Before I start on anything, I’d just like to quote Sheryl Tay on something she said some day. Some time during English. We were doing Ah Ba’s Money, something in our English Resource File, and were discussing mothers, because Ah Ba’s mother was a cheating scum.
Something about Supermoms came up on how she could hide her feeling so well and deal with Ah Ba’s father as well. Then Sheryl was heard saying: ‘That’s why ah, if you want to be a superhero, never ever be the telepathic or the telekinetic ones. They are always the weakest. See X-Men’s Jean Grey for example, she’s always going ‘Oh it’s too heavy and aaahhh this and eeekkk that…’
The whole class erupted with laughter at that.

On Saturday, I went to Gerard’s concert.
Part 1:
Reached Dhoby Ghaut MRT at 1.45pm, breaking all records of mudmeets. Couldn’t find anyone there and then finally had the bright idea to go to Plaza Singapura, where everyone was supposed to be and went down towards the MRT station again. Found Chuntsen, Bernice and Elbert who shot up a couple of inches from when I had last seen him.
Either that or he was always tall and the birthday chalet last year did nothing for my height and weight memory.
Chuntsen led me there via handphone after we spent a few minutes figuring out that I was at the wrong entrance. They were there, playing five stones which Bernice had brought. After I arrived, we spent a bit more time there, throwing Bernice’s stones everywhere, citing that day to be ‘Abuse Bernice’s Five Stones Day’.
We then left the MRT station and went to the X-Square and the other shop which provided lanning services or something… whatever. We just went to that area there. We were sitting down and about to continue play five stones when Ryan D appeared. Or had we already started playing the thing then Ryan D appeared…
Whatever.
The point is that, they were talking about some competition and something about how Ryan D wanted to join. Elbert was swearing upon his life that the would play DoA with Ryan D and reduce his ego. Bernice and I were saying that you don’t reduce egos; you poke them with a needle and watch them deflate very nicely.
Anyway, Elbert had to heed to his Call of Pride and disappeared into X-Square or something with Ryan D and proceeded to trash each other.
With a rather needless sigh, Bernice, Chuntsen and I sat down somewhere near the place and decided to play Five Stones.
I knew five stones had levels and such but I hadn’t been playing them for such a long time that I’m like kinda rusty. Hahah Chuntsen, with his big square, spade like hands obviously pwnzed me, while Bernice had a close tie or something. Either that or they both pwnzed me. Hahahah
I gave up and decided to watch them play; until Bernice asked me and I joined them.
After that, we had ‘Abuse Chuntsen’s Shoelaces Day’.
It was rather fun, started off with ABFSD, please look up, and then I decided to pull his shoelaces, seeing how nice and long and generally untied they were, and tugged at them.
Wa haha!!
They came of so easily! That started off ACSD, where we cornered Chuntsen, who let himself get cornered for some obscure reason and tormented him. He threw five stones to distract us, igniting Bernice’s anger more, which naturally spelt his doom. Pulled his shoelaces out, and then we had a truce where he put his shoelaces back. He poked at mine, wondered at their triple-knot knots and didn’t pull Bernice’s shoelaces.
That’s amazing. No one pulls Bernice’s shoelaces.
Everyone is probably too frightened to do so.
Then we started ACSD again, and then talked nonsense, until we realized that the time was about 4 plus and we had just wasted 2 hours doing nothing.
We decided to call Elbert out of his DoA daze, and just watched them for a while. When we came, Ryan D was trashing Elbert and when we left a few minutes later, Elbert came out, claiming that he had trashed Ryan D 25-24 or something like that, either that or a 24-21.
Doesn’t matter; we left Ryan D alone, who was probably still in the X-Square, concentrating his powers and plotting his next face off with Elbert who went around proclaiming that he pwnzed Ryan D.
We then played Bridge. Learnt a little of it during the cycling trip but was still a noob, how does one bid for No Trumps? Ryan D had come out with Elbert for a while and then went back…
Errr…
I can’t really remember here now because I know he was there with us for some time, he was behind CT, who was sitting opposite me, listening to his discman. He also disappeared for a while, and then came back… and stuff.
Can’t remember much already.
Thing is we played Bridge, where I had no agenda except getting through the game without getting pwnzed. Played stupidly, didn’t put out the cards I should, forgot bids (which is suicidal) and went for ‘Overkill’ as quoted by Elbert.
Chuntsen threw some piece of paper at me and I threw it back, and then we started Abuse Elbert’s Shoelaces Day, which were also nice and sport shoe like, thick and long. Bernice and I pulled his shoelaces out again, until he was totally freaking out and then we gave up on him, focusing more on the game while Ryan D appeared and disappeared at intervals.
Elbert couldn’t get my name right.
It’s Nellyn! Not Nelly! Or whatever sick twisted evil names you think of.
‘I thought everyone calls you Nelly.’
‘No only you.’
‘Oh.’
Ah yes. Adeline’s on the phone now, and I’m sick with a runny nose and a splitting headache and I can only move my fingers properly… my limbs can’t move waaaaaaa.
Yes now we continue.
So then we were like thinking, ‘cause I needed to buy flowers for Gerard and Bernice also felt that she should have bought him some flowers so we both decided to go to PS and look for flowers. Elbert, Chuntsen and Ryan D were talking about buying a bra for someone, I just don’t know who, it’s probably a guy anyway, yes and so they were looking for a bra.
Went to Marks and Spencers, the cheapest bras there were like $45 and they weren’t even padded and frilly enough. The guys saw us heading for the bra section to look for a bra for the birthday guy and backed off as a whole group, refusing to come near the bra section. They wandered around the toiletries section; looking for some perfumed stuff which made me sneeze, hate perfume and such… bah. And Stupid M and S.
Then Bernice and I then went to this lingerie shop called Ero. We found a $9.90 bra! The guys were outside, refusing to enter again, and Elbert refused to buy the bra! Awww!
We continued looking for a place to buy flowers and then on inspiration, went to Carrefour!
While walking towards Carrefour, Elbert, being Elbert was taunting Ryan D on the fact that he trashed Ryan D. Bernice and I were looking on and going ‘Awww’ about how they couldn’t get their hands off each other and such. Spent a few futile minutes looking for a florist but failed so decided on Carrefour.
Bernice was talking about losing the guys as they were so irritating and such and how we couldn’t stand their lovey-dovey ness as they tried to murder each other’s guts out… so we went to Carrefour and split up to look for flowers.
‘Shit!’
It was very amusing, to disappear and finally find some peace again without all the guys arguing behind us, Thank God, and looked for flowers in peace. Went to the basement as I couldn’t find the flowers on the first level, then asked around and found out that flowers were found in the first level and then went up again, saw Bernice and we brought the flowers and the guys were STILL lost even though we passed them several times grinning madly at them.
The guys gave up and went outside to wait for us as we brought the flowers.
Hahaha…
Bernice is a very violent girl. She slapped Elbert God knows how many times on his neck/cheek/anywhere on his autonomy she could get her hands on. Shall learn from you Bernice! Yay!
We then went to City Hall MRT where we met Allison, Gerard’s mom, Isaac, Xinrui who shot up, Nivek, Myst, QX, Karmen, and more people who I don’t know their names. Yes.
Allison tried to guess my name.
‘I know I know who you are… you’re umm…’
‘Nelly! Nelly!’
‘No it’s Nellyn…’
‘You’re Nellyn!’
She told me later that she thought I was a Christie. I look like a Christie or a Christine?
They also played five stones on Chuntsen’s big hands.
‘You keep digging your nails into my hands!’
‘The floor’s not supposed to complain you know.’
Allison had heels. She grew taller but still not tall enough. She saw the flowers we got Gerard and was shocked because she had forgotten to get flowers for him. We then went to Raffles City and had BK for dinner. Well, some had BK, others went to Subway.
By the time everyone was done with dinner, most of the girls had flowers already, having bought them from some nearby super-ex florist. Hahaha
Then the whole lot of us trouped off to VCH.
We were basically this very loose big group. Having not much of a clue where VCH is, we decided to follow this bunch of girls in front of us. Elbert was singing his Mountbatten High School song in Chinese, and he was holding up Bernice’s daisies in his hands like some baton. I can’t really remember the words but in English, it roughly translates to:
‘We are students from Mountbatten High; we know how to brush our hair, wear our school uniform correctly and keep our nails clean…’
I think it’s something like that. Karmen was talking about how DHS’ school song and TaoNan’s school song were uber-lame and how MGS’ school song sounded like a National Day Song.
Bernice had chuffed in her daisies into Chuntsen’s bag. Elbert took them out and waved them about while singing his Mountbatten High school song.
We reached the place and saw a huge amount of people milling about the entrance. Nivek gave us our tickets and we trouped up the stairs, actually we thundered, and disappeared into the Main Hall.

Part 2:
We were at the second floor where we could get this really nice view of everything, ie Gerard.
Walking around in the semi-darkness, hell no, bright lights, doesn’t do well for your psychomotor. I hate my legs hahaha I fell down at the second floor; I missed a stupid step and crumpled on the ground! This is so déjà vu, like during some church’s musical where I also crumpled down the stairs in bright light! Hahahahah I am such a loser.
Everyone panicked for a while y’know…
…
I am doing Geography essay now. This just came out of my twisted mind.
‘Part of the plan to encourage more children, the Five-Day week was implemented in 2005, for families to have more time to bond and for more couples to copulate!! Wa ahahahha!!!!! Working singles now had no excuse for working so damned hard and better go out and make friends or else.’
Digression!

This is six pages long! Congratulate me! I am mad!
Now for a nice earned break from my Geography essay. The concert was rather nice. There were plenty of songs I had no idea existed, and most in which I just hummed along and were easily forgettable.
There were three columns of people on the second floor. I was sitting at the first column, from the stage’s point of view, not that the stage has a point of view anyway, being hello, a stage… but! Whatever, so yes, sitting at the first column. I was right at the front with Myst and QX, who invariably had surround sound when he sat in between Myst and some other RI guy who was kind of like Myst, ie: knows his songs well, know who and what I am without me knowing who and what the hell he is.
I say, being Gerard’s girlfriends has several perks. You have complete strangers who go up to you and say, ‘Hey! You’re Gerard’s girlfriend!’ or at the entire end of the spectrum, complete idiots like Elbert who say, ‘Hey, did you know Nellyn is Gerard’s girlfriend?’ after meeting me at least twice, once during ets’ birthday chalet bash and Saturday, ie, today, ie, that day, and having the knowledge told to you during the birthday bash LAST YEAR and it finally registering in your head THIS YEAR.
Elbert is a complete genius who rubs out the line to stupidity.
Am I being too vicious here? Hell yes.
Anyway, the concert as I said was pretty nice. Sitting there was nice. Listening to the RI/RJC choir was nice- RJC choirgirls’ uniform is awful! - And seeing Gerard who did something funny to his hair is also nice.
Gerard said he couldn’t see me. So sad. Hahah. Anyway, he said he could see Allison who was waving madly at him. I smsed him that Myst and I were the only two people who placed flowers in front of them. He still couldn’t see us. Waaaaa….
Okay the concert was basically really really nice and everything but as with all Raffles stuff, they ended it with their… well what do you know, their school song!
The moment the song came on, the second floor just exploded with standing people. Myst and I were almost the only two people in our entire column that didn’t stand up to sing the Raffles school song. QX stood up while snapping away at his camera.
There was this bunch of juniors behind us, especially this idiotic junior Raffles boy who DAOED me when I told him to shut up after screeching his head off at the songs, and then he sang so bloody loud and so bloody high that my eardrums nearly burst. WTH!
Elbert said later that when he tried to stand up, everyone else pushed him down.
But, from another point of view, to the heart of those most patriotic, the sight of almost the entire VCH, standing up to sing the school song must be one of the most heartwarming sights of all time.
But at least tone down on the bloody volume, you idiotic brat who sat behind me!

Part 3:
After the gig, Allison was screaming her heart out, ‘GERARD!!!’ and stuff like that, hoping to get his attention. The entire choir then proceeded to walk off the stage. Allison then said to me, ‘Find him!’ I was like ‘What the hell?’ and then decided to just heck it and look for him.
I then just followed my instinct, ie, common sense, and found Gerard. Before that, saw Lian Sheng, mentally freaked out, cause I still remember him from China Trip, scary, evil looking guy, doooooooooooooommm reigns upon him!!!
Hahahahahaha
Saw Gerard. Gave him his flowers. He looks like he has a fan club from the way he received the flowers ^_^
Basically the end was when we went to supper. I was commending Bernice for being such a nice girl, waiting for her parents! :D
There was nothing much to say really, just that we went to BK, freaked people out there with our big group and then had fun. Then we all went home.

End! :D
