title: Cadenza XI :)
This is one of the rare detailed posts you'll see because I do
not like people who don't know me well knowing every single thing about my life. (Plus they read your blog and don't tag!)
For remembrance:
I reached school at 7 :D (fine, a few minutes later) and I found that Alicia was helping people french-braid their hair! Haha I have to thank Alicia for braiding my hair around 3 times (!) and battling dizziness on the bus just to do it again ;) Xinyi brought Gatsby hair gel ._.
Presents were very interesting: Zhenyi gave everyone a potato because "Potatoes have eyes so you must watch Mr Oura..." Hahaha. And Jolyn's cute little finger puppets (I know they're from Ikea my dear - WHO gave you the idea?) And Yujia's pretty book cover collage that she made herself.
Anyway SCH doesn't look like it can hold 880 people. Rehearsal went quite well (I think better than the concert itself please). Lunch was quite, uh, nice. Well actually everything is nice when you're ravenous, right.
All too soon it was time to line up backstage and we were all just dying of nervousness, like waiting for the bells to ring and everything, doing entirely weird things to stave off our goosebumps. We went out and the hall was quite empty (you know how Singaporeans are normally late for everything and they all start streaming in after your first song). But Chloe said only 73 tickets were left unsold muahaha >:) My family said they were waving wildly at me and I "pretended not to see" haha.
The whole thing didn't really feel like a concert; I mean the nervousness wore off after a while. When it was time to go out after intermission there was no inkling of nervousness at all. :) or :(?
Yes haha and then when we went down to meet everyone people started cheering and at the top of the staircase Jolyn told me, "I feel like we're being mobbed." I was thinking, Haha, enjoy the celebrity feeling, man. Picture(s) of flowers, uh, soon :)
Thanks everyone for coming to watch us (or ME :D).
