three! three!

the urgency is because it's late and i need to not look like a stuffed panda for tomorrow's ungodly-hour class and cuz lappy's battery is dying, see my strategy to not stay online too long is working buahaha.

(this is called a stringy sentence, according to our english class. laugh, amreeta, laugh!)

i went for FES' Ops Gegar on friday, 9am to 5.15pm. by the time we got back, the time didn't start with the number five anymore.

then i went for the young adults cg, where we got confused over James 1. but i think we finally got it right.

then we went for supper which was basically me drinking herbal tea and eating pandan tao fu fah.

then i tailed keith's car so i won't get lost back to tiara and silly-ly tailed him back to his house, and he said, "um, you don't have to follow me d" after stopping his car for a moment.

i went for our faculty's annual prom thingy (Lawnite - sounds dorky, i think someone should change it) and again got lost tailing zhen qi, but this time it wasn't my fault cuz she made the wrong turnings. yes, plural.

i was supposed to go as a VOX reporter with nothing but a free entry into lawnite (no food, no seat, no table, probably only got washroom privileges). i got a free seat after all without having to steal amreeta's food or share some butt space with her, cuz i got paid in-kind to play like a lounge pianist while the guests trickled into the ballroom. i ended up playing for 30 minutes, standing, cuz my legs are too short and i won't have been able to reach the pedal if i'd used the dreadfully high stool. evelyn's list of songs to play would've been enough to last 30 minutes if i hadn't forgotten what some of the songs sounded like. in the end i skipped some bridges and did a fair bit of modification that really reminded me of what my piano teacher used to tell me: "xi hwi (that's how she pronounced my name), even mozart's daughter can't change his songs!"

anyways, i enjoyed living the lounge pianist dream, even if it was only for 30 minutes. i forgot how much i'd wanted that dream to come true after the many years of pretending i didn't want it anymore. i'd tried to lose the dream after i realized i'd forfeited the chance to get a scholarship to study music in some ang moh place after i got a Merit for dunno which grade (gotta get full distinctions to get the scholarship) and definitely after i failed my Diploma by four miserable marks.

see rushing, so spilled everything d.

anyway, i went home with amreeta and hooi ping this time and we got home so quickly because we didn't get lost, although there were several occasions when we were so proud to have made a decision to take the right lane, and then suddenly there was another decision to be made about whether we wanted to go on the ramp or on the road next to it, and then after we painstakingly made the decision in much hurry, there was this terrible roundabout, at which point amreeta said we were bozos and the brightest minds in the faculty all in one car. (sarcasm in the last bit of the sentence)

today (sunday) i went to church 15 minutes early and had donuts and an egg for brunch. yu-shen desperately wanted to prove that there was something wrong with the eggs cuz everyone else peeled them so easily when he couldn't and in the end he ate three eggs. but maybe it was because esmond said he had three eggs, and yu-shen wanted to top that. yu-shen can't kill me for posting this because he's going on a Mercy Malaysia trip and one must have mercy before going on such a trip.

then i went for pjgh's choir practice. i was the first and i was so so so proud, until lareina walked in and said, "hi, power parker. your car is the only one that's parked adjacent to the wall. hihihi." and then hui mei went outside to look and she said, "wow ya, at least it's a perfect 90 degrees." 

anyway God endorsed my participation in the church choir by allowing me to sing an entire song without stopping for two whole bars to rest cuz cannot breathe. 

apalah. in the end lappy shut down cuz battery died and i wanted to post this anyway so i plugged it in. =.= anyway i'm going to sleep. bah.
