sigh. what a jam packed and demoralising day.

had piano in the morning, 3 hour paper.. got home at round 12noon. Mom didnt cook cuz was having tuition then asked me go buy lunch for everyone. So i went and came back round 1230. Stuffed food down and left house at 105.

Reached commonwealth mrt for national day observance ceremony at 150+pm. Stupid phone went from full bar in the morning to one slit when i was on the mrt so had to off it to save for later. After everyone came, we went in. They gave us quite budget shirts, the white shirt was so thin, zui qiu totally looked like some farmer.

So at that new town primary school, we sat around for about 1 hour waiting for someone to brief us. Ate ice cream while waiting. Finally this guy came and briefed us, but he was talking to like one side of the mini grandstand, so the other side couldnt hear nothin. He told us to go get hats, and wa lao, thought we would at least get the nicer red caps but we seriously got straw farmer hats. -.- We took the guy's kind of hat cuz who said there had to be a gender segregation for hats anyway. The guy's one looked more elaborate, like cowboy hats. The girl's one looked like wearing hay on your head.

We were sent off to our respective positions, but quite dumb, me and huiwei were sent to a gate that wasnt even open. The only job we did there was to help this random guy pass food to a red indian [he was wearing red shirt] by passing it to us over the gate. So after that me and huiwei went to ziuqiu and joycelyn's gate to help them open and close it. Got my foot stuck under the gate once cuz they pull it open too fast before i moved so i got a bit lighter, it removed some dead skin. The parade came in through that gate, so we got to see evrything close up, including miss singapore, which we couldnt even recognise anyway, other than the fact that she was wearing the cloth thingy that said so.

After the MPs came, we went to the field where they were having performances. After zui qiu posed some farmer poses, we decided to go sheng siong and buy some stuff. Then huiwei made a random comment that "ey you know ppl that can use the tongue to tie knot with cherry stalk", then i was like "i can!" then she" ... are good kissers." UH. Since when?!?! NVM. so she very excited in the end ask me to buy cherries cuz i like cherries so that she can play with the stalk -.- So i bought 10 cherries, then we went out then all of us started trying to tie knot with the stalk, look quite bian tai. Zui qiu was the best! He was the first to get the knot done man.. then me! Then huiwei who always got halfway but never suceeded, and MINLU like, 1 HOUR LATER. xiu rong spat her stalk out while laughing at zui qiu's conceited face!!! Yuckk... While they were all trying me and zui qiu did it a second time!

After that went back and the pink guy told us just have to wait until it ends, help to make the ppl leave then can go le. But ppl already left by themselves, so we just watched the last few performances then we left. Me and xiu rong rushed off to pasir ris for the end season bbq...

Think we alighted too early, we ran there halfway and walk halfway. Reached round 837pm? There were round 20 ppl left i think. All the food was cooked finish le.
