Post-exam bliss

Argh, I feel too angsty these days. I don't know why, really. Probably some internal thing.

Safra at Mount Faber has rain-showers at its swimming pool changing room/washroom! I am, however, severely put off by the cloudy waters with a visibility of about 8 metres, and the entrance gates that have never worked for us since our last visit a few weeks ago.

Anyway I've just checked my hotmail account—which is a very rare event—and discovered Andrea's email about motion researching and I'm like, Oh Gawd I Wish I'd Checked Earlier, but I'm suddenly overcome with a feeling of happiness and contentment knowing that there's finally debate training and I'm working with my favourite-est (to the point where grammatical and syntactic conventions are contravened) team in the world.

Then there's a free SSO concert tomorrow as well that was listed in last week's newspaper but is mysteriously missing in the esplanade calendar on its website. But I've managed to find it listed on the SSO website.

"Hear the SSO before the orchestra goes on tour in China this October! Featuring Yehudi Menuhin’s student and SSO violinist, Jin Li, the SSO will be playing Paganini’s Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major and Rachmoninov’s Symphony No. 2 in E minor. With such great music, the Rush Hour Concert promises to be a treat after a long day at school!"


Paganini and Rachmoninov. Sounds fun. I remember the morning when the entire school was engulfed in a sudden darkness that crawled through the parade square when a massive cumulonimbus hovered over Hougang. And to enhance the drama, those freaky warring-type melodramatic orchestral and choral pieces happened to be playing over the PA system as part of the music programme. Very War Of The Worlds.
