Sing Me To Heaven

The long and arduous week is finally over! Hurray!

I was so thrilled right after Chemistry paper today, and have been feeling uber-high ever since. Like from right after the exam ended till right now. It's like 3:30am Friday morning, and I'm not giving any shit about tomorrow and what's up and all...

So I got home at like 4 plus after lunch with some exam-drained people, which really includes me. You know how it is when you are all focussed and fine-tuned to exam mode and nothing else seems to make sense, and then when it all ends abruptly its just a little awkward, here and there.

Scatterbrains aside,

I got ready upon reaching home. Bathed. Dressed. Sms-ed Hidayah with my numb thumb (freaking thing is still dysfunctional). Grabbed an iCafe Mocha from the fridge. Rushed down and caught 38. And I made my way to meet her at Small Macs.

Well it was good that she was kinda delayed by some full buses, if not she'd have to wait for me for an extremely long while!

Oh - and I forgot to mention. Why was I meeting Dear Hidayah?

'Cos we were going for this concert by the Raffles Chorale at the Victoria Concert Hall, called "Sing Me To Heaven". Well before that we met Amy, and waited while she had her Yoshinoya, and Hidayah entertained me with the entire low-down on the movie "Aquamarine" which got me into random outbursts of chuckles. Super weird plot.

But she watched with the someone sweet, super weird also.

So then we made our way to Raffles Place Station. And the entire freaking time I had this impression that people's eyes were trained on me like everywhere, like I had something terribly wrong about me. Which led me to realise, from Amy, that I am a very self-conscious person.

And what I know of self-conscious people is that they usually have an extremely low self-esteem. Do I?

But seriously, who cares 'bout how people look at you? We constantly forget that it doesn't even make any bloody difference 'cos these people you pass in public don't even know you in the first place! Makes so much sense right!

Yeah so back to the concert. We got there like right in time. And somebody sweet had managed to keep like three seats of us. This saved us the hassle, no doubt, and we could sit with our own people too lah.

So I plonked myself between Amy and Davin. And 2 seats to my left and right were Bryan and Hidayah. I think the audience there, like generally, they were great, so much better than those that are from our school. I mean frankly, at least they observe the basic codes of conduct, to say the least.

The songs performed were great, but somehow or another, I felt that the performance went by like quite quickly. PUNCH, the a capella group had some comic relief amidst the intense chamber music. And boy, they were fantastic. They managed to make the audience erupt into peals of laughter, and the songs they sang were like, whoa. There was the Alumni Choir too, and they are like seasoned pros man.

After the credits rolled and the encore-ing session ensued, we proceeded to just plant our asses on our seats for the time being, 'cos a huge swarm was heading towards the stage, presumably well-wishers and pals of the choristers. Then, we went to look for Mr Toh, the conductor. No wait, our conductor. Spoke with him, and then we left.

Met up with the other guys from our side (excuse the terms used, my back's aching and I wanna just burrow into my bed right away) and they wanted to go to Lau Pa Sat. And so the walk towards Lau Pa Sat began. And when we finally got there, Nic and I started to kiss.

See!

Nyahaha! Nolah... we were just posing, after several inspirations we got from some poster behind us. Here is our first try which wasn't entirely successful. (Nic too far lah!)

And here's Zi Jing trying his best to give his little char siews on the plate a smooch.

Right, then we bought Satay to share among like Hidayah, Jerome, Nicholas and myself. And boy was it good! Bryan was like, trying to make eating Satay all erotic and hot and bothered. Haha!

And so after that we headed back to the MRT Station and went on our way home!
So thats how I spent the very first leg of my PEFA, which is Post Examinations Fun Activities in short.

God. I am seriously lacking some much-needed snooze. Like right now. And I've gotta wake up early for brunch. Mothers' Day brunch to be exact. We're celebrating early, so more updates on that like later on this afternoon alright!
