17 of June ----- Haiz ... not feeling very well. Actually wanted to meet up with Roy and Chong En for breakfast at 9.30am but i after i woke up at 9, i couldn't find the strength to move around. Whenever i try to move to somewhere, i will be like dragging my legs to make myself move. Since i am so sick, i decided not to meet up for breakfast but go to school at 10.15am cause have to reach school by 11am to attend the meeting with the ex-cos. The meeting started at 11.56am till 2.15pm. The meeting was to discuss about the camp but Roy does not seem to be very happy with the performance of the ex-cos on that day.
After the meeting at 2.30pm, we had Choral assessment but because i am sick so i cannot conduct warm-ups. I called for the SLs (Sectional leaders) to meet me and i told them that i am not feeling well so i want them to conduct the warm-ups. They hear liao than all very stunned. They say they dont know how to than i say that just follow wat i always do loh... like breathing exercise etc. So than Mr. Yoh came at around 2.54pm and he started to do warm-ups and than start actual assessment.
While they are singing, me and Roy are just sitting behind watching. After that i have to go out and buy ice-creams for David Chai so i went out with Roy and we bought bubbletea and Ice-cream. We reached back school at around 4.15pm. When David saw his Ice-cream, he's like very happy so he went out to eat it. Than we ended choir at around 4.30pm but i stayed awhile and than i went home.
18 of June ----- Woke up and went to school. Reached school quite late and not really feeling very well. After that we had a small meeting than we had practices for NDP at around 9am? I not really sure what happened that day but if I'm not wrong, we had vocal training done by your dearest Student Conductor; Anthony =) Anyway, we went through the songs and than tired to get the right pitch but some of them are like fooling around. Well i didn't really do anything to it because i am not feeling very well in the 1st place. As Miss Mo is not around (cause she had meeting and dont know wat course), some of the students will try to defy us, thats when i started to get very angry but i cant shout! Feel very down at that moment.
After training and reassuring the steps, i gave them a break for about 10mins and than we continued the singing part. After the singing, they are suppose to come back by 12.45pm. Braxton, a sec 1 boy taking part in NDP, stayed behind to play his PSP and i also stayed behind because i am holding the keys and there must be someone looking after the bags. But i got Han Inn to get me a fillet-o-fish meal from mac. After they come back, i gave them a rest from 12.45pm to around 1pm than we started to sing and dance at the same time. At 1st, some was very blur. But after more and more practices, they are getting better and better. Miss Mo and Miss Khng came and brought us to the foyer to wait for the bus which will be fetching us to the floating platform. The bus came at around 2++pm and we were all very excited cause its the 1st time they are going to the platform.
Reach the platform and found out that we are the 2nd school to reach. Queenstown was 1st. After about 1hour or so, all schools have arrived, put our valuables in our bags and our bags putted into a plastic bag for the NS guys to keep watch of it. After that, because of the lightning risk alert, we had to do something indoor so we practiced the singing part. While singing, i found out that our school's participant are all singing the girls part while they are suppose to sing the guys. Than Miss Mo's face totally changed and some of us was like: "Dy liao la ... Miss Mo so angry ... Go back sure kenna one." Well after the singing, we had 5min of break than we had to move to somewhere where we got enough space for practicing.
We went throught all 8 songs and than Mr Lennie said that we can now move out. So we followed our officer-in-charge and he position us and we walk us to the platform. The platform has 3 components. The 1st is the bridge, than is the very soft ground and finally the dangerous stairs which has 3 ways but only 2 handling. After we roughly know where we are suppose to stand, than we had dinner and than Jade came over to our school to tell us that some people are doing the surprise near the toilet. After she left, Miss Mo said that she was rude and didn't even greet her. I was like very random and said: "Maybe she dont know you're a teacher. You look so young."
After dinner, Jade kept bugging me to ask Captain Ng for permission to use the platform to perform our items. Well i could not find him so i ask my officer-in-charge to help us ask. After that we had to go back to school and than go home. When i reach home, i think i fainted right after i bath cause i totally forgot what happened form 8pm all the way to around 3am when i suddenly wake up. Well very sick that day so cant help it.
19 of June ----- Woke up on time and feel much better from my illness but still have some gastric problem and sore-throat. Went to school to meet Roy. Miss Mo had meeting on that day also so cannot find her. At around 2pm, i called Miss Mo and ask her to draw the key for us. She said that the keys was drawn by some engineers so we will have to ask him if we can use the room. So Yun Hong, our President, went up and asked. The guy was fixing the computers and he said that we can use the rest of the room. So all of us went up and than settled down. Because of my sore-throat, i cant sing again so i asked SLs once again but i found out that this time they were not doing their duties properly, i had to activate our H.G.F.S; Ying Wei. I dont know wat he do than after awhile, i saw the conductor so i quickly peeped in and told them that the conductor is here. After the conductor walked in, we greeted him, than i started to have gastric pains and its quite severe, at first i wanted to call Miss Mo to inform her that i need to go out of school to have a bite but than i remembered that she had a very important meeting so i did not. After grabbing a bite at the kopitiam, as we were on our way back, Miss Mo called me and scolded me for not telling her that i went out without telling her. So i apologized and than went back to the room. That day choir's performance was good. Able to finish 1 and a half song. After that we were dismissed and than we had a small chit chat session than we all went home.
20 of June ----- Well had meeting with the ex-cos and this time, it was Yun Hong and Jia Jun, the President and Vice-President, chairing the meeting because Roy is having breakfast with Chong En while Miss Mo had another meeting. Than the objective is to reassure the NDP attendance and the camp activity proposal. The meeting ended quite late, like around 10.33am. Than they all want to go but mac than come back eat but because student leader had to meet at around 11am, Ying Wei had to rush all the way back from mac to school in less than 30mins time. After they left, Roy and Chong En came. After that Han inn, Brandon and Gabriel came. After all leaders meet, I tried to get Miss Mo to get the keys but we found out that the shuttle was closed. So Roy called the auntie who has all the keys and she opened it for us. After that we had training than training ended quite late. I dont want to talk about how the training goes because its the same thing all over again. But someone came to our school. It was Jade. She came over to teach us the 'BYE BYE BYE' song and to finish up the banner with us. After that, we went to eat at the vegetarian stall at block 529. After that we all went home.
21 of June ----- Today we had the 1st combine rehearsal where all the school come together and go through a whole day practice. At first have to go to school for rehearsal. After that had lunch break and than came back and we all pack up to go to the foyer to wait for the bus. The bus came late, at around 1pm or so, after everyone board the bus, it drove off. Half way through the journey, Chu Rui called me and told me that he outside the floating platform liao and the officers dont allow him to enter. Than i was like very stunned. Because we are still on the way than he very fast la, so fast reach liao. I told him to wait outside so that when we reach, we can see you very clearly. Wat was unexpected was that the bus did go to the floating platform but it went to some hotel pick-up area to let us alight. Than we were suppose to walk all the way to this place which looked like a mini-hall. And than i suddenly thought of Chu Rui. He is still at the platform so i told Miss Mo. She ask Scott to go fetch him back. When we reach the mini-hall, we were suppose to sit in the position so we did. After awhile, i found out that Woodgrove sat beside Chu Rui. Than when Jade saw me, she kept on bugging me to go and ask Captain Ng for permission to perform the surprise. Than i was like very worried because Miss Mo was in quite a bad mood that day. But she did not disagree so i went to look for Captain Ng along with Jade. Than Captain Ng brought us to this Captain who is suppose to be in charge of all choir matters. So we told him every single bit of detail that we can give. Than out of the blue, he said this, " Do you know that next week is Ms McCully's 60th birthday." Both of us was like very stunned. So Jade made a little joke by saying, " So must we buy teddy bear for her?" I was like ... very random. So the Captain told us that if we want to perform the surprise, they can provide us with the AV equipments and we will have to do it at the mini-hall. So we were more than happy to hear that. Than we told the Captain that we will need to see all leaders except for St. Margrets. The Captain looked very stunned and ask why. We told him that St. Margrets dont wan to get involve in this. So he went over to try to ask Mr. Lennie if all leaders could come out for awhile. Than Mr. Lenny started to shoot question at us but naturally, we dodge and told him that we cant tell him. Than we were deciding whether to tell Miss Sim or not to tell but in the end, we told her. Than when she heard that St. Margrets did not wan to get involved, She said, " Why they so dao ?" When we heard her saying this, we were very stunned. But after that Miss Sim told Mr. Lennie and Mr. Lennie agreed to give us 30min time during early-dinner break. When the time for the dinner comes, Mr. Lenny said this, " Ok. All student leaders please give your attention to the 2 leaders in front. They got something to say." We were like very stunned. Than Miss Sim took over. She said, " Can all leaders except for St. Margrets please come out to meet the 2 leaders." After all leaders came out, we went to somewhere quite far away to practice. We overshot the time Mr. Lenny gave us. After like 40min, Gabriel ran all the way to ask us to go back because they distributing the props and dinner. We ran like thats no tomorrow and sat at our own place, sweating like hell. After dinner, we headed to the platform and had an actual rehearsal. I shall not say anything much about the process because people will all fall sleep by than. While we were waiting for the finale, me and Ying Wei was quite bored and we saw Scott and Joseph behind Jade so i suggest that we go over. We went over and i started to play the bombing game. At first it was only within our school but after a while, it became from within the school to other schools like for example, Montfort kept bombing Woodgrove and Siglap. After a while, we were called to the stage and called off the stage so we were quite frustrated. Than we were called to the mini-hall to pack up and we were suppose to leave the place. We went up the bus at around 9pm++ and reached school at around 10pm++. Than i took a bus home and reached home at around 11pm++. Well quite tiring ... Went home 1st thing, bathe than sleep.
