Citrawarna '10

| 30 May 2010 | 0 comments |
I know I’m probably the last person to blog about it but heck, better late than never right? =D

Let’s start from the top.


Bear with me for the first few 700 words or so…


Citrawarna is like this big event thingy they have every year it seems, for tourism purposes. This year my school was selected, how lucky are we?

I joined it cuz most of my classmates were. The Form 4s were compulsory to join it, and the other forms except Form 3 were welcomed. We had practices for 5 weeks starting from mid April which were held in the school hall and sometimes, basketball court.

Trainers for the event visited usThe steps were simple but heck, discipline memang teruk. Typical Samadians -.-‘ Kesian Abang Eddie the most wei! Well, at least we made it through… Oh, and we learnt Dikir Barat on the 4th week.

For us Form 5s who participated, we had to take our exams via school level instead cuz they takut soalan bocor to us and all. Imagine spending your Saturday doing Eng, BM and Mod Maths papers.. Ishhhh betul! LOL.

I dunno why, but the formation of the steps kept changing. Believe it or not, we learnt the new formation 2 days before the actual practice with other schools. On Friday they told us we’ve to change it. WhaaaaAaaAt?!? So they told us to stay back on Monday from 12.30 till 6 to learn it. Damnnn.

They needed 160 people, and we were divided into a few parts; dancers and props. For props, these people will have to hold frames, boxes, shopping bags, and all except the ones holding frames have to dance too, but not the complete dance.

We spent 3 days in PWTC, from 8 to 6 AND skipping school in the process.. Wheeeeeeee =D

There were a few themes; Borneo, Beaches, Food, etc. My school’s was Mega Sales. Woot. And double the luck, we were the center school while the schools performing beside us was Catholic High and Taman Medan. Cool eh? Right infront of VVIP.. Get to say high to the Agong! xP

We didn’t have any air-cond during our first 2 days there. Damnnn stuffy there, had to wipe off our sweat every minute. 3rd day it was on tho, why le? Cuz our dear minister of tourism was visiting, so surely got lah!! -.-‘

On the 3rd day, we got our Ts (its pink, mind you) which was multi coloured to indicate what theme you’re in. Of all colours, why pink eh? Size also only got Ms and XLs.. Sadly Mada and I got XL, and had to use pins to make it look fitting. Bob and Szi Wei couldn’t fit into theirs. Pak Ngah (the head of us dancing teams) designed it I think, cuz, well, printed on the right-most top is Pak Ngah production -.-
Next time I should design a T and add Maddie's production.. Sounds nice, no? Hehehehe.

Fyi: I dunno how many schools were performing, but I think there was 12 or more? Istana Budaya people were there too. Very nice le their dance!

On the day before the event, we had to rehearse in the actual venue, aka Dataran Merdeka. We spent about 5 hours putting on make up and tying our hair in school (boys had to put them on too!). Our teachers did this, cuz we’ve to have standard dos.

Our hairdo is supposed to look sleek and neat, so they used LOTS of gel and pins and hairbands, so guys had their hair in a 70s updo and us girls had it pulled back into plaits or ponytails. I swear, the amount gel used could kill.. Our hair was so stiff, it can act as spikes edi -.-

Took a photo in scouts den... I look so scary =O Ishaq look so....Ishaq? Bazil, Xin You and Tzen Ren look like 80s gentlemen, dunno what to comment about Mada... More girly? xD


When we arrived there, we kinda lepaked for 2 hours, had our dinner at 5.30 before we were called to get our costumes. COSTUMES. WHEEEEEEEEEEE. Everyone was excited to see how’d it look like. I mean, isn’t that the best part? =D

So us girl dancers got them first. Ooooo, it looked ok, ermmm but tights? Not so hot cuz of the colours but heck, it SHOULD look great.

WRongggggggg.

It looked so wronggggg. Seriously…

Imagine a tiger stripped black+purple top that’s triangular cut, big, with orange/red/blue/yellow tights.

There were a few lucky girls who got the zebra stripped top with BELTS which made it look better (tho like a bathrobe) but for us unlucky ones.. Yikes! Plus it was kinda low cut, so we had no choice but to wear our pink T inside and it outside. It looked horrendous..

The others attires were ok tho. Guys one looks nice! But some looked kinda gay abit la. But heck, its better than what we had =( Even Catholic had better version of ours.. Dammit.


Catholics!

We started rehearsing after that, first our Dikir Barat, then dancing. We actually had to dance at 3 venues so yea, gotta parade around. Actually not parade, more like walking and waving from one site to another.

Honestly, I kinda disliked this. Why? Cuz people were thirsty and whenever there was water around they would rush like wild animals and some so selfishly drank many rounds of water without thinking of others. Really… Kinda stupid la seeing this -.-‘

What else… We went back at 12.10. Also had a mini ‘lecture’ from Datin Ng Yen Yen. Hmmm… A car’s tire rolled over Bob’s foot (ouch…). Errr errr.. Oh ya, I got injured. Wanna know the story? Well, if you’re reading this then you have to cuz me gonna type it out nyways x]

So they told us to run cuz we were late to one of the sites. Bad lighting and all, packed with running people… And I fell. Kinda cool cuz I fell, half rolled, got up right away and kept running (takut kena run over by ppl ma). Its also somewhat cool that a girl fell right after I got up and Daniel also fell. All cuz of a piece of wood that was placed to keep multiple wires intact. ****!

Was kinda worried cuz there was a hole in my tights at my right knee. Had to stitch it up. Sigh. At first I thought I wasn’t badly hurt, just a small bruise on my knees and very small wounds on my hands. That was until….


IKAN! There was blood on my tights at my left knee. FISH. My right knee wound was 1cm under the hole, that’s why tak nampak. Argh. Funny tho that the left wound was worst and the lubang was on the right. Hmph. Big wound le… Looked gruesome. Thank God the wounds were balanced, aka wouldn’t affect my kneeling during dance. Phew…



My handphone's 3.2 pixel camera sucks, but i guarantee it was x2 worst than this photo..

Next day, actual event! Oh gosh the adrenaline. We were pumped, and its cuz we were allowed to accessorize, do whatever we want with our hair (no gel!) and ‘fix’ our tops with belts. We were in school since 11.30 doing our make up, yet again, and it ended at 4.20.. Aiks.

Our make up (girls) was more than the day before and it kinda made us look… more like Chow Kit material? Or maybe it only applies to me.. Boys had to wear eyeliner and lipstick and blush O.O Ishaq look so dollish in make up wei, esp with the lipstick! xD Daniel looked the same, foundation and eyeliner didn’t work on him -.-‘

*he's 'black' ma, what to do...anyone got bleach? *

Joking Dan!


Teacher putting on our make up


We went straight to our first dancing venue, which was nearby Sogo. We had our dinner and lepaked on the sidewalks from 5.40 till 8.00. At 8, we grouped up and got into our positions. 8.30 it started..



Poser! xD


Aaaw, they look so pretty! Tharini is beyond recognisation!


Posing before the dance started.

The no on my hand is to count how many participated in Dikir Barat =D

Too bad I lost it in the heat of the moment.. Ciplak! I mean the band holding the no, not me. Lols.

So came our turn to dance. Yeahh, it looked great until…

Damn.

Can’t see our numberings.

Just so you know, we were assigned to numbers so we would be in position at all times. But cuz the crowd was too forward, they covered it up and… Oh crap.

Ahhhhh! Nvm. Have to agak-agak, cuz music started jor.



Shau Yuan, Donovan, Ish.. Look so weird, but their dancing O.o

So first venue… DONE! But we screwed up our positions big time cuz it was too compact. Nvmmm. Next stop; Dataran Merdeka! The important place of all!!

We got there and…. BAM! With smiles plastered on our faces, we danced like we’ve never danced before. LOL. Of course ma, I mean there were cameras there to record our lovely faces on live tv…

Ee Leng, Ishaq was on TV!! Wooooooooooooot! Ishaq’s the best I heard, cuz he got the full screen to himself. Dammmmit. You should’ve seen his face when people told him that -.-

I dunno why we didn’t go to our 3rd venue, but anyways we went back to DM for our Dikir Barat, last performance and to partayyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Well, their version of party is dance to multiple traditional music.. So yea, we danced from 11 to 12. Tired sial but had to dance.


Dikir Barat~ FYI, an estimated 4k people participated (i think...cuz i found no 4***) and we broke the Malaysia book of records in DB. Yay?


Saying bye to the Agong~ Lookie our trainers! Both also wear black caps -.-

*Clueless people*


Tourists were also invited to dance with us, and there was this couple that danced with us the whole time. Damn sporting, and the girl danced really good! Haha! We took photos with tourists also, and of course, many rushed to where the camera was to appear on the big screen infront. A few Samadians were on the stage where artistes were singing too. Damnnnnn funny to see them there x]


Dunno what they doing here la..


Dance dance dance… Photos photos photos. Saw Aaron, Afiq there too. Pn Kokilam also went, and on Monday our HM said she went too via KTM. LOL! Really a? Damn cool wei. Haha!


Istana Budaya people! =) They look so colourful

Jacie! Where's your hot-gay guy??

Ee Leng had to go back early tho, sadly =/

So I was left to party with Bob and all. Very fun tho. Bob with his plant tail, seeing Pn Rema, Pn Usha, Pn Sarala, Pn Premala and En Khairul dance… Really nice =)


Fireworks!

And 2 guys who wanted to take a photo with me (crew members I think? I dunno..) which got me excited yet feeling embarrassed? Yea, long story but heck, that’s cool too xD


LOL! Womaniser~!


LOL wei. Look at Aaron!

Bus trip back to Samad.


In the end, what did I get from joining Citrawarna?

1) Got to meet new friends and got closer to a few people! Azim, Purani (my fellow screamer!), Bazil, Nuhan, Sree, Daniel, Tharini, Nabeela, Viki, Bob, Nicole, Joey, Chalystha, Li Sar, Jacie, Aravind and many more~

2) So proud to see Ee Leng dressed up girly (for her standards la)! I thought she’d bo song about everything but heck, good job gal! x]

3) Kept fit! Dancing is nice, never done it in a long time =D

4) Of course, skip school… Hehe.

5) Makan chicken everyday, so I guess it contributed to certain… Growth? If you get what I mean x]

6) The experience of everything… Thank you teachers, trainers, friends!


Yeah teachers! And Mr n Mrs Ong

Yay Citrawarna =)

I miss it already!


=)

Ikan!!

Today was fun, tho absolutely exhausting!

We did our finales and positioning, etc. There wasn’t any transport prob, and I had black pepper chicken for dinner!! xD

Actually I didn’t wanna blog, had no intention to, and am sooooooo freaking tired.

But but… Looking at these two personal messages I woke up instantly..

Imran : Hot guy single lah Maddie. For sure :D

Amirul Shakir : Hey Maddie. Told ya, ****** does have a thing for you. Ooooooo.

Like like, what the ikaaaaaan?

At least don’t add my name in there la… Swt…

Imran’s away, 98% sleeping for sure so I can’t ask him. But Bob… Booooooooooob! See what he wrote!

Amirul Shakir says:
hey hey but think of it as this way
if you date ***

''wah, our ATL dating gangster!’’

I’m effing tired. Just tired of everything.

My friends? Are great. Personal life aka family and intimately? SUCKS LIKE *************

Just very tired of family. Really. Instead of solving problems, matters are made worse with stupid immature decisions. Problems won’t go away by yelling and cursing and whatever crap you give it. So hard to find solutions ke?

Intimate stuff I malas think edi. I can be patient but patience has its limits. So if it doesn’t work out, then nvm la. Move on. I can’t stay around waiting for eternity for anyone anywhere anytime.

Maybe cuz I’m just tired from today, but…..

Screw la. Suddenly I’m in a foul mood.

Sigh.

I’m sorry =(

PINK!

Very tired le..

Danced since 12.40 to 6. 4 hours spent under the sun and the whole time practicing.

Tomorrow we’re going to PWTC to dance with the other schools. Takut wei. I mean, almost everything can go wrong. Seriously!
Teacher's Day celebration... I missed it =( Had to take exams. I got to enjoy class party tho, but feeling guilty I can't help with cleaning up =(

And worst of all…

I’m…

I’m…….

Sunburnt!!

Fish wei.

No wonder I felt hot. I mean, I’m burning tho the weather is ok tonight -.-

Drank 2.3 litres of water edi. Still feeling warm all over.

And what the tooooooooooooooooot, my mum had to tell me only I realized my face, my upper arm, is PINK. PINKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. Gasp to the horror.

This had better be my last time to get hangus wei… Haih.

Also, some jealously problem is going on right now. Hmmmm. Guess I can understand the feeling since I easily feel jealous..

Especially if its someone important >.<>

Turmoil

Exams have started for me since I’m involved in Citrawarna. Maths and BM2 today…. Maths confirmed FAIL. Not like I studied hard… =X

I admit slacking lots, but heck, we didn’t even know there was test and what paper until Tues/Wednesday. Dammit wei.

Exams tomorrow also… Haih. Monday also… Haih. Then next week rehearse from early morn to 7pm-ish? Time also not confirmed -.-‘


Not done with lotsa scout stuff also.. Fissssssh!!! Aaaaah.

Today the practice ended late, and kesian betul those who didn’t come can’t get good positions. Mada came but had to ciao early oso kena rampas her position. Dammmmn.

Tired but alive. Everything’s actually fine except I need to STUDY. I really hate studying maths and physics wei.

SCREW THAT~~~

On the bright sideeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =D

Chat like mad with Imran, Mada, and Bob nowadays. Best part about this week was seeing ‘hot guy’ 7 times yesterday… WHOA xDxD

Joking~ x]

Actually, walking back with Imran and Bob is the best la. I mean, 3 teenagers walking in the evening chatting random stuff; horny, coffee bean, vanilla, horny, hot guy, dance, horny, how each one of us balik, exam stress, Imran tak pakai kasut properly…. Yea.

Its so nice to be a teenager, especially in times like this =D
Appreciate your friends, no? They're special!
Hahahahaha!

Feelings are kinda in turmoil now. I really do fall too hard over someone, also getting out fast too. But heck, the feeling is really strong now. I’m getting outta control!

Feeling guilty over it too, and clueless on what to do.

But I’ve a feeling it won’t work out anyways, so heck~

Single life = Carefree
=/

A chance of a lifetime

I’m very excited.

Very very excited.

Its better than seeing the hot guy today.

Its better than finally getting the hang of Dikir Barat.

Its.. Its…

Tadah~~~!

Yeap that’s right.

I’ve been waiting for this since end last year, eversince my parents told me about my edufunds.

And since I can’t get scholarships via results…

:D

But it ain’t gonna be easy. There’s 2 rounds in this; mail-in artwork and on-the-spot artwork. So if I do get something, it’d be announced on 31st July (same date as on the spot competition).

Prizes not bad wad. I doubt I boleh dapat the high ones, so 10 Young Achievers or 30 Encouragement Prizes ain’t bad. Still can get some money =)

That is, if I DO get selected in either rounds…

Now I’m anxious/scared/worried O.o

Oh what the heck.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

100th Post!

It is that, but nothing to celebrate about… Haih.

If anyone saw my last 2 statuses in facebook, I’m clearly an emo eh? Not really, I’m actually quite happy go lucky until such unfortunates happen.

I’m actually feeling guilty staying back from Tues to Thurs. I mean, I can’t be at home to cook rite? End up she eats meager biscuits or VERY simple soup.

Now someone’s home as well, at least she’s able to eat. But nooo… Gila tension. Can feel it at the dinner table, can feel it anywhere.

Here I am, finally doing schoolwork and probably in the mood to study, stupid things happen.

Damn geram wei.

I’ll be fine within 30 mins or an hour, but takkan everyday like this right?
