Choral Speaking Nationals in Melaka
Finally after a long wait, I have successfully posted this post. At least, I will have when you guys read it. Right now I'm still in construction. 78 photos peeps!

I must say the Melaka and Negeri Sembilan choral speakers are really nice. Melaka offered us cake and Negeri Sembilan cheered for us. We were friendly and gracious and what I would call Najib's dream for a One Malaysia starting at secondary school level.

We were there at the airport and eating ice cream in our hideous grotesque track pants. SOme people had others there to send them off. We were also damn sakai especially me and I took photos of everything including toilets and scanners. I have spared you the agony of looking at those mundane photos and long loading time by not including them. DAMN my Facebook upload failed again.

First off..me being vain.

Food

We arrived at the LCCT and started moaning about flying Air Asia although we had had food. Well, we wanted KLIA!!! WE waited for eons for the bags to arrive and it was pretty hot there so we got vain. It was horrible. Pictures NOT here.


Our bags


I don't know where


We boarded the bus after taking various photos with Mr Teo and Miss Susie and Mdm E(who had a frighteningly overweight luggage; Miss Susie says it happens all the time).

I feel that this is going to be another long boring photolog so if you want to step out of 10 minutes of boredom, please oblige yourselves. It's late night and I am fucking tired and feeling damn emo so please excuse me for being rude but still you could just take yourself out of this blog which catalogues my miserable existence and swoop down to the pits of hell. It's just a suggestion.

Anyway, as long drawn out uploading is obviously not doing anything for my temper, let me resume my long drawn out photoblog.

After that, we arrived at the resort, which sucks. It' s affordable and I should be grateful but let me be bitchy and whiny (because I can) and say that I don't care, I don't like it, it takes me 2o minutes just to reach my room, which is as small as a closet, with chewing gum and lizard shit on the walls and a faulty bathroom and smelly body gel. The toilet doesn't flush, the closet has no floor and the hangers are weird. The bedspread is itchy, the air-conditioning is super hot and the door knobs and latches are all falling apart. I only liked that there were 3 windows, a ledge, a TV, a phone and matching curtains. Still, it was fun staying with friends. Not exactly the Ritz, but it's bearable when with friends. I roomed with Shelly, Stephanie Soon and Rachel Lee. I crashed Janine and Kiki whenever I felt like it though. I prank called almost everyone including Mr Teo (albeit accidentally).

Practice at the park


We ate like mad

That night was rehearsal and it sucked because I am a huge stupid crazy freak who screwed up EVERYTHING in front of the freaking whole country and cried my eyes out and deserved to get a punch in the face just for the heck of it.

Anyway, photos.


I me myself


Lalalala

I'm too lazy to caption. Anyways, after a pep talk we went back and each of us practiced in our rooms those last minute changes that had been made. We slept early and I woke at 6.30 with virtually no time for anything. I got my hair done last after waiting forever. Safe to say I did not enjoy Melaka very much for the first two days.

Eating like hungry dog after competition


CUTE!!


How grand..for a Dato'


Negeri Sembilan


We got third. It is still crushing for me. I feel that I could have done better, we could have done better. I live life full of regrets and I that's what i feel now. I don't care that we beat 13 other schools, I don't care that we tried our best and all, I still feel like a failure.

NS were very friendly! "We say SARAWAK, you say ROCK, Sarawak ROCKS, Sarawak ROCKS!"

Better than those other undisciplined pigs making lots of noise in the hall despite our constant shushing. We were very quiet and tired. Our turn was at 11.

At night we went out. The next person who asked me "Are you wearing pants?" was viciously murdered. The huge shirt was like a minidress. I got lost in the mall. I was making a pendant for souvenirs and it was closing time and I got panicked and a couple helped me out before Miss Susie found me and saved me. I wouldn't let her hang up. I don't know how people can remember directions!


Pretty


Minidress


I bought a shirt and spent about 50 bucks


Packing!


We swam! Did you know Mr Teo is a licensed lifeguard? And he does have a tattoo?? Yes we were in the pool with him. Very disturbing. Next time I see him patrolling in school I will remember him teaching us how to swim.


The next day we went out to the historical streets and tourist trap stalls in Melaka. It is clean and the people are friendly, I like it.

Leaving the resort


Me and Nadia

Stalls!


Souvenirs!


Melaka people are so nice. I bougth a set of clothes for Wayne and the guy gave me a lower price just like that. Then he pressed a keychain in my hand and said "You from Sarawak? Take this, remember Melaka forever."

How sweet. A random act of kindness.

NS sweethearts


Us!!


Weird grocery store


Bus!
We reached Nilai. It was a ghost town. It rained and the wind howled like mad. It was freezing and the people looked like they would disappear. The shops were mainly closed and there was no sign of life. The toilets had no water and had maggots. The roof splintered onto several places. it was creepy.

Me and Shelly got lost. We found bargains here and couldn't get back to the bus. All the teachers were on the lookout for us. We received tons of calls (how touching). Mr Teo saved us. Miss Susie gained white hair. We were super apologetic.

Creepy...

SHOPPING!!

Me and Steph at Kuching Airport!


It was a great experience, and boy it was hard posting this!!

After I got home I packed for Australia till 1.30. I woke at 3.45 and headed to Kuching Airport for the same tedious process. My flight to Australia was at 6.oo am.

That will be soon. Another long long torture.

The end of STS Choral Speaking Team 2009! We made it far. We ROCK and we've got GIRL POWERR!!
