alas

life is filled with variable:
live with it and take chance up on its own game
take the plunge into uncertainty

Well i just did and got really, badly, owned.

15 december 2006. a day that will live in AJChoir history. the day we got owned. badly.

Originally this post was meant to be about the horror and fun of the SCO concert which AJChoir collaborated with for a buddist charity concerto. the songs are horrendous. difficult to learn, to enjoy , to reach, to SING.

But indeed. the concert ended at 11.10pm or so. about the time, busses and MRTs send out their last few fleets to anywhere.
AND the concert was in kallang, singapore indoor stadium. with like, two bus routes that come every 20 minutes. with thousands of people who turned up for the concert.

So yes. go to aggie's blog: she has links to practically every choir member's blog ; and hence there you will see the complete picture of the nightmare of getting home early in the morning. i'm too lazy.

What i did to get home.
step one. ask for lifts.
which i got 2 offers WHICH I TURNED DOWN. still kicking myself. sorry swee hao if i did not make it clear that i was not taking a lift. something in me that refuses to take lifts in private transport unless the situation is dire. how did i get this radical about the enviroment?

step 2. join any group that appears to be walking anywhere.
joined joey, long teng, chris, selene, loretta, and howard. in a walk to nowhere. We walked.
'loretta went bare-footed coz she didn't like either pair of her shoes'
and reached kallang MRT [kilometre away] at 11.50pm.
AND there was no more train to City hall.

step 3. search around for a bus to somewhere near your home.
howard and the gals found bus 51 and took it. we rushed to the other side of the bus interchange 'across a fourlane road and and car park' to see a sign saying bus 853 to ang mo kio. WHICH HAD ENDED ITS SERVICE FOR THE DAY. it was midnight.

step 4. have supper.
We had supper at an all-night muslim-indian coffee shop. nice prata. first time i had teh tarik . also first time i had hot food after midnight.
my life is sad.

step 5. hitch a lift on a friend's parent's vehicle.
Thanks Long Teng.

ever wondered why you do certain things? testing a new format for posting. see what comes out of it.
bye.
