Just got back not long from a night out with MJChoir people again. Though i wished that i was still with them...
We performed 4 songs (Itsumo Nando Demo - theme song from spirited away, You are the New Day, Daemon Irrepit Callidus, Kerraban Sape) today for the J3s 1st alumni dinner of MJC.
I enjoyed myself but it wasnt good when the spotlights were all shining down on us. it was very hot. It was great seeing the J3s though there was only a small turnout of probably a hundred! Zaidah was the only familiar face i saw. Some were cheering for us and Mr Yong in their seats and the atmosphere was high! I saw Ms Lai enjoying the songs and giving a very cheerful smile after every song. things would have been better if the place didnt have so much echo. However, i really enjoyed singing especially with 2 loving seniors beside me - Joy and Shi Yun! I will miss singing with them.
After that was dinner at Pasta Mania - TM. It was abt 17 + of us in a restaurant. Sitting with Michelle, Carine mei and JTit aka Ah Kong was entertaining. They were talking abt project superstar, star idol, superband etc and they were talking as if it was a GP discussion - like why they shouldnt have so many of these kind of shows going on simultaneously. They moved on to Singapore Idol and then American Idol. I got lost in the midst of their conversation. However, it was entertaining hearing them chat. It was fun!
Btw, we realised that the choir guys when they wear just their white shirt and black pants, would end up looking like waiters! Just now, Rui Hong stood at our table and looked at us as if he was going to take our orders! haha!
Post dinner activity was Pool at Tampines Pavillion. it has been some time ever since i played pool le. and it was my first time playing pool in the night. we opened 3 tables and as usual, my table was the amatuer table where only noobs play. i had a few games with Michelle, Ah Kong, RH, Ben, Jeff and Carine mei. Michelle and i taught Carine how to play and she managed to hit 4 balls in! A fast learner is she! btw, her 4 balls that she hit in were 2 coloured and 2 white! Hehe!! ok ok...i shant tease her anymore. I was like this when i started playing too! =D
Today has been a wonderful day! and i have completed some work. Haiz...i just want to end this homework mania. its not enjoyable at all...
Here's me saying GOODBYE TO 2005 in case i am unable to blog tmr!

On the sleep-smart scale, you get an A!
You're doing all the right things to ensure a good night's sleep. You've either studied the manual on proper sleeping techniques, or you're a natural. If you like, read below for sleeping tips, pointers, and the answers to the questions.
Do you get up and go to bed at the same time each day?
Routine is the main ingredient for a good night's sleep. If you go to bed and wake up at the same time every day (even on weekends) your body will begin to anticipate your sleeping schedule. You'll find yourself getting sleepy right around bedtime, and waking up effortlessly in the morning. You might even begin to wake up before your alarm.
How many hours of sleep do you get a night?
How much sleep should you get a night? There is no standard answer to this question. Most people average about 6 to 8 hours of sleep a night. But sleep requirements vary from person to person. What works for one person might not work for another. Your optimal sleep time is the amount that leaves you feeling rested and alert all day long. Find your optimal time by altering your sleep time in 30 minute increments, and tracking your performance the following day.
Do you exercise regularly?
Regular exercise is a great way to improve the quality of your sleep. Exercise aids sleep by reducing stress, increasing oxygen consumption, and improving circulation. Studies have shown that individuals who walk more than six blocks per day have 1/3 fewer sleep disturbances than people who walk less. When those blocks are walked briskly, sleep disturbances are reduced by half.
Do you exercise within one hour of going to bed?
Mid-afternoon exercise can improve your sleep, but exercising right before bed gets your energy up and may throw off your normal sleeping patterns. It's best to avoid engaging in strenuous activities late in the evening or night. Try to get your daily exercise in at least three hours before bedtime.
Describe your room temperature.
If your room is too hot or too cold, you aren't going to sleep well. Cold hands and feet equal a poor night's sleep, so it's best to keep warm. But don't keep things too toasty. Studies have shown that a slight drop in body temperature near bedtime can help induce sleep. A cool room and a warm blanket are your best bet for a good night's sleep.
Sound and light levels.
Usually, a dark, quiet room is most conducive to sleep, but preferences may vary. Some people might be afraid of the dark. Others might find certain noises and sounds comforting. Experiment with sound and light levels to find the combination that is best for you.
Do you read, watch TV, or work in bed?
It is a good idea to use your bed only for sleep and other intimate activities. Using your bed solely for these two tasks gets you into a groove, bolsters your sleeping patterns, and helps you fall asleep faster. Working, watching TV and, to a lesser extent, reading in bed can confuse your body and break the stride of your sleeping routine. When you get under the covers, your brain won't know if it's supposed to wake-up or shut down.
Do you often eat dinner less than hour before bedtime?
It's not easy to fall asleep on an empty stomach. If you're hungry right before bed, a light snack is a good idea. A large meal, however, will probably keep you tossing and turning all night. Dairy products and turkey contain tryptophan, a natural sleep-inducer. A half sandwich and a glass of milk are a good prescription for sound sleeping.
Do you smoke?
Nicotine, like caffeine, is a stimulant that can make it difficult to fall asleep. Nicotine may also be linked to problems waking up. If you are a chronic smoker, nicotine cravings in the middle of the night may cause you to sleep fitfully. Quitting smoking may cause more sleep problems at first, but your sleep will improve in the long run.
Nightcap before bed.
Alcohol consumed at bedtime might help you fall asleep faster, but studies have shown that alcohol consumed within an hour of bedtime actually disrupts your sleep later in the night. You may sleep fitfully, wake from dreams, and have trouble falling back asleep.

You're yellow, the color of joy and energy — two things you definitely bring to everyone around you. It's hard for anyone to be sad or lonely in your presence; your sunny disposition and cheery outlook just won't allow it. The warmth of your personality shines through in the kindness you show friends and family (and strangers, too). Always ready with a lighthearted joke or heartfelt compliment, you know how to make people feel good about themselves, so they can't get enough of you. Yellow is a warm and inviting color for a warm and inviting person — you!
Hmm...is there a colour explanation for PINK?

I just realised i havent updated for a long time! Have been having a wonderful week!
i am too tired to go into detail...
- went jogging/brisk walking with mum and dad on mon morn at bedok reservior. 4.3km. it was mum's idea!! And i am so glad she didnt go back on her words and decide not to go. hehe! The weather was great! slight drizzle though...
- had a few days of family time with mum, dad and nick! =D
- went to watch Narnia yest with mum, dad and nick. Went shopping before the show. The show has some symbolism with the Bible. The obvious one was the Lion in connection with Jesus. It's cool! Must watch kk!!
- Went lunch with the choir people today after prac for fri alumni dinner. Pizza Hut! I have to start abstaining from such fast food. it's eating my money faster than i eat the food. hehe!

Hectic day for me today! But it was enjoyable! I won't have such luxury of time to do anything when school term starts...haiz...
Anyways, I went back to TK today. Heard a bit of the new songs that they are learning for next year's concert. Had a bit of a chat with Andrea and some other juniors. They also "exchanged" (coz some just received. didnt give. Ha!) gifts. After which, we went out with Mdm Goo. She treated us to lunch at Marche. It was a great lunch as i could interact with some people whom i havent spoke to for a long time and could catch up with what some other JCs were doing. =D
Went to Airport Terminal One after lunch to meet up with the MJChoir people. We were going to send Harris off, back to Indonesia. Haha! It wasn't a very bad sendoff. unlike other times when i would breakdown or at least tear when i was sending a relative off when they went overseas. Well, maybe coz i got used to saying goodbyes. And i was already used to saying goodbyes to them. Harris would be back in 2 mths anyways.
went to the gallery to chit chat with ky, cass, ben and gerald after having some food downstairs. it was cool hearing abt their future and their views on some issues. clarified some doubts too. =)
i really hope to be able to go to the bbq that they are organising next thurs. i really wonder when i could meet up with this great bunch of seniors!!
Hey LC! I went to Changi Airport today! And Mr Bean has now been changed to Jollibean! So, that time i was right to say that Changi's is jollibean! Hehe!! =D
And i agree, Mr Bean is better than Jbean.
Happy Birthday to Jeffrey!!
Happy Birthday to Weslie!!

It's been a great day!!
At least i completed one part of homework (geog proj)! hehe!!
----------
I met Dianne, Azzimah and Sarah at Macs PP. We chit chatted abt how our hols was spent and everything and only got down to discussing the geog proj after we finished our description of holidays. It wasnt that bad. Our initial ideas werent really used in the end.
We went to NTUC looking for sponges. But they were beyond our budget. We then went to the florist to ask abt the sponge they use for flowers. Hard and expensive too. Haiz...After that, we went to popular. We had the 20% discount coupon! and so we just stocked up whatever we needed for the new schooling year. Hehe! We abandoned the idea of the sponge thing and went for plasticine and clay. They didnt have clay. So we went over to evergreen at pp to see if they have clay. Yupz...they did. But in the end we didnt buy the clay. instead, we bought paint.
I wanted to really eat ice cream!! but decided not to in the end...coz no one wanted to eat!! =(
Btw, met Justin Tit, Bernice and DaHong at PP! So scary la..they were in pacific coffee in mph and then justin tit calls to ask if i was going to the ladies when ya, i was in the ladies. He saw me going in from mph. Dianne was cute by saying, " you mean you are in here also?" hehe. I didnt even know they were in PP.
we went off to dianne's house and began on our proj. The process was fun!! We really enjoyed painting and creating lots of lame jokes. I really enjoyed being with them especially having not seen them for a month! =D
The end product looks like a roasted chicken. At different angles, it looks totally wrong. hehe! Pics would be up at a later date.
I just hope the proj was done well!! All in all, we spent 2.5 hours making it. But spent 3 hours buying the stuff!! hehe!! But it was enjoyable!!
Went home to kembangan for dinner!! It was great tasting mum's cooking again!! The upsetting days are over!! And i am happy! =D
As usual, dad sent me home to PR. Hehe!! Love ya lots! *muacks*

- Someone to pack my room (I have been packing for the past 2 days and my nose has been itching from all the dust. And I can't seem to find a place to squeeze everything into the cupboards.)
- A pretty watch (Accidentally broke the other one...haiz...)
- "Xiao Zhu" Luo Zhi Xiang's "Cui Mian Show" CD (Just saw that on TV. and watched the funny Taiwanese shows that he hosted in. Quite cute! hehe!)
- A beautiful hairclip (Need one to clip my hair. It's getting a bit long again...)
- A new pencilbox (For the new year...)
I shouldn't be asking for much...
I just want everyone to be happy.

I am beginning to miss everyone!
TKChoir, MJChoir, KXFZ...

I am brought back to reality once more. I cannot want everything. That's seen from the above things that I have listed. If those simple things cannot even be attained, what about greater and tougher things in life?
Take things as it comes.
Next year isn't going to be an easy year for most of us. That incls the Year 2s and sec 4s -to-be. It's a tough society.

Apple: You are an Apple!!! You are very common. You have tons of friends and people like you, although you may get the occasional enemy. You are good looking on the outside and you have a very good inside. You have your own group of close friends and you like being with them. As an apple, you have nothing too weird about you. You are probably just another average person. But there is something special about you.

I am back!! From "A Voyage of Songs 2005" in Shah Alam, KL. There's lots to blog about! Knowing myself, this entry is going to be long, with a lot of minor details and everything. I want to keep a good memory of this trip as i regret not doing so for the Genting trip in 2003. I would try to keep it short and sweet...hehe! Here i go!
-----------------
Nvm...i tried to blog in detail. But i got tired. so just deleted the whole lot. Maybe the overall impression and thoughts would be sufficient to keep in memory.
Overall, I did enjoy myself and the whole trip was filled with mixed emotions.
I was stressed by the onslaught of emotional stress that i was going to face during the competition. However, I had to overcome that coz I was the one who really wanted to go for the trip and i shouldn't have cold feet at that point in time.
I almost brokedown at times that I shouldn't have. I controlled. Especially at the encouraging moments where some TKchoir members calmed us down; when they assured us everything would go on fine; when the teachers (Mdm Goo, Ms Wang) encouraged us...it was touching...and Mr Toh who went on crapping, trying to calm us and everything... and the hugs that we gave to the ones closest and dearest to us...i loved that time...Also, when it was time to part with my TKChoir juniors at the Grand Finals. And when we(mjchoir) parted outside school...
I really brokedown (typical me) at times that I knew i would...when i felt that i screwed up some parts of the performance; when i saw others breakdown; when i really could not control the emotions that stirred up in me; when i heard the announcement of results; and not forgetting the words that came out of sam koh's mouth. The words were hurting. But it was for the good of all of us. She brought us through the journey of Ashita like what she did the last time for us during SYF for Ave Verum. Hurtful memories were brought back... Emotions aroused. And my heart still hurts whenever Ashita is sung. Thanks sam!
I was very happy, elated, over the moon...when the results were announced; when TKChoir got to perform again at the Grand Finals; when I met up with my TKChoir juniors and when close ties were formed between them; when love and confidence spread and many other occasions.
I found out many things about many people this time round and it was a great time for bonding. I spoke to people whom I never thought i would ever to in my life. I spent the whole time with people i didnt think i would have spent great times with them. I spent my time pigging out with a bunch of gals who had large appetites, though they look real thin. I ate cup noodles for 3 nights in a row. I ate lots of junk food. I talked a lot. I screamed a lot. And i love this joke!!
I drank.
Beer.
ROOT BEER!!
=D
I really enjoyed myself this time round and I have to really thank many people for this enjoyable and successful trip.

Thanks for bringing us lots of joy and happiness and bringing the excitement level up!
----------------------
The connecting door to you han and carine's room was great! Thanks to jwen, weslie and rui hong for exchanging rooms! If not, we wouldn't have enjoyed ourselves as much as we did. We had a party on the 3rd night. With food going around and playing games. Laming around. And the animal concentration game really brought us to the peak of the party. Thanks to all who were so sporting and joined in!
The next night which was the 4th night, we thought we could have played until such highness again, but i was a spoilsport and kept falling asleep. I was tired out by the running around the day before and the day itself. The day before, Ber, You han and I were shuttling between Mjchoir, Tkchoir and then Mjchoir's competition. It was tiring. And the 4th day itself, we went shopping at Sunway. did lots of walking. in the afternoon, results were announced.
MJChoir 2 Golds. (Folklore and A1 Open Mix)
TKChoir 2 Golds. (Junior Youth and A2 Open Mix)
And coz the Estonian TV Children's choir was so darn good, they won 2 Categories. So TK, being the 2nd highest, could perform in the Grand Finals. We had to go back again to Concorde and change into our gowns and then join TK for prac at GrandBlueWave Hotel again for the Grand Finals. It was great! I performed with no stress though there was a lot more people than that competition itself. We performed Meplalian and Dumbelle. It rained again! hehe! So cool! It rained during our competition for the A2 Open Mix when we did Dumbelle. At right times also. =)
It was seriously an exciting experience and a tiring one also.
The return journey was filled with songs that we once sang for our concert and competitions...
Though the trip ended without a debrief and in no formal manner, we know that it wont be the last day and last time that we would be meeting each other again. We are still young and the road is still long ahead of us. We have lots to do and MJChoir would still remain strong as the baton is passed from batch to batch.
When would this batch of MJChoir choristers meet again?
10 May 2006!

I think I have been singing too much. I am getting tired of what I am doing. Really need to break away from singing if not I would really lose all emotions and get sick and tired of all the songs.
It was great going for a session of pool today with Jtit and Rui Hong. Thanks to them for being patient with me while I played real bad. Especially Rui Hong who almost wanted to vomit blood through the whole session. Haha! I showed a bit of improvement today. However, those were like tyco shots lah.

I am seriously exhausted.
Was at Siglap South for 7 hours straight just now!
10am - 1 pm: MJChoir prac
1pm-2+pm: Workshop with TK, AH and TPJC male chorus.
3pm- 5pm: TKChoir prac
I performed 11 songs today. Running here and there between TKChoir and MJChoir. It was tiring and difficult to have to change mood etc while we performed the various songs. It was fun though!
I have no regrets in helping TKChoir in this competition. It's my pride and honour.
I don't know when I would or would even have a chance to sing with them again. Their effort and unity that they portrayed today after the practice was heartwarming and the speech that Ru Hui gave was piercing. In a good sense though. I could see where they were aiming for. I could see that they really wanted to.
MJChoir is progressing well toO!!
But it's scary at how time passes so fast. Next tues would be the last time that we would be with the seniors. I really don't want to think about it.
There is going to be choir prac again tmr. and i want to make full use of all the time that I have with my seniors and all the choir members! My hols this year hasn't gone to waste.

I am a weakling.
I can't handle stress.
Instead, I add stress onto others.
I can't handle impromtu situations.
I can't handle things that don't move in my way.
I breakdown easily.
I affect others.
I can just sing Ashita and cry.
I know the feeling of sadness.
I know the feeling where you want to do to your best of abilities...however, things are hindering you from doing so.
I know the feeling where something that's to be done doesn't get done and it has adverse effects on others.
I don't want to harm MJChoir. No way can i do that!
I don't want to put MJChoir in a bad position.
I don't know... I don't know...
I feel weak... I can't take it...

MOST GREATEST THANKS THAT COMES SINCERELY FROM MY HEART...
Gerald, Xiang Rong, Bernice, Ying Chuan, Da Hong and whoever else that consoled me today.
The most impt person was Kok Yong, who was with me through the whole saga. Thanks for putting up with me while I showed the unglamourous side of me. Thanks for thinking of solutions for me. Thanks for being the great senior who would never let me take on everything by myself. Thanks for going through this even though you have already stepped down.
Sorry for any trouble and inconvenience that I have caused to anyone.
Thanks for understanding and letting me know that I aint alone.
Thanks for letting me know that it's not my fault though i feel i bear some responsibility.
-------------
My attitude is wrong.
My attitude towards any crisis is wrong...
I get all panicky. Not really my usual self i thought though. However, i think i am beginning to become like this. Maybe I am getting too pampered? TOo many helpful people around. Haiz... -------------
