Singing To A Broken Car
Teddy music: Craig David – Walking Away
Aah…my skin doesn’t feel sticky anymore. Ugh. I couldn’t wait to get home to a nice shower after eating out with family for dinner. It feels SO good to have ‘unsticky’ skin. Nice and smooth. Yeap, it’s all good. =)
Again, Streamyx has gone AWOL. *Smack, smack*
My parents and youngest bro went to Times warehouse book sale. Bought a ton of books! Yippee! New books waiting to be read. My dad asked me what type of books I wanted (since I’d be at Mantissa for the rehearsal in the morning) but I didn’t really know (or care) what genre they were as long as it’s not:
a) Horror --> I get creeped easily in a sense…cannot sleep after that, thanks to my wild & vivid imagination…I’ll have insomnia for several days
b) Boring fiction --> I’ll read most anything that’s interesting, irrespective of genre
Teddy music: 12 Stone - Home
Well, I came home to a 1.5 feet of stacked books for me in my bedroom. All for under RM50. Bargains, eh? Haha. Last night, I’d told my dad to pick books that are sort of like CSI (the forensics science show…it’s damn cun!) and there’s several crime books. There’s this really thick book called “The Mammoth Book of True Crime”. I think Sean might be interested in it. =)
The interesting part is…only yesterday (or the day before) I’d changed my current reading material section to read: “Nothing…someone get me books!” And ta-dah! A whole stack of books waiting to be devoured by a thirsty brain. Although, the sad part is that I won’t be able to spend several hours in a book thanks to assignments and jobs that’re demanding my time. Don’t forget preparing for exams!
Teddy music: Jay Chou – Wei Lian Gu Bao
My clothes are done in the washing machine. I think I’ll attend to it later when I’ve finished blogging this. I’m actually using Microsoft Word to type ‘cuz I’ll have to resort to using Jaring dial-up again (no thanks to Streamyx) so I don’t want to waste precious Internet time typing. The time is now 9.53pm.
Teddy music: Blue – Fly By
Today was the 2nd rehearsal at Mantissa Institute. Supposedly we were to meet up at 9.30am for a quick warm-up but since Mel was late (as usual) we didn’t get to warm-up until just before the rehearsal. Actually, the rehearsal only started at 11am and only our group, another group (or more like, the 2 guys playing guitar) and another guy were present. The dancers and the guy who could sing so beautifully (we loved his voice so much…it’s so rich and powerful, like Josh Groban! And…he’s only 16!!) weren’t there. We were kind of disappointed we couldn’t get to hear the ‘Josh Groban’ guy sing again. =(
Teddy music: Vitamin C – Graduation Song
Anyways, we didn’t perform too well during our rehearsal since we messed up quite a bit. I’m sure Penn would’ve drowned us in her words of sarcasm. I guess we were still too hyper after laughing our guts out during a crazy conversation prior our turn. All kinds of crap we threw out in that conversation. Stuff like the games we used to play when in primary school, the funny rhymes used to choose people for games and X-rated stuff too. Mel’s brother was telling us that there were guys in the same room but we just told him that it doesn’t matter ‘cuz we don’t care who hears it. =) Oh yeah, we were the only bunch of girls today. The rest were all guys. Actually, there was one point that Eugene was standing near us listening and I happened to mention that our conversation was “25-SX so you’d better go away” but he went and stepped nearer! Funny guy, that fella. =)
Teddy music: The Temptations – Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch
He’s very patient with us. And compliments us on our singing far too much. Pai seh, wei! A certain RainMaker was unmerciful in her teasing at him. After the rehearsal, he was asking us if we could go to Concorde Hotel at 11am instead of 2pm. Then, Anrie said, “Sure, we’ll be there at 12pm. Oh yea, is lunch provided?” Then it started la the crapping about we won’t go if there’s no lunch provided and bla bla bla. All in fun, really. Poor Eugene kept saying so many times, “OK, so 11am this Friday” until when we wanted to leave, Anrie piped up with “I suppose you really want to ‘11pm this Friday’, right?” Then, everyone laughed cuz Eugene had been repeating it throughout the crazy conversation we had with him and his fellow committee member, Rafiq.
Teddy music: Bon Jovi – Say It Isn’t So
Rafiq’s a funny guy too. He was trying to be helpful by suggesting we RainMakers put a little movement into our singing since we’re kind of ‘rigid’. Yeah, we really need to work on that. He was doing this funny little swaying movement with his arms. Gosh, we were laughing until Jase had to re-pitch several times before we could actually start singing. It was even harder NOT to laugh during our songs when he and the rest of the guys (the ‘audience’) started doing funny swaying movements in an effort to get us ‘moving’.
Teddy music: Blue – Temptation
I remember this really crazy part of the conversation we had after the rehearsal at Mantissa. Jo suggested we go to Liquid after our performance at the prom nite. Then, several of us were like, “Why? Don’t want la…go somewhere else lar. Boring for us. We don’t really want to see guys making out with each other or girls doing that either.” Anrie was saying that it’s even worse to see a cute guy making out with another guy. She also said that it ‘hurts’ when you see a cute guy that you can’t ‘have’ since he’s already gay…unless he’s bisexual. We said that Rafiq and Eugene could go together and pretend they’re gay if they were approached by any guys at Liquid. We kidded around saying stuff like, “Yea, you could say that ‘I’m with Gene-Gene (Eugene). He’s my man!” Crazy hor?
Teddy music: Jay Chou – An Jing
Then, we started throwing around ideas of where else to go. Someone said “What about Emporium?” Then Rafiq said that he mostly sees 15 year old girls there who are ‘just learning to put on makeup and stuff’. He proceeded to tell us about how they would wear spaghetti strap tops with ‘granny bra straps’ showing. Yknow, the flesh-toned ones. Eww…what a fashion faux pas! They don’t even have the sense to wear the transparent straps! He then said that one should go and snap the bra straps from behind. *Snap* *Snap* Then, faster run away! He’s mad, I tell you! Wahaha. Then, I said that if Rafiq’s with Eugene, you could go and blame him (and get slapped by the girl as well) by saying, “Eugene! How could you do that?” before running away. Then, Eugene hammed it up by acting like he’d been slapped really hard in the face. Haha. We’re a nutty bunch of people.
Teddy music: Will Smith – Black Suits Comin’
After rehearsal, us RainMakers (except for Yenn who had to go home by 12.30pm) had lunch at KFC nearby in TTDI. Sitting opposite us was this incredibly annoying bunch of assholes. They were actually listening in on our conversation and making fun of us! Idiots, really? They couldn’t really see us because there was this partition thingy with plants that blocked their view of us. Can you believe it? One of those idiots actually had the gall to purposely walk over to our side just so they could see who we were? Whack those stupid people!! All of us were damn pissed off with them. Some of us wanted to show the finger to them but controlled ourselves. Some more, they weren’t even ‘cun’ guys to look at. They were UGLY! Yechhh!!
Teddy music: Matchbox Twenty – Back 2 Good
Later, Jase and I went to Sean’s place. I needed to do some work with him on a newsletter design. Jase just wanted to hang out there for a while. Poor gal! She ended up ‘hanging out’ there until 7pm cuz her car wouldn’t start when she wanted to leave about 3pm something. Had to call her dad and later AAM. Her car’s ‘tien pan’ (the electrical board for starting up the engine) was spoilt so the car had to be towed back to her home in Bangsar. She said she had a nice time riding in the tow truck and that the driver was friendly.
Seems that she always has some kind of problem with her car. Funny.
Teddy music: The Corrs – Rebel Heart
Oh well, my mom’s calling me again about my washed clothes. Better go hang them out fast!
