Rapture 2008 has been one of the most fantastic days of my life, the first time I felt so bonded to a CCA. The weeks of intense trainings and practices have really made us so close, like a family and it's a damn good feeling. Loves.
Backstage. Walking through the door marked BACKSTAGE was almost surreal. Haha. Never had I imagined that one day I'll get the opportunity to perform on the same stage so many other world famous stars have performed on.
And. OUR OWN DRESSING ROOMS.
How cool is THAT. Haha.
Cons, Manda, Rach and I shared one of the VIP rooms. VIP not cos of its size, but cos of the proximity to the stage door. We had to do quite a few quick changes so yeah. The nearer the better.
The room looked like a hotel room, very nice furnishing and all. I LIKE. Especially the cleopatra couch. Heh. I think the room was meant for one only though. HAHA.
Tuesday's run was quite bad. I thought. And I was a lil worried the show wouldn't be worth its 28 bucks.
Wednesday morning. LOST MY DIAMOND BRACELET. Panicked. Checked the quick change rooms backstage, walked across the back of the stage about a hundred times. NO BRACELET. But I prayed and I just knew everything was gonna be fine.
Called people for help, to get one more for me, and just before the show, I got it. THANK YOU GOD. Relief.
And. Had to sew mattheus' costume. Was a lil _____ since I got some crap costume. Hanging by the thread. A lil but worried since I didn't rehearse in it. What if it fell?! Haha. Tubes are scary. Didn't think too much about it. I just did whatever I
could.
Zaki and Miss Wee wanted to give us a short encouragement talk but we ended up in tears after they broke down. Then I was reminded of all the times they were so nice to us. Like the sunday we went back to school to practice, Zaki came down just to give us food.
And then we all had to go back and redo our make up. Haha.
Like Khym said, once we started the show, everything's would go so fast. Before we knew it, we'll be raising our hands to "light of day", the last line to the finale.
Opening was fine. A lil bit screwed. Dropped a few steps I never messed up before.
Maybe I wasn't fully concentrating on the steps but concentrating on the audience, and the energy I was to put into the steps. Oops. Other than that, it was good. Well received by the audience. I think cos the ruggers were on, and so were the small ACS(P) boys.
Broadway was a good run. =) Damn happy with it.
Hoedown wasn't so bad, somehow I felt less happy doing it as compared to full run on tuesday. Hmm. Not bad though.
Hotride. I think it was another good run. =) Very strong dance.
Mattheus'. WASNT THAT BAD! =D I thought tuesday's run was better but haha. I'm happy enough with the result. MY TUBE DIDN'T DROP. I didn't jump and pull my lines as per normal but I think the audience can't really tell anyway. A bit disappointed that I didn't do full out.
Hiphop. Right before, my legs cramped. HAHA. Nice.
Gospel. Loved every minute of it. The energy flowed so naturally and everyone didn't need to be told to smile. =)
When the curtains fell, everyone started screaming and crying. We were all 100% happy and 100% sad at the same time.
Happy cos we knew we pulled the show together. Most of it, in a short week.
Sad, cos for the J2s, it would be the last time we danced on stage together, it was our last day of dance.
As usual, my reation was so perfectly retarded that once everyone stopped crying and moving back to the rooms to pack, my tears flowed like a broken dam. Haha.
Packing took damn long. Every few minutes we would have to read a message, or receive a call.
And when we were done, we rushed out to meet all the supporters and "bathed in their praises" like Zaki and Miss Wee said. Haha. Manda and I felt like we just flew in from overseas when we walked out of the backstage door, pulling our luggages and looking for people we knew. We felt like mini celebrities. HAHA.
SAW JONAH AND SHAHIR. =D Yayes.
And my crazy cg, gave me a GIANT BOUQUET OF FLOWERS. 50 RED ROSES. MAD I TELL YOU. BUT I LOVE THEM cos of the mad things they do. =D
My 3 brothers gave me a very VERY beautiful bouquet of lilies and purple roses. LOVE IT. And they ah. HAHA. Made me a shirt that said "DANCING QUEEN".
Received so much chocolates from the teachers, Zaki, Miss Wee, A9, Beethy, Jonnie, Jonah, Clarice...
70 roses, 3 giant lilies, a sunflower, a daisy (is it a daisy!? I dunno), 4 boxes of chocolates, a pack of sweets, 3 cards.
I can either start my own garden or open a gift shop. HAHA.
I think I'll grow FAT. Haha. Craps. Just managed to lose 3kgs. I weighed myself yesterday and I was damn happy with what I saw. HAHA.
Thank you all, for loving me so much. =)

Dear God,
I pray for a miracle, I pray that the show would flow smoothly.
Give us all the strength for tomorrow.
And give us rest.
Lord, we place everything wehave into Your hands and we ask that You'll hold us and bless us.
Amen.

44 hours to rapture.
EXCITING.
Oh my tians oh my tians oh my tians oh my tians.
Now I know the meaning of the word "fatigue".
Before school started I was already dead.

A lil bit sad. But thank God, for my cg. Their presence made me smile and be stonger.
Kor's gone back by now. Supposed to meet him but dance held me back. I'm not blaming dance. I need the practice.
Practice was good though. =)
Cried because I know I'll miss you kor.

Horrible. It's just BAD.
We need to pray. Damn DAMN hard.
Pray for a miracle.
And for anxiety.
Cos now, nobody's feeling anything.
Rapture seems far away. But it's NOT.

Clean ups for Matt's dance ended pretty late. And we didn't have dinner. 4 hours straight after school is no joke. But Zaki and Miss Wee were damn nice, they were really trying to help.
Zaki was scary when he was doing opening item. I think everyone was kinda scared too. Haha. But now opening is complete! =)
Yeah Zaki did scold me a lot. But it felt good. Cos at least now I'm more sure of my steps, the blockings and steps are clean and less muddy.
All the way dancers, only 9 more days!!

Did I tell you how weird it felt when I saw my friend with her arms around someone else's arms? Only so happens that I know that someone else too. And he used to like me.
No wonder he doesn't call me now.
Haha.
I feel like I've lost something.
Not sure what. But I guess it's not that important, since I don't feel much of a sting. Or maybe I'm just trying to make myself feel that way. Haha. Nope, I really don't feel like I've lost something big. Small loss.
Bah. Not thinking about it. I've got the amazon to choose from, what's a shrub in comparision. Haha. I'm mean. But if you ever read this, you're still my good friend. Both of you. Haha. Awkward but I'll get used to it. I've got no ill feelings, I think you both are great together. I wish yall the best. =)
Life goes on.

Mummy and Daddy just came back from Malacca, with goodies. Yayes. =)
Wore a skirt for the first time (school uniform not counted!), to church. I'll get used to it.
KCP. It's not a bad place really. The amount of people worshipping together was so big. I'll get used to it.
No actually. I shouldn't. The bigger the better. Just that it's harder to be a tighter knit.
Unfamiliar faces. I'll do something about it.
Lunch with the girls.
Gracie's getting smarter.
Coffee with kor.
Enjoyed. Simple pleasure, talking over coffee.
Kor forgot where he parked his car in the basement. When we eventually found it, he insisted someone moved it. Haha.
I need to study. Really really need to study.
And I have to stop handing up blank scripts.
----
You're special, really kor. Although I don't know how to make you understand how special. Haha.

Seems like my parents really love going overseas.
3 times a month, this month.
And here I am .
Bowed. My weight on the kitchen counter.
Eating ice cream from it's tub.

I thought today was supposed to be a good day.
It was. Quite.
Only not the part where the wind blew my drink over, spilling its contents all over the table, bench, pris and me. And the best part- I hadn't even taken a sip yet.
And then I was too afraid to get another one. In case something happened again.
For a moment I was afraid to even get food. I had the mentality that you didn't deserve to eat or drink after something like that since you caused trouble cause you wanted to eat.
So I went hungry till about 930 at night, after dance practice.
----------------------
Maybe I look like I'm strong, independent and can do everything on my own.
But really, I'm just like every one of you.
Sometimes I'm strong enough to brave the thunderstorm.
But sometimes I can't even stand in the drizzle.
-------------------------
Happy birthday my friend.

Imagine my surprise when I saw schoolmates kissing. Not that I know them. But I thought people from my school weren't as _________. (fill in the blank)

Dance ended at 930pm.
Clean up by zaki and miss wee was good. Now mattheus' dance is much better. Got hope.
Tiring. But it felt good.
Seems like after every practice for Matt's dance, everyone would be drained and some people would be in tears.
Can't do my work now, I'm too tired.
Sacrifices made for dance are great. Gotta really work it after the 30th, for prelims.
Still gotta get country top, hot ride top, opening outfit.
I'm aching EVERYWHERE and I've got blue blacks.
Never mind, 2 more weeks before show.
It'll be good. I promise. =)
--------------------------------
Seems like I'm embarassing myself every single time.
Ass hedge eye tee LAH.
On a brighter note, Miss K returned the annotations and essay outlines we did for her last week and she mentioned that she saw signs of "life" in my work and a few others' like Chey, Deb and Gus. =D
YAY! HAHA. I'M SO HAPPY I COULD FLY.

Church. Lunch. Shop. Shop. Sleep. Dinner. Walk. Home.
I've got flabby arms and legs. Haha. I wish they were gone. The flab. Or they were muscles instead. They ache. Must be dance.
Again, for no reason, I felt super bitchy and rebellious. But lunch made it all better. =)
Lunch at Shodoku. "Marche" concepted Japanese dining. Not bad, quite cool.
One way to see how good the Japanese restaurant is is to look at their tamago.
Shodoku's was good.
Shopped with Joanne and mummy the whole afternoon. It was like-
Try. Try. You like? Try. Nice. You're supposed to look like that. Nice. OK? Buy. Buy. You better wear ah. Buy. Don't want to buy? Ok next. Nice. Nice. Trust me. Too big. Too long. Not nice. Buy. Ok only. Buy. Buy.
Happy.
This Joanne had to leave at 2 plus to go to Malaysia though. =(
Thanks mummy, I had fun. =)
Even better, shopping in the supermarket. WHEEEEE. My fav.
Dinner with Wyn and Daryl at Manhatten's. We got 3 kinds of fish and split everything into 3. Good stuff. The fish. I prefered the baked and grilled fish though. Fried was just too much, too boring. I don't know. I just didn't enjoy it as much. Haha.
And then, since it was the last day we were going to be at central, we walked along the river. HAHA.
Tried finding the chocolate shop but I can't remember where it was. =(
I still need to shop for lots more stuff. hopefully, GSS doesn't end so soon!!!
Screw homework.
Ok. Cancel cancel. I didn't say that.

Her thoughts were all fixed on that one spot of Pemberly House, whichever it might be, where Mr Darcy then was. She longed to know what at that moment was passing in his mind; in what manner he thought of her, and whether, in defiance of every thing, she was still dear to him.

I realise that I've got a really boring and childish blog.
TIME TO GROW UP.
I'll start wearing skirts and dresses, no more shorts and jeans all the time.
I'll start being less excited about everything.
I'll be an "adultist".
I'll start behaving.
I'll be more independent.
I'll do what adults do.
And then maybe I'll be able to find my prince charming.
Scratch that.
I'll be able to find the right guy for me.
For now, I need someone to show me what I should do.

When you look me in the eye
When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.
How long will I be waiting,
To be with you again
Gonna tell you that I love you,
In the best way that I can.
I can't take a day without you here,
You're the light that makes my darkness disappear.
More and more, I start to realize,
I can reach my tomorrow,
I can hold my head high,
And it's all because you're by my side.

Danced from 1030 to about 530.
Hot ride, Country, hiphop and mattheus'.
All physically demanding.
By the time it was mattheus' practice I was already sapped of the last bit of dancing energy.
Looked for shorts with Rachel but didn't find any in my size.
When I reached home, I saw the stuff that daddy and mummy got from thailand, and I saw how they tried to get all the stuff from my list of needs.
Unfortunately, none of it matched. Except for the boots I could use for country, AND USE AGAIN TO GO OUT AND STUFF.
That means I still have to get knee high boots for hot ride.
Mummy said she didn't get the knee high boots for me cos I won't look good in them. Too bad. No cheap boots. I gotta get them on my own. =(
I was about to cry when I saw all the stuff they got for me, cos I felt so guilty that they tried their best to complete my list, yet at the same time I was frustrated that I had to get everything except boots for country since everything else "cannot pass". Mummy didn't get anything for herself.
Too high expectations of thailand, coupled with tiredness from dance and pressure of getting everything I need PLUS SCHOOL= scream and pull hair.
I didn't LAH. Haha.
Messaging Wynnie did make me feel much better. But what did the trick was Sushi tei. =)
You can never go wrong with Japanese food if you're trying to please, impress or cheer me up. OR if you just want to be nice to me. JAP FOOD.
I just ordered whatever I wanted for dinner, I didn't care if I could finish it or not.
And between Bryan and I, we chalked up more than $200 worth. That's after 20% discount. Haha.
The lobster sashimi was very very interesting. The last time I ate it, I hated it cos I saw that the lobster was still moving. This time I didn't care. The lobster moved like mad, as though it was swimming. But I ate it anyway and it was GOOD.
Everything else we ate were the typical things we eat everytime we go to sushi tei.
After sushi tei, mummy needed something from guardian and I went to buy it for her. Ended up spending $80. But it's not me. It's mummy's stuff that was damn ex haha!
I went small scale food shopping at the supermarket later. =)
If you know me well enough, you know how I shop at supermarkets. Haha.
Now I'm much happier.
The thought of starting school proper tomorrow makes me sad though.
----------------------------
Ivan Goh sent me a few pictures that someone took. There was me. A very fat me.
Damn I look fat in pictures, NO KIDDING. As in. SERIOUSLY.
Time to watch my weight. Height and weight this friday I think.

Basically I studied my sunday away.
I only managed to accomplish little though.
LIT. 4 chapters of PNP.
I am proud I sat down and did lit.
Yet disappointed as I realised how far I am from being good at it.
JIAYOU CHERYL.
I'm working hard. At least now I'm not ignoring lit or doing last minute tutorial preparations.
I'm gonna research on the poems in the book I'm doing.
Freak I don't understand a fifth of the words in that book.
Met nana and jeanne at starbucks central early afternoon and we studied for a while until the manager asked if we could occupy one table instead of two cos afternoon crowd, people need seats, blah blah. And he was damn nice about it. Seriously. But we decided to move to subway anyway. We paused for a bit outside starbucks and the manager came out to give us free starbucks vouchers. I think he was really guilty for making us relocate. So poor thing. Haha.
When we went back to starbucks a few hours later to get drinks, we used the vouchers. The manager was there and he gave us really good service.
Seriously, he deserves better than working at starbucks. Unless he enjoys it. Otherwise I think he should be some high flying director in some company. He speaks well. Haha.
Love that man. HE'S DAMN NICE HE'S DAMN NICE.
Haha. I'm going back more often.
I didn't eat dinner, I watched Daryl eat though.
I said I only wanted desert and Daryl "painfully" suggested a million places but they were all rejected.
I did go to kovan to get tea eggs and other miscellaneous stuff though.
I did go supermarket shopping and found ABC macaroni! =D
Of course I bought it. HAHA.
I didn't get avocados though. There wasn't any. =(
We ate 2/3 of the 6 tea eggs I bought while waiting for Bryan to come home, mixed pineapple and ruby grapefruit juice with a little bit of daddy's desert wine and talked about the J2s (what else can we talk about HAHA) while I sat on the kitchen counter packing my own shelf in the cupboard and he sat outside on the dining bench.
And then Bryan came home and the boys started being computer geeks.
Dance tomorrow, I can't wait! =)
My parents are coming back from Thailand tomorrow, yayes!
I gave mummy a shopping list, with all the things I need for rapture. HAHA. Save my money!
Even though the house was parentless since friday, it didn't feel as though the house was empty. MAYBE BECAUSE YOU TWO KEEP FLYING OVERSEAS?
I'm kinda used to it. I don't like it though.
Being parentless means I have to do a lot of stuff my parents do.
Like call my brother to ask where he is, cook more meals, wash more clothes, wash more dishes, clean more house. Haha.
Not that I don't like doing all those. I enjoy doing them. But it's time consuming. And tiring. Quite.
I competed against the electric kettle today. Haha.
To win the kettle, I had to finish HAND WASHING all the dishes in the sink before the water finished boiling. Not dishwasher wash.
Halfway soaping the dishes, I realised I couldn't win since the eletric kettle took frickin' fast to boil the water. So I changed it to "finish soaping all the dishes to win". Heh.
AND I DID. Not only did I finish soaping all the dishes, mind you there was a whole sink full since I didn't do any dishes on saturday, I also washed a cup, a plate and 3 spoons. HAH.
So childish you cheryl.
Tsk.
Anyway.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY. YOU'RE MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY OLD ALREADY!
Heh.

When we went back to starbucks a few hours later to get drinks, we used the vouchers. The manager was there and he gave us really good service.
Seriously, he deserves better than working at starbucks. Unless he enjoys it. Otherwise I think he should be some high flying director in some company. He speaks well. Haha.
Love that man. HE'S DAMN NICE HE'S DAMN NICE.
Haha. I'm going back more often.
I didn't eat dinner, I watched Daryl eat though.
I said I only wanted desert and Daryl "painfully" suggested a million places but they were all rejected.
I did go to kovan to get tea eggs and other miscellaneous stuff though.
I did go supermarket shopping and found ABC macaroni! =D
Of course I bought it. HAHA.
I didn't get avocados though. There wasn't any. =(
We ate 2/3 of the 6 tea eggs I bought while waiting for Bryan to come home, mixed pineapple and ruby grapefruit juice with a little bit of daddy's desert wine and talked about the J2s (what else can we talk about HAHA) while I sat on the kitchen counter packing my own shelf in the cupboard and he sat outside on the dining bench.
And then Bryan came home and the boys started being computer geeks.
Dance tomorrow, I can't wait! =)
My parents are coming back from Thailand tomorrow, yayes!
I gave mummy a shopping list, with all the things I need for rapture. HAHA. Save my money!
Even though the house was parentless since friday, it didn't feel as though the house was empty. MAYBE BECAUSE YOU TWO KEEP FLYING OVERSEAS?
I'm kinda used to it. I don't like it though.
Being parentless means I have to do a lot of stuff my parents do.
Like call my brother to ask where he is, cook more meals, wash more clothes, wash more dishes, clean more house. Haha.
Not that I don't like doing all those. I enjoy doing them. But it's time consuming. And tiring. Quite.
I competed against the electric kettle today. Haha.
To win the kettle, I had to finish HAND WASHING all the dishes in the sink before the water finished boiling. Not dishwasher wash.
Halfway soaping the dishes, I realised I couldn't win since the eletric kettle took frickin' fast to boil the water. So I changed it to "finish soaping all the dishes to win". Heh.
AND I DID. Not only did I finish soaping all the dishes, mind you there was a whole sink full since I didn't do any dishes on saturday, I also washed a cup, a plate and 3 spoons. HAH.
So childish you cheryl.
Tsk.
Anyway.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY. YOU'RE MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY OLD ALREADY!
Heh.
I had fun.
Hanging out with the J2s as usual.
Watched National Treasure 2 and parts of LOTR.
National Treasure 2 would have been better if the bad guy didn't die.
Dace today felt really really terrible. No idea why, everyone felt so bad.
Zaki did clean ups from 11 to 2. We thought no more dance, can go home!
But there were more clean ups.
Non-existant lunch, since the cafe was closed, nothing much except vending machine food. Even the drinks machine ran out.
Dance on monday.
I should start working man!
Tomorrow, I think we're gonna go shopping!
Maybe, MAYBE I'll be able to get some work done.
Ah see how.
John and Daryl are still playing mahjong with Bryan outside. Haha!
Oh yeah.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUSTBIN
MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS AND WISHES COME TRUE. =)

College Day ceremony, I fell asleep even before it started.
Street fair was fun, better than my expectations of the first saints' carnival organised during my time in SA.
The haunted house was not sucky. In fact some people said it was good. That's good. I was afraid it would suck. Like low quality no scream walk around the basement.
It can be improved on, tiny details here and there. But (i'm starting a sentence with a 'but' again. ah heck.) overall, not bad LAH, good job. =)
Food and beverages ran out too fast. That's my only complaint.
Took a frickin' long MRT ride to the airport after the ceremony ended at 8pm. YES I took the train. =D
Jo was there already but the rest were not. And RJ was already leaving. Haha.
Aud Mich and Beeth finally arrived and we hurried to put everything together before rushing up to the departure area to find RJ. As always, six in a clique does everything at the last minute. But what we manage to put together always rocks. I quote RJ," Yall (we) are cool shit man. Seriously." Haha.
Seeing RJ leave was a little sad. I didn't expect to be that sad since I'm not as close to her as Mich or Aud or Beeth. But once she was out of sight, HAHA.
Nevertheless, every person among the 6 of us is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT and close to my heart.
I miss you already RJ.

Normal school today felt abnormal. Maybe because there were LOOOOOONG breaks between lessons or maybe because there are only 4 scheduled lessons on Thursdays. Whatever it is, you get my point, LAH.
Photo-taking was a blast. We, the crazy people from A9, took our formal shot right in front of the Malay food stall in the cafe. Simply due to the reason that we bond as a class, over Malay food, in the cafe. =) The auntie was very honoured and she lent us her wooden plank she uses to stand on to serve us. Haha. Normal classes all take their photos at the fitness corner.
And for our informal shot, we stood on the field and posed as though there was a hurricane coming from one side. NICE EH. =) Raincoats, umbrellas, ties flying...
Never had so much fun taking class pictures since 4B1's class shots.
Dance was at 630 today, I thought it was at 530. Rargh. But for the first time, I feel as though Broadway is within my dancing abilities. HAHA. Maybe cos the steps got easier? I don't know. =p Still have to practise like MAD to be able to "do without thinking so much".
Tomorrow is College Day, which means NO SCHOOL.
YOU WISH.
JC2s do have one or two lectures. And THEN we're free to walk around the 'street fair' located in the cafe. (Sounds weird)
Found out that Renee's the head councillor for 2009. As a PL Lite, I'm very proud since she's one too. But at the same time, (I know sentences do no start with buts. BUT. heh.) I'm a little disappointed that this "tradition" of sorts has been broken.
Head prefects usually go to a more "exclusive" junior college. So exclusive that it's the only junior college (I think) with uniforms that are green and white.
Haha.
My heartpains are getting worse. Not sharper pain worse but increase in number of times it happens worse.
Today in school it was so bad, I felt as though breathing was a chore.
Was talking to James on the phone today when I laughed a bit too hard and I felt a sharp pain where my heart is.
Mummy says it's because I have not enough rest. I hope it is so.
Gonna send RJ off to Australia tomorrow. She's gonna be studying there for a few years at Trinity college. I'm not looking forward to it.

SCHOOL STARTS AGAIN TOMORROW.
A little bit sad, but a little bit excited too.
A lot of last minute messages, a bit TOO LAST MINUTE.
Had dance from 1230 to 7pm, how to do homework? Dancing again after more than a month, felt terrible. A lot of stuff forgotten, have to polish again.
Costumes are costing a BOMB.
What I need-
Constance/Amanda's item
Red top: $5
Black spag top:$5
Black pants: Borrowing.
Earrings: $5/3
Other accessories(Dog tags- I'm gonna use the "I dated an officer! <3" one I got from comms ball HAHA daddy!, metal bracelets, I borrowed from holy since last year for pulse heh, the spike bracelet I bought for pulse last year) : Borrowing/already have.
Shoes: Already have (my $8 Yuanbo converse-lookalike bought during the Chinatrip last year haha!)
= $12
Athena/Dawn's item:
Mask: $5
Fake diamond bracelet: $2
Feather Boa: Paid by school
Corset: Re-using last year's costume for Lynette's item
Shorts: Yet to get. Buy or borrow.
Fishnet stockings: $5
Footwear: Either boots or maryjanes with heels. $45
Gems to sew on costume: $5
Gloves: Renting. Paid by school.
Netting for the half tutu and workmanship: $31
Belt: $10
= $103, and I still gotta get my shorts.
Mattheus's item:
NO IDEA. Oh dear. It's a bit worrying.
Miss Wee's item:
Overalls: Buying. $40. Or if anyone has, PLEASE LEND ME. Save my money.
Top inside: Borrow or use on of bryan's checked shirts
Boots: Hopefully, would be able to reuse for Zaki's item and Athena/Dawn's item. But for now, $45
= $40 (not taking into consideration the boots, already calculated in Dawn/Athena's item)
Zaki's item:
NO IDEA. Will be settled on saturday.
Opening item:
SAS 2nd uniform: $15
White tennis skirts: Hopefully paid by school, otherwise, about $15?
Shoes: Hopefully paid by school, otherwise, about $15?
= $45
Total costs: Exactly $200. I hope more stuff can be subsidized or borrowed!
Last year's rapture costumes didn't cost me a single cent since all were subsidized by school. But since this year we haven't sold out the tickets, we have no or small budget.
Oh dear. Dear God, You're Jehovah Jireh. Please provide for me.
I'm gonna start eating my $1.10 egg/mayo sandwiches everyday from the pop cafe. This means I save at least $7 a day? I'm taking into consideration all the transport costs I'll chalk up throughout the month, including an already slightly reduced estimated amount of taxi money. So minusing that from my monthly allowance then dividing it among 20 days of school gives me whatever I have for a day in school.
I'm not gonna ask my parents for money, I know for sure they won't be happy paying for costumes for dance, something they do not exactly support me doing. Ahhh.
Oh boy. I'm having money problems.
--------------------------------------
Dinner was out, with the family till 9 plus. But I'm not complaining about that, I had a good dinner.
The 2 women with a child sitting at the table next to ours didn't have a very good dinner though. They kept complaining about everything throughout and the lady with the child beside her seemed to treat the waitresses like flies. She literally flicked her hand outwards a couple of times to shoo "something".
"The first time come, all black. The second time come, totally not cooked inside! I DON'T WANT ALREADY LAH DON'T WANT ALREADY LAH."
"Ah girl, if you don't want, just put on the table, leave it."
"Next door is so much better, next door has better food, next door had better service!"
I'm translating everything directly from mandarin.
Omt come on, what kind of example are you showing your kid?
Besides, even if the food was really that bad, which I thought wasn't, I think it's not very nice to show your displeasure like that.
This lady spoke so loudly that I heard her all the way from the other side of the restaurant. OK so the restaurant was small, but I was at least 2m away. Taking into consideration all the noise coming from the kitchen and the steamboats, to be able to hear her without a problem, is a problem.

Bryan and mummy thought I put on make up today and during dinner they told me to wipe it off.
"Got, there, your cheeks, your eyes..."
Then I said I didn't have any on and mummy didn't believe me until she rubbed my face with her fingers. And then she told daddy," AH SEE, my good genes. Haha, my daughter looks like that because of me."
And daddy went," Ah all the good genes always from you, all the bad genes always from me ah!"
Haha.
Every year, even in primary 1, I answer the same question, whether I have make up on. Haha. I treat it as a compliment. =)
-------------------------------------------
Went out the whole day, shopping with Athena for dance stuff. Dawn Rachel Mings and Winston came along at different times throughout the shopping. Haha.
Had fun buying netting, looking at all the bright and colourful cloths and fabrics, watching the guys figure out how to wear the suits at the costume shop, successfully bargaining with the auntie at peninsular shopping centre over $15 suspenders (we got the price down to 10 buck yayes) and choosing the better looking feather masks in the party shop.
What a day.
Walked a lot though. It was tiring.
And then at home, I managed to doze off when Mr Lee came for my tuition. HAHA.
Today's lesson was one of the most non-productive.
I STILL don't get sampling, hypothesis testing and the whats-that topic. I don't remember what's it called. It's after hypo testing.

I WENT TANNING DOWNSTAIRS BY THE POOL AND IT FELT SO GOOD TO BE UNDER THE RAYS OF THE SUN
though it's a bit harmful. =)
Didn't really get any darker. Just a bit. =(
And then I almost finished reading my H2 lit text when I soaked in the jacuzzi. SHIOK.
