Until the stars are all alight.

Arts Day was pretty interesting. We had fun at salsa, then baked in the sun for a while at the parade square. The magician/contortionist/fire-eater guy was fantastic, but it was irritating the way he kept addressing everyone as though we were primary school kids. Personally, i think all the bands were really cool, but a junior college isn't the best place for them to perform.

We went for lunch after that, and then back to school for training, sharing 2 umbrellas between 5 of us and getting completely drenched. Met the rest of the girls at school, and man i'm glad it stopped raining soon after that. Training was hard work and fun as usual, and we left school at around 8.15 after a little bit of salsa on our own (amu's a great teacher!) and after watching the guys practise their dance for a little while.

Training is gonna get more intensive from next week, girls! I'm so glad we're all so cooperative and hardworking and bonded!

A Whole New World

I'm in love with this. Their voices can convey so much more than just words. And this is just their very first recording!

Oh, CTs are over. Forgot to mention that in the post.

Yesterday (friday) was supposed to be a half day. We ended at 12.45. My usual day ends at 1.20 anyway.

So after sitting with the debators for a while and listening to them run through once more, i left the debate room and went to the hall with Simran to see the release of results.

Sowmya was in VJ for her NUS booth and Simran can't stop talking about how pretty she is =)

Congratulations to all my lovely seniors! Especially the wonderful people who didnt do well for prelims, but jumped from E to A in more than one subject for the As! It was so nice meeting them again. And to those who didn't do as well as they'd wanted to, i believe it's in your capacity to do better in anything that follows. And congratulations to Dhevy, Pushpa, Saranya and Sakthish for getting your A1s! After talking to all the seniors for a while, the whole lot of us J2 debators and supporters went back to the debate room. The debators left in a taxi and we were to follow in the chartered bus.

Well, it was a hard day, with anger and disappointment, but with encouragement and support too. I won't mention the bad parts here. Thanks to everyone who came down to support, Thiru, Simran (even though you didnt understand), Rachna, Lavan, Lois, Varshini (who came down by herself 'cos the bus left her behind, shucks) Sundar (thanks for all the pre-debate help man), Aparajith, The TJ supporters- Preeti, Arathi, Gunalan and Ilakiya (oops i'm not sure how her name is spelt, thanks so much you guys), Sai (even though you didn't understand either), Rama, Thilanga, Dev Reema, Joel who came to watch and Joel's cousin Sam.

And especially Dhevy, who bore the brunt of 15 minutes of shouting-at-the-top-of-his-voice and scolding from the bus driver, on top of all the stress.

And of course, our lovely debators, Vaishu, Hasinah, Pushpa and Saravanan. We didn't make it but you guys were still awesome! And congratulations to Pushpa for getting talent-spotted by the judge!

Went to eat with the gang after that, which was pretty fun.

And when talking online that night, I was so tired from 4 consecutive days of 3 hours' sleep each that i told a senior to sleep well before NS, by mistake, instead of telling him to have fun before going in. =P




Simran: You're so useless (followed by a string of different words, all with the same meaning.)
Me: Are you a thesaurus?
Simran: What's that?
