Something that took place in school
Interesting series of events happened in school yesterday and today. Well, on Friday, the school day went on fine.
The best thing of the day was probably the Home Economics period. We made Queen Cake. What's a Queen Cake? The queen cakes that we had made was very similar to a muffin or a cupcake. :) Probably because we could not bake a whole large cake to ourselves. And making the queen cake was a whole lot of fun!
With my cooking partner, Kevin, we received the ingredients and a small hand-held mixer and got to baking right away. We put on our aprons, bandanna and started to make the queen cakes. We used the mixer to mix the butter, eggs, flour, raisins and vanilla essence to make the cake mixture. Then we filled the paper cupcake cases with the cake mixture and baked them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
The 20 minutes flew by as Kevin and I ran around busily cleaning up the kitchen. Our home economics teacher is really sensitive about cleanliness so we had to make sure all was clean or else her trademark scream would come flying to us. When we took out the lovely smelling queen cakes, I was really glad that they were not burnt and the colour was up to perfection. And more to my delight, our teacher graded our queen cakes full marks! Wow right? xD I've nvr gotten a 5/5 before and I was super happy. How great was that. :) The queen cakes tasted of heaven (I'm not exaggerating. It was the best that I've eaten) and I knew why she had given the full marks.
Well, after the home economics, it was already 1.40pm and I had to go for my choir by 2pm. So with my awaiting friend Shawn, we raced down to the canteen for a quick lunch before running off to choir room. Its really torturing to sing on an empty stomach . :)
Well, I shall describe about what happened in choir now. On Friday after school, our conductor had come. He was really disappointed at our attendance that day. At most 3/5 of the choir had come. It was due to a change in our usual practice schedule as many seniors had lessons till late on Thursday. There was a tense atmosphere during the practice. However, as the practice went on, we made some improvements on our singing and he was happy about it. How great. :)
On Saturday, we had follow ups on our previous practice and practised singing all the way from start to the end. After each singing practice, I noticed most of my friends, including me, would be so tired after standing and singing for a few hours. I hope this will all be worthwhile when we manage to get a gold with honours for our SYF. :)
Well, time to go. :)
This is a lyric from a song called Beautiful Ending. ( Fitting :D isn't it)
....So tell me
What is our ending?
Will it be beautiful
So beautiful?....
What is our ending?
Will it be beautiful
So beautiful?....
