This weekend was awesome!
Now let me tell you all about it. Every now and then I give singing lessons at my old musical club/association thingy. I teach children between the ages of 12 and 16. Saturday morning I got there at 10.00. And I just love to be there. These children are so happy to be there and some still know me from when I went there. So it was all just lovey dovey stuff.
One of the girls, she must be about 12 years old, auditioned for the musical Annie and she got through the first round. She came up to me for some extra help on how to reach and sustain a certain note she had to sing. So I helped her and she was so grateful for that! Thankfully my advice actually worked, so it made me all happy too! :)
Ok, enough with the children. You get the point, the're lovely.
That afternoon I went to Amsterdam with my best friend for some birthday presents and sushi. She got me two totally awesome and wicked sunglasses and a hat. And I've been wanting a hat like that for ages! Best present ever, but what else could you expect from your bff? After that we had to kill some time before we could go eat sushi, since our reservation was at 17.30 and it was only 17.00. On our way to the restaurant we came across an English Book Store which is something we both truly love. And that store has about every book I want to own. Some about diet and how it sucks, some about cupcakes, thousands of copies of the Hunger Games, Harry Potter (which I read in Dutch, but I want to read the original books too) and an entire bookcase with all the classics. Austen, Bronte, Tolstoy, Dickens, The entire collection of Sherlock Holmes, a collection of Andersson's fairytales, und so weiter. Amazing. I want that bookcase in the library I'm going to own. You remember the one in Beauty and the beast? That one.
I will be going back to that store. And my wallet and bank-account are not going to enjoy that visit. :)
We literally had to drag each other out of that store, but we got out and went to the restaurant.
The sushi was delicious as always. Nothing much to tell you there. They did have the best green tea me and my friend ever tasted though. Not bitter at all! Janiek, my friend, is going to look it up on the internet. If she finds it, I'll tell you the name so we can all enjoy the best green tea ever!
When we were just about finished, one of our mutual friends had a spontaneous moment. He started a group app to ask us and a few other friends if we had anything to do, and if not we could come and join him in his empty house. No one should be alone on a Saturday evening. We accepted the invite.
On our way back to the train we heard some loud noises, like people were screaming. When we tried to find out where the noise was coming from we found out that people actually were screaming. I still don't know what it was, we think supporters.. it was scary though. We got to Amsterdam Centraal in one piece. But the scary moment wasn't over yet.
In the train a man asked my friend if he could sit next to us. Polite as she is, she said yes. She hadn't noticed the beer bottle yet. Neither had I. So the man sat down beside me, smelling like beer and I thought, oh god. It wasn't that bad, just weird really. He started talking about how time goes so fast and that he really needed to pee badly. We just sat there, nodding and saying things like: "yeah.." and "oh really?". Not really trying to keep the conversation going. We did do the really worst you could do at such a moment. We got out our cellphones and opened the group app. At the time it was really funny, but actually it's kind of sad. He must have had a bad evening and there we were, a twenty and nineteen year old making fun of the drunken, weird man. Thankfully nothing happened, he just said goodbye and got out when he reached his station.
The rest of the evening was fun. We played a board game and poker at my friends house, all old school and stuff. At around 1:00 I remembered something though. Something that made the palm of my hand reach my face and smack it quite intensely. I forgot my keys. I knew my parents were really going to hate me if I'd wake them up. My mother had to work and my father had this marathon he was going to run. So the only hope was my brother. He was out with friends but after a few calls he came by the house to open the door for me and I really loved him for it!
Well, that was my Saturday. Sunday was quite peaceful after this eventful day :P I went to the gym in the morning and me and my sister made a lovely dinner for mothers day.
And now I'm back at school. My cold is not entirely gone, but I can sing again! Right now I'm working on 'Autumn' from 'Staring here, Starting now' and 'Let me be your star' from 'Smash'. I'll post a video of me singing them when their ready to be heard :P
Sorry for the long post, hope you liked it though!
