A Splendid Affair
As promised. This is going to be long.
50 years has passed since the birth of Queenstown Secondary School. Yesterday, we celebreted half a century of schoolhood.
Early morning and I fell asleep on the bus on my way to school. I ended up in Queensway, and was pissed at myself for that. Late nights are taking they're toll on me. I've been staying up until 1 in the morning these days revising, and I guess that's why I've been so tired and sickly the past few days. I'll sleep earlier, but only for the time being. Mocks are mocking me. Anyways, my day started off pretty badly, but the rest of the day was :) with some of this x), and a hint of this -.-", and not forgetting this @_- (<--pirate ahoy lol)
The classes afterwards went by very quickly. The physics practical was fun; another light one on refraction. I prefer reflection, for selfish reasons. The Mother-tongue, and the English lesson came. Few did the homework; I only knew about it on Friday, so can't be helped on my part. I kept sneaking peeks onto my script for later in the night. I'll elaborate on this much later on.
Recess was a chaos. Trouble was a brewing, but hopefully, matters shall be settled quickly. And contrary to popular belief, Raied DID not apologise, and will never will, because he rarely does.
As the O-levels draw closer, I expected the behaviour of the people in my class to mellow, but we only become higher. People were having paper sword fights, jumping on tables, and throwing stuff into the air. What fun! The following classes, of ACE (which was actually a simple Chemistry test) and Geography too blew by. Ms Chua wasn't around, so I chatted with Choo Jia Han, as the rest of the guys exchanged stories about physical confrontation, which I've never played a part in, and apparently, so did Choo. Kept holding the hands of JoPu's keychain, but it sucks as a substitute xD.
I rushed to Bugis for awhile to get some last minute accesorizing. Went to debunk the rumour that 77th Street is just for Bengs by buying a bracelet, and a tribal necklace over there. Got myself a fab belt too, but that was an impulse buy which I regret. I finally exchanged some of the pounds and dollars that my aunties have sent me my last birthday, and I'm rich! Kekeke. Bugis is always full of good stuff. I encourage people to visit there; just as long as nobody touches the Hillcrop and Cinema shirts on the 2nd floor. Take note though; the cinemas suck. You're better off going to the nearby Cathay or PlazaSing, or even Suntec. 77th Street: Not just for Bengs.
For normal students, the time to reach Neptune was at 7:15, but I'm far from normal (good or bad, you decide O.o). I had duty see; to escort the VVIP (Very Very Important Person), and show him around the 6 panels (the ones outside the dining hall) and basically, walk with him through the illistrous past of Queenstown.
I got home at around 2, when I had to be at school at 3. Did a rush shower, packed all my stuff in a Raffles Hotel bag which I thought could handle the weight but didn't, did my hair (Thanks Loreal for the was, and thanks Gatsby for the spray, and thanks Swiss Army for the scent, thanks Gilette for the roll-on and shaving gel which I know how to use right now, and thanks Dior for the whitening face wash), realised how much weight I'd lost, and then got a cab to school. Still, I was late, but Mr Lim (Bone marrow hero whoo!) was forgiving.
Yay for these:
Where's my stomach?
Reached school, rehearsed my script for abit. Mr Lim gave me cue cards, which I didnt' use in the end xD. I was ok, pretty much, we hung around in school and then cabbed to Neptune. We passed Uranus enroute to Neptune. The place was hard to find, and when we did, I was disappointed. The place was not as grand as I imagined it to be. The toilets were old (thougth the motion sensoring tissue dispenser was cool), and the view of the ECP (at least I think it is) was good, but could have been better had the casiNO not been there. On top of that, our table (no. 75) was the worst possible, in the corner, and our view was blocked by a pillar. I won't complain much though, since I was never there much xD.
From 3 something until 7 something, I just screwed around over there. I spent time practicing my lines, and did a few mock runs with Ms Han and Mr Lim. I screwed them up badly, and lost my confidence though. Took deep breaths, a long break, and then did another one with Mr Lee (Outrageous!), which he said was "wonderful", but I couldn't help but feel that he just said it to maintain my confidence level. Disaster struck when I put my Raffles bag on my table, and then found it gone. Turned out that it was lumped together with the rest of the performing group's stuff. Thanks to Bryan Chiang for helping me reacquire it! They put on make-up on me, and the make-up artist said she used the darkest shade she could find. Darn her.
This was on one of the panels. I'm not sure whether it was on purpose or not; but what does one do with latex?
Finally, the students started pouring it. My oh my, they looked amazing. As for me, I was wearing the Prefect's Uniform, with blazer and all. They looked good; special mentions go to: Glenn Lum (who was so under-rated), Alex (who looked like a business-man), the bunch of goths from sec 3 (visual kei, roku-roku-roku), HuiMin (and her "cape"!), WeiMing (his hair spiked! Phwoar dragon!), Shalina (Good on you tan!), Raied (Branded everything lah sial! Even underwear!), Jason (he looked hawt), Glenn Woo (she said I looked good), Glen Wireman (underrated again! colour combi was good!) and Delise (beautiful as always <3).>
Hair and make-up by me (wtf?), poser blazer (with fake-pockets, plus extra long sleeves which had to be folded up, but thank god theere was a pattern inside, so it looked like extension of my inside shirt instead) from Topman, flower-patterned long-sleeve white shirt from Topman, bootcut grey (not ghey) jeans from Topman, pink shades borrowed from Hawker, red cloth hanging out from my left sleeve as a statement, necklace from 77th street so that my neck won't look so bare, shoes from Bata, and photo taken by Delise. Ta-friggin'-da!
I practically strutted into the Dining Hall. Said my hi along the way to lotsa people. Everyone looked fab; how vintage. The event had already started, but no one was paying attention to the speaker! Awww...we were taking a hell lot of pictures and chit-chatting instead! I got a gajillion, but I've only gotten pictures from Delise, Andrian, HuiMin and Alex, so that's all I'm posting for today. Thanks to these people for being awesome camera men (and woman ;)).
Anyway, did anyone watch the concert? Wushu was awesome (Reynold you're the best; LKY All-round Excellence Award Yeah!), the band sounded rocking though it lacks the best flute-ist of the school, and the CHOIR WAS SO COORDINATED! I've never seen them like that before! All the performance group were great! But the sports performance was WTF? Thank god I left v.ball. They actually simulated warm-ups on stage wtf? Abit lame lah, the soccer, netball, badminton. And the basketball guys did push-ups on stage! O.o at that. Still, props to all those on stage; they probably found the routine as lame as I did -.-". Oh! And the NCC was the best by a long shot!
The food was good too. The first serving involved some fancy lights and sounds. We thought that the performance was starting, and as Table 75 (consisting me, Ringo, TahNern, Hawker, YanShan, Raied, Jeremy, Raynard, GlennLum, Andrian and Kelvin) had the worst view of the stage, we rushed up. Instead of the performance, it was the food actually, so we rushed down again -.-". Yummy yummy yummy, satisfy the rumble in my tummy.
Pictures galore!:
Me, Kelvin and Raied hopes for a bright future for the Drama Club.
When you gotta eat, you gotta eat:
Raynard gives his bedroom eyes; Raied and Hawker are mesmorised. Andrian gives his too, and I'm looking at his...are my eyes pointing at his crotch, or are the shades just plain gay O.o?
Me and Glenn Lum looks fab!:
Alex points at me and says; Pose leh.
So we did.
2D guys woofoo! Darren, Glen, Nigel, Raymond, TuanJiaw and JoPu! I miss you guys!
My pink shades compliments Darren's shirt.
Did anyone see Choo Jia Han's hair? I saw it, but my eyes got too close, and now they're black.
From this:
To this:
Best for last <3!>
Spent time wandering around, taking pictures, obviously. I took more than these few, but these are just some of the ones I received.I was at table no. 67, i think, periodically too :). If I knew you were going off straight after the dinner, I would have spent more time there :(.
On a whole, the dinner was an event too remember, best described in pictures too; If only I had a digital camera. Me, YanShan and Ringo played this stupid game; walk around and cehck how many people will take a picture with you. 4 to 5 to 4 was the end result I think. I'm confident I could have gotten more, but someone wasn't at their table, and the school song started blaring, so we rushed to sing-along, proudly I might add.
Oh, and buy the Memorial Book! I'm in it!
I headed home after that. Too bad she had to go home so early, but she made up for it :). I wanted to take a bus from esplanade, but my Raffles Hotel (5 star hurh?) bag broke on me. It was a fun night; but it ended abruptly, just like this post :\.
