]

8:25 PM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPOREEEEEEEEEEEE!

:DD[ im tired of waitin' ]

6:55 PM

201 freaking won!
haha, lol.
so, it's NDP celebrations, & it started off with the parade.
band was involved also, & i swear i was that close to fainting.
haha.
after singing melodiously (-_-) to a few songs, we were finally dismissed to prepare for the cheer comp.
rushed back to class where everyone was so busy doing... something. haha.
i got a red sock from Felicia, then Zhi Qing did my hair.
me & Shira were among the last to finish preparing everything, while our class alrdy went downstairs.
wah, we were super duper enthu la!
we were singing & dancing. haha.
205 was up first, & i can't help but think that their shirt "strip" was so similar to my class's cheer comp "auditions" to get to the final.
but anyway, we were so nervous.
forget nervous, we were bloody hell nervous. haha.
soon, it was our turn, & we took our positions.
i was alrdy shaking in the first place, cause there's only 2 lines on stage for the starting, while the rest slowly enter, & me and Shira, were the first for our respective rows.
so far, everything went well.
seeing the rest of the class, made me forget my moves. haha.
i almost went down when the class went down, until i saw Shira, & rmbred we had to do something else.
the 2 lines ( 4 people per line )were called "pariahs".
haha.
imagine if i actually went down, it will be super obvious. haha.
then it comes to the bottle beat.
it was kind of rushing, but i had fun.
it reminded me of the Creative Arts Programme.
"once a CAPper, always a CAPper."
i especially love the part where we sang "gimme gimme more, gimme more, gimme gimme more". haha.
then Khai & Asyraf did their solo dance. haha.
when we did our BP cheer, again, i almost forgot i had to go down.
i turned around & look at Dhiyyah, then she nod her head.
so my line went down, so did Shira's line, and we joined in front of the stage.
"we gonna win, win, win x 3, we gonna ooo-ooo-ooo, BOOM!"
Kelly released the "bomb" as the whole class turned around.
we waited till everyone applauded.
haha.
then we turned around, facing them, & did our surprise cheer.
".........
We laugh, we cry ( we did an expressive motion that we lowered our body, of crying, haha), we all say "Hi!",
Cause when we cheer is bye, bye, bye.."
our class did the moves, as we turned back again.
then my line & Shira line, that became one line (-_-), turned halfway, with our lower body still facing the back (so detailed, lol), & cheered the last words,
"bye, bye!"
me & Shira act so bitchy luh.
with our hand actions for "bye, bye". haha.

after a few songs, and cheer items, it was finally the results.
"third... 101, second... 202, & the winner for the lower sec catergory is.. 201!"
omg la.
we were super happy man.
haha.
we so proud that we cheered,
"potions, motions hear us roar,
no one's knocking at your door,
with no power,
with no zest,
all of you can kiss our ass."
haha, we all even slap our butts la.
LOL.
we did that cheer for the show too, but the 3 last lines were different;
"with more power,
with more zest,
we will strive for the best".

for one particular song, we rushed for the stage, but 206 beat us to it.
Syaf vs Hafiz, Ridz & Harsha.
LOL.
like seriously want to fight, like that.
haha.

we will so rmbr this day.
especially for me, Syaf, Dhiyyah & Shira.
writing the cheers wasn't easy, seriously.
teaching the class was not easy either, especially since the guys did not even want to listen.
the bottle beat, was quite hard to learn, but we're very happy that you guys got it.
& even though, we were not really credited for this, we're still very proud of the class.
rmbred that Shira & me wanted the bottle beat, i added the "gimme more", Khai wanted the dance, i wanted the "bye bye" cheer with Shira creating the final moves of it which was so cool, & we especially loved the starting.

"hear the heartbeat, feel the drumbeat, be the nations's beat" as the class moved on stage while doing the moves.
can't forget it la.
:D[ im tired of waitin' ]

2:24 PM

HEY!

so, today, my clique & Linda had to video the school singing the National Anthem during assembly.
i asked Mr Tan for the permission first. yep, him. the one EVERYONE feared. he agreed to it!
we set up at two places, the Science Lab & in the hall.
i was video-ing in the hall.
surprisingly, it all sounded soft.
obviously, i focused at my class a lot, haha.
when we looked at the recording again, we could only hear the music, not the singing.
oh, well.
i took the recording of their pledge as well.
we went back the other way, because we didn't want anyone to see us..
well, i think, that's the only thing that happened today.
BYE![ im tired of waitin' ]

2:23 PM

today was the egg relay race.
had to wake up early because i was involved in the performance.
band is so into school spirit! :D
we bus-ed there, & had to stand into two lines.
the camera started filming and we had to redo just walking into the stadium like 3 times.
haha.
we ate first, near the court.
while eating, Ms Zizi, stopped by our section, and said "there's only one rose among the thorns".
we all stared at her, because we didn't understand her.
haha.
well, i was the only girl, in my section then.
there were another 14 guys. 14 vs 1. haha.
Cindy came late, & Alvina (hate you) couldn't come.
so, after that we set up our positions first, then prepared for the race, behind the stadium.
it was such a last minute practice.
& it was my FIRST practice. 'cause i'm so good. ((:
i was the first 50, which consists of band members.
i was like shivering ah.
it was finally my turn, & i walked, at an okay speed.
seriously, nobody had drop any eggs so, i don't want to be the first. EVERYONE in my school that was present would have their eyes looking at me, & if i dropped the egg, it would be so.. umm.. paiseyh? yep, that's the word.
i was just walking happily, when i heard somebody shouted a name.
"*****!" (wonder who that is, that shouted that)
if you know good, but don't know too bad.
i was seriously shocked, & i stumbled a bit.
but i didn't lose focus, & yea, made it, WITHOUT dropping the egg.
yay me!
after a while, we started playing our songs.
most of them were from SYF but some were new songs.
like quite new.
but we played, anyway.
we LOST, but hey, we still got the prize for the most creative.
i saw the guys in my school
-wearing mascot; sumo, fish, etc.
-solving Rubik's cube while looking at the egg.
-twirling a file.
so, quite cool bah.
it was quite enjoyable, & had to bus-ed our way back school.
