ahhh, i woke up at 5.45 am to get ready for ANGELS IN THE PARK. but it was sooo worth it. the sunrise was fantastic!!!! couldn't resist it and took 2 pics thru the MRT window. must have looked like an idiot BUT who cares? i'd upload it, but i have no idea how to. the silouhettes of the stadium lights and transmission towers against a background of pink-rimmed, cotton wool clouds and a purplish, light blue sky..
in church, kelly was the only one there from our class. so we waited, and waited for the rest of them to come. before we went up to the piazza, everyone was collecting their balloons. so luckyyy.. i think the duckie, pig and cat were the cutest :)) then there were the dinosaurs, which looked like frogs when they were upside down, and the chickens! those were a waste of whatever one uses to make balloons. then kelly's junior came and gave her a coupon to redeem the balloon. FOR FREE! ehhh, generous, these younger people.. they make me feel old and miserly. so kelly got a duckie!!! i actually wanted a piggy- but so did everyone else. bah..
so everybody went up to the piazza, and they had this guy who came up and tried to make everyone warm up with him. chhehhh, only the ah peks and ah mas were doing the warmup.. everyone in our year was standing there and stoning:D
FINALLY! we set off! kelly dared me 50-measly-cents to run down the hill with the duck. it wasn't worth it but i just did it for the heck of it. i mean, how often do you get to run down a slope with a balloon duck on one side and 50-odd people on the other? so i raaannnnn.. and got shouted at by the poor guy who was trying to control the traffic and some idiot girl who ran out in the middle of the road with a balloon- eg. me. my parents should start paying more for my insurance. the life-threatening things i do...
so while kelly was going into hysterics laughing at my stupidity, she was smart enough to lose tessa, and so was i. so we, rosemarie and clare grouped up with the most familar face in front- Nicholas and friends..
they had TWO maps lah! and we didn't -well i actually- didnt figure it out till rose-marie pointed it out..and for no apparent reason, i had to ask for the second map. and they gave us the po-kok one lah! meanie poks.
so we were supposed to look for 2 golden angels and other 20cent coin sized ones. but i don't really think anyone cept gabriel was lookin. we made our way on the red path cos the guys din wanna take the green path. "its not challenging enough" they said..
after that, we made our way to the Pond Plaza. pretty uneventful until this woman came screaming that she got TWO golden angels. wah lao.. we couldn't even find ONE. chehhhh..
by the time we reached there, only the families with the little kids were left. guys started trying to skip stones. i think someone managed to.. me and kelly just threw stones and watched them go PLOP. then;
we walked back to church. past these fitness buffs or something, doing their exercise in one straight line to techno music. no lyrics- just" one! two! three!"in chinese or some dialect..and going "hah! hah! " macham brainwashed. brainwashed enough to do that in public anyway. the old man leading the exercise was so fit, i felt tired just watching him. says a lot bout my fitness, doesn't it?
then the guys started saying "hah!" in time to the music, embarrassing but funny:) then kelly dared me to run down the hill with her. this time the duck was tied to my bag. i think my mommy would have freaked out- straight into the busy main road we went. lucky i stopped before i touched the road. then we jaywalked like everyone else. and that was pretty much it!
yupp.
* i finished typing this FIVE days after the walk itself. parental guidance rocks.*
