Schedule

Possible pointless entry ahead.

Schedule:

5.15am Wake up
6am Waits for Roland or Damien's car at bus stop. Plaster my toes to prepare them for stuffing into shoes.
6.30am Reach airport, get pass for entrance
7.30am 1st show at Terminal 1 - Santa's Village (with its Santa statue that sometimes has a missing arm)
8.15am Finish 1st show. Pack and head to Terminal 2.
9am 2nd show at Terminal 2
9.45am Finish 2nd show at Terminal 2. Pack and return pass
10.30am Roland drops us off near our place on his way home and brings the handbells home.

From then on, either

a) Deal with ticketing/programme booklet for concert on 26th December until late afternoon, after which I get to have a nap (which is VERY lucky), or just plain late at night (or rather very early in the morning 2 am) before waking up at 5am again the next day,

OR

b)
11am Concert rehearsal at studio
1pm Rehearsal ends and start dealing with ticketing stuff or packing things for show later or resting for a while somewhere (usually at home)
3.30pm Head down to Esplanade for percussion show. Always good to be early.
4.45pm Report at Stage Door of Esplanade. Prepare things for show. Inside of Esplanade is a maze. Start doing rain dance in the hope that it'll rain and outdoor show will be canceled.
5.45pm Sound Check at the The Waterfront Canopy
6.15pm 1st show at the CourtYard - the area outside of Harry's Bar and Restaurant (some name or other)
6.45pm End 1st show. Head down to The WaterFront for 2nd show. Pray it rains.
7pm Start 2nd show. Community Drum Circle. Draining but fun; fun but draining. Either way, depending on mood and the number of hours slept the night before. Pray it rains.
7.30pm End 2nd show. Prays it rains for next show.
8.15pm Start 3rd show. Community Drum Circle. Some foreign worker tried asking for my number in the midst of inviting them to join us. Wah lao, why only foreigners interested in me! Pray it rains.
8.45pm End 3rd show. Might have 4th show at 9.15pm, if not, we pack up and Damien drops us off near our homes.

Reach home. Switch on computer. Watch one anime, falls asleep at the ending song. Sit on the bed, fell asleep sitting. Takes a bath, don't fall asleep while bathing. Lie down for a while, haven't brushed teeth... &#$%$... Fell asleep until next morning 5.15am when Kim gives me a wakeup call. Thank goodness for her wake up call, if not I will never be on time.

See why I always don't have time to blog. Today had time because only had airport show in the morning and ticketing stuff in the afternoon. Ignored my cousin and went for a nap at 4pm, only to be disturbed constantly by members calling to tell me they want to reserve tickets or something (I can't remember, I was sleeping!) and by the house phone ringing for my mother. Woke up 4 hours later for dinner.

Tomorrow is another one of those crazy days. Airport show in the morning, concert rehearsal in the afternoon and handbells show at Esplanade in the evening.

I wonder why I'm blogging about my schedule when I could have gotten 1/4 of the HK trip entry out in the amount of time I've taken to write this pointless entry.
