had music fest audition which seriously sucked. met up with jasmine at around 1.30pm to practise our song for the first time in v25. it went well and we had confidence we should be able to make it. only to be foiled by the SCs and PA crew.

the venue was suddenly changed to the LT AVA which was much older and lousier than the PT.
as many teams were late, the SCs told us to be the first duet to go up. so we did. and i saw only one mike. so i asked the PA crew if they had another mike, and they said no. den i said den how to sing duet? they said sing with one mike lor... WHAT THE HELL

so we reluctantly sang with one mike which meant we couldn't move around with ease as we had to stand beside each other and hold the damn mike together. and guess what? they cut us off at the first chorus. in fact, they cut almost everyone off after the first chorus. don't they know that some songs have their peaks and highlights at the back of the song? i pity gladys, she couldn't even reach her chorus before she was cut off as her song was very long. how to perform liddat? den the SCs will say no time... if they wanna organise something, den make sure they can accomodate whatever they are supposed to provide. if they have no time, increase the number of audition dates. that's their own problem if they wanna organise. and they didn't even release how the format of the competition is like (no. of rounds, judging criteria,etc)... how well planned...

after we finished singing, another duet which went up to sing duet with no mike and no music. i just realised how comical we might have looked up there just before and i felt disgusted with the PA crew again. although people always say without them, school events cannot function and stuff... but they just always seem to screw up many things. that cannot be forgotten. think of CNY, musicfest auditions, various morning assembly, etc... and after that pair finished, they manage to fix the mike again. so now we have two mikes while the first pair, which was us, actually only sang with one mike. so i went to request from miss rajan that we re-perform for them. or rather, i insisted.

the 2nd time was much better according to many people, but i felt it sounded a bit weird. guess maybe it was my fault as i was stil a bit irritated with the whole arrangement.

well, now that it's over, just have to cross my fingers and hope we'll get thru. and hopefully my solo one too. and thanks jasmine, you make a good singing partner!

went off to katong for interhouse bowling after that. had a really bad day. couldn't find my 10 pound ball so i played with an 8 pound ball for the first 2 games. got 96 and 110 respectively, obviously below average. halfway throught the really bad third game, i manage to get a 10 pound ball from the lane beside and immediately got 2 strikes. ended the game with a score of 100. average for three games was 102... really disappointed...

this year's yearbook look really nice, except its weird dimensions such that it almost can't be kept into my bag. and 05S27 picture is damn ugly... but it looks really cool. like the class photos and teachers photos, very unlike those at dunman high. i'm loving it.

had the year ones SC nominees speech in the morning. seriously the three of them sucked. think i might just vote against all three. joyce realised the reason why draco had only 3 nominees was
because many people were waiting to join house comm. and i think it's true. the 12 forms that we prepared to give out after the speeches were gone immediately. the other houses didn't even manage to give out all. this starts to get me worried because whatever the case, house comm can only allow 4 people in. which mean disappointment for many people... sigh... see how it goes...
