How do humans dislike each other? Does the brain release some sort of chemical, similar to when we are excited? How is it that a person can just dislike some one's voice that much? Or am I the only one? Why do voices affect me so much? Or am I a superficial person? Maybe I'm too harsh on people? Why am I so disturbed? Why couldn't I control my temper like I always do? How did I lose control?
How did I manage to just show my anger like that? I don't understand why I couldn't control my emotions. Somehow, I just spoke before thinking about the consequences. Of course, no one in my class were greatly affected by it since they are the sort who would only take it seriously if someone shouts at the class. But I never shout when I am angry. Therefore no one took me seriously.

Therefore no one took me seriously.
On the other hand, I was greatly upset with myself. It didn't and still doesn't make sense for me to just lose my composure like that. I rarely show my anger and even if I did, I would do it in a discrete manner so that I wouldn't make a fool of myself. And I did make a great big fat fool out of my conduct. Everyone just laughed it off, thinking I wasn't serious. Well, I was too angry to shout and I don't understand why people would waste the effort to shout at someone you really dislike. Shouting is when you are only irritated and wish for someone to quit annoying you.
I am having difficulties sleeping recently. My mother says it's stress but I can't really find the cause of it. There's something missing. Or rather, there's something that has been bugging me. I wonder if it's because I am upset with not controlling my anger as well or if it's because of my studying. Thus, I have been really sleepy these few days although I just can't sleep - not even during daytime. The worst thing that happens every night after I fall asleep is that I will wake up at weird hours, such as 2am or 4am.
However, I don't think my sleeping difficulty has got anything to do with the anger management matter since this problem started before that.
On a lighter note, Deborah taught me that court shoes can become 'fishes'. She tied her pair of court shoes in a plastic bag. The way she did it was exactly the same as how the lady at the market would tie the fish. =D
The questions for Paper 1 surprised me. I then wrote about something personal. I usually write stories based on daily stuff, or my own life. If it's personal, of course I will change it to a happy story, otherwise the teachers will comment that it's too depressing and dreary.
The comprehension was about some Baginda Sutan guy and a haunted hill in Malaysia. Oh, and the tiger kind of made a big impact on me.
While I was walking home on one of those days, there was a guy who suddenly called out "chiobu". I then turned around to see who was that comment directed at. There was no one behind so I guess it was either me or the group of guys he was with at that moment. Since I didn't know what on earth did that term mean and it sort of made me curious since my cousin used it before, I asked Sean what it meant. According to him, it means "pretty girl", which, he stressed, wasn't me. Well, I wonder what is becoming of Singaporean boys then - calling other boys pretty girls. That's a scary thought. Hahas, anyway, it sounds more like a vulgar remark to me.

I wonder what is the cause of a phobia. And I wonder how absurd can people's phobias get. Like phobias of pigeons and flying objects.
Unfortunately, I can say that I belong to this group of people who are terrorised almost daily just because of these ridiculous fears that have found a way to carve a home in our little timid hearts. Of course, I'm not that stupid as to post all my phobias here since Internet is a very dangerous place and I know some will want to scare me. I have all the common phobias: deep waters, creepy crawlies etc. However, I also have weird fears of animals which are within a 5m radius. Unless they got a muzzle on. Cruel as it seems, I am not those cutesy girls who fawn over a cute puppy or kitten.
The trip that TK organised to SPCA five years ago was troubling for me even then. Sure, I didn't run away from the place (it was because I was so afraid the animals would chase after me if I started pushing my chubby legs). They put a rabbit on my lap. Well, I kind of volunteered since I would have to be near that suspiciously looking cat. I was thinking: A rabbit wouldn't have claws as sharp as a cat's right? And they don't look as vicious. I didn't know rabbit had such sharp nails. It dug its nails right into the towel they put onto my lap I was so scared and needed to take deep breaths to calm myself down since they said that animals can sense humans' emotions and they will run wild if they feel nervous. The only thing I could do was to stroke it gently and promise it silently that I will not run and throw it on the floor if it doesn't bite/claw at me.
Funny, I loved animals like crazy when I was much younger. I still remember I almost squeezed a chick to death with my overwhelming love at some egg farm my mum brought me to. Right now, the only animals I love are those animal designs on objects. I can't even remember when it started, this problematic fear. I almost fainted when Klare suggested for us to go to SPCA for SiA last year.
The next most idiotic fear would be calling others on the phone. I don't think it can be classified as a phobia actually. When I call a person, the minute the other party picks up the call, my mind goes blank. Unless the stuff that I want to say is urgent, otherwise I will need some time before starting. My mum thinks that it's a serious problem since I won't call my friends. Therefore she gets happy when the phone actually rings.
"If We Hold On Together" sure is a great song, but it's a tough song to play too. Anyway, we changed to an easier song to play today. All of us were so relieved.
Anyway, on a lighter note, since you are such a loyal reader as to read the whole draggy post, here's a lovely story written by writers Suet Yi and Mei Jun:
It is a good story - considering the fact that we managed to put in all the keywords that Mrs Lau gave us (those in bold. ) and that we did in in less than five minutes.

Anyway, on a lighter note, since you are such a loyal reader as to read the whole draggy post, here's a lovely story written by writers Suet Yi and Mei Jun:
The dark tropical jungle smelled full of fear and death. Two brave explorers, Suet Yi and Mei Jun, were very, very hungry. Their food supply got stolen by a gorilla, Ah Ming, the night before.
Nervously, they crept through the muddy, unstable ground, afraid that they might fall. Suddenly, Suet Yi's leg got stuck in the mud.
Trembling, Mei Jun wrinkled her nose and stretched out her hand into the mud to help to pull Suet Yi's leg out. Unfortunately, Mei Jun got cut by thorn which was protruding out from a bush in the mud. Almost simultaneously, Suet Yi and Mei Jun sank deeper into the mud.
At that moment, they could hear chanting from a distance. A group of people clad in tribal clothes were marching towards them. Being stuck in the mud, they were unable to escape when the men tied them up. There was a brief flash of defiance in Mei Jun's eyes, which turned into an aghast expression once she realised that the men were cannibals.
A huge-sized man, presumably the leader of the cannibals, had a smile of pure stunned joy once he knew they had caught food.
It is a good story - considering the fact that we managed to put in all the keywords that Mrs Lau gave us (those in bold. ) and that we did in in less than five minutes.

We started on netball for PE this term. At least it's not as bad as volley ball. Although I still got hit. This time it wasn't a ball, but it was a hand. My cheek still hurts...Jaclyn really has tough fists. We were both trying to catch the ball and somehow, her arm shot out and made contact with my left cheek. Hahas, I kind of blanked out for a few seconds.
Since I have not been blogging for a while, I shall add in some happenings from the week before.
The holiday week was alright, I guess. Just that I'm paying back big time for the hours I'd slept. During the September holidays, I go to bed at around twelve each night and wake up at about seven to eight in the next morning. And compare it to my usual sleeping hours during school days. Oh well. These few mornings have been a hellish experience for me since I have to revert to waking up before Mr Sun comes out to greet the skies. But I have trouble sleeping since last week. Even though I may go to bed at eleven or twelve, I can only sleep at one...
And I almost missed Redhill MRT station this morning if not for my mum poking me awake.
From two incidents that happened within a span of two weeks, I have thus concluded that my school skirt is prone to behaving like Marilyn Monroe's trademark dress.
Incident #1
Last Friday, as there was choir, I didn't bother to change out of my skirt and went to meet my mum for dinner in it. After eating, while walking back, we were crossing the road to reach my block. Unfortunately, I sort of slipped at the curb while a motorcycle drove past. And, it was pretty embarrassing when my skirt flipped up. Thank goodness I was wearing shorts underneath. It was pretty rude of that motorcyclist to laugh at me while driving past though. =/
Incident #2
This afternoon, I was walking with Pamela to the canteen to look for Sihui. Geraldine didn't see what happened as she was walking with Zoey at the back. Anyway, there was this gush of wind and yes, my skirt flew up again. And the same thing repeated when I was walking home. Oh joy.
I don't really have much to post about. These are some memorable quotes from the two weeks. Most of them are from choir.
"Which part of the face is the sound coming from?" - Ms Ong
"Uhmm, the face?" - Me.
"Where is the sound coming from now, Khummithra?" -Ms Ong
"Huh? Oh, erm, from you?" - Khummi.
"I feel like the third party..." - Me. "Oh, it's okay. You can have an affair with both of us" - Teryne.
"Sing with your eyes close! Close your eyes when I point at you! Close, close!" - Juniper.
"But you said to close our eyes when you point at us! You were not pointing at me" -Teryne.
"Good job Sop1s! You all sing better with your eyes closed. Now, we are going to keep singing Alleluia again and again...till Ms Ong comes in so that she can listen to our beautiful singing" - Juniper.
"Don't laugh! Remember what Ms Ong said? That our voices will go back down to our throat if we laugh like that? We must laugh like this: hohohohoho..." -Juniper, on 'How to laugh properly with a high voice placement'.
"Oh my gosh! What happened to her bloody knees!?" -Teryne, on how bloody Florence's knees were (literally).
"A muffin is the bigger version of a cupcake. Whereas the cupcake is a smaller version of the...cupcake?" - Cake Professor, Yimin, on the difference between a cupcake and a muffin.
"My chair is missing" -Deborah.
"I want to sing" - Misheard version of the previous quote.
"This guy has ABS." - Yimin, on her Korean guy star.

Quite a few people forgot to bring their PE shirts to school last week for the ACES day workout. Anyway, I think I failed miserably in the dance workout. I did not know what I was doing... We had to separate into our houses after the workout for the mass dance. We got to see each house dance their very own creation. Although Keller had some initial technical hiccups, we got the first prize!!! Yes, I love Keller the most. Of course, we got our own free class interaction after the mass dance segment. Alas, Ms Li was so busy chatting with her fellow teacher that she was pretty late in her arrival. Mr Tham also had to wait for her as we wanted to blind-fold both of them. It was quite fun though. And we used the councillors' ties as blind-folds. We then led them into their kingdom, where everyone was waiting to crown our beloved teachers.
The two teachers gave us their royal "speech" in the classroom after that. Overall, this year's concert was great =D
Since I told Victoria that I will meet her at TK, I went there after meeting my mum for lunch at Bugis.
It is kind of weird meeting your childhood friends after two years. When I say childhood friends, I mean those that I met since young. Like Cynthia, whom I have known since I think...kindergarden to Primary six? And the rest like Melissa and Don are those that I have known since Primary one. Hahas, They actually look the same to me. I didn't really know how to talk to them since the atmosphere was really tense. Plus, the other three are in the same Secondary school. All of us then waited for Victoria to come while chatting with the teachers individually.
After Victoria came, things became a bit better but I still found communication tough. I kind of feel left out now, hahas. Cynthia and Melissa were friendly though. And I wonder what's with the NPCC trend. Yeow Yang, Weng Lun and Don all joined NPCC. Anyway, Mrs Quek invited all of us to return for the Christmas party at the end of this year. Urgh, I don't know if I really want to go now...
Even after Shermine came, it was still quiet. Karen and I more or less ignored each other since we were not that close anyway. Hahas, and I couldn't talk to Don since it was too strange...what can you say to someone who argued with you over the most insignificant things since Primary one. -.-
Anyway, maybe it's because I left TK earlier than them in Primary six, therefore I'm not really that close to them anymore. Still, it makes me feel so old...remembering the days whereby all of us played together. That was in Primary one to four, I think. After that, most of us were not as close. There was Pei Yi, Hui Xuan, Weng Lun, Qian Yi and uhm, I forgot the last person's name. Oh gosh, am I really that old?
Saturday was spent with Mummy and Auntie Shirlene in Orchard Road. We went to some Chinese restaurant at Paragon for lunch. The chicken was good but I couldn't finish my share. I got sick of the chicken after a while ( most of the dishes had meat ). It was pretty much the usual actually. After lunch, the adults sat at some cafe to chat through maybe two hours. Auntie Shirlene said that I should pack some cup noodles if I'm going to Europe. That's if the trip to Prague really comes true. After all, ten days without rice or noodles may kill me. And I have to remember to bring some medication otherwise I will kill myself during the flight.
We are currently learning "If We Hold on Together" in my guitar class now. Unfortunately, I have no confidence to learn the piece since the page is full of barre chords. At least I have two weeks to learn the chorus =D
Oh well, there's choir later. Ta.

My common test results are okay. I got no Cs or Ds. Hopefully, I will be able to do even better for EOYs. Bleh, there's only three more weeks. At least PBL is finally over. Good luck to those who are joining IP and need to do PBL regularly XDDD
I think I fell asleep during English today. Somehow, I vaguely remember Suet Yi strangling me. I sort of blacked out after that. And no, I didn't faint. I don't think so. Anyway, she told me she was trying to keep me awake. =D
I brought Yimin's birthday present today but she is only coming back on Thursday. I don't like holding on to presents for so long D:
And there's also the section run tomorrow and choir run the day after. How great of Juniper to decide that we should run on both days. Oh well. Maybe I can lose weight by running four times a week? I can see how slim the possibility of me actually being thin is...

My common test results are okay. I got no Cs or Ds. Hopefully, I will be able to do even better for EOYs. Bleh, there's only three more weeks. At least PBL is finally over. Good luck to those who are joining IP and need to do PBL regularly XDDD
I think I fell asleep during English today. Somehow, I vaguely remember Suet Yi strangling me. I sort of blacked out after that. And no, I didn't faint. I don't think so. Anyway, she told me she was trying to keep me awake. =D
I brought Yimin's birthday present today but she is only coming back on Thursday. I don't like holding on to presents for so long D:
And there's also the section run tomorrow and choir run the day after. How great of Juniper to decide that we should run on both days. Oh well. Maybe I can lose weight by running four times a week? I can see how slim the possibility of me actually being thin is...

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.

Friday's D&T test was tough. I finally know how great Mr Ho was in making our papers easy. I can see that Mr Chu intends to kill us all with his questions on isometric drawings and orthographic projections. Jessie predicted wrongly about the designing question. She guessed that we would be asked to designed something easy like a flowerpot. No one expected that we would need to come up with three items as souvenirs for the Youth Olympics in 2010. Anyway, I stressed a lot on Singapore's climatic conditions in my anecdotes for my designs. After all, many tourists complained about the heat and the humidity in our sunny little island. With only two minutes left, my last design was a plush toy. No one can resist a cute, hug-able soft toy.
Chinese oral was kind of a disaster. I was supposed to be the first for my group but thank goodness Sarah needed to go for her tuition hence she went before me. Yimin and I went on the same turn. After three minutes, we were told to stop but Yimin kept trying to peek underneath. She didn't finish reading I guess. For the conversation category, everyone expected to be asked about Olympics. However, it turned out to be something about uniformed groups.
很多学生都不喜欢参与制服团体。以你的看法，说出一些原因。
I made up a lot of stuff that were mostly weird. The teacher was the same as last year and she's nice - she's very encouraging. My strangest statement was
“很多家长不鼓励孩子参加制服团体因为他们必须烫很多衣服。制服团体的学生都有很多制服。。。”
Oh well.
English lesson on that day was sort of fun. We had to list out grammatically-sound sentences describing what are the things that annoy us and those don't. Many put people smoking as annoying as the cigarette fumes are suffocating.
I went to the TA after oral as one of the parts of my tablet had been pushed into another compartment. Thank goodness it took only twenty minutes.
Today's lesson was alright. We were given another piece to practise on. I was really distracted by the flickering lights in the room. 'Twas like a solemn version of disco lights.
I shall now proceed onwards - to win the battle against Flash. How I hate creating web pages.

Ignore my previous post if you can. It stinks of disappointment. Blame it on PMS.><
The National Day parade this year was colourful, vibrant - like usual. The stage seemed too big for the performers though. And they made many interesting remixes for the songs too =D
And there was this float item, whereby there were a few people standing on some platform and they were really great dancers.
I can tie my hair now although there are many loose strands. Oh well, I shall be patient.
I must really try to lose weight. I feel fat. And it's not like what I told Jessie the other day. No, it's not PMS. I don't think so.
Just the thought of PBL makes me weep. Flash hates me. In fact, I guess all my group members got so fed-up with me coz I just can't win the war against those stupid buttons and webpage thingies. I'm not being a very good PBL leader. I submitted my PBL CD to Mr Tan two days before he asked the rest to hand in. I had to run after him as Mr Tan didn't hear me. I could finally see an end to the days whereby I have to bring the CD back home and to school again.
Common tests...maybe the analogy of toilet water isn't right. On the other hand, you don't see the importance of toilet water in your everyday life. But without it, you wouldn't be able to live properly. You dislike it and no way there's gonna be a day you wish to touch it. However, you need it. Just like tests : You dread coming into contact with them but it's necessary for the MOE to see if your intelligence is still the usual and if you've been studying properly. Makes sense, no?
I still remember my toothpaste-mass run theory too.

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

I think I should trim my hair soon. Just to trim the sides since they keep dropping down.
I felt like a banana today. I asked Cassy to buy three bigger size blouses from Queensway for me since she lives just opposite the place. Yes, the blouses are BIG =D And the new material is thinner than the old version. Unfortunately, it's really yellow - just like how we were in Secondary 1. And to think I called Deborah's blouse "a bright banana yellow" when she bought her new blouse last term. This must be retribution in a mild form. Oh well, I shall soak my blouses in detergent till they are as pale as my other blouses =]

I kind of wish that I didn't need to perform for National Day celebration so that I can take part in my class fun stuff. Just like last year. This is the first time band, angklung and choir need to take part in this celebration. But that's not for me to say, I guess.
My mum got me 'Wink Up' magazine - the August edition!!! =DDD If you have seen the magazine then you should know why I'm so interested in it.
But I have no time to read 'The Host", "Breaking Dawn", stare at the magazine or even watch "L: Change the WorLd" till common tests are over. D: I need patience and these shall be my motivations.
Another thing to cause me to dwell in despair: Chinese oral is just next Friday. What Chinese oral practices have we done in class with the teacher? NONE. That's enough to throw me down the well of doom. I shall now try to converse fluently in my mother tongue. And read Mandarin newspapers.

painfully beautiful.

The fingers on my left hand feel like they are going to split into two each. Romance De Amour is a beautiful yet painful song to play. The barre chords nearly killed my fingers and I couldn't stretch my fingers across five frets and those five frets were all at the higher end, meaning it's tough to press the strings down. Sure, I can stretch my fingers, but I can't produce the note since I can't even press that string down DDD:
We started on the new course book today and learnt another song. Which is easier than Romance De Amour but my fingers were hurting too much for me to play another barre chord.
About the National Day celebrations, I have no idea how I'm going to memorise ten national songs before Friday. At least I'm proving such great patriotism for my sunny little island here. =]
I stayed back on Friday for nothing. We were going to clear the gowns from the CCA room plus the scores to the Communicative Arts room. Unfortunately, there were literature lessons going on in the Comm Arts room for the Sec4s. It's getting annoying with the number of times we planned to stay back to pack when something just crop up and cause us to go home without doing anything.
Analysing Lady Macbeth's personality is killing me. I hope I will be able to pass Literature...I have no wish to take up pure Geog next year. Sure, I can pass that subject, but most of the time, I have no idea what I'm studying at all...it just isn't my cup of tea. Alas, I have to ace my Lit to get what I want.
There's also Physics...Since Primary five, I can say with much confidence that I dislike learning electricity. I vaguely remember day-dreaming my way through lessons on batteries and stuff. How I got good grades in Science was the fact that I memorised everything I read from the textbooks. I don't think I would be able to do that now though.
On a lighter note;
Due to the insanely humid weather, I'm exerting my utmost tolerance in refusing to cut my hair. Yes, I'm trying hard to keep my hair at a longer length. I don't intend to have it as long as what I had last time though as it was difficult to manage. Geraldine also told me that she wanted to keep her hair now ^^ We shall keep up with our efforts.
Why I want to have longer hair? After seeing my past hair accessories, and after walking countless shops selling such pretty hairbands, scrunchies, ties, ribbons, clips - I got tired of wishing to be able to use them instead of buying and giving them away since I can't use them. Silly as it may seem, it makes sense to me =D
BTW, I saw this really cute toddler at NTUC today. She was so pretty, sweet, wonderfully CUTE. We had a staring contest. I lost though since she can really stare. But she was so cute!!! If I had a sibling, I think I may have a serious complex =/

Chicken pox: Never and hope not to ever get it.
Sore throat: Yes, it happens when I shout at the class. I leave the shouting to Yvonne these days.
Stitches: What kind
Broken nose: Thankfully, no.

Like picnics: Only if the people I'm having a picnic with are worth the sacrifice of meeting bugs and other whatnot.
WHO WAS/WERE THE LAST PERSON/PEOPLE YOU...

Do you like your hand-writing: As long as I can read it. (I know that some can't read it though.)

Whose bed rather than yours would you sleep in: Why would I want to sleep in another's bed? That would be weird.
What colour shirt are you wearing now: White. It's a pristine colour.
Do you sleep with the TV on: Nope, I'm a light sleeper. (I don't mind the TV if I'm overseas or really tired.)
What are you doing right now: Being alive and doing this meme?
Have you ever crawled through a window: I wouldn't want to have a police record.
Can you handle the truth: Truth?
Are you too forgiving: Most say I am but that's because I forget easily. That should count.
Are you closer to your mother or father: MUMMY!!!
Who was the last person you cried in front of: Urgh, that was after Physics. But Rachel and Ching Han were there. I owe them a big thank you.

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.

My throat hurts after yesterday's singing D: It's not the usual sore throat - it feels swollen. Oh well, I just hope that I can sing well on Saturday. I must sing well. =D
Today's rehearsal was much more tiring than last week's. Everyone managed to arrive at the hall after warm-ups on time. Unlike Juniper, who loves the stand so much, I had some difficulties carrying it initially. It feels like I'm carrying weights...

Anyway, Juniper conducted us today. We had to walk in and out as usual, and remain on stand-by outside the hall too. And Ms Ong changed our standing positions today. For the first time, I'm actually the middle. It seemed weird at first, as I'm so used to standing at the side, but it's fine =]
Although the rehearsal ended at four plus, we practised further to touch up on the two songs. Compared to normal choir practices, at least we could go at five-thirty instead =DDD
I think I'm going to flunk my English and Chinese Language class test. The theme for the narrative essay was unexpected. My essay was just filled with crap. For the second test, it was just a plain disaster. I did not understand anything from the question paper and I was really sleepy then. My handwriting was illegible too and my correction tape was used up. I'd even cancelled one whole question and re-wrote it at a teensy corner. Let's hope I wouldn't get penalised for that. For the cloze passage, it was totally beyond my humble comprehension. It just seemed to be a jumble of Chinese characters to me. Sure, it was an article, but due to the "chim-alogy" or maybe I really am too dumb, I really couldn't get what the whole paper was about. Yes, I know I AM dumb. It's just that I feel extremely stupid now. Bleh, it's going to be awful when I get back the two papers. There's also the Literature test tomorrow and Math plus Physics tests on the day after. Is there such a term called 'Triple Doom"?

After a fortnight

Although it was a Wednesday, I had to stay back mainly for the Speech Day rehearsal. There were many problems and most of the time, the choir was left alone onstage. Teryne and I felt like BBQ-ed pork - those that they sell at discounted prices during CNY and the shops will have some reddish light shining onto them. Yeah, there were red spotlights on us. Diu Diu Dang a was sung well on that day if I remember correctly, although we didn't sing that during the rehearsal.
There was also English oral yesterday. Our class got Mr Ravi as the examiner. I'm not sure if I will fare well for this exam as he didn't show any indication whatsoever. Reading was okay, but the Picture Discussion part was quite horrible. The photograph featured was about a few teenage boys accompanying young toddlers on floats in a swimming pool. All of them were males. I interpret it as: It is a collaboration between the NS guys and some Kindergarden school. This was partly because the reading passage was on NS Navy, and all the guys didn't look above 20. All of them had shaved heads too. So it should be okay if I said that right? Unlike others, he only asked me one question excluding "what do you think is happening in this picture". He asked, "What is the likelihood of something happening?". I was answering halfway when I forgot the question. That was when I stopped suddenly and asked, "Again?". I think he got irritated and he repeated his question. Hope I will manage to do well for this exam somehow.
My friend got into VJIP. Well, lots of people are applying for IP now. Let's just say, I decided not to try out for this IP thing as my grades are not good enough. Plus, I have already decided to stick to Crescent for four years and not two. Third reason would be that I know I will die from the workload in IP. Plain ol' me will always know what are my limits =]
But I kinda admire those who got in or are already in this programme. It just shows that they are really really really smart and they work fast. =O

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.

People who know their dream and what they want to be or achieve in the future are truly admirable in my view. They have already gotten this resolution and will set out to achieve it. The feeling of knowing just what you are going to get is definitely better than just ambling along life's paths, wondering what is in for you next. They say that the teenage years are the rebellious part of a person's life. What they left out in the saying is that the teenage years is when someone actually carves out their ideals and learns the ways of the world. True, many would agree that when you retire from your job and slowly age, you will definitely realised that your perspective of the world will greatly differ from what you had expected and thought of it when you are just an ignorant teenager. But the things that you were influenced by through the environment you were in when young has proven to be a huge impact on your personality and thinking. Does that mean that the choices made when you were a teenager would also affect what you will be in the future? These thoughts would swim around my head when people talk about how far they have gone in their life, their career paths, their families, and how much has changed since they were my age.
Maybe it's just normal to feel insecure at my young age. But what about friends who have already decided to be doctors, mothers, lawyers, and even where they want to work in? When I hear people talking about what they want for their career, I get this scary feeling. How do people have ambitions? How do they find their life's true calling? Even if they do have ambitions, how do they get the confidence and courage to be able to take pride in it and know that they will not fail their own expectations?
Last Saturday, I went with my mum to Auntie Shirlene's house. The adults were discussing their own topics as usual and suddenly, the topic of my school life was brought up. Questions about what subjects I am intending to take started to pop up. I was then suddenly struck by how aimless my life was. In my life so far, I had never really taken the idea of 'long-term' planning seriously. To me, I never really wanted something very badly - unless you count the times whereby I desperately didn't want to fail a subject or be embarrassed. Even getting into my school was quite a spur of moment decision (I changed my first choice the last minute). As my answers to the well-meaning questions asked by the adults were inadequate, I guess, they just got kinda concerned for me. Advice and stuff about how the subjects you choose would affect your career prospects next time got me worried then. Who knows, maybe most teenagers feel the same way as me.
Tomorrow will be the overdue farewell party for Ms Tham and Mr Albert Tay. I wonder what song are we expected to perform tomorrow. I got a bad feeling about singing Alleluia and Mighty Wonder though. I really hope my premonition will not be worth caring in the end.

This year's class outing was quite a success - fortunately. The only thing was that many cancelled on us (some with the strangest excuse).
.jpg)
This is of course, by me too. =]
From Tampines to Harbourfront, each time I end a call, another would come in - and that's excluding the text messages. That was why I was not reading any sign or looking carefully when I stepped out of the ticketing barrier. I just got swept along with the usual morning working adults who were striding to their workplace. And clever me just followed like a lost lamb and ended up in Harbourfront centre without knowing and even followed some tourist to some lobby and then to some taxi / cruise thingy. I was shocked to see so many tourists all lined up. And I had to call Ching Han to ask where on earth I am. Yeah, I didn't take notice of my surroundings. So, Ching Han said that I was in Harbourfront Centre (I haven't been there since Primary five), and I had to walk back to the station and walk into a different opening to get to Vivo.
We got to Palawan beach without any problem and met up with the rest of the organising committee there. While sitting on the Andro's canvas with Ziyu (keeping an eye on the water bombs as well), this boy came over and did the "Chicken Dance" right in front of us. I think he was playing truth or dare with his group of friends. It was quite funny. Oh yeah, I wrote a message on the sand there:
The "& TESSA" part was not done by me. After seeing my "I love myself" message, Tessa Sim decided to add that last caption underneath. A tourist saw my message and said, "I love myself? How nice." LOL. Some scribbled that they love their idols - like Sihui...who wrote Miyavi and reita -.-
.jpg)
This is of course, by me too. =]Anyway, we climbed to the side of the bridge nearby and most of us took photos like that. I didn't take part in the first few games as I went with Tessa S and Jessie to collect lunch from the station. We discussed on Jessie's "special flavours" that she added to the food. And I will not reveal Tessa S's secret - she did something on her way back. We came back and I went to play in the game they were playing then. XinYi's water bomb got my shorts completely wet. Lunch was a very casual affair and all of us just stuck around to eat and drink. Since there were extras, some wanted to have seconds. Deborah let me have two bites of the cheeseburger - which was stuck onto my teeth and Deb had to pull it out.
The pail balancing game was fun. My team was the best! We managed to balance the pail even with water being poured on us. The only disadvantage of the game was that our whole body will be wet and sandy - a gross combination. Oh yeah, the other team's balancing skills were pathetic XD And after that game, it was random water bombs. I just realised that it hurts big time when someone throws a water bomb at you nearby. We had to clean up the mess afterwards.
Ziyu, Krystal, Andro, Evangeline and I were the first few who went to the shower to clean up. Unlike the others, Evange and I chose to shower in the open shower at the back. Of course, we wore our clothes while showering. We dried and changed in the empty cubicles next to it. Ziyu joined us at the shower thingy too. Oh, and there was a banana peel stuck onto the door of my cubicle. Jessie thinks that a monkey must have been inside to shower too.
It was quite boring after that and we just cleaned up, wait for some missing people, pack up and go. I waited for SiHui to blow-dry her shorts first. Then to Vivo we went!
We fooled around at the Toys R Us.
Deborah and I. The hats were too small for our heads actually. I think the hats were meant for 3-year-olds.
We went to Burger King to eat after that as most of us were starving and went on to the children outdoor play area nearby. That was when Sarah discovered that she had lost her phone. Deborah and Yvonne then searched through the dustbins and the play area while I searched the bags. And the dustbins were foul. Really. FYI, Sarah's handphone was not found. Tessa S joined us at Burger King while Pamela left for her tuition. Sihui and Andro left us long before that for their quest for the blu-tack.
All of us went up and played at the Sky Park water area. Yvonne and Deb were throwing slippers. We proved that my pair of slippers are the most buoyant too.
We walked around the shops after getting bored by the water. And Tessa S bought A LOT of things. Well, at least she was the only one buying. Then somehow we got to the subject of what will we wear on prom night. Yvonne was saying she will be wearing a tuxedo and she will never wear a dress. Oh and talking about dress, there was this bridal gown display and the gowns were awesome. And back to the subject. Seeing that there are still two more years to prom night, we still have plenty of time to decide what to wear anyway. And I think gowns are pretty actually ^^

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 dust

the dust that was bitten.
I really admire people who still pursue what they hope for relentlessly even after being rejected countless times. It's the feeling of hurtful disappointment and insecurity that cause the different reactions of humans - even other animals I suppose. One may say those emotions will just give them the kick in the butt to do better the next time. Maybe the setback will just create a pit of quicksand brimming with despair and sink the victim like snakes twining around. Or maybe it will just be a 'once bitten, twice shy' situation whereby a seagull will take extra care not to fly into another glass panel. I think the scariest scenario is the second. The snakes and quicksand are quiet creatures that will just ensnare you into their own delusions before you realise it and they may never let go. Who knows.
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.

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:
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
