So far, my common tests results are okay. The worst has yet to come : Mathematics.
I was happy with Geography since I did study hard for it although the subject just makes me drowsy. And I got what I expected. Physics was good but I made a few careless mistakes which are worth me knocking my head over. But it was the first time I got full marks for MCQs.
Chinese wasn't too bad but it wasn't my standard - meaning I have to buck up. OH, and I passed D & T!!! I thought it was a goner for me since I didn't even understand the last question.

On Monday, it happened for the fourth time in three months again. It's becoming a monthly affair, I can see. I rode all the way to Pasir Ris. This time, it was different. Yes, I did wake up at Tampines, but I thought it was Bedok. Reason being that I got a seat at Kembangan and since I was so tired, I just fell asleep. Within what seemed like milliseconds, I sensed that the train stopped at another station. Blur ol' me opened my eyes and just assumed that it was Bedok. Till I was in the next station and I got a big shock when I heard 'Pasir Ris...' Bleh. I wasted about seven minutes in going home then.
I went to see the doctor yesterday. I saw my childcare centre teacher there. Well, I don't remember her but my mum did. The name didn't ring a bell but her face was kind of familiar. I remember being very antisocial in childcare. In one day, it was possible not to hear a single word escaping my mouth till I went home. That's why my mum used to tease me that I had gold nuggets in my mouth, therefore I couldn't bear to talk. The teachers also discussed this problem of mine during parent-meet-teachers sessions. Well, it was because I didn't see the need to speak and sure, I was lonely, but I just didn't know how to make friends - let alone keep friends.
Anyway, my mum talked to the teacher for a few moments before it was my turn to go for my consultation. Doctor John offered to give me a MC and asked if I wanted to skip school. It was quite a tempting offer since it means I don't have to wake up early. But I didn't want to miss out on collecting back the common test papers.
My flu isn't that bad too. It's just that today, when I sneezed a few times, there were a few drops of blood. Oh well.
BTW, on my way home from the clinic, there was this really cute girl who kept staring at me. Then before she alighted the bus with her parents, she waved at me and even gave a good-bye kiss. She was really cute!
I have no idea how I'm going to sing tomorrow since my throat feels like it has been rubbed sore with sandpaper. Help.

This is my 300th post.
For 9th August, I wish Singapore a Happy Peaceful Birthday.
This year's National day celebration in school wasn't as wild as last year. In fact, I think it was quite...uhm, stagnant and boring. It was strange idea for choir to lead the school in the community singing since we wouldn't be able to hear ourselves when the school is so hyper over shouting out the songs. There were a few girls sitting in front of us when we went up to sing. Apparently, they were irritated and did not like us having such simple actions to accompany the song. Being at the side for most performances, I was always near the audience, but never had I experienced how it feels like to be openly insulted and jeered at. I don't think they meant any harm, but what they said kind of affected those standing in front singing I guess. Things like being asked to do different actions instead of our 'stupid, boring' actions for the songs were thrown at us. Fortunately, there were only a few of them who were doing that. From where I was standing, I could see that our class was dead. I know you guys all to well. =]
I somehow feel that those standing on the other side of the stage were luckier. The people on the other side didn't say any discouraging words - in fact, they followed them. To me, the performance were only meant for those sitting at the back - there were a few nice sporting people at the back smiling and kind of encouraged us. Of course, I DO have a BIGBIGBIGBIGBIG heart. That's why I didn't mind the 'suggestions' of changing our actions for our songs. After all, I don't think they actually meant to hurt anyone's feelings.
The large space below is just me vending out my pent-up feelings. Do note that I didn't intend to offend anyone. I did not add in names and this frustration was partially due to the fact that National day was too near common tests which means that I won't get to enjoy a nice holiday. Hence the grumblings. Nothing was meant by this post. Please bear that in mind.

I was also disappointed when they cancelled some of our songs. But that's another matter I suppose.
Other than that, the celebration was just...normal. It's not like last year, whereby we can run around and feel the school spirit. In fact, there were many rules implemented this year.
Anyway, I should be concentrating on Common tests now. Ta

This year's Speech day and Learning Festival had been integrated into a single day. Therefore there were more activities and it was much more hectic than last year. It was really tiring though.
For today's performance, it wasn't really our best but we did what we could at that time I suppose. Ms Ong forgot to cue our section in for our first page. Jolene said that we sounded freaky as our notes were very high =D She was standing right behind us on-stage with the band.
The audience was not really encouraging though. Most of them were still chattering during the band's and choir's performance D:
Right after the Speech Day performance, I had to rush to return the stand and change my top. I then went for my ushering duty. Most of the schools were late. I must say that it was quite fun but hectic. I had to carry refreshments for the performing groups and the drinks were HEAVY. I was running up and down, just to remind the groups of the time and that they are supposed to come down at least 10 minutes before their performance.
After the refreshments part was done, Ms Ang actually gave us drinks to drink too as there were many extras =DDD
We then gave out the Learning Festival leaflets to anyone who wanted them. I gave many to the band people =D It was quite difficult though as most of the visitors didn't want it or had already taken theirs at the foyer. When I gave the last of my stack, I went over to the teachers' stall to help in the selling of their items. I managed to persuade Clare, Christy, Ms Ho and a few others to buy from me. Ms Ho was really kind!! She immediately bought some snacks from me =]]]]
Before that, I'd also helped the 2C1 stall to sell their kuehs for a short while. Jessie and I cornered a Fairfield Methodist Priamary boy and coerced him into buying one XD
When Jessie saw that there was a girl from the same school walking nearby, she asked if they knew each other and when they said yes, she made the boy buy a kueh for the girl XD Poor boy.

I forgot to post about Mr Poon who came in as a relief teacher for our geography period on Wednesday. Apparently, since our lovely oral examinations are approaching fast, he, as an English teacher did not want us to waste any time and wanted to help us practise our oratorical skills. To give an example of what 'monotonous' means, he randomly grabbed a book from the front row. The book happened to be the one lying on Harriet's table. He then proceeded to read. There was just one particular problem though: it seemed that the passage contained some explicit words that was not to be read to a big audience - especially when we are only young adults. I still remember what he remarked after his eyes widened at the choice of words used by the author, "Young people these days...What are they thinking...the choice of books...". Of course, he showed what 'monotonous' meant in the end - by quoting a paragraph on how the brain absorbs information found in a copy of Readers' Digest on Pearlyn's table. "This, is what you people should read." Was what Mr Poon announced, after he finished quoting.
The oral exercise that we did was to change partners every turn, and to expound on the topic he gave us right before our turns to speak. Since we were in pairs, so each will take turns to listen, speak and comment. Unfortunately, I did not get to speak when the topic in question was what I had confidence with. Instead, I got

When I was listening to Deborah explaining why Avril Lavinge was so trashy to her, I could only catch the three words: Like a mop. The rest was lost to my ears as she was TOO FAST. LOL, she later told me that she said that lavinge's hair is like a mop. XD
Oh yeah, about today's guitar class. My mum and I were rushing to Tampines Mall for my class and were waiting for the pedestrian light to turn green. There was this old man who didn't care about the traffic whatsoever and just proceeded to cross the road with his wife. He was saying, “要过，就过。”When my mum heard that, she told me, "What he meant was: 要死，就死。" XD
I made it in time and knocked into this poor soul when I was walking to the place. As both of us were walking towards each other and there was this corner, we just banged into each other. I didn't see him at first coz he was shorter than me. Hahas, poor guy.
I made a fool of myself during the class too. When the teacher called Tammy and me to play Guantanamera, I heard it as "Eugene and Tammy." So when I caught everyone looking at me, I was surprised and asked,"Huh? Wait, ME?". I heard Eugene snicker.
We got a new solo piece again - Speak Softly, Love. It sounds sad and somehow, I felt like giggling when the teacher played it once through for us. I think I'm mad.

Today's Youth day celebration was relatively short. But it was still fun to see the teachers putting up their items for us. And everyone said that our class shirt was really unique ^^
The Humanities Department came up with this last-minute item. The teachers were showcasing the styles of music icons from the 60s to the 21st century. Mr Tham did one of the guys in ABBA and Jay Chou. His face was so moody when doing the latter XD Ms Li also did Click Five and it was hilarious. There was also Britney Spears. Wonder why no one did Madonna?
Ms Loo paired out with Mr Keong during the Mathematics Department's item. They were dancing to the tune of uptown girls =D And she saved her rose for our class. \^^/
Oh, and throughout the whole thing, I had to protect my knee from Tessa Sim. She was trying to peel the cracked skin off my wound. Tsktsk. Everytime I turn to look at the stage, she will attempt to prode and study my knee. Lol, she is currently fascinated with it.
I managed to leave school at four plus as we needed to arrange all the old scores in the CCA room. Anna, Evangeline and Joey were really enthusiatic about practising the South African Pantsula. And I was in charge of reminding Ziyu to tag the gowns after we were done with the scores. XD

The trip to Peacehaven was okay. It was quite awkward at the songbird [is that the name?] ward at first. Because of communication problems, it became difficult to understand the people there. Our singing was also, I would say, nice, but still not really great to listen to and I don't think our audience could even understand us. We brought fruits over and made origami for them too. After that, I went off with Pamela, Sihui and Jolene directly from Peacehaven. We took a bus to Pasir Ris MRT station. I didn't know that Downtown East changed so much - as in the entrance area.
I then spent quite a painful evening at home with my poor knee. It took quite a while for me to get to the shower as I was afraid of the pain. Never did I think that I would trip over a loose drain cover [again]. Drains are dangerous, aye.
Today's guitar lesson was good. Jason [ I think that's his name ] was suddenly so hyper and all - he kept volunteering for everything. And he shaved his head 0-0 I thought he became a monk or something. Turned out that he shaved for a cancer donation drive. He was asking Brandon why he didn't shave too [they are from the same school] and joked that Brandon doesn't have any sense of humanity. When teacher asked him to write out the rhythm on the board, Jason got it all wrong - except for the first beat. And teacher asked us, "Who thinks this is correct?". Only Jason raised his hand,"ME!". LOL.
We were given a new piece to learn again and Tammy and I were wondering which note should be sharp. We didn't ask the teacher so it was only until Eugene asked teacher that we knew. It seems to be quite a good thing to sit next to him as he would ask the teacher or if he knows, he would just do a demo. But in the class, there's still no conversation - unless you count those between Jason, Brandon and Nathaniel, or Tammy and Eugenia. And it has been almost eight months.

Tomorrow will be the first day I am able to stay at home. I have been going to school since the start of holiday for rehearsals and the science workshop.
The concert last Saturday was quite good, I guess. But some of the audience didn't seem to like us at all. When I was taking the bus to Clementi MRT station after the whole thing, there was this guy who was with his girlfriend. It was obvious that they were from PJC and he said that we were awful and had no stamina. Oh well. How I wish I didn't hear that...it was so...disappointing. But it's quite true that during the combined songs with Wild Empire and PJChoir, we were kinda drowned out by them. My mum couldn't even see us onstage. Oh well. I kinda prefer combining with Secondary schools choir ^^ The other two choirs are really good BTW.
This time, the sopranos and altos were given separate dressing rooms too. Anyway, as per normal, it was mass change and every one was running around trying to put on make up and do their hair. And Juniper almost lost her gown tag, her rose choker, and her skirt. Tsktsk. Tabitha had to bring the skirt back for her.
The environmental science workshop was relatively interesting... just that I fell asleep. Well, I wasn't sleeping the whole time of course. We went to Sungei Buloh Reserve on the first day. The bus was so jerky that I kept having the urge to puke. As we were sitting at the back of the bus, Anna shifted to the other side so that she wouldn't get puked on. We were saying that if I really puked, Juniper's head would definitely get it coz she's right in front of me. The trip was really short and we only had time to get the water samples and do the broad walk. Before going, I borrowed Anna's mosquito repellent but wiped it off later as it felt disgusting. Oh, and surprisingly, I didn't get any mosquito bites from that place! I think it's because I stuck close to the human mosquito repellent: Juniper. Serious. I know my blood attracts mosquitoes somehow, but I didn't get any bites for the first time!!! But Ziyu and the others got them. Wahaha, Juniper is a repellent! Or maybe she is just a good luck charm. ^^ Hahas. Ziyu mentioned that the bloodtype B+ attracts mosquitoes the most, but I don't really believe in that and I'm not a B+ though I still attract mosquitoes in the Bio lab anyway.
On our way back, I had enough of sitting on that bus and it was so warm. That's why I sat right on the floor of the bus, where the air con ducts were blowing. Yeah, it was quite weird and every time the bus braked, my head will be thrown forward against the back of the seat in front. Oh, and I brought my hippo on Monday and Tuesday too! Hahas, I still think my Hippo is cuter than Juniper's sheep. She brought this yellow-green striped plushie today. Only Anna could remember the name of one of the characters in the show the plushie was featured in - the rest of us can't even remember anything of it.

Lest than half the class turned up for Cyber-Wellness today. The poor speaker had to talk to the pathetic number of us. He was quite an interesting speaker though- at least he does not just waste his saliva and leave. In fact, he tried to talk to us about the famous guys that we may like. Sadly, maybe because of the age gap, all his guesses were wrong. Except for the Show Luo one. Although he isn't popular in class, I like his talk show very much! I can't remember the name, but it's a really funny and interesting show that features on almost any Taiwan stuff, I guess. And Yamada Ryosuke doesn't look like a Taiwanese! It's obvious that he's a Japanese. Hahas. Anyway, I had to leave the talk halfway to get the gowns from the General Office. The gowns look ... slightly different : still as purple, yes.
We ran through the three sacred pieces and the ABBA songs today. Practice was quite fun but everyone seemed tired - especially the Sec4s. After Math, Pearlyn and I went to the canteen to eat and Deborah drowned my beloved Eeyore with her love yet again. Laura and Melanie came down to the canteen too after their paper, and talked during the break to Pearlyn and me. Cynthia was also there.
During the first part of practice, some people came to service the air conditioners in the Seminar room. Some got quite distracted but it was still quite okay. Good thing that Regina Caeli sounds like a song now although there a still mistakes. I must try to memorise all the songs. What I'm very worried about now is Hope, Faith, Life, Love... . Although there are only seven words in the whole song and it's more of a chant, I just can't get it. I mean, I'm okay during sectionals but when we sing combined, I just sound weird and till now, I can't remember the whole song. Gosh. I really must work harder.
We went through the actions for Dancing Queen and it was really messy at first, but Ms Ong told us where to turn and stuff like that. Oh, and we started on the actions for Mamma Mia. Ms Ong told us to just think of any pose for each line within like 30 seconds. Everyone came up with really simple and girly moves. Wahahaha, I never thought I could be bimbotic. Really. But of course I don't use the bimbotic moves that I did when we were not singing in the song. Those were just for fun. =]] Now, the thing is to REMEMBER all the moves that I did during the singing.

I feel miserable now.
I think it is true that I fall ill almost every holiday. I went to the clinic to see Doctor John yesterday evening and he refused to let me go for any CCA, school functions or whatsoever till I get enough rest. When I told him that I think that it's important for me to attend today's full-dress rehearsal, he cut me off by saying that if I sing or talk today, I will definitely lose my voice and shall have to visit him again next week. Of course, after weighing my options, I decided to forgo today's practice and at least, I will be able to go for next week's ones. But I still went to school in the morning to hand in all the programme sheets with me, and left my MC with Kalyn.
Hopefully, by next week, I will be able to sing and I can be able to do Regina Caeli well. ><

We had the sexuality education talk and the school Invasion tour today. It was almost five hours spent in the auditorium.
I find that keeping an open mind about a lot of things is very important. They touched on homosexuality, temptations and sexual abstinence, pre-marital sexual intercourse and lastly, how to take care of your skin and other aspects of puberty. Anyway, it is really awful to be in the same place for such a long period of time. Thank goodness for the invention of the air conditioner.
School invasion tour was fun...But we couldn't make out anything that was spoken by the two vocalists - Tessa Sim and I could only make out what Soo was saying. We sang happy birthday in the auditorium for someone [ I think Soo ] , Crescent style =D The Sec4s in front of us were really funny. They used paper to give their comments to those guys performing. LOL.
Right after that, I had to go to settle some stuff so didn't have time for lunch. As Ms Ong didn't want practice to be interrupted, we had to do the gown-fitting only after 4.30pm. It was really problematic. The Sec1s are all too small-sized. Either that or they are far too short! Gah. Anyway, I feel so tired now, we only went off at about 6.30pm plus plus...and I reached home really late. Oh well, got to sleep now - tomorrow will have combined practice! Good thing we are the host, at least we don't have to know how to get back =]

I feel like crying TT - TT No one is to ask why as that will make me feel even worse.
I just found out that Hey! Say! JUMP has already been formed since ... the end of last year. Hahas, had been listening to visual kei so wasn't really paying attention to any Johnny jr stuff. But, HSJ had a debut concert already!!! Haven't watched the whole thing though =/ Some people uploaded the DVD rip onto Youtube =DDD My favourites are still the same and will be from the former Hey! Say! 7 : Yamada Ryosuke [山田涼介] and Chinen Yuuri [知念侑李]. Yuto is cute too but I still think the other two are funnier XD And I got a shock when Chinen suddenly got up and jumped down during his solo ... it was so high up! Yamada's Perfume song was great. I love Perfume and On The Wind the most =DD I can't wait for the subbed version of Sensei wa Erai! to be uploaded!!! =]
Okay, I feel more cheery now. I felt so sleepy for the whole day, and I did many crazy and irritating stuff to so many people today - I feel sorry for them. During Inter-house games, Keller house had to sit under the sun. So I sat next to Hazel, as she could block away the sunlight XD Sorry Hazel! I think she must have felt that I'm annoying - treating her like an umbrella. Also, I went mad during recess. Hahas, I think I am scary at times.
I dozed off during the talk after recess. I was too tired by then. Funny, when I feel tired, I will try to burn up all my energy [ and going crazy in the process ] and I will be like a deflated ballon after that. Anyway, I can't remember what the talk was about. Just had a really good rest. The air con was cool =]

This will be more of a subsidiary post as I intend to take a mini hiatus. In other words, I would have continued with this hiatus if not for my kind intention of updating my ol' blog =]
My mum bought too much for dinner today. I feel a teensy bit sick of sushis now... inari sushi from Cold Storage in particular. Oshizushi [押し寿司] is the best =]]
Okay, I guess it's obvious that I'm having a bit of a "writer's block" currently, thus making my posts seem very...watery, plain... Don't ask me how the word 'watery' came to my mind - I have no idea.
I seriously need to work on playing the guitar properly =/ I like watching those band members play the bass or electric guitars. They look good =D hahas, that was unrelated to what I was saying...
My mind feels kinda scrambled. This morning, while on the train, I was about to sit down at an empty slot. Then there was this lady carrying many groceries coming into the train [ it was at Outram, I think ]. I got up in order to let her have a seat. On went the train till Bugis station, whereby I felt someone tapping me on the back: the lady had saved me a seat on the other side and gestured for me to sit down. It sounds normal, yet this is the first time a person even shows appreciation. For me that is. Sometimes, people just move their butts into the seat after you stand up without a word of thanks and act as if it was their property in the first place. But it was really kind of that lady =]] I saw Auntie Nget Lee on my way to Tampines interchange later this morning. She did not seem to recognise me and kept looking at my name tag while exchanging words with me. She asked why did school end so early for me and that was about it. I wonder if I'd really looked that different to her.
Anyway, HIATUS/INTERIM. In an attempt to divert the attention of the pretty lacunae in my posts, you can look at Kai's face =D

The teacher gave us another solo piece - Minuet in G, after the O Sole Mio duet. And I find that these two pieces that I've just mentioned are much more difficult than the Greensleeves solo as these two are in G major. Darn, my fingers are hurting so much now...it hurts just to type.
I searched the song O Sole Mio this morning and I came across this wonderful singer. Yes, she's wonderful. Here's the link for Svetlana Dmitrieva singing the Italian folksong with Andrey Shilov playing the chords in the background.

My mum keeps asking me to delete the pictures in the camera that I've taken just an hour ago. As usual, since my CCA ends quite late as by the time I reach the station, it is already nearing eight, I met my mum at the station. And when we were walking up the overhead bridge near the expressway today, we saw this gigantic spider. It reminded me of death. Many mosquitoes were buzzing around the great web and the spider was crawling about. Although the spider seemed to represent the beauty of the onslaught of an unescapable killing, it was the web that attracted my attention. It contained intricate patterns and you could see that it was way huge. There were some flies which were stuck onto the patterns, giving it sophiscated designs. My photo-taking skills are near to zero unfortunately. But I'm not deleting the photos just yet.
During choir practice today, the sop1s seemed to be dying. Lixin said that the way I exclaimed that I'm lost sounds a lot like Ying Tian. Hahas, without Ying Tian's loud voice to cover us, we were really lost. Especially Amazing Grace which killed our voices when we attempted to sing the solo parts. I think at six in the evening, Ms Ong told us about the plans of making alterations to the gowns. Khummi suggested the colour orange for our gowns. Which wasn't really a good idea. Juniper then said, "But we will look naked." I think Ms Ong heard coz she commented that although her ears are very sharp, she will pretend that she didn't hear anything. And when Joey posed the question of the straps being seen under the wide collar, Melanie just answered with the suggestion of not wearing anything under at all. LOL. Ms Ong said we have all gone mad with the studying. XD
Took many candid pictures today.

Tohoshinki's new album, T, is really great. Just that I think I have to wait till maybe June to get it. Coz I've just gotten the w-inds. single, Beautiful Life. The single came with lyrics and a little mini calender card with their pictures on it. And just four songs cost $20 plusplus. Anyway, I think Jae Joong has the best vocals in TVXQ. Hahas.
The road run was fantastic! We got to miss the first period and could stay in the parade square after the run. When the Sec4s got ready to start, the guest-of-honour was supposed to flag them off. Well, she did just that. But the thing was, the flag had its own plan of encouraging the Sec4s to start. The flag flew off the stick when the guest waved it. Wahahaha, I think the person who did the flag thing was not experienced. Anyway, this is the best flagging off incident I've ever seen. LOL, I was telling Zi Yu and Anna about the lady in the field when the next thing I knew, the two flags were literally waved off.
Unfortunately, we did not get to run behind the Sec4s. The Sec3s do not run fast, just like the Sec4s, coz they do not see the point. But they will just seal off the entire path for you. So, you must train yourself to have the talent of weaving through the crowd in the best way possible. If not, they will give you THE glare. Yeah. Despite that, they run was fun. Juniper and Sam [ 2C2's chairperson ] chased each other around the parade square holding the free mineral bottles. By then, the sun had already risen, so most of the lower secondary made do with some unwanted sun tanning - the upper secondary were lucky. I had to sit behind the pillar so that I wouldn't look like a red lobster the next day. During the cheering session, the Sec2s sounded really weird as 2C1 moved up front, in between the two Sec4 classes as one class was in the Chem lab. Yeah, we sounded quite disintegrated. This year's Sec4s are really interesting, they did not scream like other levels, they went way LOW. Something like a gliss. They started high, "AHHHH~woooooooooo". Okay, that looks weird. Ah well. Actually, the other classes did the normal cheer but it was 4G1 and G2 [I think] that went low and the rest followed. It was really funny. Even Ms Ong [ the DM, not the conductor ] was surprised.
I can tie my hair now but it looks bimbotic. It's just a really teeny tail at the back. I think it's better to tolerate the heat and look normal - than look like some weirdo. It doesn't really make a difference coz my fringe would still fall. Who bothers anyway.
Choir learnt Amazing Grace and Hope, Faith, Life, Love on Thursday. These are the combined pieces which will be sang with PJC choir and the adult choir under Ms Ong. Sadly, Soprano did not get the melody for Amazing Grace and i kept going out of tune. Gah~ And during sectionals, Ying Tian got us to try to sing the highest note in the song. I could not reach it then. But funnily, when Juniper, Khummi and I went out to play in the rain [well, I did not play in the rain but the other two did], I suddenly could sing it with ease. Thus, I came up with a conclusion, I can only reach that note if I'm singing damn loud, relaxed and in open places. It was really warm in the Giga-Jam area and I was exercising a lot of self-control to not scream/complain about the heat. After all, it's not like it's the section's fault for being there. The Sec1s did not stop complaining though. And I realise that the choir has been getting distracted easily these days.
Juniper is now trying to worsen the condition of her shoes. She just showed me the 'advancement' of her shoe. Khummi also showed me the nice circle-shaped hole in her own pair of shoes too. I am hereby happy to proclaim that there is a slight progress in Juniper's and Khummi's efforts to worsen their shoes' condition. The tear at the beginning of the sole of Juniper's shoe has lengthen, and Khummi has attained a wider circle.

We finally got to sing Ave Maria on Thurday. I was happy. Hahas.
When Ms Ong asked if there were anymore songs we were interested in singing, the seniors mentioned Ave Regina coelorum. I lent her my score to take a look as the others didn't bring it with them and the juniors don't have the score yet. The thing was that after she took a look, she forgot to hand it back to me. I kept asking her but she took no notice of me till the third time then did she hand it back to me and apologised. Lol, it is quite embarrassing to call someone and he or she does not reply.
I actually told Mr Wong that I did not practise Greesleeves at all. Well, I didn't have time to. So he did not really say much after I played as I did not practise and there was nothing much he could say. At least I did not get scolded.
We recorded the history podcast project already. My role is the great-grandson of the survivor from the World War II. It's weird to hear my recorded voice. Firstly, I think everyone sort of thinks that my voice is quite low. But the recorded version of my voice sounds so... girly, in a way, slightly bimbotic. It's really strange. But young boys are suppose to have high voices I guess.
And if white hair ain't enough, Anna claimed that she saw some golden strands of hair on my head. Well, someone ever told me that I have red strands of hair too. Maybe it's just the lighting. I just hope not to get grey hairs. Somehow, they look much more scary than white strands.

This post will have plenty to do with MRT trains.
This morning, I stepped on some poor guy's slipper. It's a good thing that he had a good sense of balance - otherwise he would be lying on his face, flat on the floor in the next second. And that's worse. The best part: he seemed not to notice that he was walking with only one slipped until my mum publicly exclaimed, " Aiyoh, whose slipper is that?". Then he backtracked and slipped on his slipper. Pity that guy. All happened in full view of the passengers on the train. And I see him sometimes on the train coz he also alights at Redhill. That's bad. He will know me as the evil girl who steps on people's shoe. Anyway, my mum was laughing aloud. I was making an olympic effort not to laugh and to keep a straight face so as not to cause further embarrassment for that guy. Oh well.
I saw Jiayi on the train yesterday. Finally someone who recognises me. We didn't say much as I was already alighting and she had just got on at Bedok.
Anyways, where was I? Oh, I took the train back with Jolene this afternoon. I fell asleep on the way and NO, I didn't fall on any one's shoulder. Good thing that I didn't too. Hahas. There was this guy who was sitting opposite and he was oozing such X-factor. Most of the girls that got on after that kept saying that he's cute and stuff. Although I can think of better looking guys, I must admit that he is really striking. Such people are lucky. They have this natural charisma to them and they attract attention from both genders. Lucky, huh.

I find taking antibiotics troublesome. They are usually difficult to swallow and you have to finish the whole course of them.
I went to the clinic on Monday after drama and choir. And due to my voice, I had to be the casket for the drama skit thing. Yes, I lost my voice, hence I could not rehearse at all, so it would make perfect sense if I get a role which has no need for speaking the lines at all. It was quite...awkward though. Yes, I don't have to memorise any lines, it's easy being a non-living character, but it seriously is idiotic. This was what I wrote for the reflection on my character:

"I'm the casket. Oh joy! I loved being the casket as I looked so idiotic and I don't have any lines to remember."

Anyway, it was fun taking candid shots of people. =]
Oh, and a lizard jumped on me before Home Economics practical exam. How wonderful, you might say. Well, it is pretty easy to tell what I did next. I SCREAMED. Forget about losing my voice, I got my voice then. I never knew I could scream even when having so much phlegm clogging my throat. It. Was. Horrible. The (*^&$^^(*_)&#%^&*((#$%^^)_ lizard jumped onto my apron and fell into the pocket. I was jumping there, trying to untie my apron when the lizard climbed out and leaped down, running to the other side of the room. Just to make sure it was gone, I got Harriet to untie my apron for me [while I was screaming like hell]. I was hyperventilating then, that was why I couldn't untie that damn knot. But I've never seen a lizard jump or leap before. Sheesh. Why must it be that table? I wonder what would happen if the lizard was at the teacher's table instead.
I think I'm gonna fail the exam though. My tart was burnt. No. It was charred. Sigh.
Thank goodness it wasn't a cockroach. I'd die if it was a cockroach instead of a lizard. I think I would be shrieking with more gusto than the fire alarm. Okay, I should not and would not imagine what would happen then. Eeeek.

My throat is clogged with phlegm.
I felt feverish yesterday. Tsktsk, Juniper passed her germs to me.
I'd just watched the last episode of My Girl. =] Okay, this post is gonna be brief as I only have fifteen minutes to use the computer.
I made several mistakes for my lesson today. Partly because of my watch. Most of the time, I would take out my watch when playing but it kept getting caught in the first string. Don't ask me how. It was quite embarrassing and the air-conditioner inside was killing me. Okay, time's up.

Choir camp was fun, but troublesome. I feel ill now. And I finally gave Juniper her birthday present. She calls it THE duck. The only male/bisexual duck who can lay eggs and his eggs are even better than female ducks, plus he has an extra wing XD
We had the slow jog [ is that how it's supposed to be spelt? ] in the morning, whereby we did some game in which teamwork is required. Sop1s were the first =] And after that, we sang Mama Mia.
For lunch, we all went to Redhill hawker centre to eat. It was raining heavily by then, so everyone needed to use umbrellas. Anyway, Juniper, Zhuo Min, Claudia and I shared a table with an old man. The mixed rice there was pretty good. On our way back to school, Juniper sang Christmas songs - and she got mixed up between Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and You Better Watch Out. I tried singing along with her but she is really funny ... I was laughing most of the time xD
We did the Amazing Race after that. Had to go all the way to Tiong. Oh, and coz the other sections caught up with us, we ran all the way from the station to school in the rain. Yes, everyone was wet. This time, the order was exactly the other way round, alto2s, alto1s, sop2s then sop1s. Then everyone slacked for some time before starting on Dancing Queen and Chiquitita. Money, Money, Money is truly a weird and desperate song.

It's raining heavily now.
It's funny how raindrops are like tears, sliding off surfaces and falling from the grey eyes of the skies. I always think of this whenever it rains. But it's also cheerful in a melancholic way - the sky is crying for you and your misery. Even if you aren't miserable or anything, it's like your comrade, forever siding you unconditionally. Just like a parent.
I have always viewed the weather as emotions I guess. Silly as it seems. I dislike sunny weather though. Although people view the sunny skies as cheerful, it's a total annoyance to me. Doesn't it seem like the weather is deliberately trying to anger you further by making you feel warm and irritated? But of course, like everything else, there are always the pros and the cons. I wouldn't like it to rain if I'm having an outdoor activity that I really like or if I'd forgotten to bring an umbrella on that day. Although I think I would be admiring the monochrome background under some shelter. I think I prefer windy days over sunny ones too. Just that I don't think I appreciate the wind messing my hair till I look like some lost madwoman.
I've just found that despair is more like quicksand and not like the sadness everyone thinks it is. it may not purely sadness. It's like a drug, that would drag you down without your realisation. To struggle would only result in frustration. The best way is to only try your best to seek the best way to wake up, I guess.

Mama Mia is such a catchy song =] We got the scores for Dancing Queen and Mama Mia by Abba on Thursday. At least they are much better to sing than Regina Caeli >< Till now, I still can't sing Regina Caeli well. x_x
Anyway, Ave Maria sounds really good when all the sections combine.
I've got nothing much to blog about actually. So I hereby advise you not to read any further as it will just be the usual daily rantings.
There isn't any holiday to speak about. Just because of the many projects, I will have to go to school everyday during the March holiday. I don't mind going for the choir camp or the Science lesson and I usually don't care about projects - I will just do it. But I really dislike it when the different teachers decide to give so many projects at once. We are humans after all. Well, at least I hope all of us are in this case.
Moving on from this dreary topic, I have finally found my favourite Chupa Chups flavour this morning! Somehow, I just can't find the one I want at any store =/ And I forgot what is the name of the flavour again. Darn. I can only remember the design of the wrapping. Anyway, I bought it from this old provision shop this morning. Oh well, maybe it is such an old flavour that almost no one sells it? I passed the shop when I went to the salon to trim my hair.
The hair stylist that has been trimming my hair is going to transfer to yet another salon. She said that it will still be in Tampines. This time, I made it clear that I don't want it that short. I still can recall the disaster she created last time - she cut my fringe too short and it was horrendous. At least, this time, she trimmed it and knew that I didn't want it too short.
While she was busy trimming my hair, I'd suddenly thought about this strange question that someone asked me not too long ago. 'Why do boys like girls with long hair?' 'Tis strange, but I found that it seemed to be quite true.I don't know why, but in my Primary school and in TK, the boys seemed to like those with long hair. Sadly, even if I did have long hair last time, no one was interested in me in that way. Hahas. Yes, that's how sad my life is. Okay, I'm drifting from the topic here. Anyway, I asked my friend. And it IS true that boys do like girls with long hair.

I watched the movie that I'd wanted to watch so much this evening. August Rush is such a beautiful movie! Basically, it is about how music finds people and not the other way round - about how people react to music around them. And the connection it creates amongst people with its visual poetry. Although a bit too whimsical, the music helps to make the movie great =] Gosh, I lovelovelove August's Rhapsody. And Freddie Highmore is such a good actor. Well, I have always liked him for his acting and looks.
Oh, and I bought a Rubik's Cube today. Although I am still trying to solve it on my own =P
Well, I have no time to post something substantial today. Ta.

The song that's playing now is Missing by ELLE GARDEN. I like them very much coz their English is really good as compared to the other bands. And their English lyrics are also grammatically correct =D And, unlike what some people think, they are a Japanese rock band.
I'm not listening to just one band these days. So I'm more or less listening to songs by many many bands =p
The TPC is so heavy! But I love it and of course, I definitelyabsolutelypositively love my slipcase too ^^ And I definitelyabsolutelypositivelyfantastically love the weather today. Okay, I wanna watch 'My Girl' now. It's a great comedy =D

I prefer to listen to instrumental songs these days. Weird. I love the song 'Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence' by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Yes, it's the song that was played during the "The Leap Years" advertisement.
Today's Math paper was hell. I can see that the highest I can get for this paper is D7 T-T
I pity the guy who's helping us print the class hoodies. He had to go to his office and we spent quite a long time just to decide on one colour. Oh well. I feel guilty.
I think the Sec1s are getting their TPCs today. I saw the fujitsu people coming to our school this afternoon. Well, we're getting ours soon too so cheer up people.
BTW, we got back our Chinese test papers today. 陈老师 marking speed is remarkably fast. Whether or not is that bad news is yet another matter. Because of the comprehension - which was tough. But it was the passage cloze that struck the final blow. Uwahhh.

The movie The Leap Years which was adapted from the e-novella, Leap of Love by Catherine Lim seems like a heart-wrenching story. It seems a bit tragic-like to me - imagine meeting the one you love only thrice within a span of twelve years, that is to say, meeting every leap year like the title suggests. But somehow, it makes you curious about how it will turn out.
Anyway, today my mum asked her colleague, aunty Sybil, on her religion. That is to say, if I should go for classes. But I'm already so old. Anyway, many have said that the classes are boring. There were and are still instances whereby i kinda envy people who were already born into a certain religion. Maybe that's why they can remain to committed and devouted to their religion? Ah well, you can say I'm just either plain lazy or not ready to be committed even after all these years.
I went to an ex-schoolmate's blog and saw so many familiar faces. Most of which were my lower primary schoolmates. Not 6/9. It seems weird. Not seeing these people daily while they are so close to each other now. And so many people have changed ever since last year. Hahas, so far, my post seem to be a tad too sentimental, no?
Everyone's waiting for their TPCs now I guess. While there's the long wait and the feeling of finally able to get a TPC like the seniors. Plus the novelty of having a newer model than previous years, I feel that it would be kinda a great responsibility of not losing it or having it stolen ><
Last week's guitar class was like the usual. Just that we have started on strumming. Although it sounds much better, it is definitely difficult to play. After all, the beautiful-sounding F chord is always there to hinder our chord changes.
The only advantage of having exams and such is that we get to go back home right after our paper has finished. Unfortunately, we don't have that privilege tomorrow as lessons will resume after Math after like three days of common tests.
I have been having nightmares lately. Rather, I have been getting the feeling that I had been having nightmares. After all, I don't bother to remember what exactly happened in my dreams - I can only remember the people involved. It's the weather. Blame it all on the humidity.

I wish to paint my nails black. If not for the need to go back to school during holiday.

Labels: School Days

Crap.
That was basically what I wrote for History.
I have been feeling down lately but that may be because of just the usual tiredness.
I have this feeling that I'm gonna fail Literature. And most probably History. Darn.
Need more motivation.
Deb exclaimed that I have two [strands of] totally white hair. Really, is that such a big problem. Anyway, hopefully, I wouldn't be getting anymore white strands anytime soon.
I didn't blog about a lot of things that happenned last week. For choir, we're learning 'Ave Maria' now. But I can't remember anything that I'd sang last week. Anyways, the song sounded lovely during combined. Oh, Ms Ong [ the new conductor ] taught us many new stuff about effective vocal techniques and to sing in a richer voice while breathing properly. She let us sing 'Can't help falling in love with you' on Valentine's Day XD All Disney songs are great =]
I have to study now. MAY be taking a slight hiatus...but that depends if I can be bothered to post.

;the yarn spun out of control. wings torn apart, trying to reach out,

Like last year, they gave a longlonglong speech about Total Defense Day during morning assembly while they let us stand with our mouths shut.
I love this year's emergency drill. Sec2s were the first to reach the field coz we're the at block G which is right next to it. And our level had absolutely no sense of urgency. Everyone was like,"Oh, the drill is it? Okay, let's go." And off we go, strolling like 50m to the assembly area and we're still the first. The rest of the levels came rushing down after a while. Oh, and we were there for like one hour plus - they couldn't find one missing soul. Anyway, although it was quite boring, people were passing on pokes. Tessa gave me a blade of grass. Deb was in a grass fight/riot at the back. Tsktsk, counsillor, you're suppose to stop people from plucking those poor grass blades. She was plucking them with her two hands and throwing them down people's blouses. [ Shakes head ]. Luckily it didn't rain yesterday or today, if not, our skirts would be soaked with wet mud. It freaks me out - just thinking about it. I hate sticky, damp mud.
Okay, I think I should stop here before I start to sound like a spoilt brat =]

I feel like some obese mammoth has just plopped down on the back of my head. Yes, that's how bad my headache is. Oh, I feel ill. =/
We made cupcakes for Home Econs lesson today. It would be better if we could make muffins though. Anyway, it was quite tiring when using the creaming method to mix.
How nice it will be if Valentine's Day can be considered a public holiday. Every morning, I will see this guy waiting for his girlfriend at the traffic junction and they will walk to school together. So sweet. It's like those mangas XD
Darn, I've just remembered that there's Math Quiz tomorrow. I guess that's Ms Loo's Valentine's gift to us. Chinese test today was ... slightly tough. The comprehension at the back was seriously beyond my comprehension. Yes. I didn't know what on earth was it about. Only something about Singapore being a gracious society. I had to read it at least three times before answering the questions. It was all chim-ology before the third time. Attempt number two caused me to finally achieve enlightenment. It was about the table/restaurant manners of typical Singaporeans during buffets. And what we can do to improve this problem and it is still possible to have Singapore be a gracious society. At least that's what my linguistic skills told me 0_0 If I'm wrong, then I'm so dead.

No one except Yvonne is submitting designs for the class hoodie thing =/ Hello, the more you delay it, the later you will receive it. I think the whole class hates me now. Coz I'm like, always being so extra or scolding people and I'm so irresponsible. Uwahhh.
I went to Thye Hong centre with Geraldine and Xinyi after school. I feel so guilty towards them and Deb. Sorry Deborah!!! But Xinyi and Geraldine waited more than ten minutes for me and it's impossible to wait for Daoxin [ she takes such a long time! ] EVERY Tuesday when I need to rush off. Sorry to both sides. Anyway, I discussed and more or less decided on the details for the class hoodie. All we have to do now is get the designs and the sizes =D I feel so accomplished.
For the whole of today, I was half-asleep. While playing floorball this morning, I didn't even know what on earth am I doing. I just hit the ball and looked at it blur-ly. I think I was like a zombie. And my ears really hurt. I wonder why everyone is shouting in my ear this days. I'm very sensitive to loud or high pitched sounds you know. I know someone who can sing real high and it gives my shivers when he does that LOUDLY. So during the birthday celebration today, Deborah really hurt my ears when she kept shouting. And Rachel has such a loud voice too. I never knew 0_______0
Oh, and even if there wasn't any mass run today, there wasn't any difference. First, coz I couldn't find Deb to record her temperature, I was late in submitting the temperature list. So I had to run all the way to the GO. But unfortunately, no one told me that I must also submit the wellbeing form. Of course, I ran all the way back and had to complete the form and run ALL the way back just to submit that form. Therefore, I can safely say that, I did run today...although it wasn't by free will.

I feel excluded from my cousins. Not that they try to exclude me in any way. It's just that we all have grown apart. When Dennis mentioned that they haven't been to my house and that they still remember playing with Barbie dolls last time at my old house brings back memories. I still remember Dada [ not his real name but that's what everyone calls him ], Dennis and I used to play with Lego every Sunday. Don't remember playing with Ivan though. He was always bullied and would cry. But now, I think I talk more to Ivan than the other two. And Dada's vocabulary is simply colourful. He has changed a lot and the changes aren't for the better. Sadly. Hopefully Dennis wouldn't get influenced by him too =/ But it's impossible for people to remain unchanged, can they? Gone is the initial child-like innocence.
We played 'Heart Attack' using hands today. Poor Yu Sheng was not welcomed by the rest. It was quite fun though.
I've realised that time can change a person greatly and it's kinda sad that I'm not close to my cousins anymore. But anyway, it's not like I can really understand vulgarities that are too profound for my humble ears.
I feel so fat. After eating CNY goodies, I feel like a fat walrus. Gosh, I think I've put on like 5kg...darn. For this CNY, my dressing is quite extreme. Yesterday, I wore this olive dress that made sitting difficult. The length of the dress plays a big part in the way you sit- I realised that. And for today, I wore this skull tee with a dark vest over it plus black slacks. Oh, and my brown cap. Looked quite boyish.
Holidays always go by too quickly...how I wish CNY can be dragged longer. I'm dreading common tests. Doom lies ahead.

This year's CNY concert is much better than last year's =D
The dancers were great. But if you compare our school's dancers and the China dancers...it's quite a big difference. Anyway, all the items were great. And there was this Chinese opera singer. Gosh, I wonder how high can she go. I was sitting directly under the speaker and yes, I could hear her extremely clearly and it was...well, blasting. I like the peacock dance the most. That dancer's figure was PERFECT. Yes, if only I have that kind of figure. Everyone, let's start dancing religiously and gain that slim, slender figure! I bet she is not 100% human. Does she have bones to begin with? She can really dance.
After the concert, everybody was rushing to the toilet. Including me - I jumped around while waiting for my turn.
I find it awkward to go back to SHPS to visit. I mean, there would be Sec1s to visit the teachers. And it would be quite weird seeing your exclassmates when you didn't make any effort to keep in touch. Anyway, I doubt many will be there. Jolene will be going though.

Yes, I'd realised that i have not been blogging for eons.
I can't paint. Serious. Painting is so troublesome...Markering is a much better task. My art work was splattered by my black 'Painty' marker yesterday evening. I forgot to close the cap and yup, I shook vigorously. I don't need to type about what happenned next as I don't see why I should waste the effort of that while you can figure it out already.
I stayed back almost everyday this week. Never knew decorating a classroom was this tough. I mean, why must the ceiling be so high up? Anyway, Chinghan and Elizabeth were shouting some MCR [ I think ] songs into my ear when I was trying to paste the stuff onto the walls on Thursday. They were following me about while singing their poor lungs out. Thanks a lot guys but you don't have to sing so many love songs for me =D
At least I now think that Alleluia is a nice song although I still make some mistakes when singing it. Some of the Sec1s came in to see us practise. They spent most of their time doing their homework though. If I were them, I would have gone home.
And I got a bruise from those darn skates. I mean, that guy really tightened the strap around my ankle. I think blood circulation stopped while I was skating. The bruise still hurts very much thank you. Gah, I gtg now. ta.

Yesterday's Learning Journey trip was more about fooling around than being on a school trip. On our way there, I had a great headache =/ But it went away after being on the stable ground. The smell of the bus was the cause of it I guess.
We went to the gallery thing and walked one big round. Saw Sihui's "boyfriend" sitting on the bench there xD After that, we went to this so-called lift and went up to the 50-something floor. Yeah. Of course it's fake.
Then there was this mock family clinic reception counter. Pearlyn went behind it and became the receptionist. Then Tessa S came and demanded a HDB flat [ she didn't see the family clinic sign ]. After she realised her mistake, she went, "oh, then I want a baby!!". LOL. Jessis and Yvonne were playing with the blood pressure thing if I'm not wrong.
Oh, the food at the food court was relatively expensive! The waffle ice cream was pathetically small. Almost everyone bought it though...could see so many ppl walking past carrying that. Deb and I bought kueh to share. It was delicious. But after eating some, you will feel sick. That's why we felt like puking afterwards.
The guide allowed us to walk around the mall on our own for half an hour. Most bought cookies from Famous Amos to eat instead of doing the worksheet though. Oh, Pam and I orbited the class three rounds! But that just made me dizzy...hahas =D
For the feedback form, they asked us to draw something which made the most impression on us. Deb and I drew the oh-so-comfortable-sofa, the green kueh and the waffle-ice-cream-which-is-overpriced-but-still-popular. Overall, it was fun coz of the people who were there =]
Today was normal...But it is tiring seeing a teacher for two subjects within one day- especially if you dislike the subjects. Dislike Home Econs theory. We made pasteries today. They should just call it puffs. I mean, they look like puffs - add some curry = curry puffs. But they are so much more filling then curry puffs. After eating the two I'd made, I'd felt like retching. Something like the kueh incident yesterday. It's not so much as overeating : it's more like being sick of that certain food. =D my analysis is so nice, just like my toothpaste theory. Okay, I think this post is long enough already. ta

I went to Deb's YF at her church this evening. We met in school in the morning for the tablet roadshow and then went to J8 to wait for Sihui. Bishan is a weird place. Yes.
Anyway, we did our homework at Deb's house till three plus and went to her church. The people there are very friendly and easy-going but they all look really intimidating. All of them are so tall and slim. They played water games today. It was fun watching people getting sabotaged and soaked. Of course Sihui and I just stood at the side coz we didn't have extra clothes.

I forgot to blog about CCA open house. It was quite boring...the only fun thing to do was to snatch people away from other CCAs to sign up at our booth. Couldn't find my mortal to ask her to sign up though. I remember Amelia doing that to me last year even though I can't dance [ she literally pulled me across ].
Today's lesson was - guess the word - yes! you got it right! How clever! It was silent. We pratised some more broken chords and moved on to learn our first solo song: Andante in C Major. It's a nice song.
I'm still depressed over the shoes thing. Apparently, I can't wear my fantastic NewBalance shoes to school now and can only wear them on weekends. What's wrong with black and neon green streaks I wonder. My shoes are so freaking lovely T-T. Even Sihui agrees [ go read her blog ]. So, now, I will wear my old Nike shoes to school. It is very innocent and plain looking, I suppose. And no one will ever record my name again! =D See the halo over my brainy head? Yes, I know the halo is far too bright for you guys - try wearing shades.
Anyway, thanks to the advanced technology of our dear 21st century, my mortal more or less knows who I am. Yes, through blogs. As they say, curiosity kills the cat. Well, at least I know how Brenda looks like and she doesn't yet. Yay! I'm more mysterious then Deb! Or Deebwah.
I didn't go to Sihui's party today coz of three factors. One, I have my class. Two, Elmo's there, ready to claw me to death. Three, I'm far too lazy and I hate hougang. That place is just too depressing and can kill a person's spirits.
Now, I shall make some nice and pretty announcements here.
Deb, you still owe me one exercise book and it has been a week. Please don't forget the $15.65!! Otherwise I shall hang a chicken head on your door like what you said - since you like them so much.
Same applies for Andro =D Otherwise, I shall have to resort to poisoned darts or grenades. But I can't aim properly with darts though...and grenades may spoil public property...Ah well.

I went to Terminal 3 at Changi airport today with my mum and cousin to see his father off to US. After that, four of us, Ivan, 4th aunt, my mum and I went shopping. We first went to Heeren since I'd to get Sihui's really EXPENSIVE Gackt's Diabolos. They had Arashi!!! MatsuJun!!! Hahas=] But unfortunately, I couldn't find Alice Nine. =/ Therefore, to console myself, I ate unagi for dinner. Yes, unagi is good but quite expensive.
We ate unagi at MosBurger though. Hahas, I bet some will be thinking of unagi don and stuff instead of just an unagi rice burger =]] That was at Raffles City. We dropped by Robinsons to see 3rd aunt also. Have to go now. Ta.

My fingers are aching after playing broken chords so many times during class. The guy sitting beside me was muttering "shit". It's seriously difficult to play different broken chords... My pinky hurt like crazy. But at least the song was nice which made it all worthwhile.
Dinner today was good. My mum bought a bottle of soba sauce and green tea noodles. I love cold noodles with soba sauce!!! They are lovely!!! And there was also steamed salmon plus Japanese cucumbers =]]
I went to the salon to cut my hair on Friday evening. It was a disaster. Apparently, the stylist thinks that a trim is to cut it real short till I look like a total absolute geek. Yes, she destroyed the length and shape of my fringe. Wow, I look like some weird nerd now.
Saturday was spent searching for an inspiration for my abstract painting. Ideas came to me after looking at Joan Miro and Kandinsky's works and also from a Taiwanese variety show. The show was about this game that the artistes needed to play in order to get the reward [ which was a free three-day stay at some resort ]. If they don't form the shape of the block that will be approaching them from the front, they will be pushed into the water behind. That was where the concept of water came from =P

Labels: guitar

I've chosen who to be my mortal. It was a 'first-come, first-serve basis' so I'd just chose Brenda. Deb pointed her out to me when we were in the auditorium [ she was on council duty and I was with the choir ].
Anyway, I got to skip class for almost three periods as the choir had to teach the school song to the Sec1s. And I'd lost track of the number of times we sang it for the benefit of the Sec1s - hopefully we sounded okay. Then came the impromptu performance. Laura suddenly announced that we were going to perform two songs to welcome the Sec1s. We sang El Barquito and Joshua Fit the Battle Of Jericho. Those two were from the concert's repertoire. Afterwards we sang Happy Birthday for Miss Seow, Crescent style of course=] That was after we got down the stage.
This year, my form teacher is Mr Tham. Yes, the one in charge of late-coming. But, I've never been late and hopefully I can have a clean record all the time =D He's our History teacher as well. Anyway, the lessons today were mostly about what to bring for the next lesson and what is to expected of us as a class during lesson. We also had to introduce ourselves and say our new year resolutions. Although I have never made new year resolutions before, I just made up one as it would be rude not to do so. Mine was: to do well in my studies, and to at least try to lose more weight and grow taller. =]]

I will upload some of the photos i took when I went to the Zoo on Saturday some time later as I've got only five minutes to spare on blogging.
Tomorrow will be the first day of school and I've forgotten like, more than half of the school song and I have to sing it tomorrow T-T Gah, will need to memorise it again.
