Mediocre National day celebration in school... AND THEN SOME

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO...
7th Aug- TWYLA LAI AND VANNESS WU
8th Aug- CLARENCE AND SHARON NEO

Yestrday started off in quite a crazy way... much better than last yr if i must admit.

0815- Morning assembly. It purposely started a little later to help the latecomers gather at the courtyard and avoid getting marked '0'. Then again... there's always the latecomers.

0830- Gather at the school hall. Lucky it's not at the auditorium cos the AV system there is TERRIBLE. The first item was a multi-racial dance involving 2 Chinese beauties, 2 Malay dancersand 1 Indian dancer. Lots of props used.

0915- Next item was a hip-hop item... this one was the worst hip-hop act I've ever seen. Almost all the 4 dancers seem rather half-hearted during the 5 min-plus item, as in they did not seem to put enough effort in their dance at all... and they actually walked off the stage before the music even came to a proper end! BIG THUMBS DOWN... I wont be surprised if they tried to take part in The Dance Floor.

0930- Kimberly gets up on stage to sing two songs, Whitney Houston's "I'm Saving All My Love For You" and Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This". Both songs were much better than last yr's sound system boo-boo... tho I couldnt help but feel that Kim seemed to be screaming thru the last few mins of the first song. Other than that, great job. :-)

0950- The Capoeira Dance. While 3 members play the various instruments, the other 4 members show an amazing display of capoeira kicks and turns. It wasnt as boring as I thot it to be... even if some of the members had lack of sleep. An idea for my upocming Character Design assignment perhaps?

1010- mini-play by 4 members of Music and Drama Company. Something to do wif a Singaporean girl named Eileen who has to work with a Chinese local and an Indian local on some project... while the 2 foreign students speak wif accents, Eileen speaks in Singlish, and obviously the 2 gals cant understand what she is saying. Super funny :-p

1030- Rock concert by some 'gay' band known as "Second Man Gang". Three of the members were dressed like women!! The music was too loud and the lead vocalist took off his dress after the first item. If Venom were present at that time, he sure will lose his powers upon being exposed to this deafening music... of all items, why end off the celebration wif a 40 min long rock performance again?!? It just kills the mood of celebrating National Day... luckily, most of the students headed for the canteen after the first item...

1100-1200- Slack time in the canteen. I was rather pissed (and unsurprised) to see a certain 'refugee' finally make his return after nearly 3 weeks of AWOL. Now I see his true colors... he had no wish to continue studying anymore, and his attitude was really TERRIBLE!! And from what I noticed, he was heading straight to the teachers' staffroom to sign an attrition form...

1200- 1500- Lessons as usual!!! Argghhhh... and we all thot things would be better if it were half-day instead! Lucky it was only Project Managemnt, so lots of Internet time, hehe. And my knee is still hurting like mad... (groan)

Readers, u may cringe at the ending remark here, but my dissent towards that ignorant Mr D remains intact, and that's a fact. With that, I got TWO WORDS... no wait, make that FOUR WORDS, for former student Danial... YOU REALLY SUCK BIGTIME
