Where to begin...
Last Friday's practice was a mess. See, that's what you get when people just refuse to turn up for the same practices. Which means I've gotta teach those songs I've already taught at the last practice.
Do you know what are the most annoying kind of people you can get in the alumni? The kind that comes by at the last minute, attends the last practice, and then wants in on the performance. Worse, they then proceed to irritate the hell out of you during that last precious practice where you are trying to get everything together. For God's sake, at least have the decency to shut up while I'm teaching the other sections? Even after I've yelled at them they still don't get the hint. Basses. Go figure. These last minute people who only attended one practice do not deserve to perform, even if they know all their songs. Poor Feli practiced 2 days a week with us and don't even get to sing. So. Screw you. Keep your singing to your bathroom.
Saturday was BBQ at Sher's place. It was.. "meh". Like, on one hand it was nice seeing old faces again, but on the other hand I don't really have much to do with them anymore anyway, except HonSeng, who still indulges me (almost) every weekend. The food was alright, although it seemed as if I'm the only one constantly eating.
Sunday watched Budak Pantai concert with Sher and her friend. It was such a letdown. They sound worse than before. Even more out of tune, if that's even possible. Almost all old songs, save for I think 4. Which means, basically, that it was a waste of time, and if I had stayed at home listening to their CDs, I would have gotten almost the same program, which sounds better than their live singing. Hello, changing the title and adding witty narrative does not constitute "new" song. Even Michael's lame jokes are getting unbearable. Urgh. The worst part was the cost. $30.
After the show I met Feli to exchange presents, since she's off to Malaysia for Christmas. We had an early dinner and she went home for her beauty sleep while I went for my badminton game with my cousins.
Her gift for me was, for the record, fantastic. Diabetic cookies, diabetic peanut butter. How thoughtful! I must confess I am quite touched. Seldom has my friends been considerate with regards to my medical condition and food choices. Although I am partly to blame since I'm always showing the "I can eat anything bring it!" attitude. But, who doesn't care about his own health, really? I'm not asking for special attention just because I'm diabetic, but I think she's just the second person so far (minus family) to show this kind of thoughtfulness which I really missed. So Feli, it was nice of you =) Oh, the bookmark is a little difficult to use, seeing as how its so thick my book can't really close properly with it in the middle of it, but I'm using it anyway. I love your gifts (my stomach agrees), and it's probably the only one I'm getting this Christmas (minus family). So Thank You!
The last 2 days have been spent eaking up at 12+, eating brunch, and watching rented DVDs. I actually have my holiday cut short because my boss is on long MC until the end of the week. Which explains why I'm at work today. Sigh. Can't even clear leave in peace.
Oh well. It's kinda a good thing actually. More rest for the last week of the year. Hopefully somebody will date me for Narnia soon. Prod prod, hint hint.
I bought Christmas cards but I'm feeling lazier by the day to actually write something in them. The problem is, the more I think about it, the more people I feel I have to give a card to. I have only 9 cards left and I don't feel like buying more. Bah.
Oh, if anyone reading this feels like blessing me, I really feel like reading The Chronicles of Narnia. Yep.
