::: hyperxi's account!:::
Not as long or as self-indulgent as Joe's post, or as detailed as Huixiang's. But it may be more objective. "LU BIAN YI GE RONG SHU XIA!". Ok fine, maybe not.
Friday. Really fun day. Not the lessons, but what happened after the lessons. There was choir as usual, but then I had some free time after lessons. So some of our class was just hanging out at the canteen with Clarence, Dexin, Calvin, Joe and Weilong. The girls were at some other table. We still sit separately sometimes. Why? I think it's the girls that don't want to sit with us, if you ask me. Hm...
Anyway, Joanne needed some people to help her move some things from the harmoc room to LT3. That's when it all started. Untill now I still don't know why all of us volunteered to help. I don't regret it though. One helluva fun time man!
So the whole lot of us, calvin joe weilong clarence, dexin, li-en wangye yiwen liting and I went all the way up to the fourth floor, near the library. Hm... I didn't realise that small little room was the harmoc room. So pathetic. Anyway most of us went into the small little room after joanne opened it for us. I remember feeling a little apprehensive. Claustrophobic? Not really. Maybe I just had a premonition of what was to come!
It was so fun in the harmoc room! We played with all sorts of things- the drum sets, the cymbals, the portable fan. Then Clarence started singing, as usual. "LU BIAN YI GE.... RONG SHU XIA! (路边一个....榕树下!)" After while I decided to join him. "LU BIAN YI GE... RONG SHU XIA!" Then Dexin tried to join in, but he couldn't really sing in that kind of voice I guess. haha. Or maybe he just wasn't crazy enough. Yet.
I didn't really pay attention to what was happening around me. Too engrossed "singing" into the fan! Oh yeah. I didn't even hear the banging of the door. Then the next thing I knew, someone was saying the door was stuck! Woah. I wasn't worried at all though. "LU BIAN YI GE... RONG SHU XIA!" lol. It didn't really sink in until some people started panicking. Namely Joanne. Haha. Only then did I realise that we really were stuck! The door couldn't open. Apparently Calvin and Joe (on the outside) had tried to open it the wrong way or something, and deformed the latch and the frame of the door! But tried to open it. Couldn't. Oh well. "LU BIAN YI GE.... RONG SHU XIA!"
Joe decided to go get a screwdriver, and then they started trying to unscrew something ( which I later found out was the latch of the door). I dunno... I still didn't feel that worried. Just continued- "LU BIAN YI GE.... RONG SHU XIA!". I guess I didn't understand the gravity of what had happened. It took joanne's (almost) breaking down to make me stop singing. haha. Later we found out that she wasn't gonna cry, just 哭笑不得. So I stopped my singing. And tried to contribute to getting the door open. Tried is the key word man. The whole ordeal took only half and hour though. They got the latch unscrewed in quite a short while (Joe's a lousy, erm unscrew-er). I was getting impatient towards the end. But yeah I just ate, so I wasn't really afraid of dying of hunger. I just didn't wanna go for choir late!
I was the first to go out when they got the door open. Truth be told, the air didn't smell any fresher at all actually. And I wasn't all that glad to be out. No more "LU BIAN YI GE RONG SHU XIA!" Aww. I sang a bit in the stair well while carrying the equipment to LT3 though. haha. Anyway like I said- one helluva experience! And I'm sure we all came out for the better from it. Right? Stress management. Lol.
EDIT: I found the lyrics! Yay now I can sing almost the whole song (dunno the rest of the tune). And it's 路边一棵, not 路边一个. Whoops.
