Phew.
Today was pretty tiring. First up, I had to wake up early, okay not so early, at 8.45 because Theodore was supposed to come over at 9. Well I would have been woken up anyway, since Hannah called me right after my mum walked out my bedroom. So anyway, Theodore came late in the end and I left slightly earlier so I didn't even see him.
Didn't have to wait too long for the bus, and when I arrived at school there were the 207b people waiting at the audi, I went up to the benches and guess what? NO ONE WAS THERE. So I went back to the audi and realised that EVERYONE was at the tnnis court. lol. But it was going to be 10 so I just followed Natalie to the swings. Since anyway, the tennis court was already pretty full.
We managed to get the 208 classroom to rehearse. OMG rehearsals were tiring and irritating. Because most of our main characters were absent. D: Jan, Delena, Zhenmay, Wanting and Xinyung. We spent like the first hour settling Elena's scene. It took forever to decide and settle stuff, and we had to keep on redo-ing and redo-ing. And by the time we carried on all our actors suddenly disappeared. -.-
In total we only had like 1 full rehearsal. Which had breaks everywhere. Why? Because people kept disappearing, and no one listens. D: And everyone kept gettng distracted. And then when we spent time looking for them, the others disappeared. And where do we find them? In 207b. Hmph. Well I know its kind of boring when it's not your turn, but it's important to know the entire play well right? D:
So yeah, I'm very happy with the sound team though. They did an excellent job getting all the sound effects. So applause for you all. Everyone except ELENA brought their 'costume' so thank you. But anyway, all the outfits have been confirmed. And Jan I'm sorry you still have to be a grandma, because you're Ali's Poopie see? Unless you can come up with sth else. And everyone memorised their lines, though most of us kept forgetting. But at least there was effort shown.
But seriously, after like 3 hours of rehearsal, we only rehearsed twice. TWICE. Anyway, I guess I'll have to type out the transitions lah. Since we didn't really rehearse much and only a bunch of us know the transitions. And only some of us really understood the transitions.
It was kind of funny, since the whole 207 was there, everybody ended up going out with each other. Well for Grace Munning and Myself, we already arranged so yeah. So we ended early since both sides refused to rehearse anymore, and we took a bus to Newton and then from Newton we went to city hall and walked to suntec. The journey was torturous. We were hungry and our feet hurt. D:
But of course they insisted to get the ring first. I expected so much, I didn't really mind anyway. They managed to get their rings but they aren't the same because it was out of stock. I considered buying actually, but since they were out of stock I didn't say anything. Anyway, I'm not
that crazy, and my brother already has it. Now I just have more savings so I guess I'm quite okay. The rings were pretty expensive. I guess if I really want one then I shall wait till 2012 when the next stock comes out. Because I don't, maybe after watching the movie I'll like it, I haven't exactly watched the entire movie. I fell asleep see? And also it'll be cheaper. My brother bought his at the fair, so the not so real on was 20+ and the real one was close to $40. Add them both together and its still cheaper :D
We went walking a bit more and then we finally found pasta mania and had our lunch. I ate extremely slowly, you can ask Munning and Grace :D Well it was because I forgot to bring my retainer container so I had to eat with it and I tell ya its no easy task! And towards the end they counting down on how many penne left I had to go. They kept making me laugh and then it would get stuck in the molar hole of my bottom retainers and it is extremely difficult to remove.
After that we went to bugis to look at more shops. We brisk walked all the way, it was really tiring. And when Munning starts brisk walking she is a machine! It was so tiring trying to keep up with her. Grace was jogging along! :D
I took an MRT home after that. The journey was short sadly. And as usual my feet hurt but I really couldn't care less. I sort of blasted my music, but I could still hear the sound of the MRT. It sounded even clearer in fact. Maybe because I was concentrating more? I felt strangely at peace, even though up there in my head it was still kind of messed up. But oh well. It was better than nothing.
