After the four-day weekend (which I did absolutely nothing), I was thrust back into school. The pressing deadlines are coming and I have no clue how to deal with them.
With IAs and other shiz (like the EE) to do, I am sick and tired of Word.
Then, Thursday rolled around.
Thursday was the first day of SEA Forensics and I am a participant for Impromptu.
About Impromptu, for those who do not know, you get one-minute to prepare a speech that should take at least 4:00 minutes to 5:00 minutes.
Okay. So first day. I was scared to death. I didn't know what to do.
I was stuck in a bad mood because I slept fairly late the day before, finishing up that bloody EE. Furthermore, I was just tired. Sleeping late the days before really did not do well for my body.
So, during Impromptu, I was stuck in a room with a bunch of people, all of them are anxious and had butterflies in their stomachs. It made me more anxious as well. Then, people started talking about their fear and it just threw me off my game.
So, I went in and then I scanned the crowd.
It was 11:15 am at the time and I know everyone was busy getting lunch, but one guy came, that guy was Prawn. He gave me a smile of reassurance and I felt a bit calmer.
The word for Impromptu was "Vision" while the phrase was "There is no smoke without fire." I took the phrase first since I thought that no one else would have taken it.
It didn't fly so well for me.
The next day, I had an Impromptu Round 2 at 8:15 am. Again, I expected no one to come. Waited again in the room. Luckily, there was quiet and no one was being chatty.
I went in, slightly calmer.
The word was "Bubbles" and the phrase "The bad guy always win." Since the phrase was easier, I took bubbles. Luckily that played to my advantage because I was able to rank high in my room, (1st and 2nd). As I was looking at the crowd, I saw Prawn in the audience as well. Waddaya know? :) I decided to take a jab at his computer geekiness and talk about how I would choose laptops with a prettier appearance than one with power (in one of my points). He realized it and shook his head, trying hard not to laugh (as he told me later).
Then, in the afternoon, I was afraid of not making it into Semi-finals, but I got through.
So I had another round at 1:35 pm. It was not a quiet waiting time because it was at the hallways and people were being as noisy as heck.
Guess who showed up again? Prawn. Seriously, I am so lucky to have such a supporting boyfriend.
So the word was "Budgets" and the phrase "A flower blooms more than once."
I spoke about Austin in my last point of my speech. Then, I said I grew up with a better concept of love and I looked over at him when I said it.
Later that afternoon, I went with Marshmallow to Ampang Point and we tried to shop, tried, for a gift for her "friend" (eyebrows up and down, Groucho Marx style). In the end, we came out empty handed. On the plus side, I got to spend more time with her in person. :) So that was cool since we probably got slightly tanned from the super, hot sun.
I got the call from Jono that I made it to Finals. Super happy.
So the next morning, I performed in front of a bigger crowd, in the Theater, with a microphone, and stage lights just shining in my eyes. Terrifying.
I opened the envelop and the word was "Fusion" and the phrase "All's fair in love and war."
I did Fusion because I thought it would be the hardest word. Too bad I fumbled so badly.
I managed to place fourth out of sixth.
Prawn wasn't there to support me because he had a Malay field trip. It is similar to the one that Marshmallow and I took back in 10th grade. Good times.
During the morning, he miscalled 10 times and messaged me, but I, naturally, did not tug my phone around everywhere. So when I did take out my phone from my locker, I was surprised to see that I had all these calls from him.
I sms-ed him back, thinking that he would be busy with his trip.
Then, I was in the debate prep room with my other fellow friends.
I think I'll just classify them as MUN-ers, because they all are. They are the male MUN-ers and I felt like the outsider, the only girl there... It was fun, to hang out with the guys and feel like one of the guys.
Fun thing that Paul, Ahmed, Nat, and I did. We fraped Simon's wall. The beauty and I came up with the theme. I felt like it was such a win.
Terrible thing happened that day, I got into a tiny fight with Prawn.
I didn't do anything or I think I didn't.
Okay, so here's the details.
I was talking to him since he called in the middle of someone's Extempt speech (which I was happily watching). Then, I was just telling him about my Impromptu speech and how it went. He, on the other hand, was fishing in the hot sun, irritated that he hasn't caught any fish. Personally, I couldn't care less.
Then, he seemed irksome and I was just tired from speaking and irritated that he called during a speech. But I was still eager to talk to him. Then, he got mad at me for not picking up my phone. I explained to him that I put my phone in my locker because an hour before, I was with V and the gang and we were practicing. Then, I told him that while I was waiting, it would be better to not have any phones at all.
He started going a bit crazy from the heat and said that why should he bother calling? It was horrible. I ended up feeling super frustrated with him. I hung up.
Then, he called again. I asked Cait to pick up, since she was there. He hung up.
After awhile, I called him back since he sent a distressing text. While talking to him, I cried. I hate it when he does that. He makes me feel like I'm at fault and I felt like I was. I probably was at fault anyways... but I forgot how.
He realized that I was crying and said that he was being the melodramatic guy and it was the stress from everything.
We slightly made up, but I felt terrible after that. I didn't feel like talking to him after that.
So I hung out with the guys more and more, they made me forget a bit about him and his little Drama moment.
But no, I didn't even consider breaking up with him or losing interest for him because I still do love him. So, even though I was in a room with a couple of guys, I didn't think one bit, "What happens if KL said he likes me?" I didn't at all.
Then, I slowly forgave him. I still didn't feel like talking to him because when I do, I felt like I was walking along a minefield. One small step, and then an eruption. I guess I sort of date myself because I can be like that too, only with my parents.
So, I watched Debate with Pepe, Jish, and KL's team. OMG. It was amazing. I had so much fun watching it and how they ripped apart Disney's team and the other KTJ team. It was pure insanity. Since I sat with my MUN-ers, I also felt that I had to respond with the crowd and I sure did. I cheered and OMG and "Here, here" with them. It was fun.
I really hope to make IASAS now since I just love hanging with them. They are people that are just insanely different and it is such a joy to hang out with them at times. What surprised me the most was Paul. He is seriously amazing. I wished I knew him sooner. He is so easy going but a bit cocky. Gah, his girl is really lucky (if they happen, I probably think PROM. Let's hope and wait until then Marshmallow).
After the awards ceremony, which ended at 6pm, I waited another 1.5 hours until he came back from his Malay trip. I had to give up my victory dinner with the MUN-ers, but I told Nat, "I'm waiting for Prawn."
While waiting for him, I called him, according to him, 95 times. His phone died, how should I know? I think 75 times were subconscious calls because I only remembered 20 times. When he came, I was still afraid to talk to him, thinking that he'll be mad.
Nope.
Not at all.
I managed to see him and he congratulated me for being a Finalist. He even gave me a crown made of leaves (which he made during his trip).
That night. I did absolutely nothing. I slept.
Today, I'm screwed again because of the amount of homework that I had to do.
Marshmallow, do not read this if you don't want to change your view of Prawn
Then, I went on Facebook. In the box where it says people's latest activities, I was surprised to see....
"Prawn just read on Yahoo! "10 different types of kisses."
I wanted to erase that memory.
It was surprising.
I was a bit shocked. Hmm. I am very shocked.
I won't tell him. It'll be my little secret. Mwahaha.
I won't tell him. It'll be my little secret. Mwahaha.
