I am in the mood to sing!!
Today's feeling... **SHUANG**
Seriously, today's choir prac was one of the more "hiong" ones. Rather, it's the beginning of the intensive trainings. I always look forward to such practices!
Unfortunately, we have only a week left.
There is still much to do.
I don't want to think pessimistically, but always keeping hopes up and looking forward to the happy memories that would stay deeply in me. Both for TKChoir and MJChoir.
----------------------
My train of thoughts to blog keeps getting disrupted as the "noisy" MSN conversation with Char, Jwen, YC and Pa carries on. Haha! Everything is alright and finally, a reasonable and almost perfect rooming list is out... after so long... It just drives people nuts when it comes to rooming. Especially when some people can't get along with one another and the people doing the rooming has to note that. Tough job...
I just hope that everyone is fine with this latest and final rooming list. It's the best now.
Thanks to Pa who voiced out for us. Hehe! Though it wasn't necessary. It's alright anyways. This present one is much neater. Hehe!
----------------------
Was thinking of lots while on the ride home from PP. A lot of the CBA (Cost-Benefit Analysis) concept came into my mind. I didn't have a specific topic to think about, but ya, was thinking of lots of things. Thinking of whether my choice of moving to Pasir Ris was a right choice... lots on choir too! Studies has been pushed to another corner of my head, somewhere far...
It was just pure thoughts. Not stressed though while thinking. Didn't feel pressurized. Just some plain "day"-dreaming, sinking into the warmth of my jacket. I didn't want to get off the bus...
-----------------------
I got my new pair of spectacles! It's frameless and pink!! Yes!! PiNK!! =)
-----------------------
Met Hui Jean (Pri sch friend) and a sec sch senior, Zibin at PP! Small world. And I met them both at the same place, outside Giordano. =) Miss them lots!!
----------------------
The 21st Annual Asian Bible lectureship that is ongoing has been enlightening though i went for mon's full day and last night's talk. It has been enriching and heartpricking that makes me wonder if I have set out on the right foot and if I have been leading the correct life. I hope I have...
~Christ liveth in Me~
----------------------
And the highlight of today!!
Choir prac at Siglap Sth CC.
We did small group singing and performed in front of other members of the choir. It was fun!! My group for Kerraban Sape which consisted of Geraldine, Isabel, Adelene, You Han, Kevin, YC, Ahkong, XR, Harris, Myself (Anyone I missed out?? I hope I remember all ba) got the "Award" for being the most flirtatious group. Siao lah...but yeah...hehe!
And now, Geraldine, Isabel and I have become the Sop section flirting group. It started with me and Isabel though. I kept looking and listening out for her to get my notes. Everyone played a part too lah!! Hehe!
I used to hate such stuff, but it really builds up the confidence in me.
Who cares if you "zao sia"?
Learn la!
Correct yourself!!
It's a great way for others to correct you and for yourself to improve!
It's a great learning experience!
No regrets joining MJChoir! =)

I got myself a new pair of specs!! It's a nice frameless pair with pink metallic sides. Thanks mum for allowing me to have that pair, though i know inside of you is regretting. Hehe! Love ya lots!
-----------------
And guess what!!
After I sat down at the Optics, I turned to my right to talk to my mum, I saw this guy trying on a pair of specs. He looked familiar. I continued talking to my mum.
After that, my mum stood up to take a look at the other specs around the shop. I looked intently at the 2 guys who were seated next to my mum. I decided to give a try.
Me: Wee long!! (soft but intense)
WL: Huh?? (Looks around and stares at me. He taps onto the other guy's shoulder)
The other guy: What?? Which pair do you think is better? (He continues to look at the mirror, trying his pair of specs
Me: Hello!!
The other guy looked blankly before finally realising who I was.
My mum came back and was wondering who I was talking to. I couldn't recognise them at all in the beginning. Oh yah! "The other guy" is Jiawen. They both have changed lah.More trendy and more stylish! Haha! Havent seen them in ages. But JW hasnt changed so drastically like how he looks in the Neoprint that he took with ZW and LC a few nights ago. (Conclusion: The neoprint machine is terrible...hehe!)
Yupz, will want to meet up with them some time soon...doubt that would happen though.
----------------
Going for the Annual Asian Bible Lectureship tmr. Would be there the whole day!
~Serving the Lord with all my heart~

Sick again...Flu..when will it ever stop? Don't tell me to take flu jab coz its not going to work now.
----------------
Everyone should be stressing out now for the KL competition that is going to be held in 2 wks time. Apparently, the goal and purpose hasn't been set out straight and clear yet. The motive for going there is not really carved out in some people yet.
True, there is no doubt that we are going there for 2 purposes. But there is one purpose which should be of top priority in every choir member's mind. Not yet in everyone. Which is worrying...I hate going to battle without preparing well for it.
I hope the workshop would be a wakeup call for everyone. And a serious one in fact. I hope it won't be too late.

It's a feeling that not everyone understands.
Sorry if I didn't want to share with you...It's just that you wouldn't understand.
It's silly...
--------------------------
CHOIR TODAY WAS GREAT!! =)
Minor hiccups though...
I was late for sectionals. All coz I forgot to take conductor's file! I think it's a habit not remembering the file. Hehe! And coz of that, I am always late in meeting people. Like last wed, was late in meeting YC coz I went home to take the file. I just hope I remember it on Sat and so i don't have to waste my time and energy going back to take it again and I will be on time in meeting people! =)
Yes...Harris said it's in me to forget. watever. Hehe!
---------------------------
Most of the year 2s joined us today! And it was great singing with so many people! *SHUANG!!*
I had a 5 hour practice today! Or close to that. Sectionals from 1130 to 1pm. Main choir prac from 130 to 430. seriously tiring. And I wasn't really in good condition to sing. During sectionals, Geraldine and I were the only Sop2s (Besides char who was conducting). Geraldine and I couldn't really pitch well coz both of us were down with slight flu and tight throat. Things were better after we sang more and were more warmed up.
And I am still sticking out...Thanks to Pa and Gerald who helped and offered tips. Shall try them tmr.
----------------------------
Went dinner with the year 2s. (Ben, Joy, KY, XR, Gerald, Harris, Jeff, Cass) And I was the only yr 1!! It's alright...I am old enough hor! Hehe!
We had dinner at Mos and chit chat for a while before "guang jie-ing". Joy, Cass and myself went to the Century Square level 2 toilets! For those gals (and guys) who don't know, that toilet there is fabulous! Splendid! It's sparkling clean (somewhat) and it has a row of dressing tables with mirrors for those who want to touch up. And flower pots on the tables. And there is also a couch at one corner of the toilet! There are large full length mirrors that makes the toilet look real big!! It's awesome la! =)
Joy took pics to show the guys and yeah, they were stunned! hehe! Jealous or not, ah guys??
----------------------------
I am really proud of my seniors! As they were waiting for Joy and Cass to check out some prom gowns, the guys took out their scores and started singing and memorising! They held the scores, sang and walked all at the same time.
They got high on singing. =)
So, we decided to find a place to sit down and sing. Sun Plaza park was too far. It's really a nice place to be at. (recall the night that we spent there during the chalet)
We finally settled for a table at the void deck in Tampines.
Thankful that we had Ben there! Our walking pitch pipe! Hehe! We sang Ashita and Janger, with people walking pass smiling at us while we sang. It was really nice and the feel was great! =) (We were in tune for one try of Ashita. That's what Ben said. Well, we prob had changed key dunno how many times in between the song, but yeah, we ended in tune. Hehe!) It was fun! And I am still "bia-ing"! Darns...another 2 wks and I still can't get it right...Haiz...
-----------------------
The outing with them was great! And I am thankful for such hardworking and passionate seniors! Jia you kk!! =)
Thanks Joy for listening. =)
Thanks KY and Harris for "suaning" me. =) Don't forget that my traits are inheirited from you guys!
-----------------------
TKChoir prac tmr!! got to memorise my songs now...Tata!!
(And I just realised my whole entry today is just on choir! what to do, I love MJChoir!)

I am confused.
My mind is in a mess.
It just feels wrong...
I don't know what I am doing.
It's against principles.
I can't help it...
No one can help me though...
ZIWEI!! LC!! MICH!! MEL!! WHERE ARE YOU!!
-----------------------
Pool yest with Mr Yong was great! Ah kong and I played terribly. Mr Yong doesn't belong to the noob table lah...
-----------------------
Pool again today. Seriously, Ah kong and I are getting addicted to this. Not to say that the others playing aren't. It's just that Ah kong and I can't play with the others. they are just too pro already. Today's game was good! we played 6 games in 1 hr 15 mins. It's a miracle. Hehe! On the average, we would take half an hour to complete a game though. hehe!
-----------------------
Can't wait to have the whole choir and sing in quartet! =)

I am tired...exhausted...

Physically well!
Thanks to all who showered me with love, care and concern! =)

I cleared the air...
with someone...
not with the actual person though...
at least its something off my chest.
----------------
My nose was super bad today!
Still, i went to sch for sectionals and to meet ms lim.
I was sneezing throughout.
Felt darn bad abt that. Haiz... I shouldnt have gone to school.
Many started sneezing after that. kk..it may have been already in them to be sick...but i still felt it was partly me...
Pa came down with fever after sectionals. It must have been the flu bug that mutated into fever! Hehe!! jk jk! Rest well pa!! =0) We would ask mama to make tonic soup for you! hehe!!
----------------
Ber, Char, Eugenia, Ah kong, Wen and I went off to watch THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE!!
---------------
It was abt the trial of this girl who was possessed by 6 demons! Not going to let much detail here but yeah...it was a good show! There were some gory scenes and some scary parts. Yah...but its still not like those scary movies where you sit in your seat shivering and screaming. It was nice!!
---------------
I am very tired...
still editing the I and R though. It's taking ages for my ST to return it! And i can't print!
Will have to start queuing at the library tmr morn even before it opens!! I shall be there at 8am! Haha!! its like some kind of kiasu singaporeans queuing at Macs waiting to buy some hellokitty dolls. I don't know if its going to be like that tmr. Its a bit of exaggeration.
But yupz!! Azzimah, my darling, is going early to queue with me and help me to print. she and I are both IT iliterate...I wonder why i asked her for help though...hehe!!
Anyway, she and I are going to be nerds tmr and try to complete much of the maths hols wkst. too bad shaz aint here! She would love to finish up her maths with me! Hehe!!

Watching the last episode of Stairway to Heaven. The endings of korean dramas are all the same. Hehe!!

I dislike impatient people!
Not that I don't like mum lah...I know she was concerned for me...
She chased me home last night. I was at my grandparents' place for dinner. She quickly asked me to go home. That was 8pm. It was still early! I am seldom home before 10 pm! And so, she made me stop my game with my cousins and chased me home. I was home at 9pm! Haiz...she meant well. But didnt she realise i wanted to be there and play with my cousins instead of going home and face the computer screen?
I am home sick!! *urgh*
And my brother keeps asking me to quickly finish up my project so that he can play computer games!! Please la! I need to do the I&R and hand in by 7pm! It's not as if i wanted to do the report!! If given a choice, i would not have wanted to do it!
I gave in to him anyway. And so, I have just completed my I&R and sent it to Mrs Suhaimy. 4 hours late. But i don't care. I am sick and tired of PW! Thankfully, it ends on tues!!
---------------
Choir was very enjoyable today!
Though we spent like 2 hours trying to get our parts for Daemon.
I haven't sang the songs for a long time and it was just great being able to sing them again with the choir! I just love singing!
----------------
Next week is going to be hectic, with choir taking up most of it. but i don't care! Coz its choir!
Mon-sectionals in school
Tues-submission of I&R in school
Wed-MJChoir at siglap south
Thurs-MJChoir in school, TKChoir in school
Fri-TKChoir in school, MJ Year 1 bash at MJ
Sat- MJChoir and TKChoir at siglap south.
----------------
Oh!! And i tried my TK gown! It fits perfectly fine! Yeah!
----------------
Lunch was at PP foodcourt with Ah kong, Pa, Stepmummy, You Han, Eugenia, Rui Hong, Weslie (left us during lunch). The way there was filled with a lot of entertainment provided by Ah kong. We were playing games like answering a question with a question. And there was when we answered his questions with only 2 sentences. It was hilarious!! Quick thinking Ah kong!
-----------------
All of us except You Han, Eugenia and Weslie went to play pool after that. Ah kong and I opened a noob table (coz both of us don't know how to play). Pa, Wen and Rui Hong, being the experts, played more professionally on another table. Ah kong and I just used the minimal rules. We just tried to clear the table. That simple. And Ah kong and I did some shots that probably would take someone lots of practice to master! (as commented by pa, wen and RH) Like "draw"?? "jump ball"??
Aiya!
Whatever lah...it was just coincidence. Ah kong and I cleared 6 rounds (maybe more. With RH's game counted should be 8??) in 2 hours. Quite an achievement kk considering it was my 2nd time playing!
-----------------
Wells, i just want to enjoy what i can now. Who knows what would happen in the future.
-----------------
I love my bro! (I am contradicting myself...as seen from above, i seem to dislike my bro.)
It's coz just now he was willing to practice with me TKChoir songs! He sang the Alto part while I tried to get my Sop part! He was so obliging! And I love his voice! So sweet manz...(Bias source..hehe!)
And he is going to teach me the sop2 part of Dumbelle! It's so unlike him! hehe!
Thanks bro! If you do read! Hehe! I love you!

Dinner with sisters was cancelled today. WL and LC couldn't make it. So it was pointless for the 3 of us to still meet. And the next few weeks is hectic for me. hmm...
------------------
Thanks to all for the encouragements. sorry that i freaked you guys out! I am fine...yeah!
------------------
Went shaz house today! Really enjoy visitations! And it's my second year visiting during Hari Raya! Last year was to Ili's house! Or was it the year before? Anyway, this year was to Azzimah's and Shaz's house! Really love the cookies! And the cakes! And the lunches! hehe!! Yeah!
-------------------
I enjoyed myself further by indulging myself in the angelic voices of TKChoir!
It's the 1st practice that I got to really have warmups with them and end off as a choir! It was really fun! And I got "promoted" today. Well, not really a promotion lah, but still...hehe!! Mr Kwei transferred me to Sop 2. Many implications though.
- I have to relearn everything. Incl Potong Padi.
- Wed's sectionals (by myself and help from Bernice and You Han) went to waste. Not exactly lah. I have to know other sections part as well. But yah, I couldnt sing with the altos though i knew the parts. Half the time today i was flipping thru the scores and mumbling and fumbling with my scores while i tried to locate the parts. Haiz... Good thing I had Fatin!! Thanks lots gal! =)
- I made some new juniors! Hehe! Ruby (sec 1), Jian Liang (sec1/2??), Fatin and Divya (sec3...got to know them better).
Oh wells, i should look ahead and enjoy the practices that we would have together. It may be a good or bad thing that I am in Sop2 now. But I would just take it that it's going to be fun!
Oh oh!! We lied down and sang today! Classic me was holding the scores while singing. Hehe!! I had to!! I still cant remember the songs! Hehe!!
Talking about that, i havent revised the MJChoir songs yet! I havent sang with them for 2 weeks le! I don't think i can remember the songs! Argh!!
----------------
I think it works the same...
Last night on the channel 8 show on dancing, 9pm, it was quoted many times (content alike)
"I wouldn't mind giving up the world or anything for dancing. I am happy only when I dance. Without dancing, I wouldn't know what to do. Dancing makes me happy and alive!"
It works the same for me.
"Singing makes me alive!"
---------------
And finally, after 2 weeks of not being able to join MJChoir to have a proper practice, I am finally being able to join them tmr! Yeah!

I can't believe 7 agonizing months has just passed like a twinkle of an eye!!
7 months ago, I was feeling terrible inside me!
Now, it's a big load off my shoulders and I can start leading a normal life! A life that is more free and relaxed!
I really would like to thank the following groups of people *so Star award ceremony speech kind*
First up, the MJChoir for being so understanding towards my frequent absence from practices. Also, for giving me all the encouragment that I could gladly receive during my difficult times!! I promise I will attend practices faithfully! I love you guys!
Next, I have my family! *real one!!* Thanks lots for all the chicken essences and the tonic drinks!! And also for being there when I was really down and out! I miss you all!!
Following that is my dearest friends from 05A103! Thanks for the encouragement and well wishes! Special thanks goes out to all those who quarrel with me often enough over English and so that I would have improved!!
To you han! Thanks lots for putting up with me and going through this with me!
To Mrs Koh, thanks for always being there for us when you could have left us in the lurch! You are the best teacher and I would never forget you!
To You Han, Ching Hao, Siang Yong and Lester, for making my Saturday mornings filled with laughter and joy! The time spent with you guys while studying was great! May our friendship remain!!
To all my dear friends who messaged me last night and this morning (wee hours)! Thanks for those sweet messages that filled my inbox! Thank you! Thank you!!
Last but not least! My dear sisters aka KXFZ! You gals rawk my world! You gals were the first to pick me up and comfort me! You all have also always been by my side thoughout this painful 7 months! Thanks so much dears!! I love you all!! KXFZs rawk!! =)
------------------------
I hope I have remembered to thank all that I have to! If i haven't please let me know!! I wouldn't want to leave you all out! Hehe!!
------------------------
I can say that this week though packed with activities, I am seriously happy and contented and satisfied etc...that I have spent it well and fruitfully!! Yeah!! (And it's only thurs??)
------------------------
Monday was well spent with the class for PW, and tea-ner out with half the class, and dessert out with Shaz (the bdae gal), LC, aifung, wei wei. Pigging out the whole day! hehe!!
------------------------
Tues was well spent with Shaz in the morn when we went JOGGING!! in MJ!! And then settling some choir stuff in the morn. Oh yah, I was doing the Sudoko (??spelling??) puzzle thing that was on the Today newspaper. Went Changi Airport for Lunch (more like tea though coz it was around 330pm??) with the Char, Ber, Pa, Wen, Rui Hong. We went back to school after that for the altos sectionals while I prepared the scores for the Year 2s.
The coolest thing was that i went back to school in my homeclothes!! Boardshorts, tee shirt and slippers!! So sloppy lah!! Haha! But that was how i went to the Airport too! I didn't think i would have gone back to MJ though...
------------------------
Wed was well spent (or should be lah...) doing the darn English paper for 3 hours...went home to change before going to whitesands ntuc to meet Shaz. I was "killing" shaz throughout the walk from NTUC to the bus stop by telling her what she had missed the night before on Stairway to Heaven! Hehe! Sorry gal! At least I told you rather than you not knowing right? Maybe not...hehe!!
you han and sarah hopped onto the bus at school and we headed to Hougang to meet Azzimah!! Yupz!! We went to azzimah's house for Hari Raya visitation? (doesn't sound grammatically correct)
Anyway, it was my first time entering Hougang. And my first time going to Hougang Mall. Its quite an ok shopping mall. There is KFC, Macs, NTUC, a library, Giordano, Bossini, World of Sports, Sports link, and whats that big electrical store??
It was a long walk (abt 15 mins?) from her the interchange to her house. Throughout this time we were busy chitchatting and shouting...Typical right? hehe!!
We had noodles and cakes and biscuits at her place! The food was just great! thankfully i didnt have lunch!! hehe!
I really enjoyed myself at her place though there were only 5 of us (myself, sarah, shaz, you han and lc). If Dianne was there it would have been more fun! Oh wells...
Went back to school coz you han had sectionals. I did my own too!! The TKChoir songs!! Thanks lots to You Han who helped me along on the bus and in school...coz you know the parts too! Hehe!! Thanks to Bernice for tolerating all my "zao sia" notes and for teaching me some parts!! Thanks to MJChoir for allowing me to use the keyboard...ok..that was lame...but yeah!! I completed going through the songs!
Pa, Ber, Eugenia and I went for dinner after that...So sinful lah!! Broke the abstinence once more...KFC...haiz...
----------------------
Ok! Today is going to be another fun filled day and going to be well spent. I am going off to school now to meet Shaz and jog! Yeah!! After which we would sit down and hopefully complete our maths homework. We have no time!!
In the evening, I am going to meet KXFZs for a gym workout! Yeah!! See ya guys later!!

PW is over!
At least for OP!
Thanks lots to my dear PW group! I would have not enjoyed myself today if not for you people!!
I loved the encouragement that we gave each other before the presentation. It would have been perfect if Simon had joined in the mini *hugs* that we gave each other. But nah..don't think he needed that!
We gals (incl simon! Hehe!) did absolutely great!! We didn't really fumble on our speech and not at all sounded nervous! The video was great too!!
The examiners were great too! Mr Aidil and a female malay teacher who teaches GP, Ms Lim Pei Wen (who was probably a moderator) and 2 other female MOE moderators!
Really like to thank you guys individually!
Esther- for being the very supportive group leader! Though half the time we couldn't find you!! One day must take a group picture!! And you still owe us a lunch kk!!
Jean- for being Ms Cow and entertaining us with all your blurness!!
Simon- for also being the blur one!! Hehe!!
Shaz- for staying up with me into the night for so many nights and putting up with my demands!
Thanks you guys for putting up with my nonsense and being there for me as a group! You guys have been great friends and i wouldn't know what to do for pw if not for you people!!
MJ171 Check It Out Rawks!!
--------------------
After the presentations, half the class went for Tea-ner (Tea and Dinner) together!
Jean, Kah Hwee, Lee Chen, Simon, Yan Xiang, Shaz, Sharon, Gillian, Ai Fung, Zhi Heng, Kenneth, Wei Wei, Shu zhen and Me!!
We went to Pizza Hut and ordered the 4-5 people set. That meant that we had 12 bowls of soup, 3 Hawaiian stuffed crust pizza, 3 BBQ Chicken supreme Pan Pizza!!! Considering all of us were gals and there were 3 guys (Kenneth didnt eat and Zhi Heng ate only 2 slices), we really were stuffing ourselves with the pizzas!! We were all super full!!
After which we went to take neoprints! It was hilarious seeing 13 people squeezing into the small space of the neoprint machine! And trying to get everyone's face into the frame. It wasn't possible actually, but we still made it. With some people disappearing from the pic now and then! Hehe!!
My pw group took one ourselves too! Without esther though. However, it was nice! Hehe!! Will put the pics up soon!
------------------
It was the best outing today that i had with half the class! It was full of nonsense and so relaxing! I really enjoyed all the laughters and jokes that we shared with each other and the birthday song that made shaz (and all of us go red). The people at Pizza Hut also sang and clapped along! The waiter also hopped around and shouted! It was funny!
-----------------
We walked walked around after that when one by one (or rather...in groups) we began to disperse. Shaz, LC, AF and Wei ended up in Swensens!! Coz Shaz could get a free ice cream! And LC and I at first wanted to drink HONEY DARLING! (The joke of the night again at Swensens!!). Nopes... In the end, we ordered an earthquake and shared. It was a big one!! And 4 of us (AF didnt eat) couldn't finish. We had a heavy Tea-ner remember!!
---------------
Argh!! Today was just full of eating!!
What kind of abstinence am i on?? hehe!! I should soon include Swensens and Pizza Hut!
I am going to run tmr! Thanks shaz for accompanying me!! =)
--------------
All the best to all have OP in the next few days! It's not really scary. Seriously! I worried too much! Btw...my group was playing Bridge for half an hour before the presentation. We didn't really practice much! Just take it easy! =)

I regret...
Many things...
Unhappiness...
-----------------
I don't know...Sudden urge for me to just type. I just want to type.
This whole post is going to be nonsense...don't bother reading...
----------------
It's stress...
I regret...
----------------
Not listening to mum, dad, all at home, and continue leading such an unhealthy lifestyle...
I am sitting in front of the computer, blogging...
While my nose requires all kinds of adhesive tapes, super glue (as said by ziwei), stitches...
My nose is falling off!!!
Get the plumber, cobbler, carpenter! Whoever!
I know the reason for this...
It's the late nights that I have been spending, staying up to do the powerpoint; being the little miss perfectionist and keeps changing, editing the slides. Even till this time, the powerpoint is in the midst of transfering to Shazana. I can't help it! It's just me!
I have a strong hunch about tmr. But I aint going to say it. I just hope everything turns out fine!!
----------------
I have been playing too much this year already. I am going to be in the playing mood again i think after all the PW has been done! In actual fact, I am already playing. Makes no difference to me even if you say its a major exam. Coz I have already flunked my chinese exam. I have been feeling sore about it ever since that day. It's my own fault and I am not blaming anyone. I should have studied.
-----------------
i am not going to get too involved in many things from now on. But will want to be more involved in God's work! well, the sermon really hit me in the heart today and will want to set my life back to the path He has set for me.
Choir is going to take up the whole holiday. MJ and TK. and I am delighted to be part of them! I don't care what others think about the choir or whatever. It's a feedback and it's good. Everyone plays a part in the choir and I just hope that every member going to KL will put their heart and soul into singing and practicing. Each choir is a big family and everyone of us are part of the family. It's something some can't accept. Just too bad...
----------------
Nonsense right?? I told you it doesn't make sense. Don't bother...
My mind isn't clear now!
Totally hazy...
Closing...
Shutting down...
System hanged...
---------------
Thoughts floating...
Keeping the silence with me..
Under the clear moonlight...
Peace...

I have been around looking for the Wang Zi Bian Qing Wa VCD.
PS...Simei...Bedok...
Prices are nearly the same... $29.90-$32.90
At TS, i still get 5% off.
But those prices are for just one box!! There are 3 boxes in total! I don't have that much money to get all 3 boxes! Hehe!! Super broke le!
-----------------------
My Malaysia trip this thurs is cancelled. haiz...there goes my shopping spree.
-----------------------
I want to change my wardrobe! Seriously, I am getting sick of all my clothes! I want to shop!
-----------------------
PW presentation tmr! I am nearly done with memorizing my script. I just hope i don't freak out tmr and stutter! I can't afford to do that!
-----------------------
I missed choir yest. They ended so early that You Han and I were there not even to "sing the last note" (as said by you han). Haiz...the next choir prac is on sat lah!! That means I havent had choir prac with MJChoir for 2 weeks!!
There is TKChoir prac on Fri! And I do hope I can make it! I miss singing!! I love singing!!
And I better memorise the scores soon!
----------------------
There is a dinner gathering on Fri with Zw, LC, WL and JW. But I was thinking of going ah ma's place for dinner...Hmm...what a difficult choice...

Wang Zi Bian Qing Wa is hilarious, Funny, entertaining etc!
And there is romance between the people!
I think the show is cool!
Too bad I am like halfway to the end of the show!
I don't know what happened in the beginning to get to such a stage now!

Ahaha!!
Yu Le Bai Fen Bai is a very cool show!
I have been catching it for the past few days!
Today's show was about 3 gals trying to win Xiao Zhu (the hosts) heart!
It was super hilarious!
Of coz, it was just for show. I don't think it would really happen! So it was all so light heartening.
Hehe!!
And he is CUTE!!

Yeah! Dad's coming back tmr! Miss him lots throughout this week!! =)
---------------
Had a freaking long day today!
I was in school from 745am to check the powerpoint slides before uploading them at 830 am!
Edited my script.
I waited for 10am to come where I finally met the Choir comm people!
It's been a long time ever since we sat in the AVA room having a comm meeting! Well, sort of a comm meeting. Today's was filled with a lot of laughter esp with Ah kong providing the entertainment and drawing out the family tree for Eugenia! Haha!
Went back for PW...sian...
-----------------
I just completed my second draft of I&R. It's full of crap and grammatical errors as i was half asleep doing it. I kepy dozing off! Haiz...
PW went smoothly today from 330pm-630pm as we had our 2nd dry run! It was a hilarious session as we were interrupted many times coz of the teacher. She suddenly asked things which weren't related to OP! Haha!
Not listing egs.
Anyways, my PW group has been corporative and I am looking forward to lunch on Fri! Hehe!! =)
-------------------
I am going to break off from PW tmr (today rather) and not be bothered by PW till Fri.

~Rach~ Sleepy...

Though i think there are many more pretty pics that she didnt upload! hehe!!
-------------------
I was trying to write just now, but my right hand forbid me to! I think it must be due to the constant typing that I have been doing much often of late! The OP, and not forgetting, blogging! Hehe!!
------------------
Finally, I must say, after much hardship that my PW group has put in, after the long nights that Shaz have me for company and I have her for company (sounds sick).
Anyways, i was saying...
The long nights and hours that we spent putting the powerpoint together, (that includes today! The whole day! Shaz and I were online), We have and can proudly say that:
WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR POWERPOINT!!
It's so amazing! Especially after looking back from the very 1st powerpoint that did to the present day's version, i can say it's filled with a lot of tears, heartache, backache, numbbed hands, tired minds, blood shot eyes, sleepy faces, time, energy etc...
The powerpoint is great! I would love to put it up here if i can! hehe!!
To shaz: Thanks lots dear for staying up into the late nights with me. Thanks for accomodating all my various and nonsense demands. Thanks for being so understanding. Thanks for accepting me as the perfectionist but not leaving everything to me! Thanks for sharing this load! Thanks for everything! Thanks for being there!! You are the best!!
To my PW mates: You guys helped lots too!! Jia you kk!!
-------------------------
To think of it, looking on the bright side of things, PW isn't too bad!
I made friends! People whom I think I wouldn't talk to if not for PW. I won't be teasing Jean. I won't be suaning Simon, I won't be even talking to Esther!! And neither would I be study partners with Shaz! Also, I don't think I would have known my classmates! I probably won't even get a chance to play Bridge!
I am going to be silly. But I still must say this. (Morale Booster for OP! Hehe!)
PW RAWKS!!

KXFZs
Mon 31 Oct 2005
Had a great night out with KXFZs just now!!
Really am grateful for their wonderful company!
----------------
After OP (which was terrible), LC waited for me while i finished up the Powerpoint. She then came over to my place. She got so warmed up with Frodo that they played catching for about half an hour? Haha! Frodo must be so thankful that I brought LC along to play with him! Haha! (Yi si qian qian)
---------------
We then left to take 53 at 6pm. It took us half an hour. We walked walked a while 1st before going up to Popeye's. Met Joy and Gerald there! (studying)
LC and I waited for seats while waiting for ZW, Mich and Mel to come.
Actually, we found 8 seats for ourselves. We sat down. But as the employee of Popeye's wanted to clean the area around us, LC and I decided to stand up so we would not be in his way. However, this cost us our seats! A group of boys seeing that we stood up and standing around (they probably didn't see us), came and placed their butts on our seats!! They took the seats!!
I being the demure and civilised one, (kk, LC too yah?) didnt want to quarrel with them. We found a 4 seater table. But it wasnt able to accomodate all 5 of us. (square table)
We decided to eat Subway instead.
I think I gen Popeye hen mei you yuan. This is the 2nd time that I had to eat Subway when I could finally eat Popeye's.
--------------------
The 5 of us ordered a Turkey Breast, Ham and Bacon melt, and a Chicken Teriyaki. Both were a foot long! Yupz! and we got them to cut it into 5s. On top of that, we bought 3 cookies! It was quite a filling dinner though all of us just got a small portion of the foot long. Lc and Mich had a Beancurd Ice cream from Mr Bean behind us. It was a cool ice cream but really had the strong beancurd taste.
-------------------
We walked around and took pics! (will be uploaded soon!)
Silly ones but pretty ones as usual.
We had Ice cream at Swesens after that.
I am super indulging in all the sweet stuff.
I am going to start my abstinence soon! I must take care of my voice!!
So here is the abstinence list:
- No chocolates. (This includes Chocolate Ice cream! Heng ah...had my last Chocolate ice cream just now at Swensens!! And Pocky too!)
- No sweets! (Not had them for a long time!)
- No carbonated drinks! (Coke! I don't drink that anyways.)
- No sweetened drinks! (Ice Lemon Tea, Water Chestnut, Bubble tea)
Only plain water allowed!!
- No fried food! (Urgh...I want to eat fried chicken now!)
- No fastfood! (Macs, KFC, BK etc)
- Wat else?
I really hope I can keep to it. I am not good at keeping resolutions either. Not kept to this abstinence list every year. May this year be an exception!!
----------------------
KXFZs parted at Tanah Merah MRT station after our Ladies Night Out.
I was alone waiting for the train to PR.
Alone.
5566 Long time no see CD was blasting into my ears.
I wanted to take a slow walk home and enjoy the breeze.
No, it happened again.
Rain...
Drizzle...
I had to pick up pace coz i didnt want to get drenched again like last week!
That stopped me from thinking about things.
You know, when you are alone, things seem much clearer to think about and decisions are made faster and not so painful? It's just something which I think works for me.
What am I blabbering about?? Nonsense...
----------------
People! Please take note that LC and I do not bear overnight grudges. So whatever that I said in the previous post does not apply anymore. Though that was just how i felt just now. LC and I would always be squabbling sisters! No big deal! It happens everytime! so chill kk?
--------------
With that, I like to say how thankful I am to have the KXFZs as my dearest sisters!!
We don't bear overnight grudges.
We squabble, even over minor things. But it's of no harm!
We love each other!
We correct each other!
We joke with each other!
Friends and sisters we always will be!!
I love you gals!!
---------------
Ending with a few of my favourite pics from the Ladies Night Out!
Enjoy!
Me (eating the waffle) and Mich Sis.(eating the cherry).
Down the escalator! We are good at such pics manz!!
LC, Ziwei and Me! Doesn't ZW look like our mother?? Hehe!
LC, Me and Mel
ZW, Me and Mel
