The second day of auditions was much more coordinated compared to the first day cos partly Olivia came to help in crowd control and she got to mingle and talk to the J1s, trying to promote Choir. She should really go into Business man!!
I really feel quite bad for not controlling myself during the auditions. Why can't I be like Charlie Brown, being so professional even though he's really laughing inside?
What happened was there was this J1 guy who came to our station for the audition.Before Charlie Brown proceeded with playing scales, he requested that Charlie Brown count "1,2,3" before he sang and so he did. I was controlling very badly. Maybe you don't understand why I'm so tickled but if you were there, you would understand my predicament. Anyways, after the first try, he counted BY HIMSELF on the subsequent tries. By then, I couldn't suppress it any longer so I pretended to be tired and rested my head on the table. Everything would have been fine if not for my prominent red forehead, which the poor guy happened to notice (according to Charlie Brown), which was an obvious evidence of my silent laughter. Charlie Brown remained professional and he quickly dismissed the guy. After that he was like "Bitch! Do you know I was trying so hard not to laugh and there you were, unable to control yourself while I'm suffering!" HAHAHAHAHA!
I thought that I would be able to control better after this unfortunate incident but the next one was worse. Due to the aftermath of the "1,2,3" guy, my mean, inner self was already at its weakest point.Any of such similar incidents would be met with the 'tinkling' sounds of my laughter again...and it really happened..sigh...
What happened was the next guy who came in was all ready for the audition. When he started to sing the next note, I burst in fits of laughter and I was SO embarrassed (but I think he felt worse!) and I immediately said: "the guy standing at the door very funny ah!" or something like that so that the poor auditionee can take comfort in knowing that I wasn't laughing at him. Charlie Brown was stunned. He was trying to pick up the pieces. Imagine him saying in his slow and gentle voice:
"Erm, don't care about her. She's gone mad. Let's just continue."
I still couldn't stop laughing. So, I ran to Ai Ping and continued my poor joke about the guy at the door. (To understand why it was such a poor,made-up joke, you have to know that there was no guy at the door!)
But besides these 2 incidents, all went well. We got to see Kim Wakerman in action at the audition on the first day. She was in Siti's OG and in her clique too. Ai Ping auditioned her (everything was planned just for Kim Wakerman: the position where she had to stand so that all of us could see her,especially Terry, the order in which the OGs were to come so that we wouldn't miss her,etc...) Also, I saw Fitari, my primary school classmate! It was such a pleasant surprise and I was quite shocked that he could remember me too =)
Anyways, these 2 days have been awesome. The feeling of everyone just bonding, going out for lunch together,making fun here and there, spending a long time at the exercise area doing balancing acts near Tampines Mart after lunch , playing ball in the Choir Room (Ssh!!) and those stupid Maggi Mee and Rugrats piano duets with multiple-accompaniment, I enjoyed myself tremendously!!!
That was why when we were told that there was no need for auditions for the Hook family of OGs, we were super disappointed....cos we spent the whole day in school going for lessons and taking tests,looking forward to it..hai~
Anyway, time to start studying...this year ain't gonna be a bed of roses...
