i love my section!
i'm really starting to miss stand by me, i like to move it, techno up and on..
and amazing grace. we won't be able to retro drumbeat as much anymore, cos lct will just flip our skins inside out and barbeque us over her chimney if she ever hears of what we did to her school song.
"i fully understand performer's ego, you see i was once a dancer."
let's not go there.
anyway..!
perth rocked. the weather that greeted us was such a contrast to singapore's warm and humid atmosphere. it was like.. air con pumping cool air from miles and miles of green pastures. damn nice la.. but then as night drew near it got colder..
and colder.
and in albany it got freaking cold. as in finger numbing cold, even with my dua-kee gloves.
but huddling together at night during section sleepovers just took all the cold away. haha.
i've gotten to know sides of people i never knew existed.
like nicky's crazy uncle personality that surfaced during the sleepovers.
poon shi's philosophical dad like behaviour towards glosz's son. ("there must be a reason why you want this. nono, you don't just want it because you do. now sit down, think rationally and tell me why you want it..") in the end he just got chased around fremantle's park by a very flustered boy.
oh and i made a new friend! his name is emo nemo. HAHA. him and his ultraman and jackie chan moves. during the trip we functioned together though, in a very comical way.
our first performance was quite a flop, but we learnt from it and got better subsequently. our last performance at the bandstand was nice. there were ducks swimming in front of us when we played animation. astonishing right, i never fanthomed ducks could dance to music.
talk about quack dancers.
anway, my roomies were all quite crazy. rachel, nicole and pam. the siao trio.
i remember how long we took to fall asleep the first night. somebody la, couldn't stop talking...
and how somebody switched the warmer to air con mode halfway through the night. that genius. wink.
and how we all woke up freezing the next morning. lol.
the rest of the nights i died out quite early. early in the morning ya, but still early to most people. eg the crazy sajc band owls. ie almost everyone in band but pamela.
karma's log cabins were really cool. maybe too cool for comfort, but the quaint fireplace.. and the really soft winter beds, and the cooking competition just made up for all that lack of heat.
there was even a jacuzzi that brandon and poonshi got comfortable in (with layers of clothes on.)
hmm. many memorable moments la, this trip. it wouldn't be so special if i listed it all out.
let me just shout out a few words of thanks to some people..
like emmeline! for taking care of me when i fell sick.
and poon shi, for trying to make me take panadol flu tablets to which i refused because my doctor would have just freaked out if i told me about the countless array of medicine i sampled during the trip
and rachel and debra and rebecca for the reflective talks that made me think so much more about the underlying frictions in our band.
and nicole, for being such a caring bus partner and for our singing sessions with mychelle when all else were sleeping.
and rachel and nicole. for being such cool roomies. "honeys i'm home!(:"
and lynette for letting me sleep on her lap on our flight there until her leg cramped up. and for feeding me mentos to keep our ears from popping.
colin for listening to me talk during the first trip to the supermarket.
everybody for being so retarded.
my section for being exceptionally retarded.
and anyone else that have made pam happy in one way or another, you rock.
cant wait till our next reunion. (:
and they ask us why band rocks. lol.
5:46 PM
reach for
the stars(:
