Saturday 20th May 2023
This morning, I woke up terribly early, because I had a wonderful thing going on. My school has an Art Performance, and our Regent and Deputy Regent is going to come JJJ!
Our teacher had already gave our ulos-skirts (the skirts we will be wearing), and we had to wear black-long-sleeved shirts.
We also had to wear ulos, which are “Batak” (that’s what the local people are called) scarves, but we wear it on our shoulder(s).
Mom put me on a chair, so she can put on my makeup. She actually bought face-powder and eyelashes!
She also did my hair, which was platted, and then finished it up with hairspray.
Then she went out to find a flower to hang on my hair. I love herJ!
At the end, it went fabulous! I looked really beautiful.
I quickly had breakfast, which were eggs (My fav sort of breakfast). We waited for Dad, who was taking a bath for and extremely long time (as usual).
While waiting, Mom quickly put on some lipstick, which went tricky, because my lips were thin (like hers).
Finally, Dad finished, then we took off.
I was upset, because Dad couldn’t be there. He had to work on his Visa Passport, for he was going to China tomorrow.
I complained a bit to Mom, because we left without putting on my ulos and skirt.
Giving up, Mom gave me my stuff, and I quickly put them on.
She also put more lipstick and face powder, because it was wearing off.
When it was time to get in, I was so excited. I saw my friends Callysta and Phoebe. I waved at them.
I then saw my friends Tysefoni and Tiara. We took our seats with the rest and waited for it to start.
Mom had to sit at the back, and I always took a peek at her every five minutes.
We watched my friend, Harel, who was singing (she has a lovely voice). She was doing a collaboration with grade four.
As she went down, she looked fabulous.
Classes went on and on, and I was starting to get bored.
Then, Mom came to sit next to me. She told me that it stinks at the back, so she came to get out of it.
I went to get ice cream, because I was bored out of my skull, and it was boiling hotL! Mom didn’t want one, so I took one for myself. It was a Taro Crispy ice cream, and it was only five-thousand rupiahs J J J. I quickly got back to my seat and ate ice cream. I was completed gobble-smacked when Mom asked me if she could take a bite.
Fifteen minutes later, lunch came. It was my favourite: Quality Fried Chicken (QFC) J J J! I gobbled it all up, and eventually, however, I got really full. I drank water, and then Mom added a touch of lipstick to finish.
Suddenly, the MC announced that class Five C (our class) was next!
I got nervous. Suddenly, I felt as if I had forgotten the moves L L L!
My friend, Christine, beckoned me and my friend, Abigail, to come with them backstage.
We had ten minutes more to get ready.
Our parents were taking pictures, while their kids stood there in a line, shaking and feeling nervous.
We were doing a “tor-tor” dance called: “Annakon Hi do Hamoraon di Au”, which was a nice song to dance to.
Finally, we went up on stage, and everyone loved us! We were given money and even our Headmistress loved us.
Of course, a day had ended, and we had finished our work there.
My performance went really well, and thanks to my friends too.
