Of Rehearsals and Nice Warm Cookies
Saturday morning.I woke up to the sounds of my radio clock.Sometimes,i just feel like smash the god damn thing and continue sleeping.But then again,i really didnt want to let the guitar club people down.I love them a lot.They remind me of my SRJC class.Somewhat.Perhaps a little less wild,less crazy,more hardworking.However,similarities includes the usual people outside the social circle.Back in SR we had the F4.We havent came up with names for this new group of girls yet.S.H.E perhaps?Haha.Come to think about it,three of them are always together.Cant play guitars to save their lives.Thats for sure.Anyway,so i got prepared and went for the full dress rehearsal.Took the shirt that i borrowed from Kevin and changed in the music room.Nobody was there so,i didnt care much about it.Most of them got to the room,already dressed up and ready.Soon enough,we were carrying out guitars and music stands down to LT4 to prepare for the rehearsal.Dance Society was there.Choir,GuZheng and Harmonica Orchestra.We went up and practised with the lights and stuff.Didnt play well but,we never expected to anyway.Ahmad and I fooled around while waiting for the other groups to set up and finish.We played a lot with his digital camera,taking photos and stuff while the others toiled away outside,trying desperately to memorise the songs.Not that we were slacking,but some of the people who were outside are really weak.Including the girls i mentioned.Anyway,the doors of the LT kept locking itself up.Bloody school with screwed up doors.Ahmad and I had to talk by pressing our handphones to the glass,so as to communicate with each other through typed messages.We practised the entry and exit of the club,as well as the lighting.Got a little roughed up backstage but things turned out fine.While rehearsing for the finale,the guys of the club were standing together,fooling around.Doing human waves,singing on the wrong note on purpose,bobbing up and down,basically having a good time on stage.Everyone else was pretty serious,only we were jumping around,racing each other up the stairs everytime we have to start the finale all over.Haha.I guess we were just tired and high.You know how boredom can get to you sometimes.Nothing much about the rehearsals really.The other clubs did really well,though the Dance Society's performance in particular did not wow me as much as ive expected.Didnt exactly expect them to do a Backstreet Boy spoof.(You'll get what i mean.)It didnt turn out well,since they were not syncronized properly.I love the outfit the guitar club chose.White top with black pants.That totally made us stand out from the crowd,despite the presence of the bright orange ties the dancing girls had on.We were the most unproperly dressed,which made us stand out even more.(On purpose of course.Folded sleeves,crumbled shirt,tucked out.)After that,Kevin,Ahmad,Chong Guan,Russell and I went to McDonalds to grab some food.It was burning hot,and the three of us had black long pants.You can imagine how much heat we attracted.So we took the path under the HDB flat towards the McDonalds.Along the way,Ahmad took out his digital camera yet again and took photo of the rest of us walking.We did not notice that he was taking the photo,so we just kept walking.The picture turned out to be totally boyband-ish.We were in the same wardrobe,and four of us were there walking down this long corridor.Looked exactly like something out of a Westlife album.Haha.It was hilarious.Russell pointed a middle finger at the camera as well.Haha.By the time we reached McDonalds we were pouring.Of sweat.I ordered an icecream and started licking it furiously.We headed back to school,and got ready for the practise after that.Tomas came,and he was in his everyday kinda wardrobe.He looked weird,but i guess i was just not used to it.A lot of people skipped,and the practise was forced to end early,due to the JC1 parent's day. I got home,tired and exhausted.At 6pm,everything was a blur.Mom was not at home,neither was my sister.So i turned on the fan,the air con,and the hi fi.Thinking that those might just blast the hot air off my body.I sat on my sofa,half fried.

Krishna called.And we talked.Its been awhile since we talked,and we talked about life again.How pissed off i was about DnD,old friends and new.As i talked to him,Rs came online.However,instead of saying hi to her or anything,i just continued talking on the phone.Hoping that perhaps by talking a little longer she might log off,and i wont be able to trouble myself as to whether i should say hi or not.We hung up,and i started minding my own business,totally disregarding her exitence.Suddenly,a window popped up.It was from her.I was pretty amazed and shocked for ten seconds or so.I clicked on the window,and she said,"Hello.".I was already smiling from ear to ear when i replied.I will not go into details of course.But this time,we had a great chat.She talked a lot today.In fact,both of us had a great time.At least i did.We talked about school,but a more interesting level of course.Heard that the drink stall auntie changed to an old grumpy lady.Talked about how her Biology teacher looked down on her.How my maths teacher looks down on me.How her maths teacher likes to look at guys.How bad her taste is when it comes to Korean guys.Basically,we talked as if we were friends again.As if whatever i typed in the entry yesterday never existed.Again,time stopped.I was hoping that the conversation would go on like this.Forever.She laughed,and i smiled.She talked,and i replied.And like this,we went on for a hour or so.I know to most,this might not mean much.Afterall,its only just another conversation with someone you like.I dont know.It meant a lot to me.In a way,its a moral support.Haha.I dont know in what ways,but somewhere deep inside i can see a small glimmering speck of hope.Thanks for giving me that slight speck of light.:)It feels good to talk like this again.It really does.Its like that feeling when you eat your favourite cookie from your grandma.That warm feeling of hot crunchy cookie.That feeling feeling up my heart,with that little conversation we had.Bringing back the old memories.Wow.
