the stories that happened yesterday
Today turned out to be quite an interesting day...
After a couple of hours of suffering from boredom and daydreaming in the afternoon,things sort of shot right up to a more interesting and eventful point.At around 3.30pm,I started to rush things at the last minute.I was supposed to meet Qiu Mei at 4.30pm at the bus stop near Temasek Poly(for your information,the concert is at Temasek Poly-_-)Hehe...=P Surprising thing was,I reached there before 4.30,oooo...I have the power to stop time.....LAME=P Met Qiu Mei. Told me that she noticed that almost all the people she saw walking by were dressed in traditional costumes(it's stated in the ticket that the dress code is traditional)At that time I noticed that both Qiu Mei and I were dressed like 'aunties' among the other 'supposed audience' who were dressed elegantly in their traditional costumes.We were like two dummies standing in the middle of the bus stop pondering over our attire when Wei Yin and Si Jie spotted us.Was convinced by their attire as they weren't wearing traditional costumes as well=)
Went into the lobby of the auditorium(air-con!ahhhhh~~~) Waited for 15mins before we were allowed in."Qiu Mei,why didnt you perform the roll-down-the-stairs trick before entering???"lol...Made a fool out of ourselve when choosing our seats.Qiu Mei and I went waaaaay to the front and Si Jie and Wei Yin was in the middle.Walked all the way up again and we kept switching seats and knocking the programmes on the arms-rest off!Qiu Mei and I were like total 'sua-kus'...hais....Waited for more than 15mins for the concert to actually start.Spent the time trying to figure out the malay words printed on the programmes and staring at the screen showing a 'family portrait' at the back of the stage.
Overall,the concert was quite nice and fun!It was funny,especially the parts where 'da-qiumei' and 'xiao-qiumei' starred in.
After the concert,there was light refreshments in the lobby.Wei Yin and Si Jie left while Qiu Mei and I decided to stay for the food.We were dead hungry!We were the only chinese there.Acted like 'sua-kus' again while 'kiap-ping' the durain and pandan tarts.Qiu Mei 'kiap-ed' the tarts till they sort of 'crushed' into bits.So violent!I 'kiap-ed' the tarts upside down and the lady queuing behind me was like looking at me with the weird expression=P
After that,Qiu Mei's parents 'tongpang-ed' me home.Yay them!Thank you so much!=) Reached home at 7+
Had a fun and culture-filled day...
Note to self...
