this week was nuts.
First there was napfa five items on monday, which i sucked at, which gave us muscle aches until thursday at least. shoulders, stomach and legs. except for caroline however, who has what she calls 'steel legs' and they dont hurt at all. Aint life so unfair sometimes?
After that we had ndp rehearsal, which was another dark, gloomy afternoon. it rained, AGAIN. aqila wasnt there so us clar3 girls struggled with under the double eagle and washington post. but it was okay.
then there was this long period of time when no one was doing anything.
all the UG were just standing there, we were just sitting, and the teachers were just talking.
no one was doing anything!!
it was a serious waste of time, that monday. finally, we just started practicing again.
played i spy. haha still remember aqila's ego-ness. note to self: remember it is very big.
they gave us a break, which everyone just started buying food. including myself of course, but sya was still practicing. yeah, she deserves her snare drum part.
then at about 5:15 we packed up. i didnt help the percussion though, because we did on friday and it was TIRING. so, yeah.
Tuesday rolled around, and it brought chinese oral along. Band was cancelled that day because we just had ndp rehearsal. Naturally i felt cheated of one free day.
The really dumb thing about chinese oral was that it was by class. A, M, P, I, O . as compared to english oral, which had a set teacher for a class, chinese oral was basically, just sit wherever and you get that teacher. it was all rather unfair, really.
and because it was by class, we were last!! i mean, 2A people probably all left by 3, and we only started at 4pm!!!! ergh. at least it wasn't by register order, as i previously thought.
so i still managed to go home with caroline :)
however, i was unfortunate enough to get my form teacher, who is really alert and strict. that day during chinese period she had already briefed us on the do's and don'ts. i committed quite a number of don'ts, and almost no do's at all!
needless to say, when i got back my marks on wed( they're that fast!), i didnt do very bad. so-so, but clearly i could have done better.
Ahh. wednesday. we had chinese listening comprehension, which was no big deal.
i got 18/20 :)
they gave back our marks on thursday. how efficient. if only mrs jai and mrs franklin could be that fast. But i musnt wish the impossible:)
Band was rather horrible. mr ong came, so we had a tiring 2 hours. smart of ng to not come.
the sec3s were involved in this national day video thing after band.
i had the 'one united people' song stuck in my head the rest of the day after aqila sang it.
thursday. lemme see. oh yes, how could i have forgotten? community singing.
music was our 2nd period, and there was this whole bunch of china exchange students.
we sang this year's theme song, 'there's no place i'll rather be' . which isnt very nice. or suitable.
but music that day was fun.
then, barely 2 periods later, we had community singing during reading. singing the SAME song. then we sang 'one united people', 'home' and 'where i belong' .
they wanted us to sing 'will you', the other theme song for this year. but our protesting made them change their minds :D
seriously, that song sucks.
the ndp songs these days are getting worse. to be honest, i can only remember 'where i belong' , 'home', 'we will get there' , 'one united people' and a bit of 'reach for the skies'.
i dont even know what's last year's. of course, the singapore classics are still the best. like singapore town, stand up for singapore, count on me singapore & we are singapore, singaporeans. and the one which had the pledge in it. cant remember the title.
during math remedial, it was raining heavily. so ndp rehearsal was cancelled. good. had sectionals instead. mr ong came again, though:(
well, suppose you cant have everything in life.
friday! had this horrible hall performance that was wayy boring for me. but terribly exciting for everyone else, so it seemed. really glad that we could leave early at 1:30 :P
ate my minced meat noodle. there wasn't jogging on fri due to the rain, so everyone stayed in class.
i bought another school shirt, but then the queue for the noodles was wayy long. so i ate chicken rice instead :/
anyways, the survey wasnt bad. just the normal fast kind. then we all played in the lab. yiying & simin with their intelligent 'blob' game, me with 'diner dash' and caroline & jieshi with 'the impossible quiz'.
went tm with caroline. we were at the popular area when we bumped into my dad! haha. then we wanted to take photo with the simpsons.
stood there for ages, in the end people keep asking us to take picture for them. finally we got nicenice pictures.
stupid caroline, took over 5 shots for me. everyone was looking. whereas for her, it was so quick and painless. plus she was the one that said it would be embarrasing.
okay. im going to play impossible quiz now :)
so maybe my week's nutshell was bigger than i thought
