when night falls...

2010-09-15T21:52:00.000-07:00

Hello.

Haven't blogged in a while. A long while.

My head has been filled to the brim with music these few days! Cello exam yesterday (Honestly, I know you only appreciated my sight-reading) and MEP practical today.

They were alright. Minus cello. Obviously.

Now there's only a few weeks left till EOYs. I need to start revising like soon. Like today. Like NOW.

So off I go.

Till the next time when I feel like blogging again :)

2010-08-11T20:55:00.000-07:00

The only fair thing in the world is time.

Everyone has time.

Not a second more, or less.

How do you use it?

How do I use it?

I've wasted so much of it away.

It's slipping through my fingers; I've just realised how slippery time is.

Like velvet.

A translucent veil over my eyes.

I've lost my way.

2010-08-04T22:42:00.000-07:00

I survived.

A cause for celebration?

No.

The battle is never-ending.

Bullets sprayed; I got shot.

Once. Twice.

I've stopped counting.

I've stopped worrying.

I've stopped caring.
A moment of hesitation and I would lose.
So I won't think.
I won't hesitate.

This way, I would win.

2010-07-23T23:36:00.000-07:00

Bring me overseas for the whole of next week.

I'm going to live like a zombie during week 5. Maybe even after.

What can I say.

Just live each day as it comes.

Now what.

My intonation sucks. My technique sucks. My rhythm sucks. My expression sucks. My memory sucks. Just because I don't say anything doesn't mean that I can't hear myself play inaccurately, with the wrong bowing or whatever.

It doesn't mean that I feel nothing; that I think that I'm the best and that my playing is perfect.

I know.

I have feelings too. And a life. Which I want to start enjoying once more.

But. Life's not about what you want. Nothing goes your way. Because when it does, somebody else would be suffering.

So how can I force it?

2010-07-16T23:25:00.000-07:00

Sectionals was nerve-wrecking.
I was like shouting all the way until I almost lost my voice. Haha nice work basses, you guys were awesomely loud (Y)

I hope I did alright. But I kind of felt like I was talking to walls or something. It's really hard to continue when there's almost zero response to what I say. How to survive till SYF?? DDD: WE SHALL WORK HARD TOGETHER AND PRACTISE!!

From now on, I shall faithfully respond when the teacher asks, "Any questions?" during lessons :)

I'm seriously freaking out over next week's assessment :( I don't want to lose my post after only taking it up for one week - WTH?!

For the next few weeks, I'm practisting till my fingers drop off. Then I'll sew them back one by one and start the cycle again.

Okay GROSS ALERT.

But I'm really going to DILGENTLY PPRACTISE. At least until I grow blisters. Hope this drive lasts me through this period.

2010-07-09T22:14:00.000-07:00

Okay I don't know what to say for Chinese oral.

Can't believe it's so similar to my mock-oral topic! But I actually rather have a topic I've never seen before so weird. And the examiners kept laughing. Was it anything that I said that was so hilarious?? Omg and seeing them laugh I ended up laughing as well so retarded.

FAREWELL DDD: I AM SADDED. Almost cried during some of the powerpoints ): I'm missing the awesome green badges already!

Thanks so much for the notes and gifts :) I really appreciate them. Now I'm really starting to feel the stress. GWH. DIE DIE DIE. Every letter I received mentioned it. I can't believe I'm starting to feel stressed already. I shall try my best to lead the section well. Can't let the seniors down!

The videos are gonna take ages to upload. Dang.

2010-06-29T23:35:00.000-07:00

OMG THANKS FOR ALL THE WISHES AND PRESENTS AND CARDS GUYSSSSS :D LOVE YOU ALL LOADS <3<3

Haha awesome cake just now! And this would be my one and only post on the day that I turn fifteen COOLNESS. Oh yea, and happy birthday to all else who share this day with me!!

I <3 U-Kiss :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY DONG HO :D

2010-06-24T12:03:00.000-07:00

English oral tomorrow OH MANZ.

I haven't done like a single preparation and I don't plan to haha. Maybe just read a few passages or something.

The rubber band is definitely gonna affect my speech -.-

And now off to do math. I lead a real happy life yea.

2010-06-23T07:12:00.000-07:00

Now I know how it feels like to be a... cooler.

And it feels like I'm just being used. Used for you to relieve your stress and frustration and whatever screwed up feelings you had that time and then throw me aside when you're done ranting.

I can listen to you but don't take me for granted.

It's not like I don't have feelings or something.

I'm living and breathing.

But I won't turn away when you need someone. I'm used to it already.

So what.

2010-06-22T11:27:00.000-07:00

School's starting next week.

Lessons starting next week.

Tests starting next week.

Chinese 'O's starting next week (I'm so gonna kill my HMT teacher)

Homework starting next week.

Super-stress starting next week.

Waking up at damn early time starting next week.

COULD LIFE GET ANY BETTER??

2010-06-05T21:39:00.000-07:00

MEP CAMP WAS AWESOME MUCH <3

While others are missing RMUN, I'm missing MEP camp. And my GROUP 8: AWESOME ALLEGRO :) Love you guys ttm manz.

Yea the first day was awkward. Seriously. We were all stoning like nobody's business. But the second day was like WOWZA. Played murderer and some other lame games while the other groups were practising their items HAHA. We still won the most creative group award kayz - ALLEGRO FTW~

Looking forward to strings camp now :) Ehh, not so much the election part. Everything's just so transparent. It seems like there's no use even if I try. Giving your all doesn't really work in this case.

Anywayz, here's our EPIC performance. Enjoy XD

Getting to know you, getting to know all about you~

2010-06-02T21:24:00.000-07:00

MEP CAMP!!

Ehh the beginning was kinda dry though. And they split us up in groups!! D: Damn sadded. But. It became better; there's like loads of singing and dancing:) The singing part was funny, some of the guys broke their voices when they strained for the notes omg epic. And the instuctor was awesomez. SHE SINGS SOOOOO WELL.

Loved the choreographing part for our, ahem, extremely small-scale "musical". Looking forward to the performance tmr:) OH. I still have to memorise the lyrics haiz. This is a pitch-deaf person here.

Later peeps^^

2010-06-01T23:35:00.000-07:00

AWESOME MOVIE TODAY GUYSSSSS <3

You people made me laugh until my stomach hurt! And OMG the EPIC VIDEOS :D We must have another one SOOOOON.

Love watching movies at home :) Our convo throughout was epic hilarious manz. Although it was my what third time watching it, I still cried can't believe this.

MEP camp tmr. Have to wake up damn early can. Haiz why ACS(I)?? Dover rd is super far for most of us. Anywayz. IT HAD BETTER BE FUN :)

2010-05-27T10:25:00.000-07:00

I HATE PEOPLE WHO KEEP TALKING TO ME WHEN I HAVE MY HEADPHONES ON.

Isn't it obvious that I'm listening to something and can't reply anything yet? Haiz.

Anywayz, going for SO prac later. Another irritating thing. Is that activity that important? And the pieces that we are playing are so retarded. We can practise on our own, seriously. Damn useless can.

I'm looking forward to the piano ensemble performance later :)

2010-05-25T16:05:00.000-07:00

I am jealous.

IJ tp peeps are all complaining that school is boring. Do you know how much I wish to say that? Have a day when there's nothing going on in school and to complain that I have nothing to do.

Bio test tomorrow.

Sucks.

I'm living for the sake of living.

2010-05-23T20:40:00.000-07:00

AHHH haven't blogged in ages. Busy like hell.

JUBILATE VII. OMG. Awesome man. I wanted to upload pics but decided against it cos there're just LOADS. Like a few hundred if I include those that I'm tagged in. Too lazy HEH.

Okay so maybe a few. Just a few :)

SNSO is LOVED <3

White badges :D

No, I'm not gonna upload the one with THE POSE ;)

Epic. Poor cellos in the toilet D:

Cello - whites!

Jan and lee looking very ehh... ENGROSSED :)

WASSUP??

Whites again :D:D

Love you awesome senior!! <3

AWESOME C.E.L.L.Os!! <3

Love the escalator :))

Thanks for the encouragements and also the lovely flowers guys :)

Kayz I shall be very nice and not upload the unglam pics haha.

Jubilate, I miss you! And I'm really gonna miss the greens D: Ohh our last performance with them that night. Glad that we had loads of fun and created many precious memories that are here to stay :')

IT WAS AWESOME ttm.

2010-05-08T22:46:00.000-07:00

So obviously I'm gonna blog about camp.

I MISS CAMP. SERIOUSLY.

I miss.. everything. Even those imperfect moments a.k.a bathing times and such but these moments made me cherish the really wonderful times spent with AWESOME 3 HOPE, the instructors and st nicks. This is really the best camp that I've ever gone to.

Ever since P5 camp, I've always had a phobia of camps. Yet this one made me realise a whole lot about myself and others; I really treasure every minute of it.

The instructors - Danson a.k.a Handsome a.k.a Hamsome and Janaine a.k.a Pikachu (omg I'm reminded of pokemons and "Bieberblast hah!") really made this camp meaningful. I honestly want to thank them for passing on to us so many values and for their "nagging" sessions:) They rock ttm.

I doubt anyone would want to read through my superbly long list of the things I miss about camp so I shall just keep it in my head. The memories feel like they've just been rolled into one film which keeps replaying. Aww :')

<3 3 HOPE TTM

2010-05-02T11:03:00.000-07:00

Strangely, I'm starting to look forward to camp.

But. I'm still dreading the sleeping part. Cheat my feelings! Since when did proper beds = wooden floorboards?! WTH are they thinking about. It's so irritating; I can't seem to sleep during every camp that I've been to.

And I realise how much I don't like texting. I never know what people are actually thinking, feeling and whether they really mean what they said. Or is it just a facade?

Sometimes, people say they don't have the time. But if they really meant it, they would have made time. Then it dawns on me; yea they might not give a damn at all.

Anyway. I'm soooooo looking forward to Jubilate:) IT'S GONNA BE AWESOMEZ.

2010-04-28T21:37:00.000-07:00

Yea it's OVER:)

Can't believe they actually tested china music!! >.< Cheated my feelings okay. I was totally studying jap music. Just sort of glanced at my notes then I was like Oh it's china music, sure won't test one! *IGNORED THOSE NOTES*. Damn it. Anywayz, it wasn't that hard. Manageable.

Now my mind is all mixed up with music history. It's taking up my precious brain space. Argh go away please.

Schoenberg, you are very scary. What's with the Sprechstimme thingy?? I'm going to get nightmares tonight:(

Chinese oral tomorrow. But I'm not caring. Can't be bothered, don't know why. Ah shall just have an impromptu crapping discussion with the teacher. Just keep talking, just keep talking...

HAHAHAHAHA I SUDDENLY FEEL VERY HIGHHHHHHH. I've been laughing at things that I should be worried about omg. HIGHNESS.

I'm so going to sleep early today. Tried to wake up at 5:30 to revise MEP this morning but failed miserably. And caused me to sleep through 99.9% of today's lessons. Most sorry to uncle teoh; I slept through 100% of your lesson hehe.

Shall try to read through some chinese oral stuff. And do some *ahem* long overdue math homework:)

2010-04-27T17:35:00.000-07:00

I am very tired.

No time to blog again. Still have an AWESOME load of stuff to revise for tomorrow's MEP test. Screw it. I'm going to fail everything.

When are my dear June holidays coming? Please don't take your time okay. I need it real badly:(

Next week - camp. Not looking forward to it. I so won't be able to sleep for those 2 nights. Oh manz.

My mind's in a whirl now. Everything I'm typing seems incoherent to me. I... don't know what I should be thinking or caring about now. Other than revising. And other school stuff. I suddenly feel very detached from my surroundings.
Good luck MEP peeps.

I need a while to gather my thoughts.

2010-04-14T23:52:00.000-07:00

Finally, I can sort of breathe a little.

It's getting harder to find time to blog; school's just getting more hectic by the week. Haha, what's new man, this is Singapore's education system. Rigid as ever.

Impromptu speech. Omg. And I just had to pick the topic about space exploration. Okay, to the teacher who chose this to be one of the topic, news for you, I DON'T INTEND TO BECOME AN ASTRONAUT. And I have no interest in space whatsoever. So I obviously screwed it up. Yea, just crapped the whole way through. At least it's one less matter off my shoulders. They're breaking already, seriously.

I feel suffocated. Literally. Sometimes I find it hard to breathe. Ahh, most probably to do with stress. Week 5, damn massive load of tests and stuff. Tired with no appetite lately oh man.

Anywayz. Had another council outing on Saturday. Actually it's kind of just Hi, same council people, walk walk, play play, okay bye sort of thing. We must have another REAL one soon:) Maybe the next school holiday.

Spent like $8 on a haunted house called the Happy Hospital O.o Yea so you have people acting as undead patients and doctors who try to scare you but end up getting shocked themselves-.- Like this supposedly undead patient, she screamed so we screamed back in response and she ended up being frightened instead of us. DAMN FUNNY. We were practically laughing throughout the whole thing HAHA.

The hamster ball thingy was super fun. That was totally the highlight. I want to go for it again:D

Pics spam!! Credits to gen and kym:)

2010-04-05T16:59:00.000-07:00

Awesome first ECOSOC 1 outing on Good Friday:D

Couldn't find time to blog about it at an earlier date but anywayz, just know that it was EPIC FUN. You know we rock:)

Played captain's ball (though not before finding a prettier tree to put our stuff - hilarious debate), built sandcastles, took pics and ate together^^ Thanks for the fun you guys, and also to GA 2! <3 ttm.

2010-04-01T22:59:00.000-07:00

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS' DAY!!

Today was awesome. <3 3 Hope ttm:D

Played loads of pranks on the teachers today. Greeting teachers in different languages and wearing our pinafores backwards! OMG EPIC. The view from the back was damn hilarious. Oh man, didn't get to take any pictures:(

The cute Chemistry teacher strikes again! He only realised that our pinafore was worn the wrong way at like the last few minutes of the lesson HAHA. Then he had this really frustrated look on his face >.< By then we were already bursting with laughter and he finally got it. MERRY CHRISTMAS:)

Switching classes rocked totally XD Cute Chinese teachers played along and everyone just laughed like mad.

Happy Birthday YC:) I like eating cakes with spoons^^

Nutella chocolate cake. YUMZ.

EATING CAKE WITH ORANGE BOWL'S SPOOOOON:)

Thank you uncle for letting us use your spoons:D

Anyway. My tongue just burst into flames during dinner. DAMN YOU CHILI I KNOW THAT YOU'RE HOT BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO SHOW OFF DX.

The relative of the sinful chili. WTH IS WRONG WITH YOU.

I am now officially in love with my saviour - apricot jam <3. Plus three ice cubes:)

2010-03-31T23:27:00.000-07:00

I feel sleepy everyday.

It's like a permanent sort of thing. After recess and ESPECIALLY during math. No offence teachers but I can't control my eyelids. Blame them for being too heavy. And the trainee teacher just had to pick on me yesterday.

"Can someone wake that girl up?"

WTH YOU WERE ONLY SIDETRACKING AND TALKING ABOUT H2 MATH IN JC OR SOMETHING. Couldn't I just rest while you were not teaching math? What's your problem. Now she likes to pick on me to answer her questions. Including today. And most probably every single day after yesterday. I bet it's just to make sure I'm not asleep during her lesson. Whatever.

These 2 weeks have been quite slack. As in there was at most only 2 tests for 1 week. But coming week 3 and ahead... I shall just be an ostrich.

Omg coordinate geometry test in week 3. The triple science classes are taking this paper also = it's going to be DAMN HARD. Let's not forget impromptu speech. I'm so going to screw that one up.

Loved today's lunch. Haven't had such a brainless crapping session with my friends for a super long time. Just talked about stuff and passed the time laughing. Love you guys:D

Anyway. Good Friday is being good and coming real soon:) Awesomez.

I like Big Bang:) LOLLIPOP 2 <3

2010-03-26T22:42:00.000-07:00

I forgot. I love Fridays too:)

Yea, told myself to study yet here I am blogging. Total failure.

NO. Must go study after this post.

I'm like arguing with myself.

I realise that I don't like something else. People who talk incessantly for what. To gain something that is not rightfully theirs. And apparently getting this unrightful benefit in the end. LIKE WTH. What about the others who unfortunately dare not speak up but are entitled to this benefit? Plus it's not like you were so bad off at the beginning; YOU WERE ABOVE AVERAGE. SO STOP IT ALREADY. Being so proud over getting it and telling the whole world. Who cares.

Sorry, just have to let everything out before I explode. It's not meant personally; I just don't like this behaviour. Nobody who reads this blog will understand what I'm talking about anyway so yea.

Jubilate = Memorising scores. Omg how to memorise Dvorak properly? I might just blank out during the performance and stone. And I'm seriously out of tune. MY INTONATION IS KILLING ME. My cello must hate me or something.

Okay, so I said that I would study. FAT HOPE haha.

2010-03-24T23:00:00.000-07:00

I am happy:)

Thanks for the virtual hugs guys; really appreciate them. Cheered me up loads. LOVE YOU PEEPS <3

And also because I am sort of free for this week. BYE BYE TESTS and don't come back again kay.

I love Thursdays.

Chemistry was epic hilarious today. Omg the teacher was totally talking about some spiritual warfare and how he engaged in some battle with the spirits from the other world like what the. Damn funny and seriously didn't know how to react. I think he has that "third eye" left open and he should go and close it somehow like soon. Really. Oh and for sudden encounter with spirits, must feel free to call him for help. HAHA.

HOWEVER. I am also seriously pissed off by the juniors in my school today. I've told this to many of my friends today but I shall just repeat everything because I am still pissed.

I do not like people to touch my things. Especially strangers. So it was like free period, I went to the MEP room and accidentally left my pencilcase there when I left. Then after recess, just before Lit test (which I totally flunked), I realised that my pencilcase was missing. Yea so I went to retrieve it and got the nastiest shock of the day. Went inside, saw it, picked it up and that girl went like, "NOOOO!!". And bewildered me soon turned into SUPER PISSED OFF ME when I realised that everything was poured out of my pencilcase. Being fiddled with by some random people. I DO NOT LIKE STRANGERS TOUCHING MY STUFF. And what the hell were they doing with things that were not even theirs?! What's more, the whole class laughed while they returned everything to me. WHAT THE HELL IS SO FUNNY I ASK YOU.

The others have already heard of this but yea, just felt like letting everything out.

I screwed Lit. Anyway.

Tomorrow is going to be a day to slack in school. No tests finally omg.

Happy:)

2010-03-23T22:45:00.000-07:00

School.

Another term, yet not another beginning. Thanks to the tests we got back these 2 days which are already keyed into the PPR.

SCREW YOU BIOLOGY.

It's going to pull everything down; no wait, it already has. Can't believe that my Chem and Math are like better than Bio. Term 2's PPR is already like don't know what. And I'm definitely going to fail tomorrow's Lit. Real badly.

Good Friday, please be good and come soon. Like now. Come, come, come. COME.

And Jubilate:)

But that's in week 9, and there are loads to do before then. Can I not care anymore?

Everyday is so mundane. Everday is the same. Until I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

I need a hug.

2010-03-19T21:05:00.000-07:00

I MISS SCMUN 2010. AND MY BELOVED ECOSOC 1 council and people there:(

Omg and it's only 2 days after the closing of the MUN and I'm missing it like crazy.

This delegate of Australia motions to extend the SCMUN till forever.

I miss the protocol. I miss my placard. I miss everyone there!

Really look forward to an outing with my most adorable "ECOSOCKS 1" council:) I WANT AN OUTING. And I really hope that all of us can keep in touch with each other; made so many new friends there. I want to go next year too. But yea, I probably won't have enough time.

Us awesome delegates of Australia and Saudi Arabia:)

Yea, you know we rock :D

DnD - the ultimate highlight <3<3

It was totally awesome. The hall was decorated really beautifully, and of course, spammed photos!

Hahaha black and white! <3

And for once, gen is taller than me. Credits to her 4 - inch heels:)

This is THE MASKED DELEGATE of ECOSOC 2 - he totally can dance O.o. Popping!

DPR Korea V.S Germany + ZARA paper bag

AWESOME directors of ECOSOC 1! <3 them!

Niken!!:D

Gorgeous mask, no?

Yep, there's also a delegate from Christmas Island, Australia. The authentic Australian delegate representing Canada:D

The masked delegates of St Nicks TOTALLY ROCKED SCMUN 2010 :D:D. Love you guys!

Randomness after the DnD..

Denise's pretty bangle:)

Now, let's welcome THE MOST AWESOME ECOSOC 1 2010 COUNCIL!!

WE ROCK.

Why does MEP camp have to clash with RMUN?! Seriously sadded. Some of the delegates from my council are going as well = UNFAIRNESS. MEP camp had better be fun.

I am still missing everything and everyone. Never expected to feel so attached to this. Thanks Miss Law for giving me and everybody else this opportunity, and wish those who are going for the RMUN good luck:D

SCMUN - ECOSOC 1 2010 RULES ALL <3<3

2010-03-15T22:40:00.000-07:00

AWESOME DAY. Nerve-wrecking though.

The whole thing's like super formal. To what extent? We can't even laugh or clap.

"Laughing is not in order" + "Clapping is not in order" = WTH.

I almost burst out laughing when the director said that. Many things made me laugh today, even during the debate:D

But towards the end, the whole thing got too much for me and I almost dozed off - thanks to sleeping at 1:30a.m in the morning.

I loved the whole experience, especially the voting part, minus the opening speech. Now that part was humiliating AGAIN.

After my speech, my mind just when blank and I forgot to say the all-important "This delegate now yields the time back to the chair." So I just stood there like a noob until the chair hinted me and I remembered-.-

Once again, China, USA, Germany and Italy had the most heated debate. Plus DPR Korea, Ethiopia and Nigeria who joined later. I just sat there and listened, sometimes taking down notes, most of the time in *eyes-wide-open-but-sleeping mode*. And omg the debate for the first issue is STILL not done yet.

Right, off to prepare my opening speech for the secondary issue. Must sleep earlier today!

2010-03-15T00:13:00.000-07:00

I am seriously going to die young at this rate.

Can't believe I'm still preparing the notes for tomorrow's conference. Feeling damn sleepy and tired.

And I'm going to humiliate myself again. Luckily they're going by alphabetical order; I'm sure to get a nervous-breakdown if I was one of the last.

Believe it, the council will be debating for at least 8 hours for only 1 issue. OMG. How am I going to survive? O_o

But I should be glad that I'm not doing the resolution. Credits to my HCI ally, who's still online and completing it. And who's feeling as sleepy as me. Thanks alot man. We're both going to nod off some time soon.

Half my March holidays goes to preparing and attending the conference. It's an enriching experience I guess, so I should just make the most of it.

Off to complete my opening speech. Wish me luck for tomorrow XD

2010-03-12T15:30:00.000-08:00

I might as well not be having a holiday.

I'm not even at home most of the time. Check out my "schedule".

Mon: SCMUN, 8a.m to 5p.m

Tue: same as mon

Wed same thing except till 10 p.m (!!)

Thu: CCA

Fri: Chem consultation

What sort of holiday is this?

Oh yea, and let's not forget our VERY WONDERFUL TEACHERS for giving us SUCH LITTLE HOMWORK. So lovely.

I hardly have the energy to go on anymore. Forget about counting on the holidays to replenish my energy for the new term; it's making everything worse. I want to just dig a huge hole, bury myself and not worry about anything else again. But no, reality hits you too soon, and real hard.

Realise that I'm whining again. Too bad, life's just become such a bore.

2010-03-03T21:39:00.000-08:00

I want to slack for the whole night. Real badly.

Had like 3 tests today. The worst was Chemistry. I already suck at it okay, so it really DID NOT help that the questions asked were so indirect. Totally going to flunk it. Anyway, before the test, Pearl was like,"Good luck everyone!" and practically the whole class chanted back good luck to one another. It sounded quite comical but so sweet:) <3<3 3 Hope TTM!

I'm already slacking. Omg why I am I still here blogging? I must get started on my Math homework soon, like NOW:(

I can't do graphs or anything like it for nuts. So I am totally going to flunk next week's A Math test. The whole chapter is on graph-like questions! Unfairness.

Apparently, I can actually wait for this year's March hols. I don't know, maybe it's just that there's no difference in going to school and staying at home. I mean, there'll be loads of homework and revision and stuff. And there's the UN thingy also. If sec 3 life is like this, I really can't find any reason to look forward to sec 4. WHAT TO DO.

I should just stop whining. Peeps, ignore this post; I'm letting everything bottled inside out. Realise that I should change my blog's url, because my life's just not that awesome anymore.

Got to get started on the wretched Math homework. Later then.

2010-02-27T21:00:00.000-08:00

IT. IS. OVER.

Hey, I survived:) It wasn't as bad as I thought; I even made loads of new friends today.

I seriously hate the uniform. And I can't believe I actually walked around in it in ION when I went for lunch. Got some seriously odd looks like, "What the?" and practically everyone raised their eyebrows at us. My feet have officially died for the day.

Anyway, it was actually quite frightening when we went into the waiting room. But then people automatically came up to us to form alliances. After that, the whole thing's actually kind of fun. Most of the alliance making part went something like:

Me: Hi, I'm Australia, from council ECOSOC 1. You are?

Random person: I'm USA. Let's make alliances!

Yep, so it was actually quite easy.

The ACSI and HCI people can TALK man. The moment they introduced themselves, they started on their stance immediately and I obviously couldn't catch up with what they were saying. So I just nodded my head and acted as knowledgeable as I could-.-

The presentation part wasn't as scary as I thought it would be either. Although I did embarass myself today, as usual.

I really didn't know how to answer their questions. So I ended up getting this single statement:

"The delegate of Australia needs to do more research on blablabla issue."

HUMILIATING.

And another one, because I kept forgetting to speak in third person:

"The delegate is reminded to speak in third person."

Sigh. What more can I say? On the whole it was fun:) Especially the part on making alliances and meeting new people.

Looking forward to the Masquerade! :D

How hot can it get?

I'm sweating buckets now; there's no wind AT ALL. And still working on the notes for tomorrow's conference. Just realised how much I sound like a middle-aged working person - I am not.

Totally going to embarass myself tomorrow. I am not looking forward to wearing the councillor's uniform. It's totally designed for winter! What's up with the scratchy long-sleeved blouse and blazer? And the sinful court shoes. My feet's going to hurt like crazy.

I felt like sleeping the whole day today. Especially during the first few periods. I think I have mastered the art of sleeping with my eyes open:)

2010-02-22T22:34:00.000-08:00

I'm dying for this UN thing.

Australia, why can't I find enough information on the net about you? Every time I read the facts, my eyelids just close involuntarily. Then I find that I have been zoning out, staring at the same paragraph for 15 minutes without having any fact going into my brain. I could totally do with some brain-booster. HELP.

The conference is on Saturaday. ARGHH. I don't have enough information to talk about! Seriously, I think I'm going to talk in circles, repeating every point for at least 3 times. Then I also won't be able to answer the director's questions. Which makes everything a whole lot worse. What pharmaceutical patents (did I even spell it correctly?) and application of nuclear technology in developing countries? I even had to search for the definitions - DIE.

The situation on Saturday would most probably go like this:

-Me preparing to talk for 15 minutes on my own for those 2 topics

-Me not having enough information, therefore resulting in serious case of crapping

-Directors rolling eyes, then shooting questions which I obviously cannot answer

-Someone shoot me in the head, please?

Yep, so you peeps may not see me the next monday after the conference.

Shall stop getting distracted and get on with cramming more facts into my bursting head.

2010-02-20T14:55:00.000-08:00

I KNEW IT.

I knew that I wouldn't be able to find time to post. I'm sleeping at like, 12am almost everyday; I'm going to die real young.

And a belated Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Valentine's Day to darlings! Love you guys:)

This was the best new year in my fifteen years of life. I got to have a full reunion dinner with my grandparents, uncles, aunty and cousin:D Loved every single day in Beijing.

I set off firecrackers! Awesome experience, except that my leg almost got burnt by one firecracker which sort of appeared out of nowhere. The deafening crackers went off from morning to night, seriously. Created the ultimate new year atmosphere^^

I shall upload the pictures soon:)

2010-01-30T16:16:00.000-08:00

I have come to relive my blog:)

I must try to post more in the future, MUST. School's super busy, I feel stressed - what's new?

Come to the edge.
We might fall.
Come to the edge.
It's too high!
Come to the edge!
And they came,
and he pushed,
and they flew.
-- Christopher Logue

I shall try my best to fly above my stress. Must keep going!

Life's too short to be sad. Look forward to Chinese New Year holidays - overseas to China:D:D

Anyway, I feel real stupid now; I just managed to lock myself out of my own toilet. How awesome am I. The key can fit into the lock but apparently, it can't turn - what a useless key.

Going to HCI concert later. I may just sleep through the whole concert and waste my $8.

2010-01-04T15:50:00.000-08:00

School starts today.

Air-con classroom! Yea that's a BIG PLUS. Super comfortable. And the classroom is like damn long. Oh man our form teacher's going to change the seats tomorrow. Lazy to change.

I got called by 2 teachers today. I mean, they're just teaching me for the first time and they just happen to like to call me? Anyway. The first was the most awkward one - I was called to sing Sorry Sorry to the whole class. Laughed super hard because I didn't know how to react. Then everyone started laughing:D Funny man. I have decided to officially name my form teacher the "Sorry Sorry teacher":)

Got called during lit too. But that was nothing, just that I had to sort of describe a scene in avatar. Interesting to see how the teacher can twist whatever I said into the lit essay structure.

Went to recess 10 minutes late because of the mumbling chemistry teacher.

I'm not quite used to school yet. Loads of tests in the coming weeks and more ARGHH. Not looking forward to them.

Yeah, Sorry Sorry! In courtesy of the "Sorry Sorry teacher"

2010-01-01T20:34:00.000-08:00

YO PEEPS. Happy New Year:D:D

I meant to post at midnight but was just too lazy. Anyway, my clock is so inaccurate I kind of wished my family happy new year when there was still about 5 minutes -_- Then the countdown came and I rushed to the balcony to admire the fireworks:)

And avatar in 3D was not as good as I thought. Still awesome though. I expected everything in the movie to sort of jump out but it actually looked pretty much the same as the normal one. Everything just looked, um, further away? I have no idea how to describe it. The glasses hurt my ears too:( They were throbbing when the movie finished - evil glasses!

School in 3 days. Awwww WHY DO HOLIDAYS PAST SO QUICKLY?! Test in first week. Spent some of my holidays studying chinese. What kind of life is this.

Shall just take it in my stride. Later then.

2009-12-25T18:33:00.000-08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! :D:D
Went shopping just now to get my present. Cake later:)
And I went to watch avatar yesterday. It was AWESOME. Seriously. Damn exciting. My fist was clenched so hard throughout the movie that it hurt when the movie finally ended.
But the whole experience was sort of spoilt a bit. Apparently a power trip had to happen at the beginning of the movie. Wasted 15 minutes okay! I actually thought that it was some sudden twist in the movie when this very "pai seh" person came out to explain what was happening. Anyway, it is still one of the greatest movie I have ever watched and everyone should catch it. I'm going for the 3D one next week:))
Going to orchard to admire the christmas lights after dinner. If only it is snowing!

2009-12-23T09:40:00.000-08:00

Okay, so today was the performance.
Eh, I don't think they people in the hall could hear us. Even may chan at the backstage also said it was very soft. The mics were of no use. And the hall is an open space so I doubt the back people can hear anything.
The sec 1s looked bored. Can't really blame them since I think they can't hear us.
The stage is super stuffy! I almost suffocated and I was sweating buckets. At least the playing was quite okay.
Two more days till christmas :D:D

2009-12-22T15:05:00.000-08:00

String practice today.

I almost lost my way to the mep room. Luckily I managed to tag along with some SO people. Anyway, the mep room stinks, and it is kinda small. At least we have air-con and carpet so I guess that's something to be grateful for.

The school is real colourful now. With all those cca banners I saw when I was in sec 1. Nostalgia:)

Practice was.. okay. Except that I can't really play in tune still. Plus I have to play alone -_-. Hehe good luck to all of us tomorrow.

I have to wake up damn early tomorrow man. Not looking forward to it.

Shall practice some more later.

2009-12-16T20:15:00.000-08:00

Hohoho CIP:)
My long overdue one okay. I haven't been doing my CIP. SADDED. Anyway, luckily amy asked me to go for this one. Thanks alot:D
So, it was quite fun actually. Although we didn't really make much (how depressing) but it was a nice interactive CIP. Not so much the interactive part though. Some people just walk past without looking like as though they are deaf/blind/deaf and blind. But I kinda expected that so, no hard feelings.
Nice people do exist also. I shall sincerely thank them on this blog for buying the handicrafts. Thanks so much! Next time I see anyone sell this sort of things, I will definitely buy them.
Then each time someone bought something from us, ys and I screamed and shouted and gave each other a huge hug:D
Yep, and xavier and dave were super funny. Xavier can talk non-stop man. He never stopped talking from bishan to jurong east and back. But it's funny so we sort of laughed all the way.
Dave is damn cute! The sort of little brother kind of cute. Got "bullied" by almost everyone today. It was a laughable CIP.
I'm going for the same one tomorrow. And nicholas demanded that we sell everything. Haha, dream on.

2009-12-13T20:29:00.000-08:00

Went to watch a violin and piano competition today.

I like the poster:)
Super long. I was there for like 4 hours straight. Luckily they had intermissions; I might have gotten butt cramp or something.
And I realised chua also entered the competition! Coolness. Although today was only the finals.
Okay, so all the participants were like professional performers. It's as though they perform a hundred times a day, no kidding. But each person played for SUCH a long time, my eyelids started drooping after 15 min.
There was this violinist, he was practically dripping with passion - and his hair was all floppy while he swayed so much I thought he was going to fall onto the audience. He played really well though so I think he won.
Awesome competition. Which cost $20 -_-

2009-12-12T16:14:00.000-08:00

YO. WWW on thursday.

My first time. And man were there lots of people.

It's not as big as I thought. To make full use of the $15 (!!), we played for several hours straight. Yep we repeated loads of them but it was still fun:)

I like ULAR LAH :D I hate the mat though - those blue bathroom like mats made my feet hurt like crazy. Plus we also had to climb stairs covered with them.Yeuchh.

I hate the ground there. All those spiky stones that prick you like don't know what. Thankfully my feet didn't bubble up with blisters.

But the water was warm. I like:)

2009-12-08T11:23:00.000-08:00

I'm getting addicted to baking.

I shall bake more cookies for Christmas:) Anyway. I was baking those double chocolate chip ones yesterday and the first batch turned out burnt -_- Real bad. Apparently, I couldn't see if they were getting burnt since the colour is so dark so I acted on instinct. Which failed.

Never mind. Plus I also ended up with a scar on my finger. Why do they make the frames of the oven METAL?!?! Man, it hurt. Now it's just sort of greyish and popping up. I'm lucky it's not too serious.

I look forward to thursday - Wild wild wet!

2009-12-04T12:23:00.000-08:00

Movie outing:)

Went to plaza sing to watch new moon with joce, shan, lee and yy yesterday. I kind of got lost at dhoby gaut; i couldn't find the way out to plaza sing -_-

So I went up and down the escalator for don't know how many times to find yy and lee. Turned out we were talking about different exits.

Anyway. The movie was okay, just that half the time I couldn't make out what edward and bella were saying. Especially edward. So throughout the movie, I was like,"What?", "Huh?", "You know what he's saying?". Stuff like that. I ended up missing some conversations and didn't know what they were doing.

And joce was screaming almost each time jacob came up on the screen. Hahaha super funny, especially at the part when jacob took his shirt off and there was a super loud scream from her:D

After the movie, we took some pics at the some secluded area in the mrt.

Yep. Look forward to eclipse next year:)

2009-11-30T16:00:00.000-08:00

I've just finished baking:)

But I've demolished most of the ugly looking ones - cookies with charred edges and spotty brown bits in the middle are not flattering. Yummy though.

And I totally forgot about checking the website for my allocated class today. Anyway. I got into 3 hope. Surprise surprise, I don't actually like the name hope. It makes me kind of hopeless, to say the least. I don't know why. Maybe it's because of the new environment and the making of new friends. I've never been an expert in that aspect-_-

Plus many loyalty people are going to diligence. I'm going to miss those who are not in my class.

I look forward to a new beginning. Pray that the teachers of my class are good; that would make things a whole lot better.

2009-11-26T18:22:00.000-08:00

Yay, I found my wire.
Okay, so here are the photos as promised :D

This is our "police department school". This side looks normal but the inside... Let's just say it's our uniform in building form:)

Yy, jan, lee and shan imitating the workouts on the yellow board behind them. Lols.

One of our more successful photos... a bit blur though.

Em, a quarter of jocelyn's head?

HAHA check out shan's hand! like sort of - what's up?

Now half of jocelyn's head. Whoops:)

Yea, the most perfect one. In the toilet:D

2009-11-25T20:35:00.000-08:00

Hey.

Today, I shall dedicate this post to the last day of school cum sports day cum moving to holding site.

Shall start off with the morning. Guess what. I actually overslept today. I was supposed to wake up at 6 a.m but I ended up waking up in shock only at 6.30. How awesome is that -_- Then I went into a frantic search for my name tag, found it, then rushed to school.

On the car, calista smsed me to say that reporting time might be at 7. The clock said 7.05. SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME.

But no big deal in the end. Went to join my blue house people... and sports day started. I wasn't very excited at the beginning, but later, I found myself screaming for the competitors till I nearly went deaf. I enjoyed sports day:)

Then it was the moving out part. We got onto the bus and soon, we saw our holding site for the very first time. Not fascinating. It looked like some police department because of it's colours - blue and white doesn't go very well together for a building. Maybe it's influenced by our uniform.

After the welcoming session at the tiny hall, shan, joce, lee, jan, yy and I toured the school. And throughout, lee kept talking about the school being haunted and people who have died there before. Really spooked us out. I can't believe we are taking our 'o's there!! :O

Anyway, after our tour, we went down to this open space (I don't know what it's called) and took some pics. I shall post the pics at a later date when I've found my wire.

After that we went for lunch. Wanted to eat at macs but it was too crowded. Turned to kfc but no space. So we went to toa payoh central to eat.

Finished eating. Then shan, lee joce and I went to have a walk around. We went to courts to look at stuff. Before this, I said to lee at kfc that she should get married to the television. Simply because she is addicted to it. Then at courts, joce sort of hooked her arm through lee's, so I said," Her tv will get jealous, you know."

Following that, joce kept asking non-stop who was tv. Super funny!

"I like him alot", lee said.

Then I said that I also like "him", except shan, who doesn't like tv. Then joce asked whether tv has facebook and whether we had tv's one. HAHAHA.

"I don't like tv then I don't add him lor", shan said and we burst out laughing. Later, we gave her a clue that tv has 4 syllables. Smart joce, got the answer finally:D

After walking for a while, shan said that we should take pics since we were all wearing all 4 different colour tees. We went down to the front of Cheers to ask people to help us take. Hahaha we hesitate like don't know what while shan kept pointing to suitable "targets" - the funky mum with gladiator shoes, security guard and lee mentioned the ah ma walking by. In the end, we tried to take ourselves. Failed many times. But managed to get a few decent looking ones. In the toilet!

I laughed so much today, I almost got a headache. Anyway, to my friends who have siblings getting back their results tommorrow, good luck to you all! :D:D
(what a long post!)

2009-11-24T18:27:00.000-08:00

I have nothing to do again.

I do not look forward to tomorrow morning - WAKING UP AT SCHOOL TIME. Oh man. I might just oversleep.

And tomorrow's also sports day. I want to feel excited but I'm not. Maybe cheering for my house will make me feel more enthusiastic.

There will be so many goodbyes. I shall consider bringing my camera:) I haven't decided whether I should write farewell notes for everyone. I'm only about half done with dear tay lilin's present; I think I don't have the time.

I especially do not look forward to moving to the holding site:( I will miss the present site and everything else in it.

Okay, shall end here. Post more tommorrow:)

2009-11-21T15:18:00.000-08:00

I've just come back from going out.

My parents and I went to plaza sing's starhub to change some cable thingy and while sitting there listening to some starhub person explaining stuff, this half-bald guy started shouting and scolding this poor chap at the counter.

"Wah you don't know how to calculate these figures then get help la! Waste fifteen minutes of my life, listening to you um, um, um." This sentence was repeated constantly for the next half an hour. Plus his voice was SUPER LOUD and he stood so close to me, I nearly went deaf. Even his wife got frustrated and told him to shut up. Unfortunately, he only stopped for about 3 seconds.

I will never be able to work in this industry; I simply do not have the patience to tolerate people complaining about nothing. One career option crossed out for me, I guess.

The other day, Ys was talking about being an interpreter. I honestly think that they are talented, to be able to translate languages in a matter of seconds. Maybe I can join her, hahaha.

Shall play piano now. The cat and the mouse!

2009-11-20T14:26:00.000-08:00

Afternoon.

I am full (for once), and tired. After an episode of chasing my hamster. I cannot believe how fast it can run even being so FAT. Really. You can hardly see it's legs when its running; it's just a ball of fur!

So it ran around under the cupboard, the sofa, everything really and ate dust along the way. Plus it was almost electrocuted - it thinks wires taste nice. After running around in circles with us chasing behind, clever hamster escaped under the sofa. And stayed there. Luckily my dad got it out (I don't know how), with a feather duster.

And now I'm bored. Maybe I shall go read a book or something.

2009-11-19T18:15:00.000-08:00

Hey people.

Today was fun. Went out with shan and lilin to orchard and watched my girlfriend is an agent. IT WAS AWESOME. Really funny and practically laughed my heart out at some scenes. I've never laughed so much at a movie before so this experience is really something new. Loved every minute of it :D

2 movies in 2 weeks! I want to catch one every week but my mum would probably start complaining about me wasting money.

I want to go out every week. Must keep promise to dear tay lilin, hahaha.

Almost forgot. We also took some neoprints there and lilin was whining and refusing to take with us. "You all go inside and take. I wait for you all outside." Exactly what she said. Must be something to do with a bad experience of taking neoprints. Haha.

BUT.

She ended up taking with us anyway :)

And now I know I must choose the bigger-sized ones. Otherwise I can only see our faces with a magnifying glass. Seriously.

I shall look forward to another movie.

2009-11-13T18:40:00.000-08:00

Hello again.

So... today was a fruitful day.YAY. I went to watch 2012 with Jocelyn and her friend and it was AWESOME. They should have it in 3D, seriously. Then I can drown in the virtual tsunami... Maybe not.

Okay, then I remembered my tuition teacher saying that NASA scientists had to really go ahead and prove that the world is NOT going to end in 2012. Apparently people have to come to think that movies have become real for no reason.

Amanda Lee, you really should have come. Although I've already told you how awesome it was on Jocelyn's phone. Hahaha : D : D

Right, after I came home, watched a little tv (I'm addicted), I logged on to the computer. And messaged people to link me. My phone vibrated non-stop afterwards. Haha thanks people, for your super fast replies. Remember to tag!

Now I'm getting hungry. I swear I will grow fat during the holidays.

Later then.

2009-11-11T16:14:00.000-08:00

Right, I'm bored again. How awesome is that. And it's raining. I hate the rain.

I want to go out more. I can't stand it, staying home all day and rotting. I assure you half my brain cells are dead, because I have been daydreaming all day.

I want to go for CIP :) Make my life more interesting instead of just staring blankly at the tv all day.

ZZZzzzzz
