Yesterday & The Day Before Yesterday
okay, quick update on my whereabouts for these two days.
so on friday, last SJAB training, excluding the camp that is. jeremy and "meng and kay siong" had some grudges against each other. then, jeremy shouted at me for no rhyme or reason when i was kindly telling him how to deliver a message across effectively and efficiently. he said something like "i am not the commander" or something. for more information, check my previous entry on a letter to him. ;)
if you think that such incident would affect my mood for the day, you are absolutely wrong. after training, ming wei, jie xun, job, kenneth, rui yang (yes RUI YANG!) and I went to KBox. then on our way there on the bus, we were like talking about our childhood. we talked about our classmates, the games we played with pri sch mates, canteen food, teachers and not forgetting, the once ppular cartoon characters like Power Rangers, Superman, Batman, Ultraman, Digimon, Tamagotchi...etc. Okay, i used et cetera because I dont know most of the characters they had mentioned. Fine, say that i have no childhood.
So at KBox, jie xunsuddenly became very high and strated singing songs after songs, back-to-back some more. Sang like 3 Jay Chou rapping songs and 3 Wong Lee-Hom songs at one go. thats not the usual him... hmmm...
Next day, we had the SJAB Zone 7 Annual Presentation. we had approximately 1 1/2 hours of rehearsal before the actual parade. that stupid officer, halim, said something like "Now is not the actual day, but actually today is the actual day, so save your energy for later. Now is just rehearsal". This may not be the exact quote, but he definitely said something to that extent. Grammactical errors aside, but just the logic of the statement is baffling enough already.
Guess what, the rehearsals were smooth. No mistakes were made. Until the actual parade, all our "true colours" were revealed. Arm swings became out, commands were given wrongly, everything became a MESS! oh well.
the nightmare wasnt over yet. later in the afternoon, we adjourned to the auditorium, only to be welcomed by more mediocrity. we had two emcees who speak with a very strong singlish accent. the chinese emcee wasnt that bad, but the english-speaking one was.... embarassing. His diction was bad, very bad actually. "Thank You" was pronounced as "tank-cute" , "Cecilia" was called "CeLILIA" and "Matthias" was hilariously mispronounced as "Mat-ti-ass" . Then, we had several Commisoners and Chief Commisoners with their speeches. Ok, due to the fact that they are old and elderly and had probably received less education or education of a lower quality, "i shall be nice and not say anything", as quoted from Dick Lee in a recent Singapore Idol episode.
worst of all, was the prize-giving ceremony. due to bad organisation and planning, all the trophies-winners received trophies that do not belong to them. The champion team received trophies originally meant for the 1st-runner up, yah, mistakes of such extent were committed. then, during the awarding of the commisioner badges, out of the 25 awardees, only 3 turned up, with the other 22 absent with reason. So, there was awakard silence during the reading out of names of those who didnt turn up. and when a present awardee finally responded, everyone in the auditorium gave him/her a VERY big round of applause. -_-"
oh well, jason, i know you hate reading entries with complaints and grumblings, sorry for that.
next, photo-taking, it was a lame one, with the girls at the back giggling non-stop and yakking about childish and immature stuff. definitely not the type that will capture my attention. oh well, should stop talking bad of girls.
then, about 10 of us went for movie. travelled to PS only to find that there werent enough tickets for the ten of us to sit together and hug each other during a terrifying scene. Yah, we wanna watched "Shutters". So in the end, we had "food-court dinner" there and travelled up north to J8 to catch the movie. It was, well, frightening. :p meng, kay siong, ming hao, rui yang, kai herng and i did cover our eyes at some parts of the film. as for the others, i presume they didthe same as well. ;) but it was afterall, a great terrifying production with a sensible plot.
ok, phew! this is what i call a "long post". gui rong, your "long posts" are incomparable to mine. hehe. ;)
