30th Aug
Its 6pm and i just woke up.. hahha I知 still sleepy man.. Went to WOMAD yest.. its was good. Had to wake up early yest to get ready for my convocation. Reached EXPO at 11.30. Went to register myself then wait for a few of my frends.. took some pictures, put on the gown. We had to wait a long time before we cld actually get in. Once in we had to wait for the G.O.H and all the other "big" ppl to arrive.. Then as usual they gave their boring speech. Then it was time for the ceremony. My department was like in the middle so the wait was a killer. When i was standing there waiting for my name to be called.. wow.. the feeling of joy, sadness were all in me. I was sad cos my parents didn稚 come but i expected it.. They are not really interested in what i was doing.. well what can i say..
The ceremony was fast.. just had to walk over to my sch president, shake his hand, take the folder, look at the camera, pose and smile.. That was all.. Haha in a split second it was over.. I cant describe the feeling. We then had to wait for the degree holder to get their certs. After the ceremony, I quickly get out of the Heavy gown and grab a quick bite before i rushed over with my fren to her hotel. She had to change as she was working for WOMAD. From her window i cld see the skyscrapers, padang and Esplanade.. Not a bad view.. If only she got a higher level.. It wld be soo much nicer.. haha.
We took a cab down to Fort Canning and i was pretty early.. so i walked ard and meet my old mates who are working for WOMAD this year. I was kindda sad when i was not offered a position this year.. : ( Well so anyways.. it was so nice to see them again so i hang ard with them from booth to booth gossiping. When i came to the beer booth, this chinese guy just said "You're beautiful" and i'm like "huh? what?" HAHA and he just said nutthin. 1st time a stranger said that to me in my face cos usually the comments i got was u're pretty or u're cute.. I also kept telling ppl that I知 pregnant.. One day me and anna my fren decided that we shld say somethin to ppl who kept asking what we are doing now, etc. So the best thing i can think of is by saying that i am pregnant. haha a lot were shocked.. some knew it was crap.. other were like looking and touching my stomach and asking how many months it was.. Whether its a girl or a boy.. asked if I知 already married.. hahha. Hanged ard with them till my other fren arrived. Then brought her ard the place, checking out the food and this Turkish man gave us this lil brooch sayin that it protects us from bad luck and envious eyes.. cool ey.. hee hee.
Walked for a while more meeting ppl then went to grab a bite.. Hungry sia.. So we then stopped by the main stage's beer booth. Free drink ar.. haha fren was tapping beer so just sat with him and chit chat. There was this performance by The Cat Empire.. Man it rocks.. they are from Melbourne but their music and accent doesn稚 show. There music is a bit gypsy-latin-reggae-funk. They sing and play instruments and there were 2 singers. One looked like Corey from American Idol 2.. He's thin and tall, wears the same hat, same curly hair. He痴 soo cute hahha. He has this weird but nice voice and his dance.. hahaha seesh awesome.. but wasted la i was drinking so i didn稚 get to stand near the stage.. so i had to watch from afar. I think that was the best act for the day.
After their performance, went to the top stage. There was this installation by this Aussie guy. He uses light to project images and wat he did was to project 2 faces on the trees... HAHAH yeah!! it was cool and FREAKY!! Cos like image moves and its really scary.. its so god damn dark there.. haha My fren was freaked out! The performance was by these buncha woman dancing to choreographer moves.. BORING! So we heed on down to the main stage and hang ard with the WINE guys.. HHAHA had free vodka sprite.. man i think he wants to kill me.. he had the cup like 3/4 full of vodka! Even his bourbon coke was strong.. I was sitting so i didnt feel a thing but once i stood up to get a bottle of mineral water, i feel the ground moved! Thank god I didn稚 fall or somethin.. so embarrassing! haha then these guys behind me.. whom i worked with last year said "see la drink too much now drunk" hahha. He's cute la.. i had a crush on him last year.. but then i got to know he knew my then bf.. i was like.. damn.. wasted la.. haha.. sat for a while longer and talked to my frens at the wine booth then once the performance started i went down near the stage to shake my butt.. haha
At 11.50, me and my fren went over to the WOMAD Club Set at the Fort gate. Man the DJ sucks!! All his music has a bangra feel to it.. and its like he has to stop the music b4 he plays the next track.. boring sia.. its like dance interrupted! I looked uo and guess wat i saw... RED SKY!! 2 seconds later it started to drizzle.. ahhaha i was like SHIT! continued to dance.. then the drizzle started to get heavier.. still stayed on.. then it was like heavy! so i ran off to the site office to seek shelter. Hahaha I知 not gonna get soaked man.. i was wearing a pink top with brown bra and denim skirt.. cannot sia!! hahhaha I might be dragging myself at the end of the day with a wet skirt! Waited for like 15 mins when the rain was light and went back to the boring music.. Once a while the music was ok.. danceable.. But still la the DJ sucks.. i think he's stil experimenting with this music.. Stupid sia.. then 10 mins later.. it poured again!! SUCKS MAN.. its nice to dance in the rain.. but i was wearing contacts and I知 not gonna let all those acid into my eyes man.. haha vain vain vain... By that time it was already 1.30. The club usually ends at 2 and since it was raining heavily me and my fren decided to call it a day. So we waited once again for the rain to subside then grab our stuff and get the hell outta there.. On the way down.. it poured again and tts it! Nowhere to hide!! So get soaked like hell and we seek shelter at the national library porch. We look like crazy gerls sia.. We both had long hair and its wet haha with rainwater down our faces.. wet clothes.. lol sight to see.. we tot of calling a cab but then a merc cab drove up and stopped in front of us! woo hoo.. What a LONGGGG tiring day!
Lynda my old collge mate invited me a bbq held by her bf at his house which is opposite my house.. She wants me to meet her bf's brother.. I dunno y but she wanna matchmake me and him.. wat was she thinking.. But i saw him at Mahalo once and shit man HE'S CUTE!! Hahaha but I cant go to his place looking like that rite?! So I had to call her up sayin i had to take a raincheck. hee hee. She asked me to personally talk to him.. and I知 like.. shit.. ok then.. so I said sorry to him and he said that I知 still welcome if I wanna pop by.. *evil grin*.
By the time I reach my room and saw my bed I just wanted to crash into it.. haha tired sia... quickly went to have a bath.. Cant get sick.. im going away in a few days and tts the last thing that i want to happen to me.. then feeling a lil refreshed, went to eat some bread, watch tele then off to bed and now here i am nearly 8pm and doing this entry.. haha ok i need to grab a bite and need to sleep sommore.. ahhh ok tts all toodles!!
