22nd July 2006 (follow this date)

today is the big day. but b4 tt i'd like to write bout my bday gifts received from my family ytd nite after my post =D. My mum gave me a cool adidas sports bad with socks n stuff inside. My sis gave me a nice-lookin shirt, and my dad bought me com parts! yay, from now on no more crashes due to hardware failures! rly satisfied w my gifts. yay!

now back to today. i work up, did some work n played a bit of dota in the morning. had a bath n dressed myself up by 11.45am, and off i went for lunch with my mum n sis by 12pm. we had lunch @ raffles place food court. was okay lar...not spectacular. then went to VCH @ 1.30pm. we watched a bit of the performance n then went to have orch. prac. it was rather okay, n after a while we were free to slack arnd and wait until the 1st concert, which was @ 3pm. this matinee concert was for lil' kids (pri sch.), so tt they may be interested to join MEP in sec sch. but my personal opinion is GO FOR IT. no harm to do something u enjoy. serious, its quite fun. so well, we slcked around, and de RI guys went to play bridge yay. while waiting i played 5 stones with charles on yuze's HP n i won! aha, charles couldnt believe it, but well, hey, dun underestimate me. wad was funny was alex acting dao and super AP. he din wan to give up his position when he lost in bridge (loser pair out). so, he just sat there n said he wan to play. den we suan him a lot lar, cuz we wanted to play too, he dun wan take turns! haha, then see his face funny sia. 1st time for alex! usually he's just mugger-happy tt kind, nvr seen him lidat b4, but we all friends la, we know this just for fun only.

we were makin a lot of noise, n ppl kept telling us to keep quiet. so we shifted to the boys changing room, and make even more noise. everytime zenn entered the room thomas ang would say "this room not all boys liao", then zenn would whack him and scream. LOL then i scream back, then he scream and ben wee was screamin 2, n thomas ang swear like siao. then we make a lot of noise. whoa, luckily nt many ppl heard us frm downstairs (i hope), but we chased everyone out of the room. haha. sry 2 all those we disturbed =(. anyway, we cont to play n talk crap until the interval, then we got rdy. sadly, dey only performin 2nd and 3rd movement of yellow river, so most of the perc. section was stoning. ahh but moldau was quite good. but hte audienced SUCKED! they keep clapping in btw pieces/movements, n when the concert was over they were like "yay its over!". Bleh, but nvm their lil' kids only. forgive them ba. haha. mr. lim was also actin kiddy cuz he was explainin to them abt de moldau song n it story blahblah.

after that we went out for dinner with some sngs gals n their teacher. haha, it was super funny cuz we were in a big group, n we joined all the tables to form 1 big table so we could all sit together. then we talked a lot of crap (we had dinner @ marina food loft), while eating. well, most of us ate claypot, n thomas ang din finish cuz he tok too much! Lol, anyway, we had a great time tokin crap n havin fun. oh yeah, surprise, surprise. one dun usually hear gals swear de "f" word, but OMG, @ the claypot stall, thomas was like suaning de gals cuz me n him sort of cut queue (haix feeling guilty), then he ask em swear n one of em said "F". den we were like !!!! haha anyway we talked bout MEP camp yeah, n stuff. quite interesting. then we went back, n everyone was screwin around, as expected. leonard was spammin his horn all over, makin a lot of noise, n he woke pepitus frm his slp! haha. he went and blew loudly into his ear, n pepitus woke up with a shock. but i dunno wad happen after that. yeah, either way, we went up to pack up, and rest for a short while, den we went down (me and Thomas), n tok w ppl + play bridge. btw kevin looks super cute in his EZ link card lol! u shld go see. soo, after bridge, we went to tok arnd w/ some sn gals. yeah, n we collected emails so we wont forget each other. we, again n as expected, talked quite a lot of crap, n sherm said i was crazy/geeky/high wadeva else. ah but hey, she was gettin high too. haha. prolly under thomas n my influence. cuz our class in sch is yeah, quite crazy most of e time, n i'm one of de least high person in my class, maybe one of de most retarded n random person. but hey, i'll be fun if u hang out w thomas n me. n yeah, we all had a gd time talking.

AHHH! evening concert, where all de impt ppl n adults would be observing our performance. can obviously see de nerves, cuz pianists played a few wrong notes (although not so obvious), n we all made lil mistakes. de di zi was de most screwd up! he played wrong notes + lagged n din play @ some points of time, when he's de melody. ouch! n moldau was a screw up @ de beginning! oh man... the harp started too early (i think), not with the fulte, and zhengyi missed out 4 bars of his part! oh no. even the clarinets were affected! blehxx!!! but soon, it turned out rather fine. b4 moldau i cldnt believe mr lim needed to tell the audience about the story again. haha, make dem look like de lil kids from the matinee concert. but it was rather good though. audience quite liked it, and we also enjoyed ourselves. de guest of honour went to give us a short speech, so did mr lim n de 2 organisers. well, i guess we worked hard, n it is quite a feat to pull off such a performance in less than 1 mnth! gd job orch ppl!

after tt we wanted to go out supper together, but too late, everyone all gng home. ah b4 tt ppl actually wanted to go! n we couldve have a gd time of interaction, just like dinner. so, i went for supper w my family. we went to newton circle. it was HUGE. renovated until got uber number of stalls. i hate a good bowl of ice kacang. then finally, the day was over...n i went home to zzzzzzzzzz.
