Went for band practice on Friday at republic poly. It was the practice at the location for SHINE2013, so we needed to be prepared for the actual day. A bad bad practice because I couldn't keep up, and I wasn't familiar with the scores yet. The band also wasn't confident being on stage. They didn't look at the conductor, they missed beats and tempo, they weren't playing out. I think it's stage fright. Big time.
Anyway, I took the lorry from NBSS to RP with Tiffany Halim. I did all the talking (though I didn't know that I was so conversant) with the Chinese driver uncle. The lorry was sooooo warm inside, the aircon wasn't working and the sun was shining through the windscreen. After our practice time at RP, I went left for home first with Tiffany since the band was just gonna get scolded when they reached back at school. Told the conductors that I would stay if they wanted me to, but that I'd like to go back home and practice the scores. I cycled the all the way home. When I reached home, I realized that I had lost e dust cap for my iTouch's charging thingy. Oh well. It never was a good fit.
Friday morning, I woke up at around 11am. Supposed to go to Mustafa to get a black dress shirt for SHINE2013 since that is the attire for the alumnus and seniors. Didn't find a nice one, so we (mom and i) went over to John Little at city square mall. Found a slim fit one, then picked up a light blue striped dress shirt as well cuz mom said I looked nice in it (I don't know anything about dressing people up. That's why I have mom and jie. I'm bad with colors. So if I dress badly, or not so nicely, it's either cuz I was lazy to pick out something nice, or I don't know what I match what with what. I don't have that Sixth Sense of knowing what looks nice with what; I need to memories that stuff). Picked up two belt as well for $18. Supposed to be $12 each, but since it's two of the same design, it was cut down to $9 each.
We ended that trip at like....6ish-pm. Told Jack that I'd be late for the chalet since I was supposed to meet him at 5pm with the others. But he said that they're gonna check in a bit later, and I said that I'd be there around 7pm. Reached home then left quickly because I had my bag packed already. I messed up on the way there since I took the bus route (which I was totally unfamiliar with because I always take the train) rather than the train. Reached Costa Sands Resort at 9pm or so. Late like SIAO. Jace and jack were marinating the chicken wings, but Jack was like adding the seasoning in wrong amounts. GOOD THING I WAS THERE HAHAHHAHA. So I helped out with the marinating. Then others started to come, and then at midnight....WE WATCHED "NOW YOU SEE ME" AT 12:15AM HAHHAHAHAHA. The show is SUPER NICE sia!! WALAO. Claire said that I'd be mind blown. YES I GOT MIND BLASTED. It's a SUPER good show ohmygosh.
Anyways. Wanna watch "Man of Steel" someday. I probably have a date in mind, but needa see how lah. So...went back to the chalet at like 2+am, played "King's Game" with the fellas until 4am. Slept for 3+hrs, woke up at 7.30am because my body said to, then walked about the chalet. Sat at the pool enjoying sky and scene (check out my instag for pictures) then headed out to get breakfast soon after. Ordered McGridle or something like that. I was still feeling groggy and tired, but when the cashier passed me my breakfast with such a nice friendly smile and cheery tone, it brightened up my morning so much. That simple experience led to the picture on Instagram that I posted about the long windy and rough journey. I really like it when people help along the way.
Anyway, I took my breakfast to the beach. Sat on a dyke (is that what it's called?) facing sea-ward. The sun started to peek through the clouds for a while, then BOOOOOM it was super hot after the clouds went away. Stayed on through till my breakfast was done, then went back to the chalet. WALAO THE FELLAS WERE STILL SLEEPING LORH AIYOH PIGS. They slowly woke up one by one. Then they skipped lunch to get groceries for the barbecue. Then some of us played Nerf Wars (we bought the guns hahaha) then after a while, headed back to the chalet to help with the barbecue.
We missed 태요, Fidelia, Nikki, some of the Chinese, Fayahida, Siddhani, and quite a few others too. At least Jace was there!! Though she didn't stay overnight. But it's okay. I enjoy being in her company. Miss Chia didn't come since she had plans on already. Wish she could come though. It would be sooooooo fun hahhaha. I showered after the barbecue, then left a while after. I FELT SO CLEAN HAHAHHAHA. Xin xiang was helping out with the barbecue. He's a really nice guy!! I never really talked to him in school cuz he was from another class and we never really met officially. But he's really nice...barbecued for everybody. I had to make sure he was eating so yeah I asked him now and then. I left at like...10ish-pm, and since I took the train home, I reached back home a bit after 12am.
Sunday started early for me!! I ran through today's Gospel Principles class again while on the way home while listening to MoTab hahaha. I found new things to bring up during class. But today's class was SO BIG, I panicked and forgot quite a good number of things that I wanted to say. I ended 5minutes early, but it was okay since the timing was rather good.
Saw Jeremy too, a guy from San Fran. He's 24 years old but easily passes off as my age. He attended Elder's Quorum. While we were having the opening exercise, I was gonna share my missionary experience but they didn't see me raise my hand so oh well. Next week I guess.
So yeah. That's my week. Gonna be a looooong and quiet week ahead since Claire is going for YC. But I'll get through. Then maybe catch a show or something when she's back.
Can't wait.
