was supposed to be blogging about this yesterday but i reached home too late and dad doesnt allow me to stay up.. tried staying up on bed to wait until he sleep then wake up quietly to blog, but obviously i failed and really slept. want to blog in the morning but went out with family to eat then dad went out with his keys leaving the rest of ur without keys so locked out of the house for a whole of five hours! ah... such a waste of time.. such a period of torture for me!!! i was so anxious to get back to my flowers and gifts from yesterday la!!! anyway, back to yesterday.. (p.s. a super duper long entry coming up!!! and also it may just be the last entry since i moving to hostel soon.. so do pardon my diarrhoea of words!)firstly, a brief description of what went on yesterday. on the bus, i received a sms from him saying that he will be coming to watch!!! i was so happy i was like smiling for the whole of my journey to school, heez. then was supposed to reach school at 2pm to practise somemore with choonsiang but in the end i was late by half an hr in order to help wanxin buy black nail polish and myself to get batteries for my camera. got this nice lady at coro ntuc who let me go first before her as i only buy one thing and she has a whole trolley, singaporeans are still nice in general de! =) ok, coming back, in the end reach school go locker get all my stuff then no time to practise much before going up to lt3 at 3pm. turn out that it was locked so we waited outside patiently, after a while i saw uncle chong so once again, i forced myself to be thick-skinned and approached uncle chong to ask him to open lt3 for us(justin, you'd better not laugh after reading this! if not i going to hit you hoh!) after which, we went in and have a mini run-through, it was rather successful except that i forgot my lyrics half-way! diaognz.. stupid brain of mine.. ok, then we practised and listened to cher's and jamie's comments on how to improve. personally, i liked all the 6 songs that went in geyao finals!!! all very nice oh! next, went up lep room to get prepared for the competition liaoz, have to change and get made-up. haha, sorry i made a lot of noise when i was being drawn on cause i seriously hate to put stuff on my face lohz, heez. glad that in the end it turned out great on stage, haha. then went to eat dinner at canteen before going in audi to be prepared for the actual competition le. throat hasnt been feeling well so i kept gulping down water so have to go refill water and go toilet often, haha. not long after, the whole thing officially starts! started with yinfei's grp den chailing. got a short guest performance by jias and jinjing after which it was zhiwei's turn le. the whole thing just went on very quickly, not soon after, it is my turn to get on stage. haha, one thing to say, the backstage of audi very cold!!! my legs were shaking and my hands were freezing when i went out la! my heart was beating so fast and i was feeling very nervous. received a lot of well-wishes at backstage which boosted my confidence quite a bit, haha. then when on stage, haha, thanks to my class people, many people shall know me as ladybird from yesterday onwards liaoz. haha, but their shouts really settled my heart quite a bit and i even managed to smile a bit, haha, thanks 04S73!!! choonsiang also la, become small box(xiao he zi) liaoz, hahaha, so funny! then when we were ready, i start to sing, initially feeling really nervous but towards the middle, i started to enjoy myself a bit, heez. and i smiled whenever i think of him being somewhere in the audience, haha. haiz, no matter what i do, theres bound to be something that causes regret in me. i mixed up my lyrics and sang offtune during the high pitch part.. very bad but haha, most people didn't notice so still ok ba, heez. =P after we performed, it is the start of the interval, i went back to the audi and was truly overwhelmed! all the flowers, all my friends, all the praises, all the encouragements, all the assurances, all the gifts, all the hugs, all the surprises, haha, it was just, oh my god la. haha, i was really touched!!! then i managed to find my 2 kors who especially came down to support me!!! haha, i really regret not being able to chat with u all longer or taking pictures with u all!!! such a pity!!! seriously, i felt so much like a star yesterday la, it was really a rare opportunity! people saying i look great/good/pretty, people saying i sang well/great.. haha, felt like i was in heaven la, haha. after interval, there was ame then wanxin&pork. after which got mu chuan singers! they were real cool and great! i really enjoy singing my hearts out with them! so much fun! then the prize presentation part, best lyrics written: fengyi&ame; best tune composed: wanxin&pork; most popular: wanxin&pork again; overall best: yinfei's grp. congrats to all who won!!! to say that i dont feel disappointed is really blatantly telling a lie, cause i was given false hopes by many people so got high expectations lohz. but, thinking back, i'm just real happy and satisfied that i got to perform at geyao!!! so now, i'm only feeling great and thankful, partly also because he was there, heez. after the whole thing, was again overwhelmed by another group of people, my anderson juniors!!! haha, really very touched and happy that at least there were a few of them who came down! they can represent all the other juniors for all i care! hahaha, yea~ then took 04S73 class photo with a lot of weird and funny poses, haha, typical 73 behavior ba, wahahaha, then went out to talk with all whom i know who came to the competition, haha, it was just pure bliss and enjoyment. it just feels great to catch up with people who you no longer get to see often in school or in life. haha then wait for the geyao people to debrief finish then we all went to kap to sit a while before leaving for home, which is quite late at that time already. really hate heels as they torture my feet! so i took off the heels and walked barefoot to the bus-stop opp kap to wait for bus. took 74 with many others and then alight at ang mo kio with david, then we took a taxi as we figured we had missed the last bus liaoz. lucky for me, the taxi overtook a 851 which i took and managed to reach home quite successfully. when i was on my way home.. passed by 2 groups of males and i feel so cheap.. one group was like there is this guy who suddenly sang some crude songs when i walked past.. then the other group was like looking back at me when i passed by with disgusting lecherous looks.. argh.. shall not dress up again in the future liaoz.. erk.. my phone shut off due to empty battery and upon reaching home, rush into a frenzy of replying sms after clearing up, haha, after which fell asleep liaoz. up next, my thank you list!(hope i dont miss anyone out!) they are: - cher(for all ur comments&effort put in)&guangfeng

really hope i didn't leave out anyone.. without you all, yesterday night would not have been the greatest experience ever in my lifetime!!! it was the best time i've had! i'm at a lost to describe how big&deep an impact it has left on me, geyao 2005 was a sucess in my eyes!!!
finally, to all the juniors(please look here!): some of you may feel that this year's geyao was a screwup. but just let me say some facts, the turnout of the audience was better than last years geyao despite the cost of the tix, was better than arts fest, was better than many school performances and could even be compared to body language le! also, what was the main objective of geyao? it is to present all the contestants' songs sucessfully and to let the audience enjoy themselves and get their worth of the $5 tix, both of which had been accomplished already! nobody and nothing can be perfect,mistakes are inevitable simply because we are human not deity!!! no matter how things go, regardless whether smoothly or badly, there'll always be room for improvement de! so long as you all have given in your best, put in the effort to making it as sucessful as possible, it is enough. like what i've said before in one of my previous entry, as long as you all can answer to yourself, the stress, pressure&criticisms seniors give just take it and then leave it ya? what i say may seem too one-sided and not convincing, but i have confidence in the way you all handle and do things. with you all in charge, i am well assured. doubt this means anything to you all as i'm not in exco previously or hold any high posts whatsoever so whatever i have said earlier, to take it or not is up to you all. BUT, do not let anything bring any of you down, continue to give in your best for chi soc oh!
