Symbolic Move. riiight.

SAJC has officially moved to Potong Pasir. The campus is so pretty but the band room basically sucks. It's small and has bloody mirrors on one side! Like WTH. We don't need to see ourselves play, for crying out loud. We're not ballerinas! We were saying maybe the builders thought it was the Dance Studio (which apparently according to Angeline is half its original size) and realised their mistake too late =) anyway you get the point. It's just terrible.

Arranged to meet Rochelle at 10am so we would have plenty of time to get to SAJC but guess what time she came? Not 10.15, not even 10.30 but TEN-FIFTY! I, the queen of lateness, was actually punctual! I ran for my bus! She owes me a drink but I let her off the hook cos she and Angeline kindly waited for me for my bus. It wasn't any use reaching so early though cos when we got there the runner still hadn't reached yet and we had to wait a while longer. Watched the band play. It was sweltering, dunno how they tolerated the heat. Rochelle and I hurried back to the shade after about 20 mins in the sun. Socialised with the rest of the bandies while purposely ignoring the various speeches esp by She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named-out-of-fear-that-they-will-sue-me-for-defamation/slander/whatever unknown reasons. Can you imagine Lord Voldemort having such a long title? After the ceremony (which wasn't as glam as I thought it'd be) I went to see the band room and to eat tauhui with Munchkin, Angeline, Roch and Christabel. Then rode 985, which took eons and eons to come, to Accent to buy reeds cos I can't play with Zonda and the whole band's using that now. 2 reeds cost me 10 bucks! My pocket hurts.

Sat on 61 to go home. That took me about 2 hours. Watched TV and slept. Ah sleep is goooood.

Actually I'm just hiding my jealousy with all the complaints. I'm so envious of the students who get to go to the new school. I think having all the St Andrew's schools in one area is COOL. I just love the feeling of togetherness. And don't forget the swimming pool!! I should have been born 2 years later. Oh but there is one thing our old pink school has that the new school doesn't: AIR CON! I don't think they had enough money to install air cons in the spanking new classrooms. Hah. Maybe life isn't so unfair after all.
