hello!
got back from band pract not long ago. rawrr. 2nd time keith told me on the day itself. even better this time round. call me after pract was supposed to have started. and i was in such a hurry i wore my shirt the wrong way round and i didnt realise until i reached there. ahh. so embarrassing. no wonder people were looking at me weirdly on the mrt. eek. but keith is funny. and a good leader.
and i still havnt gotten over my amusement. ziying is amusing! lol!
background: the kids are rehearsing their performance for tmr. brandon and i are sitting around after pract. and we're wearing last year's camp shirt- rubberbend 2005. rawr the camp theme we came up with last year was cute! but meaningful. this year... it's deeper.
so here goes.
[brandon and i are talking when ziying walks up innocently.]
ziying: peiling jiejie, [points to brandon] is he your boyfriend?
[i give the WHAT?! look]
[ziying turns to brandon]
ziying: brandon korkor, [points to me] is she your girlfriend?
[brandon looks at me then stares at her]
[a few kids crowd round and go "yes right!"]
me: [laughs] why do you say so?
ziying: because. because that's what they say [points to the other kids] and and... [someone butts in and says: you always talk to each other] ya. and and today you are wearing the same tshirt!
[we burst out laughing]
brandon: no she's not my girlfriend. and im not her boyfriend. we are just very very good friends. okay?
me: and if you ask the other korkor and jiejie they have the same shirt too. because it's last years camp shirt!
kids: really meh? you lie!
[we sigh]
brandon: [laughing] okayokay i admit it. how did you kids find out? [ruffles their hair]
[stares at him weirdly then i catch his wink]
me: sigh. kids nowadays are getting smarter and smarter. shh dont tell anyone okay! [laughs]
[the kids nod vigourously. auntylily calls and they run off. we start laughing all over again and cannot get over our amusement.]
oops. i think they really believe it. oh man. but i doubt they can keep a secret so sooner or later they will ask the rest and they will realise that we were just kidding. but i was just wondering: what do kids learn in primary school nowadays? asking these kinda weird questions when you're only in primary2? man, what's happening. do they learn these stuff from school? at such a young age? dont remember me asking things like that. platonic relationships do exist in this great big world you know. haiyoh.
can you tell i am a little happier today?

yesterday. the feeling was pretty bad.
good friday performance. lol. batch08! combined the 2 groups together last minute. and i thought it was good for a really impromptu performance. hoho. still cant believe the weird script that jan and i came up with was actually used. it was some crap that we came up with to occupy time and we expected it to be discarded immediately. but lol.
gangsters. twinnie! rawr i think we're telepathic. hehh. what she's been saying on her blog reflects my thoughts. was screaming during the performance. and was reminded of rubberbend. when i was acting commandant for the 2nd and 3rd day [ie the torturous days] and was very strict and everything because we wanted them to learn how to take it. still remember me hollering.
"what did i tell you? tell me, what did i say! what is this? shut up. i dont care what excuses you have. drop 30. now."
"why are you laughing? they're doing this because of you. all of you drop 20 now. leaders extra 20."
"dont stare at me. dont give me that expression. you want to see who's tougher? the bunch of you there, tomorrow you report to me at 530 in the morning in the lobby and you run around the place"
"if you cant take it if you are going to break. you can pack your bags now and go home and cry into your pillow. complain to your parents for all i care. this is just the beginning."
and a lot others.
hahahs. they bring back such fond memories. wanted to put the above in caps but realised it's quite irritating to read.
it was so cool. seeing people afraid of me for once. hoho since i did what i said.
and apparently even the camp comm didnt know whether i was really pissed. do i rock or do i rock.
heh. fun fun fun. if i have a chance i will scream again. hoho.
enough sidetracking.
shant say much. but it was very frustrating.
the inability to connect is horrible.
running- another way to help me forget stuff temporarily
but that's my last resort.
since running is just plain torturous. stupid stamina.
but rawr. my mind is no longer constantly in a turmoil.
im calmer now. (:
beach tomorrow.
i think i shall go early in the morning.
hopefully i can watch the sun rise.
serenity.
and later i shall go to church.
Good Friday.
im so glad my group isnt meeting up for english pt- though i think we are pretty behind them. every other group seems to be meeting up in the afternoon.
so at least i can spend more time with God. (:
Good Friday...
