Yesterday was quite OK, except for some last minute arrangements.
We came back from TAB at around 1 plus in the afternoon and was supposed to rest till 4. However, the others and I did not even have the time to rest. I was playing Contra (wah… oldies!!) with Melvin when the others said that everyone, including those who just came back, had to go to the games venue to be spectators! Reluctantly, we all walked over to the basketball court. The next thing was that we had to to sit at the 'grand stand'! Yeah, it was really grand, with the concrete sitting area as bright as the sun's rays, if that was what they meant about 'grand stand'… We all had a good tan, and had somehow enjoyed watching the games. Workshop played only one game and that was the only game that the unit got first in! Wow!! Workshop rules!
While watching the games, a call came in, saying that there would be a last-minute rehearsal for the parade on Saturday! We all couldn't do much about that…
After the games, we had (supposedly) a 1-hour break. But, at around 6pm, the PA system came on and a voice told us to proceed to the Specialist Mess immediately. Last minute thing again…
We ran there (RSM shouted at us, saying, 'ah you walk!'… we had no choice…). After listening to some speech and singing a birthday song, the buffet started. We all used our teamwork spirit: Bring various food back to the table and eat as a whole. That was what we did during the unit's anniversary dinner in January. Beer was free-flow. Drank some. And felt a bit hot( maybe due to the beer or due to the sun tan, or perhaps both!).
We got ourselves an early dismissal from the dinner in order to rest for this morning's event. Saw some drunk ducks around in the unit… I don't know why, but that might be the Singapore spirit: 'since it's free, why not?' Some people just could not, but they drank, in gulps instead of sips (why? Trying to get themselves drunk? Yeah they succeed…)
Rehearsal just now was alright. Dismissed from TAB at around 11.15 (really early). Bought McDonald's for lunch, and purchased that little The Dog cushion! Kawaii~!!
So many last-minute things… looks like I am used to them already! Always expect the worse to happen…
