.: ~funfair~syf~ :.

~sometimes everything may seem alright... "too alright" in fact... until the last minute, you realise things aren't "that alright" actually... still feeling bad now. had to settle some stuff regarding the rotaract club dinner. contacted those i was told to contact. thought everything was worked out fine already. until a few minutes before midnight of the day of the dinner, rotarian jo called to say he realised something was wrong. turned out there was a misunderstanding. i had thought that 2 pple had separately contacted the same group for the same purpose. so when jo said she knew about it already, i thought that meant it was alright already, since she had gotten the people down. but turns out that was a misunderstanding. the 2 pple were contacting the same group, yes... same function, yes... but same table, no... so it was not until a few min before midnight that rot jo alerted me to this. sigh. luckily, very luckily, jo managed to get people down... sigh...
~grrr... thought my throat was getting better, in fact it was, but yesterday's funfair aggravated it. the funfair was so noisy i had to shout all the way, even if i was just talking to the person standing right next to me. just now i had a sudden coughing fit. coughed until tears came out. better recover soon grrr...
~brought my siblings to ny funfair yesterday. got them some food as lunch first, before bundling them off in a taxi to school. then met up with fenella, who was the only one who bought tix from me... so i had 8 tix to spend, $10 each... for someone who doesn't really shop a lot, in fact i don't, unless i have something to get, that's certainly a LOT of money. brought fenella around getting food first. a hotdog bread from 208, watermelon juice from 307, coconut juice from 210...oops... forgot to get 315's milkshake... so that was, er, my lunch... foodhopping around my classes. then made a few more rounds, but of course, i still hadn't used up all the tix. it seemed almost impossible to use all up... walked around until 1 when fenella left for band, then i went back to join peifen lydia and their friend yeewei( i think). walked around, again. this is how i finished the tix -- biscuits for siblings, earrings + cross stitch for sis and myself, currypuff + coffeepowder + potted plant for papa, book + teapot for mama. i really looked like an aunty, carrying so many plastic bags. 3+pm, papamama came to fetch me (luckily)...and off we went to....
~the national stadium! for syf opening ceremony. my siblings were performing in a dance item in the ceremony, and we were there to support :) they will be performing in ndp too! the entire programme was nice. when the school display bands were playing, my eyes were fixed on the drum major. everytime he or she threw the stick(baton?) i would hold my breath, praying it not to drop. overall it was an enjoyable performance. even my mum, who doesnt' like crowded scenes, kept asking my siblings if they could get ndp tix so we could go watch them again... haha.. hopefully they can get the preview tix.. then we can go again next week.
~finally developed the photos i took with my classes. put into the album already. nice. but i have yet to learn how to burn them into a cd, so that i can pass to my students... i will, soon :p
