This year's Speech day and Learning Festival had been integrated into a single day. Therefore there were more activities and it was much more hectic than last year. It was really tiring though.
For today's performance, it wasn't really our best but we did what we could at that time I suppose. Ms Ong forgot to cue our section in for our first page. Jolene said that we sounded freaky as our notes were very high =D She was standing right behind us on-stage with the band.
The audience was not really encouraging though. Most of them were still chattering during the band's and choir's performance D:
Right after the Speech Day performance, I had to rush to return the stand and change my top. I then went for my ushering duty. Most of the schools were late. I must say that it was quite fun but hectic. I had to carry refreshments for the performing groups and the drinks were HEAVY. I was running up and down, just to remind the groups of the time and that they are supposed to come down at least 10 minutes before their performance.
After the refreshments part was done, Ms Ang actually gave us drinks to drink too as there were many extras =DDD
We then gave out the Learning Festival leaflets to anyone who wanted them. I gave many to the band people =D It was quite difficult though as most of the visitors didn't want it or had already taken theirs at the foyer. When I gave the last of my stack, I went over to the teachers' stall to help in the selling of their items. I managed to persuade Clare, Christy, Ms Ho and a few others to buy from me. Ms Ho was really kind!! She immediately bought some snacks from me =]]]]
Before that, I'd also helped the 2C1 stall to sell their kuehs for a short while. Jessie and I cornered a Fairfield Methodist Priamary boy and coerced him into buying one XD
When Jessie saw that there was a girl from the same school walking nearby, she asked if they knew each other and when they said yes, she made the boy buy a kueh for the girl XD Poor boy.

My throat hurts after yesterday's singing D: It's not the usual sore throat - it feels swollen. Oh well, I just hope that I can sing well on Saturday. I must sing well. =D
Today's rehearsal was much more tiring than last week's. Everyone managed to arrive at the hall after warm-ups on time. Unlike Juniper, who loves the stand so much, I had some difficulties carrying it initially. It feels like I'm carrying weights...

Anyway, Juniper conducted us today. We had to walk in and out as usual, and remain on stand-by outside the hall too. And Ms Ong changed our standing positions today. For the first time, I'm actually the middle. It seemed weird at first, as I'm so used to standing at the side, but it's fine =]
Although the rehearsal ended at four plus, we practised further to touch up on the two songs. Compared to normal choir practices, at least we could go at five-thirty instead =DDD
I think I'm going to flunk my English and Chinese Language class test. The theme for the narrative essay was unexpected. My essay was just filled with crap. For the second test, it was just a plain disaster. I did not understand anything from the question paper and I was really sleepy then. My handwriting was illegible too and my correction tape was used up. I'd even cancelled one whole question and re-wrote it at a teensy corner. Let's hope I wouldn't get penalised for that. For the cloze passage, it was totally beyond my humble comprehension. It just seemed to be a jumble of Chinese characters to me. Sure, it was an article, but due to the "chim-alogy" or maybe I really am too dumb, I really couldn't get what the whole paper was about. Yes, I know I AM dumb. It's just that I feel extremely stupid now. Bleh, it's going to be awful when I get back the two papers. There's also the Literature test tomorrow and Math plus Physics tests on the day after. Is there such a term called 'Triple Doom"?

After a fortnight

Although it was a Wednesday, I had to stay back mainly for the Speech Day rehearsal. There were many problems and most of the time, the choir was left alone onstage. Teryne and I felt like BBQ-ed pork - those that they sell at discounted prices during CNY and the shops will have some reddish light shining onto them. Yeah, there were red spotlights on us. Diu Diu Dang a was sung well on that day if I remember correctly, although we didn't sing that during the rehearsal.
There was also English oral yesterday. Our class got Mr Ravi as the examiner. I'm not sure if I will fare well for this exam as he didn't show any indication whatsoever. Reading was okay, but the Picture Discussion part was quite horrible. The photograph featured was about a few teenage boys accompanying young toddlers on floats in a swimming pool. All of them were males. I interpret it as: It is a collaboration between the NS guys and some Kindergarden school. This was partly because the reading passage was on NS Navy, and all the guys didn't look above 20. All of them had shaved heads too. So it should be okay if I said that right? Unlike others, he only asked me one question excluding "what do you think is happening in this picture". He asked, "What is the likelihood of something happening?". I was answering halfway when I forgot the question. That was when I stopped suddenly and asked, "Again?". I think he got irritated and he repeated his question. Hope I will manage to do well for this exam somehow.
My friend got into VJIP. Well, lots of people are applying for IP now. Let's just say, I decided not to try out for this IP thing as my grades are not good enough. Plus, I have already decided to stick to Crescent for four years and not two. Third reason would be that I know I will die from the workload in IP. Plain ol' me will always know what are my limits =]
But I kinda admire those who got in or are already in this programme. It just shows that they are really really really smart and they work fast. =O

I forgot to post about Mr Poon who came in as a relief teacher for our geography period on Wednesday. Apparently, since our lovely oral examinations are approaching fast, he, as an English teacher did not want us to waste any time and wanted to help us practise our oratorical skills. To give an example of what 'monotonous' means, he randomly grabbed a book from the front row. The book happened to be the one lying on Harriet's table. He then proceeded to read. There was just one particular problem though: it seemed that the passage contained some explicit words that was not to be read to a big audience - especially when we are only young adults. I still remember what he remarked after his eyes widened at the choice of words used by the author, "Young people these days...What are they thinking...the choice of books...". Of course, he showed what 'monotonous' meant in the end - by quoting a paragraph on how the brain absorbs information found in a copy of Readers' Digest on Pearlyn's table. "This, is what you people should read." Was what Mr Poon announced, after he finished quoting.
The oral exercise that we did was to change partners every turn, and to expound on the topic he gave us right before our turns to speak. Since we were in pairs, so each will take turns to listen, speak and comment. Unfortunately, I did not get to speak when the topic in question was what I had confidence with. Instead, I got
When I was listening to Deborah explaining why Avril Lavinge was so trashy to her, I could only catch the three words: Like a mop. The rest was lost to my ears as she was TOO FAST. LOL, she later told me that she said that lavinge's hair is like a mop. XD
Oh yeah, about today's guitar class. My mum and I were rushing to Tampines Mall for my class and were waiting for the pedestrian light to turn green. There was this old man who didn't care about the traffic whatsoever and just proceeded to cross the road with his wife. He was saying, “要过，就过。”When my mum heard that, she told me, "What he meant was: 要死，就死。" XD
I made it in time and knocked into this poor soul when I was walking to the place. As both of us were walking towards each other and there was this corner, we just banged into each other. I didn't see him at first coz he was shorter than me. Hahas, poor guy.
I made a fool of myself during the class too. When the teacher called Tammy and me to play Guantanamera, I heard it as "Eugene and Tammy." So when I caught everyone looking at me, I was surprised and asked,"Huh? Wait, ME?". I heard Eugene snicker.
We got a new solo piece again - Speak Softly, Love. It sounds sad and somehow, I felt like giggling when the teacher played it once through for us. I think I'm mad.

Today's Youth day celebration was relatively short. But it was still fun to see the teachers putting up their items for us. And everyone said that our class shirt was really unique ^^
The Humanities Department came up with this last-minute item. The teachers were showcasing the styles of music icons from the 60s to the 21st century. Mr Tham did one of the guys in ABBA and Jay Chou. His face was so moody when doing the latter XD Ms Li also did Click Five and it was hilarious. There was also Britney Spears. Wonder why no one did Madonna?
Ms Loo paired out with Mr Keong during the Mathematics Department's item. They were dancing to the tune of uptown girls =D And she saved her rose for our class. \^^/
Oh, and throughout the whole thing, I had to protect my knee from Tessa Sim. She was trying to peel the cracked skin off my wound. Tsktsk. Everytime I turn to look at the stage, she will attempt to prode and study my knee. Lol, she is currently fascinated with it.
I managed to leave school at four plus as we needed to arrange all the old scores in the CCA room. Anna, Evangeline and Joey were really enthusiatic about practising the South African Pantsula. And I was in charge of reminding Ziyu to tag the gowns after we were done with the scores. XD
