all good things must come to an end.
two weeks to the end of the choir season in college.
music-making has been such an enjoyable part of my college life, and unnoticably an integral part of my own life, as i learn how music-making has been such a joy in this mere one-half year in college. three words to summarise the extraordinary and pleasurable music-making experience here would be : passion, integrity and love, truly. it is how music-making is fuelled by ultmost passion by everyone in the choir, how mdm maximises the true integrity of the music through our voices, and how it is fuelled by everlasting friendships between singers and the relationships forged between the teachers, us and the music. it is through the many tireless hours, at times gruelling and painful, that progresses one's music-making abilities and sensitivity. these one-half years here in college, though at times pressing and painful, have taught me much as a young person, about decision-making and values that one should possess to go far in life (hopefully it works)

on another note, i'm really :) that i've finally got hold of one copy of lisa ono's "Dans Monile", her take on french jazz and standards that i've always wanted to grab, last night. :) more music to savour during this intensive and increasingly stressful year. :)))

hey kim would really wanna thank all the people who remembered her birthday!
choir, inez, yueyue :), megan, faith, kamyan, family, edna, ivan, lixue, ruoshan, liwen (smsing from australia!), yanting, evelyn, klara (called/smsed/posted! :)) ) , cheryl.. :)))) thanks everybody!

and i'm really glad we made it through the syf, so now it's all about the concert! :)
music-making has really been an extraordinary experience that is definitely worth all these time creating, and how so much effort, passion and perspiration every single being of the choir have put in into making such wonderful music, not for fame, honour and glory; but to bless, to express all the music has to offer, to God, and to everyone in the audience; how every performance is not just interpreting the music and expressing it, but also spelling out the composer's intent to the limits; and this experience can't be bought with money; but only with time, and bonds forged ; having wonderful friends you enjoy singing with; and wonderful music chosen for us to sing!

I can't believe this is ending in less than one month's time.
No. it's not ending; this is but another chapter - neverending :)

Though they did not get the "recognition" they wanted, it was obvious they were just getting better and better! :)))
Joined cheryl, munkit, cheehow, tzeyang, yanting and tianjun and ms ong :) for dinner @ limbang mac's (like the last time! omgzzz) and I really dont want to leave coz reunion with the bunch was undoubtedly fun, exchanging results and lots of things that are happening around us. :) JUST A PITY IT WAS A THURSDAY (school on friday! :(((((( ) so emily and I would have to leave earlier :( grrh.

lots of stuff were running through my mind today.
sometimes i felt that there were stuff that i shouldnt have had to be worrying about, because its stuff that i already should know by now. but there were also moments that were worth capturing and precious trains of thought that was filtered in the windows of my mind, such as a desire to pursue music at a higher level, as inspired by mdms ultmost passion and dedication to emphasize and demand full integrity of the music, in many many ways that were confirm worth admiring and learning from.

perhaps it was pre-existant complacency from relatively more productive and fruitful music-making on monday, but it could also be the tire mentally and physically, as one burdened by a lot of worries on upcoming events, tests and other challenges and obstacles; but everyone else living on this planet has his or her own worries too. maybe it was me not "mugging" my scores hard enough to know all the intricate details that others can easily identify without looking at the score, or that we are always consistently reliant on others whom we somehow believe to be more superior (in the skill) than us, and so we let our guards down. I do not think that that is the way to go. Someone else could be "better" than you at doing something because he/she had put in the effort to do so at that moment and moments, minutes, hours and days before; nobody gets a free lunch in this world and consistently practising and putting in real effort, in both the quantitative AND qualitative aspects, can then lead you to the path of success, on par with others, or even overtaking others. It is important for us to reflect, think through and consistently revise and practise the right stuff for us to actually progress, not just in acquiring a skill, but in life, as a person.

Hopefully, I can really really have this mindset! :D
Anyway. I just swam 20 LAPS TODAY :D

15feb: mdm(s) recital at the esplanade was undisputably wonderful : how mrs teoh's fingers were truly beautiful, the reasonance of each dissonant chord of Kabalevsky's Sonata N.o 3 Op.46, especially so- such accuracy, and hardwork were seen from her fingers sweeping across the octaves of the black/white keys, with so thorough emotion, and intent from the written score, (so much that I wanna learn that! :))) ) Mrs Tay sang with so much professionality, how she tackled the sacred arias in the first bit with so much courage and confidence in her really really beautiful voice (high, clear, reasonant.. the list just gets better and better!) and the later part of the recital with faith and her sisters, as well as with another Singaporean composer, Ms Rosita Ng, who composed and arranged many of my personal favourites with a distinctive musical style. :)

school has been still rather managable nowadays, though I struggle to finish my homework sometimes and sadly, still HEAVILY lack the discipline to sit down and dedicatedly do my long-due revision sessions for chinese, history, math, gp, economics. (well, that's EVERYTHING.) and TERMS IS IN 3 WEEKS! YAY~

ps: i want life= adagio NOW.

valentines' day 09 :)

haha. vday this year was spent a little different from last year : choir practice, welcome tea, KAP with megan, home, attempted to date my homework apparently to no avail, rewatched full house, eating watermelon.. and Miss Fung (a.k.a fatsam) WASNT HERE FOR PRACTICE TODAY. :( not that i miss you but that there'll definitely be much much more fun if she was there this morning!!

really thank all those who wished me happy valentines' and showered me with sweets, apples, flowers and PERSONALIZED NOTES OMG. :DDD i'm too lazy to show but i probably had like more than 10 sweets and 2 flowers from the choir boys. (guys, men. haha.) we reciprocated in the end okay. and i really wanted to play the L-O-V-E song on the piano this morning. just that i was a little late than usual today. GRRH. oh wells :)))

welcome tea was fine, and we finally got to meet our juniors, who were really really nice people as well, can't wait for wednesday! :))

and i particularly love this line from one of nodame's fanfic i found on http://community.livejournal.com/the_s_orchestra/

"The absence of a sound is never silence, it's the space between notes, where one can stop and listen to the audience listening to you, their everyday ordinary lives suspended for a moment, all because of you. It's not silence, it's breathing, it's the unique moment between heartbeats."

- reminds me of something about a rest on a musical score and what it meant ; how we were supposed to not break the line at that short little rest drawn on the musical score at that point of time, but to make the line even more flowy, how to prepare for the next musical phrase; which was nothing i had ever thought before before mdm explained it earlier this week (though i dont remember the exact words she said)

it has been quite a ride this 2 weeks since school started, i guess i'm feeling more ecstastic rather than gloomy (surprisingly) with the expected upsurge of knowledge download and packed schedules, amongst devastatingly true phenomenons of mass p.e, more and more p.e, and trends to doze off in class, (sadly)

history classes have been rather fruitful, though I would hate to ever finish those essay outlines due like last week or so. Just when I've completed these outlines, it was announced that it might be counted for CA- a reminder to persist and give 100% and all ideas and information that I have stored in my puny brain into some good 4 to 5 essay outlines and essays?

i just failed another of my chinese lit tests, as usual.
but among all these failures, i thought this very first test in this brand new year to be considerably important, and i had a little confidence to actually pass this time round. it is starting to get all worrying because of the importance of this academic year, a mentality of "I can't possibly fail, lose out!" is developing someplace in my head right now and I guess I need a serious gear-up!!

I love the potential SYF piece for choir :) btw. hahaha.

2009-01-12T22:21:00.003+08:00

-
- people i adore so much :)

school's just starting and off we go for another year of hectic schedules and hurried deadlines, tests, tutorials, lectures and many many independent learning assignments, readings and such, but it is also another year to celebrate and strengthen friendships, and forge new relations, letting bygones be bygones and make the best of another blessed year given to us.

Having been to the 4D Chalet last Saturday, I've met many many of my ex-classmates and friends whom I have not seen like.. a year or so? after we've graduated. I miss many of the wonderful times I've spent in 4D and meeting the bunch really brings back so much. Like meeting our hysterical Wei Shan and GB girl T.Huiling, Guitar Hero Darryl, laid-back looking Hongda.. it has been a great time, though I don't know how to play Guitar Hero (which Ami, Faza, Eve got so hooked on!) of course, Shu Wen and AH PU CHINNNNNN. it's real nice to see those two again! they still look very much the same (except for shu wen's fake-looking eyelashes)

btw, i love my new timetable <3

Christmas this year was so much different from the previous years, that I did not receive any physical gift from anyone, but many other things touched my heart like nothing else could.
A christmas card from joelle, grace, victoria and gail really warmed my heart, thanks girls :D, and all the christmas blessing smses, of course (haha i sent so many more, but that'll just wait till the phone bill comes). Quality family time was also part of the formula that I really appreciated, though I spent much of my time on the web checking out facebook).. and we made japanese pizza! (though I cooked the worst. hmph.) and we had oven-roasted chicken from the supermarket, and mashed potato we concocted ourselves. :) absolutely worthwhile.

and the whole new idea of carolling : klara and I watched evelyn's carolling session at concorde hotel, though we ran late and missed much of it, but I'm glad we went. Both of us enjoyed it tremendously. :)) We had goosebumps when they were singing :)
+ Evelyn, Liwen and AD2 peeps went to watch us carol :) It is much more comforting to sing to an audience whom you know, at least for me. Carolling was quite hectic, but it was quite an experience. I miss it a little. But I have lots of stuff and deadlines to meet, so yah. :)

hi fat sam and auntie faith :D

2008-12-23T22:17:00.002+08:00

IT'S LESS THAN 2 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS :DDDD
this year i learn about the true spirit of giving and not about how many presents you receive, as it is in the giving that brings about true christmas joy to both the giver and the receiver! although presents will be very much welcomed :p
it's really meaningful this year, with a chance to carol and spread the christmas joy to so many who have been audiences this week, and indeed, chances like this don't come a knocking every day, and especially with my batchmates, this was like the only chance. 7 days, 11 sessions :))))
mixed feelings i do have, sometimes accompanied by feelings of tire, and fret and worry and such! but we have much more to look forward to, like syf and learning of competition pieces, openhouse, meeting new juniors and such..

auntie faith has kindly given me a christmas note-card :) THANKS!
gosh, i'm lazy to send cards this year again. haiz.

all i want for christmas is.. you :))))

Well, most things are over and more things have yet to begin!
Phew, ATCL is FINALLY over, but I don't really know whether I should be glad or not. I fumbled just too much to feel secure now about a possible pass, but I'm quite relieved that this heavy burden is finally off my back and that I can learn a lot (whether I pass or fail) from this never-had-before kinda experience. Well, there's nothing I can possibly do now but await for the results?

World Youth Choral Festival/Symposium was also over (yesterday), and I am quite glad I was able to attend and sing despite me not feeling too well :( . We sang Spring Dreams, On Suuri, n El Hambo :) and and and meeting evelyn, MS ONG & AMY, and the choir made every moment on stage worthwhile :))))) making music, creating magic to people so familiar and with so much love. It's comforting and heartwarming to sing, knowing that they will be in the audience, and so I try to sing all that I have, to sing and portray stories we try our very best to paint, to translate the very message we have in our music in our very own language, that is, true beauty of music.
It was very much like a family gathering.. and I truly enjoyed the next half of the concert, not as a performer, but as part of the audience, sitting in with the most favourite bunch of silly kids who adores singing as much as I do. Finally heard VJ choir 'live' after hearing so much great things about them, indeed, they were REALLY GOOD. the words were articulated, the change in dynamics and creation of sound effects were quite prominent and obvious... Indeed, to be a great musician/singer, a very important element lies in the listening, and not just the technics and skills to hone your craft. It is in the listening that develops one, and directs one, on how to further improve your craft, how to avoid possible mistakes, and even one's attitude towards music, how to create, how to seek new interpretations and such, invaluable.

Carolling season officially kicks off next week so here's the schedule:

15 Dec (Monday) 1230-1300 Prudential Tower

a conductor's hands are like those of a magic wand.

one wave of her hand, even a single minute bend of a finger, creates magic,

as voices start the painting of a new phrase, or end it with a beautiful fade-off,

with different colours on their musical palettes,

deep and rich velvet, crimson

light-hearted and innocent shades of baby blue and pink,

it's just magic.

- random thought during choir practice today.

as we had our first combined practice for "The Christmas Song", this was what ran through my mind, and it's always so amazing how just a little wave of the conductor's arm, and even a minute bend of her finger can shape the singers' way in singing the tunes, phrasing, and everything. it really takes a lot of patience, confidence, and much musicalities and whatnots to be able to do so, and so I'm really grateful and truly admire our dearest conductors :)

one week :)

Perahia's recital was .. love. <3
Breathtaking. How he could display such sensitivity on the keyboard was absolutely remarkable! Claire and I adored his rendition of Beethoven's Appassionata. I don't really know the songs really well but how the notes resounded and tinkled throughout the concert hall, how every note was deliciously showcased and carefully dealt with, how agile and yet sometimes ferocious his fingertips can attack the instrument, was indeed a mind-blowing and ultimately inspirational performance, that is truly unforgettable.. although I was sitted at Circle 3, but every single note was clear and phrasings and melodies stood out, resounding clear as they hit my eardrums. It was definitely worth it. All passion and soul.

Too bad I can't make it for his masterclass last saturday :(

2008-10-18T15:57:00.002+08:00

Just back from choir practice :)
Today's rehersal was quite well done, just that i seriously need to know my scores much better! ANDANDAND MONDAY is going to be one busy day- the ASEAN delegates are coming to ACJC so we're performing (and thus skipping PW :D)
Next week is going to be quite boring. I guess. Only PW AND PW AND PW and one little pd of H1 Chineseeee. :>

I REALLY WANT TO GO FOR MURRAY PERAHIA'S RECITAL ON FRIDAY!
but it's so expensive, I can't get Claire or Huiling to go with me, and also persuade myself to pay so much. There's chinese supplementary that day too, so I don't know howz. Not FAIR, Claire gets to go for Perahia's masterclass on saturday, while I have Chinese supplementary and choir practice! *pouts a little* I'm dead sure it's goin' to be SO fruitful, and inspiring! I need that spark of inspiration to push on with my mozart piece, which is so NOT fun already, and I can never get myself to play it full, or without any technical mistakes and flaws. Maybe it is that that made me distance myself from that piece, I guess. :(

Sunday- Meeting up with PW groupmates, for OP rehearsal
Monday- ASEAN Delegates @ ACJC
Tuesday- OP Prelims Rehearsal
Wednesday- OP Prelims, NE Journey
Thursday- Piano Lesson
Friday- Chinese suppl, PERAHIA'S RECITAL@ESPLANADE, ulupandantuition
Saturday- Chinese suppl, Choir

post-promos days were.. really unexpected. i totally had no clue but i guess i would probably get an 'A' for being a true blue slacker :D. here are the achievements : (i) completing "When it's at night"/LeeDongGun+Kim Sunah in 3 days; (ii) catching mingzhong tv telecast not once but thrice, (iii) meeting up with eve over spinelli cookie spin and MOS, whilst discussing storylines stolen from our adored nodame! (iv) attempting to complete unfinished h/w and tasks at the last minute (i.e now), (v) having a deep sense of satisfaction after digging out long-lost treasures (ie. MY treasures) and buying rilakkuma cafe collection FILES omg. :); (vi) squirming over delightfully-packaged stationery at A'N'BC; evelyn commenting that i fell for the trap despite being an econs student; (vi) listening to salut d' amour almost every night :D , (vii) fallin' in love with strings, more and more. AFTER the open house. so jealous zz. (viii) time to practise piano! finally <3

HAIZ. Z.ZZZZ , 6) a miracle coz i didnt feel too sleepy despite me only sleeping for 1/2 hour the previous night. thanks to "when it's at night" 7) in all.. fun! to see our seniors in their secondary school uniforms! >.< (8) air piano playing with huiling in the bus :) POLARBEAR:D

i don't really know what's going to happen after promos - i think its going to be another hectic month ahead. i dont want. :( *feeling whiny :p*
pw, chinese, pw, chinese, pw, choir, choir, open house, acgames, RESULTS, everything's painted with a thin layer of uncertainty and i can't view within that opaque layer. it just doesnt seem right and i'm out of motivations to move on. somehow. :(

2008-09-26T21:02:00.002+08:00

good.
promos just STARTED today.
and almost EVERYONE else on this island (at least from jcs!) are having their great time celebrating the end of their promos! like evelyn, ami..

mugging season: KAPwithshing/sweeying and JEwitheveamilaohim!:)
oh. its "mugging" season. coz i'm very very noisy and distracts people a lot with my collection of highlighters, so-called "flower", post-its and qoos and mutant Qoos (tm) HOHOHO. and my mouth wont stop talking .. and talking.. and talking. :p no choice.

gp is like dead today so i hope the others will be fine.
have to pass 2 h2 and 1 h1 to promote! shall work hard okay kim :)
thanks everyone for their encouragement! i was really scared of gp this morning! like i had a bad dream about gp having essay questions that were totally foreign and how i freaked out. it almost happened this morning, or so i thought.

Alright. less grumbling, more typing (NOT msn/email or whatever ok! i'm hardworking and i'm typing history essay outlines and notes! HEEE HEEEEEE.)

GOOD LUCK FOR EVERYONE WHO'S TAKING PROMOS OUT THERE :D

the choral tour (260508-050608) was undoubtedly fun as we bath ourselves in an all-new lifetime experience that few can ever experience, it was really heartening and inspirational at some level.
newfound glory, fresh new sounds & sights, SHOPPING [HAHA], new people, new lifestyles, jetlag,.. the list's exhaustive and never really ending.?

bagged back glories, but more of that are made up of life lessons & music lessons - attitudes and more ways to make gorgeous music that moves and touches the heart..
music-making is truly a rare but beautiful experience, shall feed it with passion, integrity and love :D

all these music's really getting to me, but it's great as i find new stuff in the process everyday!
thanksgiving last saturday was delightful! and i've got my skirt fixed and still looks gorgeous! :D HAHA SEE ME IN CG 6JULY!
it was kind of special, it was quite a pity i didn't know my scores well enough but we got to sing "ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL" and that's priceless! (:

Evelyn, er. napfa..er. :/

And if i missed anyone out, i didnt mean to! :) Thanks

Choir rehersal was long today, but I thought it was especially fruitful! :)
Evelyn and I went for hwachong choir concert yesterday! :D They had precise articulation, even for their English pieces, which I thought was a remarkable effort. Gosh, there were SO MANY hwachong people there. HEY I SAW YOUR TWIN I THINK. :]

lastyear:thisyear = rmb/didnt

2008-05-05T20:00:00.003+08:00

i'm NOT doing fine for schoolwork but i guess i'll have to stop giving myself excuses and mug hard. jiayou :D
pw is such a chore, totally agree with dearest julitta!

last week was so crazy because of labour day- we had a photoshoot! haha you'll see that ugly picture of mine in the choir concert programme notes, and i was like standing in the first row for MOST of the pictures, my dearest elephants will laugh their trunks out. :( and braces. HAHAH

GOOD LUCK TO HUILING FOR HER DIP(ABRSM) THIS THURSDAY! :D
i dont know what will happpen to mine.
i so want claire's fingers for my atcl !!!!! grrh. too bad i cant have hers. :(

2008-04-20T22:00:00.003+08:00

first and foremost, i would like to apologise to celine for the jacket thing. :( so sorry i thought you misplaced it! coz we both don't have any impression of whether you or i took the jacket. it was so weird. :((((

and alright. back to everything else.

every single note, every single dynamic written on the score,
is truly meant to be followed to fulfill the integrity of the music,
to fully express the song as the composer's music.

truly, true music is nothing without integrity.

it has come to me that that is what music truly meant.
i haven't given it much thought, so i used to just either follow the score blindly,
or not to follow it at all.
this being able to truly express the score to its maximum, or infinity, is what music really means,
expressing the message the composer wanted to pass to its listeners,
the image the composer is trying to paint..

indeed, artists paint on canvas,
composers paint on silence. ( i forgot who said that :P)

2008-04-13T20:19:00.001+08:00

hohoho :D
jc = ~~life~~

DEFINITELY.
I COMPLETELY AGREE :(

2008-03-05T20:15:00.002+08:00

nearly two weeks in ac but yet, i don't really fit in.. i guess :(
but the ac experience was like whoa.
founder's day, where faith & i were dressed up smartly with the ac tie, stockings and court shoes, like the rest of the choir.
the performance was .. unspeakably.. beautiful. the sounds so gorgeous and reasonating i can't fully describe in words.
then last saturday's choir rehersal was a serious eye-opener. i had just received 6 scores from the day before that i couldn't fully digest by the next day so i was practically sightsinging. the voices and the sound was so magnificently projected and reasonated throughout the cosy HR, even though we were all sitting down on our chairs. scores were analysed with such precise detail and expectations, that it seemed almost perfect already..

lectures were usually boring and everything (but its probably the same elsewhere) and the afternoon make-up lectures were omgosh, so tiring! :/ so ya ting [HSING!] and i somehow end up at the library watching movies HAHA. <3
1AD2 :D celine's in my class~ WOOTS X] chenyang too, with lixue, yusi, zhanghui..>.<

most of the time i spend in school are either with silin or hsing YATING, or celine. :)
but superhuiling's my bus-mate (something like that. since hsing is always on some bus later than me. silin too.)
thank you all for being such great buddies :D
too bad we ALL have DIFFERENT subject combinations! :(

my subject combination's so crazy i already feel suicidal: H2 HIST H2 CLL H2 ECONS H1 MATHS. :////
and beetsma (gorgeous!) has been such a great H1 MATHS lecture-mate. too bad we'll be in different tutorial groups :((((((

and i want that ILOVEAC file! :) for free can- ahah xD

omgosh. i miss kranji so much again. and klara. and the rest of the zoo. JULITTA,RACH,KLARA! :(
and choir people EVE YANTING WEIEN CHERYL .. omgosh. :(

2008-02-22T22:03:00.003+08:00

its 3 days after O2 and i'm lovin' it.
i love ig22 (anw ig= index group =_='''' )
omgosh there's 6 ODAC-kers in my ig so yah, they were kinda outgoing and active :]
ppl in my ig were nice ppl i think ( i guess i'm the worst.. lols)
i guess i can remember all the names now.. yah :D
but many came for 1st intake.. and i'm CLUELESS about the mass dance, although i LOVED IT (surprisingly.)
the bhangra part was the BEST! (:
tyty junyi & david for TRYING their best to teach. (to no avail =_=''' its kimberley, you know!)

the games were kinda fun and everything!
but were GROSS can. (i heard O1 was worse.haha xD)

I HAD TO CHANGE MY SUBJ COMBI 2 TIMES. but i was eligible for 4H2.
in the end i took HY,LIT,ECONS, h1maths. coz they DON'T offer chinese in cjc. :(
and jeanie went over to pj! :(
navin went over to aj :(

finale's tomorrow. :D

2008-02-14T20:37:00.003+08:00

enuff said :D

2008-02-14T20:24:00.003+08:00

sent liwen off 2 days ago.
she's studying in australia now, i guess. she started school today.
time really flew- i knew her when i was p5, and she was my first and best friend in primary school. :D
how she patiently taught me (to no avail) how to do those friendship bands, how we used to gossip and chat in the canteen, ..
yah, now we've gone our seperate ways, once again- now much further-7 hours away. :(

sent her off with pearlyn :D
met at cityhall after 08A01 lunch @seoulgarden <3
heard that xianfeng got them godiva chocs after the lunch! too bad i left early :((((
anw terminal 3 looks cool lah. :>
didn't really explore the place coz we were lost sheep :p
then we met this huiling from phpps! we didn't really know each other lah, but she was liwen's bestie(s) in stmargs.
yah, but she knew pearlyn. and she's also taking diploma this year..! :DD

we'll miss ya, liwen :(

2008-02-09T00:20:00.000+08:00

every little thing that you say or do,
i'm hung up, i'm hanging up on you..

- "Hung Up" Madonna

oh well.
homework's kinda piling up, alongside chinese readings
and the book about princess masako i borrowed several days ago.
getting kinda tired and feeling ill recently. :(
and it's cny, so i can't eat all the goodies! grrrh.
it's about one week and three days to posting. all the best! :)
i feel guilty. (about somethings. haiz.*)

2008-01-31T23:44:00.000+08:00

Slacking and sleepy.
Today's lessons & tutorials etc was the worst combination of all the days (except tuesdays where there's PE!)
eyelids were so droopy i almost fell asleep during history tutorial when we were watching Nicole Kidman's "The Interpretor"
muscles were aching and there was econs test today. :((((((
i absolutely can't make things out of econs. its weird.
now i'll have to reconsider my subject combinations next time. ahha.

then i went back to kranji for peer tutoring & pure hist dinner :DDDDDDDDD
i totally can't remember any things about sbq and i screwed up. thanks janine for her every existance.
i felt brainless today. probably because i'm terribly tired and lethargic.
so i was practically useless. la.
i only go there and confuse ppl..

pure history dinner @ lotone SIAMKITCHEN ROCKS.
sat beside pearlyn, thweeling, ahpuchin, atiqah, and ami <3
we wrote a big big big card for mrs ram (proudly designed by faza and sab. i tink.. :p)
and gave her a photoalbum :D
so touching...
thanks mrs ram for everything :)
we love you (:

and its yj's birthday today anw :DD

2008-01-30T19:40:00.000+08:00

JAE-IS applications are over and i don't know what to do, really.
Everything's become some kind of lethargic, and draggy.
Probably because I know that most probably I wouldn't stay in pioneer, although it has been a great school until now.
The culture's very much like Kranji, with relatively amiable people all around- OG30/08A01/kss friends who have come over..,
and everything's quite cosy and nice around here, (including canteen food, cafe) and I quite like learning Chinese Lit over here.. it's not bad. Maybe because I'm kinda accustomed to everything here. and it's near to where I stay.

Why I didn't stay on was most probably that arts wasn't said to be strong here in pioneer, and I would definitely want to pursue arts in a better school, so to say.

Yep, but I'm glad I've made good friends here as well (: Melanie, Ruoshan (from primary school) as well as Ruimin. I also do adore 08A01- about 5 are staying, priscilla's putting acjc as 1st choice too, some wanted to go ajc and some to poly courses. ALL THE BEST PAE 08A01 <3

I really do hope I'll get into my 1st choice jc (acjc) through posting. Otherwise I'll have to start preparing appealing documents. In anyway, I really really really do hope that I can get into ACJC Choir because it'll be such an honour to join them! (:
Thanks to Hope Mi for being such a great senior who has filled me up with recent ACJC stuff and activities (:

Can't wait to (kp) go for SS Peer Tutoring tomorrow + Pure HIstory Dinner :D
It's a pity that there's ECONOMICS TEST TOMORROW :(
haiz, jiayoujiayoujiayou (i didn't mug. die.)

And i'm missing kranji
so so so much..

2008-01-27T14:23:00.000+08:00

this may be coming too late but its sincere. :)

great hugs & thanks to those who've helped me get this far.
all the teachers in kranji were superb teachers, who were special in their very own ways.
Mrs Ram marked my ridiculous L5 Paragraphs and wordy SEQs.. and for TWO subjects,
where it would have been impossible to get As without her help and encouragement. (:

Mr Shasi was a humourous & yet, dutiful class mentor, although i eventually dropped pure chem for sub chem.
Mr Lim taught us and drilled us well in chemistry, as well as philosophical Mr Foo :) sorry for getting a mere B3. :(
Ms Yeo was also dedicated when drilling us for the super tough elect geog paper. She gave piles and piles (and neverending piles) of geog notes & practice papers weeks before the scary 'O's, accompanied by interesting topics while digressing (away? from the boring texts. haiz) And i got my one, thanks! :D
Ms Ratna, for being so kind and endearing, spending extra time out of the timetable to help me grapple the English Language, sharing new vocabulary during lessons as well. (: Thanks coz i did better than i expected ! :D
Ms Sim! for being a wonderful maths teacher! Peifupeifu. (: must handle my terrible e & a maths! and reteaching topics (despite limited time) that i didn't understand before, during night study or during classes. :D (:
Ms Lim (physics) for being an understanding& caring teacher who forgave my wrong doings (during physics class) and gave me honest advice, thanks (:
Ms Lim (chinese) maybe some people didn't think chinese was that important and fun, but thanks coz you aided us all the way (with those ridiculously long days where we had to write write and write more chinese stuff) and marked all my work conscientiously. Thanks (:

and those who taught me in sec one/two, thanks.
for otherwise i'll never have been here in this wonderful class with wonderful teachers (:

THANKS !
(and also to my friends who mugged with me on saturdays - JE Lib, KAP. thanks for helping me go so far.
thanks for being encouraging me when i was down and upset) and lots more people that helped me along the way. :D

2008-01-23T18:38:00.000+08:00

你总是这样说我
像一颗不容易溶化的糖果
带我见你的朋友
又很得意地埋怨我沈默

你追问我的行踪
你在乎我的举动
哄得我泪眼迷蒙
做些事情让我被感动

望著你突然一阵心痛
一次又一次任那感情放纵
你的脆弱让我走不开
你的依赖所以我存在
想著你还是想到心痛
期待我做的将来你都会懂
有一天真如我
有一天
但愿我还在你记忆中
ha...ha........

- 心痛／陈洁仪

我此时此刻的心情就是如此坦克不安，
爱你让我感到如此的心痛。。

但愿我还在你记忆中。

log test, quad equations splash the poor foolscap.
politics=power play.

上学了。
其实也没什么特别。才不过是上一堂又一堂的lecture，一堂又一堂的tutorial。
对了，还有令人深深害怕的体育课—— 在操场上奔跑，一圈又一圈地奔跑。
每天带着疲倦的脸蛋儿，拖着腿上课去。
星期一的空挡特别长，特别多。闷。 :(

还好啦。我身旁有伴随着我的好朋友 (:

很害怕，失措。
那一天，那让我们又期待又不期待的那一天要来临了。。
:(

homework for the week:
1) H1 GP- research on nightlife in sg, arts in sg.
2) H1 GP- research on sg history (quiz!)
3) H1 GP- cut out newspaper cutting on sg events.
4) H1 PW- project presentation 1
5) H2 History- SEA History design game (pre-WW2 1900 onwards)
6) H2 Econs- test on central problem of econs 31 JAN (yj's birthday! :D)

2008-01-13T16:09:00.000+08:00

its crazy.

i dont know why, but i've been thinking a lot about my o level results today.
the bare fact that it's coming out about 2-3 weeks later
& how i'll fare. its a torture.
there's many things making its rounds inside my mind now and i am confused,
bothered & bewildered.

this anticipation of nothing kills me.

2008-01-12T23:34:00.000+08:00

went out with dearest KLARA yesterday :)
got my taiwan mag but no nodame 19 yet :(
met super egoistic zhihui who's in sajc now (lucky chap) who insists he's super handsome & charming (NOTTT. HEHE)
ask me to pay 25 dollars coz i was late for 25 minutes (it wasn't intentional, ok?) =_='''
his voice went super deep & he looked REALLYYYYYY different..
ya, klara & i took pictures 2day @ taka. >.<

2008-01-08T23:52:00.000+08:00

[ currently listening to : Bohemian Rhapsody/Queen ]
[ currently reading: H2 Econs notes ]

mass lectures started this week, and we crashed classes because we had nothing to do, and we could only leave the college at 12.30. most lectures were quite alright, mainly just introductions to different aspects & expectations to/for the subjects. no homework yet EXCEPT H1 Maths where we had to do the law of indices again. and * i forgot how to do * :p
tomorrow's going to be the most hectic day for the week- GP, PW, Econs, CL.. Choir in the afternoon, sectionals somemore.. :(
Choir's quite fun, and somehow it had an uncanny resemblance to Kranji Choir.. er.. nevermind.
We're learning Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Bewitched and *something else*
Janice didn't turn up for choir practice in the end! Haiz. Cheryl and Victor's in choir!!! :DDDDD
JC has been quite fine till now, but it seems that after JAE, everything changes thoroughly. Reality will begin to sink in and we'll start to feel the pressing pressure. But I'm quite certain I'm taking the JC route because I eventually want to end up in university, though I haven't explored the various kinds of faculties & courses yet. But arts in JC can only bring you to arts in Uni, so it's already kind of limited, the choices..

There's economics tomorrow and I bought my first econs lecture notes! :D
Hope I can catch up quickly >.<

TO SENIORS DOING A LEVELS THIS YEAR : IF YOU GET STRESSED UP, LOOSEN UP A LITTLE (IF POSSIBLE) AND THEN CONTINUE MUGGING, CHEER UP AND YOU'LL FEEL BETTER.. JIAYOU, ALL THE WAY.... :D

TO JUNIORS DOING O LEVELS THIS YEAR: O LEVELS IS NOTHING SO SCARY, JUST DO WHATEVER THE TEACHERS PRESCRIBE WELL, KEEP DOING TYS, SURE CAN ONE! JIAYOU! :))))))))

2008-01-06T21:43:00.000+08:00

school starts tomorrow! :)

wonder who's in my class :d
and theres choirrrrrrr 2mr .......... :ddddd

on a first note, MERRY XMAS TO EVERYONE OUT THERE :D
but then, i suddenly realised that i didn't do much this holiday.
it was mainly shopping, being a complete couch-potato, computer-slave & the best: piano practising :)
but to be positive, i'm glad i grabbed several local chinese books, more piano scores, cleared some floor, practised & performed xmas favourites & chopin's polonaise in c sharp minor.
bought mitch albom's books, reading them (currently), watched & loved choir concerts, planning to watch some more concerts, witnessed the awe-inspiring Mt Fuji, tried (to no avail) to learn basic japanese & lastly, donated a xmas gift :DD

but these are still unfulfilled..

1) going out with dearest friends, for movies, books, concerts, food, neoprints..
2) chatting with a great friend sipping coffee & nipping on american cheesecake throughout the day, while listening to the cd shop gently playing soft music in the background, peoplewatching :)
3) visit booksactually :]
4) visiting cd shops, listening to my favourite music, & venturing into new music genres as listening favourites
5) venturing into new music genres as a musical pursuit
6) go flea markets to spot out great buys

(tbc)

2007-12-16T22:03:00.000+08:00

i'm jumping with ecstasy because i finally got my ear pierced yesterday, with evelyn :)

You are Gold Fawn, whose character is gentle and calm. You tend to talk slowly and there's something warm about your atmosphere. Nevertheless, you have great fighting spirit within you, and you have great will power. It's not too much to say that your will power is hidden under your intelligence and your personality. Your movements are slow, and you also tend to be rather slow in putting things into action.You also take other people's opinion too seriously, and are sensitive to rumors. You try to avoid public criticism, by not using flashy expressions and fancy actions. You try to stick to social status, and are pure and conservative sort of person.You dislike new changes, and prefer to carry on steadily in a safe environment. You think high of atmosphere than practicality. If you make your decisions only on your preferences, people may think you as a moody person. You are obsessed about cleanliness, and can be difficult, but you are really a kind person.You have good fortune, and your personal interest may turn into your occupation, or get as busy as your regular business. Therefore your interest develops into something that can be profitable.Although you yourself are modest, people around you may get heated up, and make you a leader. What you have done to others will be returned by double or more. After getting married, you will have good fortune with children, and will be able to lead a steady old age.

she grinned as she gazed in amazement,
the magenta, turning orange sky,
the sun peeking from behind the lumpy hills,
its warm rays sprouting.

he slowly placed his arms around hers.

she turned and witnessed the surprise!
blooming sunflowers sitting right next to her,
facing the sunrise,
a dozen.

she fell into his embrace,
as she found
the one,
who reads her mind..

- inspired by "To Grow With Love" <3

finally completed the series revolving around the theme of true love, mind-reading and fat is beautiful. A delightful cantonese drama series bound to evoke laughs amongst its audience, To Grow With Love injects the idea of being true to love & how sacred marriage is, and how the detestful male lead tricks the kindhearted female lead into fulfilling his unreasonable demands initially. The female lead, after receiving advice from her landlady sis Beautiful, takes sweet revenge after the latter falls into temporary memory loss. Unexpectedly, the duo falls in love. And..

it's a small world (after all)

京都的枫叶，
缓缓地飘落到批着小石头的道路。
红红的，橙色的，黄黄的，
慢慢地飘落。
有些则选择死缠着树根不放，
朝着太阳，渴望得到太阳的拥抱，
所以枫叶交叉成一副美丽的风景画。

人也不曾一样。
我们都是挂在树上的枫叶。
有些人象缓缓落下的枫叶，选择放弃拥有阳光，放弃梦想，
有些人则象死缠着树根不放的枫叶，向梦想迈进。。

东京的景象与京都各然不同。
不是枫叶满地，多的是城市繁忙的脚迹。
一走进银座，高大威猛的建筑物进入眼帘，
幸好到银座的那天是星期天，
所以繁忙的道路没让车辆行走，
好让大批购物狂好好血拼！
虽然买不起那里有名的名牌货，
但那里独特的都市情怀已深深地感染了我！
侥幸能在那儿买到心仪的钢琴谱，
让我大有收获！（：

我也十分庆幸能够目睹富士山的英姿！
富士山若影若无，
要目睹真是一件十分困难的事啊！
偏偏这次能够一起身，就可见富士山的英姿，
有能够看到她在水中与大自然伴舞，
可真是一生难得一见！:D

哈哈，突然想起这首歌。。

乌云在我们心里刻下一块阴影
我聆听沉寂已久的心情
清晰透明就像美丽的风景
总在回忆里才看的清

被伤透的心能不能够继续爱我
我用力牵起没温度的双手
过往温柔已经被时间上锁
只剩挥散不去的难过

缓缓掉落的枫叶像思念
我点燃烛火温暖岁末的秋天
极光掠过天边
北风掠过想你的容颜
我把爱烧成了落叶
却换不回熟悉的那张脸

缓缓掉落的枫叶像思念
为何挽回要赶在冬天来之前
爱你穿越时间
两行来自秋末的眼泪
让爱渗透了地面
我要的只是你在我身边

被伤透的心能不能够继续爱我
我用力牵起没温度的双手
过往温柔已经被时间上锁
只剩挥散不去的难过

在山腰间飘逸的红雨
随著北风凋零我轻轻摇曳风铃
想唤醒被遗弃的爱情
雪花已铺满了地
深怕窗外枫叶已结成冰

finally back from japan! :DDD

bagged savoury jazz scores and a couple of adorable collectibles!
beautiful country, sometimes freezingly chilly.
i've got the opportunity to admire the gorgeous view of mount fuji from my hotel window! :D
and the reflection on the lake makes it perfect!
travelled up mount fuji, experienced the absolute chill of 1 degree celsius burning on my fingers.
authentic japanese food dished out on elaborate plates and bowls presented one by one on my table, both a feast for the eyes & the tummy :D
unfortunately not enough time for shopping :(

can't wait to meet klara & the others! :]

（一）

爱上了 elgar 的 salut d' amour
实在是太优美了。。
小提琴与钢琴，美丽的和奏。
小提琴手的手指在琴玄上跳着，
钢琴手却在背后轻轻地弹奏配合。
一脸深深陶醉的小提琴手，
随着音乐摇摆，
奏出最优美的 salut d'amour。

一首耳熟能详的歌曲，
难有那么令人陶醉，令人感动的演奏。。

（二）

也爱上了que sera,sera
听起来非常肤浅－我是为了帅呆的男主角而开始看的。
故事情节有点乱。
但在两天内，竟然已经看完了十个 episode 了。《待续》

2007-11-14T01:15:00.000+08:00

Firstly, THANK YOU KLARA, RACHEL, AND JULITTA for hitting town with me today!
and especially to DEAREST KLARARA :) for being so patient with me while i was trying to get the dress! :D
THANK YOU because it's gorgeous, THANK YOU because you helped to narrow down my choices, THANK YOU for giving me priceless advice,

THANK YOU all of you! :>

I'M SURE GRAD NIGHT WILL TURN OUT GREAT! :) (hope so..)
and i'm sorry (oops/) that i was a little impatient earlier on.. :(

and i wrote this in english so you can read :]

对不起／／＊

（微笑）的花儿。
（开花）结果。
（果中）含有－爱恨情愁／
（爱）轻轻的微风，夏天的阳光，隔壁的那朵花儿，细雨的滋润／／
（恨）雷阵雨，隔壁的那些花儿／
（情）隔壁那朵花儿－她嫩红的 petals 对我微笑的那种神采，令握心跳加速／
（愁）打雷下雨，采花季节的来临／

迎风而来的细雨，
轻轻地拍打着我的玻璃窗，
拍打着美丽的旋律。
玻璃外的树木轻轻地摇摆，
花儿也沾沾自喜，
窗外的风铃也叮叮铃铃。。
创造了一首扣人心弦的交响曲／

是时间的匆匆离去，
还是我没珍惜，
大考后的日子没有大考前的那么。。
没有强求突破的那股冲劲，
没有那时的惶惶张张，
没有朋友拍拍肩膀的那份真情的鼓励，
日子似乎失去了色彩，
没有节奏了。

时光的确不留人，难的拥有的真挚友情，
将被狠狠的时光一一的剪断／／
让它，似个滚滚的海浪，拍打我向前流。。

－

浓郁的咖啡，热腾腾。
舒服地坐在温暖咖啡厅的我，细腻地品尝。
苦苦的。
然后甜滋滋的感觉慢慢地撒满咖啡厅。
背后传来的爵士钢琴声，
玻璃的另一端下了一场雷阵雨，
雨花撒下来的雨声更为动听。。

COMPLETELY FREE :]
no more o levels!!!!

after years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds of useless preparation and perspiration,
the dreadful o levels is finally over!
i don't really think i'll fare well though, but it has been a good mix of relatively hard and easy questions.
the most disappointing would be history- modern world was easy, but i didnt mug hard enough for malaya :(
ss was (irritatingly) easy, i thought though i lost that darn 7 marks on the compare/contrast. :(
am was easy but gone case.
geog was gone.
...

i'm just thankful that i've finally completed this arduous journey.
now, i just want to have a somnolent afternoon, where i will laze around, watch nodame drama on crunchyroll, read, watch television, go shopping, practising the piano.. and all my favourite activities.. :]
still undecided though.
2mr's goin' to be a great day out! :DDDDDDDD

grrrrrrrrrrrrh.
next challenge: graduation night (coz i'm too uptight)

2007-10-26T19:14:00.000+08:00

You're My Everything
Santa Esmeralda

You're my everything
The sun that shines above you makes the blue bird sing
The stars that twinkle way up
in the sky, tell me I'm in love.

When I kiss your lips
I feel the rolling thunder to my fingertips
And all the while my head is in a spin
Deep within I'm in love.

You're my everything
And nothing really matters
but the love you bring
You're my everything
To see you in the morning
with those big brown eyes.

You're my everything
Forever everyday I need you
close to me
You're my everything
you'll never have to worry
Never fear for I am near.

Oh, my everything
I live upon the land
and see the sky above
I swim within her oceans
sweet and warm
There's no storm, my love.

Chorus
When I hold you tight there's nothing
That can harm you In the lonely night
I'll come to you
And keep you safe and warm
It's so strong, my love.

it's so beautiful, the lyrics and the tune. :)

anyway, o levels was.. erm. quite hard (maybe because i didnt mug hard enough..)
hope i wont get more than 20 for L1R5 :(
history (modern world), add maths, chem, geog down.. :)
4 more subjects to go! JIAYOU.

2007-10-15T22:14:00.000+08:00

three weeks to complete liberation!
dreaded add maths kickstart the momentum, and i ain't going down this time!
must mug hard, mug hard and mugmugmug.
kimberley lusts over la dolce vita after the o levels (much dreaded)
consists of many many many planned activities with the bunch of delightful friends/

and then (hopefully) la bella vita after the o level results are out next year..

till then,
canto alla vita!
not many get to do so~

2007-10-03T22:44:00.000+08:00

i decided to sidetrack from my (supposed mugging) schedule and take a rest at the computer, finally.

the stressful atmosphere in school is making the most of us breathless.
school has never been so... crazy.
mock exam one after one, new piles of prelim papers to do, TYS, FYS, topical, year by year.. it's great as it forces us to do and do and do. What we can do now is to reinforce our concepts and keep practising.. I mean, if i wasn't in school, i wouldn't have done that much ( not a lot actually) of work-- no matter maths, history, geog (heh, no), english (definitely)..
so i actually adore the idea of getting up in the morning and going to school fresh- meeting the teachers definitely will aid the mugging processes. :D

many do not like to conform to such post-prelims schedule. perhaps they feel they can achieve much more at home. it differs. for me, i'll need that extra discipline to achieve.

but even till now, i realise i've got so much to do and yet there's only omg, 18 days left to 'O' levels! for instance, for emaths, i still fall within the C5 range. I used to get B3/B4 s for the subject and I fell. While people move up the grading system, I still seem to stay on square one, or even fall back towards zero. This can be really demoralising.

So more MASSIVE ACTION must be done to achieve ULTIMATE EXCELLENCE.

now to dwell on the fact that 4D'2007 will be split in a mere 2 months/less. It's a sad fact. I thought I really adored this class, always bursting with so much life, enthusiasm and optimism.These 2 years seemed to have passed so fast. Never got to go for 4D's class chalet because I'm overseas during the few days. So grad night is the last time 4D07=4D.

4D, thank you for all the fun times we shared.

2007-09-13T13:40:00.000+08:00

just lazing around
lying on the couch
fingers exercising on the white,
cold,
keyboard
as i type
worlds of fantasy,
love and ecstasy.

- (i)

well, time's swift, while i stay motionless, oblivious to the change
ain't that always so?
brain freezed, head-stretching and mind-gruelling questions pop up on the examination paper.
heads pulled down to the cold, vandalised tables, worn out after years of such treatment.
inks splashed out on exam scripts.
hands raised up, asking for more foolscap to express
marvellous and hair-raising answers.
students donned in the same ensemble of white and green,
sat in straight rows and columns,
getting into the momentum.

but i needn't envision,
i was in it.
the mind-gruelling experience was one of the most intense,
but yet,
i stay
motionless,
oblivious to the change

- prelims207/

haha that was a random flow of words.
inspired after blog skipping and some readings on the net
finally had the time to do so, and i was feeling really lazy just now.
one paper more,
and it's done.
i seriously hope i can get less than 20 points this time,
something like 15 would be ideal.
thank god it's only mcq tomorrow.
gotta read up but it's going to be less mind-gruelling than wednesday's ghastly pair up of history(pure) and EM paper 2.

read up on some service learning blogs done by people somewhere else in the small tiny island of singapore,
got to really say thumbs up >.<
when my class got to do some service learning project, it didn't seem as if i was in it.
we didn't manage to visit the daycare centre (erm..ya)
and we did not really do a thorough analysis and some blog/website etc.
it was a slipshot (how do you spell it!) effort on our side. (especially me..)
comparatively, people in other schools take the effort more seriously.
evident in the writeups and photographs (as evidence..heheh) given on the various blogs i've visited.
what's more? it's even of a smaller group than ours (<20)

it would have been so much more meaningful if we had done a thorough and full service-learning project.
i would have to admit it will be very much hard work and dedication to be poured in for the project,
but it would aid us, youths, to grow as not only an academically-intellectual person, but also a charitable soul.
isn't that what everyone should be like?

i have plans to volunteer in the near future.
but first i can do my part to charity by participating in regular flagdays.
most people dislike to sell flags but i particularly like doing so.
it's great to be able to reach out and do something meaningful to society..
i was only able to sell flags due to school associations,
but i would like to do so as an enthusiastic individual in the near future.

2007-09-04T20:11:00.000+08:00

time really flies, a wink of an eye and four years just swipe past.
it's great to relive the good old days with a great bunch of primary six classmates. we went back to peihwa last friday-- me, pearlyn, liwen, michelle, dorothy, david, yungyen, wanting, april (did i leave anyone out)
mrs lee went off for lunch so we didnt get to meet her. pearlyn and I managed to meet zhenglaoshi though :D we had quite a long chat over future endeavors and subject combinations. as well as p5 english teacher mrs lee as well (:
liwen grew so tall, towering over me.
yungyen also, who knew that puny guy who did not hand in him homework regularly, grew very much taller (than i expected :p) and he's a scout , a witty and chatty one.
david is still as quiet as before, but i guess he's very much a science whiz.
michelle,april,dorothy and wanting still looked very much prettyyyy :)

after peihwa, we strolled to KAP :) too bad liwen had to leave for movie appointments -
the bunch still continued to chat >.< then kenneth came (HAHA!)
and went back with 10 gorgeously polished fingernails in an array of pink,blue,red and black. [+seventeenmagazine]

KAP today with mq and klara [wasquiteproductiveLAH]

2007-08-22T23:13:00.000+08:00

i've got one L5 correct today :D
-haha

2007-08-11T19:27:00.000+08:00

caught secret at lido last evening (finally..)
it was quite..good i must say, but the first part was rather cheesy.. :)
can somebody else catch the movie and tell me the ending because i'm still quite confused :} ..

2007-08-09T16:02:00.000+08:00

happy national day :)

yesterday was rad/emo
this year's ndp in school was surprisingly wonderfully planned, was it or was it us who were getting a little emo since this is the last year right here in this (wonderful) school? the whole seven of us, accompanied by chinming,evelyn(?),amirah, julitta's np friends, cheryl, aishah and some others i dont really recall were rad! we stood in the middle of the crowded singapore map(its just the parade square la) and were hopping mad and indulging in the familiar national song tunes (we were shouting) i dont know but HAHA. erm, it was fun~

wanted to watch secret ytd but it was sold out at plaza singapura AND cathay (grrrrrrrrrh.cool down) guess we are watching this or next week perhaps. >.<

you crushed me into bits and pieces, with your words of disregard

2007-08-05T22:59:00.000+08:00

horrendous results splashed the report card
with an unexpected E8 for combined humanities, which i was confident of clinching at least a failure grade of B4.
i'm done with.

three gruelling weeks to the next japanese-occupation-like mind-drilling prelim 2 where i would have to secure a single-digit L1R5 to grin my way into ACJC next January. So impossible. (stop repeating the adidas slogan in my ear)

I'll have to pull up my measely English grade to at least a B4/B3
then Chinese must get A1 (nothing else), Science must get A2/B3, EM must die die get A1, AM get B4, History get A2, Combined Humanities get A1/A2 (ya, something like that) :((((((

!!!!!!!!!!!

friday was darn hectic --- piano lesson, home, parents meeting, lot 1, home. (after 8, missed yusheng's kidnap :( )
saturday too, -- Compre workshop in the morning, pjc open house, RUSHED back home to bath, late for english tuition, bus trip with ruoshan, then went toh yi to curb my sudden craving for oyster omelette, went home (then i slacked off.)

grrrrhrrrrrrh.

when the blazing sunlight shoots you in the eye, it could still be that same gleam of sunlight which gently filters through the trees planted on the side curbs of the busy Singaporean roads. so soft and warm it caresses the ipomea gently waking up to a new day as it slowly opens its petals in shades of lilac and cream, down there right next to the busstop you first met your first love. Merciless sunlight beats on your back on your tan down at the beach where your feet sinks into the golden sands and your fingers trinkles the emerald waters, gleaming with small continous waves in the sunlight. you pick up a beautiful seashell gorgeously shaped, as if it was heaven's little present, and you lift it up against the sunlight. Rainbow colours splashed on that little present your hand's grasping, your mouth agape at the mesmerizing creation.

2007-07-20T19:39:00.000+08:00

its been decades
years, months, weeks,
days, minutes, seconds,
i'm still breathing you.

(haha,that was random)

post prelim activities : crazy gossip in the library,
sleeping in class, faza's lame jokes, atiqah's bangbang lame game,
me not getting jokes, being logical :) quality time with dearest clique,
stuck in the hall for assembly bound by a tight tie on the neck,
getting my coins stuck in the darn vending machine.

当我和世界不一样那就让我不一样
坚持对我来说就是以刚克刚
我如果对自己妥协如果对自己说谎
即使别人不原谅我也不能原谅
最美的愿望一定最疯狂
我就是我自己的神在我活的地方
我和我最后的倔强握紧双手绝对不放
下一站是不是天堂就算失望不能绝望
我和我骄傲的倔强我在风中大声的唱
这一次为自己疯狂就这一次我和我的倔强

对爱我的人别紧张我的固执很善良
我的手越肮脏眼神越是发光
你不在乎我的过往看到了我的翅膀
你说被火烧过才能出现凤凰
逆风的方向更适合飞翔
我不怕千万人阻挡只怕自己投降
我和我最后的倔强握紧双手绝对不放
下一站是不是天堂就算失望不能绝望
我和我骄傲的倔强我在风中大声的唱
这一次为自己疯狂就这一次我和我的倔强
就这一次让我大声唱
lalalala...
就算失望不能绝望...
lalalalala...
就这一次我和我的倔强

- 五月天 <<倔强>>

its a long time since i've listened and really paid attention to the lyrics,
the inspiring lyrics of being persistent and not giving up after tasting the bitterness of failure.
i think this is what everyone should work towards, as a personal goal.
then everyone's lives would be more colourful and fruitful. :)
and i loved the infectious melody as well =)

2007-07-19T20:21:00.000+08:00

I've got my HANON-VIRTUOSO PIANIST exercises book to train up my fingers today :D

i'm really looking forward to saturday, when i'm going to the esplanade library for some great piano jazz standards, i can already imagine me savouring every note with so much tone colour and diversity in improvisation styles, as well as getting Mozart's SONATA FOR TWO PIANOS (although i could not get anyone to play with me) and perhaps some conducting scores after being influenced by Chiaki's love and skill in conducting in Nodame Cantabile :D for analysis. <3

i'm not sure if i'm getting my tick to ACJC'S MEP concert this saturday at esplanade, certainly hope so because i missed last year's concert. :( and i'm going for the SYF Choral Presentation at VCH tuesday night with evelyn :) it's really fun going out with her although her pricky sarcasm always seem to work so well when she's speaking to me. HAHA but i don't mind though, she's such great company! 41%

theres some great clothes on the net on online shopping sprees~
its not expensive and the stuff look better than those in singapore's shopping scene, not sure about the quality though, and the sizes are the most worrying... :(

2007-07-19T20:11:00.000+08:00

i scratched my head frantically,
i screamed in fits of utmost agony,
i pressed the darn calculator,
i wrote till my fingers rot.

and thank god, the days of agony are finally gone..
only to remember that the consequences of the mere products of mere procastination and reluctance to mug, ..
... is tomorrow.

and i screwed up history sbq today HAHA. :(
darn chapter twelve. :((((((

2007-07-13T21:57:00.000+08:00

second day of prelim one and i'm confirmed to be dead, judging with the stupid answers i give.
i can already imagine LIR5=30, smacked right down on my report card with several red marks.
the papers were actually quite easy to tackle.. if had i only hit the books much earlier, and memorize,memorize and memorize, that is. Unfortunately, this dumb person over here did not and was a great patron of procastination, foolishly wasting her time on youtube, videos, tv and all of whatever. :<<

theres still chemistry, and omg HISTORY (diediedie) and its two papers mind you. :(
Many concerts on the esplanade diary caught my eye, and i hope to get an excuse to get to the esplanade library and savour beautiful and delectable interpretations of piano jazz standards.. :D this girl is currently a big fan of Art Tatum and Dave Brubeck :)

2007-07-04T19:18:00.000+08:00

false hopes
you hung me up there.

days not even weeks to prelim one.
still couldnt get my head down to mug.
the jazzy tunes stuck in my head as my fingers drum the table.

lovin piano jazz masters recently
-dave brubeck
-art tatum

smoke gets in your eyes.. <3
when i fall in love <3

and shakespeare's 18th sonnet is of beautiful language,
the language of love..

2007-06-19T21:38:00.001+08:00

just really random here.

she sweeps her long and outstretched fingers onto the ebony and white keys, as she sensitively swayed her body to Chopin's Nocturne Op.27 N.o 2, her eyes focussed on the keys, but her mind wondered off to infinite oblivion. Her fingers danced to the sorrowful melody as she captivated the audience with her mere musicality and great interpretation never attempted. The rounds and rounds of loud applause resonated the concert hall, as she stood up from her seat and bowed to the audience, her face grinning. :D

2007-06-17T21:19:00.000+08:00

have been very guilty of not mugging this june hols
but one great thing is that i've throughly packed my whole bedroom :D
got lotsa floor now hehe.
well, everyday just passes that quickly when you watch one rented movie and another, hands full of tv snacks and you sat back and lie on the couch, savouring every minute of the movies. and time flies..
spent lotsa time window-shopping on the busy streets of Orchard, while i drool at the gorgeous dresses and tops which I can't possibly wear in the near future with pricey tags as well as unsuitable sizes (i dont really fit in most clothes)
i still havent touched on any of my holiday hw because i dont even know what they are. WHATTHE. ...
and i'm so freaking tired to look through my torn and tattered textbooks, it's just a very exhausting activity although i would very much need to. haiz...

i've been mesmerized by Adrian Brody's character and talent in "The Pianist", one of the great movies we've rented this holidays.
With his long fingers flat over the ebony and white keys, he paints beautiful and yet sorrowful images of the terror of the WW2, where the German soldiers terrorize the Poland jewish population with so much humiliation, blood. With convincing and enticing interpretations of Chopin's Nocturne in C# Minor as well as Ballade in G minor, it touches and moves the audience to tears. I've also been hooked to Chopin's Nocturne Op 27 N.o 2, a grade 7/8 piece that I (think) I can attempt fairly well.
Chopin's music is just plain beautiful.

Just completed Reese Witherspoon's "Just Like Heaven", a lovely and touching romantic storyline that moves me with their fated love, and not the normal cheesy and M18/R21 material for a "romance comedy". Jessica Simpson's "Employee Of The Month" is seriously a funny movie that lightened up my night (i was watching it at 1am?) <333

2007-06-04T22:35:00.000+08:00

decided to reply tags today :D

HOPEMI: haha so sad i didnt get to go. where did you get your ticks!!

different people have different perceptions and opinions about things.
but hope you had a great time! anw the acjc choir concert simply rocks :D

LITING: haha, thank you~

JULITTA: haha hello~

KLARA: hey it was you la (i am VERY SURE) :p

and we are going to watch shrek 3 tomorrow with julitta and co. :D
delighted.

i'm seriously not a mugger!

and you know what..
the last time i went to kino to get my nodame comics they didnt have book 10, had 11
but when i needed book 11 preceding my book 10 i bought yesterday, it was out of stock!!!
grrrrrrrhh.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and nodame is seriously nice la, too bad the drama/anime only had the story until book 9..
>.<

i believe there's a nodame in each of us.
that certain hidden talent that out spills when discovered,
that happy-go-lucky childish innocence nature within,
the laziness (very evident)
the persistence to work hard whenever a promising and attractive goal is ahead?

life is just that....
simple.
why do we need to think otherwise and make ourselves that stressed up and tired of life.
just being content is enough, is it necessary to do everything to perfectness?

if only that could be applicable to doing exams (haiz.)

2007-06-02T14:20:00.000+08:00

gah. backfromtheverylast syf fiesta yesterday.
it was quite okay but i didnt like the acoustics :(
(plus i didnt sing that well either, i wasnt exactly focussed..:p)
but the satisfaction one sees from a nearly-full auditorium, with cheers from friends and the thought that people you know, is invaluable.
even though rehersals and hours singing and up awake on your feet can be very tiring, but all these guranteed a great performance put up, with loud rounds of applause and all that, it's well worth it.
Nothing beats a great performance..

the acjc choir concert was awesome, plain awesome.
high full notes resonate in the acoustic-perfect hall,
satisfying and beautiful harmonies accompanied with a great blend.
it's like sipping a cuppa coffee where you stir and stir and you blend the condensed milk into the dark liquid.
the boys were really great singers i thought, with booming basses and tenors who were able to sing musically in string after string of enticing music, keeping the audiences mesmerized and very much awake.
the concert was properly designed with appropriate movements,
the sopranos sang with a great satisfying shrill, and the dissonances as well as the resolutions were appropriately expressed.

it inspired me quite a lot.

it has been rather busy and hectic recently, with the day-long intensive chinese sessions everyday since last wednesday, where we attempt one mock paper after another, and analyse the answers after that. I dozed off once and my teacher had to knock on my table to wake me up when I was writing a composition, which I totally could not get my head down to think. They have even started the 9-5 regime, it's almost like we're working adults in Shenton Way offices..

I am VERY VERY disappointed with my results.
I could just kick myself into polytechnics (not that it isn't good, of course)and just give up my desire to get into a relatively good JC. And speaking of that, I'm stuck in between my choices for DSA.
It's not like I'm some really fantastic and extraordinarily talented musician or chorister, and I don't have any great academic records either. And then I'm worried if I do better for O Levels, and I have already confirmed a place in some JC not as great (possibility for this situation is very very low though)

and we've been some crazy animals in school anyway.
with long-er and his mum stomping all around the school, leaving cracks and tearlines in the school compound and monkey slowly eating her bananas. >.<

i'm so going to screw up tomorrow's emaths paper two
because i seriously cant get my head down to mug.
something must be wrong with me.
and i still cant do circle properties, for goodness sake.
byebye A1, hi C6.

but it has been a great time this weekend, slacking on the bed, blasting song after song of wonder, while the curtains are closed, and i lie in the comfort with the breeze from the 23'C aircon. well, i tried to do a couple of maths problems, but just gave up after a few little tiny parts of the heavy-weight questions. oh well.

and i still have science practical exam on tuesday, which i'm seriously going to screw up (yet again) and its not my lack of self-confidence, in this case. (+phy+CL LC,+ rewrite the 50 mark essay to regain that loss of self-confidence,,,)

anw, thankyou HOPEMI (: haha, thank you for the well wishes! i will jiayou (after this pause of prelim 1) and i love you too :D
and LIWEN, haha, :D thanks~ jiayou for your prelims too >.<
and JIAYING, thank you! <3
and MEIQIAO, thank you too! :DDD
and RENEE, i miss you too, and i will jiayou one (i wont disappoint you), you always have been a great singer and keep up the good work!
and JIEXIN, haha, love you too, you also must jiayou for the choir! :)
and YUJIE, erm. i agree, thats a good TAGline :p
...

i'm so hooked on nodame cantabile. :DD
and i saw this 3 book comic that i'm kinda tempted to get. perhaps 2mr

LOVE@sweetsixteen
the first bloom of a flower they say,
as the rosy cheeks of a petal softly fall to the ground,
into the embrace of the warm arms
of the hard tarred sidewalks,
with potholes and scalding hot from the sun's scorching rays,
but the ignorant petal still softly lay,
as the ground unconsciously caress the soft petal with its scalding fingers,

is this love.

- kimberley
in her bout of randomness, and this is purely fiction.

:D OFFICIALLY SLACKING FROM EM :<
haiya dont know why i couldnt get my head down to mug these days
and i heard the EM paper is going to be EXTREMELY difficult, making me even more worried. It's only 2 days to that fateful paper.
and what's more, after prelim 1, we are having 2 weeks of intensive Chinese with mock papers, analysis, and workshops, EVERYDAY 0745- 1500/1700? :((((((

beautiful strings of melodies
strung into lines and well-slurred phrases
evoking surprising tone colours
enticing already mesmerized audiences once again
the roaring applause that reasonate seconds after seconds
proves.

as he gracefully place his fingers on the ivory keys,
he awaits impatiently for the flustered female on the other Steinway baby grand,
"Sonata for 2 Pianos, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, by Chiaki .. and Nodame..."
to unleash his prowess at the instrument, yet again..

- inspired by Nodame Cantabile <3

i'm freakishly hooked on Nodame Cantabile after sighting the attractive cover at Kinokuniya few weeks ago. I'm currently reading the 5th book of the series. what a time to get hooked huh.

2007-04-28T21:54:00.000+08:00

:D

English Prelim 1 - down! :)
comprehension passages was about racism in soccer.
all the headbutt and the Zidane, Henry stuff <3333
you know how much i love the france team at world cup last year.. :]
Last morning was my first time I ever worried for English. I didn't use to care, I have always thought that it was just another subject that I do not need to study (for it being language) although I barely scrape a pass sometimes..
After the exam, I thought I was rather stupid to have done the 3rd compo question. I came out with this really lame plot and I bet the marker is going to laugh his/her heart out after reading my story and give it a 14.
The feature article is officially a killer//

Julitta, Klara, Rachel and me were at KAP the whole day today.. :D
mugging emaths and for the other three, lit
I was there 9.30 to 5.30 (sounds like office hours..)
Julitta sent me this shakespearsy sms to tell me that they will be late, got me entertained for quite a moment..
it was quite productive but we kept laughing at rachel :DDDD
and took pictures,
klara taught me prob :D
and we kept eating eating eating
i bet i'm gaining some weight this weekend HAIZ././.

chinese prelim 1

SYF's over and now I have to concentrate on my studies! :)

We clinched a silver but I never regretted being part of this wacky and spirited Kranji Choir. We progressed a lot and I think I've progressed a lot too, I think I'm mentally stronger and I'm really confident when I sing. I also managed to see how I am, how much of a perfectionist I am and I've learnt to sight sing, sight read and sing better. I've grown stronger mentally while handling the stress of SYF and my horrible terrible and vegetable studies. I've known more people through choir, gained more valuable experiences that I would never have gotten if I didn't join the school choir. I've learnt how to be a better person, and how to manage my many responsibilities being a Soprano SL. It's not only about singing well, but also able to teach the Sopranos well (which I don't think I have done so)

I broke down after the results were announced and I thank the people who tried to cheer me up :) and Tenor's Pants are falling down (London Bridge is falling down!) and the process has been great. Thank you all the peeps in Kranji Choir :DDDDDDD

And I'm really glad I managed to grab a pass for my grade 8 piano practicals. It's a far cry from Eric's Grade8 Distinction but I'm really glad I grabbed a pass because that wasn't what I expected (I thought I was going to fail) And grade 8 was comparatively much much tougher than the grade 5 I took (duh) but I managed to scrape through which was a miracle by itself. :DD

2007-04-07T00:52:00.000+08:00

I was just thinking about how fairytales can be so infectious, and somehow stuck in everyone's head, and can they ever come true in modern days' complicated society? after being inspired by tonight's "The Cinderella Story" on channel 5 as a holiday movie. I remembered (faintly) that my friend in sec 1 asked me whether I would accompany her to the movie and I said 'no' in disbelief of the cliche storyboard, evident in the title, spelling the obvious, duh.

And after 3 years of disbelief in the existance of such impossible storyboards, tears actually hung inside my eyes when I watched that scene where the prince charming and cinderella's eyes met and that scene where the two's internet relay chat emails were exposed to the school body. It shows the modern day Cinderella story, plus the ugly stepmother and stepsisters of course, + popular cheerleaders, and the perfect.

but it's the simplicity and the kind-hearted inside that moved the prince, not the good looks. (but i doubt so for the prince)

these movies were born for an audience longing for a fairytale ending for their endeavours, but is it really going to happen in this modern-world setting? ( plus the people were those of the gorgeous bunch, not the normal-looking peeps )

that aside, I've been wasting much of my Good Friday holiday lazying around the house, completing a mere chinese formal letter. I'm still working on my English feature article which is going nowhere. I have been actively trying my best to improve my English which still can't get out of the 19/20 range and that ain't getting me my As for O Levels. My vocab is STILL that limited, sigh. There's this one whole list of darn homework and stuff I'll need to do this weekend.

- English Feature Article (Chiang Mai)
- EM Loci WS
- EM Loci FYS
- AM Vectors FYS
- AM Vectors 23.4
- EM Vectors FYS (haiz)
- SS O level SBQ 02
- Chem CT- 17,22,23..?
- Physics TYS
- History questions in previous history test.
- Ear-training for sops
- Phrasings for sops
- Not flaring up/breaking down this week.
- Practising new pieces!:D
- Being happy/elated/ecstatic/delirious/delighted/cheery/gleeful? :D
- JIAYOUFORSYF!

stop eluding me in your stupid disguise I fell for

2007-03-31T10:52:00.000+08:00

these few days, :(
suddenly, my mind went into a state of pandemonium. crazy voices in within start to roar and pounce, everything was in a mess. i was breathless, i sat down, try to calm myself down but it was not fruitful. they yelled, they screamed, they protested, strikes and riots in within, but only a few scalding teardrops fell.

intensive choir practices this week- tues,wed,thurs,fri!
and I'm officially excused from after-school IP Coachings (total yayness)
Good things: Great improvements
Bad things: unable to sustain the improvements and cannot move on to a higher level (which means we are not at gold std yet)
but I do think it's possible so JIAYOU/.

Theres lots of homework,lots of woes,lots of choirpractices,but no lots of time,or I succumbed to procastination.:p

and i met charlotte on my way back to my grandpa's house yesterday. she's also a soprano in dunearn choir and we stood by and started chatting about syf! and everyone sang, and the dates.. haha, i've met her like a several times last year, including that bus ride to sajc concert, where i posed stupid questions and haha, she stood and I sat, alongside with weien and the other choir peeps. and syf opening dance thing. haha.

and i freakishly screwed up chinese PRELIMS oral.
the teacher commented that my reading was quite good but i was stunned and rendered speechless for the next few minutes after he posed the conversation question- "te shu cai neng"- special talents/abilities and i tried to speak but my mind was blank. so there was this stinging silence between the both of us.:( i'm probably going to pass it on the dot (and if that happens, i'll be really happy)

and i was found dozing off in classes :(
too tired. despite sleeping at 11 at night (which is consideredVERY early)

wake up kimberley
to the harsh truth, to the harsh reality.

2007-03-14T23:24:00.001+08:00

i finally have some time to blog this week.
this week was total craziness, having to actually mug and cram hard for piano practicals G8 this friday, practising for 2-3 hours everyday (haha, not really la) and IP coaching sessions, total slack, and intensive choir practices and vocal trgs. Still have lots to do with the new Sec 1s :) Great bunch, most of them are musically-trained, easier to learn the songs for them. :)

I was rendered speechless by the wonderful literature Singapore writers write. I've been reading recently, I don't know why. I finished Catherine Lim's "The Bondmaid", and is currently reading "A Fistful of Colours"..
Great language, and the local context makes it even better. Thumbs up! (:
I'm one who really appreciates local literature, no matter english or in my mother tongue. (insert: Evelyn protests here)

:) lit class people got their BEAUTIFUL lit shirt and i loved the lime green colour

2007-03-02T19:35:00.000+08:00

:)

generally feeling HAPPY (: because choir practice was great today! (i think) JIAYOU MUST GET GOLD!

Thank God, the auditions are over, but i don't think we did good. Anyway, it has been a fun experience, from the practicing at Rachel's home, the 2 beautiful banners Rachel, Julitta and Meiqiao did for 4D (which got lost in the school toilet?) and Meiqiao/Me, for our Zhuan Shi Tian Shi audition song. Anyway thanks 4D and those who came to support us!:]
The piano auditions came to a draw between me and the talented Peijun (that's what I REALLY think)

Fingers swept through the keyboard, skilfully.

how great is that.

2007-02-22T22:47:00.000+08:00

On a sad note, (dearest) Klara was not feeling well today, with frequent occurances of vomiting and stomachaches, I bet she was the most frequent visitor to the Sec 4 toilet today (if they do keep statistics). We wrote little notes and placed into our envelopes to cheer each other up! (like always) And I only had a mere pass of 2 marks for my SS SEQ test, which was rather disappointing to consider that the very 2 parts which I mugged hard for (most) came out.

On the other hand, we had frisbee for PE today (yay! no 2.4) and it was rather enjoyable I must say (4D rocks!) and CE was okay today, although we had to do the personality profiling thing for at least the 4th time (it seems that they do it every year) since I got in as a Sec 1. We were given this study timetable where we had to fill in EVERYTHING that we PLANNED TO DO, ALL THE WAY TO END MAY. Whoa. I do hope I could adhere to the events planned. And I'm really tempted to go for some of these Lit Nites/Letters and Spaces talks in NUS Arts Festival.
And I think I want to go book-shopping in BooksActually, tucked away in a shophouse in Telok Ayer. These talks discuss and discover new local literary talents, especially in the field of Singaporean (english) Literature, which I'm currently very interested in.

Only reached home 7.40, missed most of Hana Kimi (Ah Chin, Klara, Szehim, Evelyn...all hooked) HAIZ.

Yay! Looking forward to the weekend yo.

2007-02-16T23:00:00.000+08:00

Today, 4d totally rock! :)

CNY Celebrations in school and most of the 4d rockers wore the rocker black class jersey and we were 1st for class decoration competition, 2nd for costume design competition and was the most enthusiastic class in the hall despite fatigue after hard work while decorating the class, raving hysterically to the (melodious) chinese new year songs, trying our best to hype up the sian sian atmosphere in the hall. I admit, I'm one of the crazy people. Today was definitely one of the best days we had class spirit so strong and overbearing and I hope that this can continue :)

After we went back to class after the concert, Ms Tang and Mr Shasi came and took videos of the ever lively bunch of 4D Rockers :) singing their signature songs on the jukebox : YOU'RE MY SUNSHINE, GUANTARAMERA (EXTRACT OF), TELETUBBIES THEME SONG, + new addage: CAI SHEN DAO (lol) as we sang and clapped (crapped) and danced to the beat. I actually can't believe it was the very same 3d last year. And today totally rock! ~

I guess 4D will be one of the most united classes in Kranji History :)

like Humility 6'03 of phpps (that I was in)

Now, we must stay united and mug hard for 'O's, no more slacking and snacking, crapping (...) during classes! :]

Beautiful, isn't it.

Strong bonds (ionic bonds), not covalent bonds.

Hype us up, but we'll never melt down to your feet.

2007-02-14T18:12:00.000+08:00

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE :)

for singles its more like a day to celebrate friendship

it was really sweet today! although there was nothing under the table but JANINE (emperor!) surprised me with her super sweet note she wrote for me (and everyone else) which had my name on it and we used it as a nametag and paraded in the canteen, showing it off during recess. SOENG MAY, KLARA, ALAN, MS TANG, MS SIM, YEEGIN got me sweets and delightful chocolate I drowned myself in. and GABRIELLE's sweet little colourpencil placed on my table, and MRS RAM's present of a history test (haiz). And I decided to drop to sub-science, after Miss Lim's persuasion, and the discouraging percentage distinctions for pure sciences. Vocal training after IP Coaching, at least it went well :)

Not much,
just another regular day.
Maths test tomorrow (sigh)
and I freaking lost my green file.

2007-02-12T17:39:00.000+08:00

gotta study for chem, history test so this will be short.

this morning i woke up with this really weird dream, and i think it's kinda bad so i hope it won't come true.
gah, morning sectionals was cancelled because we had no keyboard and actually we can do W/O it.
haha recess pang-sehing was fun, though it didn't go well because MDM YONG SHUWEN did not hear us calling her, despite us blaring and shouting our throats out. hmph.
then there was this whole thing about weiting joining kranji idol HAHA. :)
go support her eh!
I'm considering joining the instrumental/group one (CONSIDERING)
should be fun and last year in this school, should try. :)

and dearest KLARA never come to school today (haiz, so quiet)

2007-02-09T22:13:00.000+08:00

O Level results are out today! :)
Choir seniors rock the honour roll-
Haha, choir people are clever heh and there was this threat we made to our choir president, :)
because the previous 2 choir presidents were on the honour list, so what can we expect? Hmm.
But I would also want to mug hard this year so I can get on the honour list, imagine the teachers announcing your name, and introducing you on the powerpoint slides.
I would want to get less than 10 points, so I can get into a jc which actually offers H2 Music! :]
VJ, RJ, ACJC, TJ... (all need REALLY GOOD GRADES)
seems that I'll need to work REALLY HARD because I've got a PATHETIC 23 POINTS FOR L1R5 last year. Haiz.

We didn't really have choir practice today, another day spent on voice check/test.
Thank god I passed the test/check! :)
And now I have to jajajajaja (x infinite) for my dearest sops! :]
But it doesn't seem to work and I guess I'm not dominating enough.
And it's really physically and mentally draining, after waking up at 5.10am to do chemistry questions for today's class test only to find out it was a open-book test. (darn!)
I keep dozing off in class (especially after recess), gah. Look at my notes, you'll probably get to that.
Compulsory sectionals? Before school? After school? During choir practices? After choir practices? Need must tell me ok!

IMPT : 1 FULL SOP SECTIONAL
- check jajaja part.

And I got really emotional and everything.
Sister troubles heh ( but it was only 10 minutes)
I guess Lot One actually heals-

anyway, 4D rocks :)
Miss Sim's back and we crazily loved to sing "You're My Sunshine" and Cheehow would just go on continuing singing and clapping to the beat of guantaramera (gah, i don't know how to spell)
so 4D will and must jiayou for great results ya! :]

2007-02-02T23:17:00.000+08:00

suddenly it just flows back,
those fond memories i tried to throw away.
don't know why

now it seems unforgettable.
