.eve of national day.

the day started on a BAD note. a thunderstorm was brewing when i woke up in the morning. within a few minutes, raindrops started to tap on the rooftop. i was praying and hoping that the rain would cease within 15 minutes so that i did not have to bring an umbrella on my way to school. i am a plain lazy girl. i will rather get wet in the rain and fall sick than to bring an umbrella. so troublesome. i waited till the very last minute and the rain was still as heavy as before. i had no choice but to dump the umbrella into my bag. once again, my effort was wasted. the rain stopped when i was walking to the bus stop. irritaing! that was not all. i have to be caught in the mad bukit timah traffic jam in the morning. the bus was moving at snail's speed. it took the bus 20 minutes to move from KAP to nj. madness!!!

i did not enjoy the march in parade as much as the previous years. it was held in the assembly ground. for goodness sake, how was i supposed to see the parade when there were so many people towering over me. irritaing!! i am a sucker for parades. =) i had a big shock when i saw how they decorated the podium with red and white balloons and our dearest parade commander had to stand there. what a great contrast! was i supposed to take the parade commander seriously or was he going to put up some clown acts for us? hmm....

we did not have the norm national day celebrations. no performances by the various cultural groups and no patriotic sing-a-long sessions. when the sch organises such programmes for us, students will complain that it is boring and no creativity. actually, i miss the norm programmes today. i guessed i would have enjoyed myself more than being a befriender.

when the old folks arrived, we brought them to the LT5 to watch performance. i had to admit that the organisers are a little bit brainless. how could they expect to sit all the students and guests in that miserable LT5 when it was almost full with students before the guests came. omg!!!! no offence here but did they think about the 'what ifs'??? after that, we had some activities and it was finally refreshment. here is another part that pissed me off today.

the few of us went to order drinks for the old folks. i was disgusted by the drink stall auntie's behaviour. it did not mean that when those drinks were meant for the old folks, you could give lesser quantity of drink per cup. that's ridiculous!!! hello??? they are humans too ya? she demanded money before she allowed us to take the drinks. hello??? we would NOT disappear immediately okay. we are responsible students. argH!!! after we had sent the old folks back to their welfare centres, it's time for CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY.

omg!! how i wish willy wonka's choco factory does exist in the world and i am one of the lucky 5 to find the golden ticket in one of his wonka's whipple-scrumtious fudgemallow delight choco bar. it is a fantasy, a place where all the kids and i will love. the choco river, the invention roon, the oompa-loompas. willy wonka's madness and his stupid laughter, his great glass elevator and many many more. it was heart warming towards the end of the movie when charlie taught him the true meaning of family. wonka had never felt that he had one because of his over protective dentist father. wonka even had problem pronouncing the word "parents". sometimes when your parents start to nag at you, do NOT throw your temper at them. instead, take a deep breathe, think and feel their love for you. =)

that's all folks! have a great holiday. early HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY, SINGAPORE!!!! cannot wait for the parade tomorrow night.
