Saturday, I had Choir practice in the afternoon. There were not much members around. It was really nice for me to join the practice. I felt that my voice is recovering again. I sat next to a lady that have no idea what she is doing although she can really sing. The oroblem is that she doesn't count and sightsing properly. I noticed it after we were arranged to sing appart form our voices.
Kate was sitting opposite of me. She was making a lot of faces when she thinks something is wrong. She was trying to give signals to Michael the conducter. I can imagine how others feel when I do that. My natural mother makes really serious critics when I do that. Now I know what it is really like. I am not going to do that anymore.
I was invited to attend the choir performance in Christus church next to my area. It was ending till midnight and I ws thinking about how I could reach home so late at night. I didn't tell Kate about my arrangements back home. I refused Anna's offer to stay over at her house because I feel weird and uncomfortable if I do that. I told Kate before I went for the chor practice. She has really problems in managing her time. She wanted to leave 15 minutes before the practice ends but she didn't. Then when I told her about Anna's offer, she told me that it is better if I stayed overnight. So then I did. She asked me to tell her earlier about it. The problem is, I didn't want to do it earlier.
The performance was not up to my taste as I thought but it was still relatively good. Anna's father does music and she sings with her mom. They are one musical family. They are really nice. Not to mention how nice Anna is. They have a small grand piano and a cembalo in the living room. I saw a violin and two cellos. There is no television in her living room. I find that just so awesome. Even the walls in her house is filled with pictures and artworks done by her parents. I just think that it is unbelievable to know that family like this exists. I thought I could only read it in books. I feel really at home.
Sunday, I had to wake up early in the morning in order to be on time for Choir practice. I woke up early and her dad is the first person to be in the kitchen. 'suprisingly'. He dad prepares breakfast. He heats up the oven for the bread, boiled eggs, arranged the breakfast table. He is quite sociable too although a little irony but really fun. Then her mom and sister came by. They were really nice and the food they eat are really healthy. The most interesting part is that they discussed about musci on the breakfast table. I am totally excited, to be sure that I will not frightened them , I kept quiet. His dad drove me to the tram station and we talk quite a lot. I didn't regret that I have made a decision to stay over at her house. It was totally nice and interesting.
In the afternoon, I went home with Kate after the choir practise. We went home during the lunch break. On the way home, Kate told me that Claudia was not happy with her postponing the time of the America independance's day celebration. Claudia told her that she would have done a lot of things already. It was too much of me to ask her a question, but I already did it. I asked her , 'why didn't you tell them earlier?' She said that she totally forgot about the choir practice. She did not have enough time to prepare the food and she forgot that Yvy was going to another city to help her friend to move.
Then she asked me in return about the reason why I didn't tell her that I was going to stay over. The problem is that I don't even know that I will have to do that. Then she kept quiet. Anyhow, besides Kate being totally 'ruchy' and stressed out, the lunch was really good. It was really nice to have Norbert, Claudia , Yvy and Arlene to sit together to have lunch. We ate American food like hamburger, salad, fried onions, Potato salad and baked beans. She did it really well, she put brown sugar and onions. We ate cookies and cream ice cream with chocolate crisps topping as our dessert.
We had a nice time. :)
In the evening, We went to fetch Gong Joo and Jamie from the airport.
