we spent the whole hour doing one exercise for harmony tutorial today.
had breakfast at burger king with jwen.
we had cup noodles in school. it was abit embarrassing seeing 2 of us carrying the noodles around. dots.
practised in school till 12.30. wanted to go home after that but mum told me to meet her at orchard.
ended up 'looking after' baby breanna. she's hyperactive. brought her to toys'r'us at the forum. she started running everywhere, pulling out whatever was in reach. oh wells, she's only 1. lol.
she fell asleep while i was carrying her. gosh, she's heavy for her age lar.
it was so peaceful. but she woke up an hour and a half later.
we had dinner at lau pa sat. then came straight home. i'm super tired. my legs are breaking, soon.
aural, singapore arts scene followed by samuel's concert tmr. long day. sorry
mugging at esplanade on saturday morning. cell at kevin's house at night. and then, grace's chalet in the later night.
all packed, but i'm looking forward to saturday. =)) breakaway from school and stuff.

Wednesday, March 29 ; 7:20:00 PM♥
today's so not my day can.
left my house at 8 thinking that i'll be early for once. who knows, the train chose to stop at serangoon and the door 'refused' to close. was listening to my mp3 so i took a while to realise that the train wasn't moving and it was already 8.40. called eudora up, she just left her house. called samuel and he was in a cab. so he picked angela from kovan and then picked us from serangoon.
we were 15 mins late for history.
i'm gonna flunk the listening exam. i browsed through the notes only in the cab. but wad's the use when i can't tell some of the genres. dangs.
chamber choir, pianists and wind ensemble performed for platform. quite an interesting performance, at least i didn't fall asleep. =)
rushed off to bugis with jwen to meet kenneth. thought i wouldnt be going to the airport tonight, so just in case.
we went to starbucks while waiting for him and we met weikang. lol.
rushed back to school after giving kenneth the cards coz it started raining.
reached school in time. *phew*
sight-singing was at the theatre.
deep river and ezekial. concert's next wednesday, hope we'll do well. =\
and the attire? jeans, black-covered shoes, and a top (solid colour, with collar, no t-shirts) isn't the same as choir attire, just that we're not supposed to wear black or white. rahs. gotta go buy/find.
m.o.a was b-o-r-i-n-g. so much notes to copy. it was really alot. the whole clas was already complaining. and the recital hall was freezing cold. my toenails turned purple so i decided to go out for a walk. went to the coffee shop with nuz.
and of all things, this had to happen. i spilt like almost the whole cup of iced milo on the table and it dripped to my skirt, my wallet got wet..blah blah blah.
suay la. and the stain left made it look like i pee-d on my skirt. dots.
went to the toilet and tried to dry my skirt. jwen called saying lesson was over.
zheng yi laughed at my stain la. evil.
went home as fast as i could. had dinner, and went to pasir ris with mum. she was met aunt peggy to go for cell, while i waited at the bus-stop for mr kenneth ang. this guy here was still bathing when i reached. and i had to wait at the wulu bus stop.
reached the airport at 9.15. pp people were already there.
then most of soymilk came except for s-twins and jeremy.
there's sth wrong with the telecom system tonight. whoever we called or sms-ed didn't seem to reply at all. first was the s-twins, then jeremy, my dad, douglas, etc... oh wells.
andris and i were so tired and we kept sitting down. we were kinda anti-social tonight. sorry guys. uncle pak fook helped to publicise about my 'revelation' on sunday. thx ar. now aaron wants to know. it's super dumb can.
valmond asked about the concert at anglican high this saturday, if nafa choir is performing. i think i heard dr goh mention abt such a concert, but no, i dun think it's nafa choir.
irvin, nicholas also asked me the same thing. lol.
candice went in 10.30. it's sad to see her leave, but she'll be back, about the same time as shunwen. good!
andris went off to meet her mum. and luckily for uncle pak fook's reminder that andris' mum will pass by my house before going home. so i called and thank God, i managed to hitch a ride from them. the others went to burger king. i'm too tired to join us guys.
i shall end here. today's not a blessed day =(
hope tmr is =))

oh wells, listening exam's tmr, i haven't started on anything yet. sickening.
harmony lecture was o-k. mr yap was lame as usual. he said he's giving us minimal homework. but his portfolio expectations are among the highest can.
next week's the time for harmony project presentation. and we only got started today. haiz. God pls give me more time.
sebastian(access course) is officially mrs yau now.
the whole process was recorded on video using my hp.

thx daniel. haha. now i'll get different phrases every morning. just dun oversleep again dan. lol.
for those who've been reading my blog frequently will realise that i'm always late for class. so it's not any big deal to mention it again that i was 45 mins late for percussion. being the kind mr yeo, he didn't say much. he joked about it.
he said, 'i thought i was late, you came even later. i wanted to come late, so that you'll be earlier than me.'
i'm sooooo sorry, i better be early next week.
there's a mock exam next monday.
choir was next. did the same 3 songs again. this time with shaun as the bass guitarist. and richard as the drummist. it's really cool. but the way we sing makes it sound so dead. there's not enough movement.
the concert's during Music Platform next Wednesday, 5th April from 12.30pm to 1.30pm.
there will at least be 5 people as audience. mainly dr kan, mr adams, mrs phua, dr tan and mr watson. and maybe chamber choir ppl.
so to my dear friends reading this, if u're free, pls come k? it's free-of-charge.
msg me if u're coming. it's really pathetic to sing to only a handful of people, after all our hard work. =))
it was so embarrassing during choir when dr goh made the 4 of us do the warm-up exercises while the rest listened. gosh.
oh wells, choir ended half an hour earlier.
met shijia at the bus stop. it was raining la. wanted to go marche, but that girl wasn't that hungry. so went to taka instead. ate at a pasta cafe.
walked around, then went to wheelock place and we ended sitting at the chairs that were provided. talked about what's going in our lives, loyang sec, blah blah blah. enjoyed the times with her.
went back to school to get a book.
came home for a while, heading out for dinner soon.
it's the 27th today!
listening exam this wednesday.
history portfolio submission next week.
harmony project presentation next week.
history project first draft presentation next week.
i am so d-e-a-d.
when i first started doing QT, it was an everyday affair. but now i seem to be able to do it only a few times a week, on the way to school. haiz, this is so bad la. no time for Him. better start to prioritise my stuff. =\
waiting for you to tell me if i'm ready.

i'm suuuuuuper happy for this guy here.
got baptised today!!
really glad u made the right choice.
we rushed down to moulmein coc today.
sang some songs and nic was baptised by his dad.
yup yup. most of soymilk went.
had lunch at united square with some of the citivision youths.
we ate ben and jerry's ice-cream after that. it's nice!
uncle khiaw hui fetched us to sembawang park for the outing.
we had to pair up to complete our tasks. something like scavenger hunt. paired uo with kenneth. we walked around with uncle lucas. then when it was time to go back and assemble back, there wasnt enough helpers to push the folks back. so we had to help. but i got a heavy one. and there were like slopes. uncle pak fook was 'kind' enough to support from the back, literally. haha. but he still helped anyways. and we got suan-ed by him. we as in andris and myself. it's always the both of us who get bullied by them. evil! haha.
everyone was super tired after the whole thing had ended. we took the chartered back to the home. we slept all the way back. poor guys. only 4 of them were left to unload the folks.
uncle patrick drove us back.
i really need to sleep.

don't they look sweet? (this was taken at the wanton stall yesterday)
small-faced jwen.
poor samuel. =(
how do plants taste?
richard. the way he speaks resembles yongrui. lol.
she never ever leaves her house without her eyeliner!
this shows how bored we were during singapore arts scene at asian civilisation museum.
just got home from candice's farewell at shawn's place.
was supposed to meet soymilk at 6. but i reached at 6.40 coz i went to get the photos which i developed.
one suuuuuper good news.
nicholas (the short one) is getting baptised tmr!!! woo-hoo! praise the Lord. i'm really glad for this guy. we'll be going down to moulmein church to witness it tmr! yay! aren't u honoured? =))
anyways, we had dinner at burger king. keith joined us today. he was 'released' from camp on friday. lol. his hair is like all gone. poor thing. haha.
met douglas on the way to shawn's place.
when we reached the function room, most of the youths from pp church were already there. seemed like we 'crashed' their party again.
sang some songs and then came the sharing time. everyone shared about their relationship with dear candice. nicholas tang shared first then he left for another party.
the sharing part lasted till 9+. then we had food. andris and i went to the pool and dipped our feet in. daniel and nic were 'kind' enough to get us to go back in. who knows, they had a motive. my slippers were gone. and i had to walk around bare-footed. evil people.
oh wells, there was some performance put up for candice. didn't know nehemiah was into chinese songs. haha. but their singing was not bad.
had some photo-taking sessions. the guys carried candice and wanted to throw her into the pool. but before she got thrown in, shawn was thrown first. lol. poor shawn. they didn't exactly 'throw' candice in. it was more like putting her into the pool. so gentle with her. haha.
hitched a ride from grace. got home at 11+.
gotta be in church early tmr. i'll go to sleep now. =)
guess i'll just forget abt it.

i have suuuuper a lot phobias (what kind of english is this?)
i'm scared of cockroaches!! it's SUPER scared those kind.
just last night, this evil cockroach chose to fly into my room at 11+pm. fly in but dunno how to fly out. how dumb they are. evil things.
practically i'm scared of anything that's not human. it sounds bimbotic can.
wadeva. at least lizards run when they see humans, but cockroaches?!? they are super cunning, they will 'charge' at you. they fly past you like it's their territory, when it's actually my house.
that cockroach occupied my room, while i was stuck outside in the living room for an hour! in the end i slept with my mum. dangs. i didn't even turn off my laptop till this morning. sorry if you msned me last night and i didn't reply. lol.
i got paranoid so easily this morning. anything small that flew past, will shock me.
ever since the mission trip, i'm really glad to have this bunch of friends. can be serious and crazy at the same time. it's through them that i grew spiritually stronger. i'll never forget u guys! lol. =))
i've a phobia of getting into a relationship probably due to the last one. oh wells, hope i'll overcome this phobia soon enough. dangs.
i'm afraid of heights, i'm afraid of making mistakes, etc. etc. rahs, just carry on with life.
God will provide.
this is such a crappy entry pls.
missed citivision cell today. better rest if not how to go for candice's farewell at shawn's place tmr. thx for your concern aaron! best friend..haha =>

thursdays are my free-iest days now. i only have harmony tutorial from 9-10.
watched a movie at the library with jwen this afternoon. some hong kong show. it was not bad. sweet ending. no, i didn't taste it, weikang.
went to heeren to join samuel and weikang. ate at the wanton noodle stall.
then we walked to taka. it was super embarrassing can. weikang and samuel started apologising to each other in public, running up the escalator. dots.
couldn't find the notebook that i wanted.
we walked around orchard. walked to some wulu place, somewhere near hard rock cafe. then our legs couldnt take it, so we looked for a place to rest.
we went to the starbucks but it was quite packed, so we left. then we went to coffee bean at forum but the drinks there aren't that good, so we left again. we finally settled for secret recipe. ordered our drinks and read some mags. samuel shut his eyes for a while. jwen ordered a cheesecake and i took a bite.
we left at about 6+. all of us were super tired. but i still had to go back to sch to get my bag. when our bus came we rushed for seats. jwen tried going down but weikang pulled her back. she finally got off at dhoby ghaut. we told her that something was missing from her bag. are u still looking for it? lol.
samuel and i walked to school. weikang joined us after a while. got my bag and the 3 of us left.
took bus 80. thank God it came quickly. slept throughout the bus ride.
aural's work is again not done.
gotta find info on storyboard for history tmr.
harmony work is in a mess. mr yap asked for corrections. dangs.
history and analysis portfolios not completed.
concert attendance portfolio haven't started at all.
singapore arts scene portfolio also left untouched.
oh gosh!!! how how how. the due date for history is 2 weeks from now. dots dots dots. i'm so dead. not forgetting projects...rahs!!! school is horrible.

was on my way to school when i remembered i haven't printed photos for the thais. so instead of going for lecture, i went to look for somewhere to print the photos. it was like 9.30 and none of the shops were opened yet. but i finally got them printed at sunshine. went to class with nuzli at 10. we were so late. samuel was even later. didn't concentrate again.
after lecture, i rushed to the airport since aunt sayang was coming back today. baby breanna's back. she's super adorable and hyper-active! and she's one of the most sociable babies i've come across.
went to meet daniel and kevin at burger king after that. they left with candice and it was left with benedict and myself. we waited for nicholas and shawn. went to terminal 1 to meet the thais and had our lunch there. sheena and douglas came as well. then i got a shock to see the sec sch soymilkians there. andris, aaron, nicholas, shermaine and grace all rushed down from school.
the thais checked in at 2+. and we took alot of pics.
but since blogger is so slow, i only uploaded a couple. lol.
the browns =))
P' Robert and jeremy!
then we decided to take both nicholas.
look at their height difference!!!
to the shorter one, i hope you'll be like the tall one in 5 years' time. LOL. haha. it was super funny.
the thais went in at 3+. nuch and oan cried. argh. it was super saddening. haiz. praying hard that i can visit u guys in november!!!
after that, sheena, shermaine, douglas, nicholas, shawn and i rushed to take the skytrain. all of us were running super late. sheena & sherm had a meeting at mediacorp. douglas had to meet someone, nic and shawn followed him. i was SUPER late for class. not only did i not attend sight-singing, i was 15 mins late for methods of analysis despite taking a cab down. the cab driver talked throughout the journey, i got confused talking to him. he asked about christianity. but i couldn't really understand or reply since he was speaking in chinese.
oh wells, again i didn't concentrate during lesson. even went out to get food. gosh! lesson ended before 6. but i had plenty of time since i only had to be at bedok at 7.30. went to bugis with jwen and nuzli. just then daniel called me. since he had nth on as well, he came down to bugis and we went to mos burger for a drink. before that i called douglas up thinking they might still be at tampines. who knows. they were all at paradiz centre playing games. they asked me to join them for dinner. but i had cell. so daniel went with them instead.
got home at 11. i can finally have a good rest. even though it was ultra tiring, the time and effort spent were all worth it!! yupz!!!
i really miss the times we had together!! this saturday's candice's farewell at shawn's house. yay!

for the past 2 days, i practically just 'showed' my face in school. totally no mood to go to school. argh! like yesterday, i even pon-ned commuter to go sentosa with the group.
i've been rushing everywhere. rushed until it totally took away wadeva strength i'm left with. met them for lunch since daniel told me that they're in orchard. rushed down at around 1+. the guys then went to orchard while the girls shopped around bugis. took oan to tecman to get some cards. then i realised i was running late for ps. so we rushed back to bugis and then i rushed back to school. the distance from bugis to school is like..so far can.
ps ended at 4.10. i was super late. supposed to meet shermaine and aaron at 4.15. by the time i reached bugis it was already 4.20. they waited for me and we took the train to go to tiong bahru to meet the rest.
everyone came and we went to candice house. woot, titan, robert were already there. soymilk had almost full attendance except for kenneth and sheena. kenneth's sick, sheena has exams tmr.
we then took turns to give candice words of encouragement.
to this pretty girl here.
we only knew each other in november last year. yet, you are like a big sis to us. from the times we had in bangkok to those in chiangmai. without you and your advices, suggestions, encouragements, we wouldn't have bonded together. during our small talks on the trip, you were always there to help us in a spiritual way. it's through you that i grew spiritually strong. you are really good at initiating a relationship with anyone. always the first to approach. can be serious and fun. a real good role model for all of us. you'd pull us aside if you sensed that we had any problems.
it's really an encouragement to all of us. even though u'll be away for 5 years, we will never forget and i'm sure u wun.
i'm gonna miss you a lot!!
well, for those who aren't going to the airport tmr, tonight's the last time to see the thais. i will go tmr, even if i have to sacrifice some time. it's like when u guys leave, we dunno when we're gonna see each other again.
bay joined us tonight. the chengdoi youths will be leaving for malaysia super early tmr morning. there's no way we can send u guys off. hurhur. i almost cried. oh my gosh la. luckily shermaine was around.
most can't go to the airport tmr coz of school. haiz, praying hard i'll have enough time to rush from sch to airport and then back to sch again.
wednesdays are such busy days. goodness!
on top of that i got a yellow card from mr yap today! this is so sickening. nafa is ultra strict. irritating.

they're looking for jiani's 'funny' bone. once u hit it, it sends a tingling feeling to the fingers, like it got electrocuted. she's smiling so sweetly, guess it's hard to find.
oh wells, back to today. i couldn't wake up in the morning. was 15 mins late for class. went to class without breakfast. was starving so we went out to get some food and drinks. i couldn't concentrate during lesson.
choir was up next. dr goh went crazy today. haha. it was hilarious. we did lamb of god then i believe. a bit weird to sing lamb of god with the drum. anyways, both conductors felt that we didn't have the 'feel' of the music in us. so we had to 'rap' the lyrics. it was super super funny. dr goh and his antics. lol.
choir ended 15 mins earlier.
called kevin up. they whole group of them were still in moulmein church. so i took bus 65 with jobyna to orchard. she got off at dhoby ghaut to meet rafael. then daniel told me they were having lunch at meridien shopping centre the food court. yupz, we had thai food! it was good! real thai food.
we walked down towards orchard. the guys (titan, woot, eddie, kevin, kenneth) settled down at starbucks while the rest of us (suting, oan, nuch, veron, me and daniel the only guy) went down to heeren. took neo-prints and walked around. daniel then brought suting to sengkang to meet her friend. the rest of us went back to starbucks at around 3+. shawn and the 2 nicholas (1 from pp church, the other from soymilk) were already there.
i left for school after that. didn't stay for performance class. went off to meet the group again at chinatown. grace came along as well. walked around chinatown, but they didn't get anything.
we managed to get some pics on how people eat ice-cream by the roadside.
look at nicholas. enjoying his ice-cream.
competing with oan, see who eats finish first. well in the end, oan finished hers first.
they dripped ice-cream all over the ground. tsk tsk. lol.
then we took the train and went to harbour front. waited for cheryl, bay, jeremy, etc.
so while waiting, we started taking more photos.
woot.
pretty oan.
woot acting...
all thx to daniel, my face turned out like that.
now for the nice one with shawn.
when they all arrived, we made our way to the bus station. faith and benedict joined us. we took the bus and went to sentosa.
walked to the musical fountain and watched the 7.40 show, Magical Sentosa. i liked the colours they used. very pretty. the laser effects were great. but we got a little wet since we were seated at the 3rd row. the show lasted 25 mins.
after that was back to more taking of photos.
this is the other nicholas (the tall, dark and handsome one, right candice?)
haha. he's so tall that makes me seem so short la. =\
faith. it's been a while since i saw her. =)
more photos on the train ride home.
oan. su ting. eunice.
oan and nuch trying to balance. lol.
ok, there're more pictures, but it's coming to 1. i'm getting sleepy.

eudora n i were both late for aural! thank God, yohanna was in a good mood.
she went through some exercises and asked me to sing one of them. had a not-so-good throat in the morning probably due to last night. so i sang like an octave lower. again she gave 4 pages of work.
we had history tutorial at the library. apparently dr kan thinks we do not have enough work. she gave us more group work. gosh la. with all the projects, portfolios and the due dates nearing, how to cope?
oh wells, we managed to get the video tape (mind you, it's not vcd/dvd, but tape!) of fidelio. watched it in the library. there were no subtitles, everything's in german. we almost fell asleep watching it. it's an interesting opera to read, but when it comes to the singing part, having subtitles will be a great help. but, poor us. throughout the whole time, we didn't understand a single bit. we've tried looking for the vcd/dvd, but to no avail. so we've gotta make do with the tape.
we were slightly late for singapore arts scene. no going out today. so at the start of the lesson, all 5 of us went out, on the pretext of going to the toilet. but actually, we went to look for dr kan to return the tape to her. so we took quite a while to return back to class. and when we entered the recital hall, there was quite a commotion. dr tan was taking attendance and each time she called our classmates said, 'toilet'.
since we were sitting at the back, she asked us to move to the front. but instead of calling our names, she called us the toilet girls. dangs la.
well, she showed us photos of old singapore. lesson ended at abt 3+. slacked around in school since i wasn't meeting boonkeng that early. tried the flute again. but i'm lousy at it. i just can't seem to blow properly. oh wells, maybe brass is better for me. lol.
jwen and i left at the same time. took the bus down to suntec. he was already waiting for me. sorry la, didn't know u'll be that early. singapore food fest was a disappointment. nothing much there.
wanted to go to heeren to get neoprints. but this idiot here refused. fine. we went all the way down and he told me he didn't want. anyways, we walked down to far east. but when we were around wheelock, we were too tired to carry on walking. went to the birkenstock shop at wheelock. it was crowded. the selection there is limited. oh wells, kinda disappointing. anyways, i'm trying to get aunt sayang to get them for me from the States. it'll be great, hopefully it's cheaper there. and she's coming back to singapore soon, in 5 days' time. dunno if there's enough time. =\
otherwise, we gotta get grace to buy for us from Czech Republic in June. but june's like so long from now.
took bus 7 with boonkeng. it took like half an hour to arrive. i dropped off at dhoby ghaut. reached home at around 8.
had a call just now. it's like so coincidental la. didn't know we had the same thinking. cool. lol.
tmr's gonna be a long day. but i'll enjoy it!! the thais are finally coming down. the long awaited day! yay!!!

i finally know how to 'buzz'.
i look weird playing the trumpet.
tried the flute. but i'm a total goon at this. can't even blow properly. at one point, i 'buzzed' into the flute. jwen was laughing her head off. fine.
sihan snatched the trumpet from me. evil. lol.
but finally, we decided to remain as pianists. my mouth felt buzzy after playing the trumpet.
we went to have a bite after all the fooling around. went to eat beancurd. then we made our way to the donut shop. but before that, we passed by burlington square and we decided to take the lift up to the apartments. (it's where richard adams stays) but there was a security guard there and we have to be residence to be able to enter. so samuel tried his luck. the security guard let us in! lol. the swimming pool was gorgeous. imagine that. gosh! we started taking photos, but the security guard said we're not supposed to be doing so. we went to the tennis court and gym. took more photos there. then we finally left. lol.
went back to school and saw quite a lot of people coming for audition. today's the audition for music (teaching). there was a guitarist who came for audition. jwen n i saw him at the bus stop. but he was smoking away. yucks.
mum called earlier asking if i brought enough money with me. didn't tell her i was going out earlier on, so didn't bring enough cash out. she came down to orchard and gave me money. lol.
i was late. supposed to meet candice at 3. but i reached at 3.30 instead. cheryl was already there. andris joined us at 4. then we went to far east to meet sheena and sherm. we couldn't find the neoprint shop. so we walked down to the heeren. will upload them soon! =))
heard about the pj trip from them. a pity i couldn't go. candice left at around 6. there was still time before we met the guys. so we went to the coffee club and had fondue and mud pie. the mud pie was heavenly!
more like the remains of what we had eaten. lol.
sheena and shermaine enjoying their food. =))
took a bus down to esplanade to meet daniel, aaron, kenneth, kevin and joan (a youth from pj) we had dinner at makansutra. we ordered food and shared. walked around and we met jasmine. then there was a performance at 9 at the concourse. went to watch that. there was a crowd.
then i remembered my ps and aural books were still in school. so i wanted to go back and get them. sheena, shermaine, kevin, kenneth and aaron came along since they all stay in the east and they wanted to take a look at nafa. they said nafa's cool. i was like HUH?! u guys dunno wad's life like here. with all the homework. gosh. brought them around. then we heard someone playing the piano in one of the classrooms. they peered in. darius was inside practising. so we went in and listened. lol. he was practising for the competition. his playing has improved. =) sheena and shermaine were captivated! lol.
we left at around 10. walked to bugis. since they were all taking the same train, i took as well. all the way to pasir ris. thank God, dad called me and said he's waiting for me at pasir ris. so i managed to reach home at 11+.
just received aaron's msg. so sweet. thanks loads! =)) yes, tmr will be a blessed day.
i brought my aural book hope, with the intention of doing my work. but it seems that fatigue is taking over. so dun think i'll be doing. lol. it's 1.20 now. i took like one hour to blog! all thx to the photos.

dr kan gave us the due dates for our portfolios.
history - 6th Apr (that's like 3 weeks time pls!)
analysis - 20th Apr
i haven't even exactly started on any. gosh. i'm so screwed.
plus we still have to do concert attendance portfolio. apparently the school thinks we do not have enough work to do. there's gonna be a listening exam with questions based on the platforms and recital series which we attend. somehow they found out that we don't usually listen attentively when we attend these platforms. but pls can, we've got MORE than enough work.
brass players played for platform today. jwen and the other girls were busy taking down notes. i just recorded the pieces that were played. hopefully i'll listen to them before that listening exam.
my head felt like it was spinning after platform. went for donuts with them. the honey dip is yummy-licious. =))
sight-singing at 3. dr goh was in a good mood. we went through some exercises. he tested our intonation. well, it wasn't that bad. then came the rhythmic part. there's this particular one which had weird rhythms. 3 against 2. it's hard to clap. he got the percussionists to clap them. their sense of rhythm's good! lol.
methods of analysis was next. this is worse than history. the amount of notes to copy, u wouldn't want to know.
we were supposed to bring a classical sonata to analyse today. but i forgot mine. so i had to use dr kan's score. by the time it was 6, jwen n i left without finishing our work. *oops* we didn't get our results for the exam. but she told us in the morning that we passed. wasn't sure if she mentioned that i passes. oh wells, i'll just hand in one analysis work tmr and hopefully she gives me my results.
the train ride home was as usual boring. thank God i had a seat.
for no reason, i started reminiscing about the past. the times we had in sec school. hanging out after lessons, ponning tutorials. then the times i had in thailand. how i miss them!
but now, i'm stuck here, attend lectures, practise, trying to get my work done, blah blah blah. that's life for me. oh wells, wad to do.
soymilk will be back at midnight today. pray that they'll have a safe trip back. =)
meeting candice tmr. andris' going as well. the other girls have yet to confirm.
meeting boonkeng on friday! going for the food fest.
saturday's coming!! yay! can't wait! it's the only time i get to relax..
off to do my analysis work. reality, how i dread it. =(

mr yap went through modulation today. we had to discuss in our tutorial groups on one of the questions. then the leaders of each group had to draw lots. our group kenna. but julia went up to do the questions instead of zhen qiang since she got most of the chords already. lol.
went for lunch near school. charmaine went for class, jobyna went out, dora went to her 'kampong', jwen n i went to suntec after eating. we shopped around. jwen bought a blouse. then we continued shopping at marina square. tried on a few skirts at mango. but didn't buy any. a pair of knee-length white-coloured shorts caught dear jwen's attention. haha. think she's going back there to get it. lol.
went to zara after that. wanted to try a few clothes, but the air-con was super strong, it was freezing cold, so didn't try. went to miss selfridge. but there was nothing much. disappointing. topshop had nothing much. guess was not any much better. went to look for footwear. couldn't find anything. haiz. today's not my shopping day.
jwen bought her friend's present from precious thots. went to the wallet shop. they sell casings for mp3 players. so i tried to fit mine in. who knows, my mp3 got stuck. it's made of leather and metal. so there's no way i could get it out. asked the salesgirl for help. she managed to get it out after quite a while. oh wells, it was embarrassing enough.
there's a creative outlet at marina as well. saw the earphones. it matches my player. orange in colour. lol. but didn't get them. bought stick-ons instead. 2 of them. black and green. pretty. =))
then i realised i was running super late for ps. it was already 3.15 and yet i was still at the bus stop. fyi: my ps is at 3.15. called ms yew and she asked me to try and get back as soon as i can.
got off the bus at sunshine plaza. was crossing the road and almost got knocked down by a car. the driver is so impatient la. it was still green man for goodness sake!!! irritating.
nuz passed me my ps books at the 5th floor and i rushed to the studio. amy was inside alone. haha. ms yew thought i'd be super late so she went to the toilet. dangs.
oh wells, i onl had half and hour's lesson today. she only went through the brahms intermezzo.
wanted to eat donuts after that. but the donuts could only be ready at 5. that was like an hour later. so went to eat muffins with nuz instead. when we went back to the donuts stall at around 5, the guy told me i had to wait another 20 mins. haha. didn't want to wait. so i went to bugis to take 80 while nuz went back to sch. the bus ride was so long.
reached home at 7.
it's 9.41 now. going back to my tv.
ciao =))

i lost 'it' when i received that sms. the waiting period was terrible. i couldn't concentrate during lesson.
walked around bugis. many thoughts went through my mind. the times we had together. wondered how the others will take the news while there're up in PJ.
i felt better in the later afternoon. but another sms came. this time it's abt my bro. as i said before, he's been sick for more than a week now. the blood test he took on saturday wasn't good. low white blood count. plus he's under weight. it's a bad sign.
he went for another test today. it's even worse. both white and red blood count are low.
white - 3/14
red - 13/41
platelets - 140/440
please God, let nothing happen to him. he's my only brother.
he has to go for another test on friday. low blood count can lead to leukemia.
slept through piano performance. my eyes felt heavy.
weikang walked like a lame person today. he injured his leg. heard that he fell during choir. and he took me for some telephone operator/social worker. he called me and all i heard was some ppl screaming in pain from acupuncture. dangs. anyways, recover soon =))
walked around bugis and bought a ring.
came home after that.
there's this frame hanging on my wall. usually i'll just walk past it. but this morning, it caught my attention.
a very common phrase yet meaningful.
God will make a way, where there seems to be no way.
He works in ways we cannot see,
He will make a way for me.
i pray that You will, God.

the emotions were high. especially when the youths were singing. we broke down. many people came to church. peisi jie came as well. it's been a while since i last saw her. hope she'll continue to come every week. peiting jie cried throughout. they knew each other for 17 years. it's inevitable.
the results will turn out fine, i hope.
i thought of ponning sch tmr. but he wun want to see me do that. so i guess i'll just wait in school for someone to sms me the results. will i be able to take it? i dun wan to break down in school.
argh! this is terrible. most of us wun want tmr to come.
on a lighter note. i can't wait for thursday, saturday and sunday to come.
meeting candice on thursday. girls outing with her. yay!
the thais will finally be coming on saturday. our youth assembly at pp church.
sunday's the day! combined worship, followed by fellowship planned by the thais and lastly devo! strictly soymilk + thais! double yay!!!

issac drove us to bukit timah hill.
reached at 7.
waited for everyone to arrive.
and we started...
the hike was tiring.
it took away all my strength.
the 100 steps, i'll remember.
the monkeys were violent.
they snatched the bread from our bags.
and they fought among one another.
tsk tsk.
bro's still sick.
had a blood test taken.
low white blood count.
pray that it's not serious.
fell alsp the min my head touched the pillow.
i'm exhausted.
my muscles will start to ache.
bought a charm bracelet.
it's pretty.

there's aural test today and yet i'm still late. and when i reached little india, i had to wait another 10mins for the bus to arrive. gosh la! what's wrong with all the buses? either they don't come, or when they come, there are so many of them. sickening.
jwen called me when i was in the bus. yohanna was asking if i'm reaching. thank God she was in a good mood. i ran all the way to class la. and when i reached, everyone started to clap. dangs. and there wasn't any seat left for me. weikang asked me to sit outside. how dumb. in the end i sat beside williana.
the test was argh! the rhythmic dictation was horrible. i couldn't get it even though she played like 4 times. the melodic was fine except for a few mistakes at the last bar. well, just hope i can pass.
had laksa for lunch with charmaine, jwen, jobyna and eudora.
after that charmaine, jwen and i went to nafa library to watch movies. but there weren't any rooms available. so jwen and i took mags and went to the back of the library to read and..eat. we bought snacks. the last time we ate tomatoes, we didn't know we had to wash them first, until we realised it's quite dirty. yucks. anyways, the tomatoes were cold already, then jwen washed them with the water-cooler water which was even colder. so the tomatoes turned icy. went we ate them, they were so hard. lol.
we left at 1.30 to meet jobyna and eudora at the bus stop. we were supposed to go to fort canning park for arts scene today. the walk from funan to mica centre was so freaking far can. plus the super hot weather. we ended up getting ourselves drinks and food before we even reached. most of them were already waiting. then when everyone was there, we went up to fort canning park.
the stairs there were the worst! so many of them. most of us were already panting after the 2nd flight of steps. and we were perspiring like mad. argh! why did they have to put those sculptures up there. oh wells, we managed to climb like 5/6 flights of steps before we finally reached. almost everyone started fanning themselves when we reached. and at least the exhibition place had air-con. but the not-so-good part, we had to go out into the open to carry on looking at the other sculptures. the climate out there was terrible. samuel borrowed my umbrella. lol.
sas ended before 3. we had to climb the stairs back down.
jwen n i then went to cityhall. shopped around, looking for boxes. i found mine at prints. jwen couldn't get hers.
oh wells, i'm super tired now. how to go hiking tmr? i've lost all my stamina. darn.

mr yap: 'evan why are u late?'
me: 'huh, erm i woke up late.'
mr yap: 'how can like that, next time when u teach how u going to tell your students?'
i was like dangs, how m i supposed to answer that? oh wells, he asked me to start doing my work. we just did some exercises and he corrected them for us. tutorial ended 10 mins earlier.
went to meet mum at isetan scotts. they were have a private sale. as usual, mum always goes for their private sales. it was so crowded by the time i reached. all those tai-tais are so free. when it came to lunch time, it was even worse.
only bought a wallet, a watch and some accesories. the clothes were in a mess, didn't have the mood shop. mango was even worse.
went to tangs after that. seed didn't have the stuff i wanted. they've changed their collection, not my type. mum took a cab home and she dropped me off at campus 1.
went to nafa library to look for jwen, weikang and fairul. the tv in the discussion room was on, but they were all concentrating what was showing on the laptop. fairul brought the 'brokeback mountain' dvd. and he was super noisy, being his usual stuff. weikang kept asking him to shut up. haha.
fairul had brass class at 2. but he left the library at 2. so he was late. all because he was so glued to that movie.
the movie that was showing on the tv was some lame chinese one. it was dumb seeing the cast behaving so weird-ly.
we left the library at 2+. went back to sch coz i thought jwen left her aural book in the locker. but the one in the locker wasn't hers. hers was already at home.
we went to the long john at bugis. then went to this 'trendy zone' opposite bugis junction. the place had 6 levels. and since they only had a lift and stairs, we took the lift to the 6th floor. it was a super small place. the space that each shop had could only fit a max of 4 people or maybe 3. then we had to take the stairs down to the next level. the stairs are super eerie. like those you see in hong kong drama serials, their 'hdb' flats' stairs. the stairs were very narrow and it felt hollow. i had to endure this 5 times!
then we walked around bugis since jwen wanted to look for accesories. but she couldn't find anything she liked. so we went to eat. at long john AGAIN.
i took a bus home after that. jwen was supposed to take the mrt home, but apparently she got tempted to shop somemore. lol.
i dozed off in the bus, was super tired. the bus journey seemed so long.
just when i was walking home, mum told me she'd be going to compass point for dinner. so i had to walk back to the bus stop. and i met them there. aaron hasn't been going to school for almost a week. he had been having this on-and-off fever thingy since monday. that's the problem with my family, we fall sick once in a long long time. but the minute we fall sick, we take a long time to recover.
i fell ill in december and took more than a week to recover. mum fell ill on the first day of chinese new year. hers was terrible, she went to the docs twice and recovered 2-3 weeks later. dad ar, he hasn't fallen that ill recently. (i'm not cursing him la)
received a phone call when i was on my way home.
it really irks me to see people taking friends forgranted. when they need you, they get all close to you and stuff. but when they don't, they give you 'that' attitude. it's as if you've somehow offended them without your knowledge. it's like when they're not happy about certain stuff, they just go away like that. thinking that you'll be there for them no matter what. pls, if you think that's wad friendship is about, i'd rather not have it. friends are not your possession, you don't control them.

Wednesday, March 8 ; 11:55:00 PM♥
to start off, i forgot to bring my hp out. then i was late for school. was trying to cramp some analysis stuff into my brain, but it just wun enter. what was i doing last night? i blogged, watched tv from 9-10, then i went to bed. it was only till this morning did i realise that jwen called me at 10+ last night.
there was this lady around 50+ who started chanting some stuff while listening to her walkman. it was so high-pitched can, i could still hear it even though i was listening to my mp3.
we didn't have much notes to copy for history today (surprisingly!) she gave us pictures and we had to fit them to their titles. she made us move around today. oh wells, at least we didn't have to do any copying.
went for lunch at the nasi-lemak stall. then we went to nafa library to mug for methods of analysis exam.
yes, i only managed to go through binary and ternary forms.
then we went for platform. i was so tired that i fell asleep from the 1st item to the last. waking up occasionally to clap. ya i know, it's mean.
went back to nafa library to continue mugging. but this time, nothing seemed to go in. so jobyna and i went to eat muffins. jwen, weikang and fairul joined us a while later.
sightsinging at 3. supposed to have test today. we did some warm-ups then started singing ezekial and deep river. dr goh separated the guys and they had to sing on their own while the sops and altos sat down. dr goh then asked fei yang to sing to him again tmr, since he couldn't be heard. so when it came to the climax of deep river, feiyang sang super loudly. it was hilarious.
we sang a birthday song for yikki. it's his 20th birthday. =)
m.o.a. exam was TERRIBLE. i'm gonna flunk it.
the 1st qn was score-reading a bach prelude. i actually dozed off while reading it. jwen thought i was busy writing stuff. dangs. we spent 1 hr on the first qn.
the 2nd score was a mozart keyboard piece. it was ok, except that i mis-counted the bars and had to keep on changing it.
rondo form and ritornello form came out! i didn't even study that, only glanced through. i concentrated only on binary and ternary forms. i'm like so dead can. argh! which idiot invented such a thing called exams, tests, etc. they are all horrible stuff!
was sitting next to fairul during the exam. it was funny seeing him get a bit irritated since his papers kept dropping.
went for dinner at pasir ris. reached home at around 11+.
why do some people look at stuff through tinted lenses? just because someone made a mistake once, does it mean he has to be condemned? like come on? it's not as if you dun make mistakes.
God made us in such a way, everyone makes mistakes, but He wants us to learn from it and not to repeat it. most importantly is to learn to seek forgiveness.
but condemning him, you'll only cause him to fall deeper.
