RIMB Concert!

It was pretty good on the whole (HEAR THAT PATRICK) and it was bang-for-the-buck because the admission ticket cost $5, which is considerably cheaper then the past concerts which ranged from $10 to $15.

The school auditorium was a well-chosen place, despite the fact that the stage was quite small and appeared rather cramped sometimes. The seats were rather comfortable, though :) In actual fact, I think more people (outsiders) than the RI students came to watch this performance, which is kind of sad because aren't we supposed to have this sort of Rafflesian Spirit? [cliche ends]

Haha! Patrick looked weird (in a professional manner) playing with all the formal clothes on him. Zuohao was there too! Along with Zeyang, Dexter, etc... (I've found out I have alot of RIMB friends or acquaintances, which I cannot spell properly)

Altogether, there were about 8-10 songs played [12-14 if you include the numerous ENCORES!] and despite the slightly shaky start, it was much better as it progressed. As YX pointed out, it was unconventional that at one point of a song, they started "la-la-ing" along to the tune, which was funny, yet effective.

I particularly liked the person playing the drums, because his timing was pretty good. There was this person who was playing the flutes, and he looked CONSTIPATED. Super funny. He was like all red in the face and looked "focused."

The SYF piece entitled "as the Ocean Glows(needs verification)" was not bad as well.

Towards the end, there were like people shouting ENCORE ENCORE! and then I think RI people joined in. It sounded pretty scripted. Hmmm.

Whatever it was, it just stretched the 5 bucks used. HEH.

Biology was much better-censored today. I'll keep a note NOT to sit next to Lin Sen or Wendi or any of the "mature" people whenever Biology lesson occurs.

A teacher was actually impressed by our class for once! Thanks, Mrs Ong.

During recess, we were playing cards halfway when Ms Chia walked in. We immediately panicked and Lionel and Patrick and Ervin deserted me. Patrick managed to "donate" his jacket to hide the cards on the floor that were BLATANT. I used my jacket and thanks to timing and on Ming Chan's part, we managed to conceal the cards for the entire English Period. Phew.
