blazer day 2

had that ceremony to receive my pm book prize today. got to leave class at 1030! woot! no pw... no bio prac.... got changed and created a hole in my stockings! damn. i'm not gentle enough. and i took the wrong set of stockings (is it a pair of stockings? cos they're in one piece so they can't really be a pair technically. whatever) so they felt a bit uncomfortable. i was so scared i was going to split them just before i went on stage (for the record, i didn't)

ok then my sister picked me up from school, along with jasho, xinling and 2 guys(i don't know how to spell for now so to save some embarrassment, they'll just be 2 guys) had a rehearsal before that and got a peek at the reception (!!!!)

actual thing: can i say firstly that the auditorium at the RELC is freezing! yes the blazer keeps you warm but i've got my legs bare except for my very thin and threatening-to-tear stockings. brrrrrrr... then had to endure the embarrassment of my dad coming up to take a photo of me. which sparked an entire chain of kiasu burger parents who refused to be outdone by my dad. hahaha then GOH arrival. chan soo sen. hmm. ok next. managed to get on stage without tripping/falling/tearing my stockings. AND i remembered to smile for the camera and bow :) oh but i'm extremely disappointed that i wasn't identified to speak to GOH or the press. like seriously, how do they choose these ppl? i mean qinghui i can understand. but what abt me? hahaha missed this 30sec of fame. darn. next time!

reception! pretty yummy. the durian pancake was lovely! there was all sorts of yummy things, tako pachi, kueh lapis! and just the way i like it too, with prunes. and i really liked the punch they were serving. i was so thirsty, which according to the pe teacher means i've been dehydrated for an hour.

right and i met lots of ppl there. 3 generations of math teachers! pri, sec, jc. and of course my pri school v-principal was extremely keen to meet me and i believe i should be gracing the next nanyang primary school newsletter. then lots of photos with deborah tan and the rg contingent and also the rj bunch. anyway the 'prize' is a whole paperbag of CHINESE books. oh joy and jubilation. oh and $200.
