whew. it's finally all over.
yesterday was bloody exhausting. the 30hrs and 50bucks are well-earned i tell you!
like any other concerts, we were at dhs early in the morn to move all the instruments.
unlike any other concerts, only about 30 ppl were there.
PLUS. it POURED at vch. know i finally understand the meaning of WET
then i saw the irony of this whole thing: i wore jeans to keep myself warm in vch, then they ended up soaked through and now i'm freezing!
the zheng corridor was terribly congested. then thousands of students had to cramp there.
that snobbish sec1 from temasek irks me to no end!! just because his dad is some hot-shot zheng teacher (big deal) he has no right to act like a spoilt brat!!
and how stupid can he get.
i asked him nicely to go get his instru and tune it. he says he has to stay with the school.
i tell him again nicely that he is supposed to tune his instru FIRST then he can crawl back to whatever hole he came from.
he insisted he wld get scolded.
i told him to go tell his teacher.
he TOLD ME to go tell his teacher.
*exasperated look
and then when it was time for temasek's orchestra item, he actually forgot to bring his instru up. (or was he expecting us to carry it for him?)
i had to run all the way to get it for him as he was already on the stage.
then he refused to come over to get it!!
jiayin YELLED at him n i wanted to smack him.
when he finally took the instrument, he actually strolled back sulking.
oh boy.
me jiayin had bright yellow walkie-talkies!
damn funny. everytime she wanted to talk to me there wld be a lot of static on mine and everyone wld turn round to look at me.
rather embarrassing. n they amused lang greatly.
when the concert started we were all basically stoning at the backstage.
oh! me zhi n yin got our photos with kelvin!!
that boy was being all lame, saying he might as well just stand there like a statue and whoever wants his photo can go take with him.
like jiayin wld say. so adorable!! n may i add that he IS a great suona player?
never mind. better stop before the girlfriend gets mad heh.
then we had to move back all the instruments again.
and i realised how some people are so helpful and the presence of some are just plainly redundant.
credit must be given to kaixiang the dizi-pro from CCHSM who helped with the zhengs and drums. he was not obliged to help yet he did. *ppsssst. jiayin. u smiling right now?
a cockroach situation at the CO room created much screams and laughter.
kelvin n vincent were searching for this gigantic roach see?
it somehow ended up hiding in a hole next to this shelf where we put all the trophies.
so everybody was trying to cajole it to come out.
vincent suggested switching off all lights so it would think all of us had left.
lang said: "yea. later when we on the lights again u realise it's on you"
so she and vinc tried to use a rolled-up piece of paper and poke it into the hole.
before she cld even put it in, that (stupid) vincent screamed and all of us (naturally) screamed and i (promptly) jumped onto a stack of chairs. (repeat: i DO not like gigantic black flying roaches)
kes then put one walkie-talkie infront of the hole and proceeded to make that sound from the grudge, apparently trying to shock the roach into coming out??
he n mj had been amusing themselves the whole trip back making stupid noises through the walkie-talkies.
well. GUYS.
zhi tried to use her flash cam to *flash* the roach out.
instead while the guys were trying to look at the photo, the cam *gasp!* dropped!
then mj *gasp!* knocked into one of the *OH NO!* trophies and it *OH MY GOD!* broke!
all these for a cockroach.
which.
kelvin found to be behind the xylophones! (how did it get there??)
what happened next was extremely short painless and dramatic with lots of screaming.
kelvin whacked at the roach. thought it died. wanted to get it out. instead it went running again. out into the open space where vincent was ready and waiting with his big black shoes. *squish
urgh gross. kelvin wanted to scoop it up with newspaper, then it went crawling again! he threw it to the ground and *squish!* once again!
weeee! 3 cheers for vincent and kelvin!
i haven't laughed so much in a long time. ahh. my dear jrs.
