today

Ok today was quite a busy day, but actually it was kind of fun too. In the morning we had CCAO, and tanbo was a bit maluated cos in their introduction for the different sections tanbo is first, and at first they told us that when they introduce a section, the section is supposed to play something. But then after that they keep running out of time and skipping the other section's playing, so about 3 or 4 times tanbo stupidly played something whereas the other sections didn't, since the introducing person always never tell us not to play and will actually pause and look at us, thus MISLEADING us into believing that we had to play something. And the worse part is that we always cannot decide what to play, and played very not together. So we made a fool of ourselves so many times. I felt super maluated.

And the concert was like quite screwed, but I supposed overall we can kind of cheat most of the audience. But seriously it is not advisable to make an orchestra play a song which they sight-read 4 days before, and which we played through a total of 4 times, not to mention that a large number of people were not present for that practice. Or if we had to play it, at least not at such a crazy speed that made everyone die a painful death. I totally 混 my way through the fast part can. It's like i can hear my playing being absolutely off from what others are playing, but i just anyhow scramble through and somehow manage to end at the same time as everyone else. Plus I screwed one chord part plus the ending cos there are so many repeat signs that i got seriously confused, and i mean i was not exactly very familiar with the song either. But it was really funny when at the end i suddenly realised that they were playing the ending and i was not, and so in the middle of playing i suddenly jerked my hand into the air to seem like i ended together with everyone else!

Tienli, weiyi and tingwei were all complaining that they didn't want to perform cos they only started practising the song today. But I forced them to go cos otherwise i would the only one left! And not like i play the song very well either. After the concert there were no one coming in to the booth so we kind of slacked for a while and then left for sectional lunch. And during lunch there was a very annoying episode, but well all that i can say is that my conscience is clear and that you are just a coward if you say bad stuff about me behind my back and don't dare to come tell me straight to my face. But anyway that won't be my problem for much longer, I just hope that whoever ends up with it won't get too bothered! And i realised that you can try to be nice to everyone, but sometimes people will still dislike you a lot for some unknown reason.

After lunch i rushed off to bedok to meet wanting cos we had to meet an NParks guy at East Coast Park about CmPS. On the way there i was calling one person after another cos of CmPS. I wonder how it turned out. But anyway the NParks guy didn't look the way we thought he would. Wanting said that she expected him to be in a Park shirt or something, and actually I thought he would be in office attire. But well, he's a very nice guy! Even though i must say he does have a lot of gel in his hair. :) Ah and the highlight of the day is that he let us sit in his park ranger's buggy thingy to look at locations for our booth. You know the small vehicle thing that people drive around in parks. IT WAS SO COOL! Even though wanting and i kind of squeezed a bit cos the vehicle is a 2-seater. I hope we will get to sit on it again!

Before i went home i went "shopping" in Lot 1 and ended up carrying A LOT of stuff. I already had my court shoes, and i went to popular to buy a portable hole-punch (for my cute doggy file!) plus the transparent plastic thing to wrap books (also for my cute doggy file). And actually before i went popular i was in ntuc, but i suddenly remembered that i had to buy these stuff, so i put my basket in a corner and went off, then after popular i went back to find my basket to continue my ntuc shopping. :) I had to buy shampoo and bath soap, cos my shampoo ran out days ago and the bath soap is going to finish soon. You know i asked my mum to buy the shampoo but she REFUSED cos she said i didn't pack my sec3 stuff into the storeroom. Like, seriously! In the end i had to take turns rinsing out all 3 of the shampoo bottles standing in my bathroom when i shower each day, cos i always forgot/had no time/had no money to go buy shampoo. How pathetic.

And after popular and ntuc, i went subway to buy my dinner. For once i bought a student meal, cos the sandwich choices they give you for student meal is so limited. But today i decided to try to new flavour, so i hope the cold cut trio sandwich lying in front of me now will turn out to be nice! Oh i embarassed myself again today. Cos after i asked them for a plastic bag for my drink i realised that the plastic bag was stuck in the middle, so i thought it was spoilt and went to tell them that the plastic bag cannot open. And the subway person gave me this weird look and told me that it was for the drink, then i suddenly realised that it was meant to be like that! So i quickly said thanks and ran away sheepishly.

And cos of buying so many stuff i had a lot of plastic bags to carry, not to mention my own "school" bag. Even after combining some bags i still ended up with a load of bags on each hand. I think i look like a housewife who just shopping or something. -_-

Hmm tomorrow is new year eve. If i remember, i will post something. Like new year resolution or something. But then i may not have time. Or i may forget or simply can't be bothered to. Ok whatever shall go eat dinner then start chionging last-minute holiday homework. :)
