14th dec
the morning started off very slow. i went to tutor my cousin. gave him a test which he scored 79.5/100 for. quite good la.. at least an improvement but didn't reach his target yet so he has to work harder..
went home to get ready before the auditions!!!
i was waiting for the rest to come, practice one more round before the real thing. still not nervous then.
practised n i sorta screwed up the piano part for 'u n me' cos i was getting a little freaked out (note a little) but 'true' went pretty well. we finally fixed the bridge n sang the whole song well for once without stopping!! then at 4.45 which was pretty late we set off.
it was raining so quek, chew n i shared an umbrella while the 2 guys shared one. took 608 which was super bumpy, not to mention slow. almost threw up upon arrival at suntec bus-stop. from there, we still had to cross over to marina square then to the esplanade..
each time we were nearer, the more freaked out marc n i were getting... "ahhhh!!!!!"
and then, we arrived............
DENG DENG DENG DENG! *spooky music plays in the background*
we walked in n the auditions were rather immediate..
we had a sound test first, so i had to sing the chorus, momo played the guitar. i was really nervous n i tried sitting on the metal bar stool, but my butt slipped off though it wasn't very obvious n i tried to pretent nothing happened.
LILIAN, CHEW N QUEK!! THANKS FOR SUPPORTING US!!!
they weren't alot of pple there but i think it's sorta just stage fright.
so i sang first...
*sing sing sing sing...*
"do u... want me to?
cos.......... "
(alamak!!! i forgot the lyrics!!)
"sorry." said i.
(went on to the chorus)
(at the bridge)
momo n i screwed up cos we weren't synchronised.
*sing sing sing sing*
"all my life i've waited.....this is true..."
(end)
and it was done!!! =) marc's turn, i didn't dare to play the piano cos my hands couldn't move.
marc did really well. i was certain he was super nervous too cos even i felt nervous for him.
then the verdict.
the bald miseour who own's the cafe talked to us and gave us comments on how to improve and all.
he said we needed to polish up so he told us to meet him once more for another audition with our 2 songs and 1 more song. it'll probably be next week or the week after next.
waaaaa... i was super relieved it was over. we didn't get in immediately, but we will!! haha. hopefully. we're only 16!! young n still learning. no harm done. =)
then we decided to grab our dinner.
but we were distracted by the make-a-wish-on-a-ball counter.
so we decided to scribble all our wishes on the ball.
we took up one whole ball!! but its a fair trade cos it was 6 of us->1 ball. =)
scribble scribble scribble...
us scribbling...
scribbled out wishes.
wish ball and us! =)
ball toss!!
up up and away!!!
the wish balls are supposed to be thrown into the marina bay river during the countdown and let our wish balls float aimlessly, freely on the open water. =) i like the idea of that.
after spending much time writing and writing our wishes even when we ran out of them and cooked them up on the spot, we finally decided to go eat at marina square food court but momo had to leave first cos he was meeting his friends.
we went to visit fann at cedele for the first time but alas, she left work early that day... =(
dinner time -MAKAN!
i ate shui jiao mian.. yum. chew n i shared a large coke from mcs.
lilian n quek had to leave early so it was just marc, chew n i.
we went to Toys R Us to get chew's brother his christmas present -night vision googles..
i knew we were gonna have alot of fun at Toys R Us the moment we stepped in cos at that moment, i felt sth drip on my head. the air con was leaking... how lucky of me. marc kept laghing bout it.
upon searching n searching n searching for the googles... (we didn't really search tht much. we were like playing n playing n playing. Toys R Us unleashes the inner child in us =) )
we finally asked a sales assistant n he guided us to where it was. erm... chew said her bro said it was $12++.. but it was $19.90 (only for Toys R Us members somemore!!) n chew wasn't even a member so she would have to pay $29.90 for them... O.o
she didn't want to.
"who wants to pay frikin' 30 bucks for some stinking night vision googles thing that might not even work."
"if u wanna see in the dark just turn on the light la!!!"
later she felt guilty so she admitted, "i'm such a cheapo sister."
bahaha. chew. u aren't cheapo la. ur a nice sister who takes the time to hunt for a good christmas present for her little bro. =)
being a nice sister, we set out on a new quest led by chew to get her bro some miscellenous items along the way while she kept babbling "he likes turtles!"
and.... of course we played along the way to find her bro a new christmas present!!! =P
marc is easily fascinated by the wonders of childrens' toys.
ok la.... so were chew n i.
acting pretty. we couldn't put them on cos they were obviously too small n we'd probably just rip them apart of sth. 
marc n i fighting with broomsticks and dustpans. (note: marc isn't that much taller than me! it's fake it's fake!!! he was tip-toeing. cheater.)
now this is funny. marc used some claw thing to pinch chew.. bahahaha. aww... cute little chubby chew. alliteration
curious passerbys and sales pple were looking at us like we're woodbridge patients on loose or sth... 
look! joanne finally learns to play the piano on the "my first piano" piano.
marc and his new found pet pony.
marc in action as he liberates his pony.
and then we decided to get a present for a friend. a good friend if not we wouldn't have persisted in getting the present.. the sales pple must really think we're mad exchanging n exchanging notes for coins.
hmmm i wonder what this is..... super expensive present if u ask me.
concluding our Toys R Us visit with a picture taken near the gingerbread house!
but not the end of our shopping journey yet. we went to fox to look at nice clothes. after finding a nice blouse n chew changing time n time again in the changing room with poor marc being so bored he locked himself and sat on the floor of one changing room, we decided to go home...
wait!!! still does not end yet. chew n i went to siglap mcs to eat super. she ate a chocolate sundae while a ate a vanilla ice cream cone n we shared a cup of ice lemon tea. talked n ate. =) a wonderful way to conclude the day. some weird guys added to the event part of the day when they said hi when chew n i were standing near the traffic light, waiting. we think we know what they thought we were.
CRAZY AR?!?! bak jiu tak stamp lor. hello. sling bag, long sleaves. they said sorry sorry when we turned to stare at them with a 'HUH?' look. losers.
other than tht, it was a beautiful day.
today, i woke up in the afternoon. haha. i can't help it, i was super exhausted. then i continued reading my library book bout the Quinn brothers. finished reading about cameron who's super hot. ethan is so sweet!!! but seth is my favourite =)
(i know u don't know what i'm talking about.)
going to eat dinner and catch the final episode of project runway! tml's the sentosa trip for green team! =) can't wait.
