Band camp~
Weee~ Went for secondary school band camp yesterday. The great thing about it is that i slept at 2+ 3am the day before the camp and i woke up at 7am yesterday to go for the camp. Left secondary school at 12pm for my CATS lesson. Even though i took a cab down to school, i was still late for 10mins.. After CATS was SnW. We didn’t do much for SnW for it rained hard at around 1pm. After that, i went home and shower and stuff.
Went back to secondary school at around 8++ because of a traffic congestion due to a crash accident at a junction after mandai road. It was so~ cool to see a van with the 4 wheels off the ground. Btw, it’s 3 cars and a van crashing at an area. The front of the 3 cars was badly damaged. It’s like what you watched in shows, the hood flew off and you can literally see the engines of the cars. coool~
Alright, back to the camp. When i reached, they just finished their night trail and was preparing for the night movie. They watched “remember the titans” at the commerce room while chistina, tomimiiiiiii(can’t remember how many “i”s he had) and me were at the band room with the air con watching “stomp the yard”. Didn’t want to stay in school but after the movie, it was already 12 midnight. So we 3 decided to stay in school and sleep in the bunks. Didn’t really get a good sleep, waking up after a few minutes of sleep. Woke up at 5.30am and left the school. Wanted to sleep after i reached home. So guess what, after i bathed i was so awake that here i am blogging. wee~ Oh, now’s 7.25am and i have lesson at 10am. So, i gtg to prepare myself for the day. And don’t worry, i’m going to sentosa later to have more fun at the camp!!! I’m sooo~ going to die due to lack of sleep….
Now for the word of the day before i go.
