Declassified

Okay, this isn't supposed to be here but nvm. This wasn't fully relevant to the Wicked but it's fun a story to tell! =P

The best bit of the day (which was yesterday, by the way) was that we get to miss school & also practise so that we could back up Jaclyn Victor - who is one of the most talented singers I've ever met! Plus she's super nice.

We went to school at 10am (brilliant 10am!) & then practise, practise, practise in jeans & the Wicked shirt (hehheh, got formal practise attire! Don't play play ah).

For a minute there, I was freakin out bcoz Lyssa called & she was telling me to hurry up (she was waiting for me at the link bridge - she also didn't know how to go in without getting caught. Hehe).

So I quickly packed, packed, packed & when I was on the way to school, I realised (a little too late) that I didn't bring my black socks for the formal attire thing later on.

Finally arrived. Didn't see Lyssa - found out later that she used the canteen way.

Little toddlers were tromping everywhere.


Merayau-rayau everywhere.

Finally went on the van after dragging Philip away from the class for the 3rd time.

Van Trip 1 : Total snooze-fest. Nothing was happening. Everyone had their space & was hogging the snacks. Thank you, Julie for the choccies!!

NO thanks to Brandon who was hogging the chips =.="

Arrived. Started the camfest.

Click! Snap.

At one point, there was even the sound of a quack!.



Zara & I were dead shocked to see Philip go all camera-ready on us all.
We went all fuiyo! when he took out his blazer & slung it over his shoulder like those male models do at the runaway catwalk thing!

Haha =P

Waited for Jac at the lobby for what seemed like eons.
Decided to rest in the room - which was pure glamour.

Dude, we've even got our personal ice machine outside our room! =P

Haha



Went downstairs after making a racket in the room - hehe, like monkeys only - & then practised with Jac for soundcheck.

The mike system wasn't perfect at first (I mean, the monitors were just blaring at us & our mikes weren't even on) so we couldn't be heard but we heard Jac live - FOR FREE!!!!

Later, Ms Ann told us that [cough] somebody [flips hair, puckers lips, swings handbag] said maybe we couldn't sing.

The NERVE of that g-
Um, person!

Haha =P
We're so bad.




Went up. Went down.
Fluster, flutter, fluster.
Dab, dab, dab.
Gloss, comb, brush.

Yes, you got it. Us gals went to the toilet to freshen up.



We went inside & instantly put on our blazers.
It was freezing!

There weren't alot of people, come to think of it.
Onlya few, invited & performers.

Pn Farah was there, looking elegant in that dress & so we went backstage to line up & prepare.






The guys - note, guys - were dead noisy!
I don't know why they were so scared. It was just walking to the stage first.

Haizzz =P




Performed.

Thought we could die but saw Ms Ann & the other teachers smiling & clapping like mad.

Relieved.






DINNER.

FINALLY!! My most long-awaited event.

The courses were so... Yum.

Okay, I sat between Lachman & Brandon, Philip, Zara...

Philip kept telling us lame jokes & we kept making small talk about how guys eat so fast to how to hold a pair of chopsticks properly.

Seriously.

Then there was that part where Philip just got back from work.

Haha =P Who knew berbakat boy knew how to act?





& finally, we went back.

Van Trip 2 : Wah, here everyone went psycho already.
The girls went "I say SOR-RAY!" over & over.

Brandon & Philip. Aiyo, they're the silent, strong [cough] type.

Then it was cheesy karaoke night in a van!

Raindrops keep falling on my he-add!
'Coz baby, there ain't no mountains high enough!
I love yoooou, you love meeee...


You get the picture.


When we arrived, my dad called.
Didn't know where he was & then Zara started laughing like a madwoman.

Turned around & bam! there he was!

Haha =P

I wasn't being blur.
It's not nice to creep behind people, you know?



Well, that's lal I can remember!

Day 2

Ahhhhh, today was way better than yesterday!

Okay, okay... Where to begin, where to begin?

Um... I arrived early - incredibly early - that I managed to line up for assembly with the rest of the people! (Hey, cut me some slack. 7:35am is early enough for me)

& I got a glance of all my classy-mates (hehheh). Unfortunately, I got dragged away for what seemed like a 7 second glance & went downstairs to the canteen for a break.

Zoom!

Went to 1 Terra. Hehheh, action sikit lahh. Showed off my Wicked shirt =P

Jk jk! I gave evry1 their Geo papers before Mr Jiwa (Jeeva, Jeewa... Potato, potahto) would attack me with such gaity!

Zoom!

Was in the bus with Amanda & began laughing our heads off.

[Sigh] I still say that's the weirdest fly I've ever seen in my life =.="

Zoom!

We did the jazz-ercise! Haha =P

& then there was the song.

Oh my God... The song was practically ringing in our heads. It's like Ms Ann drilled a hole in our heads while singing Loathing... Unadulterated loathing....

But at least we sound nice.

I quote : "It's like magic. Bzzzz." =P

We had loads of breaks - when Ms Ann was working onto the different voices - so Marlena & I were playing the '1-10 game'.

Nyek =P

Sadly, no Koreans were at the Avenue so there wasn't much to rate.

Oooh, & there were those 'macho businessmen-looking' dudes who were carrying lunch boxes which looked like suitcases.
I mean, seriously.

How come their lunchboxes look so macho comparing to mine???


Zoom!

Lunch : Went to C3. Dude, there were so many stuff happening.
Um, like when I accidentally said, "Edmund" in front of Edward & spilt a drink on Mak Minni.

Oh yea! Most interesting highlight?

We got this one-to-one lesson on how guys sit.

So far, we've mastered 3 poses =P

Zoom!

We sang with the orchestra!
Wheeeee, it sounded so nice!!

Except that all the girls were cooing about Ian.

Sheesh. He's just some kid with a mini cello. Nothing cute about that.

Hmmmph =P

Zoom!

In the bus next to Amanda (again).

"Annoyed, she is."
"Messy, she is."
"Headache, I have."

Hehe =P It was so fun!

Well, zat's all for now!

O&O,
GadgetG;o)

Day 1

Well, turns out, being in a production does have its perks - [cough] mainly going to Cheras instead of sitting in a classroom =P

Anywayz, I arrived. Didn't know what to do, totally clueless & felt out of it, wearing sports attire instead of uniform.
Then was Assembly. Alalalala, fast forward.

Zoom!

We were lining up to the inside of the bus. I sat next to Alyssa & in awkward silence.
I mean, I know that I'm a very boring person, let alone a very interesting conversationalist.

But we played hangman & she doodled on my doodles.

Zoom!

At the canteen, following everyone & eating my food (yup, I brought my lunch bag with me. Hehe).
Finally went to the vocal studio - which is surprisingly small in Cheras standards. I mean, c'mon. They have a campus cafe! - & practised mostly What is this feeling?.

Ms Ann was really annoyed with us altos bcoz we were seriously clueless - I blame the sops =.=
So she asked me to sing alone with the sopranos - scary.

Then, she asked Mithrra (spelled it right?) join.
Then, Farah.
Lastly, Amanda.

& boom! It sounded so... Wicked.

Lunch : Well, I ate with Brandon, Guy P, Zara, Joanna, Laura...
Mak Minni wasn't there bcoz of dance. Haizz.

So I ate. & then got annoyed when Guy P stole my food & started criticizing about my lunch bag.

(He's really obviously envious of my beautiful lunch bag!)


There were so many guys after joining the Cheras! Way more tenors & new guys, like Dani (or something like that lehh), Edward (=.=) & VK.
Oh yea, & Jason.

Speaking of which, that guy was so funny. When he bumped into Philip & went all, "Oh... Philip, right? How are you?"
Then Philip, evil quiet one which he always is, raised an eyebrow & went all, "I'm fine..."

Then some Cheras girl looked at him & said, "Oh! Your name is Philip? I only remember you as Berbakat."

Hahahahaha =P he choked on water at that time, if I recall.


Zoom!

We were lining up to the bus going back home. THIS is the interesting part.

I sat down & guess who was standing there?

Yup. Him =.=" I dunno why he couldn't sit down somewhere else if he was so fast as he claimed himself to be.
I mean, seriously.

Then Iwawan & some form 2 dude & (oh God, I dunno how to spell her name... I really am pathetic =.=") the girl who plays Elphaba - I am not sounding standoff-ish on purpose, I swear! - sat around us.

It was hilarious the whole way round. Iwawan was trying to bug Elphaba (I'm sorry!!!) bcoz she was so sleepy. So that form 2 dude & Iwawan were asking her whether she knew these random celebrities.

Then, they were running out of questions so they decided to fake it & ask everyone in the bus.

So Iwawan was like, "Do you know Philip Ooi?"
& she went "Ngh."
& then, Form 2 Dude looked at me & said, "Do you know Aishah... Er, something?"

Glare. Glare. Glare. Glare. =.="" Geesh

Then she went, "Aishah something?"
Then they skipped & asked, "Do you know Amanda Khoo?"
& then she went, "Uh, no."

Then Iwawan stood up & asked the Amanda behind them, "You're Amanda Khoo, right?"
& she was like, "No!"

It was hilarious! Then Elphaba started yelling at him & I was trying really hard not to burst out laughing.





... So, yea. That's all the details I can remember right now. My brain's mushed, my wrists are hurting...

Ta!


Har =P
