sav opening ceremony

wanted to blog bout this yest.. but had to rush stuff like EoM yesterday.. yah.
so here goes.

sat was sav opening ceremony with dua pais coming.. so of coz it was a BIG event.. like as they said.. how often do these kinda things happen?? dats really true.. how many times will u open a new sch?? totally new building? n somemore its a village. with kindergarten pri sec n jc. all in one.. at least its connected by a bridge..

so anyway.. in prep for this really grand thing.. the sch did lots.. like finally putting up signboards. when its like term 3.. n when we 1st enter the sch everyone is like totally lost? so clever la... okay.. n then touching up the lousy workmanship though the sch was only built less than a year ago.. theres like cracks. so repainting had to b done.. n then putting up those kinda banners n stuff which is understandable.. n the really nicely done benefactors/donors board with landscaping.. n for this event they really went all out! lol. like cleaning up the river. its like so clean la.. no rubbish.. n also repainting the bridge linking from potong pasir to the side gate.. benefitting the public too.. but erm. the paint ar.. kena the plants la.. pity them.

prep done. rehearsal. on fri.. i dunno y we had to have a rehearsal la.. i meant for ushering.. stand there n wait? for wind to blow by? oh well.. to give us an idea how it'll be ba.. but we waited for dunno how long to do it yeah.. juz like wad someone said.. a waste of resources.. haa.. n the one on the bridge is kinda funny.. 3 ppl stand on overhead bridge.. not the sav bridge but the one near to toa payoh side? ya.. n someone said. y muz usher them? u mean theres more than 1 way to walk across the bridge??? lol.

okay to the main thing.. all dressed up. i met my fellow sfc ppl at pp macs n we ate lunch.. n rachk was there n so was her sis.. n the cool thing is.. shes my junior n she recognises me.. at least found me familiar.. haa.. i think its always so juniors remb seniors n seniors dun remb.
n the highlight of macs was... rachk called out to this guy.. n i was like. wait.. dat name. n rachk was like hes now in r no vj now.. i was like! r u in s53???? lol. could c how stunned he was.. haa.. n of coz i had to intro who i was la.. n we chatted a while.. lol.. i was super high n random then.. haha. i think he muz b thinking this gurl is mad.. im glad shes no longer in vj. lol. whatever he was thinking la. haa

so b4 gathering with everyone else in lt1.. ctw n me camwhored. heee.. n the others who were there.. so fun.. rare opportunity kay. in blazer. haa.. ive yet to get pics from her..

then the actual thing of standing there at the pillar between the orange n red rooms.. at 1st kinda nervous.. i dunno y. but i was la.. i was unsure how to smile.. lol dats weird.. its coz of my braces la.. i dunno how to really smile with it on.. everytime i try smiling i feel fake/unnatural.. i saw it myself la in the mirror.. yea... so i was like later guests get a wrong impression.. ahha.. oh well. starting kinda lil ppl.. n i was so sian.. but later more guests came along.. n after like standing for an hour i was like.. oh my! my feet! legs.. in court shoes! so painful la.. numbed le.. n wearing the stockings made my legs so itchy.. n finally got a break.. n as i tried to walk off.. i was like ouch. stand too long nv move.. then felt like me feet got stuck to the ground n the toes stiff le.. haa.. i think standing not moving is worst than walking in court shoes..

then after the break was a LONGER period of standing.. n the most crucial part of my ushering.. coz minister gonna walk past.. n yeah.. b4 i even saw him coming.. a mass of ppl came holding cameras n videocam n mikes either of them la.. yeah.. so it was like hes coming.. dashes forward n then slowly after the group of media.. i saw the minister n our p n a whole lot of others.. so it was my turn to do my job of greeting loudly [the teacher in charge told me to do so he felt its too soft. hmm.] n smiling really happily.. which i did so to everyone who walked past.. n after dat i moved to the gallery stairs dat side.. waited for them to place the time capsule n stuff.. n then walk to junior sch side.. at the field there was the ruggers who did their battle cry.. n i could hear them.. but all a beat slow.. lol.. like when they hit their laps nth n then lift up i heard *piak* lol. n the ending they supposedly jumped up n shouted up n on at the same time.. but i only heard it when they landed.. LOL.

n then the crowd from cc left n had to walk past the gallery to sas to have their super grand dinner which had fantastic food i heard. coz i didnt have a share in it. boo. wadeva it is.. its like this sudden surge of ppl coming from up the stairs n from the balcony.. was like. ermm. how to greet ar? but anyway.. the best part was.. mssleong came! whoots.. n she was 1st few to walk past n she recognised me! n said hi n asked how i was. whee.. happy. haa.. n saw my neighbour too.. but he didnt c me la. aiya.. if not could have hitched a ride home from him. haha..

after dat was our sad dinner cooked by the muslim food stall auntie. n our pathetic dinner.. we werent even provided drinks la.. how bad can it get? n we r like impt ppl to usher ppl in? coz we give them impression of how saints r supposed to b like.. yeah rite.
took more pics (: with my gleaming braces. i hope.

then back to duty.. which in the end was no duty. lol. funny la.. n then luckily we ended early.. at 7++ reached home 8++ shagged n acheing feet. ouch la. so glad i decided to go to sch in my shoes not court shoes.. or i would have died going home.. lol.
oh adding to the feet. my cheeks felt numb too.. haa.. from smiling too much.. the unnatural smile with braces is kinda difficult for me.. not used to it yet.. n saying at least a hundred times of good afternoon/good evening.

so dat was a day gone from my weekend break. supposedly.
