My parents made plans to go to Penang, Malaysia, 2 weeks from now. Uncle David's family will be going with us too! That measns Jia Yan too, yay!! I'll have a shopping partner for the trip (: And maybe we'll catch Twilight there too!
I bet a small portion of the total revenue earned from Twilight (the movie) tickets in Malaysia actually come from Singaporeans who simply cannot wait till 18 December. Just wonder if this will affect Singapore's (weekend) box office?
I got the soundtrack today(: am pleased with myself!
Now for last week's activities - ugh no, I haven't been studying. The guilt is starting to settle.
Tuesday night, 25 Nov, Jia Yan's birthday BBQ
Haha, it was that girl's turn to hit 17. Fellow OLM/BLG friend (:
BLG was at her house for a barbecue, so were her ex-classmates Alynn LinYi Lizzie Joanne, her ahem ahem Shawn, her cell mate Derrick, and her current school friends whose names I don't know. It was a little weird to have the different groups of people together at the same time because we weren't very sociable or approchable.
Ok, we PL lites did talk a bit among ourselves. The guys talked among themselves too. Derrick felt a little out of place but was at ease with the guys and OLM I guess. I think the birthday girl enjoyed herself (: But it was a pity that nobody stayed over at her house.. she had intended it to be a sleepover. I would have if I could!
There was a lot of cam-whoring. Typical PLite.
Wednesday/Thursday 26/27 Nov, Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon Race Kit Packing
That was my first time doing such a thing, and boy, it was tiring!
Claire and I went to expo hall 7 to do this with other youths and a few aunties and one old uncle. The first day was HOT as in WARM and well, like madness. We took about 5 hours to pack 300 packs each. Absurd. Then for the next 150 sets we were rushing them through like mad, like it was some kinda competition. After that it was labour work, transferring stuff into the drawers, carrying them to be slotted into the drawer frames and then recording the number of the first and last bibs on the drawer. I perspired. Yucks. That was a long day, but we got $20.
Then we went to walk around hall 4 with the John Little sale, took a really long time exploring that place. And to the airport for dinner.
The second day was pretty much the same, just that we did things a lot faster and got more packs packed. Again, we went to to hall 4, then to Bedok's macs for dinner. Yay. Another $20.
That's two full days with Claire. OME. (oh my Edward ;)
Friday, 28 Nov, TJC/SAJC/SASS Choir Concert
Xi Ying and I went to support Hilary by turning up at TJC. Fiona was supposed to come, but she didn't go in the end!
I think the concert was like, okayyyyyyyy, nothing much. Sorry! Maybe it would have brought out a different kind of effect and feeling if it was held in another location, like a proper concert hall. It's like how we refused to have Spirito in LT4. I think I was too busy observing the choir members than paying attention to the pieces they were singing! I didn't understand what they were singing--apart from Amen, Yesus, and the christmas carols.
Hilary was being SO Hil. So not feminine enough.
I saw Marcus there! My classmate, who looked like he had makeup on with his black shirt-and-berms ensemble.
We went to the Bedok hawker centre for dinner/supper.. I'm determined to go back there again, the food is so good!!
Saturday, 29 Nov, CO Practice and Xi Ying's Concert
The attendance that day was pathetic to the max, really, I wanted to go up to Ms Too and beg her to cancel the practice. Tanbo - 2; Xianyue - 4; Percussion/Yangqin - 3; Guanyue - 5; Cello/Bass - 0. So there you go, 14 ppl for combined prac. Fantastic.
It was more of a chit-chat session with the conductor, then he ranted about how awful Scenic Jiangnan is, we laughed a lot at Ken, and.. surprisingly, we could play luanyunfei with a CO that small.
Serene, Janet and I stayed behind till 5.30, sort of doing stock check for scores. We took out the 3 drawers full of scores, but couldn't put them back -.- Thankfully, the guys Lukas Irvin and Michael were there (finally BEING guys), so Luke and Mike were at the forefront of the Battle of the Drawers.
Then I made my way down to City Hall MRT to meet Alexia and Joyce Lee, where we proceeded to VCH and met Fiona and CS there. Helped Xi Ying with her makeup (:
That concert is an annual one put up by Edvox Musix School.
Unlike normal concerts, this one does admit children below 6 so it didn't feel like concert because the kids' short attention span leading to the whining they made which pretty much interrupted the concert. The kids on stage were really cute, prancing and fidgeting about..
Of course, Xi Ying was great! Her first piano solo! So proud of her (: The rest of us who were sitting in the audience were too. Haha, Joyce (Lee) got so excited she tried to take pictures when it wasn't allowed.
The concert ended on a high note with their orchestra (purely strings + a bit of percussion), which was interesting. I personally liked the cello's Minuet in G (if i remember correctly) and, gaah, basically all the classical pieces that night.
It was dinner/supper again, this time at Macs!
Got home at 11 plus. Yawns.
Sunday, 30 Nov, Expo with XY and Jace
Yeah, we 'shopped' at the John Little sale.. Spent the most time lingering at the lingerie section, followed by the women's clothing. Wooooh. They really SHOULD have fitting rooms!
All of us bought something in the end, queuing at the killer queues at the cashier.
Dinner/supper was at Subway. I'm craving for it now. Mmmm.
