YEA all the major papers of the block test are finally over.
I can finally breathe now.
Seriously the past 2 weeks were crazy. All i did was cram information into my head. Sometimes i even wonder if i was thinking at all. It's like i'm in zombie mode.
But i'm just glad its over for now. Till next week i guess.
INCUBUS CONCERT!
This was the friday before the march hols.
It was a BLAST!!!
I was there doing an ushering job. Paid $8 an hour. Sweet Geez. Ka-ching!Which i have yet to collect from Cass.
Anyway there was quite drama that night with Xuan, Kim and Cass.
We were in charge of doing the tagging, which was actually quite tricky cuz you cant do it too tightly or loosely and worst of all we had to do it at lightning speed.
AT first the crowd came, all jolly and excited. But when the music started playing they were frustrated cuz they thought Incubus was playing. Actually, it was Saosin (a guest band).
There were many people smoking while waiting to get let in. I think i breathed in my year's supply of smoke just on that night. Most of them held the cigarette on their right hand which was the hand that we had to tag. Unfortunately, one lady's cigarette butt accidentally came into contact with my skin. Ahhhhh it was PAINNNN. I yelled a bit and she was like apologising profusly. Well, it wasn't her fault so i said nevermind. But it hurt quite badly and there was like a bubble on that area for a few days.
After tagging, Cass's sis( who was the person in charge btw) asked the 4 of us to do sercurity at the sides to prevent people from crashing in. We were brought to the side where it was totally dark and there were tree braches hanging. Looking back at it, it looks quite freaky. But at that time i was scared. Good on you ashley, finally getting over the fear of the dark .. in a way lah. I was stationed at the very end where the tentage stopped. There were 2 guys that were trying to get in. I shined my light from my hp at them then told them to go off. Actually i was really scared inside, cuz they had tatoos on their arms and looked like they were drinking. He said something which i totally didn understand but just kept shouting over the music to tell them to keep out. They finally went off.
After a while, those 2 guys tried coming again. But this time they were little smarter. They went in through kim's side where there was a gap in the tent. One of the guy ran in and Kim gave chase. I ran after kim but i didn see there were actually 2 other guys still under the tent. After i left they actually ran in and got lost among the crowd. Kim actually managed to catch the guy and brought him back to the side. She kept shoving and pushing the guy( who was the same one with the tatoo) to get him out. Kim's the MAN man. Some of the people that were watching the concert saw and were amazed taht a girl could catch a guy. Kim you rock man! Go touch rugger!
Cass and i kinda slacked off a bit and wanted to get autographs from the band. Then suddenly, Yingxuan shouted to us that ppl were getting it. I turned to look and there were like 2 guys running in. So i went after them. The floor was really slippery. Kim fell first, then i fell(so embarassing), then she got up and chase and then i went after them. But i couldn find the guy cuz there were so many people. Then, i say kim, once again, shoving this crazy guy that kept on shouring towards the stage with his rocker hand sign. Actually i find this image quite funny. When we went back, i found out from yingxuan that actually a group of 10 actually crashed in. But there's so many of them and so little of us. It's not possible to stop all of them.
After that we went to the entrance again, where we saw Cove, the lead singer from Saosin. There was so many people crowding around him. But we managed to get our picture taken.

It was an action packed night. WE had our tags signed by Saosin memebrs. Too bad we didn get to see Incubus face to face. And i heard my fav song Drive. I was so totally drained out that all i wanted to do was sleep in the next morning.But i had to go to Naval Base Primary for CIP.
Gawd i was so tired, but i had to drag my sleepy ass out of bed. The touch ruggers were deployed at the skipping rope station. Before the sports carnival began, we were all fooling around. Some of them were doing skipping. Shah and i wanted to try so we held hand, looked down intently and JUMPED! OUCH! our heads knocked together. OMG it hurts like shit. Its quite funny though, due to our difference in height, her baluku was at her forehead and mine was at the top of my head.
Then, we played some volleyball. It was quite fun, until out of nowhere xiaowei hit the ball right smacked at my face!! Luckily, it didn hurt much. That day was an unlucky day man.
The kids there wre kinda chubb, but their enthusiasm really striked me. They went round after round of stations and just kept going. Whereas we the station masters were already complaining about our lethargy.
After that, they had dance and cheer competition in the hall.There was this performance by the red house. The kids were really good i must say. 2 of the boys came out and did break dancing. Then the last one came our and kept shaking his butt while going in a circle. I just couldn help laughing at that. Then, there was this other boy who was standing next to the side that we were sitting. He was up for his performace but he kept pointing towards our side and did the sleeping gesture because there was a NY girl sleeping. He seems quite indignant about it, like he was not going to perform unless he got everyone's fullest attention.
