Went to the discussion for the celebration planning juz now.. Will be going to Swensens for lunch next week.. ;) We also presented a hamper along with a card to Zhou lao shi as a token of appreciation to express our gratitude.. We are so grateful to her.. If not for her, we won't even be near to clinching a gold in yr 2001.. much less substain a gold award this year.. True, the training sessions are rather tough and exhausting at times.. but it's all worth it... Every1 put in lotsa effort.. sweat.. blood.. tears.. (K.. maybe not much of the blood part) these past months.. and our hard work paid off!! hax..
Haiz.. i'm realli going to miss dance practices and performances... Come to think of it.. it's kinda ironic.. When i first got selected by the dance instructor (Ye lao shi) in sec 1.. i was realli flabbergusted.. I haven't even tried dancing b4.. and i knew it'll take lotsa effort and hardwork if i wanna excel in dance.. I realli didn't have that mindset to achieve tt at that time.. And wat's more, i'm going to be in Dance for 4 years?? Okie.. it seems lyk a rather long time during sec 1.. so i kept trying to get out of Chinese Dance..hahax.. Chased after Mrs Lim for almost 1 week.. asked her to let me off the Dance.. But in the end.. she refused.. hax.. Honestly.. i was realli confused at tt time.. my pri friends used to call me a wooden block last time cos i can't even sway to the music..hahax.. and tt's true.. Juz wondered how i was going to endure those four years.. Oh well.. got criticised quite often in sec 1.. cos i kept messing up my dance steps etc..hahax.. Didn't even imagined tt i will be selected to be part of the team participating in the SYF at sec 2.. Furthermore.. performed at the Opening night oso.. n in front of an audience of bout 1000+ people?? Tt's a realli great achievement for me.. and i didn't even had stage fright at that time.. Miracle...hahax.. But realli glad tt Mrs Lim kept refusing to let me off at tt time.. If she did, i won't have the chance to cure my stage fright.. be less audience-shy.. meet such great friends.. and even got the chance to go on an overseas trip with them.. Kk.. i noe CCA grades r important oso.. but i wasn't realli concerned bout tt anyway... Dance realli made me change a lot.. Really great contrast as compared to when i was in pri sch.. Changed so much.. no wonder few ppl recognise me.. hax..
K well.. i'm realli gotta miss dance.. the teachers.. instructor.. friends.. juniors.. dance room.. mirrors.. everything!! Realli hope tt we can dance 1 final time before us officially stepping down.. I realli wanna get tt feeling etched to my memory.. hahax..
:Blog Updates: Added more midis.. Most of them are farmiliar tunes.. Seperated the Chinese midis from the Jukebox too.. And...
the graphic of the girl is finally back!!! ^_^
After 5 days of suspense..worries.. pondering.. & brooding.. we finally noe the results for our Dance SYF Competition!! And guess what? We maintained our
Gold!!! Did u see tt in bold? It's a
gold.. GOLD!! hahax... So relieved when Mrs Low announced tt during the weekly assembly.. Oh well.. when she started by saying "Let me tell u a piece a good news, our Dance SYF competition results is out...." her face was lyk.. beaming.. Then my heart realli started pounding.. a hope ignited within me... and when she asked us to guess what we achieved.. every1 in the hall was shouting "Gold!".. hahax.. So touched tt every1 was so supportive.. And well.. think Mrs Low was realli excited oso.. and she burst out.. "Yes, we've achieved another gold!".. Hahax.. realli realli happy at that time... So relieved... Oh well.. i spent the 5 days worrying tt we might end up with a silver for days marx.. so now... it's lyk i suddenly feel so free... as if a load juz vanished in my heart.. on cloud 9... hahahax..
So happy when i meet all my chinese dance friends after the announcement... We kept congratulating each other.. so joyous of success.. I noe Trisha wanted a hug too.. but... dunno lehx.. an instinct juz held me back.. hax.. Though i wanna be lyk the others.. hug each other.. but i juz can't do it... dunno y.. heez.. Anyway.. wonder if we r in the top 10... Kinda hope so oso.. since we've came such a long way.. Might as well strive for the best wat.. hahax.. Mrs Lim's going to treat us oso... Hm... looking forward to another gathering... :D
Went to TM with Cadet,ch and jess after sch oso.. On a *hermz* hunt.. But well.. it was fruitless.. Nevertheless.. it's good to take a little break from all the homework oso.. V.long never go out together liaox.. too bad.. JQ didn't go... incomplete group.. haiz.. nvm.. Well.. i met Chen Yu on the bus.. I was juz standing beside him.. and he didn't even recognise me... :( So sad.. But well.. maybe cos we were classmates for only 2 years.. and we barely spoke to each other last time oso.. so not surprising.. Furthermore.. a lot of ex-classmates were realli shocked by how much i changed.. both in character and physical appearance.. hahax.. Well.. so.. not realli their fault oso.. though.. i still feel rather upset tt i'm forgotten.. hax....
Went over to my cousin's house to use their scanner yesterday.. Planned to upload some photos onto my online photo album.. Spent nearly 2 hours scanning,editing and transfering the files back to my komp.. In the end.. when i try to convert it into gif. form.. the colours totally changed!! Disfigured.. :(Haiz.. wast my time and effort.. Think the online photo album thingy gotta wait for the recovery of my scanner.. haiz..
Sch's road run this morning.. To Heli, sorry tt i refused to be the reserve for the B Division gals competitive run.. You noe me larx.. no stamina.. even got prob achieving a C for my 2.4km.. Furthermore.. my vision always black-out after i run in the sun.. so.... bu hao yi si... (^_^")
Anyway.. i did score 5 pts for Jaguar since i completed tt 2.6km below 25mins.. K.. i noe 5 pts isn't a great deal.. but at least i contributed sth marx.. heez.. As for Cadet and CH.. they r in the competitors race today.. they r good runners marx.. hahax.. Luckily.. Heli won them... :P My mei not bad.. in fact.. is v.gd Came in 8th.. :D
Practically had to rush home after lunch with jy and ch.. Gotta get ready to go to the NDP preview.. Really lucky.. cos for 2 consecutive years.. ppl gave me the tickets.. :p But this yr... my aunt gave me 2 tickets in a diff. sector.. so gotta drag some1 along.. Couldn't think of any1.. so asked my mum to come along.. Not sure if it's a right option.. cos she kept scolding me for allowing others to cut the queue... heez...
K well.. we gotta go meet my aunt to collect the tickets first.. Had a hard time locating her.. cos every1 was dressed in red.. We had a hard time getting into the stadium oso.. Think something coped up at the entrance.. then the queue juz stopped there.. couldn't move.. And i was stucked in the middle... seperated from my mum.. Realli hot and stuffy.. and the ppl kept pushing and shoving each other... kinda annoying.. Anyway.. when we finally got seated down.. i recieved another earful of reprimandations from my mum for not follow her closely.. :(
The show was great.. realli fun.. Though it wasn't realli the actual celebration.. i still got the feeling tt it's the nation's b-day.. The front was juz the usual things.. march-by.. choir.. formation dances.. Oh well.. guess the best part was the fireworks.. It's realli spectacular.. and there's this type of fireworks.. which looks lyk a brilliant shower of tiny red and silver stars shimmering down the sky.. pretty! And there's another nice.. a waterfall-like type.. the way they explodes.. shoots up.. and falls as golden thread-like mist... Lingering for awhile... then fading into the darkness...
SYF Dance Competition today.. Went to school quite early to avoid the usual bus squeeze.. But think i went abit too early.. cos the dance room wasn't even opened yet.. Received lotsa good-luck wishes from my friends.. so touched tt they jing1 shen2 shang4 de4 support us.. Luckily Mrs Low didn't ask us to stand up at the morning assembly.. or else.. realli pai seh.. hate being at the centre of attention though there'll be others standing up.. heez..
Anyway, we started dressing up immedately after attending a talk by Mr Joseph Lim.. Don't wu4 hui4.. it's not related to the dance.. juz tt i need improvement in my Humans.. heez.. K well, we put on the usual make-up.. (face powder, realli pink rouge, gold eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick, mascara and glitter on out left arm..) Come to think of it.. lucky tt it's not the lunar 7th month.. hahax.. We spent lotsa time tying our hair oso.. cos gotta pull up every strand of hair into a realli tight and high ponytail.. Especially those with realli thick and long hair..(lyk me lorx..) had a realli tough time with it.. heez.. But well.. in the end.. still got everything in place with Mrs Lim's help.. hahax..
Well.. felt rather excited as the time for our competition approaches.. We practised a few rounds.. though they aren't realli perfect.. And lotsa ppl were peeking/looking into the dance room oso.. so pai seh.. hax.. Think JQ saw me.. and our face was ssoooo red... K.. anyway, i brought my camera along.. took lotsa photos for sweet remembrance.. It's my last yr anyway.. so muz take more pics.. keep it for memory.. hax.. Budden.. still can't develop the photos yet.. cos still got some film left.. Hm... what should i snap..? *ponders*
Spent the whole morning getting ready.. went to the hall to take group photos after our lunch(char siew rice again..). Set off for ACS Barker at around 1.30pm.. and met lotsa dancers there.. Some of those troops even got male dancers.. and think we already lost out on tt.. hax..
Anyway, juz b4 we went in.. saw our princpal, v.principal and Mr Ho... So happy tt they came all the way there to support us.. hahax.. Oh yar.. and our ex-seniors too.. though we saw them only after we came out..
Majority of us were rather cool when we were at the backstage.. And guess what? Everyone smiled!!! Hahax.. finally.. a terrfic start.. Think everyone coordinated pretty well too.. Out efforts did pay off.. hahax. I think i did okie too.. though when i ran up the stage.. i almost lost the grip of my fan.. (phew!).. So glad tt i managed my firewheel pretty well.. guess practise realli makes perfect arx? Kk.. maybe not perfect.. but got improvement horx.. And the finale where every1 was supposed to open their fans at the same time.. so relieved tt every single of us caught tt beat.. Heard tt our moves were rather orderly oso.. hahax.. Well.. everything went on qt smoothly.. other then a few little accidents.. But still, everyone did their best.. And realli hope tt we've achieved a Gold.. hahax..
When we came out.. Mrs Lim and Mrs Ng looked realli pleased.. Said tt we did a fantastic job.. and tt this was the best dance so far..hahax.. We were so happy... glad to hear tt our chances of getting a gold is realli high.. Budden.. when i saw our ex-seniors.. they got this "not-up-to-expectations" expression lehx.. Dunno if we realli did tt well.. quite contrasting..
Went to Compass Pt with YS,JL and 2 juniors for a mini celebration after the competition.. (not sure celebrating wat though.. maybe to reward ourselves for our hardwork?) Ate dessert at the food court.. and took a group pic oso.. hahax.. Maybe cos it's the first time i went out with them.. so didn't talk much.. But well.. we had a nice time too... and tt icy dessert after a hard day's work.... yum.... :p
Now tt the SYF's over... realli curious to noe our results.. But gotta wait for a few more days... haiz... Anyway, i added a few more melodies in my jukebox.. they r realli nice.. try listening to them if u r free... ;)
Congrets to XM band.. for clinching a Gold in the SYF this yr.. U all did it!! :D And the the XM Choir, congrets tt u all clinched a Silver oso. Great improvement! ^_^
Let's see... 20+ more hours to the SYF Dance Competition.. dunno y.. i'm still not tt nervous lehx.. heez.. Oh well, it's not the first time i'm performing on stage anyway.. and i do have previous competition experiences.. Feel rather worried though.. Guzheng has clinched a Gold.. and guess the pressure's on the other aesthetics groups now..
Come to think of it... this batch is certainly not as competitive and enthu as compared to the 2001 batch.. Maybe cos we were realli hoping to get our first Gold at tt time.. and everyone had that sense of commitment.. tt spirit to work towards our goal.. so team work's not realli a problem.. Furthermore.. tt time there's seniors to guide us.. to encourage us to smile.. and they realli do have the techinque to make us smile also.. hahax.. Haiz.. kinda missed those days with them.. Now.. i'm one of the seniors liaox.. must help encourage the juniors.. But well.. shyee... heez.. Don't realli talk to every single of them.. but i do get along well with the Asean scholars.. and some others too..
Realli hope tt everything'll go on smoothly for tt 5 minutes.. Kinda scared there'll be little accidents.. Oh well.. we are using fans this time.. not the long long attached sleeve as in 2001.. Kinda scared tt we'll hit each other and drop our fans.. (touch wood!!) Well.. think we'll juz leave it to fate.. and hope tt lady luck'll smile at us tomorrow.. Realli hope that our hard work and efforts will pay off..
Tml might be my last Dance practice liaox.. no doubt tt i'll miss every1.. Budden.. the most important thing now is to focus on tml's competition... We have trained so hard for that mere 5 minutes on stage.. and we've came such a long way... Haiz.. think enuff for today.. Last reminder.. Rmb to bring everything.. CANNOT have stage fright.. (we can't realli see the audience anyway..) and most importantly.. MUZ dance with feelings.. Smile.. SMILE.... =D
All the best to the XM Choir and the Symphonic band also... Good luck.. and aim for a Gold! ^_^
Had a rather busy afternoon.. did my homework.. and packed the photo album cabinet for my punishment.. Actualli, think it's more of a pleasure.. hahax.. Well.. kinda surprised of the amount of dust accumulated in juz 6 months.. But anyway.. looked through almost all the photo albums.. and recalled lotsa events.. outings... memories... Picked out some rather cute childhood photos oso.. wanna make a personal album of them when i'm free next time.. :p And well.. thought of uploading them here for ppl to see... but too bad.. my scanner's out of order liaox.. hax.. Maybe i'll go to my cousin's hse and scan next time..
Hm well.. saw some of his photos juz now.. Realli missed him... Think it's almost 3 yrs since i last saw him.. wonder how's he doing now.. Though some1 did gave me his number.. but i juz don't have the courage to call him.. Wanted to call him on his b-day last yr.. but well... haiz.. In the end.. i sent a sms to him.. wishing him happy birthday.. But think i was realli stupid oso.. noe tt his hp can't display chinese text.. still purposely sent him 1.. Whenever i recieve mysterious phone calls.. i'll think it's him who called.. I noe it's stupid.. but maybe he's too shy to speak up oso.. But well.. i realli realli miss him.. no doubt bout tt.... It's kinda embarrassing oso.. cried a lot last time after he left us.. And 13yrs isn't exactly a young and tender age too.. Oh well.. had to learn to be strong.. life still gotta carry on even without him anyway.. But still.. it's lyk an empty space in my heart... heart ache.. K.. well.. enuff of sad memories.. Wat's over already over.. shouldn't moan and cry over it.. But 1 thing's for certain... i'll continue to pray and hope for his return... even if tt's wasting another birthday wish.. Maybe i should really learn to let go... to control my thoughts.. stop thinking of him... argh!!.. But it's impossible... haiz... :'(
Recount on yesterday's events..
Had our 2nd Chemistry Mock exam in sch.. Honestly, it wasn't tt hard, and we erm.. kinda discussed the qns.. heez.. But well, it's juz a practice test anyway..
Had been looking forward to the Xinfony IV.. Partly cos it's the first time that i see Jess and CH perform on stage.. Oh well, missed the chance last yr marx.. cos i went to the NDP instead.. So this yr.. muz go.. or else.. i'll feel realli guilty.. heez.. Anyway, the ticket sales was realli gd.. full house.. As compared to last yr.. guess it's a drastic improvement..
Planned to meet JY and Nurul at the Hougang MRT station.. but had to settle some bills thingy and to buy a gift at compass pt b4 tt.. Heli called me while i was on the way there.. said tt she's joining us.. So happi tt my xiao mei decided to go oso.. despite she's realli tired from tt cheering at tt VB match.. hahax. Anyway, while on my wat to Montique.. i met A.C, H.J and another fren on theirs.. Realli realli pai seh.. and A.C kept emphasizing tt i didn't wear specs.. But it's nothing surprising marx.. i wear contacts qt often.. But well, think i was rather bad to not reply them.. merely smiled and walked away.. heez..
Went to Seng Kang MRT station to meet He li.. and boy, she looks realli great with her hair down! Think it's the 2nd time i didn't c her tie up her hair.. but since she went rebonding.. so shouldn't tie up her hair so often marx.. K well, we met lotsa XM students.. and since Heli's so actice in sch, every1 kept acknowledging her.. hahax.. Every few mins.. i'll hear a grp shouting out her name... Anyway, met Nurul and JY at hougang.. we were abit late.. cos nurul went back to take her ticket.. In the end.. L,MW and Jack gotta wait for us again.. felt rather bad.. cos we girls are always late.. heez..
Saw lotsa farmiliar faces at VCH.. and Jess & CH looked realli smart in their suits too.. Abit lyk business woman.. hahax.. The stairway leading up to the concert room was realli crowded.. cos we had to queue up for temperature measurement.. Oh well, as expected, i failed the test again lorx.. It occurs so often anyway.. and in addition.. we were walking realli fast cos we were late.. But still. i was startled when Mr Chee said tt my body temperature was 38.2.. Lucky i wasn't in sch.. or else.. i'll be sent home.. hax.. Well, i had to gulp down lotsa water at a corner.. kinda awkward oso.. cos the teachers kept asking me y i was so "warm".. And Mr Lim even asked me y i was so excited??? :S.. Anyway, finally passed after using another thermometer.. finally can enter the concert hall.. haiz...
Was kinda surprised when i saw the 6 of them sitting in different rows.. but guess we came too late.. so there's not 7 straight empty seats left.. Think JM and Chris were realli curious bout who was *hermz..* then ran over when they saw us.. Wanted to take a pic of him oso.. but sneaking isn't rite wor.. hahax.. Planned to intro them to cat.high guys oso.. as promised marx.. But because of erm.. so problems.. and my lack of courage.. so.. heez.. Anyway, they do noe who is who in the end.. so i guess.. i did kinda complete my task oso lorx.. hahax..
Went to Marina Sq to have our dinner after the concert.. and Nurul left first.. leaving the 6 of us.. Well, we we gt there.. most of the shops were closed.. only left BK and Mac.. Wanted to go to BK, but they don't serve food after 10... so tt left us with Mac.. Heli and JY were starving.. but dunno y.. i didn't feel hungry.. hax.. Only felt realli thristy.. (I'm a dehydrating agent marx.. wat can u expect?) Couldn't even finish my nuggets.. luckily the guys helped me eat.. hahax. As for the Macflurry.. well.. i've nvr had any prob finishing up ice cream marx.. heez..
We met 9 and his frenz at the Mac oso.. and think they recognised me,heli and jy.. Oh well.. heli,jy and leon were queuing up to buy food.. so i pointed him out to MW & Jack.. hahax.. Msg Jess oso.. and she sound rather er... jealous..? and erm.. dunno how to describe.. hax..
When we finished our meal.. it was realli late.. about 11pm.. And heli & JY were realli fatigued.. Then my y.bro called.. warning me tt my mum angry liaox.. cos so late.. i'm still outside.. Oh well, suddenly didn't have the mood to talk.. cos of my mum.. and er.. some other msgs.. We 3 gals were realli quiet while walking towards the MRT station.. leaving the guys to talk among themselves.. The stripe of my sandals came loose.. and i didn't even bother to fix it.. haiz.. Oh yar, i was wearing this realli high platforms.. didn't planned to wear it.. but JY asked me to accompany her and wear high heels.. Since she rarely wear high heels.. so i agreed to wear oso lorx.. And she was describing over the phone till i kept imaging it's realli high.. in the end.. it's only bout 2cm.. :S Tricked me manz.. i thought it's 2 inches high or wat.. Anyway, think it was a bad choice for me to wear heels.. cos i er.. looked realli tall as compared to the other girls.. almost 170cm.. Anyway, Cadet kept complaining tt her feet hurts.. and even took it off and walked barefooted when on out way to Suntec.. Heli and Nurul were realli astonished.. then i kept reminding her bout yi2 tai4.. hax.. Think the guys were taken aback too.. and Jack even shock his head.. hax.. High heels realli tt uncomfortable mehx..? :S..
k well.. think i'm abit out of pt.. Recieved another call from my mum when i reached the Hougang bus terminal.. Or rather, u can call tt a Howler.. She sounded realli cross.. and almost screamed at the fone oso.. heez.. even threatened to lock the door if i don't reach home within 10 mins.. Well.. i practically had to run home.. didn't even have the time to wait for a bus.. Saw Xiang xin and his frens at the interchange, but think he didn't realli recognised me.. He did glance in my direction though.. K well, i reached home in bout.. 5mins? Tt's pretty fast.. cos it takes others at least 10 mins to complete tt route.. She did lock the door anyway, but luckily.. i brought my keys along. Well, she was standing at the doorway of her bedroom.. fuming mad while i closed the door.. Got a realli harsh telling off by her.. This morning.. got reprimanded by her again.. say wat only indecent gals come home tt late.. But well, i did inform her beforehand marx.. and it wasn't even midnight yet.. K.. i noe she's juz concerned bout me.. afraid tt i'll be kidnapped or wat.. but i'm pretty old liaox marx.. aware of my own safety.. She's still mad at me though.. didn't speak a single word to me since i came back from sch this morning.. Budden.. watever larx.. I'm kinda used to it anyway.. juz keep my cool and accept watever she says lor.. And doubt she'll still not talk to me by mon.. But to reconcile... tt'll take pretty long.. haiz...
Juz came back from a rather cold and miserable gathering.. Well.. we were aware that some1 in our grp was rather angry.. and we don't blame her too.. Sympathize her instead.. We were planning our usual Tues outing.. (well.. to compass pt only larx) and i was realli glad tt all 5 of us can go.. It had been rather long since the 5 of us went out together.. and we were kind of looking forward to the usual gossiping and group studying session.. But bcos of sth tt happened in sch.. 1 of us was realli unhappy... or rather.. fed-up.. Almost didn't want to come and join us.. though she did came in the end.. But the atmosphere there was quite tense.. not lyk the usual jovial group..
Well.. hope she'll regain her cheerfulness tml.. But well, if she still don't wanna talk to us.. we'll understand... Anyway, was rather disappointed tt Guo Sheng(did i rmb his name correctly?) and his mum lost in the game, kin-Ergy hosted by channel 8.. Oh well, was rather surprised when i saw him on T.V bout 4 weeks ago.. And he and his mum've been doing realli great for the 1st 4 weeks.. Kinda supported them.. cos he's my schoolmate marx.. hahax. And he went to Beijing last yr Nov oso.. tt's y i kind of noe him.. Moreover, he's an outstanding Guzheng player.. so doubt that few ppl noe him.. Budden well.. they came in 3rd.. so i guess tt's pretty good too.. Muz learn to be sastified.. ritez? Hax..
Argh!! The girl on the left disappeared!! Juz realised it... and i didn't even edit the html code yesterday night.. :( The picture juz.. disappeared.. Vanished into thin air.. But it was still there yesterday night.. and i don't think there's anything wrong with the code.. Checked it a couple of times juz now.. didn't find anything werid tt'll affect the templete.. Adib said the graphic might reappear tml.. well.. hope so.. or else.. i gotta redo everything!! :'(
Anyway, did a realli horrble thing juz now.. I betrayed ch even though we signed treaty last time.. Well.. dunno y.. but i was in cahoots with the rest.. It's lyk.. we got 1 extra photo that we've taken on Sat.. we and thought of giving it to F (don't wanna use real name.. later he'll plot revenge on me..). Budden.. i got this realli "brilliant" idea.. and we planned to dare him to wish ch a happy birthday this thur b4 giving it to him.. Actualli, i didn't realli expect tt we'll carry out this plan.. But when we were waiting for jq outside her class.. and when we saw him standing near the door.. juz got this urge to carry out this dare.. I noe we are very bad.. but think we were juz too mischievous.. heez.. Well, Jess and jq called him out.. and think he was rather surprised and embarrassed.. face was realli red.. We were lyk.. juz started explaining when all the other guys looked out.. F tried to block the door.. but think he kind of forgotten about the back exit.. They came out.. and every1 was so eager to see the photo.. hax.. Anyway, we explained the dare.. and was realli surprised tt he accepted it. He didn't realli procrastinate or hesitate oso.. Well... think we've got sth to look forward to this thur.. and to CH.. reali reali sorry... I feeling rather guilty now.. (-_-")
K.. don't think i'll want to elaborate much on that.. in case some1 *hermz*.. very pai seh.. Saw a realli cute puppy b4 coming up juz now.. Was waiting for Grandma near the lift, and her friend was walking towards me while holding on to a puppy.. Not sure which specie it is.. but it's brown and white.. It's not realli huge oso.. quite small.. and realli adorable.. hahax. Anyway, the interesting part was when it saw me... it juz kind of ran over.. and started licking the lower part of my calf.. hahax.. Realli sweet of him.. and erm.. his tongue was realli wet oso.. hahax.. but i don't mind... it's juz too adorable.. ^_^
Hee heez.. seems tt i've kind of regained my html skills.. Put up a Jukebox, and added some midis.. Most of them are rather familiar melodies.. mostly chinese songs though.. Quite nice.. do try listening to them if u all have the time.. I'll put up more of my collection next time.. ;)
Almost completed the fifth Harry Potter book.. left a few more pages.. First time take so long to complete a J.K Rowling book.. Her stories are realli interesting.. and i usually get realli absorbed in it too.. But don't have much time to spare this yr..
Caught a slight cold.. Muz be cos of walking in the rain yesterday.. Actualli.. it didn't realli rain tt heavily when we were walking to P.S.. Juz a light drizzle.. tt feeling's realli great.. very cooling.. but well, there's a price to pay for in the end.. hahax.. Can't stop sneezing.. :(
Celebrated Ch's b-dae with Jess,Cadet,Jacob,HL,MW, L juz now.. and of cos.. CH larx.. 8 ppl.. huge grp horx.. hahax. But had lotsa fun.. Thought tt jess wasn't coming.. but seems tt she tricked us again.. But nvm, we'll be realli sad if she's not here.. hahax.. It'll seem lyk the grp's not complete.. Glad tt she zi dong oso..
Well.. was quite shocked when ch and jess's band practice ended realli late.. From 2.30 to arnd 5+.. Kinda pity them.. practise for so long.. Anyway, we waited for them for quite long.. and when every1 reached there.. we headed our way to Fish & Co.. as planned. But cos there's a realli long queue there.. we went to Swensens instead.. though there's quite a lot of ppl there oso..
As predicted b4 hand.. we kept talking in pairs.. didn't realli talk to mw and L when we first met too.. But things warmed up later.. and we kinda had fun playing games while having dinner.. Think they still dunno the ans to one of those lame trick game.. hahax.. Though it's qt obvious.. juz gonna think simple.. Anyway, qt surprised tt we managed to get every1 sit according to wat we planned oso.. hahax
Well.. we got a motive behind it marx.. ;) (Sorry to Mw,ch,L and jess...)
We took a pic juz now oso.. wanted to take a neocard.. cos nan de every1's together.. But in the end.. chose the wrong machine.. and gotta realli squeeze for those small framed pics.. hax.. Especially tt heart shaped frame 1.. should have walked away and leave a couple there.. hahax.. Haiz.. seems lyk we realli v.mischievous.. tease our friends lyk tt... But matchmaking's realli fun.. hahax..
Wanted to walk around later.. but Jac wasn't feeling well.. then we decided to go back eariler.. Me and Cadet offered to see Jac home oso.. Can see tt jac realli pai seh... but tt's wat friends are for marx.. And we'll be worried if Jac goes home alone.. Shun(4) Lu(4) anyway..
Anyway, to Cai Yun.. Happy 15th birthday.. Thanks for keeping in contact in me.. realli happy that u still remember me oso.. And sorry tt i gotta pass u a belated prezzie.. Best wishes and gd luck to u... ^_^

Had a rough night yesterday.. and overslept.. Can't believe tt i woke up 1 1/2 hours later than usual.. almost late for school.. Really shocked when my mum jolt me up from my dream this morning.. and almost flabbergusted when i knew tt it was already 6am.. But anyway, i managed to catch the same bus.. and get to sch early.. Juz tt.. well.. felt realli drowsy on the bus.. half-awake.. hax.. Didn't have time to gulp down some caffeine b4 i left.. so was kind of weary for the whole day..
Couldn't concentrate on my POA test too.. almost can't finish the paper.. confirm can't get a high distinction this time.. Budden.. well.. today's part only covers about 12 marks.. so there's still hope.. If i'm not wrong.. the 2nd part should be around 13 marks.. and if i can balance tt.... well.. there's hope.. ^_^
Added a mini poll.. so pls vote!.. :D
Had English oral today.. and surprisingly, i was kind of a nervous wreck.. I wasn't even tt nervous during my Chi O'levels Oral.. but juz now.. haiz.. Stammered a lot and kept stumbling between simple sentences.. Though it's kind of expected.. I'm not english-speaking anyway.. not even the slightest bit fluent when reading and speaking English.. But luckily, the teacher commented that i did well for the picture description and the conversation part.. And tt's a great relief.. hax.. Muz really train on my fluency now.. gotta speak more English.. lesser mandrain.. hax..
Anyway, had a headache planning for CH's b'dae celebration.. Why do i always end up as one of the main planners?.. :( Got so many decisions to make.. situations to compromise with.. and the need to rack the brain for ideas and solutions.. Furthermore.. gotta be flexible with unexpected situations.. Haiz.. realli good training to improve my dominance.. But i failed horribly for my D part!!.. This is tough manz.. Think i'm gonna end up as "translator" this Sat oso.. Don't care liaox... gonna ask them do the work instead... hax..
You're an Angaian, a typical 'angel'! Your species'
wings can be any color and any size, and you
dress in varied manners. You might be found
wearing a long gown, and a little later, you
might be wearing a crop top and jeans. No style
of dress or appearance is really considered
'odd'. You like being high up and may have your
home in a mountain cave.

Went to ACS today again.. This time, watched a realli good dance by St Margaret Sec.. felt realli inferior.. It's quite obvious that some of the dancers are from China.. or that they had trained since young.. Juz look at their flexibility.. it doesn't seems to take them much effort to do those splits.. kicks.. watever.. And they got this air of confidence too.. though they didn't smile much, but there's no doubt that it's a gold-award dance..
Well, too much comparison can lead to inferiority.. so shouldn't compare.. Budden.. their costumes are nicer.. their dance is better.. their chance of entering the top 10 is better.. Kk.. enuff.. it's not as if our sch's dance troop reigns over the other schs in the first place.. Juz gotta try our best.. and see wat's in for us.. All's fair play anyway..
Kk.. news reported that Laleh died too... Saddening manz.. to think that both were born on the same day.. and died on the same day.. Maybe they shouldn't have agreed to this surgery.. maybe they should have juz accepted the fact that they can't be separated... haiz.. don't say liaox...
Haiz.. sad day.. Failed my geo mock.. barely passed my S.S.. and think Cadet was kinda angry with us.. Well, i'm not surprised that i didn't do well for my mock.. afterall.. i didn't manage to finish studying everything thoroughly.. In fact,i didn't realli feel tt sad when i recieved the papers.. kind of expected the results.. As for Cadet, dunno y she's so downcast juz now.. Barely said a word on the way home. She didn't even wanna say wat happened, juz avoided eye contact with us..
K.. enuff of that.. Maybe i was juz thinking too much.. Anyway, juz realised that one of the adult Iranian twins died in the operation.. Though it's kind of expected, but still.. feel so sad for them.. Realli admire their courage and bravery for going into the dangerous operation despite knowing the possible consequences.. Even though there's still hope that Laleh might be saved, but think she'll be realli saddened when she knows that her sister died.. I mean it's lyk, exchanging her twin's life for her physical independence and freedom?.. But nevertheless, it's still a relief that one of them might survive..
Maybe.. it's better that we view a glass of water as half full rather than half empty..
Read through my posts once... and realised that i've been more of recording down the day's events rather than my thoughts... Well... this seems more of my online journal liaox.. hahax... Thoughts... they all got another place to go to... ;)
K... i'm gonna report the day's happenings again... :S.. fell asleep juz now when watching a supposedly horror film.. Nothing much scary bout it.. juz "ghosts" appearing behind the main character.. and floating about sometimes... so lackluster... Wonder y ppl say this show is scary oso... :s
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is strange, it will twist and turn,
As all of us will someday learn.
And many a person turns about,
When they might have won, had they stuck it out
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow.
You may succeed with another blow.
Often strugglers have given up,
When you might have captured the victor's cup,
And you learned too late when the night came down,
How close you were to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the cloud of doubt.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit!

Yesterday was kinda fun! Had the annual Homecoming day.. and it really drew a large crowd. At first.. we thought tt outsiders and ex-pupils were not allowed to participate.. but they seemed to ignore the rule and return anyway. Well.. they've already brought the tickets.. and Homecoming is meant for them to return and have fun.. so it's only right that we invite them.. Anyway.. met a few seniors too.. glad tt they still remember me.. but we didn't realli talk.. Maybe cos i'm too busy helping out at the stall... selling maltose candy.. hahax.. Kinda surprised tt we attracted lotsa customers without much advertising oso..
Had my chinese O'Levels oral after tt.. kinda surprised tt i wasn't much of a nervous wrack b4 that.. In fact.. Cadet was more tensed-up then me.. Can see that her face was really red.. and she kept practising her oral while we help out at the stall.. Anyway.. it's good to be relaxed also.. But i did get rather nervous while reading out to the examiners.. hahax.. kept stammering.. But watever... it's all over now... =D
Anyway, Mr Ng C.K was one of the examiners of JQ's grp.. Think they are realli lucky... cos he's qt lenient.. Realli jealous when i heard that Mr Ng'll be testing them.. cos they'll have a close encountance with him.. Wanted to say hi to him.. but don't have the chance.. And anyway, he did look in my direction when i left the room.. hahax.. Maybe he still rmbs me... :p Realli missed his cartoons oso.. lyk that banana man.. hahax.. He's a realli nice teacher .. very tolerant.. n fatherly.. Sometimes abit too shui bian till the students kind of take advantage of him.. :( Anyway.. tt time in sec 2.. me,wang and linda wanted to make a chi horoscope figurine for him.. and we went to ask him which year he was born in.. Then in the end.. he joked that he was born in the year of the tortoise.. and we realli made a clay tortoise figurine for him.. hahax.. Wonder if he still has it... hm.....

We went all the way to ACS Barker this morning... to practise our dance on their theater stage.. Actually, it's more of getting familiar with the stage area.. cos we'll be having our SYF competition there on the 23rd of this month. Wow... that's exactly 3 weeks left before the competition.. wonder if we can do as well as the previous year.. Muz do our best to clinch another goal this yr.. and if possible.. enter the top 10 again? Hahax.. it's not impossible.. but tt'll require us to cooperate well and be realli confident on tt day.. muz smile a lot when on stage oso.... SMILE...=-D
Well... this morning.. supposed to assemble at the foryer at 8am.. But Mr Chia kept dragging on his announcements.. and Mrs Low kept making us sing the National Anthem repeatedly..Think Mrs Lim was kinda annoyed.. so she made us all get up.. and go to the foryer straight from the parade square.. Kinda embarrassing oso.. when the whole school's looking and gawking at you as u leave.. But anyway, when we reached tt sch... it looked so cool!.. Like a miniature University... got a multi-story carpark oso.. and ACS Barker isn't even an independent sch.. They got a sports complex oso... and tt competition pool... wow... hahax.. If only XM got a pool oso... But anyway.. as requested by a fren.. muz keep a look-out for shuai ge(s)... but kinda dui bu qi her.. cos i kept my attention on that pool... hahax... Felt like diving into it juz now..
K.. then we entered this mini theater of theirs.. and saw this group of Indian ppl dancing to the Indian version of F4's "Can't help falling in love with u".. Hahax..tt melody sounds so werid.. Not tt i'm a racist or wat.. juz tt it sounds realli funny lorx..
We kept repeating the dance for bout 2 hours... but everytime.. oso got ppl drop their fan.. haiz.. can't blame oso.. tt stage's smaller than what we expected.. and it's so slippery.. And those spot-lights... kinda blind us out.... But 1 good thing is... our knees doesn't hurt when we kneel on the wooden platform.. hax... Maybe cos too slippery liaox.. then little friction present.. Watched another school dance oso... think it's Chung Cheng high.. or is it Anglican? Anyway.. they were dancing bout this tale of a peacock.. qt nice.. simple.. but no feelings.....
Saw a really cute boy when coming home with JQ juz now.. He's really arodable.. kept smiling at us... hahax.. And he's realli good looking also.. smooth complexion.. spiky hair.. Well, we kinda noticed him smiling at us when we boarded the bus. We returned his smile.. juz to be polite.. but he kept glancing in our direction.. When we sat at the back, he even turned back and smile at us.. Werid, but really cutez~ hahax.. The way he smiles.. is realli sweet.. and tt sparkle in his eyes.. Too bad he doesn't have any dimples.. or else, he'll look even more attractive... :p We wanted to approach him.. and try talking to him.. But his grandparents were there.. and kinda pai seh.. Though me and JQ can be rather daring at times.. but still... we dunno him marx.. Anyway, he kept casting that charming smile of his at us.. realli irresistible.. felt like hugging him at the spur of the moment.. ;) JQ tried waving to him.. but maybe he didn't see it, or tt he's shy.. only shrugged... But when i tried waving to him b4 i got off the bus... and he actualli waved back! Aw... babies are juz so cutez~ ^-^
