yes, i'm talking about the piano. today's such a busy day. first the air-con guy came, then my piano was sent, had to go school and finally my grandma's place.
going to school was a total waste of time i tell u. attended masterclass at 4 with jwen. there were only a handful of us. i think her name's mrs lim.
she's super super demoralising. throughout the one and a half hours or so, we only heard negative comments. she didn't praise anyone! oh my gosh!
and to make it worse, she changed practically everyone's style of playing when exam's like next week? dots pls.
wasn't too pleased with her.
she's local but spoke with an american accent. oh wells, i have no idea where she's from.
ate and then practiced till about 6.30 before leaving for tampines. jwen was going to church.
had dinner then went to grandma's place. most of the cousins went except cindy-jie and boonkeng. mr foo, u unfilial guy!!! haha..joking =))
church tmr. we gotta get breakfast for the church, i gotta serve, sheena and sherm's coming, there's soccer practise after church, blah blah blah.

western percussion was fun. mr yeo's really nice. if only he's the aural teacher. cool right. 8 bars rhythmic dictation played about 24 times, 2 bars at a time. where to find this kinda teacher, isn't it?
no more percussion for year 2. brass studies instead.
today marks the end of academic exam. left with principal study on tuesday.
there's a masterclass for moe ppl tmr at 4pm. anyone wants to play? come tmr.
was back home at 5. so early la. there's no practise room available so came home to practice. it's always like that when ps exam is nearing. oh wells.
my blog entries are getting boring as the days go by. i only talk abt school stuff.
this is getting monotonous. and yes, i've been having this recurring dream recently, always about the same person. weird huh?
thought for the day: imagine me, evangeline, teaching in a secondary school.

3 questions in all. one s.a.t.b. and 2 analysis.
had lunch with weikang jwen and fairul at jack's place. oh my gosh. all of them were so crappy pls. especially weikang.
right, i practically spent the whole day with the 3 of them.
we ate a few times, crapped a whole lot, blah blah blah.
the access course people are doing a petition for andy in hope that the school will reconsider his application. so if you guys wanna write, just look for qinglun.
the year 3s had their photo-taking today at the open space of 4th floor. jwen n i were like the camera people. all of them gave us their cameras and weikang was the camera stand. haha. they are a bunch of real fun people. oh wells, they're graduating very soon. all the best in their future endeavours. =))
did lots of things today, but just can't seem to recall all of them.
oh wells, it's aural and percussion exam tmr. the final two academic ones.

it's compulsory to attend the weekly Music Platforms and Commuter Concerts every other week. they think we don't listen, so they came up with such an exam. dumb la. but the good part, we're allowed to bring in the pamphlets.
got to school at 12 today. fairul was kind enough to let us photocopy his stack of pamphlets. went for lunch with joby while sihan and yongrui photocopied 4 sets of the pamphlets.
the funny thing was they stayed in the shop for an hour. christoven fairul and i waited outside the recital hall for them. they came back at 1.10pm. exam started at 1. dots. dr kan didnt say anything. weikang was so irritating, kept asking me for pamphlets at the wrong time. and when he's done, he stuffed the papers to me while i was writing. evil. haha. anyways, this is such a nonsense exam pls.
finished the paper at 2. joby and jwen left way earlier. ate at bk with jwen fairul samuel mark and nuz. we crapped a lot at bk..dots..
had ps rehearsal at 3.45. practised till 4.15. today's such a tiring day. no mood to do anything.
just came home from dinner at pasir ris. super tired. haven't started studying for harmony. dangs.
was reading angel's blog. yes, maths seem so difficult now. i can't even help my brother with sec 1 maths. dots la. not as if i left sec sch for a long time..yet simple equation i can't even do.
oh wells, studies now are all about history, notes, and all the music stuff...
more vocabulary today:
6. jwenation
7. jwenissimo (this sent us into peals of laughter. y? imagine playing a piece in jwenissimo.)
8. jwenner
9. jwenition
10. jwenalysis
we came up with all these at bk. study them slowly, there's a hidden meaning behind every one of them. haha.

actual word: jwen
1. you are jwenified.
2. she's jwenifying you.
3. you are under the jwenification category
4. a jwenology (new theory)

oh yes! i finally completed ALL my portfolios. i think i'm one of the worst music teaching students ever. my work's all overdue. dangs.
by the time i reached sch, it was already 1+. all the dilly-dallying.
the printing shop was so quiet today. had my stuff printed and binded. went back to sch, dr kan went home for lunch, wanted to practise. but my practise room was used by andy and his teacher. it was already 2 by then. ended up in the com lab and amy reminded me about the attendance card for ps. gosh. i forgot mine again la.
rushed down to the 4th floor but they were all out for lunch.
had a drink at the prata stall with sihan and andy. wanted to practise before ps but natalia booked that room. things dun seem to go right today.
got my attendance printed again and went for ps. 2 hrs of lesson today.
i'm so dead, some of the pieces have not been memorised. and ps exam is like next tuesday?
i'm left with one more lesson so since ms yew's so busy, she scheduled my lesson to next tuesday at 1pm. 2hrs before the exam, how great. but do i have a choice? oh wells.
ate again at the prata stall with nuz and fhairil. poor fhairil, the office lost his sas portfolio and he had to print another one again. helped him with the high-lighting till 6.
back home now. concert attendance exam today. so crappy la. unnecessary exam.
ps rehearsal at 3+ tmr.
and jwen, if u were the one who reminds me of that dream, i'd rather quit school. hahaha. =))

Monday, April 24 ; 9:11:00 PM♥
woke up at 7+ and did 2 analysis scores. 6 more to go. the due date is today, but the other portfolios are more important.
went to the printing shop the first thing i reached school. oh my gosh, the crowd there is beyond words. everyone wanted to print, photocopy, bind and wadeva that has got to do with portfolios. got my harmony portfolio binded and by then jobyna and jwen had already reached. mr yap has such high expectations. dividers are to be put in, but they are not supposed to protrude out if not it's 'not professional anymore'. dots.
did corrections over lunch with jwen joby and williana.
the submission time was 12pm-1pm. and of course mr yap doesnt expect late submission. so the 6th floor was filled with people. some had to run to the printing shop several times to get their portfolios properly done.
12pm came and i submitted mine. the queue grew longer and longer.
still had concert attendance and performance portfolios not submitted. but the problem? we had to wait till 4pm then will they accept our portfolios. some kind of timing. went out of school several times today, to eat, drink, and accompany people to print their stuff. jwen had ps today.
access course peeps are the 'free-iest' people today since they have no work to do at all. they wanted to play dota and tried dragging jwen and i there. but it was almost 4, so we went to eat instead.
we submitted both portfolios at the 4th floor to edward. but who knows after handing them in, someone told us that concert attendance was to be handed in to dr kan at the 6th floor. dangs.
we ran down to get back the portfolios and rushed to C6-22. the year 2s and 3s were also handing in their work there.
yes i mentioned i had to hand in analysis portfolio today. but it's not even half-done. so i handed in the concert attendance one asap hoping that dr kan wouldn't remember. she didn't mention anything, but who knows...
i'm having this splitting headache. it hurt when i cough, laugh, sneeze, when i talk too loudly and even when i bend my head. gosh.
got comments like,'who's that talking; evan, u lost ur voice; u sound like a guy; low-voice guy,' blah blah blah.
yup my voice got worse. xu lian also lost her voice.
i can't even eat solid food, no chilli as the spicyness will go to my nose and it's super uncomfortable.
so many restrictions. it sucks.
went to burger king with sam, mark and sihan. they started coming up with weird scenarios of not doing portfolios. it was hilarious. then it started to rain so heavily, the roads outside nafa were flooded. and when cars drove past, water will splash onto the pavement. even the small path connecting nafa and bencoolen square was flooded. one guy had his whole leg in the muddy water. yucks.
stayed in school till 7 to practise. most had already left by then.
analysis portfolio left. gotta finish it by tonight!
ps tmr, haven't memorised the pieces. i'm so dead.
Exams
wednesday - concert attendance
thursday - harmony
friday - aural and western percussion
next tuesday - principal study

had combined cell on thursday. it was wonderful. we all held candles and had to read out passages in the dark. wax got spilled on the chair, on the floor. but it was fun trying our best to read with only that small amount of light.
they played the passion of Christ. the part where Jesus was cruxified.
argh. gruesome. i left before the movie ended. the other youths watched till the end.
went to the temple to pay respects to my grandfather on Friday. he passed away like 7 years ago and this is the 2nd time i went. since only my family went, no one knew exactly how to get to the temple. it's somewhere at Bishan. to make it worst, it was raining. and my poor brother got water splashed at him when this car drove past. lol.
when we got there, we had to look for the plague which had my grandfather's name/pic on it. the plagues were placed in such a way that they were labelled in alphabets. we started from 'A' and only found my grandfather's one at 'L'. dots. all thx to my father's 'wonderful' memory. lol.
then mum started to ask, why didn't we go to where my grandfather's urn was placed. the reason? my dad didn't know where it was placed. so we went to the office to ask the people to check for us. they wanted my grandfather's chinese name. rahs. my dad didn't even know pls.
but somehow they still managed to find it for us. now, another round of looking for it.
so the whole day was spent running around looking at numbers. dots. and of course we shopped at j8. yay!!
had PS at ms yew's house on saturday. oh my gosh! her daughter is so pretty and her son is wow! coz they're mixed blood, plus ms yew's pretty. no wonder.
cell was at nicholas' house. we had dinner at Bedok Food Centre. then we walked a super long way to nic's house. almost everyone went for cell. veron came as well.
cell was awesome. again we had candles each. washed each other's feet. had communion. then we had quiet time. tears just started rolling down. but the feeling was there. i could feel God's presence.
nic's mum bought apple strudels for us. lol. we left at around 10+.
took a bus to pasir ris with the pasir ris people. dad sent me home from there.
aaron's friend, weifeng, came for service on sunday. he came with his sister this time. hope they'll continue to come. dominic and brannon from citivision church came as well.
had lunch-in after bible class. the food was great.
aiya, i think that's about it for the past few days.

reached school at around 12+.
practised a while, had cup noodles at the lounge and we did stupid stuff.
nuz, fairul, aud and i were playing 'truth or dare' in one of the practice studios.
then we played 'chop chilli chop'. first it was in the room. then we went out and sat on the 4 chairs just at the lift lobby. fairul went high and made us run round the 6th floor. sickening can. those who were around were laughing at us la.
dumb dumb.
watched this chinese variety show, 'never say die'. gosh. that steven lim is in that show la. this show really freaked me out. it features those who failed to join competitions like, 'singapore idol, project/campus superstar, blah blah blah.'
some of their singing are still acceptable, the others are like dots. and on top of that, they go to the extend of embarrassing themselves without their own knowledge. dots.
and yes jwen, korean dramas are nice! lol.
just started on singapore arts scene portfolios. found all from the newspapers. got a whole stack of them out and started cutting since last night.
will be going to school later to practise and church at night.

got up, washed up, ate breakfast, watched tv. and by the time i was out of the house, it was 10+. dots.
there were a lot of people in school today. coz most of them had aural class. some were 'running' away from yohanna, probably because of the 'book-checking' thing.
was supposed to eat with samuel and gang. but erm, they left without me. oh wells, so i went to practise. halfway through my practice, someone knocked on the door, twice. the first time i ignored it, thinking it was an accidental knock. but when i went to open the door, i saw this person in BRIGHT pink shirts. it was weikang. he wore 2 pink t-shirts. a lighter one inside, and the bright one outside.
there were so many people wearing pink today.
whenever there's a cd shop, we'll have to pull weikang away from it. when he wants to sit down n play the piano, pull him away too. coz the minute he sits in front of the piano, he refuses to get up. and the harmony line of wadeva he's playing is always broken chords. -_-'''
had lunch with weikang n lynn, since jwen was still at home. she slept till 11+ la. we went to the student lounge. but since there was nothing much to do, fairul, weikang n i went back to the 6th floor. but fairul went off for project.
and finally, my dear jwen came.
we had hot chocolate at sunshine.
fairul n i went to the student affairs to wait for richard, jwen went off for ps.
richard took such a long time to settle his school fees.
then we went to eat again! at sunshine. andy came as well. jwen joined us a while later.
and we started suaning eudora again.
today's such a long day and i seem to have done lots of stuff.
jwen went off to do harmony project. fairul n i went back to school again.
practised a while, and nuzli came and asked us if we wanted to eat.
we ended up at pool junction. met royce and fhairil there.
the way fhairil plays, it's hilarious la. all thx to his mentor! =))
fairul slept throughout.
after that we ate again! this time with samuel, eudora, jwen, fairul, fhairil, charmaine and myself. we ate at the 'tau-huey' stall.
yes, and it was back to school to practise again.
left school around 6+, coming to 7. met jwen at the bus stop.
i'm sleepy already.
harmony lecture tmr. well, it's more like group presentations. ps after that. and later in the night is the concert by peter esswood. heard that the pieces are good. and jwen's going with her mum. so i called joshua along. to think we haven't actually met before, except for combined church services. dots.
oh wells, i'm off to my tv now.

Hence we have "the rule of thumb".
*Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled "Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden"...and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.
*The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred and Wilma Flintstone.
*Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the US Treasury.
*Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better.
*Coca-Cola was originally green.
*It is almost impossible to lick your elbow (except for those who can).
*The average number of people airborne over the US any given hour: 61,000.
*Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.
*The first novel ever written on a typewriter: Tom Sawyer.
*Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king in history:
Spades - King David
Hearts - Charlemagne
Clubs - Alexander, the Great
Diamonds - Julius Caesar
*111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321
*If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle.
If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle.
If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

*In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on.
Hence the phrase......... "goodnight, sleep >tight."
*It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink.
Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.
*In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them "Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down."
It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's".
*Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase inspired by this practice.

next time, i shall meet you at the train station itself. coz this girl here went shopping first before meeting me. evil! i was like a dumbo sitting at gelare waiting la.
we were supposed to be doing mozart concerto at the esplanade. but who knows, we didn't even step into the esplanade. why?
coz the minute jwen came, she told me she got no mood to do work and asked we i wanted to shop. it's like, who can resist the temptation of retail therapy, right?
so well, we walked around citylink. then she wanted to get a present for her bro since it's his birthday. we went to bugis. but instead of looking for the present, we shopped for ours. dots.
then, jwen shouted my name la. i got a shock coz i was looking at stuff. and when i turned, samuel, mark, daniel and fhairil were there.
their orchestra rehearsal just ended and they were on their way to dr goh's place.
fhairil went to bras basah with us, but left a short while later. we went to look for weikang. he was at the 2nd floor, trying out chinese instruments.
we went to this guitar shop, jwen still couldnt get a present for her bro. then we went to another music shop, but to no avail.
instead she got a devotional book from tecman for her bro.
oh yes, weikang disappeared while we were in tecman. he was nowhere to be found and refused to answer our calls. thx for dao-ing us.
we had dinner at sunshine. went back to school to practise. but the rooms were filled with small kids. then some of the rooms had papers stuck at the window and we thought there were ppl in there. but it's actually the doings of our violinists, so that they'd have rooms for themselves.
took bus 65 to grandma's place. grandma said that it's been ages since she last saw boonkeng and me. dots.
i fell asleep just now. bro had to wake me up to go home. dots. i fell asleep again on the way home.

yohanna checked our aural books today. it was so last minute la. she commented that my book was quite empty. and i came up with lame excuses that i did it somewhere and stuff.
it's so obvious that i dun do my work la. someone slap me. dangs.
i was so tired this morning that whenever i yawn, tears started to roll down. dr kan thought that i was crying. dots. and more work to be done. history project and mozart concerto.
apparently she's not too happy with our work.
argh! it's like, there's so much work to be done within this month.why can't they give lesser work?
no exams doesnt mean we have more time for more work.there are other modules to deal with pls.
jwen n i went to get cup noodles while waiting for our mock exam.well, mr yeo said we did fairly ok. we didn't practise enough.
had lunch with jwen at fortune centre.
went to library to watch movie. marrying the mafia.
i ended up sleeping for a while. when i woke up, the show was already 3-quarter shown. dots.
charmaine and gang were also at the library looking for articles.
hardworking group of people. we were supposed to scan our cards for sas today. but we forgot about it.
went to the nasi-lemak stall with jwen, fairul and fhairil. mark and samuel joined us a while later.
on our way back to sch, samuel mentioned that there was some event going on at the lee foundation theatre.
he asked the security guard, he told us the event was over, but there were leftover food.
so samuel literally 'chiong-ed' up can.there was quite a lot of food. so all of them started helping themselves to the food.
u can see who are the hungry ones.
such a big portion...
i poured drinks for all of them. who knows after taking a sip, they all gave me this look...
apparently it was super super sweet. i'm sorry la. not cut out to be a maid. (as wad dunno-who said)
after eating, we started playing the piano while samuel was busy taking photos.
who's jwen thinking of? hmm...
my duet partner! =)
some watch advertisement.
lol. wad's so nice about our feet?
we slacked all the while. samuel left earlier since he had orchestra at the national library.
jwen played 'lamb of god' and stupid fairul and his nonsense antics. he started singing like williana, adding in exaggerated expressions.dots...
went back to school and instead of practising, we started talking in the practice studio. it was dumb la. fairul was so noisy all the while. lol.
had hot chocolate at sunshine with mark fairul and jwen. while we were there, there was this lady shouting at the top of her voice incessantly, in cantonese.she was ranting at her husband. it was so embarrassing la. when we left, she was still at it. gosh!
oh wells, i'm super tired now, after uploading all the pics.meeting jwen at the esplanade tmr to get the mozart concerto done.later in the night, birthday dinner with soymilk since it's andris' birthday, at orchard.

oh wells, here goes.
harmony presentation by 2 groups this morning. yikki's and siewli's.
both on melodic minor. yikki's one was more lecture-like, whereas siewli's one was on games.
yes, their's was 'mix match', using mahjong tiles.
samuel, fairul, jwen and i were asked to do the demo.
overall, it's quite a good presentation. very creative. some technical problems though.
went for lunch with samuel mark and fairul since jwen n dora had harmony project to do. ate at this stall next to the beancurd stall. the food there is authentic - not too bad. better than the one beside school.
printed and binded my history portfolio and handed in to dr kan. it's my first submission, hope it'll be the last. as in, no corrections to do, just leave as it is.
jwen n dora had lunch while i went to the library to look for sam and fairul. both were doing their history work.
we can check our attendance from the self-help system. apparently i've be marked absent so many times. they couldnt read my card even though i already flashed. this kinda technology is such a waste of time. lol. at least they still take manual attendance.
weikang brought us to this small shop at fortune centre. he wanted to get a new pipa since he said his current one didn't sound good. lols.
he tested the first one for like a whole 20mins. then one group of access course ppl came - richard, andy, jason, qinglun. (dunno if i got their names correct).
then weikang tested the second one. in the end, he decided to get the 2nd one.
the group of guys then decided to play some computer game at peace centre. jwen n i ended up going with them. i think it's dota. oh wells, i was so bored that at one point of time, i fell asleep.
then came this group of sec school boys. mine you, i'm using the word boys. coz they are argh! a bunch of childish lot. they started making a lot of noise while playing. wadeva sort of vulgar words came out of their mouths. can't they just shut up. where as the 4 guys (weikang, richard, andy and qinglun) were so quiet la. as wad jwen said, they're silent killers.
we sat there till 4.45. then jwen n i left first, since they were so addicted to the game.
practised again. jwen as usual pang seh me and left school at 6+.
samuel mark and fairul came back from the library at that time. fairul went off for ps. while waiting for him, we practised again.
as time passed by, the same group of access course guys joined us at the practice studio, including sihan.
went to the prata stall to eat. irritating. the drink that i had, came with an insect in it. an ant i think, that had wings. disgusting!
had a change, but i gave it to fairul instead.
we went back to sch. richard practised, the rest of us were at the 6th floor. poor samuel, he's met his match, andy. lol.
since we had nothing to do, we decided to go to the percussion room. but richard wasn't in there. so we went into hiding. but sam and mark got found out by him first. it was so dumb. sihan, fairul and i were hiding in the same place, behind the timpani. dumb dumb.
samuel, fairul, sihan n i left school at around 9.45. but we only got into a cab by 10.30. so pissed la.
reached home at around 11.
somehow did a bit of aural work. it's the last aural lesson for this semester.
okies, enough of this. i'm going to bed.

Wednesday, April 5 ; 7:53:00 PM♥
yet there's still so much work to do.
history presentation this morning.
fidelity to fidelio was the 4th group (the last) to present.
the first few groups took up quite a bit of time.
ours was short.
but dr kan said we went abit wrong.
our definition of a storyboard is different from wad it was meant to be.
so we each have to find out the definition of a storyboard and give it to her by..friday, i think.
we were starving but had to rehearse for platform.
went for lunch at 1145. had to be back by 1220.
i tell you, the number of people as audience was PATHETIC.
the number of performers was much more than the audience can.
dr goh and his antic. even during the concert. lol.
but, overall we did well! *smiles*
it's the last concert for the B.A and year 3 students. we still have a long way to go.
mum came for the concert, even though she's working. =))
went to eat laksa with samuel, mark and jwen.
we crapped as usual.
practised a while before heading to the lounge for harmony project.
we're so lucky to be in natasha's group. she has that thing called initiative. she's a real good leader. lol.
not many people turned up for methods of analysis.
well, the presentation was more lively compared to that in the morning.
haiz, tmr's thursday. dun think i will get enough sleep tonight.
so much work to do! s-t-r-e-s-s-e-d.

Tuesday, April 4 ; 8:41:00 PM♥
went to the com lab to get our history project done. the presentation's tmr. crap.
we spent like 2 hours to get the fonts right, stuff printed and bought.
we only had lunch at 1+. jobyna then went off to the esplanade to borrow the cd.
the 3 of us went back to sch to paste the necessary stuff on our storyboard.
just when we were doing, zheng yi came in and asked us to help them with their project. so we went to the lounge with them. he was dressed up as Bach. there was a whole table of food laid out.
oh wells, wun say so much here. their presentation is in 2 weeks' time.
anyways, it was hilarious. poor dora fell off the chair and landed on her butt while laughing. dots. =))
ps was not good. as usual, more practise.
went to the student lounge to get our history project done.
after all the pasting, colouring and getting our hands dirty.
it's finally done. *phew*
evidence of how stressed i was! lol...
just bought a blouse for tmr's concert. tmr's the day. presentation in the morning, followed by platform. long day.
thursday's coming......

Monday, April 3 ; 9:52:00 PM♥
oh wells, today started off with western percussion. as usual, i was late! but mr yeo didn't scold. he's super nice la. lol. he gave us a mock written exam today. i'm totally hopeless at rhythmic translation (or wadeva it's called). thx julia for your help. we had to name some instruments. and then practise for the practical mock exam next week.
choir was fun today. but dr goh made us do star jumps la. it did help in the singing. again the sop 2s had to do warm up by ourselves since he wasn't too please with us. 'use ur abs, use ur abs, ur voices are too classical, not suitable for african song!'
okies, hope everything turns out fine on wednesday.
apparently the whole school will be up on stage since chamber choir is performing as well. and year 1 and 2s have their own songs to sing. so ya, 5 lecturers as audience.
if u're free pls come. i shall repeat again.
day: Wednesday, 5th Apr 06
time: 12.30pm to 1.30pm
venue: NAFA Lee Foundation Theatre
lunch-ed at nasi lemak stall. poor eudora was suan-ed by us the whole day. but pls, i wasn't spared too! evil evil...
but seriously la, we're just joking. some are quite sensitive issues, so dun talk abt it too much ya? lol. =))
last night was bad! i was supposed to be doing my work. but ended uip conferencing with jwen n dora online. they went crazy. we typed at a super fast rate la..dumb dumb..lol..
in the end i only did a bit on beethoven. dots dots dots. audrey was smart to keep reminding me to do my work! thx gal =)
piano performance was alright. but i ended up dozing off almost right away.
kept going to the toilet like dunno-how-many times.
commuter was suuuuuper long i tell you. and the pieces he played were super super slow and draggy. it seemed to be never-ending. some left when he played finished the last song. but who knows he 'encored'. dots. in the end we had to wait till he ended. and he still played a slow piece. dangs.
we had dinner at the prata stall. but i only ate like half a prata. went back to school to look for charmaine and eudora. thinking that they'd be at the com lab, i literally barged in. it was so embarrassing. coz i thought charmaine was sitting next to darius, in the end, it was another girl. and that daniel chased me out. evil! lol...
reached home at around 9+. gotta find stuff on fidelio and my history portfolios!
goodbye my dears! =))

Sunday, April 2 ; 8:23:00 PM♥
had breakfast then we went to church.
today's sermon was interesting. John 9. go read it! =)
we had a super long fellowship during tea-break. sharon jie was shocked when she knew that i'm taking music full-time. lol. she also plays the piano. she's envious of me and i was like, 'erm ok..but not with all this 'duedates' stress.' lol.
bible class was next. Proverbs 4.
i was so sleepy la. but thank God i tried my very best to remain awake.
as usual, we had a lot of junk food during class. and we could still have our lunch.
went to the esplanade. reached at around 2+. nuz and felicia were already there.
accompanied nuz to carl's jr. for his lunch.
went we got back to the library, i totally didn't have any mood to do work. but since there were so many books on the table, i took one and started to find info on haydn.
photocopied a few pages and that's all i did. dangs.
angela, aud, steph, shaun and zheng yi also came. saw xulian with her bf. she also came to get notes.
oh yes. i was talking to xulian when we heard someone farting. oh my gosh! it wasn't once, but TWICE. and both times were super loud till everyone around that man turned and stared at him. xulian and i couldn't stop laughing. imagine if the man were you, so embarrassing can!
met jobyna and rafael. she was looking for the fidelio disc. took quite a while to find it.
left at around 6. came home then left for dinner at some chinese restaurant.
alright. i'm off to catch campus superstar. will do some work later in the night.
why such a title? oh wells, can't explain it myself. had some mixed feelings earlier on. the title is kinda lame. wadeva can. but will sort it out soon.

"everything is permissible for me" - but I will not be mastered by anything.
1 Corinthians 6:12
yes, that's the title of the concert we just attended. impressions 8. by st. hilda's wind orchestra and alumni winds.
samuel was the conductor for the alumni winds. it was great! much better than the main band. as in they had the feeling there. samuel was kinda emotional. but overall it's good! lol.
weikang, audrey, steph, jwen, me, richard, andy, fhairil, yongrui and some other access course ppl went for the concert.
some of the nafa ppl who performed were, yi fang, royce, mark, fairul and of course sam.
sat with jwen, fhairil, richard and andy. that richard is super lame la. lol. orh and i heard, he likes orange too! hmm...
well, the concert lasted 2 and a half hours. there were like 2 encores.
it ended at 10. but we only left the place at 10.45. jwen n i left first, but we lost our way, so we walked back to find the guys and then went to lau pa sat with them. sat around, tried to call for cab, but the cab company made us wait so long. in the end we took a train down to dhoby ghaut and called for a cab there. by the time we got into a cab it was 2345.
just reached home. super tired. my legs are breaking.
oh yes, today's history draft presentation was not so bad.
but the actual presentation is next week. oh my gosh la. plus history portfolio submission. we're so d-e-a-d.
while we were in the cab, i finally told jwen wad i wanted to tell her in the afternoon. haha. sorry la. must think through first then tell u mah.
and yes, why am i like that? guess only jwen will get this. =))
