I'm starting to feel the excitement of going!
Yesterday I met Xuemin at Coronation to photocopy our Alto Revision Notes for the trip. It was raining quite badly, and on the way to the bus stop I got wet from knee down! Not to mention I stepped in an icky puddle as well. Yuck.
We met Phoebe at Coronation! What a surprise. And we saw Yun Tian and Chantik get off the same bus. So we waited till we were in the stairway to the hall before bursting into an extremely in-tune rendition of Happy Birthday to Yun Tian.
Choir practice was not very good, I felt. We only had 90 minutes, the first 10 of which was spent scotchtaping the new informal grouping list to each of the booklets. My killer headache from the moment I stepped out the house was still ongoing. Brings to mind the expression "going cross-eyed with pain".
Then the choir was so restless, and poor Eugenia had to keep scolding them, but she's not very fierce, so they didn't manage to stay properly disciplined for long. It's as if they have the attention span of a potato. Half a potato, maybe. Collectively.
So we ended late at about 7.10, and then rushed down to eat our chicken rice, supposedly supposed to be back by 7.25 sharp, which was rather an impossibility.
My sister replaced my parents at the parents' briefing session by the tour agency (Thank You!), and I wasn't even listening for the first half because we had to distribute the letters, reply slips, collect the $50 etc. Questions were raised about money to bring, warm clothing, etc.
My poor sister had to wait, because we had to distribute the revision notes, get the red packet with ziploc bag, celebrate Yun Tian's birthday, etc. It was general chaos in LT2. And Boss was rather short-tempered about the extra letters because he kept asking where they were, I kept pointing at the same place everytime he asked; I don't know why he didn't just go there to where Eunice2 was pointing as well.
Then after I pointed for the last time Ek Ping brought it to the front, then he just huffed and snatched two letters and stalked off. Hmph.
Anyway, my sister drove us home, and she finally got her spaghetti! She's so easily pleased!
Today my parents came home from Italy, but I'd already left for school. 4 hours of literature. 3 hours with Ms Chua in LT2 delving into the Heart of Darkness while everyone else was having choir. Not Fair.
What's more, I thought it was ok because I'd go to HC for the performing, but then it was cancelled. Then I chiong-ed out of LT2 to see the J1s outside the ava, talking to them until one of them kindly told me that the comm was meeting Ms Lim at the raintree. Goodness knows how I didn't see them in the process of chionging.
We went to eat lunch at the market, and it started to rain awfully. So Papa fetched me home, dropping Sonia, DF and Eunice2 at the Rifle Range bus stop. After which ensued a tough time of packing into a bit-too-small luggage case, and deciding which jackets to bring.
I still haven't finished packing! Eep. I'll be at Changi Airport, T1, Row 2 in 24 hours. Ooh.
