i am srsly really too siann to study any more bio or ss already.
tmr nt abit amath (DIFFERENTIATION ZOMG) and bio back-to-back, and ss after school.
hurrah hurrah.
to take my mind off my sianness, i shall post what happened on saturday ((:

well, first i set off late from my house.
cos fiddling with media converter :p
end up the video quality still turned out rather badly.
anyways.
so we went down to citylink (:
thn there was soooooooo much time before we were due to meet ivy and jesmine.
(see, im so nice, i dont call her fatfat)
so we went HMV (:
bought my lovely SHINee album <33333333333333333 and zhuwei's present.
i srsly wont buy things if they arent worth it to me.
and, wells, i went out with the mentality to spend money.
so zhuwei! dont feel guilty!

tomoe finally bought DBSK stuff! :D
and we went to look at AADBSK2.
it costs a whopping 141.95!
scaaaaaary.
but my lovely cousin very nicely agreed to lend it to me!
watchfest after Os, she thinks it's a good idea too :D

after HMV, we went MPH to look around.
and somehow all the books tht i picked up were damn sad la.
the last lecture.
the whole book itself is damn sad.
and then i picked up a random book about a girl whose dad just died,
and he left her a little journal sort of thing, with one entry for every birthday of her life.
from 18 years old to 30 years old i think.
thn i read the first entry which was OMG DAMN SAD.
thn i went off and found another book called The Other Boleyn Girl.
since both the previous books had very sad first chapters, i flipped to the ending for this one.
and it was about the execution of Mary's sister.
and Mary was lamenting the loss of her own love, and her sister's life, and the fact that Jane Seymour was the new Queen. or smth like that.
WHICH WAS ALSO DAMN SAD.
):

anyway, after that we went to find fooooooooooood.
ate mos burger ((:
and i mastered the art of blowing straw wrappers yesss (:
yinyee's expression whn it hit her nose was so funny (:

after lunch we walked to marina square!!
went to find tomoe's waterbottle.
and picked out all the fluorescent-ish clothes that she says she likes.
some of them remind me of SHINee. :O
but at least they (SHINee) look good in skinny jeans!
not like (.............)

after we found her waterbottle, we went to find ivy!
(i talk like ivy's another item on a shopping list)
anyway. thn we ate hokkaido ice cream while waiting for jesmine!
and i accidentally spilt the ice cream on yinyee :p
but yinyee saved the cup, so she saved the ice cream too!
thank goodness (:

and in typical jesmine fashion, she was suuuuuuuuuper late despite being the one to suggest meeting at 3.30pm.
and the most auntie-ish out of all of us lorxz.
all of us were wearing shoes while she was wearing slippers and a super aunty bag.
AUNTY JESMINEEE (:

thn we walked towards the stadium.
really a sea of red y'know (:
and, haii, just so many memories ((:
although the road that we used to stand on, it was previously tiled but now its paved.
and we got the "lime green" sector, which was not too bad!
i was worried we'd get the dark green one, cos then i'd see nth.
abit light green is lime green and dark green is leaf green la. -.-
can't leaves be bright green too?
navy blue sounded a bit more normal, but sky blue.....
oh wells.

the parade was <3333333333333
its really different seeing it from a spectator's pov!
and, wells, i think i irritated alot of people trying to get good pictures :p
i dont think they turned out that well anyway.
waiting till after all the tests for this week are over to upload pics.
probably will do so either on the 7th or 8th.

the hosts were, well, not the same people as last year.
but equally (...) as last year's people.
hot pink jumpsuit, yo.
only after they mentioned it did i realise they were meant to be power ranger outfits.

and adrian pang wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D
he rocks (:
and he sang well! (:
and he also wore a very nice shade of blue ((:
i love blue (:
jonghyun's wearing blue in the SHINee album too <333
(although his shirt says 'drink water' but thats beside the point)

anyways.
the wheelchair-dance group was damn pro! so cool haha.
and after the parade we went down to the promenade (is that what its called?).
and we saw chen tianwen!
only then did i realise he was in the performance hoho.

haha the line dancers were pretty cool too.
although there was once i took a shot, and they happened to turn.
and instead of catching their colourful outfits, i caught a mass of white backs facing me. :/
and the singapore cheer is cute!
S! I-N! G-A-P-O-R-E!
haha coolios (:

and thn nathan hartono was performing!
ahhhhh his jazz-ish kind of voice <3
and he looked qt cute too, dancing with the kids.
although i only took a picture of him from the screen.
but good enough, good enough.

the performance by the naval divers/wakeboarders/parachuters (?) was cool too.
they formed the word 08 in the bay!
so cool (:

THEN THE RED LIONS YAYYYY.
highlight for every parade.
although the welcoming cheer for them (i dno how else to say it) was rather badly timed.
anyhow, i was too obsessed with taking pics (:
i've always loved the red lions (:

the military band was... wells, i didnt get their point. haha.
their drills were fancy.
but what was up with the red chinese fans, i had no idea.
ooooo but the sparking motorcycles were cool.

Sorry if my post is making no sense, im reviewing my camera pics and blogging simultaneously :p

Parade Sergeant Major, MWO Shamsuddin!!!
(i think i spelled his name right.)
damn zai :D

haha anyway, MEMORIESSSSSS.
sjab is the last to be mentioned again, but ohwells.
they got to march up the ramp, though.
wonder how that feels, hoho.
esp how it feels to have the combined choir right behind you and waving streamers?
ohwell, the aerial view of the parade is alw cool anyways.
regardless of whether it spells NDP07 or NDP08 (:

thn the GOH!
omg first time i took pictures of the colours party okay!
they are damn zai (:
and some more they werent using the practice flags!
so it looks damn zai and cool (:

ooooh and this time during the musical interlude they have dancers!
they rewrote Home in tamil... veedu, i think it was.
and they had indian dancers~
and thn there was My Island Home in chinese...
thn the combined school choir performed with those beijing opera-style masks.
and there was a chinese opera thingyyy which was quite cool haha.
and then they rewrote There's No Place I'd Rather Be in malay!
and they had malay dancers too.
and then there was jacintha abishegenaden (oh gosh i can nvr spell that right)
and the SAF Music and Drama i-dont-rmb-what-else.
their acapella was nicee!!!
i love good acapellas <3

oooooh and whn the speaker of parliament came, i made sure i took a picture of the flag flying past and the colours party's salute!
will never miss those, haha (:
oh and of course the opening of umbrellas!
even though no one was looking, i will definitely keep an eye out for it!

and then the speaker of parliament inspected the contingents...
they fired the cannons too, wonder if anyone twitched like last year...
and they didnt have to wave!! only the 'adult contingents', as i like to call them, waved!
oh wells...

and the jets!!! <3
aiya, one pilot flew too fast though.
qt obvious from the shot.
oh well!

and then they did the feu de joie (:
rmb how it used to jolt us awake (:

ooh and i made sure i took pictures of the three state colours too (:
although they all look the same, but i miss gawking at the flags :/

the marchpast was cool haha.
they did a kind of u-turn at the promenade where they were standing.
so i got shots of the army marching past the airforce, navy marching past police etc.
hurray for GOH contingents marching past each other (:

AND THE BLACK KNIGHTS WERE AMAZINGGGG.
although the other contingents disappeared from the floating platform whilst everyone's faces were turned to the sky.
BUT THEY WERE ZOMG SO AMAZING!
i srsly went crazy trying to follow them with the camera.
caught their midair loops.
and attempted to catch them as they crisscrossed in midair, but gahh too slow.
but i did take two lovely shots of the heart in the air (:
and one with the plane right in the middle of the heart (:

attempted to take pictures of the fountains (:
i have a weakness for fountains.
i think the pics turned out quite fine.

the firework things to start off the show segment were cool.
i had no idea what they were, though.
but the digital displays on the screen were pretty (:
couldnt catch proper shots of the round green balloons :/
cursed be the darkening sky.

and the rest of the show was very pretty (:
and so were the fireworks!

my camera batt just got exhausted haha.
nvm, but hard to describe the show anyway.
i took HORRIBLE pictures because of the lousy lighting.
either i use flash and the whole thing goes dark,
or i dont use flash and the camera lags.

anyway.
and there was a nice picture of the five of us at the end (:
i felt guilty, though.
couldnt get my camera flash to work and i think the uncle was rather irritated.

anyway!
after that we squeezed with the rest of the crowd, thn went to eat dinner.
mild miso ramen indeed.
damn salty can.
and not say very cheap too :/

and that concludes my saturday! (((((((((((:
as you can probably tell from the liberal use of smileys, i enjoyed it alot ((:

but that's over for now.
and i have to get back to bio, ss and amath.
boo yall.
