Baby Blue Paper Bag

Yeserday's Drama Night 2008 ended so much earlier than scheduled. Really, they should have a better organizer. Sec 4 farewell ended 1 hour later than scheduled...

Drama Night was supposed to end at 22:00, but it turned out that all was over by just 20:30. That's seriously pathetic...

And I don't understand how the judges actually judge! I really do not support 102 winning only 3rd place! I had high hopes for that class! Everyone was in the same bandwagon too!

We were all expecting it to get at least a 2nd, but the judges apparently have very different mindsets from us, giving 2nd placing to 101, which I didn't really find interesting.

On the contrary, (this might sound a little insulting) I found it pretty boring and unorganized, not that my class was any better, but 102 was much better!

Both in terms of script and performance.

Anyway, I was drawing a guy (supposed to be gothic) in my notebook, but the lights dimmed halfway through to indicate the start of the event so I had to halt all processes.

Wow. I sound like a mechanic.

It was settled that my father would fetch me from the bus stop at 22:00, but since it ended early, I asked him to pick me up at 21:00.

Since we were told that the booklist for next year is in class, Rachel and I went to get a copy for ourselves even though it seemed like ghosts (which do not exist, which do not exist, which do no-ARGH!) would pop up anytime.

He came much earlier than expected and ended up blocking bus 190, but I chionged into the car and he drove off before the bus crashed into us.

Since I haven't yet taken my dinner, he brought me to a coffee shop in Bishan and I ate mince meat noodles. Although I asked for no chilli, the guy filled it with just that...

I got home by 21:30, and bathed as soon as I arrived.

Today was the last day of school. We had our class party, whereby there was surprisingly little food.

The Ferrero Rocher I brought was a huge success! I had to scramble to save 3 for my siblings and I.

I think I drank a bit too much soft drink, and now I still gassy (can you imagine how long the effects are?).

AY came over for a bit, but we didn't get to talk much...

*sad*

After the class party, we took turns to write down good comments for each of our friends and enemies and classmates.

Of course, if it were for enemies, I wouldn't state the personality but more of their talents or preferences, that way, it wouldn't harm anybody, right?

I really didn't like it when all the comments I got were about my drawings (except for Moira's, which is what made it my favourite, oh, and Aru wrote about Linkin Park =D).

I mean, I am glad that people like my drawings, but the fact that the only thing they see about me is that so-called 'talent' makes me feel a little useless.

Like, what if my 'talent' is gone? Would anybody still be my friend? It's like, come on! Nobody actually sees me for who I am.

They only notice the superficial 'talent' that supposedly masks everything else about me, and maybe a few people manage a glimpse of the me beneath the facade.

But that's it.

So basically what they're trying to tell me is that, "I'm friendly with you because you draw well. If your 'talent' is lost, you are of no use to me and I'll throw you out the window."

Probably the only people that don't care about my drawings are Rachel and Moira. Everyone else just recognizes me as 'Resident Artist' but not 'Rachelle' or 'Ferrero'.

It irks me. It's like I'm me cuz' I can draw.

Man, it's really hard to actually pen these down in words, so I'll just leave it here.

My overall GPA actually improved, so I'm pretty happy, though my chinese dropped...

I cleared my locker in the morning and actually intended to take the bus and later on walk with two bags of files, papers, textbooks and other miscellaneous stuff that I decided to take home.

Thankfully, Rachel's mom was on her way to fetch her dad, so I managed to hitch a ride as my house is near her dad's office.

It saved me so much pain and effort, and for this, I really have to thank God.

This is not luck. It is called 'Divine Arrangement'. XD

Anyway, other than those stated, my days were boring.
