it's been another sunday come and gone, and at least today was a good one. :P i shall outline my day
i woke up at the unholy hour of 6 (on a sunday?!) to get out for CIP in marina promenade. reached there at an equally horrible 0645 (city hall mrt, i mean), when i was supp to meet kimsoon and huiming at 0715. hai. the disgusting punctuality freak in me can't be late la. then after much waiting, kimsoon turned up. luckily i had a book to read. hui ming was VERY late. sigh. can't really understand why ppl leave themselves less rather than more time to get outta the hse. i don't like making ppl wait, so i rather be early and wait -which is usually the case- than let ppl wait for me. bleah.
then we trekked to the promenade. it's this long stretch of land bordering the river. the event itself was under this huge bridge. we were assigned a booth and then proceeded to stone for 2 hours. then i saw many fellow angklung ppl like nurul, ming hui, linda and amanda. strange, i thought ly was going too. ohwell. who cares. this weird woman told us to drink as much newater and orange juice as we cld... so funny. lol. then i think we're gonna get CIP hours for doing nothing, which is qt a good trade off la.
we, the sad trio signed out at ten and made our way to suntec after a heated debate which went sth like this
me: suntec or raffles city?
huiming: anything la...
me (to kimsoon): then you make a decision. raffles or suntec?
ks: whatever la, i anything oso can.
etc, etc.
lol. so in the end, we went to suntec. ate at bk, where i was stuffed after sharing a meal with huiming. not good time to compare disparity in appetites, i think... lol. then we went to walk ard cos we were really full (at least huiming and me were. can't say anything for the other entity in our entourage.) we wanted to make life difficult for ks, so hui ming was like, let's go this fashion. lol. then we went to carrefour, where i saw so many keyboards! -jumps for joy- it's like letting a kid loose in toys 'r us. haha then i went crazy over this casio piano which frankly isn't so good. it isn't very touch sensitive, not very good la. but it has this record function that fascinated ks and huiming. lol, they kept recording weird stuff. like, they treated me like a song request machine and then i tried to churn out whatever they wanted to hear la. what IS the flight of the bumblebees? or is it sth else? i feel dumb, not knowing what song that is. i can only mimic, and not very realistically at that. i was thinking, if they think i'm good, they shld see NAFA kids. sigh. i just happen to be able to pitch okay, so i can figure the keys out. and if i like the song i heard, i can usually reproduce a fascimile of the melody. if it isn't LP la. sorry, huiming, i really can't do much on that kinda music. not my type, i guess. so we whiled away an hour? cld have been more. i tested out my rusty skills on the piano, serves me right for not putting in the hour i'm supp to be everyday and skimping on the time i put to the piano. die, exam's in august. maybe i shldn't have signed up this yr, but i'd still need to do it sometime and i tink i'm only gonna get busier. sigh. the only requirements i have for a keyboard is actually 1. 76 keys and 2. touch response/sensitivity. that's not so much right?
haha i'm gonna add to my wishlist. eeling reminded me
11. a new pair of slippers, sorry ger i wrecked the ones you gave me. :P
12. the darlin portable qi set that i coveted from the moment i stepped into the qi hui
sigh. i'm so greedy. lol, but i can wish all i want right?
then after we bonked the piano (or rather i did most of the bonking and the two of them tortured me with the playback function) we met up with hui and co and went to sakae. i was like stoning there with my cup of water and playing camera woman. i actually took a very nice video of everyone there but then ellyn the itchy fingers erased it. nvm, i took nice shots of everyone. nice = no blurry. and i confiscated huimings cam cos she wanted to take a pic of me. horrendous. i can't photograph for nuts loh... i can only digitally master my looks till they look somewhat presentable. lol. if anyone wants a photoshop makeover, yeah i can do that but if you want a picture of me, you're just gonna hafta make do with my digital archives. no taking pix of me. i look either retarded, stupefied or both. or worse. sigh.
then i was like rushing back to bishan cos i promised jacq -hai, last time i promise her anything man- i'd be there or die a sorry death and so i wanted to catch as many seniors as possible. sigh, shurui was sick. but chiew yi and ee were there! haha you two look great as usual. on the way there in the train though, ellyn ks and me as usual were talking crap. it's like ks has another nick, clam. it came abt cos in cold weather, clams become female, in hot, they become males. then pradz asked him if he was feeling hot/warm, then he said warm. lol... haha then now my kor is always being teased by ellyn, who calls him "ah yi" (aunt) instead of uncle. sigh, what to do? jenn was right when she said he's in touch with his feminine side hmmm? :P sorry kor. at least i call you kor and not jie right? i already have a jie and i'll only have ONE. so now i have a jie and kor, di di and mei mei. woooooooo. haha that's good. throughout the day, the catchphrase was like "only one way to find out". haha then the 1st time it was used was when huiming asked ks if i'm ticklish and he said that. i immediately started moving far far away. then in the train, somehow we were talking abt uniforms and how ks looked in mine. priceless. he reiterated that it was pectorals jill saw, not -insert part of female anatomy-. then i said "only one way to find out...." upon which he gave me this really shocked/stunned/disbelieving/insulted look. lol, so funny! ellyn and me started laughing. kk i hafta type it out clearer. it was like this
ks: jillian was talking abt my pectorals, not my *koff koff* i don't have them!
me: only one way to find out, right?
then i wonder why the two of them stare at me yeah?
lol. then i realised ks's shoulder has a lot more knobs and whatnot than a girl's. so uncomfortable to lean on. cos in the train, i was in the middle of ellyn and ks, then in the middle suddenly felt tired. i patted my kor's shoulder and tried to make a pillow there. i mean, ellyn confirm cannot be pillow liao. sorry la, but ellyn, you said so urself you're a bag of bones. it'd be like leaning on wei yang - painful. so i tried to lean on my kor, but cldn't. and i wasn't high from not sleeping loh. i was just kinda hyper today, dunno why.
k that's abt it. then i watched a pretty late show of haunted mansion at greg's bequest. it's not bad, qt entertaining, but i got freaked out at some parts. lol i'm a chicken. sigh.

well, today was SUPPOSED to be the class outing, but it turned out to be a 156 gang outing, almost. the quartet went to ps, watched big fish, which is VERY nice. i loved it. i read the book so long ago i forgot what happened already. sigh. it's soooooooooo nice. i cannot emphasise enough how nice it is. :D then we were joined by jaryl, went to eat at the food court, where i will nv cease to marvel at the ability of guys to eat. unhinged jaws or sth, which is faintly reminiscent of artemis fowl. lol. then after stuffing ourselves, we went to the arcade, where we tried to force ks to dance para para. lol, duh he wldnt, but he danced ddr with us all. wahahaha... so funny! but i'm super super rusty now. haven't danced for what? 2years? and i nv danced the songs that were chosen then. lol, it was a diff version altogether. and only ks and i had done it before, even so, we made everyone else try. i suck now la, if ger and greg cld see me they'd laugh. lol, i'd be asking for it too! who ask me to go dance when i'm outta practice? sigh. after totally embarrassing myself, we went to carrefour to plonk on the piano again. this time i made sure there was no record function. aha, can't catch me there. i've got my eye on the psr k1 in yamaha, it's not the 9000pro but it'll do. mmm. now to convince dad that 700plus is a come down from the 1000 odd i wanted at first. whatever.
then hui ghee came to my house, we stoned ard then i tried to help her with transposition. tried cos i tink i was more bother than help. i was stoning ard, slacking, thanking whatever merciful angels who are watching over me i didn't get into choir cos i'd get -evicted- as soon as they looked at me. lol. it's so bad, the way they bully my jie loh. feel so pissed for her. like, they just shoved all the work to her and it isn't easy okay. sigh, nvm. got it done in the end and she cabbed home. end of monday.

i'm counting down to my birthday -for all those dodos who haven't realised- haha mom asked me what i wanted for my bdae since dad's getting me a keyboard then i was like -scratch head- don't know. yeah man, she made me her guinea pig tonight. wails at my hands. i cut my nails earlier cos i had music class -which i totally didn't practise for- screwed my scales, btw. and the beethoven piece. sigh. then mom decided she wanted to play manicurist then she used me as a model. now my hands are purple with flowers. sigh. sigh. sigh. now i gotta put up with it till sun. my nails are so stubby already, why wld anyone bother with em? didn't do anything constructive today. -shakes head at self- waiting till i can go online and put this up. i'm dying from net withdrawal.
kor: don't care what you say, i'm not touching your cooking with a ten foot pitchfork. lucky you dare to eat it at least yeah? haha tmr we'll see who's later... go camp at j8 if you want, i don't care! haha. goodness knows when you'll see this too. nites, bet you're sleeping already anw.
jie: sorry, i can't answer ur poll qn. i ain't desperate enough. plus you know me well enough to realise i wldnt do that even if my life depended on it. okay, maybe then. but it doesn't yeah? i guess you don't rmb what i'm rubbish-ing abt by the time you read this too! sigh.
