Of being random

I am going to be random. But when Siaw Hui gets random, she doesn't blog like Van mind you, going: the poor dog had none or explode goes the weasel! Lol. No offence.

Anyway, first off... eh, let me think of smth to blog about.

*split second later*

HAH!

Here goes a really short list of:
THINGS YOU DO WHEN YOU"RE SUPPOSED TO BE STUDYING SEJARAH (from top to bottom in order of how many times I do it lol)
1) Glance at the watch/clock every 5 minutes so you won't be able to miss your next break time ;)
2) Flip through to the end of the Sej chap and count how many more pages you have left EVERY time you finish a page.
3) Leave the room after every half hour or hour to play the same songs over and over again on the piano that you DO NOT touch unless Sej comes around.
4) Go to the bathroom to ease my bladder. Sorry la, bladder full bah.
5) Go to the bathroom to dampen hair so that it doesn't fall on face.
6) Go to the bathroom to splash water on drowsy face.
7) Check handphone frequently for incoming smses or miss calls so that there is a reason to go bother oth ppl since you're dying of boredom.
8) Glare at your Sej book and wish that a certain religion needn't have become the national religion. (Sorry if that offended anyone but seriously, the stuff we learn is too deep!!)
9) Glare at your Sej book and wish your country's history wasn't a nightmare (but then again our country is STILL a nightmare!)
10) Glare at your Sej book and wish that the day when you can finally burn it will come.

Hmm... what else? Oh, today was Merdeka Celebration Assembly. I was with the stage crew. The crew is made up of two girls and four boys bleh! Me and Van, only girls. Noel, Sat, Kok and Aidan boys. :P So anyway, Kok, Aidan and Sat were in charge of the left hand side of the stage (from audience's pov) and Noel,Van and me in charge of oth side. However, in the end, Sat abandoned Kok and Aidan and joined our sides coz we rock! No la... it's coz Sat had to adjust the microphone level (since the rest of us gundus didn't know how to) and the adjustment had to be done on my side of the stage. Kok took care of the oth side of stage. Me take care of mine. Muahaha...

Our original plan:
1.30 - Get ready stage.
1.50 - When presentation starts, stay back stage and study Sej quietly with occasional appearances on stage to adjust mikes and carry equipment.

The real thing:
1.30 - Yelling begins. Ppl suddenly ask us to do things from all sides. Kok, me, Aidan, Noel, Sat, Van all confused until even have to being writing stuff down!
From that time onwards - Adjust mikes. Adjust volume. Pull in mikes. Close curtains. Make sure everything works. Pull tables. Pull benches. Pull chairs. Listen to people make demands. Pull in stand. Pull in pulpit. Make piano work. Pull in drums. Pull in keyboard. Connect cables. Screw up mics and their stands.

Needless to say, ALL our sej books lay in a heap, unstudied.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY LOVELY LET"S ALL KEEP QUIET AND STUDY PLAN?!

Oh well... it was quite fun. What with Sat screaming himself hoarse from back stage. Van being utterly blur. Noel tried dancing back stage (tried to steal away and grab Kok's cam to take photo but unfortunately, KOK DISAPPEARED bugger the boy... and squirrel suspected smth dang...) You should have seen him dancing. And then when Van joined him it was like omg, priceless. It was a Malay joget btw... or whatever resembled it.

And then... and then... Aidan smashed into the drum sets at the beginning of the show and everyone was like SHHHHH!!! And he was like: (raise eyebrows) WHAT THE HELL?!

And then I broke the drum chair. But I fixed it back... haphazardly. Thank God the drummer guy didn't fall... ehehe.

Kok and Aidan were halfway tiptoeing to the stage thinking one of the presentations hadn't started when suddenly KERANAMU blared from the speakers and had them jumping backwards behind the curtains.

We thought the curtains couldn't work and cursed everything we saw when all the while the bloody curtain mechanism wasn't plugged in. Oh gawd. We only realized that halfway through the show...

Noel and I were talking and then some performer yelled: SHUDDUP! and then she turned around and saw the both of us gaping so she went... Sorry sorry...

Ohhhh and we saw Felicia Siaw lookalike. When she walked past me and Van we were like: silent for a while. And then suddenly at the same time, me and Van: (turn to each other) OH MY GAWD CHEM TEACHER! Lol! She looks even more like the Chem teacher than Ying! Her nose... her complexion... EVERYTHING! Gawd...

I almost tripped over a mic's wire. Fortunately no one saw that. I was backing away... lol!

And yeah, that's about it... Oh wait, there's a memorable quote...

Kok: Eh, that Eric Clapman's son jump off the cliff thinking he was Superman.
Noel and Aidan: Oh my gawd.
Silence then...
Khang: Oh my gawd, did he die?!
VERY long silence then...
Kok: (sarcastically) No he DIDN"T. Geez...

Khang Khang...
