two weeks

Two busy weeks, to be precise... even the weekends have been crammed full of activity and studying.

Makes me wonder why I went for the Quad Party... after the Mid-Autumn celebration/bbq, no less. For which I ended up dancing in a long green skirt and pink windbreaker, because Kul needed a ChangEr for Anthony's HouYi. Oh and the suns died pretty amusing deaths, I must say. No mooncakes for me though... *sighs* and then the Friday night mood took over, sending me over to Miri's room to figure out what to wear to the quad party in place of clothes.

And then the study mood pushed me back to making FCP notes at about 10pm. Thankfully that mood lasted over the weekend and right up to lunch time on Wednesday, or I wouldn't have studied as much as I did, what with choir rehearsals and practicing for the competition. The midsem wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... pretty sure I won't fail it. *crosses fingers*

I'm just glad that Talent Night was after FCP. I doubt I could have had that much fun otherwise. Congrats to Chris Lee, you're amazing man!

Susanty!!!

Thanks to everyone who came!

Then Thursday night comes by and guess what? There's choir again! (what's new...?) And Spring Feast! Where I had pulut hitam... sweet corn... teh tarik... honeydew sago... chicken satay... and got to watch Chris perform again! wonder where that random waterbottle came from though. Did anyone note its trajectory before it hit the stage and burst?

As for Friday, well... I meant to finish up FCP in the afternoon, but went shoe shopping (alone... *sniffles*) instead. How I managed to spend TWO WHOLE HOURS on a single pair of simple, not-too-formal, low-heeled black shoes, I'll never know. In YY's words... black formal shoes... you'd think it would be easy. but noooo...........

And then Saturday was gone too, in a rush of preparing for the Ball, singing, dressing up, taking College photos and dressing up again, before finally scrambling onto the bus to Hilton. It was an enjoyable night, to say the least...

Someone's hungry... and the bus isn't even here yet!

Me, Gen, Fabian, Joy, Jono, Miriam, Chin Loon

Ericius and Melvin...

Highlights of the night:1. dessert! I got to eat chocolate cake!!! SAFE chocolate cake, with chocolate, chocolate sauce and chocolate ice cream. sheer bliss. I will forever be thankful to the chef for creating a menu suited to pickypickyme.

2. Wilson got so drunk he fell asleep halfway through dinner and had to take a taxi back to college...
3. Funny... I thought I had more pictures of the dance floor... oh well, doesn't matter. Pretty much everyone was dancing, and I must say, there's quite a number of good dancers. Yes Jono, I look forward to dancing with you again too! I didn't know most of the songs, but who cares... all so dance-inducing... Oh and if my hair looks red, it's because Miri and I coloured it that day. And washed it off again that night.
4. Turns out Ericius was drunk enough to get us to sing Locus Iste, This Joy, Bogor (can't spell the full title) and Ave Verum Corpus on the bus back to college (and not really remember it the next day). The most interesting comment of the night? "These Asians... how can they sing so well when they're drunk?" Why thank you, we got the right starting notes and stayed on pitch. (But I don't drink.)

The next three days were taken up by mugging, choir, more mugging, more choir, and falling sick. gah. And if that wasn't enough... there was still more mugging and more choir! Just look at the to-do list in the last post and you'll know what I mean.

As with every other performance... I'm relieved that the concert is over (no more hectic practices on top of school work... almost exam time...), but there's still that sense of loss. Well... I think "The Great Southland" was well done... as were "Receive the Power" and "Locus Iste". Wonder what everyone thinks of "O Bone Jesu"? I haven't heard anything about it... On the other hand... "Ecce Fidelis Servus" lacked emotion, and "Festival Sanctus" lacked energy. Again, thanks to everyone who came!

singing made me hungry...
