I live because of Him...

It has been a terribly fast and rushed week!! I have just finished last weeks homework and here I am, trying to rush out the homework to hand in on monday! I try to complete my homework in the night when I reach home. But before I can actually get down to taking out the stuff from my bag, I am already in dreamland. I then rush my homework out during lectures and breaks. This can't go on. I am breaking down. Body system is weakening.

I came down with flu yest. Was carrying a tissue in my hand wherever i went. Today too! Thanks to all who gave me a piece of tissue or a packet of tissue! Thanks so much!

Ms Lai reminded me yesterday that there is only another 8 weeks to promos! That means its 2 weeks to a subject. However, with the everyday hectic schedule, I don't think I can stick to that.

Let me recall, I have been reaching home at 10 pm everyday! And, I am almost having dinner outside every night! Either it's at whitesands food court or macs. Quite tired of outside food though. There has been NDP rehearsals and choir prac everyday. Not to say that I am complaining, and as everyone knows, I enjoy being in the choir! I don't regret my time spent there! Choir is a super motivation for me to go to school!

The situation in the choir is getting better! Nope. There isn't anyone quitting choir! That time when i posted the entry about people no joining choir etc, it's ok. Things have changed. That time was just an adjustment period. Everything is good! Yippee!!

Wed we had the dance practice. It was fun!! The NDP song is quite easy to dance to. And it was great looking at everyone people dance! After that, we had a comm meeting and went out for dinner!
7pm, we went to Tampines Pasta Mania again. It always happens when we have big group dinner out. We had 9/10 comm members! Justin was at his music lesson at TM too though, but he couldn't join us. Anyway, Charissa ordered her Chicken and Mushroom Pizza again. As usual, she couldn't finish. Haha! The guys were all waiting for her to say she gave up. (so that they could help her finish.) It always happens. Haha!

The whole dinner was just hilarious! we really talked as if the whole restaurant was ours! We cracked jokes and gossipped. Oh! We came out with a family tree! The whole comm is now one big family. We are getting bonded as a comm. Soon, we will try to bond the whole choir! The whole choir will become one big family! I will save the funny stuff of that night's dinner and the whole family tree to my sisters!
I will divulge some here though...All the 6 gals in the comm are sisters! Esp Charissa, who is 2 days younger than me!! How cool is that! That leaves the 4 guys of the comm. *cough cough* They have a weird relationship. Shan't go into depth. Anyway, I just love being with them! Choir rocks!!

Yest, though I had a very bad cold, I still went to school. The day was normal. Except for Ms Lai's warning of promos and the future. Which made me really reflect on my studying habits. Shall change it. After school and consultations, we had a small sub-comm meeting for the KL trip. I just realised that I have lots to do. After the meeting, we went da hong's place to settle some proposals. Lunch was at Macs. Haiz...didn't eat because just didn't have the appetite. The afternoon out with them was just a nice way to complete my school week. Thanks for the enjoyable afternoons!

Today, I went back with Shaz for PW. Mr Tan corrected some parts of my EOM. Just hope that I am able to do a good one out of it this wk and finally get over and done with the EOM! Yippee!! I stayed back with her to do a bit of my EOM and study geog. I can say it was a fruitful day!

I am going to complete my EOM now. Then going to sleep. Really need all the rest I can get.

Btw, TK CHOIR is going to KL end of the year! Yippeeeee!!!!

MJChoir and TKChoir rawks! I love them!!

To those who are thinking of quitting Choir, or not joining us for the KL trip, dont be silly.

Where else can you find a CCA as fun as ours? Where else can you find a CCA as melodious and harmonious as ours? Where else can you find a CCA that is goal oriented and efficient? Don't you remember the days that we all spent together preparing for the SYF and Concert? Weren't they fun at all to you?

Ok...to you, maybe it doesn't seem any of the above. You feel that we are one segregated choir. You feel that we have our cliques. You feel that there is a lot of backstabbing. You feel that we aren't serious enough. You feel that you don't have a say in anything. You think that these practices are not at all beneficial to your life. You feel that it is ruining you more than making you. You feel that choir is hurting you through and through. You feel that your brain is going to brust and blood will start oozing out once you open your mouth to sing. You feel that you are going to die any moment you open your mouth to even sing a note. You just don't feel happy with us. You just want to leave us and not at all support us. You just want to let us win the competition by ourselves and you not being there with us to see the victory together!

Let me assure you, give us some time. We can all be more united. Practices would be more fun. Practices would be more beneficial. Just keep your mind open. Recollect the days that we spent together. Think of the happy days. Think of the results that we can achieve that other CCAs are not able to.

Think of the overseas trip. What is the end result? No. Not just mainly the winning of the competition and emerging victorious. It is also the friendship that can mature through the practices. It is also the encouragement from this circle of friends and you would know that there is someone and something to fall back on. Choir will make you and mould you to be a better person. Choir can help you to cope with stress and relief stress. We are like a big family. All of us are there for one another! There is no such thing as backstabbing as we are one happy family. We are all innocent beings and there isn't any conspiracy between people. We all will work together. Spread our warmth. Share the joy. Encourage one another. Cry together. Sing together. Brave stormy times together. Choir will not break you! Choir will make you!

We are all together and the joy of performing as one Choir should motivate you to stay with us and join us for the competitions and performances ahead. If you don't stay and don't go with us end of the year, just think about what you are seriously missing out on. I really hope and wish that there will be many people going for the KL trip! It would be great if we could once again practice and strive to be the best in the competition! Keep the trust in us. Keep remembering us. Just consider, where is the outlet for fun and relaxation during school curriculum?

MJCHOIR. Where the angelic voices never stop singing. Let it be your choice. Join us. We make, not break. =)

The next thing we knew was that XY shouted our names! She was walking behind mich! I thought the 2 of them were shopping together! Haha! We chatted for a while before I had to leave. Well...it was nice meeting them!! Haha! Lets meet up soon again!!

I am going to church again tonight! To hear another installment to the Gospel meeting: The Crucifixion.

I can't wait to sing with them all.

School was great today! TGIF! Haha! Yupz! I love Fridays! It's the shortest day and stressful! The lessons are all simple and enjoyable! Though I end later then usual, due to GP and Econs consultation, I think I really spend my time well in school! I really don't mind staying back to study! MJ has a conducive learning environment i think. Really love studying there!

I joined the other comm members to do up the Choir noticeboard after my econs consultation. The turnout of the noticeboard is just great! We decorated the pieces of paper with our posts on it and kept irritating Jun Wen and Ying Chuan by putting pink colour and red hearts with wings on theirs!! That's just how we love making fun of guys! Haha! We also put up many photos that we took during the farewell party! Many of them brings back great memories and tears! While we were putting them up, we recollected the days that we spent together preparing for SYF and the concert. Also, the wonderful farewell night that we all spent together singing, crying and chatting. Those days were just great! We just hope that end of the year, during the KL trip, we would be more bonded and perform well in the competition.
"Though we are a small choir, but we have the special warmth. So let's use unite as a choir and spread this warmth to everyone else."

And becoz i was so engrossed in doing the notice board, i was late in getting to ah kong's house. I was supposed to get there at 6 pm. Instead, I got there at 630pm. Btw, I met Zaidah on the bus!! haha!! Miss her lots! Rushed thru dinner and left to go to Church. Had gospel meeting. For the 1st time in my life did i see so many visitors! and mostly are students invited by many of the youths. It was a great turn out! I really enjoyed the after meeting singing. We sang a few farewell songs to Bro. Billy Bland and Bro. Patrick as they are going back to the States. I finally felt the warmth within members. I joined them in more singing. I hope i can join them more often for activities! And for the 1st time in so long, Lawrence spoke to me face to face!! Haha! well...he said that I am becoming darker than him. But i think he is still darker then me! He and his basketball...Me and my choir...How dark can i get? Haha!

Reach Out For the Skies
Composed by: Elaine Chan
Lyrics by: Selena Tan
Arranged by: Joshua Wan

At a time when hope was low
The journey seems unsure
But through it all
We've kept the flame alive

Now standing proud and tall
Our spirit strong and free
Building on hopes and dreams
It's here we want to be

Chorus
Let's reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we'll all achieve
We'll make our destiny

Let's reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we'll all achieve
Let's soar and reach for the skies

When I think about my dreams
The future it can be
The time has come for me
To strive and to achieve

With hopes within our hearts
As one hand in hand
For family and our friends
Let's do the best we can

Chorus
Let's reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we'll all achieve
we'll make our destiny

Let's reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we'll all achieve
Let's soar and reach for the skies

Our dreams we'll all achieve
Let's soar and reach for the skies

We can touch the skies

How can it be?? I have nothing to do online! I just spent like 15 mins going through some blogs and emails. 15 mins!! That was all! This is all besides the point that I have a lot of things to research on for my PW. Anyway, even without the PW stuff, I would spend a lot of time doing other stuff anyway.

Was actually very happy and was thinking of entering a very happy entry on the way home.

However, just received a very bad news. Kk...to me it is bad lahz. To others, it's the norm. Well, Harris isn't going to KL end of the year with us. =( That means we are losing a bass as support. I tried to persuade him to change his mind and reconsider. Haiz...he just won't change his mind. Maybe give him more time, when the others come into the picture and get him to go along. I would really love to have all the seniors and juniors (short to say the whole choir) to go along. It would be a fun filled trip!
I got angry with him at first. After a while, I realised that he has the choice to go or not to. I can't blame him for not wanting to go. I can't stop him. It is his own choice and I can't force him. The options are still open to you kk, Harris! If you decide to go with us again, we welcome you! =)

Anyway, I wanted to enter a happy post because there were many stuff that made me relaxed and stress free today!!

Though there was the Chinese Listening Compre for A levels today (which was quite simple I thought. The aircon was a bit too cold. And it was raining outside! So, was like shivering in my seat.) everything else seemed great!

We got our GPP back! Thanks Shaz! If not for you, I dont think we are able to carry on with our work! And we wont have a nicely approved GPP!! Love ya lotz! =)

Next, the lessons that we had today were easy going. Not too stressful...Though I have lots of homework that isn't completed yet. Haiz...

Oh oh!! My favourite part of the day!! Comm meeting for Choir! They really brighten up my day! we joked and laughed and shared ideas! I really enjoy being in their company!
We went for dinner at TM after that. KFC. Oh oh!! There were myself, Ber, YC, Da Hong, and 3 new additions to the 4 of us!! Jwen, Justin and Gracelyn! Haha! we want more people to go out with us the next time round! We went to walk walk at the pasar malam after that. I bought nice wrapping papers!! hehe! got so attracted to the non-distorted winnie the pooh!! haha!! the colour was rich too!! Anyway, they are really fun people to be with! I think its true like what Mr Eric Chua said at the seminar that day. In JC, the only thing you remember about is your CCA! And that's just what I think so too!! I dont remember doing anything else incl PW. I just love the things I do for choir and I dont regret spending those time in doing the choir stuff!!

Happy Birthday to Luther!! =)

Progress on homework: zero...
Implications: Gonna die on mon...Haiz... Got to "chiong" (and i am still online...Heheh!!)
Ok ok..I only have myself to blame. What to do...

Anyway, I have no regrets in what I did today!!
I went to school this morn for the CCA Workplan Seminar. Something for the exco members to learn how and where to start planning for the CCA. I can say though it was suppose to be a super boring seminar, I quite enjoyed myself! Brain storming and gossiping with ber, char and yc...haha! Well, I can say we set some realistic goals for ourselves and the choir. Also, we pinpointed out our strengths and weaknesses.

We still have a way to go!! Yupz! However, I know no matter how tiring and demanding Choir is, I will still enjoy myself! Especially with the wonderful comm members of Choir!! I have no regrets choosing Choir as a CCA!! Choir rawks!! =)

After the seminar ended at 1130am, ber, char and I took MRT to Tampines. Ber and I met You Han, XR, Joy, Ky, Gerald. As usual, kY and Gerald were late lahz... We went to Ajisen to have lunch. Today is suppose to be a lunch out with them because tmr is Joy da sao's bdae!!

Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to JOYyyyyyy!!!!
Happpppiiiiieee Biiiirrrttthhhhdddaaayyyy Tooooooooooo UUUUUUUUUU!!!!

After that, they went to town to shop for Joy's pressie...I didnt go along because I thought it would be quite rush for me to get back home if i went to town. Me, being a good gal, went home!! hehe!! I would have love to go along. But i need to put important things first. And that's going home to get some work done. (Unfruitful though). Haha!!

Ok...going to play a game now before I start to chiong!!

Yupz!! There was a talk today during PCCG for stress relieving...And they let us do a (DISC) quiz to see which category i fall under...Well, I am a high "I" meaning I easily influence people. I am friendly, outgoing, emotional, enthusiastic, sociable. Hehe!! I am also "S" which means steadiness. I am sincere, loyal, considerate, dependable and supportive. Yupz!! Dianne and Azzimah said that its very true of me. =)

The team that came provided ideas of helping me to relieve stress...
1. Talking to others.
2. Confront the issue at hand.
3. Verbal Encouragement from friends.
4. Seek support from friends.
5. Sleeping.

See!! Friends are so important!! Haha! Of coz lahz... I love my friends!! KXFZ!! I miss ya all!!

So yupz! I will settle whats at hand for me. And not run away from it. At most, I would just tell teachers that I was not able to finish!! Honest little me!! Also, I think I will try to sleep early tonight! So that I have energy for the weekend...*Yawn*

Btw, I was almost late for school today lehz!! Left house at about 655 am! Usually that's the time that I get off the train at PR! But no!! Its the time that I left house!

I am laughing non-stop now because of Moses Lim acting as David "Copyfield" in the NKF Cancer show! And also because of him teaching the audience the "magic" trick of turning their hands upright...psychological thinking. Haha!

Mum praised me today!! =) She said I was marvellous! You know why? I got up at 7 am today to make breakfast!! Amazing! (I woke up so early because my whole body was aching and if i slept somemore, my whole body would just breakdown. I slept quite early yest, around 11pm. So, was feeling quite energetic.) So i woke up that early to wash up, boil water, prepared their drink and steamed some pau! Hehe!!

I had a wonderful time today in bible study. We were talking about being a Christian and we went on to talk about euthanasia etc. I found out that once a sperm meets the egg and the egg is fertilised, there is life. A new baby is created. And you know what scientists do while experimenting? They just flush the fertilised eggs after the experiment down the toilet bowl! They are plain murdering! Also, during IVF, doctors just take the best fertilised egg. What do they do to the rest of it? They just wash it down the sink. MURDERERS!! And so, the moral of the story is that, science kills.

Nick and I are listening to some songs that TKChoir and other choirs once sang. It's a long time ever since I last heard him sing. Haha! Love his cute voice! ~Vamuvamba~

Today is one weird day for me. I did some stuff which I never did before.

I went to sch for PW clinic. Stayed in sch till 1pm. After which I made my way home. I did my GP homework on the train. However, I was so engrossed and because I was listening to music at the same time, I sat all the way to Aljunied and realised that I missed my stop. Haha! So i got down at Aljunied and waited for the train. Again, I was so engrossed in doing the worksheet that I missed another train to go back. Haha! I finally stopped doing the wkst and waited for the next train. Never in my life was I so engrossed in doing homework! Especially GP! What's happening?? Missed my stop and so engrossed in doing homework...So unlike of me.

KY invited me to go with them to KBox today. Haiz...I have to do PW and go grandparent's place, so didnt go with them in the end. Would have love too though!!

I stayed in sch yest supposedly to wait for my English teacher, but she had something on. So, You Han and I did some math homewk. After which, we did homework with the choir seniors. Haha! Fun people to be with! and thanks for their help in trying to solve a maths qns for me. Thanks to Zheng Hong too!!

Well, I havent solved the maths qns yet. Here's the qns anyway. Differentiate y= square root of (x-1) using first principles. It looks easy though.

Well, I got to do my EOM, which is due on Monday. And it's getting on my nerves. Why do we have to do project work??!! =(

School, meaning lectures and tutorials, started today.
It's nice being back in school! And for once, I didn't sleep in any lecture!!

I got back my GP paper 2 which is compre. I got 25/50! I am happy that i passed! However, I am worried for my paper 1 which is the essay. I just want to pass GP!
Would be getting back Chinese, GP paper 1 tmr. Not sure if I am getting back the others, but these 2 are enough to kill me.

I have made a very grave mistake by not listening in lectures and sleeping sometimes. Also, I didn't consistently do my tutorials and assignments. I didn't read my lecture notes faithfully. I didn't study hard for the tests. All of these have led to the downfall of my mid-year exam. (Sounds like an essay! "All of the above factors have caused the fall of...") Haha!

Well, so, I am setting a resolution here. (I know it's not the new year yet, but who said that only during the new year then we can set resolutions? Haha!)

1. Not to sleep at all in lectures anymore!
2. Concentrate hard and try to absorb everything that the lecturer says.
3. Do my tutorials and assignments on time.
4. Do extra even if not needed. (sounds kiasu, but that's how it has to be)
5. Play when its really play and study when it's really study. (which includes using the computer and internet. REDUCE!!)
6. Cut down on my outings. (Feel like grounding myself from no dinners at all with Kai Xin Feng Zi and others. However, it's MEAN!! How can I not meet up with them?)
7. Try to balance school work (not spending too much time on PW) and choir work.
8. Make Christ always 1st!! (Having faith in Him gives me motivation)
9. Studying with friends. (Found out that this works only during examination period. Haiz, not sure if i can try that without exams.)
10. Going for consultations (GP teacher booked me just now...)
11. Doing my TYS and seeking help whenever I can. (Thanks Harris for offering!! =] Will make full use of your service! Just joking!!)
12. Not worrying too much!

Haha!! Harris told me just now that I worry too much. Didnt know that lehz. But it's good that he let me know. This way I can change. I shall not worry from now on...How?? How can I do that? Hehe! That's a worry! AHAHA!!

Well, will kick in this resolution from today onwards. Which means I have to complete my maths and PW stuff asap. Haiz...PW!

Yest, i met up with KAI XIN FENG ZI. A new name that LC gave us.

She said:
She is the photographer (expected).
I am the organisation planner (meaning i plan the meetings and the dates and etc. I suppose? That's how I define it. hehe. Sounds like the chairman. Ok ok, everyone is the chairman. I wont take all credit.)
Ziwei is the publicity head. (Erm, meaning helping me to spread the news about when is the next meeting? Dotz...i dont really know..hehe! Or she is the representation of how the group is like?? Hahah!)
Melissa is the fashion advisor. (She has the best fashion sense! She knows how to dress very nicely and yet not "vulgar".)
As for the rest, not thought of it yet.

Btw, all of the above is by my own definition. Hehe!

We had a great time at TM last night. Taking photos, walking around, eating etc. Well, my pics say it all.

Chinese oral yest was only ok. I stammered a bit and had lots of "erm, ah". So not typical of me. Well, it's probably because I have practiced speaking fluent Chinese for a long period of time. Ever since i stepped into MJ, i have been speaking English. Most of the people around me speak English. We speak Chinese only as fillers and not truly a conversation. Lawrence said that my ans sounds like a model ans. However, what can i do, I could only think of that at that time. I just hope that I can get a good grade...

Today LC and ZW came over to watch "The Blair Witch 2" movie. I borrowed the DVD from school. I was suppose to watch it today...Alone... Luckily I called the 2 of them over to watch! I would have died (in confusion..becoz there were parts that i didnt understand) and also there were parts that were scary. We did scream at some parts. Haha!

Thanks zw for sponsering the tidbits!

LC stayed for dinner. We had lotz to eat though mom just cooked a plate of chinese sausages with egg and a dish of carrots, prawns, mushroom, chicken. We were so full!!
I walked her out to the mrt... At the mrt, i realised that i forgot to pass her a box of vcds!! So we walked back to my house to get it. I walked her out after that again...
The walk was great! It helped us to digest our food better and a night walk is just healthy. =) We had a nice long chat, from friends to cca to sch etc....

I have a lot of things to do these few days before school starts and i have to start kicking in the mood to study (real hard). A talk with Harris last night really made me guilty. My confession to him about my study technics etc, made me realise that i havent been really studying the way i should. He taught me how to study but i didnt seem to have followed it. And i still could come up with excuses to cover up for how i fared in the exams. I only have myself to blame and only myself. NO one else. Only if i had put in more efforts and paid more attention in lectures and tutorials. I am going to do all my tutorials when school reopens! I cannot afford to waste any second. I have too many major exams coming up and i cant afford to screw anyone up. The stress is there, but i will be able to handle it. I have choir, seniors, friends, family etc to back me up. I wont fall. I will persevere. Its only about 12-13 weeks away to the major exams. I can do it. YES!! I WILL!!
