It's been a truly hectic week at school, what with extra lessons everyday. On Monday and Tuesday, I finally realised that not eating at the canteen during recess is not that bad after all. I would not die from starvation like I'd thought earlier. In fact, not eating would save me timeand money, and I'd have time off to complete undone, overdue homework.
But time seems to pass so fast in the classroom. It's like before you know it, its back to classes again. I guess it's just due to the fact that there weren't any changes in landscape (meaning I didn't get up from my seat), and all I could really see was the scalp of the person in front of me.
And I noticed the picnic that would take place in class during recess time. Buns, sandwiches, cookies, what have you, would litter the classroom desks. People would eat, contentedly, as if their work was haunting them the whole while.
Well, its just what I've noticed. Its mundane I know, but i can't find anything much to really blog about. I asked Karen for suggestions for blog topics, and she asked me to write about "The Shoe". Rather random.
Oh and I forgot to mention, last Saturday I was at Big Jam at Suntec! Supporting Xin Min, rising starlet, soon-to-be overnight celebrity... She gave us Audience Passes, which plonked us on the very very front, closest to the stage. Yes, and we were made to cheer for her a la 5566 and F4 wannabes and groupies. It was maddening. The way people can scream and cheer, the way people can blow their whistles. And yes, I got my ears blown too.
And I truly got to see the ugly Singaporean. While we were waiting for the show to start, some inconsiderate, unkind people decided to plant their asses down on the floor, when everyone else were packed like sardines, standing up! And one certain Auntie could even stretch out her legs! Despite very obvious and frank remarks from us, particularly me, they still had their asses glued to the ground! Like hello!?!? People are finding it hard to breathe, let alone stand, and you're just gonna watch us from down there? Very rude, very kiasu behaviour, very typically Singaporean.
And the whole while, we watched as despotic Ah Lians and Ah Huays reached out to grab any charming guy singing on stage. And when they eventually got to, they would turn to their friends and smirk. Truly gross behaviour exhibited, I just couldn't help it. Initially I wanted to defame the abovementioned offenders by posting their photos up here, but count them lucky this time, cause Karen can't upload the shots. I guess they're all just trying too hard.
We stayed throughout the entire performance of all 18 bands. Some were good, as if they've been doing that for their entire life, while some basically sucked. Xin Min was part of Glamours, the only 5-girl girl band of the lot. They were good, I hope they get through to the next round.
Karen's got all the pictures we took there on that very day. There was Karilynn, Annabelle, Jia Yi, Adeline, Melyssa and Taariq. And although standing for 2 hours plus was a killer, we survived and had a smashing great time!
