greetings, everyone. i apologise on my behalf of my 99.9% dead blog. i haven't been able to crap out a post lately as i was busy reading my new book. introducing... *drumroll... Dan Brown: Angels & Demons. muahahahahahaha. my mum readily agreed to buy me the book (she had a popular member card) but was a little hesistant when she saw the title. -.-. like wtf. i kept shoving the book to her (tried covering the title as well) and after a assuring session that i promise i won't turn into a demon but an angel, she agreed. it's a MUST-READ ! like duh. The Da Vinci Code was superb entertaining too. hokay. anyway, i'm present today to post about 'Addiction 3'. it was held on 25 november 2009 on a wednesday. it was a thoroughly hectic day, not to mention the concert itself. we had to be in school by 10 am as we had to arrive at VCH at 1 pm. reached school in pe attire and everyone was rushing to get into their seats for warm-ups after those people who wished to stay for the night in school threw their stuffs in respective classrooms. hokay, this wasn't supposed to be written but i changed classroom secretly. cat's outta the bag. well, anne and i had a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ promise at midnight sharp. LOL. :X. haha. anyway, there were no stands and we had to place the technique books on the floor. in the end, we gave up our seats for the technique books and we ended up on the floor. blah blah. quick warm-up before keeping instruments and heading down to the atrium. i had to help anna carry the gifts. god, they were friggin' heavy. on the way down, ahchun was pushing some trolley thingy meant for placing the projectors on top and he asked if i mind putting the gifts on top. haha. hokay. among the gifts were some roses. wtf. and me and anna had to constantly sprinkle the roses with water to prevent them from withering. it's all-work and no-rest for gardeners. -.- busied myself with the distributing of chocolates to the clarinet section. both me and anna kept having hallucinations of things being left-out or missing. and ruby and shiyun came running back with a care bear and a card with our photo with miss chang (we took it when we had sectionals on SUNDAY. XD). they had a bizarre story to tell. here goes. i'll put it in point-form.1. they had to rush to point to get a last-minute present for miss chang for thanking her for her guidance and teachings.
2. they rushed outta school and saw a lady (erm, well, auntie) with a bicycle heading to point.
3. asked whether they could borrow it for some emergency uses.
4. the generous auntie agreed.
5. they cycled with great determination to point.
6. thereafter, they cycled back to return the bike to the auntie but there wasn't any traces of her.
7. they cycled back to point and return the bike hurriedly.
8. they came running back. ROFL.
haha. this sounded sooooooooo dramatic. well, at least i think it went like this. anyway, the buses came and off we went to VCH. on the way, me, anna, eileen and litat chatted about random stuffs and it was pretty hilarious. there was once when litat caught sight of the zoo bus and questioned anna why she wasn't on it. he stated, 'the zoo will be missing an annaphant !'. LOL. hokay. anna was greatly insulted. blah blah. arrived at our destination and rushed to put our instruments aside and thereafter to put our clothes, shoes, etc. at the changing rooms. me and anna were constantly rushing to the flowers and showering it with water. -.-. bloody busy. sat on the audience chairs and tuned with cheryl. felt a sense of sleepiness then. the percussionists and alumni were literally trying to dismantle the stage with the percussion instruments. they managed it in the end. bless them. proceeded to the stage and had warm-ups before mr lim took over. went through some parts here and there. of course, scoldings here and there too. time flied (sounds weird). before we knew it, it was already time for dinner and changing and stuffs. haha. me and peilin intelligently went to chope the toilet first. we were the first two users. XD. peilin took a looooooooong time to change (i suspected she dropped into the toilet bowl, whoops.) loads of people came in afterwards and i was calmly folding my shirt in front of the mirror. haha. oh, and there was once, when me and anna had to use the toilet urgently upon arrving at VCH. and we thought both the toilet were available. and anna went to open one of the cubicle's door. it wasn't locked ! wtf. and there was someone inside. god. they embarrassement. -.-. and that FAMILIAR someone kept shouting at us. it was the all-famous sabrina. well, we almost burst out laughing when sabrina came out like a bull. hokay, we did. we burst out in peels of hidden laughters. anyway, back to where i stopped. proceeded to go have our dinner with peilin and anna. the food wasn't really appealing and i ate some. my stomach was three-quarters filled by packet chrysanthemum tea drink. rather filling. peilin had to stuff herself with food coz she needed to see mr lim to some matters urgently. blah blah. time passed. after dinner, we were to gather at two different places to tune with our sections. miss chang rushed from genting all the way to watch our concert. tuned. bloody hell. got ready at the stage door and halfway arshad went to pee. haha. most of us were rather nervous and the alumni were trying to calm our nerves with encouraging words. second bell rang. out we went. applaused. after what seemed like a few seconds, the third bell rang, indicating that the conductor was ready to come in to start. mr lim walked in, shaoming stood up, we followed, applause, was pretty much ready. second suite (conducted by mr lim) ! lord guard and guide (mr lim too) ! west side story (conducted by miss jama) ! seagate overture (mr lim once again) ! Oo. and the first half was over. god. intermission. hokay. upon our arrival at the backstage, me and anna rushed to the roses once more and gave it a final touch-up. they were supposed to present it after clarinet sandwich. blah blah. at the side of the stage the clarinetists were busy tuning for clarinet sandwich. the high notes. second half ! animation medley (conducted by mr alex lin) ! chim chim che-ree (conducted by mr lim) ! lol. halfway through chim chim i started thinking about clarinet sandwich and kept glancing at the audiences for my mental preparation later on while standing in front of the stage. finished the damn chim chim. argh ! applaused.
mr lim then motion us clarinetists to proceed to the front of the stage. haha. we were desperately trying to look at yunhan and her calm face. from the very first note to the very last note i kept my eyes on the entrance and exit doors. LOL. and well, trying to imagine that the sea of crowd was actually the whiteboard on our band room. only that one song was rather long to me. -.-. like we had been standing on the stage for one hour or something. but the applause was rather soothing and enouraging. returned to our seats and the gifts were presented to our beloved conductors. japanese graffiti next. halfway through the horn melody some of us were clapping away, including me, and my clarinet almost rolled off my legs. wtf man. a near heart attack it was. hokay. as usual, encore. standard de lah. duh. takarajima next. finished ! omfg. a two-hour plus concert seemed like a mere two minutes. -.-. but glad it was over. kinda relieved. :D. shagged. packed up and proceeded outside where the buses were waiting for us. it was then anna claimed that she lost her file. she was getting agitated as well. her file contained loads of precious things. er, to her. yeah. coincidentally, ruby lost her tuner. so me, anna and ruby chiong-ed back to the backstage as they were halfway done closing up the whole of VCH. like so gan-jiong for what. -.-. no sight of tuner nor file at the backstage. chiong-ed back to the buses and asked around. siti had anna's file with her and ruby's tuner was held onto by someone else. blah blah. eventually, the bus started on their way. was 99.9% dead one the bus. slept. blah blah. rested in the band room for a while. majors distributed the chocolates given by seniors and alumni. and. oooooooooooooooooooo. the clarinet section got a pizza-box of donuts from faith and yunhan. hokay. they rock. few words by ahmad and thanked the teachers before me and anne chiong-ed for the bathrooms. wtf. hokay. this was what took place. we acted as smart alecs and rushed to the second floor toilet (the one near the band room), knowing that most people would be bathing at the first floor canteen toilet. surprise ! there wasn't any bloody cubicles for bathing at the second floor toilets (note that we checked the one near the water cooler too). hokay. so we charged down to the first floor toilet (the one near the counselor room). there was ONE cubicle for bathing. heng seh. i got in first. DUH. i got more muscles ok. i shoved anne away. no lah. she brushed her teeth while i bath. -.-. she was blabbering non-stop. yeah, even when she was brushing her teeth. god. and the annoying thing was that she kept bugging me to increase my speed of bathing. that resulted me to bath for less than ten minutes. wtf. i was still dripping wet when i went out kay. even when she was bathing she kept talking and continuously questioned me which was the shampoo (she forgot to bring along hers and i was kind enough to let her borrow mine). two times. two bloody times she shouted. haha. once was when some shampoo went into her mouth. i thought that should keep her silent for a bit. the other time was when the toilet lights went out. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. coz both of us didn't really move much and the bloody sensor couldn't detect our movements. hokay. i almost laugh my ass off. she was screaming like a chicken without a head. LOL. of course, laughing severely came with a price of having a severe stomachache. -.-. we were one of the few who arrived at the outside pe room there, and we were sharing a table with dickson. he was holding on to guowei's soap, i think. he kept indicating that the brand was 999 and that everyone's finding it stinky but he doesn't. he then threatened to flavour our milo with the soap. there was once when he claimed loudly to shamin that he was afraid to bath alone, and anne said that sabrina might go rape him. haha. blah blah. had our suppers and i got extra milo from shizhe. hehe. coz he was sharing with me and he refilled it once. clarinetists had their donuts. blah blah. was friggin' shagged after supper and went to brush teeth, wash up, etc. before going to bed. and i didn't sleep til 4 am. by the time our heads touched the ground it was already 1 am. yeah, and i couldn't sleep a wink even with my eyes closed. hokay, i shan't post about the next day, as you can see, the post, it's erm, reasonably long. kay. happy reading ! XD.
