Is this the end?!?

2010-03-24T21:08:00.000-07:00

STARDUST IS TOMORROW!!!!

and i still dont have a song. like, i don't seem to have a song that i feel represents me.kinda sad.cuz of course there are all those high screaming songs and he normal not-so-screaming songs and i've tried so many. but i shall persevere!lols.

2010-03-19T08:48:00.000-07:00

AKICON'S FINALLY OVER!!

haha. major project where we have to build a span that can hold 6 l of water. span has to be 1.5m long. ours is really awesome! if i could say so myself. i'm proud of it, and proud that my group conquered every single obstacle that came our way. and omg were there a lot of obstacles. so many small things were gg wrong! not like, toal span failure but stupid things like, ourpecestal too weird, cannot hold span up, or, cardboard cut too short so must recut. but we finally did it.

my bday was celebrated with cake being smashed into my face 2 times. tortured, but it was fun. and the leftover cake was edible and very nice.sheryl, sam and hoon bought me a purple dress.gwen bought me a watermelon clip! damn cute. still dunno what to get from my parents.

2010-03-09T04:41:00.000-08:00

My blog was dead for so long.

i contemplated reviving it many times but i guess this is the first time i'm actually doing it.

i realised i have changed alot. maybe become even more like what i am. more focused, more playful, a little more whimsical. i thought i couldnt get any crazier than i already was, but apparently i can:)

i miss everyone from JC! seriously. i didnt realise it until i met up with shena and yy and then sheryl and sam. damn awesome to hang out with them again., given that i've changed so much, i'm so happy to know that we still click and i'm still accepted just like last time.

work is really getting tough. its been aki, aki, aki, cca, aki, go out, aki, aki, aki. and i think i;m gg to give up soon, as much as i know i shouldnt, and that if i do i'm just going to regret it for the rest of my life. but its tough. the things you would do for an epiphany.

then again, i've been writing more songs. AND NO THEY'RE NOT ABOUT BUILDINGS! lols. will upload on my other blog, when i have the time.

i shouldnt be blogging now. then again, if i didnt start now, i dont think i would have ever started again.

meet up soon everyone:)

eusoff hall, here i come!!

2009-08-06T01:37:00.000-07:00

I finally received my confirmation for on-campus accomodation!! i got my first choice some more. so shiok. Eusoff hall is the nearest to School of Design and Environment so... yay!! haha lols. shall go collect keys tomorrow!! hope i got the right room though. should be la.

went to celebrate shuhao's and cheryl's bday yesterday!! we went to the Nude Restaurant in Ion Orchard. Sally, Mingching, Pei Ching, ShuHao, Cheryl, Weiying, Seow Peng, Jerry, Chen, Ynni and me and some other ppl i can't remember were there. finally our table became 'seperated' so it was me, ching,shuhao,sally and peiching sitting and laughing our heads off and the other ppl gossipping within themselves. but it was still damn fun because its been so long since i had a good laugh. my apple martini was AWESOME! much nicer than the lychee one. Shuhao ordered this drink called Sex on the Beach which was damn nice!! peach vodka. we were laughing our heads off the whole meal la. there was no end in our conversation from like, one topic to another to another. first time hanging out with peiching but somehow we clicked!! AND GET THIS, one of cheryl's friends from YJ was actually my primary school friend!! so cool la. she also stays in malaysia so we went back tgt. she was kinda tipsy so she called her bro to pick her up from sentral. lols.

2009-08-03T07:37:00.000-07:00

RED CROSS PERFORMANCE SUCKED!!! lols. no sound check leh. and no sound check also at least have a professional to adjust mic volume, not some guy who cannot even understand when ppl point at their mic and point downwards. haix. but it was still damn fun!! i have to say the guys learned their parts well, especially BJ! damn fast sia. like one week. and we all got some experience now. LESSON TO BE LEARNT: always have soundcheck. i dunno why we weren't provided with one, but hey, too bad la. its over anyway, so i don't really wanna think about it.
looking forward to next performance!!

Went for rag today! quite fun la, albeit mundane jobs. we were papier mache-ing the chair that will be used in the float. so we just dump paper into the starch and paste it on the chair. had to leave cuz need to go home. wednesday also gg to leave early. the only real day i'll be there will be friday and sat (since we're staying over!!!) and we'll be moving all the floats and stuff to the location. alot of things will be done in the middle of the night cuz the competition starts early in the morning. its gonna be damn fun!!

totally missed ISTANA!!! Ahhhhhh. quite sad cuz like, we worked for it so hard and i didnt get to see the final product. stupid fever. but the fever was scary sia. 42.5 degrees!! freaked out the temp taker at woodlands polyclinic. i didnt know ppl can walk if their temp is so high. lols. missing the after party also cuz now have to go collect some unknown package that came for me. should be the NUS timetable and stuff la. haix. must go post office take, and the postoffice is freaking far from my house.

SHERYL CHIA HAS PASSED HER DRIVING!! lols. now it's just me.....

life is awesome.

2009-06-28T08:46:00.000-07:00

AHH!! Ajchoir alumni concert was damn nice!! so worth the money and walking and getting lost that we did before and after the concert. met yy at city hall mrt and we took a cab down to bencoolen hotel then we walked to waterloo street. asked directions from these 2 nice ppl working at a hotel and they were like, "waterloo is 3 km away" and then told us they're joking. concert was AWESOME!!!!! lols pls go to facebook and watch the videos. anw, ACAPELLA PRAC!! colin and chee ang weren't there. we managed to complete the choreo for the whole thing so next prac will be abt running and getting the seal of approval from the guys. then of course they have to learn also la:)

the second blog i was talking about:)

happy feet and painful hands

2009-06-23T09:28:00.001-07:00

I'm sorry you didn't get in:( but I know you well enough to know that you'll never give up on doing the things you love. So dance, Miss Happy Feet.

lols. totally normal day. almost done arranging Because Of You. Using my brother's computer becuse he's hogging my Cakewalk Home Studio 2002.Guitar playing finally sounds like a guitar! rockin'. Hand hurts though. got acapella tomorrow!! looking forward to it:) apparently we need to do a fundraising-inspirational song( if we can) so we gotta decide on that song too. can choose to sing that song with backgroud music also la. would be easier:)

I spent an IMMENSE amount over the past few months!! seriously man, gotta curb spending. i havent totally deflated that 1K from that project job yet, but it's close. keep on withdrawing money like siao.

a joke before i go:

What did one blonde say to another?
"HEY!! do we go to the same hair salon?"

2009-06-16T23:42:00.000-07:00

woohoo. I hope that this time I'll confirm get a hostel spot. I emailed the people and they told me to re-apply as an international student (i think more chance of getting) so that's what I've done. Now everything is in the hands of LOA. lols.

kind of tired with bags under my eyes. supposed to get out today and meet sheryl and sam and go shopping but it was cancelled since sam is broke and the main reason why we planned to go there was to go to a shop she wanted to go( I can't remember which shop to save my life).

AHH i will get a hostel room!!!! i must. Aki is apparently a killer. the senior I was talking to was like,"alot of my wood is out-sourced. we don't really have alot of time to cut it ourselves." Out-sourced means that they buy it from ??? where it comes pre-cut. i think you have to send them your plans and measurements or sth. its gg to be really satisfying at the end:)) i mean, after all that work, when freshies like us go in and say,"omg your proj is so nice!!" you're bound to be proud.

haha

2009-06-16T07:18:00.000-07:00

crap la. i think we wasted alot of acapella time laughing at each other's crap. with yy doing weird 'du's while sticking her neck out and chee ang's octave jump that his throat tends to forget to my very-techno-like punches.but we still managed to accomplish stuff. finished the front of OTR and the first 2 pages of I'm Yours. regret my weird beats again, i'm so sorry ppl.

all in all, it was fun. cant wait to sing at the performance! we're gg to put up a great one. difficult songs and all.

what else did i do? nothing actually. gg for driving on thursday. hope no one dies.

100th post!! AHHHHH!!

2009-06-06T05:05:00.000-07:00

OoOoO this is my 100th post!!!(i know mingching reached his like, ages ago.) lols.

nvr get in. so sad:( but hey the experience was super insanely fun!! and YOUYING GOT IN!! so can support her:) met alot of nice ppl, like Iris, Benjamin(CJ) and Maria. Saw Zi and Shah!! Hope they got thru to the next round, they should cuz they are freaking AWESOME!! lols. i know i sound a little too enthu for a person who just like, kena thrashed at the thing she likes to do best, bt honestly, i'm fine. lols. and i'm seriously happy for the others. Iris and Youying got in, CJ should have cuz he has a mad voice and so do Shah and Zi. Was being totally spastic la, but CJ started it with all his,"i'm gg to pimp my crutch(he has _____arthritis (the blank being a word that means early or at a young age.i think it was premature, not very sure la.))" and me gg all ,"ya then you can use it as a new mike stand and like hoble off stage with it, and you'll have sympathy votes...blah blah". Thinking of it, THANK GOD he had a sense of humour sia. anyone else would have been seriously offended and given me the Hazel-stare. and before that, the previous day we were queueing and Iris, yy and I were talking about alot of movies, mainly night at the museum 2 and twilight. lols. lucky she was not some tao person.
All in all, it was really a fun experience la. gurmit is crazy la, super alot of energy, getting us to do crazy dances which were not v effective in warming us up but sure put us in the mood for fun.

CJ also writes songs!! so cool right? he was eavesdropping on my and yy's convo on how i'm setting up a new blog to post my own compositions cuz i'm so bored of keeping them at home. HIS MAIN INFLUENCE IS JASON MRAZ!!! omgomgomgomg. jason mraz fan to jason mraz fan. woohoo!! lols. totally forgot to take his contact la. he should get in so yy will get it next time she sees him. SO FREAKING AWESOME!!

OH ya he also had this spastic game where he chose ppl to go down and he will tell the story and those ppl must like make the sound. YY was chosen so i grabbed her cam and started filming. The game was pretty sane( i wasnt laughing much, so ya quite sane) until it reached this guy. gurmit was like, "the boy was bouncing a ball" and that guy totally put his hand near his crotch area and tried to imitate a ball bouncing, but it came out as "dick,dick,dick". Damn funny!!!!I think i was the first one who got it sia. momentary lag and then everyone burst out in laughter. story continued and gurmit started asking for horny animals like, horny cow, horny lion". Then reached that "dick" guy again and gurmit asked for "horny horse". the guy was like,"neigh, snort" and gurmit was like, NO NO. then gurmit said,"wrong, it should be like this. Neigh, snort, dick,dick,dick." TOTALLY WHACKED OUT FUNNY!! coulnt control my laughter anymore( you know that when you're recording you try not to make noise bcuz itll be v clear) so now the vid has a sadako-like background growling that was me then i tried to control my laughter. Oh my God it was so freaking fun I cant believe it. It made all the queueing and 3 hours of sleep worth it:)

Dick,dick,dick.

Singapore Idol

2009-06-04T23:49:00.000-07:00

So today I'm staying at my grandmother's house so that tml i can go there with youying early. lols. so kancheong but really no choice. i know ppl who are staying over there okay. lols. should see cheryl, azizi, shah and probably Jae. Wonder how its gg to be. lols. should be super crowded la, if i one person knows about 4 other ppl are joining, there must be alot of ppl joining. lols. must be within the first 500!! or must come back another day. DUN WANT TO. but if have to, dammit, i'm gg to camp there.

Singing and escapism

2009-06-04T23:28:00.000-07:00

I wonder. I miss the times we used to sing about escape and running away just to feel happy. Songs like Great Escape. Kind of miss those times cuz it would be ppl like me, Sheryl and Sam just singing at the top of our voices, and for a moment feel free of AJ's constricted environment, grey aged walls and institutionalised organisation. I wonder if we'll ever have times like that ever again. Secondary school and JC was fun because of all the singing. Super good memories of being on stage, even though the performances were not always awesome. wouldnt change a moment of it. Singing under the umbrellas in AJ, while wondering what debauchery(i got the spelling right on the first try!!) was going on in NEXUS(or shall I say, SEXUS). None of us could really sing Great Escape, cuz of the range, but if there is one thing i really miss is the fact that we could anyhow whack without worrying what we sound like. really miss that.

We'll write a song
That turns out the lights
When both boy and girl start suddenly shaking inside
Don't waste your time
Speed up your breathing
Just close your eyes
We'll hope it's for nothing at all

-We The Kings:Secret Valentine

Cohesion

2009-05-30T21:41:00.000-07:00

I don't really know where to start cuz it happened alot of times with me, different scenarios.

I guess when it comes down to being a group everyone always has their own opinions. When these opinions match, they form a sort of cohesion, somewhat like mob theory as mentioned in The Series of Unfortunate Events: The Vile Village (book 7). Sometimes everyone has different opinions and they share it, leading to a development of their cohesion as a whole.

Sometimes though, our opinions are at opposites ends of a pole. It isn’t wrong, and that’s not what I’m here to prove. Everyone’s opinions and always right and respected because each of us is different in infinite aspects. It comes down to accepting what each other has to say instead of pushing your own point of view.

Not shooting anyone here, because I am like that too. I tend to push my POV to override what other people think. And I am wrong to do that. But so is everyone else who does that. Especially when 2 people who feel the extreme need to feel right, whether it’s for their own belief(not as in religion, more of what they believe is right) or their ego.

I guess the solution is to sit down and have a nice long talk. After all, what everyone else has to say is equally important as what I have to say. Or we wouldn't have been created so diverse in the first place.

FYI: Post inspired by recent events, not wholly about recent events (some dating back to sec 1)

NEW THEME SONG!! for me la.

No Boundaries-Kris Allen
Seconds, hours, so many days
You know what you want, but how long can you wait?
Every moment last forever
When you feel you've lost your way

What if my chances were already gone?
I started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
To fight and never walk away

Here I am, still holding on

With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries

I fought to the limit, to stand on the edge
What if today is as good as it gets?
Don't know where the future's heading
But nothing's gonna bring me down
I've jumped every bridge and I've run every line
I risked being safe but I always knew why
I always knew why

So here I am, still holding on

With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can

You can go higher, you can go deeper
There are no boundaries above and beneath you
Break every rule 'cause there's nothing between you
And your dreams

With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe

Yeah, there are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes

There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

Currently in LOVE with Kris Allen!!! Lalala.

Totally no idea why i like this song:)

David Archuleta - Touch My Hand

Saw you from a distance
Saw you from the stage
Something about the look in your eyes
Something about your beautiful face

In a sea of people
There is only you
I never knew what the song was about
But suddenly now I do

Trying to reach out to you, touch my hand
Reach out as far as you can
Only me, only you, and the band
Trying to reach out to you, touch my hand

Can’t let the music stop
Can’t let this feeling end
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never see you again
Can’t let the music stop
Until I touch your hand
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never get the chance again
I’ll never get the chance again
I’ll never get the chance again

I see the sparkle of a million flashlights
A wonderwall of stars
But the one that’s shining out so bright is the one right where you are

Trying to reach out to you, touch my hand
Reach out as far as you can
Only me, only you, and the band
Trying to reach out to you, touch my hand

Can’t let the music stop
Can’t let this feeling end
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never see you again
Can’t let the music stop
Until I touch your hand
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never get the chance again
I’ll never get the chance again

Saw you from the distance
Saw you from the stage
Something about the look in your eyes
Something about your beautiful face

Can’t let the music stop
Can’t let this feeling end
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never see you again
Can’t let the music stop
Until I touch your hand
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never get the chance again
I’ll never get the chance again

Can’t let the music stop
Can’t let this feeling end
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never see you again
Can’t let the music stop
Until I touch your hands
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never get the chance again
I’ll never get the chance again

Trying to reach out to you, touch my hand
Reach out as far as you can
Only me, only you, and the band
Trying to reach out to you, touch my hand
Yeah, yeah, yeah

2009-05-17T06:01:00.000-07:00

wow alot has been up lately. alot of singing with acapella group,hanging out with sheryl and sam with ALOT of xbox playing. driving has been a blast cuz i'm not stalling anymore!! haha.mum got some mayday model partnership award thingy so went for that event.sit until butt pain but it was nice to see my mom take prize.took photos and one scandalous photo in which my mom's colleague looks like she's grabbing another guy's crotch (of course, her hand was like just swinging by). very funny. met shah and zi to sing and finally ended up talking about pokemon. very funny sia. like how old alr.but still it was damn fun:) lols. dont really blog anymore. kinda lost the drive to blog that i used to have. haix. used to blog like evryday and now its like once a month. waitin for the drive to come back...

2009-04-22T08:41:00.001-07:00

wow. too much has been up. really. from driving to meeting up with shenana to arrange "don't matter" to teaching at Pro-teach to ACTUALLY MEETING HAFIS AND GETTING CRITIQUE to trying to arrange more songs........ the list really goes on. Seems like a little bit but once you throw in late nights arranging songs, sore throats and the flu, its quite alot. not to mention my horrible driving where i keep on stalling... lols. hi-larious.

invested in a beautiful journal with a little red riding hood theme that cost 8 bucks (gasp) since i havent had time to blog. but i know that this year is gg to be AWESOME!! i'm really hoping me and Sheryl end up in the same course!! selection test's on SUNDAY so we've been practicing. our model building has improved tremendously, starting out with a squashed parallelogram and fish shape to two storey buildings with curved roofs and curved second storey walls and pointed roofs. looking at it i think we'll get in. already practiced so hard:) shena applied for real estate so if she gets it too we'll be in the same school!! so awesome:) i hope it happens:))

2009-04-05T06:04:00.000-07:00

wahh. pizza making has been postponed because my mom forgot not to cook. utter genius i tell you. anyway, nothing better to do. found this old book on origami architecture so i'm having fun with the stuff. will post pictures:) its like making 3D images of things from paper by cuttin the pattern and then making it stick out. hard to explain so i'll just upload photos..

very bored. facebook is killing me with absolute slowness and therefore i gave up. looking for a job so those with lobang...:)

nothing much really.

2009-04-02T01:26:00.000-07:00

saturday:

watched detroit metal city!! it was super hilarious sia. i was laughing at odd places which drew questioning glances from shena but in the end we all agreed it was funny. that guy's acting ( let me see...i think his name was kenichi matsuyama or sth like that) was super funny!! cant believe it was the same guy who acted as L in deathnote. which goes to show that he's a really great actor. ate in macs where we talked about alot of stuff. sat at ???( cant rmb the name of the shop) and talked and ate donuts. tried to sing only you, with not much success. after that i went to woodlands. shena lent me her choir scores to photocopy so i went to photocopy them.

monday:

reach singapore super early so i went to causeway point to sit/sleep until like 1015. brought only you score so i was looking thru it but finally fell asleep again. decided to splurge so i bought 3 tops from bossini (i know, some ppl are thinking, splurge= c&k or heatwave but bossini?!?) for about 60 bucks. had lunch with mum and then went to bugis to sing with sec school ppl. was kinda fun with ching choosing songs like hollaback girl and when i grow up. left arnd 530. luckily got bus sia, unlike that day when i had to wait abt 1.5 hours before a bus came.

yesterday went to wcp to play+ climb all the rope stuff. was very fun!! there was this little malay boy(3 years old?) who was smiling at sheryl non-stop and we were saying that he was probably wishing he can marry her in the future. i find it amusing how small kids proclaim their love for each other at such a young age. very funny!! somehow when we grow up we lose the confidence and tend to second-guess ourselves before even thinking of doing such stuff. kinda funny in a sad way.Anyway here are some pics(most of them are in sams i phone so...):

Sheryl being her spastic self. not obvious in the pic, but she was kind of hopping around in front of the camera hoping to be in the photo. very lols. we were totally being retarded even before reaching the climbing stuff la.

Gorgeous bougainvillea!! they were so beautiful but the richness of the colour wasnt really captured in the photo. gg to buy a noob professional cam once i got the money cuz i wanna learn how to take nice photos.

Sheryl posing. no idea what this pose is, but you surely not going to find it on a runway anytime soon....

very funny tree!! cant really see from the photo but one half of its leaves are red and the other half is green.

random ship we saw when we were sitting at this look out area along the coast.

some stick sticking out if the ocean. took it for utter randomness.

totally wore ourselves out so we all headed back home.

2009-03-27T06:18:00.001-07:00

Ahh!! rebonded my hair. I think its nice la but my bro says itll be nicer with a long fringe.i like it though.slight ammonia smell:(

havent blogged for ages! went for Virtuoso to watch yy perform and she was really good!! was fun watching her:) really proud of my sop SL!! although she din get in, she had awesome fun on stage and in the end that's what really matters:) got to go onstage to sing song during the games session. Actually all 3 of us (ching, shena and me) went on stage to sing. was really fun!! we should spend our coupon guys.:)

went bowling and movie-ing with sally alot. watched marley & me and push. Push storyline is nice, so ppl who like to think should go watch.

Wanted to go escape with sam, sheryl and bro but we realised it was CLOSED. so we went ecp to cycle and my bro taught me how to cycle!! or course i had that petrified look on my face and all, but i finally can cycle so future no need to take tandem bike. not very good yet la, but at least can move without falling. almost broke the BK glass wall by ramming the bike into it. tried to skip pebbles but failed. ran across the place where the drain exits into the sea (where the water is suprisingly clean). almost killed a child by hitting her bike. luckily she wasnt on it:)) found a live clam, saw a girl stripping on the beach so that her bf can put sun block. weird day, as usual. but it was awesome fun.
talked alot and laughed alot. i swear i havent laughed like that in a long time. love my clique:)) hoon din come cuz she's working:( but it was okay. she better come next time.

Gg to watch detroit metal city tml!! should be very funny. the advert looked damn funny la so i cant wait to watch it!!

still trying to find scores for accapella!! can only find those classical songs which is a bit weird, esp if your grp is just starting out. so... still searching.

loving my hair, and hazel LETS HAVE A SLEEPOVER!! will have to check with my parents but i'll ask:)

hope i wont take so long to blog again.

2009-03-05T07:51:00.000-08:00

Ok, I've resurrected my blog. I know its been dead but ive been busy with work and other stuff. but work in general has been pretty fun. we did alot of spastic things, squealed everytime we found out a whole block was occupied with offices and all that jazz. I'm glad its over and now i'm just going to wait for my $$$ to come. Brother's in Taiwan so i currently dont have someone to disturb at home. Quite sad cuz even my dog loses interest in me after a while. Anyway, here are sone photos me and Sheryl took on our last day in Lim Chu Kang (which, by the way, is nothing like Yio Chu Kang. Super ulu sia. and alot of lorries.) We walked like crap just to get from one shop to another and we got a lift from a helpful delivery guy.(I know, no lifts from strangers, but we didnt really have a choice. We had been walking continuously for about 2 hours.) Generally just us being spastic on Lim Chu Kang Lane ???.

The very mouldy signboard at the bus stop. The road was so covered with sand, everytime a lorry passed by, we had to bury our heads in something so that our eyes don't tear up and we don't sneeze.

Mingching's pictures at Parkway something-or-another. From extreme left its Dante and the other is Dali. We got shooed of cuz its a sensitive building with alot of Ambassador Offices. He nvr upload so i upload. Lols.

Happy Valentines' Day!!

2009-02-14T04:09:00.000-08:00

Hey ppl!! Happie valentines' day!! lols. Mine is spent at home, cooking lamb chop, facebooking, playing solitaire and doing chores. but hey, it was a nice day for relaxing. I quit at archives so now i'm free. until tuesday. ask me if you dunno why cuz there's many reasons why i can't type it here. anyway, my mom bought me a rose! so sweeet of her. and sheryl gave me some lantern- like ornament which is really cool. kinda sad that valentines' day is spent at home but its not that bad to be single! only problem is, when your friends are attached, you have to be a lightbulb. but i guess that's life.
This is the rose my mom bought!!

Anyway, since i'm uploading photos, might as well upload a few more right? so here they are,

Bubble and Fifi. Youying's dogs. They're just totally adorable la. love them to bits!!

Me and sheryl took this photo on the way to archives. I think its actually very nice cuz if you look carefully you can see Sheryl and I in the background. lols.

Apparently our A results are coming out on 9 march. not totally confirmed yet but that's what most ppl are saying so...

dun really have much to say today. quite bored with life.

Bye Bye- Mariah Carey

This is for my people's who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high, we will never say bye

Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my people's who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me alive
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes
It's something more than saying, "I miss you"
But when we talked too
All them grown full things separation brings
You never let me know it, you never let it show
Because you loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to sayI
f you were with me today face to face

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
I wish I could talk to you for awhile
I wish I could find a way try not to cry
As time goes by

And soon as you reached a better place
Still I'll give the whole world to see your face
And I'm bragging next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

And you never got the chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together
I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the teddy bear you gave me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong that you can make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
I wish I could talk to you for awhile
I wish I could find a way try not to cry
As time goes by

And soon as you reached a better place
Still I'll give the world to see your face
And I'm bragging next to youIt feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye bye

Great people leave footprints in your heart, no matter how faint.
Goodbye Jacqueline.

We all got through to quarterfinals!!! So exciting. But so scary also la. The QFs are on thursday AND I HAVEN'T PICKED A SONG YET!!! very holy cow. confir need to take leave oin wed to go prac le. throat's still acting up but hey, i did auditions with a funky throat didn't i? I'll just pull that magic again. today was bored to death in archives again except from the occasional humor i got from watching my colleague alvin fall asleep (i worried first ok? then i loled). Anw, grats girls!! We'll go all the way!! Need to sincerely and seriously thank mingching, colin and kangting for helping all 3 of us!! Its been great fun too! i actually had loads of fun preparing for auditions. Let's have fun all the way to finals girls!!

2009-02-07T00:48:00.000-08:00

Yo ppl!! hahax. i finally have time to blog at home since my office computer has NO INTERNET CONNECTION. haix. yesterday i was told to search their photo database for photos related to cold war. my in-charge, kevin, gave me a list of keywords to search for so i was just busy printing. Anyway, yesterday we went for Virtuoso 2009 auditions. all of our auditions seemed to havve gone well so we're just crossing our fingers. Hope we all get in so that we can continue meeting up to practice. Those days were really enjoyable so i wish we can continue that. Lols.

Life is currently at a standstill. It feels very weird not to be learning anything. Sinve i forgot to sign up for FTT after passing BTT, I'm like not doing anything now. Feels like a waste of time but i guess soon we'll all be studying again in uni. I WANT TO DO WELL AND GO INTO A GOOD COURSE!! dun wan to have wasted 2 years( although you cant really say it was a waste since i met so many great ppl.)

Anw, High School Never Ends by Bowling For Soup is one of the songs i've been listening alot to vuz it seems it really is true. All the gossip and backstabbing, check. Crazy in-charge you wanna keep running away from? Check. The funny ppl that you just seem to be able to talk to? Check. The weird ppl that make you just stare at them? Check. Everything's there la. Seriously.

Lols ok i gtg. Hope to see everyone soon!!

2009-02-02T06:16:00.000-08:00

wahh. today's my first day at National Archives. It's really dead down there man. I cant believe sheryl has lasted there for so long without going crazy. Remember the cold room i talked about in the last post? well, if the Colr Room was silent, National Archives is what Earth will sound like once there are no more living things on it. Seriously, it's that bad. I almost cracked myself up but have to control cuz i'm sure that even if i laugh softly it'll be heard from the boss' office. my boss (called Praying Mantis in future reference) really looks like a praying mantis. Which is scary. And she's those naggy kind. Kind of got on my nerves but i managed to pretend and smile and say "ya,ya,ya" to everything. Damn i deserve an oscar!! i felt like slapping her listening to the way she talked to another employee. No doubt the employee is below her in rank but she talked to him like he's stoopid la. Anyway, that employee guy is nice so i'm under him and it's not that bad. Can't stand that praying mantis. And there's another woman( henceforth called Nagger) who spent like 20 mins telling us to do things when she could have used like 1 min. She just keep umm, oh... etc etc. very pro la.

You know what's the best thing? they use floppy disks to transfer info. Please la. The computer I'm typing this on has no floppy disk slot cuz floppy disk is so outdated it's ancient. But my job not that bad la. Just database updating. Quite ok la. but that room is also damn cold. Haix.Jacket time.

ok i gg to sleep already. tired. seeya ppl!

2009-01-28T17:36:00.001-08:00

hi. just super bored at work cuz, again, they have nothing for us to do. so i'm just sitting here and surfing the Net. gets really boring after a while. can't wait to meet shena yy mingching ND Kngting to practice for the competition later. at least i can get out of this dreaded place. I'm seriously going to fall asleep here if i dont do something interesting now. so i'm downloading a trial HP game to play. i think it's called burger shop. lols. well, anything beas sitting here with nothing to do. you'd think i would be happy not having any work to do but the truth is, when there's nothing to do in this place, it's just too boring a place to do anything else. can't even go facebook which is pretty sad but at least i can blog-hop. just so.utterly.bored.now.... and its freezing as usual. so not only is the environment boring, its also hostile. hostile not in the war way but in the cold way. haix. 88% downloaded.... HURRY UP!!!

2009-01-28T01:15:00.000-08:00

I just changed my blogskin, as is very obvious. The fun thing about it is i got paid to do it. Cuz noone has any work for a sad little temp like me. The other temp is busy slacking too i guess. Cant really see what's going on behind my cublicle like place. Can't wait for tomorrow!!!! lols. and i realised that i like how the colour blue looks on my blog. so there.

2009-01-27T23:27:00.001-08:00

Ahh i havent blogged like forever!! ok. Gg for the auditions for SMU Virtuoso 09 on sat with youying and shena. Hope we all get in. I'm not sure what they're singing but I'm singing I'mYours by Jason Mraz. Lols. really miss being on stage alone. Still remember fucking up auditions for AJ Idol 07 but this time it's not gg to be the same. For once, I'm gg to take care of my throat!! ( except for the Tom Yam Ban Mian I had for lunch...) anyway I'm hoping all three of us will get to the next round!! Pray pray.

Anyway us+ Colin+ Kangting went to yy's house to practice that day. It was such awesome fun man!! really laughed too much. Should stop laughing so much cuz after that we all couldnt really sing anymore. Totally loved yy's dogs!! They are soooooooo adorable!! And her parents are great too. I hope this Thursday's practice will be good too!!

Well today Serene ( another temp at my office) and me completed arranging the files in the makeshift storeroom. Man that took alot of effort. I cant believe we al actually managed to enter all the information fromte files as well as arrange them in numerical order and STILL have 2 more days in here. But hey, girl power!! We pasted stamps fo envelopes today too. Did about 900+ envelopes. After that we were told that some had the wrong stamps ( too expensive ones) and we had to soak the envelopes to remove them. That's basically how our whole morning went. Now we're just slacking (and getting paid to slack) while we wait for more things to do. Read through my Basic Theory since my test is on Friday. So many people already passed so I better pass!!

Anyway, really wanna meet up with people like Mingching ( who I get to see tomorrow!!!!:D) and Jocelyn and LeiNuo and Audrey and the other million people I promised to keep in touch with after O levels. Of course there are some people I DON'T want to see but that can be dealt with in due course. Really miss (almost) everyone like WeiShan and Melissa and ShuTing and ShiHui and more of the people I miss sooooo much!! Also wanna meet up with my bimbo clique cuz everyone's just been so busy lately.

My clique (with Sheryl as leader) is planning this Sandcastling Outing for some Red Cross exco and that has gotten us on the phone for like hours since there always seems to be problems with it. Finally going to present it at a meeting but Chia and Hoon won't be there so Sam and me have to like handle all their questions. I better bring a stress ball!!!

Another thing. Lols. Me and Hoon and Chia + Shena and Shona went for some trial classes at StudioWu and MovingArts. Really loved street jazz at StudioWu but i think if i joined I'll be that techer's one and only failure. Yes I was that bad. But it was awesome fun cuz theteacher was good and his choreo was way hotter than Moving Arts. MovingArts wasn't that bad but StudioWu simply trumped it la.

I'm gg to be working at the National Archives of Singapore next week onwards. Chia doesn't seem to like it there but I don't have the details. I hope it isn't that bad cuz I'm looking for good experiences int he working world. Hard to find but ya... I wish that all this experience will help in the future and therefore I wanted to work in NAS (abovementioned archives). Cuz the scope there seems to be different from regular office jobs, with summarising and research etc. etc. Hopefully it'll be beneficial for me once I get into Architecture at NUS or some other local university ( I really hope i get it!!!) The pay there is also better though it comes down to around the same when i work out travelling time plus the number of hours I'll be able to work.

Currently seated in The Cold Room where noone plays music or talks interesting stuff. Wrapped up in a scarf cuz, apart from its fiurative meaning, this room is literally colder than normal rooms. Hence, scarf. Really bored cuz I don't have anything to do (and hence, this very long post too).

In this office there's apparently a cool guy who's quitting his job to become a full time musician. So utterly awesome man. He's like, living my dream. One day, I shall be like him too. So cool la. I totally wish I could live this part of his life for him. I have no idea what he looks like though. I only know he's malay andhis name is Jamil or Jameil or Jamiel...you get the picture. He knows my mom and that's how i got all the info.

Anyway, my dad bought an electronic drum set!! So cool right!! He bought it cuz my bro wanted it but there's no way he can stop me from using it!! Lols. I'm telling my bro to master it so that me and him and my dad and mum can form a band. That'll be like, so funny la.

Currently trying to find places to sing. Like a club or a wedding of just something. Really miss that feeling of owning the stage. You do get that feeling when you're in a choir, of course, but it's not as personal as you want it to be. Damn i am such an attention seeker.

Guess I should either stop blogging or start a new post. I afraid this computer will hang on me. It's like, ancient.

2008-11-05T20:44:00.000-08:00

i KNOW. i know i shouldnt be blogging in the middle of As but my blog kind of looks pathetic. havent updated for more than a month. just been pretty occupied with As and all. Papers so far (GP, math p1, chem p3 and phy p3) were not overly hard i guess. Quite do-able except for the freaking complicatred questions for GP p1. other than that its not that bad la. cant wait for this to be over. im like, looking forward to exams just because i know that after that i dont have to care about them anymore. Got some major planning to do after As. So much time and nothing to do... hope my parents let me get somewhere to work. still have no idea where though. ok i guess that i better go study. math p2 tomorrow... god knows i need to study.

2008-09-04T00:53:00.000-07:00

Haven't blogged for very long. Well. Went to study with Mingching, Lei Nuo and Hao Yu (hope i got his name right) yesterday. Yj's math prelim paper was educational. Really feel like an idiot cuz there were alot of questions I couldn't do. Don't even think I would have passed. Lols. Prelim's coming soon so most of the time I've been at home studying (or trying to) or online. Sometimes I'm not really in the mood to study. Where is all that drive I had for O levels? Well. Hope the rest of my friends are studying and not lazing around like me. Tried to do chem but got infinitely bored. I've got to pass chem this time!! Already failed it at mid years.. my econs too. Have to pass both. Hope I do. Our teachers did really drill certain topics for econs so I'm banking on these topics being tested. Chem... sigh. A little hopeless at chem. Always have been. Hope I do well this time. Everyone else seems to be working hard. It is time to be working hard I guess.

Well teachers' day was jsut over on the first of september. The GP teachers + mr toh performed a whacked-out version of Duffy's Mercy. very lols. Mr toh and miss quek both took the caring teacher award. Hehe. Now mr toh can't bully people anymore. Ms siao also took a national award for something related to being caring. Really love her!! I don't know her that well but the concern she had for us when we came back from obs was really heartwarming. Many bands performed, especially one with all choir ppl except for the drummer who was from band. They performed "She's the one" by I-dunno-who. Cheryl also sang Sway. And one more song if i'm right. Can't really remember. I just know that teachers' day was quite fun cuz siew hoon came even though she said she wasn't going to and we were laughing our heads off for most of the time. Lols. Gave ms ewe, ms quek, mr bell, mr ng and mr chew photos with messages attached. messaged mr lim and mr zheng with a teacher's day message cuz both of them taught us, especially mr zheng. Miss him lots!! He was so hilarious. didnt have mr aw's number so didn't get to message him.

so that's all that's happened in my life so far. 70 days to As!!

10.What do you want most right now?
Happiness.
11.Do you believe in fate?Yup. But I also believe you make youre own fate and destiny. Hypocrite in my own way.
12.What do you think it is the most important in your life?
friends, family, happiness and fulfilment.
13.Who are the ones that can make you very happy when you're super upset no matter when?
Sheryl, Sam, Hoonie. Mingching cuz he’s just super entertaining. My bro cuz he tends to give the “I understand” look. And he likes to give hugs.

20.Do you believe that who you fall for is a reflection of who you are?
I guess so. I mean, you fall for a person you can relate to, right? So it probably means that you like a person who is somewhat like you.

2008-06-23T01:37:00.000-07:00

A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.
Lols ok.

B) Tag 8 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by & cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.
Er...ok.

#1 If your friend betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
I really, REALLY do not like betrayers. Barely talk to them even if they were once a close friend.

#2 If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?
To be happy come what may.

#3 What will your dream wedding be like?
I will take what my other half says into consideration but probably simple with all my close friends and family ( which is quite a lot considering i consider AJChoir my family too.)

#4 Will you rather have a loving girl/boyfriend and little friends, or no girl/guy to love you yet many friends?
Currently stuck at the latter. But personally i think that both extremes have their pros and cons.

#5 What if one day you realised that the person you love turns out to be different from whom you think he/she is?
2 sitches:
1. He's better: I'll be glad i fell in love with him.
2. He's worse: Depends on how bad it is. If its something minor I'll just deal with it.

#6 Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Both are equally blessed. But being loved is more fun.

#7 Subway cookies or Famous Amos?
Subway cookies!!

#8 Longest relationship
With my family or friends? 6 years of friendship with Mingching.

#9 Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
The fact that how well I score in exams is proportional to how much I study.( Which is not a lot.)

#10 What do you want 1st most in life?
My friends and family to be happy.

#11 Do you like being tagged?
Yup. Reminds me that there are people there willing to click on my link.

#12 How do you see yourself in ten years' time?
Hotel manager. Hopefully. Married? Hopefully.

#13 Who are the most important people in your life right now?
Clique-Sheryl,Samantha,Siew Hoon. Family. Mingching. Other good friends like Weilun, Xiankai and Kartik.

#14 What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
Shuhao is a SCAMMER!! Cuz she made everyone who reads her blog do this thing. Lols jkjk. She's a really sweet person who is a good friend. Enriched my Band life. I have really good memories of that time and she is part of them.

#15 Would you rather be single and rich or married but poor?
Married but poor. But should have basic necessities.

#16 What's the first thing you do every morning?
Wonder why the hell i have to wake up at 3.30am to go to school.

#17 Would you give all in a relationship?
If the other does the same.Depends on the kind of relationship too though.

#18 Who would you consider your best friends in your current occupation?
Occupation of being a lazy slacker in a school of high expectations. Clique and Mingching I guess.

#19 What type of friends do you like?
People who can make me laugh for hours without even knowing that they are lighting up my life. I'm lucky in this respect I guess because most of my friends meet this criteria of sorts.

#20 How many questions have you changed?
2.Questions 1 and 13. Oh and i added an "s" to friend in Question 18. Cuz I dont really have just one best friend.

#21 If you were stuck in a room with your enemy, what would you do?
Depends on why that person became my enemy. If it was over some small petty argument I'll probably make friends, considering a room can get very boring after a while. As Erlinna always says," Make love not hate." But if that person betrayed me in some way, he/she can just rot in his/her own corner while I call my clique-sters and talk.

Now I'm tagging..
My Bro. And anyone who reads this blog other than like Mingching( cuz you probably read Shuhao's blog and therefore have to do it.)

Just had Math. Killer.Wonder if i'll do well cuz i really have to get out of this rut of Cs, Ds and Es. Econs tomorrow. Die.

Famine Camp!!

2008-06-15T08:28:00.000-07:00

Just came back from Famine Camp!! I have to say it was....fun. I can't say it's awesome because I was the only one in the group who didn't have anyone to talk to. There was one guy who ddn't have any friends in the group but he had Han Wei ( Hazel's friend) to talk to so he wasn't really alone. I guess I just don't look friendly enough or something. Lols. Anyway, we played this game called " Age of Civilisation" which was quite fun. Whether it was a real representation of what people feel in poor countries I don't know, but it was quite fun. I did find the whole Basic Task part ( the part representing the daily routines in your country such as water, healthcare, economic opportunities, food etc to ensure the survival of our country) a little non-realistic but I guess that was the closest we could get without really going to a poor country. For example, in the Food station for Basic Task we were given pictures of vegetables and fruits such as corn and we had to arrange beans on the picture to represent agriculture activities such as sowing seeds. It was a little boring. Me and Sam (who was also at that station) we discussing what the facilitators would do if we walk up to them with the containers of beans and start eating the beans. Very Lols.

That was yesterday. Today we went out to Tampines or newspaper collection. Quite enjoyable because I finally talked to some people in my group. We collected quite alot of newspaper and old clothes so I was quite happy with our progress. Then we went back to ACS(Barker) and slacked. Then my group (Ghana, Africa) started playing lame games ( ask me and I'll show you because I have no idea how to explain other than using step-by-step diagrams) and it was quite entertaining. Forfeit a little non-drama because it was just drinking bottles of water. But it was still loads of fun and I laughed alot. I'm back to normal I guess. Lols.

A lady by the name of Srey Mom came down to talk to us. She had HIV which she had contracted while working at a brothel. I think her life was quite sadbecause she really had a tough life. She was the only girl in her family. At 10 years old, her mother abandoned her in her village and took all her brothers with her to Phnom Penh to meet up with her father. She lived on the streets until a woman told her that she knows how to find her mother. Srey Mom followed her to Phnom Penh but the woman abandoned her at Phnom Penh. So she lived on the streets until she met a lady selling fruits. The lady gave her a job and food to eat. However, a common customer to the shop ( a WOMAN) told Srey Mom that she could offer a higher salary if Srey Mom worked for her. Srey Mom agreed but the woman sold her to a brothel. Srey Mom suffered there for 2 years, forced to have sex with 3-10 men on weekdays and up to 20 men on weekends. When she was sick, the brothel owners brought her to a doctor and she found out that she was HIV positive. The next time she visited the hospital, Srey Mom managed to escape. However, since she had no money, she began to work as a prostitute again. One day when she was at the hospital, she had no money to pay for the medication and therefore was not given any medication. WHile she was exiting from that hopsital, she fainted and fortunately for her a World Vision International staff was nearby. The staff helped her with the medication and also linked her with World Vision International. Now Srey Mom is working with World Vision and gets her medication regularly for free.

Its these kind of stories which make us wonder how different our lives are. Even though it's not her fault to be born into a poor family, she still has to endure all the pain and suffering that comes with it. She managed to escape from the nrothel when she was FIFTEEN. At fifteen, what were we doing? Complaining about our allowance? Living a happy and care-free life? So many people are suffering in this world and it's really sad when people like Srey Mom, who had no choice, have to suffer from HIV and AIDS.

I guess this camp really taught me about how sheltered a life we lead in Singapore. For most of us, we cannot even imagine what it will be like to go without food. We just went without food for 30 hours and many people were complaining about being hungry. People in Africa, Thailand and other poor countries go without food or months. Imagine if we had tried that.

I guess people nowadays do not really appreciate what we have because we are too used to having these luxuries. We seem to want more and more without thinking about what others are feeling. But our youth IS changing. Although the general public says that youth these days are becoming increasingly apathetic, I beg to differ after seeing this famine camp and all other projects being run by youths. It's truly awe-inspiring.

I really like this song and I think it's something that we should be thinking about now.

Carrie Underwood - Praying For Time

These are the days of the open hand

They will not be the lastLook around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers

This is the year of the hungry man

Whose place is in the past

Hand in hand with ignorance and legitimate excuses

The rich declare themselves poor

And most of us are not sure

If we have too much but we’ll take our chances‘Cause God stopped keeping score

I guess somewhere along the way

He must have let us all out to play

And turned his back

And all God’s children crept out the back door

And its hard to love

Theres so much to hate

Hanging onto hope

When there is no hope to speak of

And the wounded skies above

Say its much too late

Oh maybe we should all be praying for time

This is the year of the empty hand

Oh you hold onto what you can

And charity is a coat you wear twice a year

These are the days of the guilty man

The television takes a stand

And you find that what was over there

Is over here

So you scream from behind your door

Say whats mine is mine and not yours

I may have too much

But I’ll take my chances cause God stopped keeping score

And you’ll cling to the things they sold you

Did you cover your eyes when they told you

That he cant come back 'cause he has no children to come back for

And its hard to love

when theres so much to hate

And hanging onto hope

When there is no hope to speak of

And the wounded skies above

Say its much, much too late

Mm, well maybe we should all be praying for time

Btw, By Definition and EIC performed for us today!!! Really damn nice to watch By Def performing because the energy is really contagious. Well, maybe it wasn't so for my whole group. All I did was cheer and they gave the "WTF?!!" look. I guess they're just not used to my high-ness. Lols. Sad part was that Ash kept on getting off stage and shaking people's hand on THE OTHER FREAKING SIDE so I was left sitting there, deflated that I wouldn't get to shake hands with a band member of the winners of Live The Dream.A bit sad la, but it's life. Lols. See I learnt to accept everything now. EIC performed really well too, and I kind of recognise the songs but I have no idea where I have heard them before. Lols. Feels really weird when you know the lyrics but you don't know why. They were really good though. Will buy their cd to support the Singapore music scene. I am a Singaporean musician also what. Only its choral. Lols. Won't mind having a band though. It would be really fun.

9 june....
Mugging at home. I think I'm really dead for mid years cuz I can't even do the simple questions!! AHH!! Hope I don't die at the exam!

Me mugging.

My bro trying to look intelligent. Lols. Ok la he's actually quite intelligent. Don't wanna use only.

The state of my math revision. Bleh.

10 june...

Went to Sheryl's house for lunch and to do stupid stuff. Got my " I'm With Stupid" Shirt that her mum bought for our clique from Thailand. Sheryl's mum is such a nice person, with all her support during our PW times. Sheryl's dad too. Wonderful people. Received Sheryl's long-awaited postcard today!! So sweet of her. lols. Although i just saw her that morning.

The postcard!!!

The " I'm with stupid" shirt

I watched....Kungfu Panda!!!

Lols. Damn funny!! It's really worth the money. Very entertaining. Me and Mingching were kind of pigging out on the food we bought from the bakery at B1 Causeway Point. Kungfu Panda was so hilarious we couldn't stop laughing. As the Tortoise master says," Nothing happens by accident..." Lols. Nice movie to watch if you wanna get away from the stress for a while.

Managed to raid my old phone ( the one that fell into the toilet bowl) for pictures today!! Some of the pictures brought back memories I don't wanna remember but... overall it was fun. Here are some pictures I really remembered..

My Class tee!! Lols.

Baba's cake when she was leaving for Brunei for the Debating thingy. Haix.. memories best left forgotten..

The stupid stuff me and Sheryl do...

Me and my mum!!

My Dog.

The pear that looks like a pig.Lols.

K i guess that's it. Gotta go like mug again.

2008-06-06T03:42:00.000-07:00

Managed to study today. Lols. Just watched AJChoir's VoyAJe 2008 and it was so memorable!! Miss choir. Anyway, school is starting in just 2 weeks!! I guess some people will be groaning but I'm really happy. Cuz I've been stuck home doing chores and studying which is excruciatingly boring. Can't wait for school to start. Wonder whether we'll all be in mugger mode after school restarts. Last time Mingching was there to mug with me. Lols. But now I guess I just have to set my priorities right and study in school once school restarts. Have to return the CD to Colin so I kinda need to confirm with him when I'll be in school. Planning to go tomorrow but I have no idea if school will be open!! So need to confirm with someone.
98.7 FM has been getting more and more boring because they keep on playing the same songs over and over again which kind of makes me wanna shut my ears and sing nursery rhymes. It's worse that I listen to it when I'm studying which really makes me pissed. Haix.

Nothing else to say la.

2008-06-03T04:58:00.000-07:00

Lol!! Today was entertaining, with all the lightning and my dog bouncing at my house gate trying to twist the doorknob so that she can get in. really funny!! Lols. I know I sound like i torture her but no la. She really needs to learn how to be outside when there's lightning. What if noone's home to let her in?

Was watching Ellen and she put together a dance crew from her production crew to take part in Randy Jackson's America's Best Dance Crew. They really have talent and its quite fun to watch them dance. They're really good!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb1UBD4MwoE&feature=related

Managed to do some studying today. Could have done more but.... I'm a slacker. Currently lagging behind my plan by one day. Haix i really have to catch up!!!! And here I am blogging...

Nothing much to say actually.

2008-06-02T09:29:00.001-07:00

Kk i realised that some part of my previous post was a little harsh. (Those who are involved might have noticed.) I don't believe in deleting posts but i think that you're not stubborn, its just that you've too many things on your mind. I might not be stable but I'll manage. I dunno who to turn to and nobody will try.
Jut wanna say that FRIENDS will always be there for you. As long as we're still friends we'll try.

HAPPIER THINGS!!!! I think Sheryl's mum came back from Thailand le cuz Sheryl has seen the t-shirts her mom bought for us. She's so nice!!! Sometimes I wonder if i deserve it .
Nice treatment from friend's parents are always nice, lols. Currently tryin to make my own blog skin!! Dying!! Cuz it's like so irritating especially today when my computer keep refusing to open any of the websites. At least it didnt spazz anynore after i restarted it. Really hoping that it'll be successful. Decided to use a base template from some skin on blogskins cuz its complicating. And I dun have so much time. A'S!!! Die. Need to seriously mug so that can do well. Mugmugmugmugmugmugmugmugmugmugmugmug.

2008-06-02T08:22:00.001-07:00

Learning more about other people has really made me feel that life dealt me all the easy stuff. Of course not everyone tells me everything, but, i dont expect it to be that way. But i still think that I've gotten life easy. All I have to do is wake up early and come to school. To me, other people have so many things to worry about that I dont seem to have. And that's a good thing for me. I guess I'm not that stressed about everything. Cuz other than studies I dont really have things to worry about. I guess it makes me feel a little insecure cuz, i keep on thinking that sooner or later, I'm just going to get whacked in the face with all life's problems. I still remember a certain time not very long ago when Mingching and me and Quanhui we going out regularly. I always got it easy until one time when i was ABOUT to hit rough waters ( to kindle your memory for mingching: my brother). But i still managed to put my life in order, avoiding all the hurdles, potholes and speed bumps. Luckily. I cant imagine if i hadnt. Still thinking to those times when we had so much to worry about. It was so freaky but i guess it IS part of our destiny and part of who we are.( although we havent changed much in that sense but there are less problems: well i have less anyway) Life's not meant to be fully understood. Sorry for the extreme blurness of what I'm saying for those who don't understand.
I'm exhausted from handling other ppl's problems. Frankly, I'm glad ppl come to me for advice but i really cant help when the person insists on putting themselves thru living hell over and over again!! I need someone to talk to who's not related to lun,sher and sam but where the heck am I gonna find someone like that? The sopranos are alr too closely related to my life and the fact that shena and my clique alr have links; I'm not a risk-taker. Not close to any altos tenors or basses, and it's not like anyone is gonna step up and help me deal with it. Hurts alot but what can I say? Some ppl are stubborn.

2008-05-26T05:20:00.001-07:00

Heyhey!!! Holidays are finally here. Well, not really holiday for people who are going oh-my-god-a-level-is-less-than-half-a-year-away-panic-mug-panic (eg. me) but you get the picture.

Concert was really a blast!!! I really miss how we were all rushing back stage trying to make the concert good for the audience. How Crystal was in such a rush she forgot to wear her white tee while changing from king and i to surrey. That was hilarious, although we didnt think it was at that time. I really miss practicing for the concert too. And all the rehearsing at the Esplanade before our concert. Really really miss the time when all the soloists went on stange to practice their solos and when Zhenkai sang his solo from " No Importa La Distancia" everyone out there started singing. Really a magical moment i will not give up for anything in the world. I'll really miss this VoyAJe 2008 : Notes On The Road considering that THERE WILL NOT BE ANY VOYAJE NEXT YEAR!!! School's idea since its the 25th anniversary. Going to have some big celebration will all aesthetics and therefore no aesthetics group is allowed to have a concert. Haix. I was really looking forward to next year's VoyAJe as both Jenna and Cindy are really good at choreo and the J1s are as willing to do choreo as us. Was awaiting a spectacular concert even bigger than this one. And now all we have is the annivesary.

Onto funnier things, we depleted the Opportunity Fund for this year!!! Lols. I didn't know there was depletion to speak of. Lols. But I think that, if not for the school or other CCAs that wanted to apply for the Opp Fund, the trip really benefitted all of us who went. Great experience.
The J1s are going to China next year!! Or is it this year? Not entirely sure. But I'm glad that their going SOMEWHERE!! At least they dont have to just sit and moan that they have no VoyAJe. Really sad for them.

Closure for the J2s was delivered in the form of a speech by Mr Toh. He cried!! and so did a lot of people. I'm really glad that I chose to join choir. SO many conditions were against my decision : late nights, long hours, heavy commitment. But lucky for me, I had the support of my parents. At the beginning anyway. It wavered but its standing strong again. And you know what's the happiest thing? That the same journey (not the same as in place, time or condition, but same in the form of effort, love and hopefully results) will be shared by the current batch of J1s and more juniors to come.

All of us are part of the AJChoir legacy.

2008-05-04T04:41:00.000-07:00

Haix. Exams are coming!!! Now we're having all our skill As for Chem and Physics. Just done Physics. I guess it was ok unless I made any huge conceptual error. In that case I'm fried.

Concert's coming up!! I'm so excited. Everyone especially the choreo com has put a lot of work into the songs for the second half. It's going to be great!! Can't wait.

Went for band concert Spiritanto recently. It was quite nice. They sounded better than last year and they did more antics on than in the previous concert. We didn't yell much, but we did have one for alvin. We went " It's Alvin!!" and Mingching went "No Bitch!!" which kind of freaked us out. The next day Ms Leong was like " there were many roudy ppl yelling at the concert" and me, Sher and Sam were looking down and sniggering. Quite confirm that she heard it because the rest of 0707 was sitting in front of her and they heard it. Oh welll....

Got another morning announcement tomorrow. My lines are not as spastic as before.

Kk. Going to watch Funny Games USA. Hope it's scary.

2008-04-11T02:54:00.000-07:00

Finally blogging again. Havent Blogged for like, a really long time. We got back our PW results. I got a freaking B. Haix. For the effort my group put in, we deserve more than that. But too bad. I guess we're just so bad at what we do that even hard work couldn't save us. My class had 5 As and the rest all got Bs. Everyone else I know (who's not in my class) seems to have gotten an A. Man we really suck at this.

Italy was a blast.It was really fun. Learnt alot, laughed alot, got scolded alot. Enough said. Just did a page-reflection and not in the mood to do another one. Nothing to blog about currently. Practicing for our concert on 18 May at the Esplanade. Ticket sales are starting next week. Dunno if I have any sort of role as of yet. Was asked but I dunno cuz that song just became a J1 chorus.

Why is everything in turmoil? I guess it's settling down but for some reason I feel that it's never going to be the same for us. Everyone who's involved are sick and tired of it and personally I am too. I'm just hoping it ends but someone keeps digging up the problem for no apparent reason at all.Even if we want to drop it we're not being allowed to. Haix.

ELearning really sucks. It tends to lag and now it's finally broken down. Well done. Lols. Just wanted to say that.

Currently missing the good life in secondary school. Of course I wasn't as dedicated to my CCA, wasn't close to some of my friends, but on the bright side there weren't as many fights due to external parties, no people hurt due to lack of understanding of misinformation.

Guess there's nothing I can do cuz life's moved on and all that's happened has happened.

As James Blunt put it..."its more than just words, its just tears and rain."

Damn I'm sappy.

2008-02-02T00:07:00.000-08:00

Haix. I seriously have no idea what to do now for the fundraising thing. Our carwash was rejected because both ms yiak and mrs yim think it's too PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTIVE. Damn it we're doing a carwash not rockclimbing!! Anyway, now we have to think of new ideas for it. Still thinking. I wonder if we had just done the first idea we thought of it might have at least come to fruition. Looks like that is probably what we're going to be doing now too. Cuz Mr Toh told me that we should find sponsors so sponsor stuff like food or jewellery of something and he told me to contact Jasmine to find out how to go about doing it. Jas however said that we should just sell things like DIY stuff ( which was the first idea that we though it was rejected cuz AJE is also selling things.)SO I FREAKING DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder why i got myself into this in the first place. Then I remember who it's for. That is why I'm still using the Net trying to find ways to raise funds. And the worst thing is, someone replied to the ad that i put up for external performances. Today. After we ditched the idea. But i'm not telling him anything yet until we confirm that we're doing something else to raise funds. AHHHH!!!!

On a better note, Valentines' Day is coming! Time to send roses to people and make wild expressions of love across AJSquare!!! Lol. Must save $$ now. Damn sian in school now. Have to continue mugging since there are so many tests coming. Going to DIE.

Lol gtg now.

2008-01-20T06:18:00.000-08:00

Ahhh! finally get to post. Lol. Full of choir and all that this year. Wen tto steamboat with Alfred and Mingching!! Had loads of fun with that super hot steamboat. But it was great and we had a lot of laughter. He got a book from Chris and we were laughing about Mingching being a shopaholic. School's been going fine and the new juniors are great! At least they put in some effort to learn the songs (though they could put in more). Learning Water Night and Iddemdem Mallida for the competition in ITALY!!! Can't wait to go but currently too busy to daydreram on what to do there. SL is coming up and we're planning some fund-raising for the trip since not everyone can afford to go. Hope it works cuz some of us have been thinking long and hard about it (me, Shena, Angela, Kangting and Xiaoping). Going to plan more tomorrow. Really hope it works:)

2007-12-21T09:06:00.000-08:00

Went KBoxing today. As in, singing at kbox not really kickboxing. With Youying, Mingching and Chun Meng. It was really fun and we sang a lot of songs. Me and Mingching purposely mucked up a song and Youying came back telling us that she and Chn Meng heard weird screaming when they were near the toilet but didn't realise it was us until they came nearby. Loled alot especially when Stickwitu went " Nobody gonna treat me better, I'm A STICK WITH YOU forever." Wanted to sing First Noel but didn't have the time. Total price came to a whopping $94.16. So YY owes money.lol.

Went to AJ-CJ combined band concert AND I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I DID!!! And I also can't believe that I started it. It all started with us yelling "Sam!!". We realised it was a bit dull so after the interval we yelled " Samantha Sharmala Selva Dorai!!" ( Lawson and Mingching had to read her name of the pamphlet cuz it was too hard to memorise). Then we decided that Alvin needed something. And I remembered what Sheryl told me a few days ago from the movie Alvin and The Chipmunks about Theodore yelling down the vacuum cleaner (which Alvin had been sucked into) calling out to Alvin. So when Alvin( the conductor, not the chipmunk) came out for the encore, we yelled (In a questioning voice)"Alvin? Alvin? AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" ( which are Theodore's exact words as he too gets sucked into the vacuum cleaner.)I can tell you, for a group of 4 people, we were really loud. As in, the whole Cultural Center turned to look at us. If the Cultural Center itself had eyes I'm sure it would have looked at us. And what's worse, Alvin turned and LOOKED DIRECTLY AT US. Damn freaky. I think only a small percentage laughed because they recognised it from the movie. I think most of them laughed cuz we did it in such a authentic, high- pitched way that was certainly hair-raising. After that we went to find Sam to confirm that she heard it. We did it one more time and suddenly Alvin came through the back stage door ( I have this funny feeling that he heard us doing the imitation and wanted to see who it was.) When he saw us, he was like " Alot of friends you have" to Sam. Like Yoda from Star Wars. Damn awkward moment. But he was smiling so I seriously think he knows it was us. Well, I hope he does to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks. The weirdest thing was, when I looked directly at him ( you tend to do that when you just finished doing a stunning impression) and I actually saw a nice guy. I don't know why. ( don't kill me, Sam and Mingching). I really don't know why, but it's almost like he doesn't want to be nice not because he isn't nice, but because he doesn't want people to take advantage of his kind nature and slack in band or whatever. I think that maybe he thinks that being too nice is a sign of failure or weakness.I don't know cuz I don't really have a problem being nice or not nice. But what I'm sure of is that there's more to him than meets the eye. And in a good way. Don't get me wrong, I'm not falling in love of anything. Just think that niceness is not really something you should hide. On another note, Tengcheong is not pimply anymore!! And he looked way much better than last time. The CCHY saxophonists Christine, Joyce and Chijie were also there sitting in front of us beside 2 people who were obviously becoming extremely irritated with the screaming going on behind them.

Lol. I do think that today was worth the $33 I spent in KBox and Sam's concert. It's not everyday you can find friends who will really yell " Alvin? Alvin? AHHHHHHH!!!" when you tell them to and actually do it like they meant it. I have to say, I am surrounded by a great bunch of people and I do hope that I'll be as lucky as I am now in the future.

What more can I say? I'm surrounded by angels. And I would give anything to relive that united screaming moment.

2007-12-06T21:51:00.000-08:00

Finally get free time when my brother's not hogging the computer.Lol.
Saw my friend from primary school on Wednesday. And the worse thing was, I couldn't remember his name. Still can't. And that's what's bothering me, because I've always been trying to forget everything that happened in primary school. I wasn't exactly a nice person and I don't like thinking that I could've been such an utter bitch. But now that I'm wishing so much that I could remember everything from primary school, I can't. It isn't painful, but I just can't seem to remember anything important that happened in those six years. It's irritating because not all of it was bad. In fact, from my point of view it was actually quite fine. Until I looked at it from another point of view and realised that I wasn't exactly being a kind of person I wanted to be. Still, not all of it was bad. AND I SERIOUSLY FORGOT HIS NAME. So I could just smile and pray he doesn't ask me if I remember him. He was one of my good friends in primary school, together with the other people I used to hang out with. Damn.

On another note, I just watched Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix and HSM2. I know the movies came out like eons ago but hey, at least I watched it. Both movies are great though. especially HP. Tom Felton's looking better and I SOOOOO love Luna Lovegood. Originally I didn't think she would actually live up to the looniness I expected from Luna but she really did very well. She is officially my fav character. Lol.

Met up with Mingching and did maths. I think I'm seriously going to die at A levels. There's this one question that's so FON( full of nonsense, otherwise known as the 3 most electronegative elements on this planet). I do need to buck up. ALOT. Mingching did this weird magic trick thing that's so lame I broke a leg (that's a joke). Ask me and I'll show you. My father actually topped it's lameness by applauding. Looks like it runs in my family.

I want to go out. Currently have no reason to but I'm rotting at home. And I'm so bored I'm doing maths. Can't take it I think I'm going to scream. *AFKs for a moment. Sound of breaking glass from opposite room.* That felt better.

Anyway here's something funny.

Had choir yesterday. It was super fun cuz we started to learn Kucinta. It was difficult but we managed to finish learning the difficult parts in the song. It's almost like Zachariah Goh closed his eyes and scribbled the manuscript and then opened his eyes and did minor corrections. Almost every note was accompanied with an accidental. But we survived through the parts. It's a good song to remind us of the equal importance of all four parts of a choir cuz sometimes we tend to forget it when we're singing the melody all the time. Well, I tend to forget anyway, not faulting the rest of them:)

Went to the memorial concert for Samuel Ting, Mr Kwei's conductor when he was a choir boy on 28 nov. Really inspirational to see how one teacher can affect a single student so much that he remembers you for the rest of his life. I bet that's how all teachers want to feel. Now I feel kind of guilty for forgetting some of my teachers, especially from my primary school even though they've played such an important role in nurturing me as a student and a person. On to lighter things, I saw Justin from Tock Seng at the concert. Actually, I was sitting beside him! Me, Kangting, Shona, Shena,Hazel, Youying and Zong Yi ran all the way from Cartel cuz we were going to be late. Went into VCH and there were seats at the front. Had to squeeze past 2 guys to get to the seats and when I looked at one of them I was so sure that was Justin. But he looked at me and showed no glint of recognition. So the whole of the first half I spent contemplating whether it was him. Of course, I paid attention to the music too. VJ( Mr Kwei's oldest choir) started the concert and boy, they were good. Then there was a solo by this guy who even "Ah" ed on pitch, sending Zong Yi into a fit of giggles. Then the Herald Choir Society started singing. They were all Chinese songs but it was quite nice. After the last song I turned to Kangting and told her how it was killing me that the guy I was sitting beside looks so familiar when Justin went," Thi, is that you?"(cue to laugh). Serious punchline material. Turns out his TPJC friend invited him to the concert and that's why he was here. Lol. Came back for second half and he and his friend were gone. Angela had come late so now she sat with us. TPJC( his second oldest choir) opened the second half and after that there was a solo by a power sop from the Herald Choir Society. She got super vibrato until we couldn't understand what she was singing. Moreover, a well-timed sneeze from the audience just as she paused to take a breath sent us into giggles. After that they had a combined choir of all the performers and they sang a few songs. Overall the concert was quite nice and, in the smplest sense, sweet. It's nice when students take their time off to honour their teachers. We had a camwhoring session until I started rushing cuz I wanted to reach home that day itself, which meant before 11:59:59 pm. I reached home at 12:10 tho.

Day 2:Kayak 3
After morning PT and breakfast we went for our next lesson in kayaking. Today we were going to learn more about the boats we're going to use for the expedition : the Amaruks and Crosswinds( which are orange). Our group had to take two Penguins (single kayaks) so my pairing changed to me and Chun Meng. Again we got stuck at a pontoon and had to be saved cuz we were drifting quite far and according to Iskandar we were drifting into a tanker ( i think this pontoon and having to be saved thing must be my fault). Today we learnt how to save ourselves during mass capsize, how to tow each other, how to clip onto the anchor boey and channel crossing. Damn tired after that. Legs couldn't function. And we were still last boat for raft-up (where all the boats line up in water). Then we had a CX (sea expedition) briefing. We have to kayak DAMN FAR. Like today we only kayaked 6 km. But no choice have to chiong on day 4.

FUNNY THINGS TAHT HAPPENED ON SECOND DAY
Chun Meng's damn random. During kayaking she suddenly said ," wah the chair wet for so long our butts are going to become wrinkly." Super random la I was just stunned for a while. But it wasn't true.Lol. We played Indian Poker again. Eugene had to do forfeit so we forced Vera's bra on him. Filmed and took pics too. Lol. Hope he wasn't emotionally scarred. It was hilarious on our part.

2007-11-24T01:13:00.001-08:00

AHHHHHH!!! Finally back at home from OBS 9-day course. Super tired still cuz we never had enough sleep over the days. Time to update....

DAY ONE- Intro and Kayak 1
We met our watches today. I'm in Tock Seng (named after Tan tock Seng) and Sheryl's in Elizabeth (named after Elizabeth Choy, war hero). First thing we did was trust fall. A bit afraid but trust is one thing a geoup must have from the beginning to succeed. Got to know the bunch- Vera, Anuja( from MJ OG), Chen Yan( Sheryl's friend), Amanda, Raihanna, Brenda (from AJ OG), Chun Meng ( the Econs genius), Priscilla, Justin, Eugene, Dong Xing, Jenson, Edward, Yi Feng and Gerald. I was partnering Yi Feng for kayaking . We kept on getting stuck near the pontoon!!! Damn irritating, but we finally managed to save ourselves from there. We practiced capsize drill which was quite fun except for the fact that when the sea water goes into your nose, all the mucus comes out...yuck. After that we bathed, ate and then went for Dimensions of Leadership Profile course. It's supposed to teach us more about what kind of leader I am and I'm supposedly a leader who focuses on character and interaction which means I'm more concerned with ensuring that my members are commited, like to interact and make sure they learn something from their experience. It was quite interesting and I did learn more about what kind of situations require leaders like me and what are my failing points that I have to watch out for.
FUNNY THINGS THAT HAPPENED ON FIRST DAY:
Jenson went into the girl's toilet!!! Anuja saw Jenson enter the toilet and automatically walked past it to enter the next toilet. Vera stopped her and pointed out that the toilet Jenson entered Was the girl's toilet. They both rushed in to see Jenson almost closing the cubicle door. He quickly rushed out. Later he mantioned that he was wondering why the toilet had no urinals. Genius. And we played a few rounds of idiot-proof Indian poker.

Gotta go now, will update on the other days next time.
Ciao!!

AHHHH! Tomorrow got OBS. For NINE days. But I kind of brought it upon myself. I think it's going to be real fun with all the CIP in Batam and the high elements and not to forget, the kayaking to Batam!! Really can't wait for the kayaking. Lol.

Today went to Chua Chu Kang Neighbourhood Police Center(CCKNPC) to do CIP with Sheryl. We spent the morning arranging the Case Exhibit Room. Everything inside is confidential but everything was such a mess. Worse than my table. Even worse than my hair. Oh the horror. But it was actually quite fun arranging the stuff and they have tons and tons of paper. Lol.

Went lunch with the Police guys and both of us were treated to Sakae Sushi. By the boss of CCK NPC himself. We both ate Tempura Udon. Then Kenny, the guy we liaised with to come for CIP, bought this whole sushi plate like thing that's or 8 ppl. Then he and the boss ate that plate. Left like 6 pieces. And the boss paid, the nice man. Lol. Then when we went back we told Kenny that we didn't pay for our food. Then he was like," I also didn't pay for the food."

Then about 2.30 we started doing their survey. As in, doing their survey for them. They gave us a list of names and they told us to randomly answewr the survey for them. Damn funny. Since Sheryl was the one filling up the form, some of the police ppl have apparently become interested in taking up dancing as a sport. Hilarious man. We finished in 5 minutes so then we just left. An hour early.

Overall it was a satisfying CIP day with all the cleaning up. Now, to divert that energy to cleaning up my table....

Maybe another day.

Okokok finally I HAVE TIME TO UPDATE!!!

Weiteng: I know I don't know you that well but it still pains me to see a classmate go. will miss you cuz your " DoTA-is-my-life" clique is incomplete without you. Wish you good luck in whatever you do and i hope you keep it touch with this class that you've spent one year with. Keep on choinging ok? All the best in your future!!

Guowei: What can I say? I'll surely miss him and his everything. He's one of the first choir peeople to remember my name ( and the one who can't remember Angela's name!! Tsktsk:)) anw, I"LL MISS YOU!!!! he's just a great guy with a lot of comments to make and says 'hi thilaiga' in his super-low voice. does really really really good art. always has creative ideas and is great with all kinds if arty stuff. I'oll seriously miss that bimbo-ish guy who simply lurves gossiping ND Mkes choir all the more fun. Good luck in whatever you do ok and follow your heart. Love ya!!!:)

Well, life is all about following your heart. The only way to live is to learn and the only way to learn is to live. It's as simple as that, learn from your mistakes and move on. Haiz, I'm seriously going to miss those people but, we all know we worked hard this year, whatever the path we are given to follow. Everyone has a part to play, and it doesn't mean that only people who go a certain path can be considered successful. Even a poor man is successful. He learnt how to enjoy life with simple pleasures, he learnt that not everything can be bought by money, and that there are some things that you can only learn when you have no money. So everyone learns what they have been given to learn, and those who resist their path are given another path. That's how life goes i guess, simple yet complex at the same time.

Sorry for crapping.

2007-10-27T22:52:00.000-07:00

I guess that over one year, you never know what can affect you. As Shuhao once blogged(i think so) you only feel what's missing after it's gone. And now three ppl are missing: Shirley, Weiteng and Guowei. I am really going to miss all the time I spent with this ppl. Minimal time I guess, but time all the same. So here it is.

Shirley: Darling I'm going to miss you. You're almost like a mother to all of us and it really hurts to see you go. Miss all those times during Econs when we'd suan Hueman together. Still remember the" No, its not monopoly. Yes that's the answer! monopoly!" or something to that effect. And all the lame jokes that you manage to tell without laughing which makes it a whole lot funnier. Also remember making the donut with you during CDP and going to find seashells when we found that handphone!! And ty for helping us with our PW at Vir's house! Much appreciated..But we're sure that you'll rock SP Psychology course!!! And the way it's going, you'll have a lot of clients next time. Mostly from AJ 0707! We'll really miss you dreamie the monster. But wherever you go, all the best and I hope that you'll be happy in SP!!

Crap I gotta go now. Will finish this dedication soon!!

2007-10-19T05:07:00.000-07:00

So WR has finally been handed up! So darn happy that our last draft showed distinct improvement cuz we were on the verge of getting demoralised when Draft 3 didn't work out. So happy la. But now there's still OP and I&R. Today we had OP remedial( I guess we can call it remedial) and Shaun( the coach) was saying stuff like," On 17 August construction work in Singapore stopeed as all the Bangladeshis went to see Muhammad Yunus." Damn funny la. He also gave us constuctive criticism and told us what else we can put in our slides to make it better. He was really nice and treated us like equals instead of kids. Ms Daljit Kaur was damn weird la. She was like," We're treating you like adults, kids." So we were confused with regards to the purpose of that sentence. Lol.

Choir is starting up again. I really hope that I can go for all the carolling sessions this year cuz I'm not very sure if I'm going to Italy. Since Dad was like," What did you eat that make you so stupid?". Lol. So my trip is like still not confirmed. I passed everything and, as sad as this may sound, I actually think its ok cuz I PASSED ECONS. Which really made my day cuz I really wrote and wrote and wrote until the last minute. To me, my results are ok but to my high-flier dad its trash. Haix. Anyway I'm going to enjoy my time in choir and make the most of the time I have. You can't buy lost time. So.... ya.

Gotta go now. Will update about my sorry life.

2007-10-11T03:53:00.000-07:00

Yesterday morning did PW at Vir's house. Quite ok we got a lot done. Vir couldn't do her slides yet cuz afl wants to talk to our group about the limitations. So we did me, Sher's and Sam's slides. Couldn't finish. So have to do today.

CDP was fun yesterday. We just kept building and building and building until we completed it la and it was damn fun to see the whole class working together for once. AHSHIBA WASN'T HERE. That girl ar.. she missed out on the fun la. We built a class tee as our centre hub cuz it represents our class. I think it really represents our class cuz we're not like always bonded so for one day we worked damn hard to create our masterpiece. Although Garrett spoilt our class tee by standing on it. Damn sad la. But nevermind. I got a B for tamil. Go figure.

Today gotta do emailing and all the rest for PW. Been working damn hard so IT BETTER PAY OFF. Anyway. Rereading Fearless. Sally's books. Still need to return them to her. Oh well. Choir's been fun but I keep coming late.So sad. Can't wait for open house though. But I didn't tell any choristers from CCHY. Mainly 'cause I wasn't in choir and ths do not have their contacts and also bcuz Weishan has lost all their contacts too and basically I don't have Yijun's contacts. So no CCHY choristers. LAWSON SUCCESSFULLY DSAED TO AJBAND! Not bad ar my junior. Lol. But why he chose Aj is beyond my thinking capabilities.Lol.

I'm hoping some CCHY ppl will come tomorrow. Maybe I'll see some familiar faces. I hope but I doubt. Lol. From outside Aj looks like a nice school but actually it's quite tough and you have to mg really hard. But if you strive hard can make it. Lose hair only.

OK gotta go.

2007-09-28T00:25:00.000-07:00

Today I learnt a lot.
How blind am I?
Physics and other stuff.
No wonder she never wants to come back.
A LOT OF STUFF.
I need strength to deal with what I've learnt. Where can I FIND IT?
Hope that she's happy now.
She should be happier than she would've been here.
Really miss my cousins. Mainly Nisha and Aravind. Nish is overseas now still studying her A levels. According to her, in Perth, you only have to study one year for As. But she didn't do well the first year so she went back to study another year. Is that the real reason?
Wishing she'll come back end of this year. And hoping that just me, my bro and Nish and aravind can go somewhere and spend the day doing nonsense. Miss both of them alot. The last time they came down was very long ago. Feels like an eternity ago.
Went to their new house like once or twice so farTheir place is nice. But the feel isn't right.
Miss my aunt I guess. Seven years since she's been gone. She could have lived longer.
My cousins almost don't feel like my cousins anymore. But we still have a blood relation.
My aunt was really sick at that time. She might not have lived very long. But it's not their right. She survived the heart attack she had.SHE COULD HAVE LIVED.
On another note though, I really think I'm going to fail physics. I did two past year papers but failed both of them. Trying to work hard so I don't fail it cos I cant confirm a pass in Maths.
aybe Mingching's help will help. Haven't confirmed yet but I think I'm meeting him on Monday to do Maths. Chem's ok. Chem is officially the easiest H2. But it's not very easy.
MUST GET PROMOTED!!!

2007-09-26T02:01:00.000-07:00

Today was an ok day I guess. Mugging all the way. Maths can be a real pain in the ass you know. Especially Application of Integration and Differential Equations. But I finally figured out Differential Equations with help of Zirui and Benson. They're full of shit. Spent one whole maths lesson making super difficult integration problems up and solving them. And they could solve it!!! We were here thinking they were going to take like 10 years but nope, barely 10 minutes. Sam and I spent our time bitching about Dipsy. And doing maths of course. Just more of the bitching.
Just realised that someone I know is probably in a lot of pain. Hit me that everything I'm going through is nothing compared to the world of pain people are going through in their own lives. And yet I cry everytime I face a mundane, low-level problem. I think, am I that weak that I can't find an easy solution to any problem I face? When there are so many people out there going through unsolvable problems and imcomprehensible pain, I can't even bear problems from something as simple as replacing my times with other friends because a group member can't make it for PW? I'm ashamed of myself. Not because I cry. You should never be ashamed of crying. But I think underneath it all, it shows my weakness of not being able to cope with small problems. And it really scares me. Cuz I realise that there's nothing I can do to help that person and I have to watch by the sidelines while that person puts up a front everyday while inside that person's crumbling inside.

2007-09-24T08:07:00.000-07:00

AHHHH!!!!! How could this happen?!?!? How the hell can I be so careless?!?!?!

It all started after PE. After some fun at PE due to our wacky couple dance, Ahshiba, Sheryl and I went to change to our ugly elephant-skin school uniform. I put my phone and my wallet on my elephant-skin shirt and started changing. Pulled at my shirt. Wallet fell on the floor. Not bad enough. HANDPHONE FALLS INTO THE TOILET BOWL!!!!!

Thank god the toilet wasn't like, used. Quickly extricated and washed my phone. That's when it started to go haywire. First, visual goes (although blank white screen appears after some repeated banging of the phone on the auditorium tables during Econs lecture by Weilun and Sheryl). Suddenly vibrates. Great. Received message when my phone is giving me divine white light instead of my regular wallpaper. Borrow Sheryl's phone, answer to message and tell mom my phone's fried. Return Sheryl her phone. Continue banging phone and trying to switch it on throughout remaining lecture. Goes on during PW lecture. Only hit jackpot at end of the day when the images appear on my phone screen during Physics remedial. Whoops with joy. Then it runs out of battery due to the repeated on-ing and off-ing. Darn.

Almost opened my big fat mouth about my secrets again. Lucky Sher was still talking so i just shut up.Cant rmb wat the topic was about that made me almost say it.

At least it works.

2007-09-19T05:21:00.000-07:00

Finally got time to blog!!! I am officially panicking, what with PW and promos and all the random stuff. Hope I do well and at least get promoted or I'm going to be real sad. Banking on passing Math, Chem and Phy.Econs........ dunno la. Try my best I guess. Wish I was clever like Mingching but sadly I am of lower intelligence. So sad. But I must work harder and not blog. No idea how people find time to blog. Scary.

PW is in a mess. Interviewed Mr Toh about our project and his best advice is to scrap the idea. Die la. But ST sas we have to " defend our grounds." And Ms-Intelligent-ST just told us that the words in diagrams are counted. NOW ONLY SHE TELL US. WE"VE BEEN SCAMMED FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS!!! Die. We'll overshoot like shit. Die. Die. Die. Then Er's group also used a lot of diagrams and they already overshot by 1.5K words. But theirs is damn good la. All ME with one being a high ME. My group is probably all AE la. Die. And on top of that we overshot words. DIE.
Why is everything crashing down as I speak? Am I gonna fail promos. Probably.I'm just so happy all the time that I never stop to feel pain. I guess its crashin down on me now when I'm vulnerable with all the PW shit. At least my primary school past is not coming back to haunt me. then I'd just die and go to hell. Dont see the incentive of living sometime cuz when I die, Im probably just going to hell. Im afraid to reveal some of the secrets that will make my friends run. Only some ppl like Mingching know so its ok. But for someone who doesnt like keeping secrets, i sure have a lot. I almost told some ppl but caught myself. Ppl probably think im spastic the way i start talking and then stop and shake my head and catch myself mid-sentence. I guess its better that way. Or i'll just be a loner.

Promos is so damn close! I can almost smell it... ok actually I can't but WHO CARES?!?!? The schooldays-pretending-to-be-holidays have officially started. GP test was a killer today.I kept o falling asleep and stoning. Hope I don't get like-shit marks. Crap gotta go now though. Hope I have tijme to blog again real soon.

2007-09-01T01:45:00.000-07:00

I need to blog more. So here is a post.

10 things that piss me off
1. People degrading themselves when it's so FUCKING obvious that they're better that what they are making to be.
2. People who go out of the way to show they hate others.
3. People who prefer revenge to forgiveness.
4. People who refuse to cooperate but complain.
5.People who stand around wasting time not doing anything.
6.People who think the only way to make everything better is by removing themselves from the equation.
7.Project work.
8. The fact that some teachers try so hard but noone appreciates them.
9. People not handing in Physics homework.
10. People going," you didn't give me the worksheet!" instead of "I forgot to take the worksheet from you."

As you can see, this week has been crappy. From scotchtape to Weilun being an arse to project work to project work (two incidents). Ms Ang wants our WR by Monday. She's trying so hard that I take everything I've said about her. I'm really trying but my group ca't seem to find a time to meet up and do it. So now I'm like doing the changes that Ms Ang wanted. A bit sad but , hey, I can make any change I want! It's a plus. I think.

Anyway.

Usual school days pretending to be holidays are coming up next week. Have to go to school on everyday except Friday. It's not that bad I guess. I get to see everyone in school. But I can't stay at home and provide my dog with the "undivided attention"(quote Mr Ng) that I promised her. She looks so forlorn with her please-play-with-me-and-my-ball-that-does-not-look-like-a-ball-due-to-all-the-times-I-chewed-it look. It's so sad.

Screw JC.

2007-08-19T00:46:00.000-07:00

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS PEOPLE?!?!?
Ok maybe I can understand if the people eating dogs we stranded on an island with no food at all and in dire need for it. Why would people eat man's best friend? I got shocked at the pic I saw when I googled images of dogs. It hurts me to see people carving and removing the insides of an animal that is the same species of the animal that I play with every day I get home. People in the Phillipines believe in killing and eating dogs when someone is faced with bad luck or if a death is witnessed. And I'm like ok, maybe its religious so it's accepted within the country. THEN, i read about dogs being an appetiser along with an alchoholic beverage. On top of that, within the Phillipines, dog meat is cheaper than other meat and therefore it is popular.
The dogs die painful deaths, either by starvation and dehydration during travelling or by being hit on the head several times at the slaughterhouses. Their blood is also collected and sold.

And here we're trying to protect them bysending to the SPCA and other homes. So we wonder, what is wrong with this people? They eat dog just so their alcohol will taste better. And on top of that, the authority are easily bribed into letting them through during checks.

More is said in the below article. Beware of gory pictures.

2007-08-18T22:26:00.001-07:00

My keyboard feel foreign under my hands today. Oh well , I did fall asleep on it yesterday. Have to do tons of PW today. Kinda tired but hey, when have I ever been fully awake in my life?
Anyway I did a lot of thinking and I finally decided that I haven't been contributing enough for PW. I mean, I can fall asleep on my keyboard. So I'm going to chiong it today.

And I got something to say about branding today. You know when people call you something mean and the name sticks? Yup that's branding. A form of stereotyping. And not everyone can take i. So ppl out there, just because I can take people calling me fat, doesn't mean the whole world can. So hold your tongue when necessary.

And this brings us to racist jokes. I'm damn tolerant but some people in my class can't really control their mouths and Im afraid that they're going to get killed in some foreign country by some people. To me, it's just a joke and I take it that way but there are many people who can't take these jokes and these guys in my class are going to get whacked.

Chatting with my primary good friend now. Miss him a lot. In fact I miss everyone from that time cuz it was the one time I wasn't studying at all. I know I always say that I miss them but... that's the truth. Lost contact with those who are studying in Malaysia now.. nevermind I should shut up now or my blog is going to just sound sad.

Gotta go now. But i think I'm going to blog one more time today.

2007-08-11T06:23:00.000-07:00

2007-08-06T00:22:00.000-07:00

On the school library com ( and obviously at school) waiting for my GP remedial to start. Out of all people who could have GP remedial it's me. Damn. Anyway, Shena and Cicillia are joining me and Kangting today. More people to talk to. Hehe. Have to miss part of choir though. Sad. I think we're going to learn more about our end-year carolling. Can't wait it's going to be great! Hope we sing nice songs...

Anyway.

Top Ten embarassing Situations

1. Five years old: I was bouncing on my bed when I bounced off it and landed on the floor. Unglam.
2. Seven years old: My skirt fell off in the school bus. (YIKES!!!)
3. Ten years old: Caught copying spelling form my friend. ( Embarassing cuz, I've never been caught before )
4. Twelve years old: Made to stand at the flagpole ( and thereafter becoming a permanet fixture there) for not doing any of my June Holiday homework.
5. Thirteen years old: Was extremely late for my first day and therefore subjected to 41 stares form the class.
6. Forteen years old: Went on stage to sing a Chinese song with 2 of my other friends ( you DONT wanana know how that went)
7. Fifteen years old: Fell down at camp (ok, i was desperate for something this year)
8. Sixteen years old: Forgot a quarter of the lyrics for "Superstar" by Jamelia. ( But my group still won so...)
9. Sixteen years old:Was the first to cry onstage when making my Thank-You speech for Band Farewell '06.
10. Seventeen years old: Too many to count.:)

Ok. So I'm not the most embarrassed person on Earth. Sad eh? But I got enough Happy times and that is what really matters:):):):):)

Painted my toenails two different shades of pink. Not that obvious though. Bought new shoes cuz my old one could join Debate and Oratorical Society.( as in, it could talk.)

Gotta go do Integration. Bye.

And my WR never got printed. Waited for HALF an hour for it to print.

ok bye.

2007-08-05T09:51:00.000-07:00

it's like....12 53 am and I'm doing PW WR. This really sucks man. I'm so damn tired. Sadly , i only received the thing around 10 so I missed Ugly Betty and Lost:3 to do this crap. And my conclusion really is crap... Welll.. Waiting for my printer to print the 20 pages of work. My computer is not co-operating and that thing hasn't even started printing yet. So tired. And it still hasn't started. Damn.

Gotta restart my com and try again.

2007-08-03T06:16:00.000-07:00

AHH!!! Audition is not working!!!!!!!!

Pardon me. Just been weird lately. Been mugging and my lame jokes are becoming lamer. Don't know what the hell is wrong with me.

I think I'm going to cut my hair short.

This has nothing to do with being weird. It's way easier to manage. But when I told my bro, he gave me the I-dont-want-a-sister-that-looks-like-a-boy look. So its tentative.

Funny how rumours pass in choir. Gets changed easily. Doesn't really matter though:)

IM BEING MEGADRAINED. I think it's partially because of the studying and partially because I keep on hanging out with clever people like Amanda. Damn scary.

Mr Ng asked why I was so quiet during PTM. He thought I wa pretending to be an angel. My foot.
Anyway...

SIX EXTREMELY WEIRD THINGS ABOUT ME (minus the usual weirdness)
1. I cry easily. Not weird for the average person but not for the I'm-always-laughing-my-head-off person. And when I start I don't stop. And my right eye always tears first.
2.When my mother gave birth to me I came out smiling. Go figure.
3. I used to be so skinny everytime I fall sick I almost die .(this was when i was 2. and now... you get the picture.)
4. I used to dream about my parents dying and wake up in the middle of the night crying. When I was 10.
5. The first time I learnt how to walk was a super-anticlimax. I just stood and walked. -_-"'
6. I lose a lot of hair everyday. Not like chemo but quite a lot. And thus the yearning for short hair.

(I actually wrote until 7 when I realised i only wanted to write six...oh well.)

WERE GOING TO ITALY!!
Land of food, drinks and hot guys.
Oops.
I LUV CHOIR!! and i hope that we work mega hard and do supercallifragelisticexpriallydociously at Italy. Saving money now but I don't know if it'll be enough. Life's a witch and then you fly. Oh that was random.

Ahshiba Sultana Raisins wants me to delete the msg in cbox by mingching. Can I do it? I'm not sure. Do I want to do it? Ummm...well...no. Hehe. THE PRINCESS ROCKS BY THE WAY. and so does my class clique. Make me happy enough to entertain them everyday.

Got to smell the band room today. Put my bag there temporarily to go do make-up PE with Sam. TEN ROUNDS OF SHEER TORTURE. Sam runs damn fast okie?(w.r.t to my speed). The band room smells nice. Damn I miss band. Miss my saxophone. Must go back CCHY. Hope Chijie has been taking good care of my baritone saxophone which I'm currently missing. It's 19.2 kg ok so it's like a light human being. I MISS MY LIGHT HUMAN BEING!!

anyway.

Saw Mr Aidil today. He taught me English in Sec 2, took me for TAF in MJ and I see him again here. And he was like "OH so you're here now?" like i'm some sort of elusive thief he's trying to capture. Which I probably am cuz I owe him one makeup.:P

Gotta go mug now. At least my existence is not futile.

So now I'm in PW class. So difficult to blog what with the nonsense Sheryl is doing. Still waiting for the idiot flower to come here so that we can talk to her about our project. Everyone's blogging now so I decided to blog too. Today has been okie. Saw Shona and Youying in the morning and my class people are just so bubbly that it helps. Vir is blogging too!! yayness. AFL is talking to Ahshiba's group now. They've been talking for quite long. Stress sia. Last Friday Sheryl cried in front of AFL. . Can't you see she's stressed because of you? She went one round with our group's events and now we're back to the event that we first proposed her in our first GPP.Flower man!! Anw, me and Sheryl met up on Sat in her house and we went through the whole event again. Hopefully for the last time. erlinna rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Thilaiga says... WHATEVER!!) Hmmm... anw, we watched Mulan on Disney Channel at her house and she was saying the dialogue one second before they screened it so it was damn funny. Then we continued the project until about 2 when she had to go for NDP. She got this really cool fan that says "happy birthday Singapore " blah blah blah. AFL is still talking to that group. Haiz. Don't think she'll meet us today.Mingching change blog so gotta go read. Okie I'm done here. Still havent' blogged about Pattaya third day but oh well... just read Meirong' s blog to find out. She's done a good job of it:)

BB!!!:)))

2007-07-21T03:14:00.000-07:00

i have to blog before i forget everything that happened:)
day2:
We had breakfast.Yup. Then we went to watch the opening ceremony. MR Kwei and his average-ly long speech.There was this choir that had this really cool choir costume (which was essentially a shirt and black pants.) Their shirt had really interesting patterns in front and a hand-drawn picture of a drum at the back. And they sang some song with the year 1940 and bicycles involved. LOL. We went to Meirong and Selene's room where we waited for the late ppl like Shena Shona Hazel and Youying. Selene prank called their rooms and said" Sawadika. Thai massage..." and a lot more before yelling at them to come faster to 91005. Hahax. Then we did a remake of Natsu. Damn cool although it was kind of a failed attempt.But it was fun watching them do the funny stuff.:)
Erm.. did we go back and watch more? I'm not sure. but the highlight of the day was watching NUS choir and MJ choir perform at our impromptu exchange. So cool la. We sang and it was not bad although the sops did make a few mistakes. MJ'S YORU WAS DAMN NICE LA.That Ko Matsushita(hope i got it right) song. It was wonderful. MJ was really good( and this is not my first-three-month biased opinion. They really are good.:) The ppl in MJ choir are really nice. Which set me thinking. If I did not miss the choir auditions for MJ choir and I had gotten in, I probably would have stayed there. Take into consideration that at that time I didn't know AJ choir. BUT now that I'm here nothing could make me wanna leave:). Anw, NUS choir was also really good. Can't really remember the songs they sang but they were really nice to listen to and all. Maybe I'll join that choir . IF I CAN EVER GO NUS THAT IS. Oh I'm crapping alot. ANW, we got some good advice( like the advice that Mr Toh had been telling us since day 1) and we really tried to work on it. Some judge stopped to listen to NUS. So cool la. People stop to listen to them leh. NUS choir IS SO COOL.
That's about what happened on day 2 minus the random sop screaming and crapping.

Gotta go do something else le my vision is blurring:( Will blog about the other days some other time.

2007-07-19T08:05:00.000-07:00

Oh I like finally have some time to blog. Pattaya was super cool. The hotel was nice for one, and the rooms were quite close by. Me Shena Shona Hazel and Youying were so near by we just ran over from time to time:)

Day1: We got on the plane TG 404. It was Cicillia's first plane ride so I was quite happy for her. I was stting beside Karen but she switched places with Ryan so that she could sit beside Nambi. So Ryan sat beside me, and Kangting and Cicillia sat on my left. It was really fun. Ryan Cicillia and Kangting are so full of crap. I never knew that they were so lame. We did maths curve sketching tutorial. Cicillia underwent some discomfort with her ear during turbulence and she was tearing but overal the flight was quite smooth. We spent about 90% of the time laughing. After we landded we claimed our baggage. Huixia's baggage lock was broken so I think they were claiming a new one or something. We boarded a bus and then took a 2 hour ride to Pattaya. We stopped along the way at Jet petrol station to buy some water and stuff. We bought this drink called Mogu Mogu lychee juice which was quite nice. I also bought Choco banana flavoured Pocky. I've never seen it in Singapore. It was really nice. We continued to Ambassador City Hotel. I SAW ALLIE AND QUIQI!! So cool to see them here(duh they're in MJ choir). Anw, the food was quite nice in the hotel too. Especially the dessert. We kind of formed a eating group comprising of me, Angela, Cicillia, Kangting, Ryan, Nambi, Karen, Lynette and Zongyi( i hope i din miss out anyone:P). We were always the first to reach the dessert table but the last to finish eating. So cool la. We didn't camwhore much though. There were some shops set up near the hotel where we could buy souvenirs and the like. There also was a minimart called minimart.:) So that was what happened on the first day. Bleh I'm out of time. I'll blog about the rest of the days some other time!!

2007-07-08T06:06:00.000-07:00

So today is like, the day after 07/07/07. Didn't really go out yesterday other than choir. Was actually planning to go out with my class but noone managed to seriously plan anything. Supposed to be damn special for me cuz my index number is also 7 but...Choir was.. fruitful. Learnt a lot of things, most of them within the 5 minutes that me, Shena, Youying Shona and Angela were walking out of school. Shena managed to teach me how to get resonance and a bright voice. Hope I'll be able to replicate what I was doing. She also taught YY how to sing the higher notes. Shena's really great at teaching and she seems like she really knows what she's doing. Wow. So want to be like her. Anw, choir was fun although we didn't really do that well at combined. Kena interrogated by Zhengkai. Kind of brought it on myself by opening my mouth when he asked for feedback on sectionals. Hehe muz learn to shut up. Kane kind of told us about what Mr Kwei told him. So sad. But we'll improve more. And at least we know that we're trying the best. At least the Sopranos are. We're really more bonded la. We're also improving together and at least we're talking to each other. We really come earlier and we're taking this damn seriously. No more slacking( not to say that we were slacking before ). We've got a do-it-or-die-trying kind of attitude now. Yeah!! Hehe. Must jiayou now cause it's really the last stretch now.
Anw gotta go now. Can't wait for Pattaya!!

2007-07-01T00:57:00.000-07:00

HAPPY YOUTH DAY EVERYBODY!!! Haha. I'm happy for another reason though. Pattaaya is only 12 days away! That's less than 2 weeks! really can't wait. Yesterday's prac was ok i guess. Mr Kwei's coming down on Monday so we'll finally know if we improved or not. Hope he says we did. Anyway the exams are over and I officially need to start doing my homework. Shucks. Anyway life has improved. Yeah. Much happier now that exams are over. And now we have some free time before mugging fever overtakes us.
Something that Mingching did is really causing me doubts now though. I know that it isn't him who is saying it but it still makes sense but leaves me completely clueless at the same time. Haix. Hope everyone else are having doubt-free lives out there!!:)

2007-06-26T06:04:00.001-07:00

Today was physics and it was.... let's just say... when they asked for upthrust i wrote "Upthrust =" and stopped there. So you get my point. I hope all the exams finish faster so that we can get back to our regular schedules again. Really miss everyone at choir esp. the girls. And I just found out that my A level oral is on this friday.. So I'm like dead la.. Econs was also very weird. As in the question requires more than just Econs stuff it also requires like common sense and social studies. Not at all like history when you can just regurgitate all the facts and score level 3. Anw gotta go study le. Can't wait to see you guys!!

2007-06-24T04:59:00.000-07:00

Okay yesterday I went mad with the quizs so today I tried to be more normal... it sure felt weird. Today tried to chiong chem and maths...emphasis on the word "try". Can't wait for tomorrow tho, I'll finally see all my classmates again. This holiday din really feel like a holiday, what with choir and lectures and going out. But it was fun I guess. Time to start chionging at AJ again. Chionging gives you a nice feeling after the chionging is over. Like exercise. You can proudly say ," I finished all my five year series" and have everyone around you stare in awe. Hahax. Anw really can't wait for tml cuz a lot of things are going to happen tml ( not mentioning Econs and GP). Re-writing Chap One was such a hassle and it actually ended up being worse that the original so... Hehe. So miss laughing. These past few days have been damn serious la. So weird. And my bro is being a good bro and getting insulted by me. Feel so bad. But he insult me also la so it's like equal. Haha.

How do you describe your thoughts when words are not the medium to what you're feeling?
This is how.
We're bonded by the only thing we believe in.
Tho its hard to explain I know that you all feel it too.
All in this together, each and evry one of us.
Haiz.
how did we get wrapped up in this?
It's just so weird, you think you know someone so well
then it hits you so hard.
So scary.
Bleh.
You all feel the same right?
Hope you do.
*Disclaimer: This is not a song, neither is it a poem. Thus it does not rhyme or sound lyrical. This is just mad rambling.
So many things can happen in one week.

Damn. Wednesday's steamboat was cancelled. So sad. But I still went studying and hanging out with Sally and Ming Ching. Quite fun we discovered a lot of things. Suddenly everything we've been doing the past few weeks doesn't seem like a game anymore. It finally feels real, especially after we met Ambika. It's going to be a wild ride but I think with our strength we'll ride this storm out. For those who have no idea about what I'm saying... erm.... ignore it I guess. For those who know, good for you. Anw, something really shocked me recently. Someone told me something ( or more like I found out) and I can't say I'm happy. It's like a revelation. HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO STUPID TO NOT SEE WTF WAS GOING ON?!? But I guess If Mingching can think Bk means block and not Burger King, this is ok.
Wait a minute.
OK?!?
What am I thinking?
Haiz. I wish I could tell the world so that the world could tell me what to do or say. I mean it IS his choice and I shouldn't meddle. Considering it's not because of me that he... forget it. Haiz.
Anyway...
Monday's econs and GP.
Hope they'll be okie.
I also hope confusion is not a contagious disease that can spread from one topic to another.
Or I'm dead for any paper after maths. Haiz.
If only I could say what's on my mind...
But if everyone knew everything about me,
There'll be noone left.
Haiz.
Farewell party was just over a few days ago.
They were happy times, spending so much time talking about ghosts in Thailand. And it finally let us attend to something v impt... bonding. We really bonded and I hope it'll stay like that. Yup. I want one big happy family. As possible as having one episode of Happy Tree Friends with no violence at all.
Took a lot of photos and spent a lot of time singing. Boon Teck went around asking someone to keep his fighting fish that the Tenors gave him. Youying took up the offer. Food was not bad, what with the yellow-dyed rice ( Hwei ting I'll miss you!!!) and all. Sang No Importa La Distancia and Was not bad I guess. Hazel was bawling her eyes out. She was super sad. Nope she's okie now :)
Just read a ton of good books and I'm finally ready to mug.
Wish me luck!!

2007-06-18T06:08:00.000-07:00

My internet finally works again.. Yay! It was kind of spoiled for the past few days so now I'm so happy that it works!! Anyway, I was thinking of uploading Chapter one of Curse of the Ji but it was just so lame that I'm thinking of re-writing it. Choir was fun today though, although I was too tired to enjoy it. We didn't really perform our best though. Mr Toh said we'll get a Bronze probably. Haiz. But I'm going to work harder and hope I'll improve:) was kind of sad the whole day, although I've no reason to be. Emoing I guess. So weird, I never used to do this before. Going for steamboat on Wed with the saxophonists. Can't wait I miss them so much. All the saxophonists who went to JC became JC saxophonists. Everyone, that is, except me. They don't really mind tho, cuz we still hang out with each other. Thailand competition is only about three weeks away. So weird to refer to this as Thailand com after referring to the Annual Symphonic Band Competition as Thailand com for the past four years. Oh well, if everything else can change there's no reason that this can't too. Everything feels so different now. I still feel as if JC is something I'm going to get out of in the near future. Near future as in few months from now. I guess it hasn't hit me yet.
Someone get a sledgehammer.

Clicked on the link on Youying's blog...
Man this is hilarious!!!

2007-06-08T06:55:00.000-07:00

Choir was...... ok I guess. It just felt different now, compared to the past few weeks. Ya, just different. Not in a good way or a bad way. Just..........different. The people who had gone to China came back today and bought souvenirs for us... so nice of them:). They also sounded as if they had the 'flu, with love from China. Today was such a weird day. Not just choir but the whole day. And I was super tired.Haix. We were just hanging when shona started to crawl like the Lady in Ju-On. So I was giving sound effects and then kept talking about it. So funny. Mr Toh wasn't here today so we just practiced ourselves..

The Sop Ones still seem to mispitch the "ji". Feel so sad for them, must be real tough but they're trying their best. Anyway, this inspired me to do something stupid. Introducing THE CURSE OF THE "JI".

The Curse Of The "JI".
Chapter Zero (i'd love to call it chapter one but it's kinda short :P so...)
The sopranos of AjChoir took their places, eager to sing "Kasar Mie La Gaji". With anticipation, the conductor waves his hand, signaling the beginning of the song. The sopranos listened with apprehension as the tenors and basses started singing their low, low notes. Two bars after the altos came in, the sopranos came in with their haunting (maybe not yet, but in the near future) melody. Steadying themselves, they sang the part with as much support and technique as they can( tho the word "can" is subjective) and fought the curse of the "Ji".

They went on with fervour and fear, the Lamentoso crawling closer and closer like a clockwork Ju-On. The part they feared was not Lamentoso, however. It was one bar before it, where the curse normally came into play. The bar was getting nearer with every wave of the conductor's hand. The sopranos marched on forth gallantly, singing every "Kasar Mie La Gaji" as if their life depended on it. The air was thick with anticipation as they approached the bar. Then they reached it. "Kasar Mie La Gaji!!" they sang in unison, hoping that the curse will stay away. But it was too late. They were already one semitone sharp. The curse of the "Ji" was activated, making the Sop Ones out of tune. Although the altos could fend for themselves by memorising their next note, the sopranos swore that one day, they will overcome the curse of the "Ji"......

omg this is so drama...more next time ( when i have time and actually put in effort to crap)

2007-06-01T06:57:00.001-07:00

OoOoO... So I had my Teenage Icon auditions today. Guess it went okay. I was kinda of nervous and I kind of started on the wrong key but thank god it was still sing-able. Saw a lot of CCHY people there. Saw the two girls who won third for our school talentime that year me and Zhiyu sang Cinderella. We were all in the waiting room of sorts and suddenly Cinderella (Tata Young's version) started playing. And both of them were staring at me. In a nice way. They're really nice people. Also saw Christina ( the alto section ex-SL) taking part. And also saw the Groom my Room girl who had that all-pink room. I'd give an arm to have my room refurnished. At the moment, it's furnished with..... assessment books. Yup. That's about it. Anyway, before going into the Audition Room, one of the dancing girls yelled my name and Mingching followed up with a whoop. Damn weird.
Went for choir today and it was quite fun. Mr Toh wasn't in such a great mood today but it went okay, although he almost lost his patience with us. Practice was quite productive I guess because we managed to learn much of Kasar Mie La Gaji except for one part. Mingching was being nutty again today, as usual. He was saying he wants to come along to meet Mister Twitchy. No idea over why he's obsessing over him. So weird. Thank god he didn't come though it would have been weird. He was going to watch Midsummer Night's Dream put up by CJ. Must have been nice. Anyway, choir room's kinda filled with ants, especially near the Soprano's side. So Hazel has to do something about it.
Two days ago on 31 May was TPJC's choir concert for which we were guest choir. Must return the favor. The concert was not bad I think. We didn't really get to watch but I like the way they sing so it should have been nice. Would have been worth watching but well... if I'm right we went a little out of tune and off-key for Natsu but it was damn fun. It was the first time I really enjoyed singing Natsu. And Water Night was nice! I mean I liked it la. Dunno if it was okay technically. It was really fun being backstage. THAT GUEST PIANIST WAS STILL THERE. But I don't think he recognised me so... phew. It was fun talking rubbish. Shona left her business thingy early today to come perform. And she unceremoniously fell down in front of SMU. Hehe. I just had to mention that. And I realised my choir gown had a hole. But it's not abvious. Shena helped me put makeup and went all out with mascara. My eyelashes turned out to look like an extra one centimeter long. Damn nice! and she helped me put Shona's eyeshadow. Kind of a nice blue. I'll probably buy that one.

2007-05-27T05:58:00.000-07:00

Just realised I haven't blogged for near a month..... oh well. It's been kinda sad these past few days. First I went for MJ choir concert and I saw all my friends there... I know I should be happy but I miss them so much.. AND GUESS WHAT?!? The world goes in vicious circles.. Remember the guy teacher I accidentally insulted when he was teaching me MIDI sequencing? The one who told me that my teacher in school put me in charge of collecting all the MIDI assignments and I told him ," This kind of SHIT also she put me in charge ar?" I didn't really mean it Joel, I was just really pissed with that teacher because she was being a dick. Anyway, why the whole recollection thing? BECAUSE HE WAS MJ'S GUEST PIANIST. That's right. And I was in the audience all flabbergasted because i never thought I would ever see him again. Damn. Anywayz, MJ's concert was really great and it was really supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to watch Allie and Qiu Qi performing. Also got to see darn lot of my classmates from MJ and Mereith and Zul. Kinda cool but sad.

Then on Friday was Mr Zheng's and Dr. Ho's last day. I was so sad. I'm seriously going to miss Dr Ho's long winded maths examples that actually make sense (to a certain extent at least) and his funny laugh. I hope he remains our teacher after the June hols and Bocky doesn't come back.

Mr Zheng's leaving today too. It's only been three months or so but I feel as if our class and Mr Zheng have spent a lifetime together, laughing at lame jokes and looking at gory pictures. Miss all his interesting GP videos (can''t always keep my head up though...ZzZzZ) but the videos DID teach us a lot of interesting and new stuff that we might have never known. So enjoyed the laughing our class has shared together under his care. He really bothered if we did our work and went out of his way to make each class different from the previous one. And I learnt a lot of cool stuff ( like the fact that Zi Rui hates violence, Wei Lun is violent, Firdaus is darn creative when it comes to punishments and Sheryl can be REALLY SPASTIC when she wants to.). Just don't know where to start describing Mr Zheng: his eyelashes, double eyelid and his favourite colour being pink but I sure know that after he's not teaching us anymore our class is never going to feel as complete again.

So we got a gold for SYF.. quite happy because i was kinda afraid that mistake by one of the sops would have caused a silver, but phew, it didn't. Almost cried when we were singing No Importa La Distancia. Cicillia beside was crying but luckily i relaxed and breathed. It would be freaky to see someone who's always laughing cry. Kane wasn't there to do his solo so some of the guys took turns to help with it. SYF was probably not our best performance but we GAVE it our best so we should be happy with what we got. Mingching said that there's a twitchy guy in YJ too but I didn't see any. Most of us were cracking lame jokes on the way back yesterday and I finally realised why so many seniors bothered to come back. it's the bond within the choir itself that makes everyone feel at home even if they feel that they're the weirdest person on Earth.Anw, today's lessons were sombre since many girls didn't come. Ahshiba, Reggie and Er weren't here. Er left halfway since she was down with flu. Pity her man I know what it feels like to be sick. Kartik and Zhaoliang were also out for StAJE and volleyball. Me and Sher were entertaining ourselves the whole time but I kept saying stupid stiff cuz I was so darn tired. Couldn't concentrate during physics prac today cuz the mosquitoes kept on biting me. I had to do it today bcuz I wasn't in school ytd. I was so nervous bcuz I was the only one in the whole lab. I was thinking, " I could be doing everything wrong and Mr. Chew might be standing there mocking me silently." But I got a C so I guess it wasn't that bad. I wrote nonsense for the discuss anomaly part. I wrote "not conducted in a draft-free room". Hello that is chemistry!!! And that point wasn't even anomalous i just plotted it wrongly. So I got a big cross. But looking on the bright side, I could have gotten a Z but Mr Chew's a nice guy. Pris called me today and asked if there's choir. She can't get any blurrer man! But at least she didn't like stay until six then call. Can't wait for Pattaya trip it's gonna be really fun with all the wacko people in choir(i'm automatically one of them).

2007-05-06T06:57:00.000-07:00

Life's been running quite sweet eh? Just blogged yesterday so I ain't got much to say. However, i just realised just how much i miss my cchy friends after talking to sally that day. Really brought back all those memories i've been trying to repress and make sure that I'll enjoy AJ while I can. Sally's gone to TP taking Law. So clever. I'd probably be blur about the whole thing. Miss her like crazy and it's funny to think how we spent a whole of a year being enemies. If there's one thing I grateful to band about it has to be making me and Salz good friends. We all gotta meet up again soon.. NO STEAMBOATS!!! Enough of cooking the food by myself..hehe. But of course the steamboats were so bloody fun, what with all the laughing and cracking lame jokes. Gotta go though, Ugly Betty's starting.

P.S.: Mingching me and two of my AJ friends are going to KBox, wanna follow?

2007-05-05T04:37:00.000-07:00

So long since I blogged!!! Only realised it when i saw that my GP blog entry was more recent compared to my blog. Anyway, my parents didn't let me watch Midsummer Nights Dream. SO now Mingching is enjoying it. And I'm left to blog about it. But since it's like today and there's nothing I can do about it, there're better things to worry about. SYF is coming in THREE DAYS!!! AHHHH!!! There's no choir tomorrow because Mr. Kwei wants us to rest. So I'm worrying now. Worried about getting our Gold with Honours. But we're definitely going to work or ass off to try to get it. Now watching my brother act like a total weirdo with his Quiksilver jacket.
Going to watch Blackboards, White walls by StAJEworks with Sam. Dunno if Mingching wants to go. I mean..... Nah forget it there's no reason to continue harping about MND. Anyway, I realised that my blog entry isn't the main attraction of my blog, its the CBox!!! So much life at my blog even when I dont blog.
Going on the Pattaya trip with the choir. I actually managed to convince my parents to let me go Thailand again ( the prev two times being with band). Last years Choir Games was at Xiamen!! So cool, I wonder why I didn't see them there. Probably different date or something.
Still, I'm really trying to plan a roadtrip for the end of this year. Sher was telling me something about wanting to go on a roadtrip in Malaysia so I'm like why not? It'll be fun if noone drowns in tsunamis or gets bombed or gets kidnapped by horny monkeys (not like that has ever happened.)
Porky's not teaching me for a while and we got a replacement. So goddamn happy!!! no need to see her face again for another month or so!!!!^^

2007-04-27T07:38:00.000-07:00

OoOoO I just realised how long it's been since I last posted...jeez. So much has happened since last time though. Our choir concert was over on 16 April and I had a blast (although I did make some mistakes). SYF is coming up and I'm in the SYF choir so I've been damn busy( and thus I justify my absence from my blog). Pocky is really getting on my nerves. For the blur, Pocky is a nickname fora teacher. I'm really starting to hate her but my pops said that there's no reason to argue with her. Anyway, I'm going to be busy again what with watching Midsummer Night's Dream with Mingching next week. Done my idiot PI and I don't think it's up to the teacher's expectations. Really busy and trying to finish all my work on time so that I'll be able to do things that I like. I haven't played the piano since like forever and it's making me a little cranky. Haven't got to talk to my ex-section mates and that's also making me cranky. Oh yeah. Saw Claire and her friends today. And her friends were like"who're you?". Then Claire said, "She's from our school." Then her friends stone for about a second and then exclaimed "Oh yeah you're the singer." And according to them I look and sound different. Different as in tired. Claire looks prettier with her long hair and all. And most of all, she looks happy. Haiz. Missing CCHY already. Especially Mdm Toh (for the sotongs, she's the GO clerk.) Still rmb all the times we used to talk. Anyway Family Day was just over and I saw Ru Jin, Samantha and Rebecca (from MJ) there. Brought back loads of good memories. AJ Idol is today and I'm wondering who won. I'm hoping that Virnice's friend Yang Seng wins. Heard him sing and his group was quite good la. We lost forty dollars on that day but it was bloody fun so that 's all that matters. Been having choir everyday. So my life has been pretty boring. Not enough time to even go KBox. Finally got an A for my newspaper articles. So happy that my hard work kind of paid off. Moral of the story: use Times mag articles. They're like so much more high level compared to Singapore newspapers. Then, nothing much. Life's been mechanical and boring. Pocky's just being absolutely pocky but the rest of the teachers are fine (Phew).

2007-04-10T07:12:00.000-07:00

I'm like so sad now. I mean, it's bad enough that they brought us into the choir at such a time. That is not their fault so maybe we can understand. But now they want us to sell 15 tix or else we absorb the cost. ABSORB THE COST LEH!!!! You know the total cost someone could absorb? $240. You know how much that is? twenty percent of my monthly total household income. TWENTY FUCKING PERCENT OF MY MONTHLY HOUSEHOLD INCOME LEH!!!!! That is fucking lot la. So now I'm like super depressed because I dunno how I'm going to come up with the money. Sorry to those ppl who can't stand vulgarities but now I really can't take it la. I'm like going to explode so soon. You know, I'm so sad that i keep on LOLing to my self so that I won't resort to suicide. It's already not like I have a lot of cash la. God I don't even have enough to get me thru uni. So I probably can't go uni straight away I have to work for a while before I can go stdy whatever nonsense I'm going to study in uni. I think I'm going to die before I go to uni. Very bad feeling. Maybe bcuz I'm feeling crappy now or sth. I dunno la. I was saving for my Cambridge thing but now its like start all over again. I think must use my Edusave scholarship money that I put in the bank to save for uni. Die la.

2007-04-06T07:36:00.000-07:00

OMG!!! What the hell is happening to my computer?!? I can't even hear my own blog music. Is that sucky or what? And more, for some weird reason or another blogger doesn't seem to accept blogskins.com"s skins. So my GP blog is running in a Blogger Template. I don't know where I'm going to hide my face. And since I can't hear the blog music, I don't know whether the music is actually there or not. So at the moment mt GP blog is really empty. ( I haven't blogged in it either.) However on another note, school has been kinda fun, what with my wacky friends and fun but tiring choir. Since our concert is coming up they've been pushing us like crazy. My sore throat is also getting worse. But choir is really fun and I won't give it up for the world. Other things that are happening include the Mission Samaritan thing( which is on Saturday but I can't attend bcuz I've got choir) and everything else in general. PE is not as stressful as what the first three months people did. But I think its going to get worse soon. Lessons are fun but my GP teacher (Mr Larry Lee) left to become a counsellor in another school and we got a new PDG tutor whom everyone says is hot. He's ok though and he has lame jokes so I don't think he is that bad la. Other teachers are fine too I guess. Got tons of homework to do but I was busy trying to make my GP blog look good.(And failed.) So like that la. Tomorrow must chiong homework and scores.

2007-04-01T02:28:00.000-07:00

It's been a long time since I last blogged. Choir concert is coming soon on the 16 April at Esplanade. So were kind of stressed especially all the 2nd intakers. Trying their best to memorise their scores..including me. Having some problems with Dorven Dalai and the Jap songs. But it's been fun so far and I'm expecting more during the holidays. CCHY ppl's SYF is on 16 April so none of them can come for the concert. So sad. Anyway AJ is not as stressful as everyone makes it out to be. My class people are very nice so I've been having fun laughing my head off. I met my MJ friends at the
choral exchange yesterday. I was kinda happy to see them bcuz I haven't seen a familiar face for OVER
A WEEK!(not including Alfred, JK, TZ and Ivy.) So now I just finished doing my Chemical Energetics tutorial and I'm probably gonna go out after this . Oh yeah. If anyone wants to go watch Phantom of the Opera tell me. I'm planning to go watch with my bro.

2007-03-16T22:35:00.000-07:00

Choir camp was over yesterday. i went to buy my school uniform and i reached home around seven.

What can i say about my birthday? I got dragged on the floor on my birthday. We were playing Night Walk, which is a school-wide version of Haunted House. Angela was so scared that she started running and I fell and I got dragged until she calmed down. She was so bloody freaked. But it was scary to a certain extent I guess. The rest of the time we were just walking around and talking and not really getting scared. the second toilet one we went to was not bad anyway. It's............. movie standards i guess. It's like as you're entering the toilet, all the brooms will start falling and then someone will slam the toilet door and flush. That one not bad because it's believable i guess. The rest were ok but the movie Ju-On was not that scary. Overall it was quite good. So much more fun than orientation anyway. My group was really hyper all the time and we kept on jumping sround and having fun.

This was so much better.

2007-03-12T23:07:00.000-07:00

So here I am, sitting here with nothing much to do.... Honestly since when has my life been so boring? It's weird how life has changed so much from secondary school. Although I used to gomplain about secondary sch now i know that it was pie compared to JC. More and more I start to regret going to AJ. But i guess we all make mistakes. So now I'm sitting here, thinking about how life has been , howI have choir tomorrow and how am I going to cope with all those studies. Somehow I'll make it. I guess.

Today going to watch Norbit. Me, Mingching and Sanjeven. Really can't wait. It's been a long time since I watched a comedy. The last time I watched a movie, it was half of Saw 3 and it was gross. my father insists on me and my brother watching it because he says that there is a very important message at the end of the movie. It better be a damn important message.

Got choir tomorrow. We got to memorise a few songs by tomorrow and since I haven's brought my scores today, I might as well go to hell. Damn. I sound angsty. But seriously I'm not. I'm just happy go lucky. Most of the time, anyway. Choir's having this concert soon. If I'm right, it's on the 16 of April. Which is, if I'm right (again), Audrey's birthday. Can't wait to meet everyone again.

2007-03-10T23:49:00.000-08:00

It's been a long time since the last time I blogged. Didn't have the time, what with all the Orientation in AJ and stuff. It's kind of boring there. I finally realise why its called "mugger's school". The people there really mug the whole day. So much so that they didn't have time to improve their creativity. Most of the games that they came up with were kind of boring and the dances were worse ( except for That Girl by NSync. They showed some new moves in that.). The OGFs and the councillors were also so fake in their enthusiasm. Maybe because of the over-studying they have problems expressing themselves in the non-literary-cum-scientific world. In fact it was so boring that I was glad I could leave early on the last day. That teacher who was supposed to allow leaving the school gave me such a hard time. I had to go see the VP who allowed me to go. Honestly I've never met such a weird teacher who tries to make the students feel bad about leaving early. HELLO?!? It was soo boring that I felt bad about STAYING. Bad as in I was probably going to have a seizure or something if I stayed any longer. I can't wait to start studying, however. It's going to be fun studying.

More fun than the Orientation at least.

I guess it's time for me to take leave now.

2007-03-02T22:04:00.000-08:00

So finally our first three months are over. i never imagined that the people i met would have had such a great impact on me. Maybe it' sthe speed at which the first three months have past that have made us dependent on each other. the result of this dependence have been phenomenal: it has caused us to forge such strong bonds that nobody in their right mind would have thought possible. Even though i have known my classmates for such a short time now, i feel as if i have known them my whole life and i'm going to miss them alot. i guess that no matter where i go, i'm going to remember mj as the first school that ever felt like home. ( mingching this is all your fault. now i'm getting all emo.) For all those who think i'll forget them, dont worry i won't. the experince at mj is one that should truly be cherished. i really wish that i could stay in mj but sadly, life doesn't always work out the way you want it to. if i had my way, i'd shift house to pasir ris but since i can't , i have to be content with saying goodbye.

Allie: thanks for being such a great friend throughout the whole of the three months. i know this sounds cliche but these three months have been so much better bcuz of you. Love your optimistic attitude and how anyone can depend on you when they need help. your bubbly personality is the main reason why many people feel happy and relaxed around you. Will miss ya.

Natasha: hey girl just wanna say thank you for being a great person to talk to and laugh with. Although its only been three months( or less) i still feel that we've known each other for a long time.hope you can achieve whatever aims you have for the future. Maybe we'll meet again someday.

Quiqi, Meina, Meiting, Yu Shu: you guys have been great friends and i treasure every recess we've spent together talking nonsense and laughing our heads off. Wish you guys all the best in the future k? Dont forget me bcuz i'll never forget you guys.(milk makes you drunk!!)

CG : honestly without you guys the class would have tons more boring. thanks for lighting up the lessons with your lame jokes and nonsense on those days when we felt that our timetable would never end. Cheers and all the best in whatever you guys do. we did have some fun together laughing and insulting some teachers together. Good luck people and i hope that you all will get what you want.

OG:you guys were the first friends that i had in MJ. it's never going to be possible to forget those mad times we spent together during orientation. I've got to know each and every one of you so well that it feels as if i'm leaving my family behind. I'll always remember you guys as the wacky bunch of people that lit up my experince in MJ . Wish you guys all the best in the future and we all have to meet up once in a while ok?

LAST BUT NOT LEAST>>>> WUZUN ROCKSS!!!!:)

How to make your blog look WAY cooler!!!

2007-02-26T06:22:00.000-08:00

Mingching if you're reading this all you have to do is go to blogskins.com and choose any skin you want. then you go all the way down and there's this place where you'll see small block letters highlighted in blue. Click on blogger main and open it. then go to your template, delete EVERYTHING there and then paste whatever you opened. ta-dah!!! now you have a cooler blog! easy peasy lemon squeezy!!

P.S. I'm seriously gonna miss my MJ friends. Just thinking of it makes me sad... but i guess i've got no choice. cant stand running for that damn 39 EVERY morninig. Makes me wanna cry.

leaving the place you love most

2007-02-10T19:27:00.000-08:00

man.... can i stay in mj? i'm really going to miss eveyone there man.. i'm already feeling sad although i still will meet them tomorrow and stuff. Kinda sad i made all those friends and i'm going to leave them. i was kinda sad upon leaving cchy because all my friends were there and now we were giong to be separated. it's was such a sad time. and now i'm going to have to repeat it again, and i really hope i dont have to do it again. but now i have too......... I REALLY WANNA STAY IN MJ MAN!!!
i cant believe that i was complaining all the time about them at the beginning. i've grown to love all of them, from allie to felix. im gonna miss them and this time its nobody's fault but MINE!!!

OMG.

2007-02-09T08:04:00.000-08:00

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. I got A2 for humans. OMGOMGOMG!!! So
shocking lor... i got so scared that i was dreaming again. I finally
understand how it feels when you're good and ppl are happy for u.
Generally everyone did well and everyone is happy abt their marks like
mingching, sally. ivy(of course), Audrey,Yijun, Caifeng and the rest. We
all were quite high. Drey was crying cuz she was so happy. damn happy for
her man she passed both maths leh!! so so so happy for her. YJ can stay in
TJ, Lei can enter AJ and mingching is so shocked that his Phy got so
good. So bloody happy today. Its nice to be an outstanding student, even
though other schs have 6 pointers and we dont. Im really happy that our
sch has been successful and that we have performed betta than our
seniors. Maybe things sre starting to look up for this sch of mine.
When i told mdm sue abt my dream her face contorted into a look of
horror when i reached the G10 part. Thank god its not true and that
there's no way it could have been true (for obvious reasons). If there was
any way that i could thank everyone who has helped me so far i would, but
up to now i havent found a way. Maybe i'll buy stuff for all the teachers like
one Ferrero Roche each or sth. I gotta thank mr yap too! He was a great
principal and i love him for all the things he has done for our school. Just
because he isn't our principal anymore doesnt mean for a second that we
will ever forget him and all that he has done.

Bittersweet.

2007-02-06T00:49:00.000-08:00

Haix.. a little disapointed that i didnt get into CI.I had already decided that if i became CI then ill try my best to stay in MJ but if i din then MJ will remain a question mark. So now its still a question mark lor. but quite happy that Alvin got thru. Hope that if he stay in this sch he will become coucillor.O level results comin out on 9 feb. its been confirmed. srjc people were saying that they had confirmed that results are coming out on the 6 feb but they were wrong. A bit happy that results didnt come out so early.. i still need time to prepare for my humanities marks. feel like im betraying the OGL thingy leh since im not planning to stay in this sch. wonder how come my life became so sad again. Ill really miss all of them here esp my OG and my CG. they are quite nice now and honestly i'm not ready to go to yj and see so many familiar faces again. some of my ex sch mates were an essential pain in the ass and i dunno where they went for PAE. and being in yishun, there is a high chance that i'll see many of them again. We just started this sch-wide Angel and Mortal thingy and so far its ok (other than the fact that i stil havent een introed to my mortal and ive no idea who my angel is). So funny lor our mortals are from diff classes so its weird. Lectures has been gg on as usual but a little more stressful than last time..........haiz..........dont really wanna leave MJ leh but i cant take running to the bus stop everyday and then standing the whole bus ride. and by the time i reach home its so darn late that i dint have enough time to study. Weishan was talking about gg to yishun. Cant understadn why she would wanna leave NYJ but she must have her own reasons. Dunno 'bout the distance but i dint think ill ever try NYJ. Altho here im surrounded by chinese ppl too its not so bad. theyre not talking in chinese all the time so i dont feel as left out as i used to feel (not saying that i used to feel left out but... you get the picture). Now not sure how la but..... i think that due to circumstances i'll finally have to go y lor.
