6:46 pm
last night, my father came back from a business trip in malaysia, with a bunch of cheap dvds that he bought there.
my sister and i watched ice age 2: the meltdown, and just a few hours ago, my family watched alien vs predator.
some parts of AVP looked kinda funny to me though, and i ended up laughing at it.
my father said that the last predator was sort of acting cool and i guess i agree with him.
just two days ago, i went to meridian jc's choir concert at victoria concert hall, because i have friends performing (rachel jie, justin, a few others and some juniors that i had no idea were in mjc) so i went to support them.
met up with mb (rachel's kor, which indirectly makes me his mei, but neither of us asked so it didn't change from indirect to direct kor-mei), had dinner at thai express at city link (i ate vegatables voluntarily! ok, because it's spicy, but it's still veg! my mother will be so proud of me) before walking to vch.
saw m-chong and two other tkchoir juniors at the entrance. chong's sandals were from the same shop that ky bought hers from, only that ky's had mushroom patterns and chong's was the tiny flowers patterns.
there was this feeling of familarity when i saw chong, like "oh it's chong! aww.. she still had all the piercings that were the same as when we were in the same class back in sec3 and sec4."
ok, it's a weird way to put it but.. haha..
we then went upstairs to get our reserved tickets that rachel paid for us first.
they were in an envelope that was numbered 22 and mb kept going on about his other lucky numbers and said that the last no.22 had him fail a test.
haha.. how lucky.
and soon, the concert started.
one of my close friends back in secondary school (in the same choir too) was one of the mcs and mb asked if i still melt when i see that friend (because he was a crush i had back in my secondary school days. those who know me enough will know who i'm talking about. no names, ok?).
hmm.. more like a nolstalgic feeling like "oh, it's him.. yeah, those were the days.." that sort of thing.
so amongst the choral songs (some of it we had sung before back in tkchoir), the constant pop-concert-cheers and intolerable whoops despite it being a choral concert, and the faint soapy scent coming from some guy in red shirt on my right, i sat in the moderate-sized concert hall, listening to the choir sing and remember at the back of my mind that some years ago, i used to be the one standing there on the stage with the rest of tkchoir and mr kwei conducting at the front, enjoying ourselves while performing for the audience.
wow, what a long sentence.
haha..
rachel's solo role at the last part where they performed an adapted version of sunset boulevard scared me. in a good way, duh.
somehow all of us in the audience were kind of torned between thinking that it's a comedy or a sad story because it seemed that the whole lot of us were quite sadistic and kept laughing at the sad parts (according to rachel).
we had planned to grab a cab when the concert ended but there wasn't one that was available so we almost got lost, walking here and there, trying to find a bus stop that has a bus that goes to my house.
finally we found one that has 16 and ended our hunt for bus stops.
earlier this week i went to orchard alone (quite a feat for me, considering that i get lost easily there) to look for koike teppei's photobook: "first letter from teppei".
walked through the underpass to takashimaya and went up to kinokuniya to begin my search for the book.
turned out that it was out of stock and i had to order it.
even the staff said that teppei's cute! haha..
took the escalator down and that was when i got lost.
somehow i walked into the underpass that connects takashimaya and wisma atria. found my way out and walked to heeren's to "pay a visit" to the japanese idol merchandise store called "mise" that was behind 77th street.
i bought myself a handphone chain that has teppei's picture on it and a screen wipe that has his name with a outline of a guitar handle at the top.
my friends kept saying that i've gone crazy, but oh well ^_^
i like teppei, so sue me!
