Okie.. i've been asked to update..
12 April: Haiz.. never go to school on that day. Woke up with a splitting headache. Super idiotic lorr.. Den in the end i refused to wake up (how to study with a headache?), so ended up missing school. Missed Mardi Gras full dress rehearsal.. heard they did quite well that day.. Haha but i had my fair share of fun that day.. i SLEPT THE WHOLE DAY! Muahahahahahahaa!!
13 April: MATHS LECTURE TEST!! ARG!! Apparently the day before i've slept so much that i barely studied for it.. but when i was revising for it in the morning i knew most of the stuff.. budden for that paper of 3 questions, I din know how to do 1 whole question!! Sian diao la.. The killer 3rd question was parametics i tink.. X=(T^2) + (8/T^2) Y=(T^2/2) + (8/T^2) If i din remember wrongly it was something liddet.. how to make it into 1 equation?! :'(
Ha.. my GP homework was done during break..
MARDI GRAS!! (ma-di-gra) We had to meet at the Recital room at 1.. so i had to miss my class outing.. sianz.. was eating with Bee Kwee.. haha she was so excited lorr.. as in really excited about Mardi Gras.. *Okie am i'm the only one who think it will be pretty boring?* Or is she plain excited of being able to sing with *ahem*.. haha..
Being super guai i went to the recital room on time.. and as usual it wasn't open yet.. den went to the study corner near the scope.. and found choir ppl there.. haha Thessa was trying the problematic sum too! lol.. i tot i was the only one stuck at that question.. but apparently there are also many ppl in choir who knows how to solve it.. O.o
Choir prac as usual.. then went to under LT2 for final rehearsal.. wait for so long lorr.. haha Yuan Jing and Jean were talking to be about Benjamin Kwan.. haha it's so funny lorr.. at first they were pretty bored.. then when they were talking about him their eyes lit up! Especially Yuan Jing.. She was so proud that he was from her Secondary School.. haha.. makes me wonder how he looks like (last time saw his bei ying and side view when BK pointed him to me).. We waited so long and were so sian we decided to go to the Sports Comm to see his photo.. lol.. they were so excited and high lorr.. haha.. i find their funny reaction more interesting than Ben Kwan's face.. Den finally the rehearsal starts! Erm.. we sounded okie larr.. we were slightly more in tune i think.. budden we din have a chance to go through Muie Rendera there.. so sad..
Den my most irritating thing happened: WE WERE DISMISSED! Okie.. perhaps i'm supposed to be happy to have free time before the actual thing, but we only have 2h of free time.. and that is too long to be spent alone, yet it's too rush for me to go home.. hai.. i wanted to meet my CG but when i called Brenda, she told me they had finished their activities and were heading home! Oh well.. in the end i still went home.. haha so funny lorr.. when i reached home and put down my bag and changed i had to choing out of my house le.. when i was on the bus then i realised i wore the wrong pair of shoes! Because THERE IS MASS DANCE THAT NIGHT!! Sian.. Budden i was starting to have some mood for the event! Hoho..
In the end i DID reach school 10 min late.. good thing they din check for tickets :).. was zooming around with Yuan Jing and Jiahui.. YJ really ai mei lorr.. kept combing her hair in different styles and ask us which style is better.. I v sui bian that day.. just tie 1 side of my hair can le.. coz liddet won't irritate my eye.. the dinner that day was quite awful.. the fan he got egg tofu, 2 pieces of nugget and veggie.. looks nice and sounds nice.. but after the 1st bite all opinions changed.. those early birds got fried rice.. i tink it was not bad.. sian diao.. in the end even i did not finish it..
We were practicing the opening of the songs in the recital room when there were 2 outside performers wearing tribal costumes also using the room to makeup and store their things (only during the opening ceremony then i knew that they were fire-eaters.. so muscular lorr.. lol..).. den we were singing the intro of 'Hooked On A Feeling': Ou-ga-chac-ka ou-ga ou-ga.. haha then the fire-eaters were like shocked for while and joined in us.. haha then the whole choir and the two of them ended up chuckling.. haha so funny lorr.. den we couldn't continue the song we skipped to the next one.. Oh yarr we also took lots of photos in the recital room.. who can send me those photos? Jean and Yuan Jing.. both so shang jing! Me, Jiahui and YJ
1900h – 1930h HIGHLIGHT: Grand Opening Parade <-- beautiful sky! Another interesting thing that happened that day was the opening ceremony.. 6 choir girls (Yuan Jing, Jiahui, Kaiyin, Jia Wen, Jean and me) volunteered to throw balloons after the GOH gong-ed the gong.. haha because of this we got the best view for the opening ceremony.. So zi lian us took more photos *even a person from downstairs noticed us*.. we had lots of fun! Yuan Jing and Jiahui From left: Yuan Jing, me, Kaiyin, Jiahui, Jean. I like his photo the most!
Chamber Players -- Wow! nice name! Under LT2
1930h Chamber Ensemble
At that time we were shifted all our belongings into our waiting room.. where we affectionately call it 'concentration camp'.. it wasn't that bad larr.. just that choir had to put our bags into a small corner of a small room because other PDPs/performing groups had to use other corners.. at first we thought we had to sit in the room.. but v soon we had to go out and wait 4 our turn le.. so we din really stay in the room for very long too.. During that time, me and Delin saw MRS NGIAM!! Yay cute little ngiamie come back to tj! She thought she had missed our item and told us she had intended to sms Delin 'it was a good performance'.. lol..
1945h Choir
Okie.. so it was our time.. i was a little nevous.. mainly because the place was really noisy and i doubt that i can hear other sections.. When Donna blew the 1st note, i tried to drill it into my brain, but when they started singing, i started to follow their wrong key too.. Until the last song! Haha so funny, the tenors and basses set the key so high i started to laugh.. but it's not right ne? so i controlled myself and started screeching in the new key (k larr it wasn't really hard to reach budden the first note was really scary!).. Hope nobody can hear the mistake! One good thing about this choir is that when one section sings sharp or flat, the other sections will try to cover the fault by singing sharp or flat with them, so we sounded together..
2015h E-flat
Yay! Choir seniors performing! I like their performance quite alot, except that they are using seperate mikes and sounded seperated.. Oo how i envy Grace's voice!!
2115h Campus Superstar
Another highlight of the day! Bee Kwee singing with Ben Kwan! haha.. BK and BK.. the MC dunno what's he's saying when he's introducing the BKs.. he din mention that Ben Kwan is singing too, causing some confusion.. I love the songs Bee Kwee sung! So nice.. Hai i wanted to record down but i forgot.. their duet songs are okie larr.. i like Bee Kwee's voice alot more than Ben Kwan's 1.. But JJ's Dou Jiang You Tiao is definately too low for her.. lol.. Group picture. That day Simin came back too.. seeing her makes me realise i missed the 1st 2 mths of schooling in tj.. and i miss Wan Chen, See Hui and Sarah too.. I hope they're having fun wherever they are
2140h - 2200h Surprise Item/Teachers' Performances/TJ Mass Dance
Mass dance!! But too bad i'm wearing such high shoes (i short mahh), so i took off my shoes and joined in the fun (the track is so prickly!).. but towards the end i m v tired liao.. so i just sat the table at 218 and fa-dai.. And it was quite hectic when we threw the balloons for the closing ceremony.. i wanted to keep a balloon but this guy who helped out saw this balloon and liked it so he took it :'(.. but nvm..
So at night i dragged tired me home.. i went home with Gek Ting.. i think both of us were too tired we din talk much..
14 April: My happiest day of the three! I went out with my mom to BUGIS!! My paradise! Our main mission was to source for Fathers' day gift and his birthday gift.. and for her my birthday gift as well.. for me it was Mothers' day gift as well.. we grabbed a wallet after not walking for long in OG.. budden we wanted to get him a Polo tee with a pocket that won't make him look old.. but it's so hard! Those that are nice looking and more young have no pocket, those that have look really lau tu, those that are not lau tu are really EXPENSIVE!! In the end we settle with one in Parco Bugis.. I got my mom a watch that she really liked.. haha.. actually for Mothers' day me and my bro were planning to bring my mom out to eat durians! haha.. she loves durians! Okie.. so WE love durians.. so we are still going to proceed with that plan. Oh food! We ate LAKSA!! so nice lorr.. there's not much liao in the laksa, budden the gravy is super nice! But 1 irritating thing is that there's no chopstick! I guess famous laksa stalls never like to let customers use chopsticks.. Of coz we also bought mu shu gao! it's a must buy! but i tink we bought abit too much.. we bought $5 of mu shu gao (hmm.. 15 of them:) ). We wanted to eat the very nice porridge too.. but too full le.. I also bought LeeHom's Gai Shi Ying Xiong! Haha.. it's quite nice when i hear it a few more times.. but too much rap for me le.. i prefer more melodic songs i guess.. but his voice is really nice! haha..
One very funny thing that happened that day was that we took the wrong bus! Because it was pouring in Serangoon we could only step out of our home at 3+.. so we wanted to go there as fast as possible.. so my mom reckon we take the bus and she was really confident that 107 goes to Bugis.. So we were chatting on the bus when i felt that something was not right.. i start to see Lavender MRT station.. den i saw Suntec so i asked her if bugis is near Suntec.. then she began to panic a little.. because she recalled it was bus 147 that goes to bugis.. lol.. den we were so worried where the bus will bring us.. luckily the bus makes a loop after going to Suntec and once again passed by Lavender MRT station, so we alighted and from there took MRT to bugis..
In the end i still haven't buy.. haven't decided if i want to buy in Singapore.. hai coz it's like 2x the cost in singapore as compared to Malaysia.. but i dun tink i'll be going soon.. hai i'll see how.. coz after buying Father and Mothers' day gift + my dad's bdae gift i'm really broke..
Today: Erm.. nth to talk about today lehh.. slacked the whole day lorr.. lol..
Better stop here now..

Yay! Fruits basket 19 is out! Well.. perhaps it has been out for very long.. i just noticed it a few days ago, when i passed by a manga shop near TeeJay.. I went to the 7-11 beside it to buy a milo freeze den was when i passed by the comic shop, something green caught my eye.. FRUITS BASKET VOLUME 19!
I want to buy it!! But lately i've been so busy i haven't have time to go shopping for 4 weeks le.. :( Anyway, i tink i will still buy it coz i need to go and buy a FUNKY top for Mardi Gras.. A person like me will never have anything FUNKY coz i dun even noe what that word means. I went to check the dictionary on by bro's phone and this is what it gave me: 'having a moldy or musty smell' Like anyone would want to wear that kind of clothes.
So i went online and search for 'funky': 'Characterized by originality and modishness; unconventional' that sounds more like it.. but what clothes are ORIGINAL and UNCONVENTIONAL?! 'Trendy; good' This one's even more vague..
So in the end, i lowered my expectations and interpreted it like what some others did: 'Anything colourful and outstanding' (?!) But the worst thing is that BORING ME does not even have COLOURFUL clothes.. only single-coloured dull clothes.. So i'll have to buy them during the weekends for monday's 'inspection'.
On a more serious note, I NEED TO SAVE!! When i started getting monthly allowance, i made a promise to myself to save at least $10 every month for rainy days(ok larr.. for splurging :x), but it's been a year and I HAVEN'T SAVED A SINGLE CENT! I have many things i want to buy, but no $$.. my school started selling glow-in-the-dark carnations for Mothers' Day, but it costs $20! Hai.. dunno what to get for my mom.. but dun want to use the same tactics every year *secret*
On friday, GT the other 4e4 05' ppl went back to ZHSS for Sports Day.. i really want to go back, but if i really did, i'll probably just show them a fatigue face and after a few minutes have to rush back for CHOIR.. I really miss all of them.. 4e4 was never united, but somehow it feels weird without them around me, and i really missed ZHSS.. although i kept grumbling why i went to ZHSS instead of CCHSM, but in my heart i still loved ZHSS, for the environment there, for the teachers there, for the friends there.. I tink after Mardi Gras i will make a trip there.. just to see the school.. i wanted to go back many times, especially this 2 weeks, but could never make time to because i had to stay back in school until 7+ everyday.. so once Students Official duty and Mardi Gras is over, i will go back.. hopefully i can ask Hui Ting to go back with me..
On that note, i've not met many of my ZH friends since i graduated.. miss alot of them.. :(
PW is a headache! I was quite happy that day when my tutor praised my work (despite having laughed at all my grammar mistakes), which was heavily edited by my group members before submission to him, but there are some points that he pointed out which i have to improve on.. i have to do alot of research! Budden my topic was really hard to gather information.. because all the websites i found gave me the same information (in exactly the same phrasing) and were all not detailed..
Studying in TJ is really stressful, especially if you came from a neighbourhood school like me.. everyone there are from top schools, like CCHSM, DHS, AHS, TKGS, TKSS, CHIJ, VS(mostly those who could not make it to VJ).. And ppl from CCHSM(makes up a huge % of the population) and DHS are really hardworking.. i feel quite hardworking in ZHSS, but in TJ i feel super lazy, although i have been myself throughout! But i like this environment! It really makes people motivated to study too! And one good thing about these people is that when you ask them questions, they will really help you as much as they can, and not sui bian da fa ni!
Okie larr.. i better stop~

You Should Be A Gemini
What's good about you: witty and energetic, you're simply the most fun to be around
What's bad about you: you're flighty - losing interest in people and projects quickly
In love: you enjoy the "honeymoon phase," but after that it's hard for you to stick around
In friendship, you're: likely to have many groups of friends, with many different interests
Your ideal job: mime, guru, or cartoonist
Your sense of fashion: casual and simple
You like to pig out on: fast food, especially burritos
You have medium extroversion. You're not the life of the party, but you do show up for the party. Sometimes you are full of energy and open to new social experiences. But you also need to hibernate and enjoy your "down time."
Conscientiousness:
You have high conscientiousness. Intelligent and reliable, you tend to succeed in life. Most things in your life are organized and planned well. But you borderline on being a total perfectionist.
Agreeableness:
You have high agreeableness. You are easy to get along with, and you value harmony highly. Helpful and generous, you are willing to compromise with almost anyone. You give people the benefit of the doubt and don't mind giving someone a second chance.
Neuroticism:
You have low neuroticism. You are very emotionally stable and mentally together. Only the greatest setbacks upset you, and you bounce back quickly. Overall, you are typically calm and relaxed - making others feel secure.
Openness to experience:
Your openness to new experiences is high. In life, you tend to be an early adopter of all new things and ideas. You'll try almost anything interesting, and you're constantly pushing your own limits. A great connoisseir of art and beauty, you can find the positive side of almost anything.
At your darkest moments, you feel guilty. At work and school, you do best when you're researching. When you love someone, you tend to agree with them often.
In friendship, you are considerate and compromising. Your ideal careers are: business, research, counseling, promotion, and speaking. You will leave your mark on the world with discoveries, new information, and teaching people to dream.
You are calm and rational. You are also giving and kind - a great friend. You are easy going and trusting. However, you are too sensible to fall for mind games.
Independent yet devoted, you'll appreciate the unique approach to love Aquarius takes. You both see love as a bit of a game, and Aquarius will challenge you until you're completely hooked.
Why an Aquarius will love you:
You're secure enough to give Aquarius tons of space - even if it means separate interests and friends. You have the brains to keep Aquarius engaged and curious. And the passion to change the world together!
Wow! I v long never update le ar? Haha.. I guess i'm too busy lately.. With the upcoming Mardi Gras everyone is busy like mad, especially those ppl performing. The choir had been having practices 3 times a week, and i m really worn out. Luckily, tml there's NO CHOIR! Yippie! Budden there's sport's day student official duty on all my free days, which means no early days :'( Budden i may be able to go home with Hui Ting again! I finally took the weekend to collate a list of all my undone homework, and guess what? Using my super-ultra-teenie-winnie-mini font to write in my NEW ORGANISER(Yay!:)), it actually took up the whole box allocated for friday the 31st! It's not really a small box either.. i had wanted to scan a picture to put up here, but.. hai.. my scanner is still down.. so many many things i had wanted to scan in were still lying on my desk, including my CLASS/CHOIR PHOTOS, my SIGNATURES FROM THE CSS CONTESTANTS, my NEOPRINTS, PICTURES MY FRIENDS HAD DRAWN FOR ME, blah blah.. to me they are all fond memories.. i want to keep them in my heart and in hard-drive.. haha quoting someone 'i have goldfish memory'..
Anyway, my head's exploding from thinking too much for the PW Preliminary Ideas.. I've gotten a really hard to do topic that's really broad.. i tried to limit it to a specific target audience but i ended up with no ways to continue the momentum, so now i'm still cracking my head over it. I once felt like changing a topic but i couldn't find a suitable one. I really think i am a person that is v boring.. not creative at all.. no wonder other ppl always had impressive ideas but i had to stick to more practical ones (which often equates to more boring).
I finally went to see the doctor again on friday night (it means i rushed back home after choir). I had wanted to go on thursday but we were worried that Dr. Cheong would not be available and everything would be the same again. Apparently i had consulted the lousy doctor and by then, my flu recovered(but more or less by itself, not because of the medicine), but my throat did not and my voice ended up sounding like A-do.. sian.. summore i can feel that it has affected my lungs(something that a person with asthma would definitely dread). Dr. Cheong told me that actually my throat infection was pretty serious and decided to give me really strong antibiotics (which costs $30++) and of coz other medicines for blocked nose, blah blah. My dad was also down with flu so we visited the doctor together, and our medical fees added up as a really prosperous no.--$88. We stoned there for a moment, thinking if it was an early april fool joke, but it's not. So bye bye, $88!
Hai.. this year's april fool is not fun.. it falls on a saturday, which means i din get fooled by anyone.. erm except once by my bro ba.. lol..
I had to get funky clothes for Mardi Gras, so can anyone tell me what are funky clothes? *troubled*
Yay! Tonight's the CSS grand finals.. i'm actually quite excited at the thought though the two ppl i really support, Khim and Adriano are out! I hope it'll be a blast!
Because of this, i've decided to chiong homework last night.. did PW until 2+ last night(or is it this morning? O.o) . At this time, i saw this: I became quite excited because i had wanted to chat with her online for some time, but somehow our online timings are always different. But later i realised anyone online at this time would probably be doing something serious, like hmwk. So in the end i din tok to her much, only asked her not to work till too late. In the end, when my com was shutting down, she replied 'ok'. I hope she dun stress herself out too much.. I also wish that by the time she comes back from Italy and i've performed for Mardi Gras we would be able to meet for a Kbox trip :) Of coz, provided my throat recovers by then.. I have alot of things to tell her.. but i tink she'll probably not have the patience to listen to me..
I had not been doing quizzes for a very long time.. miss those weird results X) Guess i'm really a weird person..
Miss ya! Furuba! I wonder if book 19 is out le.. v long never go and see le..
I'm going for the HCJC alumni choir concert.. i hope it'll be worthwhile..
Arg! So stressed.. Loads of homework + lots of upcoming lecture tests! Ganbatte! I really missed secondary school days!
I tink this entry is super boring.. i hope i can have more to say next time.. Cya~
