hello! It's been a loooooooooong week and I was pretty miserable for most of it...but it's finally Sunday tomorrow!!! Which means church! Whee!! Tomorrow, I'll be letting Elroy go solo on doing PA...hope he does well :) Then all my training won't go to waste. I'll probably still have to stand by just in case he can't set up all the stuff by 11.30...

Anyway, yesterday was a huge break from normal school...cos we finally celebrated Youth Day!! The morning started off quite boring, with weird announcements. Then there was this Indian Bollywood dance performance by some people. Was pretty cool, until we had to do it too...haha...I prefer watching anytime. Bollywood movies are actually pretty cool...haha...I've watched Kaal Ho Naa Ho and Kabi Kushi Khabi Gham...Anyway, after that, it was auctioning and parading of national costumes. The auctioning went crazy! The highest price for one of the items went up to $70!!!! They're crazy!! (but it was 2 teachers fighting for the item lah) Those not rich enough (like me) were extremely bored though. Aside from the occasional drama during big jumps in bidding, we were just stoning away for more than 1 hour :(

After that though, the mood changed as every class began to set up their stalls. My class was doing hennah, hair spray and temp glitter tattoo...so we split into 3 groups, and I was doing the tattoos. Well as you would probably know, I don't do this sort of stuff normally, but in the name of charity...haha...yes I even did for myself for publicity first:) Anyway, our stall was truly overwhelmed and swarmed by customers! haha...we were so busy that there were customers even before the stalls officially opened and after we were supposed to be closed. Oh, and I was the official carver, because we had some templates, but my friends also made some out of transparencies and they were struggling with using the blade to cut out the intricate designs. I like the blade (ok, that sounded wrong)...so I could do it quite well lah...hence, whenever there weren't too many customers, I would be carving out new designs. I also made 2 custom-made ones for those crazy about their CCAs..haha...and they had to pay more for that...so yay! Helped my class earn more. And my work as a tattooer was pretty fun too...I started off quite terriblym, to be honest, but as the day went along, I became a lot better :P I think the standard of service from my class was excellent! haha...and even though it was difficult dealing with so many people in one small location, (and we had to turn down some people at the end :( ) my class topped the level in earnings!!!!!! $535!!! The money doesn't go to us though..charity :P

Oh ya...then we proceeded to the hall...some rather uniteresting talks. Not a very nice way to end the day, but, oh well. I guess the fun fair was worth it. Back in class, we played with all the extra stuff. Sprayed my hair and did hennah for fun too...haha... Right now, what remains are 2 glitter tattoos on my hands and a hennah (totally untraditional one..haha). The tattoos are a rose and a frog(I carved this one!!!haha..)As for the hennah, ya I did on my own too. It says "God reigns" and for the "Indian effect", added some swirls at the sides...haha...so lame...but I like it though :P Anyway, we're allowed to keep these on one a week, but I've decided to scratch off the tattoos tomorrow. Already had some people staring at them for the past 2 days! haha... The hennah will remain till it fades off naturally. God still reigns after that though..heehee

That night, I went to watch the theatre production by my school's theatre club: Mulan. I'm really proud of them, because it wasn't drama at all. It was purely dance theatre;no dialogue, almost everything communicated through various movements. During the play, a lot of people were going "huh? Why so weird?" but I really really liked it. Well, I guess after being in performing arts for quite some time, I can appreciate more abstract but more beautiful art, so I think the money spent was worht it. Well done, Helen and WanTing. Oh ya...Helen was the Stage Manager too! Super pro...haha...My performance with other CCAs will be next Saturday...Choir(whee), CO, Band, String, Chinese Dance, Modern Dance and Guzheng. Hope the audience will appreciate the performance:)

Ok, now for today. I went for worship prac today. Argh!I was late! I hate being late...good thing Auntie Evelyn was there so she could set up PA for them first. I took over when I came. After that, we had lunch together...Me, Jonathan, Ivan, Liesl, Joycelyn...yup. Then I went to Bedok to cut hair (ah! It's very short now! Nvm...hair will grow...haha) and then to the library to borrow books...yes, once again, on the brain :) I seriously have to finish that project soon! haha... Later on, watched Center Stage, and then went to study. Yup. Just now, played Minesweeper Flags with Andy and Joel. I thrashed Andy 5 to 0. I only managed to play 1 game with Joel, and yes, he won. But we had a good talk after that :) It's been a long time..haha...for those who don't know, he's my ex-guitar teacher. Oh ya! They're going on a mission trip tomorrow to China to help Dr Tan Lai Yong (who's also from my church :P) Hopefully, they won't get stopped by customs because they're bringing a lot of medicine and supplies there.

Yay! Church tomorrow! :P Will have our first caroling committee meeting. A bit scary to be student I/C, but I hope the comm will be a huge help :) Ok, got to go. Good nite!
