Highness...

Aaaand... It's me! The unholy one! Here to bring you news that'd sound weirder in a year! It's a Tuesday and it's a rather late update for us peeps...

Concert... post concert... sanitary pads... condoms... pot luck... and fun with props!

~Concert Day~

The SP Choir, recently held a concert at the VCH, 23rd September 2007. Ever since this choir formed back earlier in the year, we have all been working hard for this concert... and finally... it happened!

The first half of the concert featured foreign pieces, which names would tie your tongue tighter than peter piper picking pickles... ridiculously long spanish song titles like "Amor que une con el amor grandisimo", which meant the love that binds the greatest love, which is fundimentally redundant to say, *he looks up the dictionary. Under redundant, it says 'see: redundant'*

Look... we don't know spanish... the audience didn't know spanish... we were essentially... spanishless... and still... we sang... for the love of god... we sang... we had sung this song for ever... and it would be a total waste to not let the audience hear it... though from their contorted faces, they were trying to spot english amongst the gabber jabber...

Then... the four fifths of the 5 hebrew love songs were done... we left out the bong bong song, cause our alto section just seemed to in sync with each other... which is a good thing... the song was bad...

Little applause we had... till the Ngee Ann people came out... they did the horse saddle song and Oh Danny Boy. One of the reasons why we didnt do the 4th hebrew song was cause the NP choir was also doing a bong bong song... the horse saddle one... ew... won't mention nothing... they're not bad... they got a louder applause than the songs we did... oh well... they've been doing this song since ages ago... so it's expected...

Then combined!! We just sang... we lost consciousness at this point... and we were all set to autopilot... sang and sang and sang... till the end of the first half...

Denise came backstage to say goodbye at this point... she had to leave for New York the next day so couldn't blame her... at this point in time... Wei Xin was "It's too bad Denise can't stay for our second half..." But in twenty minutes from then... his opinion on that matter changed entirely...


For the second half... Xing! came out first... Secret Garden sounded really good backstage... then it was time for Wei Xin's and Matthew's "Lily's eyes"... it went... pleasantly well...

I apologise at this point... cause I've lost all highness in the matter... so this is just my mind's dairy of the thing... we did our three pieces... I got beaten up by Joe... for my solo... I snapped... oh well...

I more or less forgot what happened after that till the end of the concert... Wei Xin proposed... we all hailed Joe... exhausted... disbelief it was ending... who knew...

At the end, we did our encore... Joe sang with us! Then... headed backstage to pack up... flowers... pictures... CHOCOLATE!! Yea... Denise brought chocs from her previous business trip, if I'm not wrong... she really shouldn't have... but yea! Brussel Chocs!

We headed our seperate ways... Matthew, Wei Xin and I headed to Makan Sutra to eat with a couple of their friends... along with Sha... Wei xin bought 2 plates of food... I bought $10 worth of cockles! Whee... highness! Now this story has been circulating, thanks to Wei Xin but I'll still put it up anyway... here's what happened...

*Picks up one to chew*

Kenneth: Bleah... this one's bad...

Melissa: Ew... spit it out!

Kenneth: Naw, I'm still chewing... *continues gnawing*

Then I met my match... 30-40 odd cockles later, I picked a huge one to eat... turned out bad... couldn't take it... so I spat it out... not a pretty sight... moving on...


~An hour later~

Walking home... Wei Xin and I had some fun with the roads...

Tired shitless... I trudged across a really long road... the green man turned red, and I, seeing it changed, stopped, in the middle of the road. Now this was 1am in the morning, mind you... after our concert... we were all piss-drunk, high, and generally mental by this time... it simply didn't occure to me that I should continue walking... I'm following the law after all...

Then, 10 minutes later, being much higher, I decided to lie on the road... now this was for fun... but it didn't really last cause as soon as I put my head down, a car sped towards me... never did the word "Car!" mean so much as to that moment... after that one, Wei Xin decided to sit on
road to wait for the next car... and so we did... and finally, when we were done, we headed back to sleep... school was about to start in 5 hours...


~Monday, the high day~

Now, not that we were drunk... just that after the concert we just wanted to do crazy things... let's make a list...

- Pot Luck

- Pre-Pot luck Preparations

- Pot Luck itself

Alright... not that huge a list... but briefly... in about another thousand words, I'll try to describe what happened...

"Pot luck is on! Everyone bring food tomorrow! Alright!" Pictures didn't do the concert just... so this was a first... and it was on...

Joanna "I'll be buying cakee!"

Mark "Curry Puffs!"

Kenneth "Drinks and balloons! Banners and shit!" *Note: balloons didn't happen... shit happened, though...

And so, we all went around to get various stuff for Pot Luck! Yay!


Ahem... we all ended school early... our booth was essentially, boothless... love to use that line... posters gone, cloth dissapeared... we were booth-napped! So... with the whole afternoon to kill, and odd trio, Kenneth, Wei Xin and Nicole, headed to Clementi for lunch... little did we know... lunch was just the beginning...

Odd ideas started popping into our minds... Wei Xin went on about his own chain of food stalls called "Surprise!" Chicken Surprise! What's the surprise? It's beef! Chicken embedded in a cake, and ice cream embedded in chickens! On and on... awesomeness...

All I wanted to do was to say "Hi!" to random people off the streets... nothing much...

So... lunch... Wei Xin had ordered Milo bing without bing... bing=ice, for those dumb ones... then I didn't know what to eat... so here's the conversation that went on with me and the store owner...

"Hi, can I help you?"

"What's good to eat...?"

"Try the spaghetthi."

"Er... okay... do you think I should get chicken chops or beef chops?"

"Chicken chop."

"Beef chop it is..."

"How do you want it done?"

"Raw..."

"... You mean medium rare?"

"I said 'raw'... alright... medium rare would do..."

Amazingly, he didn't flinch at all when we did this... he must get that alot... The beef came extra crispy... he cooked the shit out of it... medium rare... wow...

But of course... it wasn't the end...

We went to NTUC... bought drinks and chips... here's the conversation with the cashier...

"Nets or cash?"

"How much is it...?"

"$10.65 please."

"Er... great... here's a 10... here's a 10 cents... 5 cents... good..."

At this point, I wondered why she didn't take the money... Nicole then put a 50 cents on the table and she took it all...

"Nicole... why did you give her 50 cents? I wanted abit of coins in my pocket..."

*dumbstruck*

And so we stood there, for about half a minute... just waiting... wondering why she didn't give me change... then wondered why she was serving other people... then...

"OOOH.... I thought there was change..."

Confused... we left...


Thinking back now... it still seemed like a dream... we lived a dream that day... though... we're sure it's not a dream...


Wei Xin: Let's get sanitary pads for banner!

Kenneth: That's like the coolest la!

So to Watsons we headed, and bought Sanitary pads... and somewhere along the way condoms and hello panda... whee... now after leaving the store did the gravity of the situation hit us...

Wei Xin: Shit... the highness of the whole thing is wearing off now...

Kenneth: Yea... now what do we do with the condoms...

No balloons that night... Oh well...


Pot luck came and went... I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed myself... though I don't know if I can say the same to the rest... cake... curry puff... drinks... sweets... other things... forfeits... small games... funness... haha... oh well...

Well... that's just about enough I can take today... we had fun with the condoms... at least I did... oh well...
