Friday, May 1, 2009 making-sweetness

can't contain my excitement k! MGHANDBELLS09 GOT A GOLD!!!! very very good in view of the high standards this year! =D and coz no one got that highly coveted gwh. soooooooooooooooo...BIG SMILES ALL AROUND OK! =D was DYING to shout this to the world since syf was over, but my sis was using the com...hehehehe

ANYWAY, shall dao yesterday's mildly interesting events (merely consisting of getting stuck in a jam and buying a pillow for my dad) and move on to THE BIG BIG DAY ~~TODAY~~ YESTERDAY! (past 12am mah...) handbells syf day!!! as very obviously seen, i prefer handbells to strings a gazillion, billion, million n-llion times more. hahahhaha...since the juniors know of our plans and stuff, i can just blog freely about it! we are LOVELY seniors k and i guess tiff and sandra will agree! =D

wait wait, i'll say what THE GRAND PLAN '09 IS FIRST! stage 1: SENIORS FLOOD TAGBOARD WITH ENCOURAGEMENT! stage 2: WE ALL PRAY FOR AND WITH THEM! *for without God, man's plans will amount to nothing* stage 3: MAKE OUR NICE 'JIAYOU BOTTLES' WITH what else but OIL AND THE 'GO MG HANDBELLS' SIGNS! stage 4: GIVE THEM THE STUFF, SUPPORT THEM THERE AND GIVE THEM FLOWERS N SWEETS! =D obviously, the BRILLIANT person who thought of this was TIFFANY the *cough cough* SANE! i just went high with her and sandra helped once she quit her awfully boring job. =D

back to my day--met sandra in the morning at the hc bus-stop and took 156 to far east flora to buy FLOWERS FOR THEM! kinda got off at the wrong stop though, so we walked and walked up the road (luckily the weather was nice and cool) to far east flora. bought those nice geraniums (i THINK that's what they are called) in bright ORANGE AND PINK colours! nice cheery flowers! love them better than roses. cut off the ends to shorten them and went to the macritche bus stop to take a bus to kap!

THEN I FOUND OUT THAT I LOST MY EZLINK CARD. the nice orange one summore =( apparently, post-offices don't sell ez-link cards, only exchange them. sooooo...bought another one at bukit batok mrt station. -_-"

went to eat eat at kap, bought the chocs from cold storage, then WALKED LIKE MAD to the ngee ann poly bus stop to give tiffany the flowers so she can surprise the juniors later! hahahaha....SHE AND HER PINK COMMIE SHIRT! can spot her opposite the road from so far away lah! and i POSITIVELY DETEST MURPHY TO THE CORE. spastic murphy's law--we waited FOREVER for the 61 to bukit batok so we ended up missing mg's turn BY THAT LITTLE BIT! we already rushed like mad by running to the train, getting off early and taking a cab lah! but....we should have just taken a cab from ngee ann to rp directly. WHY IS THAT SCH SO FAR AWAY??!?!?!?!?

nevermind....mrs aw said they played well, but there were better times during practices. mingled around with those cute cute juniors, CAM-WHORING and stuff. ooo....hope they all upload the pics! =) listened to the other schools too...OOOOOOOOO...I MISS RINGING HANDBELLS! i did think that most of the schools were really not bad leh! a few messy parts here and there, but generally GOOD! i really want to hear pl and (of course) mg leh! too bad we came late and they were before the interval =(

ahhh...then came the NAIL-BITING MOMENT--the announcement of the results. can see that they were all really nervous, clutching each other's hands and stuff. CHERRY (the bao. aka mghandbell'09 pres) WAS UNDER EMOTIONAL TURMOIL TODAY LAH! her brain is quite randomly complex...hahahha...

then...they announced pl's silver. SHOCKED CAN! silence for that millisecond,followed by awkward applause. poor them...can tell that they are super duper disappointed. the next few schools had silver too. AND IT WAS MG. gold. we all SCREAMED like mad lah!!!!!!!!! coz of all that pressure from all the silvers before, plus i think they really deserved it. and the choir just before them played "fantasy in g minor" aka "yunjing's nightmare" too. so coincidental. oh....sc and rg got gold too, no gwh at all amongst the handbell choirs. SHIOK AH! ONE OF THE 3 SCHOOLS WITH GOLD! cherry was super overwhelmed by her emotions lah, started off the "crying with joy chain"!

cedar was absolutely annoyed lah, kept spamming the judges with questions. but, who can blame them? i would be so upset and disappointed if i were in their shoes. at least there's a judge who can actually RING A BELL! he knew the techniques, parts of the bells, etc. like FINALLY. a judge who understands. he was just reiterating whatever mrs aw said regarding martellatos, starting positions, how to ring, so on and so forth. SO, BACK AT YOU ALL ROUGH RINGERS WHO ONLY MOVE AROUND WITH SCANT REGARD TO PROPER RINGING TECHNIQUES! the other judges, well...it's the normal NO HANDBELL BACKGROUND SO CAN'T COMMENT MUCH kind.

suddenly, the jubilant mood was dampened by the loss of the brown bag with baos and cherry's phone. cherry was in the LOW part of her emotional rollercoaster ride. seriously must hear how she described her feelings for today, HILARIOUS MAN! luckily she found it! it was taken by the cedar girls by mistake and mrs aw went there to get it back for cherry!

ahahahaha....and i followed the coach home (with tiffany)! of course man! then don't need to use public transport and waste money! sat around and gave out the presents, CAM-WHORED and talked rubbish! oh...and ate bao. hahahha. MRS AW'S SON IS SO TALL NOW. this is so unfair. period.

and i really, officially MISS HANDBELLS LIKE MAD. it's the best thing ever, the thing i officially have ZERO regrets about. I WILL NEVER REGRET JOINING MG AND JOINING HANDBELLS. i get so high just THINKING about the symposium in osaka next year (CAN EAT AND EAT AND EAT NICE FOOD IN JAPAN!!!!!!) and the one in 3 years time in EDINBURGH! woots! exciting stuff man!

pity i can't say the same about hwachong.
