I went for a mindchamps talk yesterday at tpy hub. It was real cool. There was a workshop thingum which teaches an effective way of learning/memorising/understanding the words and knowing the meaning of the words. I'll just list out some of the words I can remember now..

1)spindrift-spray blown across the sea
2)nebulous-difficult to see
3)uxorious-dependent upon one's wife
4)shackled-chained
5)apoplexy-sudden inability to move or feel
6)cheroot-cigar with open ends
7)abject-miserable
8)pyrexia-fever
9)ileum-third and final portion of the small intestines
10)antithesis-opposite, contrast of ideas

YAY mygawd I could remember all 10 words and their meaning, word for word! Haha, looks like mindchamps DOES have a lasting effect. Anyway, we were taught to learn the meaning through drawings, for example apoplexy. Apo sounds like apple, and one would naturally link an apple that causes "inability to move or feel" with Snow White, right! Yeah. So think of snow white who's immobilised and there you go, apoplexy! This is the most ingenious way of learning and the small class of 8 secondary school ppl quickly memorised all the meanings in a short span of half an hour.

Ohyeah, I'm so proud to be a biology student. The trainer asked all of us which word we already knew even before we saw the words, and almost all of them said "shackled" or "dunno", and I'm the only one who said "ileum":D And then he said "You take bio right? Can you tell me what's the other portion of the small intestines?" And whew I remembered, it's the duodenum!;D Throughout the lesson I was the one speaking up most which is really weird, cos I don't like to, so you can tell how quiet the class was like really.

The trainer's really amusing, he's those typical ahpek kind of uncle with belly but he's super humorous, he talks about going gaga over man-u, cracks loads of jokes.

At the end we had to go on stage and have this mini competition btw boys and girls to see who can say the meaning of the words the fastest, just to show the parents that mindchamps does work. Then we had to choose leaders for the group and when the trainer asked us to choose the girls immediately pointed to me._. This goes to show that people tend to put their confidence in those who speak up. Yeah right.

This post feels like an advertiser for mindchamps eh. But it's reallllyyyyy coooooool but super ex..$3000-$4000.

And yes thank me, cos you've just learnt 10 new difficult words.

P.S, my favourite word is uxorious:D Reason being really obvious.

leonard: hi-.-

My L1R5 is 9 and I'm pleased with my results except both languages, and I swear I'm gonna work much harder for HCL and english and get L1 of 2! It musn't screw up again. PTD was okay I guess. Ahh hope Mr Cheong didn't say anything weird to my mom and my mom didn't say anything embarrassing>:/

And, I do wish they would update the cca points, I've been stuck with 16 points ever since sec one. I so look forward to the day when I see 25 points:D Which will be soon. I want my 4 bonus points to be secured damn badly.

Gah. We're already thinking so much into O levels.

Poverty essay's killing me D:

Anyway, I'm so hyped up about the new pieces we're gonna get to play! Like Noah's Ark. Dream come true leewei, rmb?! I like our ensemble piece for brass quintet Spirited away, much nicer than sound of music that we played last year. And the idea of a quintet's cool, too:D

Ohohoh! Watched 17 again after school with mel, it was AWESOME! Zac efron's so cool! It was way fantabulous, at the last part when Zac changed back into the 37 year old version of Mike I was like omg shit no more zac>:/ Aweesome movie ttly.

And I bought two really nice paper from a shop in PS, couldn't rmb the name of the shop. But they're really pretty! Have been wanting to buy those since forever, was hesitant cos one piece cost like $2.50 or more..But it's ok. Wanted to buy 3 at first and would have paid $10. Aw I really liked the design of the piece that I didnt buy in the end! So stoooopid.

What does tonight portend? POVERTY(essay) Hmph. ._.

lyeann: :/ You should have been there with me to tell me what to do! I normally tend to ignore ppl like them. It's not the first time!
Ivan: Please lor lame cat! Not like I don't sms you also right!

Let me relate an absurd act that happened to me in the mrt.

So I was sitting at a corner minding my own business, when these two boys came in and sat next to me. And they appeared to be doing their own things too. I was texting tz then and the one next to me was so rude, he read what I was typing like wth? I tried to shield my hp from his prying eyes but apparently he got the gist of what I typed and the recipient, and said this damn loudly to his friend "Eh that tingxuan ah" blahblahblah. -.-His eyes got problem, can't even READ the name properly. Then he glanced at my hp somemore and saw that it was tingzhen, and quickly rectified his mistake by saying "she smsing tingzhen leh!" I was totally ignoring them. This kind of people just wanna attract attention which I'm NOT gonna grant them. To add insult to himself when I stood up he went "I went nanyang yesterday!". -.- Doesn't mean that all sleeveless uniforms are nanyang, ya know.

But anyway, school was fine. Lectures caused unconquerable ennui..felt like sleeping during SS. Ahhh. I need motivation!

Lyeann: Boohoo. Time flies. And we'll be sec four soon.

Mel's like, born to be a seducer! Sec one only and she's looking seductively at the cam!

Yes whatever I wrote that friend. Was so lame!

I miss sec one. Thanks cheryl for sending me! I carelessly lost my wallet containing all those neos last year:/ Ugh. I loved those neos the most out of all we've taken. Oh, and as I was looking at all the neos I realised that from poorly decorated ones we've improved our skills!;D Much nicer ones now.

Napfa yesterday! Pftt. I could have gotten all As for my 5 stations but no..B for shuttle run. ): ALMOST made it to an A. But whatever matters most is that I got a gold..i guess. My life's full of golds!:D Did 2.4 too, lousyyyy. I never ever get 30 for napfa cos of 2.4 every time.>:/

Napfa made me have so much muscle aches today, was walking around and feeling the aches everytime I lift my leg, stretch, especially during kickboxing! zomg kickboxing was quite fun actually just that it worsened the aches-.- I'm freaking hobbling about now due to the intense cramps.

Section outing with tongseng was incredible! We totally dug a hole in his pocket yesterday in sushi tei and the fuel used up to send all of us home(and the five of us live all over singapore). Oh, and money for the movie tickets which we returned in the end. Too much guilt, ya know;D

We spent most of the afternoon hogging our seats at sushi tei, pigging out and talking about everything under the sun. Cheryl had a hangover :O But whatever, was still cool and we enjoyed having so much leftover food>:/ I feel like finishing my bento now. Camwhored abit too.

And then we found out how Sebastian's driving skills were. Scary! He was driving us to tiongbahru for a movie and on the way he did some stunts with his WHITE car which I thought were crazyyy. Should never let cheryl to sit in front, it's dangerous! Resulted in Leanne banging her head against the side of the car for like what 10 times.

The movie was SO NICE! We watched Knowing..and it's super thrilling and freaky and had us cowering or clutching and jerking hands heeh. I still remember that girl's name okay..Lucinda. Eeks. The last part was touchingD: You me together forever! Oh and during the movie cheryl just emptied all the popcorn on the floor to puke into the container...when in the end she didn't(i think?) Like whatttt! Haha cheryl you are SO :O as always.

Did some finding of something and Sebastian was kind enough to drive everyone home. From jurong to bukit timah to bishan to sengkang to east coast and to wherever he was going. Zomg. So we drove over the whole of Sgp in one night three hours! Quite fun in his car too, talked about everything under the moon then. Reached home real late though, 11.15. But was so damn worth it! Yay section let's go out with tongseng again and treat him this time;D

Ivan: Ahemmmmmm. Now you owe me another treat.
Lyeann: This is the best thing on earth!
Xinfei: Thanks!
Suharyo: Thanks too!

"Band number 66. Singapore Chinese Girls' School...GOLD!"

And the whole band screamed our lungs out causing the Bowen people in front of us to jump in shock.

After months of hardwork, frustration, and stuff, we finally got what we wanted. We got over the fence which determined silver or gold! I am SOOOOOO PROUD OF SCBAND!!!!!

It's not like the gold was expected. It just wasn't very confirmed that we would get a gold the night practice before SYF, cos it was as if we played a terrible april fool's prank on mr tan. But today we totally rocked the SCH stage! It was "the best we have ever played".

We:
1)Breathed in DEEP AND LOUD
2)Took comfort in breathing when we were scared
3)were on fire
4)played like mad women

The band really learnt to breathe properly today. As the instructors said, there are 365 days, but this is the one day you MUST breathe properly. And we did! I have never ever breathed till my lungs hurt in my entire life. Till now I'm still kind of breathing in alot..;D

The point is, my mind was singing along with the band during overture 1 and die fledermaus, and when we hit the final note and stood up, I was grinning and thinking "YES THIS IS IT THE BEST IT COULD BE"!! State of euphoria for everyone and everyone was exchanging the phrase "good job". :D:D:D And when we went into the hall again, our efforts for these 6 months have been rewarded with a deserving gold! It was what we have all along been wishing and working hard for.

Thanks to mr tan, mr khoo, sebastian, teacher ics, and everyone who wished band goodluck;D

Now that the stress of SYF is over, I feel very empty. Nothing to look forward to anymore:/ It'll just be normal practice and mentoring the sec ones...sigh. Now then I realise how much I've enjoyed the process of preparing for SYF, and how sweet success tastes:D

Ivan: Who are you calling wang en fu yi? Say again?
Xinfei: Can go bandfusion website to see the results of all the bands in sgp..and we got gold!:D
Lyeann: Thanksthanksthanksssss!

I'm back to the old rubik's craze again. Been doing patterns on my cube, jumbling the whole thing and solving it when I messed up the patterns. It entertains me.:D

So I'll say today was productive and the session with Sebastian boosted our morales..well at least mine if not all. I thought we sucked everytime during combined cos we'll never perform up to standards. Hmph. Sebastian's real good at telling us and letting us picture what he wants us to play like. I like overture one, at least our four quavers are rather slurred now.(i guess?)Ohhhh and omg he's hilarious. "eh don't tell him ah, later he emo then his other eye spoil." If you know what happened and you picture the scenario you'll laugh your head off;D

Tutoring session on Tues again, can't wait!

Peishan: Finally saw you after don't know how many months! Still so scared of being poked;D

I wanna thank mel so much! Cos we had SMP meetup with Professor Yau and the dunman and NTU people at NTU. After the sharing session we had lunch tgt, Prof's treat! It was buffet and mel was being such a glutton by being the first to go take the fruits and everything! Hahahahahaha. Anyways, I was almost gonna be late for my P6 friends outing and I had to rush and take taxi to Plaza Sing from NTU. >:/ Mel was sooo nice as she took the taxi with me to PS even though she did not strictly have to go PS to get her stationaries(: Thanks mel. That's why mellie bee rocks the most! She even rushed with me up to the cinemas there and into the toilet with me! Aw so niceeeee!

We then watched Race to Witch Mountain. Quite nice, I thought the children DID look like aliens, somehow..And then just walked around aimlessly and in the end we got pangsehed by tz cos he went off with his friends! Hmph. Then at the mrt aaron was in such a big hurry and rushed into the mrt without qx ivan and me! Hmph! So we were the wandering souls abandoned by many people:/ Wasn't that fun afterall.

So the purpose of this post was to thank mel actually! Byebyeeee.

I love band camps. Especially this one.

I can't believe and I didn't even realise it's the sec 4s last band camp. I feel quite sad as I realise that Janine's gonna step down VERY VERY VERY soon. I'm not gonna be used to it.): No more seniors to talk to or complain to, no one to ask for help anymore.): The idea's kind of intimidating.

Through this band camp, I feel and know that the band has improved tremendously in terms of tone quality, emotions, dynamics! I feel that the band has got more drive and with this I am confident of achieving a gold should we remember everything that we've learnt from this camp and everything that the hongkong guy has taught us:D We've really worked on alot of musical aspects for die fledermaus and overture no.1 and it'll show in our section, at least! [I demand]

And also because of this camp our band has fostered better communication with the instructors:D I thought that was great. No more wall between us again, ever! And the instructors were so nice! They bought $500 worth of Haagen Dazs for the whole band! Love the macadamia nut brittle and passionfruit ice cream;D But I got really full after eating say one third of it all:/ Didn't want to waste any icecream, especially Haagen Dazs icecream! Man!

We shall give it our BEST shot for that fifteen minutes on stage and walk off with no regrets. And in my heart, we're already a gold band.

Ivan: Wah you damn mean to me leh. But no worries, I'll get my treat on friday!

Monday to wednesday: band camp
Thursday: Geog project
Friday: SMP meeting
Saturday: Piano and Band "rehearsal" at AMK
Sunday: "chiong-homework-the-whole-day" day

Sigh. Two proper days to do homework. And I haven't even included the day I'm supposed to go out with P6 clique:/ If my hols are really gonna be like that, I can just dream about going out..sigh. I want my takos, Ivan!

Band for the whole day today. Sebastian didnt come again! Our section needs help! We need someone to point out our mistakes so that we won't make anymore stupid mistakes during combined!

I found out that my sound's better if I don't warm up too much. Like for example overture one, I like my accents much more than my very warmed up sound(: I really like overture one now, provided I don't feel too stressed and screw up my F and Eflat..Oh, and I'm getting ulcers from playing too hard. Braces>:/

I lovelovelove Noah's ark and El camino real! Leewei and I would be very happy to get the chance to play Noah's ark someday, while I'm still in band(:

I guess it's homework time.

My OBS experience-A once in a lifetime encounter

OBS was undoubtedly the most enriching experience I have ever gone through in my entire life. We had to spend five days at Pulau Ubin without our families by our side, the daily comforts that we used to take for granted, and deal with the five days of vigorous physical activities which resulted in sore muscles, bruises, and numerous mosquito bites. Many of us were homesick by the first night and we would walk to the coast of base camp and just stare longingly at mainland Singapore. By the end of the fifth day though, we have learnt to deal with our tiredness and discomfort, and tried to curb our homesickness. The main activities that were mentally and physically draining were the land expedition which involves trekking 7km with a heavy backpack and sea expedition which involves kayaking for 10km through mangrove swamps. These expeditions tested our endurance for long hours of active trekking with a huge burden on our backs, and also the protesting aches of arm muscles while kayaking. Besides the taxing activities, we also learnt how to cook food in the outdoors and to pitch tents in the wild. It was definitely a challenge to cook our own meals with grumbling stomachs and to pitch our own beds with tired hands after a long day. These were the moments when I felt hot and thirsty, wet and cold, tired and frustrated, with myself and my watch members. However, it was also thanks to these moments when I discovered my inner strengths and resources which I never knew existed within me. I never knew I could find it in me to comfort discouraged friends, nor did I know that I was so strong in controlling my own feelings and helping other people when I myself have not done what I needed to do.

One memorable incident that I would always keep with me of OBS was the trust fall which all OBS participants would have to take part in. For this activity, one person has to stand on a higher elevation and fall backwards onto a sheet held by her watch members. For the person to be courageous enough to fall, she has to trust that her watch members would prevent her from hitting the ground to their best ability, which was to hold on tight to the sheet and never let go. When it was my turn, I was hesitant to fall. I felt extremely insecure as I glanced back to see the sheet stretched taut due to the force applied by all my watch members. I worried that one of the members would suddenly let go to relieve an itch, or for any reason. My instructor Hairi told me to trust them, and fall with ease. Thoughts circulated in my mind, and I came to this understanding. If I cannot trust my watch, who could I trust in this five days when we live together? With that thought, I fell backwards and as I opened my eyes with relief, I see my watch members bent forward due to the impact of my weight, but all smiling as they have just successfully protected their friend, I, from hitting the ground. That was an enlightening moment as I learnt to trust.

Throughout this OBS course, we had a sharing session almost every morning with Instructor Hairi. Hairi shared one particular reflective story with our watch which I thought was really meaningful. It is a story of a butterfly in a cocoon, where the butterfly tried to get out of the small hole that it had made on the cocoon. After a long time, it was still stuck in the cocoon and a man who witnessed the process of the butterfly trying in vain to get out decided to help the butterfly by cutting a bigger hole on the cocoon to free the butterfly. The man then continued to observe the butterfly. He found out that it could not fly even though its wings have dried, and it had a swollen body. It turned out that the butterfly was supposed to have squeezed itself through the small hole on the cocoon to squeeze out the liquid from its swollen body, thus reducing its weight and enabling it to fly. Because of the man’s “kind-heartedness”, the butterfly was useless in that it could not fly for its whole life.

In the case of the butterfly, it got help from someone when it was faced with a challenge, and it got the easy way out. However, it suffered later on as it could not fly and was stuck with a swollen body. Indirectly, the kind-hearted man who wanted to help the butterfly was actually harming it. He would have helped the butterfly even more by doing nothing. In life, people should go through obstacles to toughen themselves up and emerge a wiser person. We should not accept help from people if we know we have the capabilities to overcome a challenge. There is no easy way out for anyone in life, and it is better for us to work hard first, and enjoy later. If help comes readily, a person will never succeed in life as he would be dependent on others forever, just like the butterfly. This story has had a great impact on my view of life as during the OBS course, I realized that Hairi never gave us the easy way out. He would always require us to test our strengths, and think of ways to overcome problems. He understood that for us to really succeed and feel proud of our achievements, we had to overcome obstacles by ourselves with no outside help. If he had helped us, we would forever be dependent on his help and never be able to help ourselves. OBS has therefore helped to shape my viewpoint of life and its meaning, and that story would forever be etched on my mind, constantly reminding myself to persevere in face of challenges. As the OBS motto goes, “To serve to strive and not to yield!”

What the hell I made up my mind to do homework once I reached home but once I switched on the computer the first thing I do is to log in to facebook and here I am msning and blogging and facebooking away while my pile of essays and projects lay neglected on the floor. Should I do my homework and lessen my workload for the next two days or just go and sleep?D:

MARCH HOLS I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO COME. Come now pleaseeeD:

Hah. I'm feeling real moody now..partly due to the irritable sandfly and mosquitoes(?) bites that started showing up a few days ago which made my whole arms itch terribly. Sucks ttm. So like, sorry if I snap or whatever.

Now I think I have STM. Thought of a lot of things to say actually, but the moment I completed the paragraph my mind just went blank. What the. Zzzzzzz.

Oh right. I'm mostly quite satisfied with my test marks, especially chem! 34/35 included with 2 bonus marks. Yay.

Now I'm rushed for time to brush my teeth cos apparently I HAVE to sleep by 10 and look at the time now.

as only OBS can do to one

2009-02-27T20:22:00.000-08:00

I survived OBS!

It rocked it sucked it rocked it sucked it rocked.

:D

Ultimately it rocked still and I miss OBS so much now D:(But damn the mosquitoes and sandflies and whatever insects that bit me, I HATE YOU!)

I didn't know I had it in me to go through hardship, to control my emotions, to comfort others, to work as a BARKER, to handle the dirt and stench of rotting shoes(I can totally remember the smell and I feel like gagging right now), to cooperate with people who are totally opposites. I hated OBS on the first day, eating dry rations and sleeping in smelly tents, and I hated it even more on day 3, the land expedition day as we had to trek for the entire day carrying bombass heavy backpacks and 3 litres of water and food, through forests with swarms of mosquitoes that feasted on you immediately should you stop walking. We couldn't even bathe after trekking and that sucked hell lot. People were crying and my resolve wavered just a little bit after seeing them. I felt like giving up and go home and just forget about the whole thing. But I knew it was a cowardly thought and was determined to pull through the most horrible day of my life.

Day 4-sea expedition was a blast. We kayaked the whole day through mangrove swamps for the entire morning, and then moved on to the sea in the afternoon back to base camp. It's kind of exciting to kayak through mangroves actually. There's always the thrill of paddling off course and getting stuck in hanging mangrove roots. Nah actually I prefer hearing other people scream their way out and instructor Hairi splashing water on the screaming people:D We had to cross four portages and our watch just cooperated. It was, as Hairi says, the highest point of the five days in OBS, as we laughed and shouted and sang together despite aching arms and bursting bladders to achieve the final goal as a watch. I REFUSE to pee in the seaD: Ugh. P.S and despite getting hit on my ear, arm, mouth, and shoulders by the stupid kayak paddle for FIVE times by different people. How unlucky can I get please. My mouth is still sore over the cruel blow):

Regardless of how uncooperative Barker has been on other days, I think we do rock in some ways still. At least we realised our mistakes and understand it's our mission "to serve to strive and not to yield"! And like, Hairi was more open to us and gosh, I didn't know he could SHOUT!(:

For me, I have learnt my stronger points through OBS like how much endurance and perseverance I have, and my weaknesses. The group reflections kind of helped actually, no matter how much I hate to share:/ I'll never ever throw away the reflections, the cert, the group photo, the shirts, the notebooks, and never ever forget my very own OBS adventure.

Cos it's a once in a life time thing.

Ivan: Whatever cat!
Cheryl: Yeah, it's okay. There's no point in getting frustrated just cos you've got phlegm, cos I still havent recovered from my stupid cough!

I'm like really looking forward to it, but something just has to spoil it. Sigh pleasepleaseplease let me go through OBS without a single hitch(including lots of stuff that would inconvenience me):)

Even though like now it seems that I have so much time to complete all homework due the week right after OBS-amath project, SS project, study for lit and physics and so on, truth is I only have this weekend and next weekend to complete. I'm screwed.

My yellow file's in pieces. I need to file all my stuff like right now(tmr) to avoid over expansion of the spine and cause the whole thing to break apart. I hate you worksheets!

Goodluck everyone for section auditions. And tbones are gonna pwn Mr Khoo for basketball, and whatever we're playing!

Ahhhhh I thought I woke up quite early today, 7.15 and expected to reach school at 8.35 which is like 10 mins before when we're supposed to reach band room..and I received a call from janine who hurriedly said that band starts at EIGHT! AHHHHHHH was panicking like shit but there was nothing I could do about it, only to run all the way from the triangle bus stop to band room. Rawr why must I always end up running to band on sats???:/ Whole section was late and was punished to clean band room after band...hah. Not bad, just arrange the chairs:D

Soundcheck at SCH, I thought our section did pretty well, except for overture one when I made the most grievous mistake of not playing the first note of bar 2>:/ Panda growls. As a whole band though, we sounded terrible:/ Mistakes everywhere which made everyone cringe and groan and for the less sensible, laugh. Wth. As if it's very funny. The conductors were just gasping in shock and stuff:O HORRIBLE.

But anyway, we're gonna work harder, so jiayou for SYF!

Had a full section outing after band, where we tompang mr khoo's car to taka..hehe. Ate at pepper lunch and was almost forced to show my ezlink:O No wayyyy. But mr khoo's photos are real funny and cheryl just slid off the chair upon seeing the whatever card, laughing her head off. Was quite fun, our section talked alot about alot with mr khoo. Then he went off seeing we were doing nothing productive(like watching a movie) and we just went to window shop and camwhore.

Lastly, happy valentine's day:D

Suharyo: Not blur, just too engrossed in bio.
Lyeann: Yeah sydney's file! And twilight was amusing right!

This is bliss.

I'm unwinding, trying to make up for studying so much these two days. Amath and physics-the killer subjects:/ I didn't know amath could be so horrible, omg! I spent half the time figuring out what methods to use to solve the questions, sucksss! All the time my head was just a whirl of surds, indices, exponential equations and such, and like, I can count all the marks I've lost. It's so heartbreaking): Physics test was easier than expected. At least I can safely say that I get physics finally.

By just not studying for any common tests, it's the most wonderful thing to me already and I'm super grateful for that.

Yesterday band prac was just crap. You know, I always get this feeling that our band has got lots and lots of problems, which is so unlike other bands. Other bands have got their priorities right and they love band so much, and they always manage to get good results because they put in effort and they take sectionals seriously. I know all these because I've been through 4 years in primary school and this is darn shameful because I know very well that a primary school band can be so much more serious in attending practices than a secondary school band. The juniors, P2s and 3s, look up to their seniors and do EVERYTHING we ask them to do. Be it "shut up" or "play this note", they'll do so willingly. Even though we didn't know what SYF was all about, until we were outside VCH and trembling and thinking "this is it, we're gonna get the gold". Even though it was our very first SYF. We managed to get the gold, and we maintained the gold for three consecutive years ever since the band was first started. We didn't even know what it was like to get a silver. I was so, so proud of cvps band.

Then came secondary school. Once I joined band, I knew I had to be committed to it. We got a silver, and I was disappointed. Really. For rather petty reasons such as "why is it that cvps band can get a gold and our band got a silver?", and my brother was still gleeful over the fact that they got their third gold and we got a silver. I thought for sometime, and I decided that we must get a gold for the next SYF, my fourth and probably my last(unless I join band again in JC). This time, the whole band worked hard together from october last year till this year. We all worked hard together, all going through the same process. Why is it that we can't seem to improve as much as expected by the conductors?

Uhuh, we got scolded badly by Mr Tan yesterday again. The only silver lining I could find was that our section didn't get derogatory remarks such as "rubbish". I was really agitated when it was 3pm and like almost a quarter of the band was gone for freaking swim meet. Priorities, people. It was irresponsible and stupid to pon band prac just to attend the swim meet, whether to take part in the relay or just be the time keeper or whatever. It was a huge disappointment to those who went for band prac dutifully and had to face a tirade I know Mr Tan had suppressed for long. In fact, I was surprised at how he hadn't just screamed at us and walk out of the band room, given our attitudes. At least go for all the band practices if not for extra sectionals, given that SYF is in 6 weeks time.

And really, if we aren't already at a high silver now, I find it hard to even imagine us getting a gold in just six weeks time.

Perhaps, if we can take band pracs seriously from now on and push on, not talking during band pracs, taking at most one break during sectionals, understand what SYF really is for those people who have NOT participated in any yet, and put in the utmost effort on perfecting both pieces, I think, we may still stand a chance.

No matter how slim.

Dear 2x2x2 cube, I'm gonna conquer you soon!

My messed up rubik's cube (incidentally, it requires abit of skill and effort to mess one up. I hate to see two sides of same colour side by side after I've messed them all up!)

Tadah! Solved in 4 mins 56 sec

mella(1+e)

and again

Tisa!

Mel the gong

Mel the unglam!

Above pictures were taken in macs of science center yesterday.

I like my new red handphone! It's so uber cool and shiny! The good thing is, it is has a lot of memory space:D, and there's unlimited sms. Tried the 3G function for the first time in my life despite the fact that my previous ugly phone was a 3G phone too cos wenyuan wanted to try video calling me. I feel like I'm missing out on alot. 3G 's so cool I just realised! Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah!

Mr Khoo Swee Chiow is real inspiring. After his talk I could link almost everything to climbing a mount everest. Just look at all that he had done, hanging on the line separating life and death. Whatever problems we have could be easily overcomed, like, to produce bell tones everytime we practise our trombones. Right, section?

Xinmin has motivated us to work harder, I believe. Combined sectionals with them was kind of stressful as we know that they ARE better than us. Plus, with mr tan taking our section and seeing the way he treated them O.O No wonder the guy called Gary wanted to switch place with yanting after break. He was like "eh I switch place with you lah, I stand here very stressful leh! It's time you get scolded" to her, what! But that's not the point. We have to start learning good techniques from their section and sound good, like real trombones and not powerpuff girls. Their section's really strong, three sec fours, two sec threes, and two sec twos. And we have only one sec four, one sec three, and three sec twos. Booooooo. We lack in so many things. I really really really hope that our section can achieve that kind of brilliance within a month. Good tongueing + good articulation + good tones.

Leewei! How could you not care about meeting curly at all! After all the comics me and Lyeann drew for you! You are supposed to make the comics come true you know, including the comic that I drew behind your letter. Right rapunzel? Haha.

Tell you all the butt of all jokes yesterday. Was at science center macs after the SMP research talk(oh, we were the latest bunch of people, embarrassing much. Everyone was staring at us), then I started talking about the potato stained with iodine by mrs mohan to let us see the starch grains during bio, then when it was my turn I turned and said to a puzzled cashier:

"One large potato please"

OMG. THAT WAS SO EMBARRASSING. He just "huh-ed" me and I hurriedly rectified my mistake before turning and dissolving into laughter. Rawr. Imagine him giving me a large potato instead of fries.

what elements can be used to create a weapon?
Potassium, Nickel, and Iron. KNiFe.

Good chem joke!

Ok, jokes over and end of post!

Leanne: I'm not exactly overjoyed over having juniors either. Probably cos it's gonna take up LOTS of my limited time!

You know, I realised that I always blog about TIDE and stuff, and you people always see the link on top, but never ever seen what TIDE really is. So, there you go!

Should have posted this up ages ago, but just kept forgetting until now, when I was just looking through all my pictures in my documents.:D It was as if we agreed on what colour to wear, haha. We're the TIDE traffic light, with ivan being the pole.

Finally went out with primary school clique yesterday(: Watched the wedding game and just tried to kill time. Too bad, I was in school uniform and couldn't play arcade.

Ohyes, our section got a scholar and a sec one for juniors..wangyun and valerie. I thought we could have three juniors): Ohwell.

And cos I thought Mel was gonna do that :O expression again, tadah!

I like this pic, by far the best yet. Only that I seem to be looking elsewhere:/

And lastly, a candid photo of mel who looks so wise with a green background..sounds like confucious omg!

Admit it, I'm a good photographer;D

SMP opening launch was fun! Met Derrick there at Ngee Ann Poly, didn't know that he's taking SMP too! That's so cool cos I never dreamt that I would ever meet anyone from other schools that I know in SMP cos I didn't see any familiar names in the SMP list. Mel, his group got the biofuel project in the SECOND round while we slogged our guts out listing all the reasons and knowledge and we didnt get into the THIRD round even!>:/ But at least we got a project in the end, that's enough for us to rejoice for:D

I liked the part on safety rules in the laboratory! Lab-bit is SO CUTE! And the professor is real humourous. No wonder he caught all our attention after the boring parts.

Conclusion for this post with a math equation:
mella + emella = mella(1+e)

Finally completed all OBS forms. It's such a chore! And I swear I was shocked when the doctor claims that I'm 164. Like what I didn't grow at all since last year?! She saw my expression and thought I was shocked cos I was so tall. Right. Then I was even more horrified when she wrote "162" for my height like what?! Screams internally like Mr Tan(haha). What she says is another thing from what she writes. The good thing is that I'm certified as FIT for OBS!:D

Height and weight for PE proved much more satisfying. I'm 166cm, see, I knew there was something wrong with the measuring thing at the clinic. Either that, or there was parallax error when the doctor measured my height..she's like until my neck lah..ahaha. PE lesson itself was another rather satisfying event. We ran 1.2km after months of inactivity, just lazing around at home. Finally felt the invigoration that ensued after a good 6 rounds around the track. But can feel that I deproved alot, and stitches are my worst enemy during long runs! Rawr. They always come like after the first round and I'll have to endure them for the rest of the 5 rounds): What's gonna happen for 2.4!

(Just realised this is a super bad post if you look from a physician's POV. NO UNITS! Haha.)

Hm. I feel so turned off by my messy bed that I shant go on any further. Not that I had much to say in the first place. It's all just homework and school right?

Today was the longest day since start of this year. You would think, oh first period was CE and all we did was to put up CNY decorations and it's all so relaxing right? Amath next and it was manageable. Surds is way easier than indices!

Then came the most challenging period-DOUBLE PHYSICS. Omg. It's mentally draining cos we had to do four graphs which had really weird scales set on purpose and we're supposed to think of our own scales. Mr Cheong was saying he couldn't claim the credit of killing us cos the paper was not set by him. Hah. Then the physics teachers would walk around the lab looking at our graphs and I was halfway through my second challenging graph and was half dying and the teacher said "no your graph is not big enough you should leave 4cm at the bottom at most" and I had to erase and redraw the whole graph! Grrr. Walked out of the lab feeling light headed(cos all my brain juices were used up).

After that was DOUBLE HIGHER CHINESE. We spent the two periods doing zuowen and that's really tiring too. I really don't like to check the dictionary. It wastes energy. Haha, that's why I gave up halfway and took to using mel's electronic dictionary to check words:D But I completed the zuowen and that's another accomplishment for the day.

Then geog. Sigh. I forgot to do the describe the photograph and had to go out to do it, fast. Stupidzz. Luckily I was not alone or imagine the embarrassment. That kind of spoilt my day though, cos I accomplised so much and felt so tired alrd and I had to forget to do my homework-..-

Had a quick lunch and zikun mel and I embarked on the long and tiring journey to NIE all the way at the west. First we took bus to commonwealth(I think) then mrt-ed to boon lay and switched to bus to NIE. Was like 2 mins late cos it took 1h30mins to reach there from school. Kind of underestimated the time. And amazingly we didn't lose our way! Met Professor Yau, our mentor for SMP. It was quite fun at the D&T workshop cos there was a class he was conducting and we were seated in the classroom. He started by introducing himself and a lady called hweeling(not sure if spelt like that) who's his assistant I think. Couldn't hear him that properly cos the class was really noisy. He said our sc uniform is really unique and asked if any other schools have the same uniform, and then started asking his students if they knew which school we were from. Haha. That was somewhat entertaining.

Anyway, our SMP project is on the Rubik's Cube. We have to learn the history, structure, and mathematics behind the Rubik's Cube, which inevitably means we have to learn to solve it. Which is kind of fun if you come to think of it. Cos I have been wanting to learn it proper and memorise all the formulas. Shall start now:D Prof Yau also showed us all the various forms of Rubik's Cube, and he showed us this website on the Rubik's Cube. You know what. There's actually a 100x100x100 rubik's cube! That's madness. All I could see was a muti coloured cube, couldn't distinguish each square at all. He also mentioned that should we be able to learn all the concepts fast, he would like us to try creating a new type of structure which is the throwing ball. You know, the ball that changes colour when you throw it? It's cool. But have to learn the joints which is realllyyyyy complicated! & he lent us SMP proposals by other schools to give us an idea what our end product would be like.

After today I would never think that not having a proper lunch doesnt matter. Cos it matters. I had a handroll for lunch and by 6 I was kind of hungry. Plus, I'm carsick. So when mel's mum drove us home I was feeling so uncomfortable and felt like puking anytime. Horrible. So I nodded off and when I woke up and swallowed I tasted bile! It's the bitter taste that lingers in your mouth which is like the aftertaste of vomit. Retch! Ewwww I hate being carsick. It's so inconvenient):

OBS in one months time! Linda's so super enthu about it! I'm just a bit scared about the things previous sec 3s said about OBS. Plus the reasons I shared with Lyeann which I'm not about to disclose here. And Marcus had to scare me more by saying that people drink chlorinated water at OBS and they are "brown brown de"-..- Omg la. But still, I look forward to OBS!

Cheryl: Haha, right. I didn't watch ratatouille anyway.

The whole school was so happy about the o level results today! 10 9A1 scorers and above 40 7A1 scorers, cool! And our chinese improved way alot from 40+% to 88%..right? About there. I dunno why, but when the sec 3s filed into the hall I felt like I was gonna receive my o level results and felt so jittery and nervous.o.o Wonder what's wrong with me. Leewei's senior Georgina got into the top 30 scorers for O level! Haha, so smart. That's just getting an A1 for ALL the subjects I'm taking which seems pretty difficult. I would be quite content with 6A1s(or more):D Jiayou to reach that goal! And I guess pretty much the whole class feels the stress to continue the legacy of good results for sc.

The best thing is we have a school holiday on the 28th Jan cos of good O level results! Yay thanks previous year sec 4s! Lyeann and I are planning to play audi on that day hehhh! Train our chance 6.

Now weekends are like, friday use computer, saturday band and piano and computer, and sunday's the homework day. Feel so lazy la!

Anyway, hope Ms Goh accepts my lit collage. Cos I handed in one copy alrd, and I have the sudden urge to redo it and here I am searching for pictures and doing a much better version. I need to get good marks for my lit!

And apparently Leanne I would have known that Mr Koh is Sebastian right. Mr Khoo introduced him to us, you think I'll be so deaf that I couldn't hear?-.-

Band was so satisfying today. I think mainly because trombones finally got a tutor:D I learnt quite alot from him today, like to breathe in really deep until every cell is filled with oxygen(haha, joking) and to sustain the low notes, and our section finally could produce the zingy trademark sound of trombones! No kidding, we sounded awesome! Loud and blasty enough to make Mr Koh abit deaf he claims. But that's good enough for us;D

First we did B flat chromatically down and he pointed out all the problems we had, like how I don't breathe properly and deeply. Funniest was Cheryl, she kept playing her trombone to one side which is a bad habit according to him. And then we did the projection exercise, he stuffed cloth into our bells and we had to breathe in lots of air and push it out with air. We sounded like cows with the cloth heh. Leanne was the one who could push the cloth out first. 佩服佩服! So I got more motivated and managed to blast the cloth out. Hah. In the end I think all of us blasted the cloth out and our sound improved by leaps and bounds! That zing was in there in every single note, and it was so freaking loud! SO so proud of our section:D Mr Koh mostly talked about good techniques after that, and showed us how to apply slide oil(?). Aiya, means the small and big bottle of stuff for our slides la! Say bye to slide cream and dirty hands! Oh, and he mentioned practising our trombones everyday cos one can feel the difference if one does not play for just one day and everyone can tell that person has not practised if that person has not played for two days.o.o Then he suggested borrowing home the mouthpiece to practise while doing math homework. Haha. Janine said the saliva would drip on us and he said "what you're scared of your own saliva? Well I'm not, I swallow it everyday." HAHA! Good one!

After that we joined the band for combined. Urgh, I need to brush up on my Overture one, I'm abit rusty after not playing for almost one month. The stress is there that I'm the only trombone playing what I'm playing!! Must get it right on SYF! Then die fledermaus and we tried with the fast tempo. Was disastrous at the first attempt:/ We'll all aim to sound like the imeem die fledermaus! Wenyuan if you're reading this thank me cos I reminded you to listen to it;D

The new msn's blinding me-..-Shouldn't have downloaded it. Now as Ivan says wait until the messenger plus of this comes out then download again.

School's hectic this few days and which I believe will get even busier with SMP starting very soon, and section auditions, and prep for SYF.:/ Don't even need alice to predict this...Siann. It's overwhelming to have so much homework everyday when you reach home that you find that the urge to use the comp isn't there anymore, but the priority has become homework. I mean, well that's the ideal priority we all should have, but now I don't even have time to use the comp for long hours with exception of today, TGIF! There's this mindset that since we are sort of already preparing for O levels we should take sec 3 seriously.

Yesterday was the first time this year that TIDE had a mass convo again;D With the exception of Dorcas:/

Ok I swear I officially hate the new msn cos it made all my chatlogs disappear, cannot view colours(which is so important cos of the TIDE in my display name), does not have special functions like sounds, super soft nudges(you won't understand why this matters:D), blindingly bright msn screens. All of that equates to unsatisfying. Hmph.

Bio was fun today! Had double period practical lessons and was spent on examining cells using the light microscope. Then our group also took one slide that has blood as specimen and I couldn't seem to locate the red blood cells o.o So weird! Maybe the blood has been dried up so much that the red blood cells dried up too hahahaha;D

Love bio loads!

School's cool, just that the amount of homework keeps increasing by the day. But I'm proud to say that I'm managing my time pretty well. Had to stay back to prepare for walk about on monday and stay back for the actual walk about yesterday. Reached home at 6 for both days, and I managed to complete all my homework in spite of my aching body and tiredness that threatened to engulf me. It's funny how sometimes I feel super tired at 8pm, then as I do more homework I get more and more alert and then I wouldn't feel so drowsy anymore. Haha.

So orientation on monday was so-so..Kind of screwed up instant concert cos we slowed down for no reason at all-.- Why does it seem like we can never have a perfect wonderful concert without screwing it? I hate that feeling of dissatisfication, like the concert was not really complete and I want to redo the whole thing. Even if it was just for the sec ones. Okay, strive to do really well for SYF can alrd! And then walk about was draining. The sec ones are so unenthu and few wanted to try the trombone. We got 70+ signups, think we got 100 last year.O.o Ah and don't need to talk about my year, the response was so bad that now we've got 10 ppl in our level. Hah. The time we stayed back to do the games for walk about was quite wasted cos the sec ones didn't even want to play. Too intimidated ah.

Now, I gotta do my homework! After this well deserved rest:D

Band today was an experience for me, one of a kind(:

Before that, I was running all the way from the busstop opposite school to the band room cos I am very scared of being late. Hah. I hate to be called out for warnings like "don't be late next time" and stuff. Embarrassing much! Started off with drills, and sec 3s had to fall out and "conduct" drills. Omg. It was like dui4 niu2 tan2 qin2, just that the band did follow our commands, but did their worse job out of it. As we watched Janice who was the first we got kind of freaked out cos like seriously they wouldn't do what they did if it was mr tee standing in front. Haha. I was wondering what would happen if I said "sec 4s march properly!" Is that considered impudent? I didn't dare to try in case it really was.

So it was my turn. Did keblakan, kekiri, kekanan, and hentakaki was quite the worst. All the horse kicking and no ninety degrees hahahha. I felt like laughing when I saw them marching like that. So I decided to "punish" them abit by asking them to lift up their left legs ninety degrees, then right legs. Muahahahah! Anyway Adilah suggested it, not like I was that creative. Nevertheless, it was a huge relief to let amelia take over from me;D

Then band prac. Did warmups and Mr Tan came. Omgggg he set up my old instrument and I thought he was gonna use the trombone to play and yet conduct the band. Instead he occupied the seat Leanne was supposed to sit and joined our section for practice! He's amusing, kept disturbing nicolette/natalie from trumpets and said to us that she didn't have any reaction hahahaha! Then he would nudge me or lingli like er..lol. He played really loud, almost couldn't hear myself and the rest of the section! But he's a great motivator, was like "we'll do a better gliss right?" for instant concert. Heeh. And Big Fun we stood up and when clarinets wanted to stand up too he said "hey you don't want to steal our glory!" Hahahaha! Not that bad for him to join our section after all! Only I hope he would sit next to someone else next time;D

That concludes the wonderful band practice today!

Ivan: Haha. Right.

First day of school, only 15 familiar faces, and the rest are people from other classes or scholars. There are 15 scholars in our class of 38 people, can you believe it? I had a "vision" that I would sit with a scholar..which I thought won't come true cos I would of course choose my own friends, then today we had to sit according to register number like in sci labs and the person with register number just before me is a vietnamese scholar! I was silently thinking "what my prediction came true?!" I can totally be another alice cullen;D

My partner's called thien, and she's very nice..hah. Said hi first thing and I can tell she's very hardworking and willing to learn. Kept asking questions, clarifying all her doubts. Then she suddenly said "sorry if I keep asking questions." Wow, she's so polite too! If I could have her kind of attitude, always asking questions;D but I'm too scared to piss the crap off people, hah.

So we met four of our sec 3&4 teachers-Ms tracy goh, Mr paul cheong, Mrs Mohan, and Ms belle tan. I think Ms tan's cool, should be able to motivate me even more on learning higher chinese:D She's humourous too! I so hope I don't get switched into the other hcl class!:/ Mrs Mohan jumped into an introduction to biology and gave us all the guidelines of bio O levels and stuff._. Linda voiced what I was feeling, so boring! Haha, if you were thinking omg linda's so brave to tell her that?you're dreadfully mistaken:D Just whispered to me hehh. Mr Cheong's our physics teacher who promised he will make those who didn't mention physics as a fav subject to LOVE the subject, hahah. Certainly hope he does. Lastly Ms Goh's our lit teacher who guaranteed us our A1s so long as we treat it as an art subject, constantly learning and not cramming at the eleventh hour. Good point! I look forward to seeing the rest of the teachers, hopefully no intros!

Big shit I keep forgetting that not all 2SY people are in 3SY! Rawr! Asked jiajia what's the name of our form teacher and she said uh we're not in the same class lols..what's wrong with me today! Left house today and left my waterbottle on the table, had to use an umbrella to hook the keys to get into the house:/ Hah just realised I'm a capable thief..heeheehhh...and then I tried to wear my sch uniform the wrong way before I realised what I was doing. What in the world brought about this bout of forgetfulness I do not know..but I'm disappointed that I didn't get to be bio rep..cos the two scholars who wanted to be told me "we are very close to each other so can you..." trails off into silence and looks at me hopefully. Well of course I gotta say sure I'll back out and let them two get the WONDERFULLEST job.): And I had to be AV rep. Big big sigh. Gotta ask linda to help me and lyeann mans!

I'll enjoy school nevertheless;D

Gee, not supposed to be using the computer for this two days actually, but couldn't resist the temptation.

I just want to thank all those dearest to me, and you know you are;D Have a great year ahead and for fellow sec 3s(soon to be), jiayou! For people with additional commitments like piano and SMP and demanding CCAs, good luck and I know you can do it!

Goodbye 2SY'08, I've had a memorable time this year!

Happy new year, people!

Ivan: Good cat!
Leewei: I know you are honoured, who wouldn't!:D

I'm in love with vintage skins;D

I've spent alot of time on my links, deleting most and only saving those whose blog owners mean alot to me:D So be honoured if your blog's on the list! And I assure you they are 100% accurate which means you won't be finding yourself in those irritating blog webs that says that this blog has been removed or sorry the blog you are looking for does not exist(: *Pats myself on the back*

So, anyways, band today and was Mr De Souza's last official band prac with us..haha surprisingly no one cried(maybe someone did but I was past noticing), unlike whitley band which according to Cassandra all cried including the boys! Woah. That's kind of unbelievable as I've always thought that guys tear ducts are dried up or smth. The whole band prac was devoted to practising pieces for sec one orientation. The sec ones better appreciate this, we could be spending time on our SYF pieces-..-

KIDDING!

It was fun to turn away from the seriousness of SYF(which is drawing closer and closer eeeee), and play something relaxing and know that the sec ones won't be able to tell if we're playing crap or what, heh. The fixed pieces are instant concert, winter, and big fun.

Omg, Mr Khoo pointed out that the sec 3s(going sec 4s) are gonna leave the band in about 3 months that's so fast!:O Time flies when you are least expecting it.

I feel kind of turned off by everyone saying that SY class is the mugger class. Stress! I'm not some mugger who rushes home everyday and flips the textbook to absord everything! But such a slacker either, just the right equilibrium:D

By the way, does anyone feel frustrated and scared when watching scenes featuring yuzhu and robert now? I do! I feel so sorry for yuzhu):

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Omg, I didn't know that we would know our class allocation today, thought it was tomorrow. The moment I signed in to msn I see cheryl's display message and I was like o.o it's out alrd? I'm going 3SY, along with 14 other 2SYians.;D And then there's the smart scholars next year...I hope and will myself to be able to cope with the stress, good luck to me! Haha, was quite surprised that patrina congratulated me on facebook for getting into SY, apparently leewei told her.:D Panda's going 3GY! Can't disturb her anymore!D: OMG, dreadful! I just realised that I'm the only band member in 3SY next year!!!!! It sucks to have so little people as your levelmates sometimes:/ No one to rant about band matters.

But on a lighter and happier note, Lyeann and mellie boo are going 3SY too! That's 3/5 of FA5, at least;D

lit collage! Someone tell me what to do!

xinfei: Your pics are so much bigger and more satisfying than mine!
Kelvin: I tagged back;D
Janine: Hah yes I saw him!
LEANNE: Okayokay I didn't know Tonks was from Hufflepuff! And that's like BIG reaction from you lol.

To say the truth, I feel kind of disappointed even though I went to compass point to see the little nyonya cast. Rawr. The moment I reached there in every conversation I could hear the words "小娘惹", and the place was flooded-.- Can't breathe properly! My mum and I were trying to find a place where we could view the stage, and we went up to third level..outside kiddy palace there. I was on my toes for practically the whole thing. They said it'll start at 3 and I waited till 3.14 when they finally came out. Made me tip toe for nothing..Oh, there were a lot of false cheering, then everyone will start to cheer and look out for the cast then realise that people are just cheering for nothing, or just too excited.......-.-It was unbearably hot too! And the most irritable thing is that people kept touching you accidentally, and ugh!!!!!!! HMPH. Had a tough time staying out of people's nudges, and failing.

The cast came out in two groups. First group was the evil characters-xiufeng, Robert Zhang, Huang Tian Bao, Huang Jin Cheng, Huang Zhen Zhu. Too bad Charlie Zhang didn't go! He's the evilest of them all! They came in their nyonya costumes, and suits. Zzen(Robert Zhang)'s quite funny, hahahah....they were debating who was the most evil among them...and then the much anticipated group of people, the good character came out-Yueniang, Yamamoto Yousuke, Chen Xi, Huang Yuzhu, Chen Lao Tai, Ah Tao. Ah Tao's so cute!!! She kept waving to the crowd all around and said she hasnt come out and walk for a very long time, and the crowd scared her hahahaha! I find that I like jeanette aw much more as yueniang..more humble I guess. Then this group was discussing who was the most good character, and ah tao simply couldn't decide! As I said, cute! Even though I couldn't see their faces that clearly cos I was on the third floor, Dai Yang Tian(Yamamoto Yousuke) looked HAWT! He was wearing that outfit he wore in little nyonya, and he's so modest and stuff! I so envy those people who could see him clearly!!! And it is his birthday today, we all sort of celebrated his birthday with him, watching him blow the candles on the cake! Oh mannnnnn that's why I'm not that satisfied, abit disgruntled even, at not being able to see the cast properly and having to crane my neck, and tiptoe, and endure heads blocking my view. Hah. Being tall isnt enough, knowing transfiguration and being able to transfigure myself into a giraffe, or even better, a bird so that I could fly over everyone and see Dai Yang Tian!!! Haha! Wenyuan would love this;D

I LOVE 小娘惹 MUCH!

FANN: Merry christmas!
Leewei: Hahahahahahah! Merry christmas too!

Watched two movies in two consecutive days..3D Bolt with P6 people and Twilight with Lyeann! Bolt was a blast, maybe minus Ivan exclaiming at the vivid 3D pics and drawing a little bit of attention to our group. Oh Mel went too! I didnt know that until the day before...heeh. & then we went to pasta mania after much consideration and deliberation:/ The turkey spaghetti tasted horrible, too much garlic! I'm so vampirish;) But anyway twilight deviates from the usual vampire legends...twilight vampires ain't scared of garlic, thows reflections! Yeap then...we asked this guy to help us take pics..and he has either issues on taking photographs or just shakey hands, cos both pics were blurred and no good at all:/ We should really have just taken it ourselves...or as qx said, take candid ones to make into a video hahaha.

Twilight was not up to my expectations...only Edward looked like how I always imagined him to be..swoonnn! But he's quite awkward, not very edwardish. He's supposed to act like a know-it-all, confident, sweet, loving! But Robert should be the best for this role, after all no one could ever imitate the flawless vampire! Alice's cool too, I like her. I only enjoyed the baseball part, heh. The dance studio scene had me cringing omg. Okay besides the movie, I bought loads of stuff yesterday that I'm still feeling the guilt now): I'm left with zero dollars can! Bought a shirt with Lyeann, a Ripples bag, colour ink, yellow file and yellow notebook for next year! I'm so influenced by the yellow porsche alice wanted!

I didn't have a blog in P6, so I didn't get to record down my feelings after PSLE and stuff..so it's quite entertaining to read P6-ers blogs...haha. The feelings that we had exactly last time..all the talk about "oh we'll meet up and we'll never forget each other!" Sometimes, it's only fantasy, a dream that you'll soon wake up from in sec one. Damn happy to say that does not apply to me!:D Not with TIDE around! Sometimes I wonder how I ever get to be part of TIDE..we don't talk to one another that much in primary school. Was partner with Ivan in p4 and had the time of my life then..he's so funny! Always disassemble his correction tape when he leaves his desk haha! But drifted in P5 and P6..Then I always sit behind Dorcas during exams cos I'm just one register number behind her..haha. Can rmb the times when I would ask her lots of questions immediately after my paper was collected..*grins* Then tz...can't really remember anything at all. Just know him as the funny person who almost always forgets to wear his tie on mondays and is late quite often hahaha.

Shall go visit more twilight forums, stephenie meyer has given me loads of inspiration;D

Sentosa yesterday for section outing! Was draining..volleyballed with janine's smiley face ball, got dunked by my section minus michelle(didnt plan to go into the water at all) but was quite fun, build a moat, and pigged out. I think it was funnest playing ball..hate the seawater:/ Bleaghh. The salt hurts when stuck in my throat, was choking and gasping when threading water and accidentally going into the water): We stayed in the water for hours, lols. Just swam randomly and did formations haha. Camwhored and went home...

Alice: "I'll play you for it. Rock, paper, scissors."
Edward: "Why don't you just tell me who wins?"
Alice: "I do. Excellent."

AHH love alice cullen! Which is wenyuan too haha;D & I want a yellow porsche too!

I need to find the motivation to finish my chinese and lit homework! Rawr! Please people stop asking me to go out): There's section outing at sentosa, TWILIGHT with lyeann, a must have outing with p6 clique, and going vivo with kaima...boohooooooo must find time for homework..must stop going out and spending money!): All the money I earned from working were long gone!!!!! Hmph. Oh right. Tz owes me $10:D heeeheeeeeeee.

Geeeeez I really wonder who's reading my blog...HEY YOU WHO ARE YOU! Lol! Kay joking la..not so mean. But really....everyday I see the numbers going up and no one tags at all....blah. Now I know most are passerbys...

I didn't know that blue braces look so good! Used to have light blue braces that turned green by the end of the month...eeks..then this time I accidentally chose blue(i thought it looked purple) and it turned out great!:D

2nd CIP at SGH with mellie on thursday, met tricia and friend. Packed loads of medicine and the pharmacist said that I'm a 20% passed pharmacist! Haha. Quite cool, we learned how to read labels and identify the medicine, "so that next time we could come here to work part time" as quoted by Francis..heeh.

Ooohhhhh!! I cut my hair again leanne and cheryl! Haha, our section's going through a hair cutting period, next up will be leanne and janine! I finally got my long fringe cut, so irritating when the wind blows!

Im so bored, and Im not so motivated like Ivan my hardworking cat who finished all his homework in a matter of one week+ o.o...haha..Playing pets society in facebook now! hah![edit] sigh ivan claims that in 11 days he slacked for 6.5 days, and in all he took 4.5 days to complete his homework..happy now?[/edit]

E M I L Y says:
so mel and I were happily doing CIP, untill 4.30
E M I L Y says:
then the nurses said there's nothing left for us to do alrd
E M I L Y says:
really nothing
E M I L Y says:
so she asked us to sit down
E M I L Y says:
then we sat down
E M I L Y says:
and just chatted
E M I L Y says:
and looked around
SPACE says:
eh wait!
E M I L Y says:
?
SPACE says:
what department were you all at
E M I L Y says:
clinic C
E M I L Y says:
block 5 i think
SPACE says:
oooh
E M I L Y says:
then this fat uncle came to us
E M I L Y says:
and asked us what were we doing
E M I L Y says:
mel said CIP
E M I L Y says:
then he said
E M I L Y says:
oh, so CIP includes you warming the chair?
E M I L Y says:
WTH
SPACE says:
.... 0 00
SPACE says:
the nurse didn't see?
E M I L Y says:
one of them saw
E M I L Y says:
but only when the uncle kept talking to us
E M I L Y says:
and she didnt even come and interrupt us
E M I L Y says:
-.-
SPACE says:
hahahahaha
E M I L Y says:
wait ah
E M I L Y says:
alot of convos now
SPACE says:
aiya it's like that one lah
SPACE says:
haha okay
E M I L Y says:
ok
E M I L Y says:
then the first thing the uncle asked mel to do is
E M I L Y says:
SPEAK UP
E M I L Y says:
cos mel was sort of slurring her words
E M I L Y says:
then the uncle said, can you speak up? Im not going to kill you, no murderers here!
E M I L Y says:
so lame
E M I L Y says:
anyway
E M I L Y says:
i was beginning to dislike him
E M I L Y says:
i just kept quiet most of the time
E M I L Y says:
and looked at anywhere else but him
E M I L Y says:
then let mel do the talking
SPACE says:
...............................
E M I L Y says:
lol
SPACE says:
he's quite weird. - -
E M I L Y says:
yeah
E M I L Y says:
very busybody
E M I L Y says:
then he started saying is it compulsory to do CIP?
E M I L Y says:
then mel said yes
E M I L Y says:
then he asked
E M I L Y says:
you WANT TO or HAVE TO
E M I L Y says:
then she said have to
E M I L Y says:
i think we very frank with him
SPACE says:
he very lame leh
E M I L Y says:
then he said
E M I L Y says:
if you come here and just want to play the computer
E M I L Y says:
you'll do better to go home and just sleep
E M I L Y says:
you're just wasting everyone's time over here
E M I L Y says:
wth
SPACE says:
tell him
SPACE says:
i;m sorry but you can check sgh's website cause they actually encourage people to come here and be a volunteer
SPACE says:
it just happened that we have finsihed our work that were assigned to us too quickly
E M I L Y says:
woah
SPACE says:
and so the nurse had nothing more for us to do and told us to rest
E M I L Y says:
u should have been there
SPACE says:
if you have any problems with that maybe you should see the nurses or the person in charge
E M I L Y says:
WAHHH
SPACE says:
because we are really not in position to answer whether they want us to be here or not
SPACE says:
and for your information
SPACE says:
we are just trying to take up responsibility for what we signed up
SPACE says:
we said to leave at 5.30
SPACE says:
and that is what we will do
E M I L Y says:
yeahhhhhh!
SPACE says:
we do not know if the nurse would have any things for us to do even maybe the next minute after we end this conversation
E M I L Y says:
but we couldnt think of all that in the short frame of time
SPACE says:
but if that is what we signed up for, then we will stick to it.
SPACE says:
if you are angry confirm can de
SPACE says:
cause i just thought of it also what - -
E M I L Y says:
ooo
E M I L Y says:
anyway
E M I L Y says:
let me continue my story
E M I L Y says:
we said we had nothing else to do alrd
E M I L Y says:
and he said
E M I L Y says:
well, you can self teach
E M I L Y says:
you could be spending your time here wisely
E M I L Y says:
by looking around the room and thinking how else the chairs could be arranged
E M I L Y says:
or,
E M I L Y says:
you can examine this credit card thing
E M I L Y says:
and figure out how it works
E M I L Y says:
there are lots of thing you can do here
E M I L Y says:
instead of sitting and chatting, wasting everyone's time
SPACE says:
..... tell him we're not given the permission to do that
E M I L Y says:
lol
SPACE says:
and by chatting we could also be doing like what you say discussing about the arrangement
E M I L Y says:
YEAHHH
E M I L Y says:
mel thought of that on the mrt home
E M I L Y says:
lol
SPACE says:
if you have any feedback about the arrangement you can go find the hospital's feedback box
SPACE says:
i believe the hospital will be more than willing to accept your suggestion
SPACE says:
in our opinion, the arrangement and everything of this hospital is to its best already
SPACE says:
and the credit card thing isn't just by looking at it youll figure it out
E M I L Y says:
precisely
SPACE says:
because you have to dismantle the whole equipment
SPACE says:
i believe sir you wouldn't want us spoiling the things here
E M I L Y says:
lols
SPACE says:
and then it would cause more inconvenience to the publicc
SPACE says:
because they would not be able to pay by credit card
E M I L Y says:
cheryl WHY ARE YOU SO SMART AND SO ABLE TO THINK ON YOUR FEET!!!
SPACE says:
because i hate this kind of people?
E M I L Y says:
ME TOO
E M I L Y says:
i get lectured enough by my father at home
E M I L Y says:
if he's angry
E M I L Y says:
and i dun need to be lectured by a stupid busybody who doesnt understand the mindset almost all secondary school students have
E M I L Y says:
which is
E M I L Y says:
just get this over and done with
E M I L Y says:
then he started to insult his parents
E M I L Y says:
he said
E M I L Y says:
my parents are dumber than average
E M I L Y says:
i had to teach myself everything
E M I L Y says:
cos they're too dumb to teach me
E M I L Y says:
i told myself im not stupid
E M I L Y says:
so i made it, and went to university
E M I L Y says:
he makes everyone sound like they're inferior to him
E M I L Y says:
bet he doesnt even have children
E M I L Y says:
or wife
E M I L Y says:
he doesnt know what ppl think of him
E M I L Y says:
stupid man
SPACE says:
i suddenly thought of something really funny
E M I L Y says:
?
E M I L Y says:
say
E M I L Y says:
lol
E M I L Y says:
so long one
SPACE says:
'we are learning, we're learning to absorb and observe our surroundings because that is the first step to analysing them and understanding them. i;m sorry but after our observation and because of our analysing skills that we have learnt in school, i think you are one who should pay more attention to your parents because now is the age of self learning and your parents intelligence isn't a choice by them. after all that you have said to us about learning and making use of our time well, you seem to forget a very important lesson of life that is to be grateful to your parents. they are the ones who brought you into this world and you are speaking of all this in the hospital, a place where death is so common and life is so fragile. if you think by lecturing us makes you happier, then why not use this time that you have to call your parents and ask how was their day. that is a much more meaningful way to spend your time instead of telling us all this'

E M I L Y says:
LOL
E M I L Y says:
WOW
E M I L Y says:
CHERYL YOU ROCK
SPACE says:
i think i should save this conver down man
E M I L Y says:

SPACE says:
very long never scold people until so shuang already:D
E M I L Y says:
haha
E M I L Y says:
then he said
SPACE says:
huh haven't finish ah lol :D
E M I L Y says:
if i put two girls with different mindsets here to do cip
E M I L Y says:
i can guarantee that they will achieve more in a day than you girls
E M I L Y says:
it's the attitude that matters
SPACE says:
so funny.
E M I L Y says:
or the crap lor
SPACE says:
he can't find any students like that.
E M I L Y says:
make until me and mel like dunno where to look
SPACE says:
but that day me and lyeann and joyce saw these two girls
SPACE says:

E M I L Y says:

E M I L Y says:

E M I L Y says:
when he finally walked away
E M I L Y says:
i was so angry la
E M I L Y says:
i just daoed him
E M I L Y says:
u know at the end
E M I L Y says:
he said
E M I L Y says:
you girls can be doing your job by replying me
E M I L Y says:
it's not good for me to say everything right?
E M I L Y says:
then he was pointing at me
E M I L Y says:
i m not even obliged to answer him lor
SPACE says:
HAHAHA TELL HIM
SPACE says:
IF YOU WANT TO FIND SOMEONE TO TALK TO YOU
SPACE says:
THERE ARE HOTLINES YOU KNOW

YOU CAN POUR YOUR HEART OUT TO THEM

Haha, had some childish fun in toys R us, paikia's a baby! & we just walked about vivo, arcaded awhile(love air hockey), and decided to eat pizza;D We then walked about more and I almost bought a new future shorts, but too bad, it was TOO SHORT, I wouldnt wear it mans! Tried to find clothes/shorts but failed, and we went to marina square to BOWL! Omg, I think I deproved): I got C5s for both rounds hah. But bowling was quite funny, funniest was when mel dropped the bowling ball and it rolled backwards! Even that aunty on the other side was laughing. Ok, so it was a VERY fun trip with melly donut and paikiaa! We should go bowling again together!

Was talking on the phone till 12 with leewei, and I love her to bitssss too!:D

I went back to CVPS band today with huixian, was quite awkward at first omg cos mrs siah saw us and she said "all coming back cos got food to eat right" in this joking tone, but goodness she really got it. hahaha! I bet all the alumni went back just cos there's BBQ. Ok, I really missed the band too, but it's really different cos I dunno anybody in the band anymore): So sad! Can only talk to the instructors..haha. OMG I AM SO JEALOUS OF PEARLINE PHUA AND TRACY!!!!! They got lovely new trombones after I left the band. The trombones, according to Mr Quek, are the BEST kind in the world. And I believe him. I was trying pearline's trombone out and I could easily hit low low B flat and low low A. And I could hit all the high notes including high high C and high high D! It's way better than Cheryl's bass trombone! I WANT PEARLINE'S TROMBONE! Though it's slightly heavier than normal trombones, but it has this really cool trigger and it's SO SHINY and NEW! Plus, it has a COOL and SHINY and UNTARNISHED mouthpiece!!!! AHHH! Im going crazy. Mr Quek was like, "quite crazy hor, primary school only then buy such an expensive best in the world trombone". Haha, I agreed with him, I could really use that trombone! Then I helped trombones for sectionals. Omg, deprove until like dunno what crap. Haha, so it was me, serene, yilin, tizane, marcia, maisarah, vivien, qianyu, pearline, tracy who gained our "best section" name:D hee. Juniors work hard! Then was talking awhile with pearline, and we really want the band to get the fourth gold in their SYF next next year!:D Must work harder yeah!

T'all.

I made a new pair of specs today:D It's half framed, which is black, and white at the sides. It's time to change specs, has been 2 whole years since I've gotten my current one. Increased 50 degrees which is quite normal...hope my eyesight doesnt deteriorate anymore!

I was the saliva girl yesterday, omg. It was halfway through band and the saliva bowl we empty in contained ALOT of saliva, and leanne just kicked the freaking bowl over when she stood up to get smth, and the bowl tilted and yes half the saliva sloshed out and spilled all over my right shoe&sock. How gross is that la! My sock was wet all the way after band:/ EEK. & apparently I was supposed to clear the saliva bowl and wash it with soap, and, never having done it before I stupidly used my fingers to spread the soap around the whole bowl!!!!! OMGG. Salivary day!

Sigh, I guess different conducters have different views, I have to work on my articulations!

I got my sec 3 books alrd, and I wonder how Im gonna study for science. Just one look at the three science textbooks and I cannot imagine how Im gonna digest all that information, plus, physics is in BLACK AND WHITE!!!! So thick somemore.:/ Oh, I kind of enjoy reading To kill a mockingbird, quite a gripping storyline, minus the fact that I have to refer to the dictionary quite a few times haha.

I plan to start on my holiday homework on this sunday, good luck to me!

2008-11-26T22:17:00.000-08:00

I apologise for the short and random post yesterday, was alrd almost twelve and I was risking getting scolded badly..But so much happened and I think I should blog them down, properly:D

Right, something SO FREAKY happened to me yesterday, almost to the extent of traumatising:/ I was going for band, like, really rushing cos I was cutting it really close to 1pm. Was walking towards the bus stop, and I saw this woman with yellow hair cut reallyyyy short(I think she had chemo or something, cos it was way short like bristles). She wore black mascara and eyeshadow which gave her a demented look(gives me the creeps even now), with loads of makeup..and a black business suit with court shoes. Does that paint a picture of a business woman who has some crazed sense of fashion? Yeah, she looks somewhat like that. I couldnt tell what was her race, quite tanned, and deep set eyes.

There was a seat beside her, but I was too intimidated by her appearance to take the seat. I stood behind her and just waited impatiently for the bus to come..Then cos the wind was blowing strongly and I turned around to avoid having my hair fly about wildly, and consequently my back was facing the woman. As I was wearing the SC pe tshirt, she could see the words SCGS boldly and clearly(gosh, I regretted wearing PE ytd, should have worn band tee):). I turned around after the wind died down, and suddenly, I heard a low and DEEEP voice say "S...C...G...S". I was shocked, and I looked over my shoulder and to my greatest horror I saw the woman reading off the letters from my shirt. Natural reflex, I turned quickly and looked away. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her looking intently at me and she continued spouting some really weird things. "I know SCGS, very good school, very near here also right? Ohyes that's a pretty girl, pretty, come look here let me see you properly. I know your school is very nice also....." and she kept talking in this really weird manner, like, creepy! I got cold feet when I heard her say all those, sounded like some stalker :O And she kept spouting nonsense, and looking at me all the time, and I was so freaked out that I moved away from her. Even so I could still sense her looking at me and talking all the while with that low voice. Sort of reminded me of professor trelawny from harry potter, the low and serious voice she used when she made the prophecy. When my bus finally came, she was still staring at me. :O Damn scary.

Wenyuan screamed when she heard my story, lol! Proves how nerve wrecking this had been for me:/

Anyways, to another topic. Band has been getting funner with all those preparation for SYF. Die Fledermaus and Overture One! And yay for trombones, I love hearing praises:D Ohyes, I gotta remind myself to buy new socks, my old ones are drooping seriously and Im lucky to escape getting checked during drills. I DO NOT FOLD MY SOCKS:D After band that day Mr Khoo talked to us sec 2s about our responsibilities next year, and really, I gotta have superpowers to manage all that. I'll be staying back everysingleday next year. Trip science lessons, SMP(2 days per week), band SYF prep and mentoring sec 1s(at most 4 times per week). In addition I have piano. OMG. What have I signed myself up for? But I'll try my best to reduce my computer usage next year, like, REALLY. Am I really gonna be such a mugger next year): But as Mr Khoo said, just get through sec 3, and it'll be a breeze all the way to JC2. I certainly hope so.

Oh, and I've decided to reply tags using my posts, won't flood my cbox that way:D

linda: Thanks linda!
xinfei: Hongkong's cool too! DISNEYLAND! Your band's so lucky to be able to go overseas this year though the thailand one was cancelled.
celeste: hey zeleste! Yeap my bro's putting HCI for first choice, so hope he gets in! & of course we're cool!
fann: YAY cool scorpio I loved this band camp loads!P.S I caught no disease, hehe
ivan: haha, isnt it a bit to early to wish me happy birthday? Wait till next year!
janine: Lols, depends if I have the mood:D

Im talking on msn with Leanne and webcamming like we used to do in the good old days! Haha, it's quite hilarious, we're eating chocs together, and Im watching and hearing her play her flute and soprano recorder. & hand signaling to each other, lol! Webcam's SO FUN! And omg, she just kicked me and I boxed her. OMG so lame we made up this fun msn webcam game..to imitate all the msn emoticons you can find! SO LAME omg, I have a feeling we're gonna do this everytime we webcam!! I sense a tradition in the making:D Has been a fun 3 hours usage of computer:D

& seriously, I can sense our section improving:D

Wahhh my brother's so elated now, he got 255 for PSLE, 2 more marks to beating me heh.:D Now he'll get his bike, new specs, whatever!

I kept advising him to go hwachong, just appeal for all you know he may get in! He still wants to go anderson, haha. But he'll put hwachong as first choice.

I believe, contrary to what most people think, that this has been the best band camp yet.

For the previous band camps, they were like, fun, fun and more fun. But this was the serious one, the one where we practised all the way till 11pm (ok, with breaks in between duh). We concentrated alot on die fledermaus and overture one. And we recorded our video for the drills section of SYF. I really wished I could see the final video and see how we looked like marching to colonel bogey:D The food was all quite okay, nothing like the packed food we always get in primary school for whole day band practices. *shudders* So actually, we should have nothing to complain of, except those muscles aches, bone aches, and tiredness:D

What made this band camp really great was-Kelly, Wenhui, Wenting's speeches which really inspired us to work hard, focus, and have discipline during band practices. I felt that burning desire to win back our section's Number 1 place, cos we have the ability and we will do it. We'll all change for the better, we'll earn and deserve all the praises as before, and we'll be the best section yet again. On the second night we had a real heart to heart section talk all the way till late night. We thrashed things out, decided to have that self control again, and to "Not be the stagnant water that breeds mosquitoes, but the water that gives life". That's what Kelly said, anyway. It was real emotional, and I'm real glad that we as a section can share what we think and feel.

And that kind of brings me to another topic. Never ever judge a person by his blog. Whatever you think he is, you can never be totally right cos you DO NOT know and UNDERSTAND that person. I, for one, am a person who bloghops alot and I read all sorts of people's blogs. I keep my opinions to myself, and even so I know that I have no right at all to assume that person to be whatever he appears to be. So be matured please and if you want to read people's blogs, be fair, and do not ever bitch-.- Super lame I tell you-.-Have you any idea how you would feel if you were that person who was being bitched about? You'll surely cry all night and have no courage to face people at all. That's what YOU are doing, so stop it gosh.

Ohyeah, wenting and wenhui came back on the second night to celebrate my belated birthday! With janine and wenyuan:D & they bought bubbletea for us, and brought the nice cupcakes that janine baked. Thanks! We took funny videos of us trying to do the potterpals thing. Snape snape severus snape!:D Was damn funnyy that I almost pee-ed gosh!

We'll continue the legacy.

& everyone, TROMBONES RULE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!:D

I have really lost count of the number of happy birthdays said to me today and yesterday! So, thankyou to:
-Ivan
-Tingzhen
-Dorcas
-Qiuxuan
-Aaron
-Ms Brenda
-Wenqian
-Wenting
-Janine
-Fann
-Amelia
-Michelle
-Chevelle
-Lyeann
-Simin
-Cheryl
-Huixian
-Wenyuan
-My brother
-My parents
-Jiarong
-Jiahui
-Chokgeow
-Angela Wee
-Celestine

Roughly in that order, haha. I am terribly sorry if I missed you out! TIDE wished me at 12, and Ivan said that he was alrd asleep, but woke up and he counted down with me! LOL! Then today I went out with TIDE minus Dorcas for the actual celebration, with ME treating them to BK. Hah what kind of treatment is this to the birthday girl? Ohyeahh had a lovely catch up with Lyeann, told her all she had missed in her absence:D Been ages since we last talked:/ Anways, had a ball of time again today. Played the swings after lunch and then tz treated us to drinks. Speaking of which he still owes me a drink:D And then went to find qx, wow, her dog's real scary at first. She set her dog free to go at tz and ivan(not me, but I ran anyways) haha and I was all the way at 4th floor from the 9th floor and they called me up again(: Went to play the colour thing together afterwards till I felt like Ive done 2 hours of tiring drills. Met a really irritating little girl who was damn disrespectful to Ivan. Hello we're freaking older by how many years than you and you call him KPO? If you were my sis I'll just whack you senseless HAH! Just ask my brother. To think Tz gave her the balloon we got, should have just let the balloon free and take a picture of it in the air than give it to her:/

But I am still happy anyway. Thanks qiuxuan, tingzhen and ivan for spending my birthday with me!

Band camp=drills, endless practices and sectionals, master classes, no fun.

& there's that thing that I was talking to Wenyuan about:/

But it's the greatest time to practise for SYF, so I guess it's okay!

MIA-ing for 3 days:D

EMILY

2008-11-15T23:53:00.000-08:00

So much happened these few days while I was MIA, so I shall just pick out the more significant ones:D

We have chosen our choice piece for SYF, die fledermaus which we all pronounce as deflated mouse. Heh I really wanted into the joy of spring, but was outvoted. Ah wells. Got our set pieces too, overture one and overture two. I prefer overture one..hope we play that! & we have to march for SYF, was practising with our instruments with adilah haha. Quite hilarious!

Finally got to watch HSM3 with wenting, wenyuan, and wenhui(the 3 wens:D) Wenting and wenyuan tried to scare me lol, but nah Im not so easily scared! HSM3 is not bad at all despite the negative comments like how cheesy and gay it is. I like I want it all(just so sharpayish), the boys are back, and can I have this dance! P.S Sharpay rocks alot.;D Then we went to look for clutches for wenting and wenhui's prom. Prom sounds SO FUN!! Can't wait for mine:D

Then today, went out with TIDE, qiuxuan, aaron and Ms Brenda to J8 and watched dragon hunter. Eh, graphics were great but I dun really like it. Let me watch mamma mia or HSM3! Ohyeah, bought a combo popcorn with coke and could barely finish half of the popcorn and drink. Gave up and gave ms brenda and the boys(: Thennnnnn impromptu wanted to go to Ms Brenda's house. Was a squeeze in her car, 6 teenagers and one adult lol. Was in the front seat with qiuxuan, super squeezy haha the seat belt was cutting into my skin. Got a lovely surprise at her house..was sitting out at the living room then suddenly "happy birthday to you!" hahahhahahahhahahhahahah! I love them so much! It's a chocolate cake as predicted, by ivan's weak attempt to ask me what flavour I like, since I am a "typical" girl and he wants to buy a cake for his friend's birthday. Lols. Still, thanks! Ms Brenda paid for the cake:D & I got a billabong pencil case and MAMMA MIA soundtrack!!!!!!!!!!!! Just right! Been wanting to get a new pencil case cos mine was dyed pink by my clean colour:/ &the mamma mia soundtrack was what I wanted since I watched the movie! Oh, but I still have to send them the songs haha. And then we played on Ms Brenda's SILVER swing for a very long time, it was creaking noisily and scarily o.o Since I am the one day before birthday girl, we went for dinner together yay, first dinner together ever!

7 more minutes to my actual birthday!

P.S, emilythestrange is supposed to be forever 13, lol.

This post is copied from my TIDE post, only editted a small part:D

HEY today's my first part time job at chai chee offered by tingzhen!

Here goes:

-Tingzhen told me he has cca on monday yesterday and asked me if I want to go for his job.
-I agreed
-Went to Payar Lebar today(the place I WAS supposed to go) :p
-Sat for one hour plus doing nothing while waiting for the person in charge francis
-He drove me to Chai Chee saying there's more jobs there for me and even offered to drive me home after work. I was REALLY hesitant lor. Too unexpected.
-Folded zillions of letters and put them into zillions of envelopes
-Had lunch break, and my good cat was so concerned about me going home in his car that he offered to come. THANKS ALOT CAT!:D
-Lots of phone calling and smsing going on within TIDE
-In the end Ivan and Dorcas couldnt come(but I understand and I appreciate you two for caring!)
-Tingzhen could come though, and saved me from riding in Francis' car. Haha THANKS ALOT ALOT ALOT!:D

Oh yeah, I earned $42.50 today..and I THINK I DESERVE IT!

So thanks Tingzhen for offering the job!

& ps I still considering going for the next job thing. AHH you people know what we're gonna be separated if we go this wednesday): He's going Payar Lebar and I am going Chai Chee. RAWR!):

But thanks TIDE! We really go through ups and downs together!

I LOVE TIDE

2008-11-08T18:32:00.001-08:00

I shall post about yesterday, cos it's the WONDERFULLEST day so far in the holidays:D

Started off with band, and I sincerely thought that time was too short..I wanted to keep playing "into the joy of spring"! I love our fast part:D And the band was so loud and enthu and all:D Oh and I hope our band does well for our drills section, and who doesnt?:D Though it's tiring and all..it's worth it.

After band met Tingzhen on the Mrt and that's so unexpected....haha..Then we were trying to call Ms Brenda since she's most likely to be free to bring us out for a MOVIE!;D But she didnt answer lol..Maybe had a premonition of us calling and she purposely dun want to answer. HAH just joking!

Then had piano, was soooo tired during it then I kept yawningg. & the annoying thing is, while I was playing my scales/exam piece/sight reading and theorying, my hp kept ringing and ringing and ringing and it was so loud omg. I half expected my teacher to ask me to answer, but I knew I couldnt la. Then after lessons I immediately went to check my phone and guess what. 5 missed calls from Tingzhen and 1 missed call from Ivan. And guess what's the reason they kept calling? Tingzhen, Ivan, Dorcas, and Suharyo were playing tennis and badminton and cos ahem was there and they're presumably trying to get me there. Whateverrr. When I reached there Ivan came and drained half of my water bottle. & he said he'll treat me to a drink:D So I didnt mind. Then next Tingzhen came and drank until there was about 3 cm of water left. Hah. & I said he owes a drink too:D & the fun thing is we went to compass point after playing and both of them paid for the Slurpee I bought! HAHAHA thanks!

& so we were walking and talking, and this great idea came to us. Tingzhen, Ivan, Dorcas, Emily. Take the initials and we're TIDE:D & we've created a blog:D

Want to see it?

It's only open to invited readers which is the 4 of us
So too bad:D

TIDE rocks!

DONNA
I was cheated by you
And I think you know when.
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again
My My, just how much I've missed you?
Yes, I've been broken-hearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I should not have let you go

Look at me now
Will I ever learn
I don't know how
But I suddenly loose control
There's a fire within my soul.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again
My, my, just how much I've missed you?
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I should not have let you go

DONNA
What the hell are you all doing here?
Well I'd love to stop and chat, but I
have to go and clean out my
handbag: or something

BILL
Age does not wither her.

HARRY
I was expecting a rather shout
matron

SAM
No she's still Donna.

DONNA / SAM / BILL / HARRY
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?

Mamma mia, does it show again
My, my, just how much I've missed you?

Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I should not have let you go

Mamma mia is the greatest movie this year besides Connected! Ohgosh Im off to add that movie to my friendster profile right now! I am SO glad I chose mamma mia to watch, though tingzhen gave that as one of the options. I love ABBA! AHHHH I wanna buy the cd too! I want so many things lol.

Here's the ACTUAL top 3 best ABBA songs(in my opinion fine):
1. Gimme gimme gimme(a man after midnight)
2. Mamma mia
3. Honey honey

:D

Right. I so love gimme gimme gimme cos 2SY did it for talenttime:D Last thing we did together. SO sad my friendster comments are making me miss 2SY now.):

Just now at plaza sing with mini spartans, I met Cheryl, Mel, Maggi in Macs. HAHA I think it's quite hilarious that when I was talking to cheryl on hp ivan and tingzhen kept calling her "carrel"(pronunciation) and cheryl went totally like "ask them to eat carrots la!" Still the cute cheena donut! & CHERYL CUT HER HAIR! HAHA so short! But nice la of course! Then after their HSM3 I met them again, and omgosh I accidentally called cheryl MAGGI! OMG their hairstyle can't be that alike right! & sorry maggi I didnt think of bringing your special birthday edition maggi comic which lyeann and I had slogged over for!:/ It's really cool! You'll get your surprise when school reopens next year:D

AH I can't stop listening to ABBA!

EMILY

2008-10-30T22:31:00.000-07:00

Ok yes listening to band songs calms me down, something I really need right now. Thanks to fann's abba gold on her blog, and youtube for providing the music man, and into the joy of spring. And yes talking to people helps. So I should just describe band prac today.

Band prac without janine and me being the oldest in the section is definitely weird. I am just not used to giving instructions especially in sectionals. But the only comfort is knowing that I can shush my section up. Eh, not that Im doing a very good job out of it:/ It's like we're naturally the noisy section. Did the usual warming up, and did abba gold. Those complicated rhythms! Had us really lost and Mr De Souza predicted that we'll stop at bar 5. Haha we exceeded his expectations..by 2 bars gee:D Then had sectionals. Goshhhh. But I like the music man, cos it's like half the song dedicated to "76 trombones"! OMG and leanne made me fall in love with into the joy of spring I swear! I love the running notes too much and we were playing it over and over again. haha why can't it be our SYF piece? PLEASE?:D

Ps The Host is the greatest book man. Actually Stephenie Meyer is just a genius she should write more books like that. Can't wait for midnight sun! & someone get me the daniel powter album for my birthday! Im in love with his songs;D

Okay Im fairly appeased now so bye!

People were crying and hugging everyone at the end of the school. Surely everyone felt sad at leaving sec 2SY, leaving behind the wonderful memories of our class, though we chose different ways to express it. Some were more exuberant and open about their feelings and cried buckets, but people like me just held in their feelings and didn't shed a single tear. I dun get the purpose of crying and making people feel all sad all over again, but I'd rather take a last look around at the class and let the images be etched deeply in my mind. I'll miss 2SY truck loads. The times when we simply wanted to get out of school as fast as possible seem incredible right now, when people were so unwilling to step out of the classroom, just holding on to each other. Sure we'll see each other next year, but we will never be united as the one class we were. I just hope everyone in 2SY will remember those times we shared together-Adventure camp, class bonding stuff. & acknowledge each other to reassure all that our sec 2 year has been the most memorable and fulfilling year. (more than sec 1, at least)

How I really wish that everyone could choose the same subject combinations and we'll ALL be in the same class next year, never separated. Why can't we be good and choose triple science and full geog!): Haha okay unreasonable but still): Then all those tears would be saved and we'll still see each other again next year in the same class, preferably in the same seating positions too!

Wah Im getting too mopey, time to cheerup! Im at Episode 7 for Devil Beside You yay me!

Our noble cheryl's getting all cheena now for the sake of 2SY:D

I'll miss you twin(my loveliest twin in the world you rock!), horse(i really cannot imagine who will be my lab partner next year): ESTHER WHY DIDNT YOU CHOOSE TRIP SCIENCEE!), panda(Ive lost a person to poke), FA5(though we'll still meetup and things..), Paikia(another pokable person) and all the people who are not gonna be in the same class as me next year.

Tmr's the last day with 2SY..wonder how it actually feels like when finally we look up and realise it's 1.40. After 2 years with most of 2SY, of course, I wouldn't be all too willing to leave sec 2, and start afresh in sec 3, with the addition of our scholars where competition will be even higher, plus the astonishing workload that's gonna be piled on us..I used to think our class will always be deemed as the smart "nerd" class but that's totally not true okay. We were enthu and bonded enough to win 2 major class awards this year, a HUGE improvement from sec 1. Our aces day dance, best class award, cleanest class award..little things like that add on to form our shiny SY..and what's worse is FA5's gonna be separated again): Like maggi and cheryl who opted for double science:/ Sigh..but we're gonna meet up during recess and all, I hope? Ok we will.

& this holidays won't be much slack time for us sec 2s either. I've got band pracs for the whole of november, and I think december's mostly dedicated to reading through sec 3 textbooks and lit book and stuff for preparation, just like what the teachers instructed us to do. Start off the year on the right foot, and I want to get all As again for sec 3. Well, try. Then perhaps more computer, going out, and christmas! ;D I want an FA5 outing!

So looked at my report book, straight As and all..but they did not show us our rankings gahhhh! I really want to know. To think that last in SY is actually 83rd of the whole level omgosh. That's how stiff competition is. Top 11 in our class remained top 11 in the level, then Ms Hing didnt elaborate much on the rest.:/ But I was quite proud of my NAPFA, last year got 28 points(gold) and this year 29(gold). I think maybe I'll really train for my always disastrous 2.4km run and get a 5 for it so I'll get the perfect score for NAPFA! Okay whatever I know most people just focus on the academic parts.....

Your True Love Is a Gemini

Why you'll love a Gemini:

Witty and sharp, a Gemini can keep up with your fast (and ever changing) mind.

You're both fun loving and free spirits. You and a Gemini can enjoy each other without expectations.

Why a Gemini will love you:

Not only can you keep up with a Gemini's sharp tongue, you can introduce a challenge or two...

You're appetite for fun and novelty will keep a Gemini interested - at least for a bit longer than usual!

What Sign Is Your True Love?

bloghopping about and found this..;D

So anyway, was way curious and went to check my overall results for this year and guess what. For the first time in my sec school life, I got STRAIGHT As!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG this rocks! But I have a bad feeling about being the best yet, cos I got quite a number of band 2s..well never mind about that...

And yeah got a distinction for australian math competition which totally pwns cos I ALWAYS get credit for math competitions like new south wales..this is my first distinction and that time according to the teachers getting a distinction helps in my portfolio:D

Spent the whole of today in Khoo Audi again, watched MOVIES- "To kill a mockingbird" and "the nam without a face"...then watched our sec 1 Art Of Speech performance! Feels funny to see myself acting.;D

& then had band and went through "the winter of the 1730s". That piece totally rocks why can't we play it for SYF!): Plus janine ps-ed me so I had to play everything alone O.o But thankfully Im 2nd trombone, so no worries;D

I MUST REMEMBER THIS DAY FOREVER AND EVER.

Yay Fann I blogged;D

So much has happened these few days of my absence from blogging..got back our marks, won't say how much as I know this blog's being read by lots of unknown-.- Quite pleased with some, but not so with lit esp. But what matters is that I can get an A1 for overall:D

& if you think we're gonna be spared after working so hard for EOYs then you are WRONG. we had all the post exam activites, like the preparation for our talenttime, or do you call it our musical? & I just KNOW that 2SY will be the best for it, again. I have tons of fun during the preparation, and who wouldnt, when you see our class dancing together?

And then we had PW lecture for one whole day, so boring like seriously no one will be listening attentively 100%... But there's a homework for it, sad..

Today we had "making a difference" module, and Coach Sean talked all about leadership and gave anecdotes and examples of prominent leaders, and I enjoyed the games much, though not really when I was picked to be betrayed.:D It's really much better than the PW lectures, I would rather have TWO modules than the lectures blaahhh. Plus doodling on Cynthia's ws was really entertaining, gives me the chance to draw rubbish all over someone's notebook/textbook/worksheets/whatever.(: But the downside was all the surveys we had to do, in total 3 for just ONE module, tell me how many trees were cut down for these? & just like what we learnt in PW, when someone doesn't write what they REALLY feel in the surveys, it's RUBBISH. So save paper, don't give surveys!

My brother redownloaded audi and I went into my account, realised how much dens I had saved up and bought a new shirt and bottom. Looks cool! Now ive gotta buy an ACCEPTED pair of shoes, the ones provided for us when we first join audi doesnt seem too suitable or even nice huh. Then I was playing all the way till 3 plus then I was informed to meetup for tennis/badminton thing with pri sch friends haha. Was uber fun as usual, though it is REALLY irritating to have someones phone number called out at intervals...

Mel's introduced Devil Beside You to me yesterday haha, she's told me not to be addicted to it but she alrd is!:D Anyway it's really nice so watch it!

Wish us luck, though we don't really need it, for our GREAT MUSICAL tomorrow!:D

One singular sensation
Every little step she takes.
One thrilling combination
Every move that she makes.
One smile and suddenly nobody else will do;
You know you'll never be lonely with you know who.

One moment in her presence
And you can forget the rest.
For the girl is second best
To none,
Son.
Ooooh! Sigh! Give her your attention.
Do...I...really have to mention?
She's the One?

Ohman this song rocks so much! Today we had music enrichment the whole day and it's certainly fun and tiring and challenging to learn all the steps and memorize the song! But I like that song! Mr G is real patient with us all, going through the steps repeatedly. I really hope 2SY will perform our best on stage next saturday and hopefully be the BEST!:D We did "Gimme gimme gimme" besides "One singular sensation".

Anyone looking forward greatly to monday?:/

Drawing comic strips for our dear maggi's the funnest thing to do ever besides playing cards--after the exams and when trapped in school, I mean:D Yeah that basically sums up what we have been doing in school...plus there was a briefing on science choices. And then we had our first band prac with the sec 1s, so now our band's complete again, sec 1s, 2s, and 3s. & I guess everyone's pretty excited and scared at the returning of papers next monday and tuesday O_o I dunnoooo, mixed feelings about it..Yeah and I realised my posts are getting shorter and shorter, that proves that my summary's pretty good alrd!

JAYCHOW LOOKALIKE HERE

Maggi caught unawares..doesnt she look funky!

The much anticipated photos! Let me add how obedient maggi was for us to snap such candid shots of her when she most certainly would not have allowed normally:D

I LOVE SENTOSA + all my sec 2 band members-leewei, celestine, fann, amelia, janice, abigail, lynette! It's the funnest to play with water, volleyball, and build sand castles shaped like leewei's bf curly! I LOVE SEC 2 BANDITS!

Yet another fun FA5 afternoon today! Mel treated us to pizza at heartland mall, all of us ordered hawaiian pizza except maggi odd one out! After which we made the long and tiring way to mel's house to watch sixth sense and made of honour(: Sixth sense was really freaky in some parts, used mel's cushion to hide my face when some eerie thing pop out o.o Nearing 5 we camwhored abit, and for once cheryl and maggi are so guai to listen to what we said, and actually DO them! We asked them to pose something for the camera, and it was really funny! Will post the pics up when I receive them from Lyeann!

Ive just done a summary of a funfunfun day!:D

Last day of EOY-OFFICIALLY!:D

No more mugging this year, no more worrying about not being able to mug finish!

So after our english paper 2, cheryl, melissa and I went to cineleisure for lunch and neos!(: My first batch of newly collected neos...sadly I lost ALL the neoprints Ive ever taken in my life when I lost my wallet on the bus...sigh..how could anyone be so mean as to not return my wallet. Plus that person attempted to use the money in my ez-link before I cut off the money....grr. Anyway I decorated two neos and in the nick of time, I put the most famous purple shades on cheryl, lopsided! Just saw the shades like when there was 2 seconds left and quickly put it on, then no time to resize it and rearrange it! So it looks big and gaudy! Heheheheheheh!:D

Then met liyan and watched Connected. Was a really gripping movie, the best so far! Bob is kind of handsome haha. really really! Throughout the movie I was squealing or fidgetting cos the noise level was really eardrum breaking....especially the gun shooting parts. Nevertheless, it remains to be the best movie!

P.S anyone knows what's the problem with hotmail now? I can't read my emails, or even delete them!

lalala it's so fun talking to ivan, tingzhen and dorcas on msn! & now our conversations are so colourful all thanks to ivan aka emily the strange's cat. Lols I've become emily the strangeO.o Cos Im able to see curse people's bowling balls into the gutter, and know when someone is appearing offline muahahahahah!

Next time when Dorcas goes online it'll be 4 spartans with orange and bright blue in their msn names!XD It's really striking though:D [edit] tingzhen says he gave the idea for us to follow suit[/edit]

HELLO????? LOLS!!! & when I signed in just now he really added me! Omg. Fine nvm I think Im not even gonna talk to him...._. But it was quite fun at his new house. Went past his hwachong friend's house and I shouted "Jonathan!" but there was no reply lol. He was playing his violin and junyu was embarrassed to talk to him.

Yes 2SY really rocks.;D

Because of our great choreographers, Shivani, Debbie and Jacq chua! Plus the greatest class ever 2SY! We stayed back during recess, after school, just to finish our Aces day dance. Bhangra dancing is fun! So we danced our enthu-est yesterday and guess what.

WE WON BEST FOR COSTUMES AND GOT 1ST FOR OUR DANCE!

Coolio!;D It's the first time 2SY got first in this sort of cheer/dance thing. It's a great feeling when Mrs Bowness announced the winner classes. The whole class erupted in cheers and I really really really felt like cheering but cos I was the only Sy person in brass who was standing outside the hall(not with class), I couldnt!): Brass section was playing fanfare for the principals to walk into the hall lol. Like so weird that Im the only one cheering for my class who is INSIDE the hall. Haha. Whatever.

Teachers' day celebration was ok. Not as fun as last year, and again like last year we got released LATE. GRAHHHH!!!!! Made me rush so much to change and then tearing down the staircase madly and then catching the earliest bus and mrt and lrt just to reach CVPS! I was panting like mad and just rushed into the school cos I received smses and calls rushing me to hurry up as Ms Brenda's leaving at 2.30 when I said I would reach at 2.30. Haha but still got to see her.;D That's what matters. Saw melissa too! Omg forgot to take pics.:/ Neverrrrrmindddddd, take someday next time(: Then went cp to eat and the gaoxiao ivan was making us laugh hahahhahahaha! Then I had to go off, celebrate godmother's birthday!

Bowling today, went with the gaoxiao ivan, tz, and dorcas. Lol. As mentioned by ivan there always seem to be more topics to talk about with pri sch ppl than sec sch ppl and it was instantly agreed by everyone. reallyreally! Maybe cos we knew each other longer and since they are really more open and houlianpi, so it's easier to get along.;D

We only talk. We don't feel the need to be sincere anymore.

Whoops! Just realised that I've said I would not blog till eoys are over.

Mel came over just now;D We're on task, did the abstract and some intro for history pt...and played gobblebobble and listened to songs. And as usual she was saying sorry so many times again(: & I looked at her and she realised she was subconsciously saying SORRY again. Funny bee! It's real fun! At least it kept my mind off the horror awaiting. Gah I really wish I know what's gonna happen): The way it's phrased is just too strange and unsettling. Thanks mel for lending a listening bee ear:D

I want my science results back! Hopefully, with an improvement in marks, I may get more A1s for ca2!

Was supporting bball match just now-sc against unity. Wahh the unity people are so pro! 2SY was cheering like madddd but it's really tiring to follow them run here run there lols.

Ooh and Im like reading and reading the facebook "bathroom wall" story and amazingly the plot is very much like twilight's though the author claims she didnt copy anythingOo.

omg..saw this on friendster..the horoscope thing for scorpios.

Today it seems like everything is an irritation. Many times we find ourselves peeved at things we normally tune out. Focus your energy on being productive instead of aggravated. Your current vexation will pass.

I was rather reluctant to post. I want the lovely pictures to stay on top of my blog;D But..I have newwwww lovely pictures(: & Im gonna ask lindee for those we took at the ice rink just now! Most wonderful 2sy on the ice. WE ROCK! Ok iceskating really fun. Better than inline skating;D Whew I only fell once but couldnt really count that as a fall cos..I fell lightly on my hands. Haha maybe not. But whatever I didnt fall!;D Right so today was the last lesson and I could glide both legs, swizzle forward(is that how u say it?), wriggle backward, and whatnot. Not very good at the backward stuff though. But iceskating's real fun!

So we got back both science tests. Rather pleased with the results cos they really helped pull u my ca2 score, especially after that disastrous chem test): Got a full marks for physics test and a 21/30 for chem SPA.;D Cynthia said physics test's gonna be 40% so that's 40% of ca2 secured^^Thankfully.

It's really fun to vandalise leewei's hand!!! Been drawing "curly" all over her hands and doing math sums on in too so it's a reallyyyyy nice hand;D HEHEHE leewei said she showed her senior her hand and she was laughing at that!! Yay!

So..till lindee sends the pics!(:

sometimes we wonder, why do all good things come to an end so quickly?

080808, the most memorable day of this year.

Irish Tune of County Derry

Northwoods: Of Might and Mettle

Chorale and Shaker Dance

I want YPSB practises to go on forever): I felt so apprehensive on my first YPSB practise, I didn't know anyone, and I only talked and stuck to scgs sec 2s and janine. As I attended more and more practises, I got to know them better. Like Cassandra.(: She's the first person I talked to in my section, and it was cool. Yesterday was our rehearsal and performance at victoria concert hall. I knew it was the end of YPSB, and I was sad. DAMN SAD.): I played my best during the concert, I looked at Mr Shuichi Komiyama as often as possible, eyes keeping to his conducting. I attempted the high notes, especially high G. I did it. The symphonic band did well, well, WELL! I was SO proud of the band. After the performance we took section photo. I'll miss all of them terribly.): No offence, but. I really thought that practising with the symphonic band is funner and better than practising at scgs for normal practise. We learn more stuff during YPSB prac, we learn from other schools, their culture, their way of playing. Sigh. Guess it's back to the old times of teaching the sec 1s, and sectionals with janine. 2 ppl sectionals.):

I want to thank everyone from scgs who came for the ypsb concert. Lyeann, Cheryl, Priscilla, Samy, Wenhui, Isabel.(: Love yaaaa!

Somehow, the concert totally eclipsed our handover. Though they were on the same day and of equal importance. Handover was like, 2hrs? We didnt even have section outing. Just some really long speech by Mrs Neo..and the ceremony, and then a quick exchange of presents and lunch. Thereafter we went straight to vch. But I love wenting and wenhui's presents. Wenting-cup with stuff inside, and a note. Wenhui-cushion and a note with sweets which my brother koped from me. ==Ok.

P.S plus, handover and the concert TOTALLY eclipsed the national day celebration in the morning. Oh but can't forget the performance by the Harvard Institution of Din and Tonic who came to our school to sing.;D They're all undergraduates! With great voices.

[edit] OOH forgot to post this. Went to watch Journey to the centre of the earth with pri sch friends and it's really nice. Scary at some parts yet touching. Haha really wanted to watch money no enough but dorcas has alrd watched it. Ohwell.[/edit]

T'all..andddd

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!

It is sosososososo guaranteed to be perfect and we'll all not let down Mr Komiyama right! And my section's funny.

Know what Im spending $30 on FLOWERS for the concert! Lol. First time I ever bought flowers and just thought it would be a courtesy to give la. Personally i feel that flowers are a waste of money!

HELLO!

Here's some dedications too cos like mel, I want to show ppl that I care and love them;D

To Lyeann:
For sticking through thick and thin with me, putting up with my nonsensical ideas and being my best friend!

To Mel:
For being the loveliest buzzing bee who would always always listen to me grumble and stuff!

To Cheryl:
For being so serious but then listening when I have problems, and sometimes being quite random but still cute!

To Elizabeth:
For being her and putting up with our creative maggi songs. Haha actually you can't really say that she's putting up with us cos I know inside she's secretly rejoicing that she has new songs;D But thanks anyway;D

To Leewei:
For being a funny deskie and tolerating with being called a laoxiongmao every single day. She's the best!

To 2SY:
For being the best class I've ever been in and really making my sec 2 life so enriching. I love you people!

To trombones:
For making me laugh, and I know our section's the best, and we'll strive for the better!

To 6-1'06:
I really really miss you all and Ms brenda! Must go back on teachers' day!!

Alright. Im sorry if you think you ought to have been named. But these people are those I care most about, and if I named to many ppl it won't be called a dedication post anymore;D

National day coming, handover coming, ypsb coming. AHHHH(: But I dun really want handover to come. Sigh): Anyway come on ppl! Look out of your window and do you see singapore flags? Lols I dunno why but I feel that fewer and fewer ppl are putting up flags as years go past. Be patriotic c'mon!;D

XOXO,

2008-08-01T07:54:00.001-07:00

Im feeling quite patriotic here, and Im imposing the patriotic-ness on maggi, by posting the maggi version of "five stars arising" on our fa5 blog. Haha! GOSH. That's like my fav theme song and last yr Lyeann and I editted it to be a funny version for the fa5 but it mainly focuses on maggi(as usual);D Sadly I forgot the lyrics and I dun think we even recorded it, it was all memory work and composing on the spot. See Lyeann and I are greattt composers(with publishing all maggi's albums and being her oh-so supportive fans.)Lols! We used to say that it was because of us that her albums were sold out, but guess what..

There were only 2 albums which we bought one each!

LAUGHSSSSSSS OUTTTT LOUDDDDD!

Just wait till maggi sees this. HAHAHA

YPSB practise yesterday. Mr Tan practised chorale and shaker dance with symphonic band, and it was horrible and boring. I was just sitting and looking around the band room or stoning most of the time:/ Cos Mr Tan was helping those sections who had trouble to correct their mistakes or whatever and he finally got enough of it. Mind you he spent 2 hours plus on correcting ppl's mistakes and he got very pissed. He suddenly said stuff like "If you don't understand let me say it in your face now I am very motivated when practising with the Wind Ensemble but I feel demoralized when practising with you!" And he took a look at his swatch watch and told us he spent 2 whole hours on nothing and threw it on the floow immediately after. It shattered. O.o He left the room fuming. Lols. It was scary considering how we have never seen him lose his temper before. Some brave NYJC guys went after him to call him(GOSH) and two of them were from tbone section!

Sectionals after the scary episode was quite funny. Andy was supposed to be taking over but Ms Yeo came and corrected us. Gahh I waver too much and my notes have that weird sound according to her.:/ Im trying! I think our section sounds really good. Heeh. For chorale. After Ms yeo reallly left (she kept coming back when she heard us play undesirably lols), Andy reallyyy took over and yeah sectional-ed. Darren was funny. He kept irritating Andy by playing loudly or whatnots and janineeeeeee I noticed kept giggling. MUAHAHA. Actually whole section (guys) are funny. Yeah. Lian pi bi jiao hou;D

I've written a poem and submitted it for the competition! Wanna read it?

...

NO WAY! LOLS. What if you decided to copy my idea?

;D

Ohyea happy birthday to aaron and ivan yesterday yesterday & yesterday respectively!

2008-07-25T19:52:00.000-07:00

Oh right, let's start with yesterday. I got back my math, science, and geog tests. Got 45/50, 23/40, and 38 half/50 respectively. No offence but considering the number of failures and near failures, Im really glad I got 23.;D Yeah so for math and geog I got A1s. (: OHYEA it was so tiring yesterday cos we had SPA and for the second practical test I put ammonia as the gas produced! It was rly weird but I really smelt ammonia! Some ppl put carbon dioxide while other put hydrogen. Hydrogen-test with a lighted splinter and it will go out with a pop sound. Carbon dioxide-test with limewater. Mine didnt fulfil either criteria and since I tested the gas to be alkaline with litmus and I smelt the pungent gas, I said it's ammonia. AHH so crazy we all have different results.): Ok so went home and began my sneezing fit all the way until night, and I was chionging my music analysis! See how devoted to music I am?

Today was also tiring. Cos I just about recovered from my flu but developed a phlegm-y cough. SIGH. Haha leewei my ears! ok, science did an experiment with mirrors for testing the laws of reflection, and we all love that experiment hur!;D Winks. RIGHT actually im not supposed to go ikea with my section since Im sick. But. After so much persuasion from my juniors I was feeling quite guilty. And janine asked me to ask mum one more time. SO I asked and yea went with them. First section outing with cheryl lol. Quite funny, quite time wasting but at least we got out handover presents' materials. AHA. Then slept on the mrt from outram park all the way. Im too tired(:

So that's it! I have tons of hw and there's YPSB tmr. Practising chorale and shaker dance!;D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYEANN aka apetan/houzi/purple funky monkey!

Patience now! I know you will love your birthday present from ME! Find out on tuesday;D

I had YPSB yesterday w/o janine and I must say I was surprised that I actually lived through it. Even made a new friend! She's cassandra from my section..sec 2 from whitley. Coolio! We were carrying benches and she started talking and yea became friends. That's at least one person from my section, or let's say the whole band that I know, apart from sc ppl(:

HWHWHW! I havent started on any except math. ==

My good spirits were entirely gone when I reached home & found out what you thought. & that stupid incident. Yeah course I dun like this but really..GAH this is the idiotic problem with blogs. ~~The whole world knows what you are thinking and what you post might become your life's greatest regret and so..I dunno..maybe I'll privatise this blog and leave you out.~~ Pishhh. Have you any idea that I am 3419872845080238467 times jealous when you backstab? I've never harboured such dangerous thoughts. Maybe that's why I like my true friends most. & my tbone section plus band. Whatever~Hate your hypocritic attitude. I need to salvage it but are we giving it a chance?

Not that I want to sour this but did you think how I might feel if you give up on it completely and give up on our to me many years of friendship? You only know how to flame ppl and you don't give a damn how I might feel if I happen to know of it? Zzz I know you know how I think you feel, but will that even help? Im so freaking pissed with everybody now thanks to you. Sick & tired of living in delusion. Maybe one day, it can't be salvaged anymore.

Maybe not ever.

Anyway I got 37/40 for higher chinese common test!! YAYness. Plus I secured that full marks for my math quiz so I just have to get another good mark for the next math quiz to get a rly good grade for my quiz section for CA2;D

==Isn't this such an irony post

Ah whatever. Im waiting for your reply! Ohyea you know what you must shut up on the insulting remarks. Cos I know what you're thinking.

Congrats to Debbie, Samy, Amanda, and Liwen for being elected as PREFECTS!;D 4 perfect prefects in 2SY(: After that announcement we took hcl common test and funnily the tune "you can't stop the beat" seems stuck in my head. Just kept thinking of it luh! & then had math..didnt have math quiz lol. But there is tmr:/ But it's racial harmony day as yuhan points out so we shouldn't have the quiz! Damn funny;) Langarts and we got so engrossed in the amazingly unbelievable stories Ms Chua told us about her friendship with Ms Sie from primary school till now. CANNOT BELIEVE OK!! Quite enlightening too. I thought I was the only person going through this kind of weird stuff, but guess Im not alone, in a weird way;D Home ec I completed my shirt! Except for a few more herringbone stitches, and some more neatening of the sleeves...:/ Endured a period of science and YAY band.

Band was fun this time. Mr Tan was so funny haha he was talking funny..cos the sec 3s having hcl listening compre..then he was kinda asking us where they are and saying that Mr Tee said they will be released at 3.10 lols. Yeah funny luh. Then practised northwoods and chorale and shaker dance for YPSB. COOL I love chorale and shaker dance. Though it's quite scary to play alone cos no one else has the same parts as you and you are playing ALONE. o.o AHH I can't imagine going for YPSB without janine! She says she might not be going this sat! GAH:/ How am I gonna live through that 4hrs! Without anyone I knw in my section.

So yay I bought Lyeann's present but o.o mysterious Im gonna give her on tues! AHA.

A stranger stabs you in the front; a friend stabs you in the back; a boyfriend stabs you in the heart, but best friends only poke each other with straws.

That's a whooping inspiring quote(: Should have found it earlier & write it as my week's quote in last year's weekly progress report for Ms Sie. It has a very deep meaning to me right now. Don't bother but just know. -.-

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

I don't care anymore. =.=

Dance concert ytd was so cool! I shall start of with my first step outta my house. This's one funny one. I was going into the lift then this young!girl in a pram got wheeled out by her grandma & she didnt even spare a thought before saying "aunty!" in this cuuutteeee voice. HAHA I just looked in shock & hurried into the lift...and after processing what she was saying (sorry luh I know I quite slow) yeah then was laughing at the way the grandma said "Not auntie, is jiejie!" LOLS. Aw i forgive her. She's too young(:

Mmhm then went vch..mel's mum driving us(: So we were talking & laughing again..and listening to songs on mp4. & finally reached there after a jam. Met up with lyeann & cheryl and blahblah..to START OF CONCERT. Cheryl said they repeated some items from last yr's concert. Lols then Im lucky not to have gone for it last yr. I <3<3 color="#ff99ff">pink one with SILVER shoes, the sailor one, and the white costume with a blacckkkk treble clef. Omg that one is so COOL!x) Ohyeaaa Ianna is so distinguishable(: We could almost spot her for every dance she was in. At the end we gave the dancers their BEAUTIFUL flowers. <3>

Been camwhoring with lyeann so much. Haha I think all the nicer ones are with her.(: With Mel & Cheryl too! FA4 is the <3.>

Tdy was the performance with the taiwan band. zomg they all speak chinese & janine was asking me what is this & that in chinese. & ME, after so long of not speaking chinese in school which was like 2 years(I speak chinese with my primary school friends), I think Im lacking the ability of fluently speaking GOOD chinese. Ergh. But then, I have to credit myself that I still speak chinese at home. If only SC speaks chinese. So there were communication probs. But we had the concert & yeah you could say it's a SUCCESS?? lols.
