Rehersal/Practice, NIKKI, and Voyage of the Dawn Treader :)

You may be thinking, why such a long title with so many subjects????? :) Reason is, I'm too lazy to blog each subject separately so why not just combine it into one post? :) Bear with me... :)

First, Kor Wee Lern fetch me for my practice in CDPC Subang, and also back home... rather, he offered.. :)

Ok anyway, so Nikki suggested we eat lunch together, so I arrived there at about 12:05pm??? :) Nikki and I were texting the whole time between 11:40pm till we saw each other... :P She had to go back home first from her church so by the time she arrived it was about 12: 15 like that... ;)

And then we ended up putting our instruments up at church first....it was kinda of weird walking in with my big cello while the sermon was still on... :P It was really weird, everybody staring because the door is like RIGHT THERE...I mean, once you are at the door, like so many people can see you... :P

Anyway the youths were at the back there and Michi and Swen didn't expect to see me and were surprised... :) It was good to see them again... but didn't get to hang out with them because there just wasn't any time.. :(

So we put our instruments in Alicia's office and cabut to lunch...we really didn't know what to eat, we spent like almost 5 mins just like looking at the whole row of shops to see what to eat... :P In the end we decided to try out some Why Mee? Restaurant that was just opposite the church. (I'm pretty sure there was a question mark after the "why mee". I kinda of like the name, it's cool.)

Both of us ordered the same thing. Wan Tan Mee. It was ok.. :) As both of us said, edible.. :)  hahaha, I sound so ungrateful, but it was ok la... :) I ordered lime juice and it was quite sour!!!!!! :) Funny thing is, both of us have this habit that we only drink after we finish eating!!!!! :) And, both of us were so full we could barely finish our drinks...it was such a big glass!!!!!!!! :)

Oh wow, were we full after that!!!!!!! We kept saying, "ahhh, so full..." "ahhhhh, so full..." lols... :D

Sine practice starts at 1pm, we timed ourselves to finish lunch by 1... actually we should have gone back earlier to tune up and unpack but we were talking and eating so slowly that we lost track of time!!!! hahahaa but we left the shop at 1 la.. ;) And I just realized that it's been coming soon to TWO YEARS since I last saw Nikki!!!!!!!!!! Soooooo long ago!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

Went back, unpacked, tuned up, and then started practice... :) Nikki, Aunty Eileen and I practically did sight reading... we barely looked at the score beforehand...I guess we were all too lazy or busy... :DDD

I must say, it was pretty good for a first rehersal! The 2nd song was the worst, because the timing is so weird.....we spent a lot of time on the 2nd song... :PPP

And then, sometimes Nikki forgets to come in because she was dreaming, and then  I will be blur sometimes, then Aunty Eileen also blur sometimes... hahahahahaa it was really really funny... :DDDD

To sum it up, it was quite a good practice... :) Next one is in 2 weeks time.. :)

So, after Kor Wee Lern dropped me back home, jie and I watched VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER.... I know, so late right????? But we only just recently bought the VCD and FINALLY we watched it today.. :)

One thing I like about the book is that, it doesn't really have war in it? I mean, there may be some fighting like for example with the SEA SERPENT, but there isn't any real war in the book...and neither is there in the movie... I guess it's because I just hate violence? That's why I like Voyage of the Dawn Treader.. :)

But I'm so disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!! Some people said that among all the Chronicles of Narnia movies that have come out, Voyage of the Dawn Treader is one movie that they followed mostly like the book!

BUT THAT IS SO NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's like they switch so many events around, and everything is like so different!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course theres resemblance but it's so really different... :(

I still think The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe is more like the book rather than the Voyage of the Dawn Treader... :) That's my opinion. :)

Ok, so I'm done with this post, and I realized it's such a long post! :P

It was a great day,
