Panorama was fun!
from a performer's point of view.
took loads of pics.
uploading soon.

studies:
managed to pass one chem test this year so far.

It's a huge achievement for me.
Or it simply proves that I can't do organic chem...
grades slipping.

sian...

that's all for now.

J2 collecting MT results tomorrow.
I'll be the only J2 left in choir room.
And i have to lead warm ups on my own.

Looking forward to eating at pasta mania 2mr with muni, sam and em.

haiz...

piano exam coming soon.

2009-02-23T20:49:00.002+08:00

For Muni's benefit: I've Blogged!!!

haha... i shall 'seriously' blog another time. Maybe tomorrow.
Because I'm currently short of time.
Gotta write notes for econs test with my famously small handwriting and squeeze all info on one sheet of paper.
Challenging.
So tata for now.
Be back soon.
I promise.
Note that the definition of 'soon' varies from one person to another.
LOL

2008-12-25T23:15:00.002+08:00

MERRY X'MAS!!!

had the last caroling session yesterday.
All TPJC ppl.
Cass, shuling and Jonathon came to watch then we went to mos burger to eat... again.
they went orchard after that while i went home with ming en and wan ling.
wanted to go for the allience bbq but it was too late...
saw charmaine, odelia, isaac and rebecca near the bus stop anyway.
As expected, i forgot to take the cardigan from yvonne.
so have to meet her tomorrow.

the day before...
went bugis to eat steamboat buffet with 4G'07 ppl.
ate till my stomach almost exploded...
it was mostly seaweed chicken in tom yam base soup.
so actually my voice condition was much better than expected. lol.
before that, went to bugis junction with gang for lunch at V8 and watch twilight
seriously chose the wrong movie. It was more like a comedy.
All of us laughed every time a particular person came on screen.
won't say who. haha
but i enjoyed the time with the gang.
missed them so much.
and we had so much fun with julia's cam.

Thanks to the ppl who put in so much effort to make or get me a x'mas present.
and those who wished me a merry x'mas.
A very merry x'mas to u too!
so sry i couldn't reply u all cause my sms over limit already.

spent the whole x'mas day watching movies.
and chopping the lettuce for tomorrow's cell party.
hope it goes well 2mr.
that's all for now.

2008-11-30T21:45:00.002+08:00

another week coming to a close.
another month coming to a close.
all too soon.

Apparently, i overestimated my determination and sense of responsibility.
The noble plans of studying all went down the drain.
Since when have i became so lazy???
I will somehow find an excuse not to study every time i should.
and time is running short.
not looking forward to next year.

Realised that i am seeing a lot of the choir ppl lately.
especially the choir comm.
It's due to the numerous practices and events that occurred.
For example, i saw some of them on mon, thurs, fri, sat.
And that's because i didn't go for the tues meeting.
next week's gonna be much much more.

Not really looking forward to WCYF next week.
it's mon-thurs, 9am-5pm
at CCAB. which is somewhere in newton i think.
so i have to wake up at 6 plus every morning.
It's like going to sch! or rather a sch for singing.
So i'm gonna see the comm every day, because only the comm is going.
It's not a bad thing though, at least we can treat it as a comm bonding session...
who am i kidding? we have much better bonding sessions... like the 'debrief' session after farewell.
haha. It was super fun and funny.

Farewell went quite well, considering that it was such a last minute thing.
We only knew the week before that we have to do it this week as the J2 guys have to go to army.
well, we enjoyed ourselves and i seriously hope the seniors did too.
i wonder who's holding on to all the photos...
Although i enjoyed farewell, i'm glad it's over.
planning the event is stressful and busy.
I'm not gonna complain about 1 less thing to stress about in my life.
next is orientation.
Luckily i can forget about that for a while.
not really looking forward to auditioning the J1s...

still have heaps of homework to do
and caroling accessories to buy
and so many more choir pracs
and numerous WYCF performances
and church camp
and start of year exam to studey for.
Not a good pile of things to do..
but i'll work on it.
tata for now.
hope i'll survive till next sun to blog again.
or even better, i'll find time and energy to blog halfway through the week.
bye~

Hmmm... busy busy busy

very tired so will just update on Bintan.

the easiest way out: just post my reflection of the trip here.

Bintan Trip Reflection

I was looking forward to this trip since i signed up. In the beginning, i thought this trip would be physically draining as it was meant for students in sports CCA. However, to my relief, it was not very taxing physically, though it did get very dirty and uncomfortable at times.
The journey to Bintan was uneventful. My only complain is that my bag was stuffed to the brim -- with food. Okay, i may be exaggerating, but i had the notion of having not enough to eat on this trip. Luckily for me, this notion is not true. Unfortunately for me, i had to bring all the food back as i could not finish all of it. Also, i reckon that i gained quite a few pounds after this trip. The food there is simply irresistable! With all the seafood and fresh vegetables, it was mouth-watering (this is a huge compliment coming from a person who doesn't like seafood).
Other than the food, i absolutely enjoyed the accomodation there except for the first night whereby we slept in tents without even bathing. Also, the trips to the local schools were an eye-opener. I gained a huge sense of satisfaction seeing the smiles on the cute faces of the children there. It seems like a long time whereby i see children happy at the sight of balloons, biscuits and titbits. They treasure our everyday food. It makes me feel lucky for my lifestyle. I remember one afternoon whereby we sat near a charcoal factory eating our lunch. The village children were playing around us. By offering them a small portion of our lunch, we got a huge smile in return. It seems like a worthwhile trade to me. Also, the mangrove reforestation was not as horrible as i thought it would be. At least the hight of the mud did not reach my knees.
Now, to the portion of the journey which i did not enjoy as much. The mosquitoes and sand flies there were unbelievably irritating. Not to mention the cockroaches. I wonder if i could have survived without my mosquito repellants. Not forgetting the 'toilet' --which i merely a hole-- on our first night at the island. It stinks, literally. To make it worse, we had to take turns to cover the toilet with sand before we left the island. Well, there has to be a first time in everything.
Also, i absolutely loathe the feeling of wearing wet socks and shoes. To my horror, my feet were in this situation for at least half the jouney. Well, i guess there is always a flipside to enjoyable events. Not forgetting the journey back to Singapore. It was horible. The boat almost did not stop rocking. Moreover, I sat at the top deck, which makes the rocking seem like viking rides. To be optimistic, at least now i know that my motion sickness problem is not as bad as i thought. At least I did not vomit.
Finally, back in Singapore. Although i did not enjoy the whole experience in Bintan, I would not trade it for another.

I know the ending quite cliche... but i too tired to think...

haha.

here's the pics for bintan trip.

(the toilet)

2008-10-10T17:07:00.002+08:00

wow.
internet breakdown. That's why so long didn't update blog.
So now have to make do with the wireless at Community Centre.

Promos are over!!!
and i'm officially J2 next year!!!
did not so well for promos but average for the overall.
so i'm happy enough.
i shall post my overall results as the promos ones are a little too disappointing.
Bio--A
Math--A
Econs--B
Chem--D
GP--D
at least i passed all subjects...
considering chem tuition for next year.

Enough of results.
CCA.
I'm now the section leader of altos!!!
stress.
haha.

fell down on thurs during PE and hurt my knee.
This is the most major fall that i had since kindergarden.
lesson learnt: never play soccer at a hockey pitch

this holiday is gonna be busy.
have OP, bio olympiad, maybe bintan trip, choral festival, maybe my family going overseas. not forgetting additional lessons.
It's gonna be hectic.

don't have much time. update again next time. I think it'll be quite long before i blog again. byebye~

2008-09-06T22:26:00.002+08:00

quick update.
actually there's nothing to update about.
since currently my life's not that interesting.
the only thing to take note is:
PROMOs IS IN 2 DAYS TIME!!!

where have the time gone?
there's already so little time to study and yet i can't seem to make myself study.
too lazy.
and the tv addiction is bothering me.
leaving me even less time to study (if i actually come down to studying in the first place).
will not bore u all with my boring life.
can't wait till 15 sep.
gonna play and play.

only activity worth mentioning is teacher's day.
JC ended late so by the time i went back to ahs, the teachers have all gone for teachers' lunch.
so i met xinni and rach at tanah merah.
went to bugis.
apparently both xinni and i have a weak bladder. haha.. joking joking...
went walk walk and took neoprints.
too long ddn't take liao. my designing/decorating skills deteriorated. made some pics look ugly.
note: it's the pics that are ugly, not the people in the pics. haha
left around 3 plus and went to tm to meet cz ppl.
i thought it was supposed to be a class gathering but only a few showed up.
haha. nvm. had fun anyway.
realised that all of us liked to stand in the middle of nowhere to talk.
happened numerous times. haha.
couldn't decide what to do so we went to watch Wall-E.
not bad, considering it's not really my type of movie. haha
great day. met up with JC, sec sch and pri sch friends.
glad to keep in touch.

just gonna end here.
not gonna post during exam period.
9 more days to go!!!
(ppl countdown to exams. I countdown to the END of exams)

2008-08-16T19:58:00.002+08:00

3 more weeks to promos!!!
(the exclamation marks represent shock and not excitement)

time flies.
only sept 'holidays' study break to really study.
one week study break is seriously not enough.
but at least we will end promos early. Then can go play =)

sam and i talked alot about what we're going to do after promos.
Dunno if we can really play that hard due to budget constraint.
realised that entertainment cost loads in Singapore...
must dos: go Kbox, watch movies, go shopping, and so on and so forth...

Muni, Em and Sam say that they're going to take me to far east plaza after promos since i've never been there before.
Looking forward to it.
haven't gone shopping for a long long time.

Movies-wise, Muni and i have same interests while sam and Em prefer the same movies.
but we don't mind compramising to watch a movie together.
But i must stick to my stand.
NO horror movies.
I don't really enjoy nightmares or scaring myself.

Went to pizza hut for lunch on fri with sam and Muni.
because we have a 3hr long break before GP test.
the test ended at 5 plus. super tired.
why can't they put it on other days intead of fri?
wasted 3hrs. But it was a great bonding session for us.
Em and Mary can't join because they have chinese test before the GP test.
cannot make it back on time.
Really happy that i took higher chi last time.
so now dun need to take. =)

Beijing Olympics.
everyone is watching.
on thurs, during one of our breaks, muni, em, sam and i were at the cafe watching olympics.
so were many other students. It was crowded. ppl were sitting on the steps, at tables and standing aroud.
Luckily we got a good seat. The 'second floor one'. haha...
so we can see over the heads of the ppl standing.
Guess what event was on?

swimming.
As everyone knows, a super pro guy has won many gold medals already.
and he was competing in that swimming event.
It was a mixture of 4 different swimming styles i think...
cannot really remember.
Really good competition.
He won, as expected.
and everyone in the cafe cheered super loud.
guess he has many fans already.
then the TV suddenly changed to a powerpoint slide that says something about study hard now and we will not regret the results later.
everyonr boo-ed.
haha... funny...

but at least the next day, teachers explained that they changed the channel because it's getting too noisy.
there were people studying.
i guess that's a valid reason.
now they are till playing olympics on the sch TVs around sch.
many ppl stayed back after GP test on fri to watch the table tennis match in which Singapore later won.
Zul said that he heard cheers when he walked out of the sch gate so he knew that Singapore won.
lol.

So the prelims have started for the JC2s
i didn't even know until i saw the 'silent' signs as i went to class on fri.
anyway, good luck to all seniors.
and good luck to all JC1s for their promos which is coming at a faster rate than expected.
the clock is ticking!

2008-08-08T23:35:00.003+08:00

finally! a 4 day break.

been looking forward to this time...

but of course, this also means that promos is coming.

sam told me that our dance video is on youtube.

went to see.

Luckily it's too far to see our faces.

haha..

nothing interesting...

realised i still haven't posted the dancefest pics.

here they come!
(i didn't post the unglam ones... haha... later the others whack me... lol)

2008-07-27T21:13:00.002+08:00

i dunno why... but i found last week quite fun.
maybe it's because of the absence of tests and exams.
and with it, the absence of stress.
anyhow, it's been a great week.

went studying with christina at cc this afternoon.
quite productive.
at least better than me staying at home and not doing anything.
think i will do this every week.
forces me to study.

spent loads of time on pw.
hope it's okay.
at least it's ending soon.

think i have chem spa trial tomorrow.
then there's the many upcoming tests.
can feel my relaxation fade away.
why can't they give us study break???
I think i'll do much better then.

too lazy to type further.
don't have much to say anyway.

2008-07-19T23:24:00.002+08:00

YAY!!!!
dancefest is over!!!
had so much fun.
hoped the others felt that way too...
didn't feel nervous but i think i felt a little pressured to perform well.
cause i was really really happy when it ended.
maybe it's all the practices taking it's toll on me. haha...
anyway... I'm estatic that i have one less thing to stress about.
to be honest, the only thing i feared was to embarrass myself.
I THINK, i HOPE, i wish i didn't... haha...
but i felt i did okay.
and to our group, this competition was more like gaining experience and for the fun of it.
so our results didn't really matter to us. lol.

In the waiting room, sam, mary, muni and i had nothing to do...
so we talked, crapped, and took pics.
our own bonding time. lol.
We all felt so childish compared to the other groups.
They had hair spray, thick make-up, nice clothes while we didn't do anything to our hair, put basic make-up, and wore whatever clothes we had.
lol.
the 4 of us felt so noob because while we were in the toilet, the people from the other groups already had their make-up on and were just perfectng it.
then we all of us ( except muni ) were at one side of the mirror figuring out how to put eyeliner.
LOL. In the end muni had to help us. So i learned how to put eyeliner yesterday. Quite an accomplishment. haha...
Thx so much to muni, our 'make-up artist' without whom we will look like ghosts on stage.

I would like to say thx to POPPETTES!!!
haha... we've done ourselves proud.
WELL DONE!
thx for all the hard work and late hours put in. We really deserve the fun and laughter we had together on stage.
It was a valuble experience and i really thank maddie, mary, em, sam and muni for giving your all.

Also, thx Xinni for remembering! =)
haha... and thx for the messages of encouragement.
your support is greatly appreciated. hope to see u again soon. lovesssss!!!
not forgetting all those people who came to show their support.
I saw many familiar faces out there ( some really unexpected ones ) but all in all, thx for coming!!!

and finally,
CONGRATULATIONS
to both the winning team and the runner-up.
both of the groups were really very good.
well done. =)

Hmm.. the many pics (some unglam ones) will be up later.
i think there'll be loads.
haha. I won't forget all the fun and laughter.

That was last night.
Had choir prac this morning.
I think i disgraced myself in front of the new conductor.
lol
we auditioned in the morning with no warm-ups.
and my throat wasn't feeling that well because of the shouting during dancefest.
so my pitch went totally out. many times. I know it.
but i realised some other mistake she mentioned that i never knew i had.
should try and improve.

Had 'meet the parents' session in the afternoon to collect report slip.
both my parents went.
saw GP, Math and Bio teachers. All said i was very quiet in class.
so from now on i'll make more noise. haha. ppl beware! lol.
results generally okay. All said i can improve and do better.
but easier said than done.
i'll try.

So now i should start preparing for promos.
It's coming really soon.
hope i'll score well.
but i just dun have the mood to study.
didn't touch my books today at all.
Let's see about tomorrow.
I predict the same cause i feel my throat starting to hurt.
I knew i should not have eaten at macdonalds for lunch and supper yesterday and lunch again today.
and i should have forgone that bag of potato chips just now.
I think i'll have to face the consequences tomorrow.
ouch.

2008-07-14T17:54:00.002+08:00

back to the busy time....
can't wait for this week to be over.
econs test this thurs.
can't remember some things.
can't even understand the others.
lol.
have a bad feeling about this.

just realised we must hand in written report for PW this fri.
and we haven't even touched on EoM.
can't understand what that person is saying.
why are we that unlucky???
stressed out.
again.

dancefest this fri night.
FINALLY
quite glad it will be over soon.
because i think i spending to much time on it.
but it's okay.
cause i think we're doing really really well.
just hope the ppl will like it.
now the problem is the costume.
think until my brain wanna explode... lol

sat got meet the parents session.
we must go along also.
go sch for 10mins.
just to collect result slip for mid-years.
waste time.
then have to miss cell because of this...

lost my motivation for studying...
not that i had it in the first place... lol
musn't be too complacent.
must work hard.
easier said than done.

hope some things will end soon while others go on.

2008-07-08T21:32:00.002+08:00

Hmm... super long never post again.
latest update: results
I dunno what to think of it though...
It may seem pretty bad, but considering the circumstances, i think i did okay.
got loads to improve of course.

optimistic point of view:
Bio--C
Chem--C
Math--B
Econs--B
GP--E

here comes the bombshell:
Bio--1 more mark to B
Chem--1.5 more marks to B
Math--2 more marks to A
Econs--2 more marks to A
GP--1.5 more marks to D

Well.. i guess i should be happy that i passed all my subjects.
hope i can keep this up though.
But i can't forgive myself for all the careless mistakes that i've done.
it's even worse than normal.
i lost 14 marks because of careless mistakes for math.
then there's still the careless mistakes for chem and bio.
what was i thinking!?!?!?!

Oh... should learn how to be contented i guess...
went out for lunch with Xinni and Belinda on youth day.
treasuring the youth part... haha.
went to pizza hut. talked and caught up with each other.
i really really miss talking and crapping with u guys...

dancefest run through tomorrow.
dunno what to think.
i'm just so tired right now.
just hope we can do well.
dancefest coming soon.
tickets selling now.
I think i'll embarass myself.

it's weird.
i'm feeling very very very stressed right now.
promo is term 4 wk 1.
very fast.
so many more chapters.
so little time left to study.
i'm feeling more stressed than before mid-years.
i dun wanna retain.
i wanna score well.
is it too much to ask?

finding it more and more difficult to cope.
my brain seem not to be able to absorb anything.
especially econs.
have to memorise so much.
and i completely forgot all that i've studied for mid-years.
that's how bad my memory is.

wonder if i can keep up.
or even maintain my standard.
I'll try.
I'll try really really hard.
just hope i have the energy to sustain through it all.
Through God's grace, i will.

2008-06-29T21:12:00.002+08:00

so...
school officially starts tomorrow.
last week doesn't count as i only spent 3 days in school for exams.
and an average of 2 hrs each day.

not looking forward.
because:
-will be getting back results (and i'm pretty sure how badly i'll score)
-have to start studying again.
-have to spend more time in sch and less time at home.
-tests will bound to start soon
-schedule will be tight again.

needless to say, math, bio and chem papers were terrible.
in increasing order of difficulty.
but then, nothing's easy these days right?

didn't have sch on fri so i went to IKEA with mum to walk walk.
saw jodie, camalyn, grace, jia yi, lucienne and the rest i dunno who.
think they come out class outing after sch.
talk talk a little then had to go.
to camalyn: hey gurl! pls study so that u don't need to do what u did for bio section c!!!
to the rest of the ppl: work hard and don't give up! I know the paper's tough, but u all can do it!

met xinni at the mrt station that evening.
cause she wanted to return me my hairbands.
miss talking to u guys!
talked halfway then saw jessica.
so she joined in the conversation.
then later shaun walked past too.
so our 2 ppl meeting became 4 ppl gathering.
haha...
miss ahs ppl.
oh! and rachel, u still have my shirt! haha

xinni and i wanted to organise gang gathering during youth day...
but come to think of it, do we have a holiday?
no one knows anything about it.
then the gang all in diff schools, i think the schedules will clash...
haiz... nvm, we'll plan when it comes.

met hwee kay before service to talk talk a while.
catch up with each other.
she's super busy... so must find time to talk before sch officially starts.
enjoyed the conversation.
a little like the old days, except that now we're talking about our own JCs instead of same sec sch.
lol
we've all became busy ppl.

full sch day starts tomorrow.
so i guess the days camping in front of the TV are over.
my TV schedule for the sch days read:
Mon: -so you think you can dance
-when rules turn loose
Tue: -the suite life of Zack and Cody
-when rules turn loose
Wed: -the suite life of Zack and Cody
-when rules turn loose
Thu: -the suite life of Zack and Cody
-one million star 2
-when rules turn loose
Fri: -when rules turn loose
Sat: -stay home sat movies
Sun: watch whenever i have time =)

I MISS MY TV!!!

2008-06-18T13:45:00.002+08:00

Hmmm....
I guess you can figure out the trend in my number of posts.
It's not that i dun have time...
okay okay.. that's part of the reason.
but i feel that recently my laziness has crept back to me...
it's not good.

The rate in which i complete things is decreasing.
(except of the number of hours i spend glued to the TV screen)
no matter studies or even the number of time i go out.
it seems that i would rather say home and do some unproductive stuff.

went out with the gang on fri the 13th...
LOL
sat and talked... quite like the old times.
realised that their feelings are similar to mine.
miss u all!
but unfortunately rach wasn't present.
must take care k?
loads of ppl falling sick now...

feeling the stress.
exams next week.
have not finished studying.
coupled with the stress from pw.
rushing to meet deadlines.
still have dancefest.
haven't practiced for more than 2 weeks now...
dunno if it'll work.
it seems lacking of energy.

that's why i like watchingTV and reading fiction so much.
it seems like u can lose yourself in the other world and forget all the stress around you.
It is during these times whereby i feel happy and comfortable.
i feel what the characters feel and forget all my troubles.

recent getaways:
-the game plan : super nice show! ( to Xinni: this is the show i would watch twice continuously )
-August Rush : super inspirational... a must watch!
-Jumper : Hmmm... not bad. great effects
-I am legend : watching it a second time isn't as scary as the first...
-so you think you can dance : lol... i'm a loyal fan... have been catching it since the first season.
-channel U show at 10pm. (forgot the title) : I love hong kong shows!!!
-wheel of fortune : it's fun and educational
-the price is right : dunno why i watch this... i like to see ppl happy i guess...
-all the random shows i watch mostly on channel 5 or travel and living...

hmm... quite a lot right? haha... didn't go to the movies recently cause not many nice shows to watch... so rented movies to watch at home =)

getaways (in more traditional forms) -- books --
-the ninja series : third time reading
-harry potter series : fifth time reading i think... kinda lost count
-many others

didn't get to read as much cause my parents complain that i spend more time reading fiction than studying...

these activities with dance lessons and pracs, tennis sessions, piano lessons and pracs, sleeping sessions, slacking sessions... it's no wonder i dun have time and energy to study...
haha.. actually it's all excuses...
I should have completed my revision much earlier...

*stay happy and stress-free*

2008-06-04T18:11:00.002+08:00

oops... haven't been blogging for so long.
the first week of holidays were NOT holidays at all...
went back for lessons every single weekday.
but no complains... it's for our own good...
or so they say.

additional dance prac...
will increase even more when dancefest approaches.
getting stressed.
with cheorographing and synchronising the movements...
not an easy job, i tell u...
now i can understand dance teachers' feelings.
but if the product is good, it'll be worth the effort... IF...
but i must say, we're progressing quite well.
continue to work hard ppl!
let's shine on stage!

had pae class outing yesterday...
supposed to meet at 11am. reached at 11.20...
only a few ppl reached.
waited for the rest till 12 plus.
christina super pro... i told her the day before that i'll be late because i have piano lesson.
in the end, when i reached the meeting place, she wasn't there yet...
lol...

we bought food and drinks, getting all ready for the picnic and guess what?
IT RAINED
the last few days were super hot and sunny...
and it had to rain yesterday...
nice.
rain stopped and we went to pasir ris park to picnic
chatted, slacked, catch up with ppl...
wanted to cycle but it started drizzling again.
so we went to E-hub to bowl...
the queue was super long so in the end we went to christina's house.
LOL
it seems like all pae class outings will end up at her house...
so maybe we should just go there next time...
saves the time planning on where to go... haha

had to leave at around 5 to go back sch for dance prac.
danced till 8pm.
didn't have enough energy cause the only food i ate was my breakfast and 1 fishball and hotdogs (without bread... suprised??)
haha...
managed to survive without my daily staple... not bad.. haha...

jodie and christina came over to my house to study today...
quite productive...
i think they think so too cause they coming over tomorrow to study as well... haha...
gotta wake up early for piano lesson tomorrow...
meeting rachel to pass her a shirt...
then coming home to study again.

enjoyed xinni's concert yesterday night...

after cell, hwee kay and i went to parkway to meet rachel and julia.

went to minitoons and got orange for xinni.

don't get me wrong... not orange as in the fruit...

orange is this cute bulldog soft toy.

quote from julia: "he's so ugly that he's so cute!"

haha.... but the name 'orange' was super random...

hope xinni likes him (wait... or is he a her!?!?!)... lol

sounds wrong.

enjoyed meeting the gang again.

i'm so so sorry that i cannot stay for supper...

i'll make up for it on our next meeting.

pls MAKE SURE u all keep 13 june free.

can't wait to see u all again...

revive the spirit of the old days... haha

here's the pics that we took after the choir concert

here's pics of 08S08

2008-05-23T22:18:00.002+08:00

YAY!!!
2 papers over!
3 more to go!
feel like celebrating already...
haha.

can't say that i have confidence for both the papers today..
was half asleep for GP paper 2 and econs.
they shouldn't put both papers on the same day...
wrote untill hand cramp.
crapped a lot as usual...
not sure if it's answering the questions...
honestly, i don't really want to care about it now...
should just focus on the rest of the exams.

decided to give myself a break till the coming mon.
then i start mugging again.
sian.. don't even know if it will be effective in producing results...

have to go back to school every day next week.
so i'm practically left with 3 weeks of holidays.
not looking good.
i wanna have my play time too!!!

looking forward to Xinni's concert tomorrow.
then can meet up with the gang again...
can't wait for 13th june...

I will be going for the kidsread programme tomorrow...
after missing it for so long because of choir pracs...
kinda miss the kids.
hope to enjoy tomorrow.

just saw photoshare...
lol... concert pics super funny...
laughing away... haha...
especially the two joels...
jokers... haha

no choir prac until exams are over...
dunno to feel happy or sad... lol
kinda miss the ppl already...

we can do it!!!

2008-05-20T21:23:00.007+08:00

now that it's over, i kind of regret it...

it was super fun...

worth all the hard work that all of us have put in.

my heartfelt thanks to every single member of the choir.

this concert would not be the same with even one member missing...

so THANK YOU!

took loads of pics...

all of us were rushing to take pics during intervals and before performance.

super funny..

most will be uploaded when i get them.. lol

thanks to xinni, julia and hwee kay for the flowers!

enjoyed our talk during the trip back.

2008-05-18T23:23:00.002+08:00

so that all our efforts won't be wasted.

practiced a lot.

sun from 2pm to 4pm.
tomorrow's the real thing!

To all the people coming to support us:

suddenly realised i had a lot of work to catch up on...
AND mid-year is starting this coming fri...
bet loads of people studying during the weekend.
haiz... have a lot to catch up on...

wish me luck for my concert!
and i seriously hope i will not do the cheorography wrongly...
best of luck!

2008-05-15T21:44:00.002+08:00

haiz... pissed with myself...
no matter how hard i study, the results are still the same...
huge disappointment.

feeling stressed from cca already...
can't seem to remember the songs and my throat is having problems again...
hope it clears up before the concert.

not feeling very well...
think i'm falling sick...
then the mid-years start next fri...
and i haven't started studying for it yet...
i'm soooooo dead.

2008-05-10T22:44:00.007+08:00

hmmm.... nothing much to post...

had choir from 9am to 5pm today...

quite productive, i must say...

at least can memorise a few songs.

yesterday they told me i only had to mark attendance today... no need to teach...

then this morning i had to lead warm ups and revision of a song...

didn't expect it...

first time leading...

suppose i did quite badly...

embarrasing...
haha...

or maybe it's just me.

emerlyn coming over tomorrow morning to settle some dance stuff...

hope it'll be productive...

and i seriously don't wanna be leader...

kena sabo...

here's the sports day pics that i mentioned so long ago...

still haven't got all though...

08S08

the runners

Christina and i

samantha, me, amelia

still got more pics with Marilyn...

will upload after i get it from her.

that's all for now!

2008-05-09T22:17:00.003+08:00

felt guilty for neglecting this blog...
keep telling myself to update but can't seem to find the time...

kk... today is a typical friday...
sch, cca then come home.
went to bugis to buy concert clothing before cca...
so travelled from sch to bugis, shopped and travelled from bugis back to sch in 3hrs...
not bad... haha
rushed to meet Xinni to settle ticket stuff after cca...
will be going to her HO concert.

seriously need to settle all ticket matters...
can the people who wanna go please tell me and pay me the money asap???
oh... and now we're only selling $20 and $25 tickets.

want to thank xinni, julia, hwee kay, sam, madeline and marilyn for their support.
you guys rawk!!!

haha... 08S08 girls are taking part in dancefest!!!
ok... some of us...
took the form today... wonder how it'll be like...
new experience...
9 ppl: maddie, mary, maggi, sam, emerlyn, munirah, dina, hammie, and i
lets work hard ppl! and choreograph something exceptional!

my brain wasn't functioning that well during chem faculty test on tues...
not suprising since it's like 5.20-6.20pm and i had lessons till 5pm...
couldn't think properly.. so doubt i'll like the results of that test...
math faculty test on thurs was not much better...
and i failed my econs faculty test... by 1 mark...
sian...

cca again tomorrow... and i think it'll last pretty long...
drained...
hope the concert will be a success.
Then at least it'll be worth it.

2008-05-05T21:09:00.001+08:00

4 tests this week.
none of which i've started studying.
increased choir pracs.
need i say more?

those who want the tickets please tell me asap. thx

2008-04-30T17:11:00.002+08:00

NO SCH TODAY!!!
actually have la... just that no need to study...
cause it's sports meets =)

dunno why heron didn't have enough shirts...
some screw up somewhere...
so we had to wear orientation tee...

was fun though.
shouted a little but tried to preserve my voice for choir prac after the sports meet.
well, all i can say is that at least we didn't get last.. haha...
was quite slack.. but i did contribute a little...
haha

CONGRATULATIONS TO 08S08 runners!!!!!
we've done ourselves proud!
haha... one first and one second... not bad...
at least we did our best...
and we've proved some people wrong!
haha...

was a great experience.
i haven't got a medal for very very long... since primary sch, in fact...
well, kinda expected since i was so slack in sec sch... haha...
will post the pics some other time cause they are with the others.

Realized why i don't like competing...
the stress and anxiety level was super high...
i was the fifth runner... felt like it took ages for the baton to reach me...
then have to run in front of the whole sch... embarassing.

and u know what!?!?!?! the weather was going against us...
It was perfectly sunny until our relay...
started to drizzle and we waited in the rain for our turn to come...
luckily the rain stopped just before we started running...
but the track was wet and i was so afraid i was going to slip and fall...
luckily i didn't.
after our event, the sun came out again...
sian.

Luckily choir prac ended early ( because it started early )
so i had time to rest before going for dance.
and i'm super tired.
2 hrs of dance later... now my muscles very tense...
dunno if i can make it...
should have exercised more often... now run a bit muscle tense already...
*sigh*

Oh, those who are interested in going for our choir concert please tell me asap.
i can help u all to order the tickets.
but can u all help to buy the $25 tickets?
Please?
looking forward to seeing u at the concert! =)

2008-04-28T20:28:00.002+08:00

hmmm.... nothing much to post really...

just rushing through GPP.

It's just the same thing over and over again in sch... so dun bother mentioning.

pressed for time.

with tests and everything.

will update another day.

2008-04-27T13:02:00.002+08:00

CHOIR CAMP
haha.... was kinda fun...
saturn's members were nice to be around with =)
slept less than 3 hrs on fri night because we had icebreaking session until 1 plus am and we had to wake up at 5 plus for PT.
icebreaking session was lame... haha... but really fun
one of the icebreaking games needed us to know each other's mother's name... super funny...
but i think i forgot all already.
then the next day, during amazing race, i saw my mum on the train...
then glenn said... "oh! I know. she's mdm __________ ." ( dun wanna fill in her whole name here)
haha... he still can remember lor...
super funny...

preparing for the upcoming concert...
so obviously, had choir pracs during camp...
AND have to memorise songs by wed...
hmmmmm... dun think i can make it in time...
so we still have choir prac on wed.. AFTER sports day...
singing after running.... and maybe there would be a test too...
weird combination...

for sports day:
GOOD LUCK 08S08!!!
may we maintain our 1st positions...
run fast and stay healthy!!!

whoa.. time to catch my breath...
realised a need for extra time..
so here's a quick little update.

as always, busy days filled with packed scheldules...

tues:
sch ended at 5pm... then had econs test until 6.
the teacher said it was easy
and when i got the paper, i didn't even understand the questions...
so i wrote a whole load of crap...
dunno how i'm gonna pass my econs...
should have taken lit instead...
went to play tennis with my dad from 7-9...
haven't had time to play for 1 month...
so i was glad i haven't lost my skills... haha
quite happy with my improvement...

wed:
ended cca at 6.40
I think i broke my record...
took 50 mins to travel home, eat, change then travel to eastpoint for dance lesson...
not bad... haha
choir just announced that we're having a camp from fri to sat...
so i think i'll have to miss this week's kidsread programme...
sad... will miss the kids...
dance lesson was really really fun....
the cheorography was soooooo nice... haha
at least i enjoyed that part of the day...
oh yeah, and i saw shiva in sch...
talked a little cause i was rushing for time...
good luck for the house cap!!!

thurs:
that's today!
haha... ended sch at 4...
came home and realised i haven't been studying the past few days...
have to go out again later for piano lesson.

hmmm.... i wonder what has happened to my life.

2008-04-20T10:53:00.002+08:00

realised i really cannot appreciate chinese orchestra music...
only liked the fast parts... haha
and it's really funny going to a CO concert with someone who also dun know how to appreciate CO music...
hilarious...
I think my purpose there is to support friends... haha...
GOOD JOB to Zhi Min, Zicong and Eleen!
Thx Xinni for accompanying me through the concert =)

newspaper collection was TIRING...
though some of the ppl were really nice...
one woman even gave us packet drinks...
really touched... haha

supposed to meet the class at 7.15 at 201 macs
reached at 7.25 and I'm the second one there...
lol... supposed to reach blk 438 by 8.30 but we set off from macs at 8.30...
we started collecting at around 9.. but i think most of the ppl have not woken up...
so many did not answer the door...
muscles aching now... but it's all for a good cause...

looking forward to our concert now...
hope we'll do well enough.
1 more month
Jiayou peeps!!!

2008-04-15T20:06:00.002+08:00

hmmm... looks like it's gonna be another busy weekend for me.
fri: sch, cca, then go watch songfest
sat: cip, cell, then go watch CO concert with Xinni.

AND there's like 2 tests next week SO FAR...
and tons of homework...
welcome to my life...

Timetable for SA is out...
why did they put econs and GP on the same day???
have to write so much...

have to go back to sch during 1st week of jun holidays too...
then have to mug for SA...
so i doubt it'll be much of a holiday.
but i'll still be looking forward to it as i get to catch up with the rest of the ppl...
really miss u guys...

got our PW group today...
my group consists of Marilyn, Zul, Hammie and me.

we should make a class specs sometime... haha...

really should study...
byebye--- for now :)

2008-04-14T17:14:00.002+08:00

Chem mock SPA.
TOTAL screw up...
didn't know what i was testing for half the time.
Teacher said we shouldn't use our thumb to trap the gas evolved in our test tube as it looks unprofessional...
which i did as i had totally NO IDEA a gas would be evolved until i saw the effervescence.
obviously it was too late.
I still have the black circle mark on my thumb to prove it.
wonder how I'm going to pass my SPA next week...
jitters.

have lessons until 6pm tomorrow.
wonder how i'll survive.
at least there's MT so i have a 2hr break somewhere...
but i'll have to use that time to find teachers...
busy busy busy.

starting to NOT understand my work.
have to start studying very hard soon. and i mean soon.
handwriting is still TOO SMALL...
trying to write larger but it's obviously not working.

realised i didn't really do a lot of work during the weekends.
So i'll have to rush through it now.
ta-ta

2008-04-13T15:41:00.006+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!!
haha... hope u like the present we got for u :)

just a little update on the past few days.

had 3 hours of free time before cca started on fri so samantha, emerlyn and i decided to go to TM for lunch...
realised that we 3 are really indecisive ppl... we took super long to decide on what to eat...
so we went to take neoprints first.
first time taking pics in my TPJC uniform... feels weird... haha...
here are the products...

Orange fan club... haha... funny how that name started...

sat was BUSY...
woke up early to go for kidsread programme...
many many ppl couldn't come today so it was left with Christina, Pearlyn and I with 6 K2 kids...
The kids were super cute but really active...
the ratio was 1 of us : 2 of them
My attention was spent alternating between them... realised that kids want your full attention and it can be really tiring.
Not that i mind, it brought me such joy when Iman saw us before the programme started and came to say hi...
really cute.

The reading programme ended late so i had to rush to parkway to meet the 4G gang.
Bus was stuck in a really massive traffic jam so i was late for 1 hour...
really sry guys...
Had a blast catching up with the gang...
But time was short so we set on a date to meet up.
So now i'm booked on 12 jun.

saw hwee kay's taekwando teacher at parkway... scammed him that zhi min and i were karate and judo learners...
super funny... haha

went for cell and ate cheesecake without any utensils after that...
new experience...
ppl must be staring... haha...

reached home tired.
haven't even started on my homework..

Oh! and TPJC choir is holding a concert at Esplanade on 19th may.
Please do come and show us your support.
Hope to see u there! :)

THANK YOUs
