Tuesday was the longest day of the week.

20th May.
SMK BL choir performed at Crowne Plaza for State-Level Teacher's Day celebration. And because many students were involved, the school decided not to have exams on Tuesday. So thank us because ya'll have one extra day to cram all the information from your textbooks into your brains :D Lol.

How was my Tuesday? Here's a recap.

500 hrs- Wake up
610 hrs- Go to school hoping to reach before 630 otherwise teacher *piang* us. haha. Punctual bah. I'm known for not being punctual at times.

So I reached school before 630 and went to bilik kuliah, grab my clothes and went to change at the toilet. The school was rather empty and quiet, the sky was still blue. Oh, how serene! The toilet was dark o.O
When everyone arrived, we did our vocal warm-ups and stuff.

730 hrs- Walk out to SM Teknik (in heels! haha.. I wasn't as smart as Lina early in the morning). Bus leaves for Crowne Plaza. Air-conditioned! Yay! The bus was in really good condition, high-classed. I want that bus. Haha.

-REHEARSAL-

So we waited backstage for like.. VERY LONG! I could have walked half the distance of the entire Great Wall of China .. haha. My feet were sore, tired eyes. After the rehearsal was completed, the people there asked for another round. It was already about 11, nearing 12 noon by then and I had to go home and go back to school by 3pm! So I stayed for the 2nd round of rehearsal but skipped the finale rehearsal.


1500 hrs- At bilik kuliah, air-conditioned. Yipee. Ralph was sleeping on the floor (photo at Lina's blog).
We had hair and make-up session.

Von. Eugene. Azizul

Then we left school around 530pm. Had dinner at that space just outside Sarawak Chamber. That space became the choir's spot for the night. Azizul's camera was the 'IT' camera. Ralph spent the most time with it, snapping loads of pictures with it. Ralph the paparazzi :) While having dinner, Aaron showed us girls some magic trick- he 'ate' my money. Yes, ATE. He put the 10cent coin into his mouth and he won't tell me where it went. Haha.

We started getting ready backstage around 7 something, I don't know. I didn't wear a watch. And yes, we WAITED ..FOR SO THE VERY LONG. We grumbled backstage. Haha. Some even brought their books to study. Can go in meh? :P

*Fast-forward, skip the performances. Lol*

The event ended, boarded the bus back to school. Boy oh boy was it quiet. I guessed eveyone was just so tired to even talked about the night. Reached school, my mom was already there. Thank you, mom, for picking me up. I know it was very late and what more to say the next day was a school day. Reached home close to 12 midnite so I quickly washed up and went to bed. Not more than 7 hours later, I was back in school again! Lol

All in all, it was a good experience. IT WAS A VERY LONG NIGHT THOUGH. I couldn't wait to get home and lie on my bed and Zzzzzzz. But I was sad the fun was over. However........ there's another choir event next Wednesday! Haha.

Akasyah & Zaty

Just outside Sarawak Chamber, where we had our dinner like homeless people - sit on the floor and anywhere else as long as can eat. But we are civilised people, k? Lol.

Lina .. wih her famous erh.. expression. Lol

What is a night at Crowne Plaza without.. Susan? Haha.

They call him Eugene. Akasyah calls him 'Celaka Boy'. I call him SEXEH NERD! Awesome violin playing, Gene :) He asked me to take this picture.

After many rounds of Geylang si paku geylang, some guests were leaving but many were still hanging around in the ballroom and we students wanted to go home, our hands were tired because we kept waving and clapping to the song, the Caklempong was still playing on. I could see the teacher-in-charge of the Caklempong signalling the students to play on and I was like 'Oh, please stop..". Haha. So, there was a long pause with only the melody of the song in the background and then someone started singing again so we all sang along too, this time, more emphasis to the song and full of expression.

Geylang si paku geylang
Geylang si rama-rama
PULANG marilah PULANG marilah PULANG bersama-sama
PULANG marilah PULANG marilah PULANG bersama-sama.

Sometimes, they just have to listen between the lines. Haha. It was so funny, what happened on stage, I cracked myself up.
