Recall

Friday
GOH training..
Angklung performance... that was damn nice. And sorry but I think the indonesians were a lot better. and the indon girl can sing really well. Shit. I left my activity card in class.
Rehearsal at BBECC.. Something about dancing for the prologue but then got moved to centrepiece and then the guys' dance was scrapped. What a wasted. We practised so much and it ends up as the guys not dancing. But they were going to do drama so I guess it's better to focus on one thing.
Saturday
8.30 at taman warisan.. had practice (over and over and over with countless changes of steps) until about 1.30. Saw the guys' drama. It was damn hilarious. Abang Mahathir is such a joker. and Khai pass as a gay. haha..
Bahas... Raffles won! Maju Raffles! But Akademik Temasik Maktab Rendah Temasik was also good but I guess could have been more fluent. Met Bob.
And then we went back to taman warisan. Practice until 9 or so. Met Hidayat and other ppl during prac. Balik ngan Khai and Hazly and Jay and Miza till City Hall. Guys went to esplanade and miza took the green line train. I took the red line train.
Sunday-Monday
Nothing much... School days... Go to school. Come home from school do homework...
Tuesday
Went to NUS Yusof Ishak House to meet Khai. Khai and Firdauz had dikir prac there. It was damn nice.. haha... had preview of their performance <3 dikir cos it's just cool. Settled the tickets with Khai and Abang Kamal (he has brown eyes... that's nice) and Kak Shamiah. Oh and Siti followed but end up sitting outside the room.. apalah... So siti and I took bus till Clementi MRT station then I took train home. Siti took bus. Khai teman Fird balik until SA then take bus home. Fird from SA took a different bus home.
Malam had conference call with Khai, Fird and Hazly. I kept quiet and laughed most of the time. Just let the guys talk and they practiced their drama over the phone.
Wednesday
Had to reach school by 6.50 but we reached at 7. Changed into costumes and put on light make up just to look old. Then the performance itself. Yeah... we won! The rest of the celebration was super boring until the singing part where our 2 campus superstars lead the school. Then... RAFFLES' CHEER!!!
Then went to Victoria Theatre Hall. We reached the bus stop at about 10.15. 4 190s went pass cos they were full so no one could board them. In the end we took a 105 to the next stop which was outside Far East and wait for a 190 to come cos some people might alight at Far East so there might be space to board even though it might be full when it passed the school. So in the end, we reached Victoria Theatre Hall at 11.30. met Khai and Fird at the statue of Stamford Raffles. Stupid... if the bus hadn't gave us problem, we could have reached there by 10.45 or so.. Then miza and I change into our costumes just to try out cos we hadn't seen the costumes before. Had prac and I finalised the percussion thingy for our dance with some abang. Had lunch with the guys. Then see the rest of the people i.e. the drama people and the competitors practiced. (I got so sleepy. I slept for a while in the seats. I was hugging Khai's costume (he took them off before going up onstage). The material was so lembut. So contrasting to our costume. It was like damn itchy in our costumes.) Miza went out to buy a tube cos our costume was quite low cut. At about 2pm, the rest of the girls came and we prac and prac until 5. The girls insisted on puting make up then. Miza and I were just like 'whatever y'all want lah...' cos the both of us are clueless in this make up and hair prep before the performance. It took bloody long just to do the hair lah.. in the end we took 3 hours for everyone to get ready. Since our part comes only in the middle of the performace, we could come down later. I helped by putting foundation and powder on Jay, powder and blush on Khai, powder on Omar and hidayat. So we missed the intro to the Pentas Budaya. When our part came, we did the dance. It went well. I couldn't see many people cos it was dark (except the stage) so it wasn't that scary. Then we just waited at backstage until the finale where we were supposed to excort the VIP which was Hawaizi Daipi up on stage and back to his seat. Oh and I saw the recording of Pentas Budaya. I didn't know they were recording it backstage. Saw the dikir people did their thing.
During the prac and the thing itself, people were having leg cramps. Khai had leg cramp. He couldn't walk properly onstage. Miza's ankle was like hurting again. Diy also had cramp (onstage and offstage). Fird stepped on my foot and I yanked my foot from under his foot and I accidently stretched my foot muscle (dunno the real name of the muscle part. it's just somewhere on the foot) which was like OW!!!. It was the part that got squashed under the badminton stand.
Then came the finale (it was so fast... i was like huh? finishing already?) and we excorted Hawaizi Daipi onstage where he gave out the awards to the winning teams and then we excorted him down again. And then it was done. Like that. It was quite heartbreaking cos after that we had to say our goodbyes.
Then the girls went off.. I stayed for the celebration after that. Had some food and cake. Took some pictures of the people. i didn't take any pictures of the girls cos there wasn't enough time. we were rushing to finish our hair and make up and after that had to rush to change out cos they were closing the dressing rooms.
Then went home with Hazly and Khai. Oh and I got flowers. A yellow one from this abang who also performed for dikir, a pink one from Siti (she look chio man..) and a blue one from Khai. Then Khai and I took taxi cos we missed the last bus. I feel so guilty. He planned to sent me straight to woodlands after he alighted at BP to get some money from his mum for the taxi fare. but i saw the 960 bus. so i alighted at bp and took 960 all the way to woodlands. i'm going to pay khai back for the taxi fare even though he asked me to forget about it. So i went home and showered. took 20 minutes to get the make up off tho i didn't have a make up remover. just washed my face countless of times. and then i slept.
