i just finished reading 'a walk to remember'.. i can't believe i didn't read it earlier.. .it's really, really sad, and touching.. and suddenly i'm reminded of the show again. at the part after she told him abt the leukemia, the tears juz rolled down.. juz as it did during the movies. i think the book's better, but if you think of the show and link it together as u read the book.. it's just beautiful.. it's probably the most touching book i've ever read. i'm gonna look out for nicholas sparks' bks from now on.

went to borders! and taka.. to eat tacopachi, as wuhui insisted.. haha. got the 'all-round excellence' award today.. my parents gave me a nice trendy watch cos of it, quite ex, with leather and all.. i'll wear it starting tmr. actually my dad wanted to buy casio, the digital kind. or baby-G. my mum laughed at him the whole night.. saying he's so outdated and tt kind of thing.. haha. it's been a slackish school day, with absolutely no lessons, only assembly item by 4J, then the prize presentation, then spring cleaning, then eng mock exam. nice and relaxing way to end the official sch term.

09:20 p.m.

btw, the first entry of today, the 4pm something one, was made by WUHUI.. not me.. i'm not so... liddat lor. hahahaha. ... she's calling herself a pig! i gave my password to her for her to write, and i can write anything in her blog if i want to.. hehehehehe, and she doesn't have her own password *evil grinz*.

our class will be in the old ava room until wed, then 2U taking our classrm during their mid-yr.. the old ava's quite far away from the rest of the classes, but since it's enclosed, we can make a lot of noise, and the teachers all came late today.. haha. cos i think most of them forgot the new venue, including me...! i went to the old class first, then saw all the sec2 pple there.. then had to walk all the way to the other side.. then the door wasn't open until 7.30 liddat; the uncle came abt 3 times cos he couldn't find the correct key.. then we're all standing outside.. waiting..

maths test was quite bad.. i didn't noe how to do the last question, worth 8 marks.. and it's the kind where all the questions link together, so 8 marks gone liao. haiz. din go for mep today, going tmr.. came home and slept; I MUST study AT LEAST 3/5 of SS tonight, otherwise tmr no time liao, then muz sleep late again.

oh, i think a suitable boy's really nice! though extremely long.. so all the political and boring parts i skipped.. but the rest of the book's very witty and funny.. there's this part i know i laughed a lot.. where this girl got a poem from this male friend of hers, and one line was 'i whispered and sighed all night,'.. usually that's in a romantic context right? but then there were pineapples drawn at the bottom of the page, so the girl's mother said, 'oh.. that's why there were whispers and sighs all night...' get it?? she thought he got indigestion from eating spoilt pineapples or smthg.. haha. but i returned the book liao, so i can't say the original thing.. i can't remember the exact line to quote, but that's the main gist of it.

08:07 p.m.

forgot to write.. today's church service was soo good!!! at least, to me la. pastor prince went for holiday, so pastor joshua came over.. it was mainly illustrating and emphasizing how we're saved and everything.. with lots of illustrations from the bible.. he esp liked the story abt ruth 'the greatest love story'he says.. and they're song selection today was really gd too.. but too bad i didn't know a lot of the new songs.. those jump-ard, hip-hop, funky, happy type.. and at the end this guy came up to do this performance, he acted like elvis presley.. hahaha, very funny, and his voice is also very gd too!!! adeline's also.. gets better and better each week..

i'm watching that particular concert part of center stage now...

07:28 p.m.

Sunday, June 1, 2003
i haven't updated in a while, cos of tests, mock exams, and a nasty bout of flu.. had this sore throat and runny nose.. i used i think 7 pieces of tissue during the chinese paper1 exam! haha. it's much better now.. yesterday night went to eat in this jap restaurant near east coast park, called sento. the most unique part of that restaurant wasn't the food, but the seating.. the floor's sunken underneath for u to put ur legs in, so in normal circumstances when u seem to be sitting on the floor, actually your legs are underneath the table in the normal sitting position! haha. i dun think i explained it very well here, but nvm.

got results.. L1R5 is 10, quite happy.. but my mom still wants a single digit no. oh well, nxt time i work harder la.. and if i study harder and not in front of the comp, it'll prob improve :)oh ya, my mum went to the parent-teacher's meeting, then she saw yiru there.. turns out yiru's my jmc classmate, and we both din noe!! haha. she said yiru's looks nv change.. that's why she recognise her..

watched center stage.. so nice!!!!!!!! ahh.. it's abt ballet and dancing, muz go see again.. esp like the ending concert part, where they dance to the michael jackson songs.. veri funky and catchy.. now i kinda see why michael jackson's so popular.. haha. i like that charlie and jody.. she can dance soo well, and i din realise how painful it is to wear those ballet shoes with the wood in it... they practice until got blood and blisters on their feet..

06:36 p.m.

Sunday, May 25, 2003
abt the band camp com.. realised tt we overlooked a part of it.. which is showing the rest of the sec4 band com b4 telling the sec3s, and we din even really get qy's real advice, onli bits and pieces tt she tells us on normal days. tt's bad, to me anw. it's prob a small matter, but it does say a lot.. tt we haven't included the com in a lot of things.. then what's the com for? not juz for packing library scores, or taking reeds etc.. right?

also, in case any band pple are reading diz, we deliberately didn't pick those sec3s who are already in the band committee, cos we can already see what they can do there, but we can't see what the rest of the squad can do. tt's the main reason. and those comm memebers who did get it, it's cos in their normal posts, they don't need to do much, so there's nothing for us to see and know their potential and stuff. ya. cos i noe some sec3s are disappointed that they didn't get in.. but they can always help right? this isn't a time for them to show who's best, but for them to show us how united they are, and whether they can actuallly work as a team. without a team, u're bust. i rmb last june camp, we really had lots of communication probs within the diff sections of the camp com, then got scolded a lot of times when things didn't run smoothly... yup. oh ya, muz rmb to tell them tt the grp leaders prob need to noe most things abt how the camp's gonna run, so the comm muz actually tell them b4hand. hope they actually help those in the comm if they can... (ahh.. i think i'm preaching to my own blog! haha.) anw, this yr's badge so far, it's a bit hard to see who can actually do a gd job if they get a high post in future.

Sunday, May 25, 2003

nxt week got so many tests, but weirdly, i'm a bit bochap abt chinese, which is quite bad.. ugh. did physics, but not veri gd also la..

mrs hong changed my piece to debussy's one. arabesque or smthg.. it's nice.. but i dun think i can play it well. hopefully she can teach me by sept. den the beethoven piece she wants me to go at this really really fast spd.. it does sound nicer, but the hands really get tired fast! running notes all ard..

wh's not gonna do her blog animore. haha. i helped changed her password, so she doesn't know and can't get in to do animore entries. gd for her. i feel like doing the same, but i'm not really tt tempted by wanting to update entries.. more like surfing and reading some gd fanfics. n also d/ling stuff on the net.. ohh!! i finished d/ling centerstage!!! din watch the whole thing, but i forwarded to the concert part i think.. it's very nice!! and modern.

10:02 p.m.

Friday, May 23, 2003
realised i haven't updated in quite a while, so i'll juz go thru some of the interesting things tt's happened this week..

ok.. monday. what happened ah? actually a lot i forgot liao.. haha. oh ya.. monday didn't have mep, but i stayed back with wh and s anw to study chinese, so that we can leave at 6pm to go straight to tuition.. save time. i think i do more work when i study in school.. at home i'll be tempted to use the comp, not very studying purposes.. haha. anw, it was a bit weird to see s there.. cos. dunno la, like a bit extra liddat. but anw.. once michelle came in, then EVERYTHING became a tad noisier.. and there was more and more gossip and such. she talks a lot.. and she prob knows it too.. haha. but more interesting anw.. at least i finished studying all the 20 ke by the time we went for tuition, so juz had to revise at home. dinner was tao hui and a crossiant. went back home.. i was quite tired of studying, and went to watch friends! diz episode was nice, and the main thing tt pple remembered was the song that rachel and ross sang ('i like big butts and i cannot lie, my brothers cannot deny, when a woman walks in with an itsy bitsy waist...' can't remember animore).

tuesday.. had band as usual. now the weather's super super hot, so during sectionals in the old specs stand, with blazing sunlight, u'll get hot, tired and sweaty really easily. trombone attendance was quite bad.. only alicia, poh leng and wendy were there. 4 pple. luckily din have combine, or we'd be much softer than usual and totally unbalanced.

thurs.. quite a normal day, except it was my grandma's death anniversary, so we went to my uncle's house at night for a small mass with the whole family. it was quite nice, and we had a small but surprisingly filling dinner. well, missed the 8-9pm american idol, but watched the 10pm one.. ruben won!!!!! ahhh. i wanted clay to win.. but the votes were only like 1000plus difference, out of 24million votes.. the difference is so small! but now ruben looks very much more relaxed, can sing better oso. kelly clarkson came back and sang one song with the rest of the finalists.. didn't realise her voice was so powerful, but towards the end she was shouting a bit, but it's still really gd anw.

today got 2.4 run for napfa test.. did 13:47, it's a bit worse than last yr's 13:28, but can't complain, it's still an A rite? our class is really good lor.. we're the only class where everyone's below 17min. and SO many people were 13min plus or 14min plus.. which is really gd. i think 25 pple got A.. geri was the best, 10:31. she's really gd.. muz be all the netball training and running and jumping... haha.

anw, i'm at home now slacking.. taking a break from studying for nxt week's 5 tests.. got eng and chi mock exam paper 1 and 2.. and physics and history test. at least sec4s dun have mid-yr review tests, which are nothing short of exams..

03:46 p.m.

Sunday, May 18, 2003
mep exam was rather difficult.. the one on sat. cos the playing was so fast, and got quite little time to do the questions in b/w the playings.. the the eroica essay was quite bad i think.. how to write until 12 marks?! haiya. but anw, it's over, so i'm not gonna think abt it animore.. i'm juz taking some time off from studying chinese.. cos i'm as xian as wh now. i slacked the whole night yesterday and this afternoon also; din feel like studying after the exam. at least i'm almost halfway across the san shang book. 12 more ke to go.

started practising for second instru really late. horribly late. the exam's on wed, and i only found a score on thurs and practised for a while on sat. trombone scores are weird, quite 20th century.. luckily got cd inside for me to listen..

went to this website www.mothergooserocks.com where they have a techno or pop remix of a lot of nursery rhymes.. it's very funny!! haha. i especially like the 3 little pigs one.. supposedly sang by wolfy martini. which is prob ricky martin, it even sounds like him. haha. wonder what ivy will say to that.. but the other songs r nice too.. din realise they can make nursery rhymes sound so nice.. rub a dub dub is also nice. sung by 'the nice girls'. know who? spice girls la... haha.

11:36 p.m.

Sunday, May 18, 2003
song i'm currently in love with is... *drum roll*... the Suite from The Parent Trap! by Alan Silvestri! yea! it's really really great, some parts is really quite soothing and sad, another part is all light and jazzy, and plus the sound of all the strings, flute, clarinet.. haha. i like it. he also composed the theme for forrest gump and back to the future, practical magic, maid in manhattan and lilo and stitch.. i think so far the composers i'm more impressed with are alan silvestri, john williams, joe hisaishi and nobuo Uematsu..

03:00 p.m.

Thursday, May 15, 2003
ahh.. the previous entry was made by wuhui.. i'm not dumb k.. haha. ya. today she and michelle came in the morning ard 8.30.. to study eroica, so we've been listening to eroica the whole day and studying our notes.. but after lunch we kinda started slacking, and they wanted to write an entry.. but the comp 'd/c'ed, so the entry was erased, then she juz settled for the 'dumb' statement. haha.tt's her, not me.

anw, the original entry was abt me being a 'maid' for them.. what lor.. they juz run away and left all the dishes for me to clear!!!!! and still wanna call me a maid.. bleah.

later went for music lesson.. and after that went to music essentials in meridian hotel.. so nice!!!!! i can't believe there's actually a music shop liddat. the pple are very friendly and socialble, very helpful also.. she kinda helped me to choose a song from the trombone exam, which i totally forgot abt.. until today, or yesterday. so i only have abt 2 or 3 days to finish practicing it. hope it works.

american idol again!!! really, i think all the three finalists, clay aiken, kimberly locke and ruben studdard shud win this comp, it's a terribly tough fight now.. only abt 4% difference b/w the final votes. clay's gd, though the first song wasn't... i liked the 2nd song!!! haha. and also ruben's third song.. but i forgot the name! ever love you, or something like that?? dunno already.

after napfa test, my legs are really aching now.. and after returning from music lesson with 5 heavy books, my shoulders are aching too.. ah. but nvm, hopefully it'll go away soon. actually wanted to run tmr, but i think my legs wun cooperate, so nxt week then run la. oh ya, i think the class is really really very yong gong, like, since sars hols ended, we've been going down almost everyday, or every 2 days the most.. but u'll always see someone from our class running.. hahah.. so nice. and now most of the class also exchange books.. like, we were all reading 'a child called it', now everyone's reading 'chinese cinderella'.. like someone read a nice book then pass it ard, then the whole class will read. haha. nice.

Your ideal mate is Bobby Drake. With his innocent
sweetness and his boyish good looks, how can
any girl go wrong? He's the type of guy to
supply you with all the TLC that you can
handle, and he'll always be there for you when
you need moral support, or just a shoulder to
cry on. Though he is still young, he lacks the
experiences of life, and can be naive.

Who Is Your Ideal X-Men 2 Mate? (ladies only)
brought to you by Quizilla

bobby drake!!!! he's so cute.. haha. actually, my first one was cyclops.. i like cyclops also, but then the picture of him wasn't nice, so i put bobby drake's one.. iceman! haha. they're both gd-looking..

08:45 a.m.

Wednesday, May 14, 2003
yay!! yay!! ah.. i finally finished that CD label!! and it's super super nice.. with a jim brickman picture in the front!!! ahh.. what a sense of accomplishment, even though was a bit frustrated earlier.. wow. haha. yeah.

09:44 p.m.

Wednesday, May 14, 2003
guess wad i'm trying to do now.. print a cd label. i've tried and tried and tried, but i can't get the picture to overlap on the printed paper...haiz. wasted abt 2 copies liao. actually, i planned to finish up my a maths revision tonight.. looks like i've to sleep a bit later.

today got napfa test.. did quite well. haha. happy la. better than last yr! the main problem was the sit and reach one, but i could do that today, dunno whether it's because i shake my hands, then the muscles relax and the hands 'grew' longer or what. but anw, i got my A! haha.

after napfa, we went to j8 to eat in pasta mania or something.. the food was semi-nice, but it was quite cheap la.. the seven of us went, me, wuhui, shiyun, adeline, ethel, serene and susanti! so many rite? when we went there, so valerie and 2 others from 4F come out.. quite surprised, then we go in, got another grp of 3 st nicks girls.. then we halfway eating, then suddenly saw sheena and daphne outside!! they wanted to eat there too! really didn't expect them there.. then after the food, went to walk around, then saw some P-excos... wendy, jasmine, desiree, and.. forgot liao. haha.. but anw, wow. all of us there.. unexpected.

09:25 p.m.

Sunday, May 11, 2003

realised i haven't updated for quite long, was a bit lazy la.. haha, and got bio test on mon. anw, today's mother's day! went to church bright and early, left the house at 7.40.. guess what? the auditorium was already full, and we had to go to the overflow rm, which was almost full already! in case u dunno, service was supposed to start at 9am... haha. then we went out to eat breakfast after reserving places, and this man shared our table in the foodcourt.. he had come at 7.25! haha. and i realised some pple come at 7am summore.. wow.

anw, today's msg was really gd.. mainly abt casting ur cares onto the lord.. but the way he said it was really funny and easy to understand.. juz tell him, 'i can't do it, but YOU can,' so u dun need to do anything, and juz tell jesus tt u're giving it to him, now it's HIS problem, and u juz dun need to put any effort into it. cos god likes u to have a carefree bochap life. yup. haha. tt's what he said. like the ard 10yr-old girl who was asked, "what do u do when the devil knocks on ur door?" she answered, "i used to let the devil come in, then he made me do lots of bad stuff, being rude etc.. but now, i just say, 'jesus, i'm not going to answer it, you answer it for me.'" haha. tt's an old story, but still short and sweet.

in the afternoon, went to eat dim sum for lunch, but we spent i think half an hr or more waiting for the food to come.. it took really long, and sorta ruined the mood, but kim and george spent their time playing with the new beyblade yoyo thingy, and i juz kept drinking tea, and tea, and tea... then everytime i look at my mom, she'll look at me, cos she also got nothing to do, then she'll say, "ok, drink summore tea.." den she'll pour for everyone.. haha.

came home really late, muz admit tt i was a bit frustrated, cos haven't finished studying for tmr's bio test, then wasted 2hrs during lunch hr.. but anw, managed to read finish, then watched the parent trap!!! hahahahahaha... so nice! i've watched it b4, but it's still very funny.. family movie, fun plus romance.. remember the part when the lizard went inside meredith's mouth?! ugh..

oh ya, i haven't said anything bout the student leaders' forum.. it was gd, much better than i had initially expected, but a little short of time, cos mr wong made announcement tt it started at eight.. supposed to be 7.45 lor, den very rushed, and couldn't finish everything also.. but i think that there was a lot of feedback, some very practical suggestions also.. very gd.

tt song was composed by jim brickman... i accidentally d/led one jim brickman piano song.. and wow. heard tt one, then i started lookin' for all his songs, most of which r quite old, but very nice.. both piano & sung songs... mainly love songs actually, but ranges from a lot, like romantic love, or motherly love.. love from a dad.. etc. muz listen!! there's angel eyes, the gift, valentine.. yay.. veri nice.

he's mainly a talented pianist.. and composer.. plus he can sing too! juz love his songs. u can go to his site here at www.jimbrickman.com

10:06 p.m.

Thursday, May 8, 2003
tmr we're having a student leader's forum.. at first it was a bit confused up, cos we all thought it was for the entire sec4 cohort, when it's only the leaders.. but nvm, there aren't many changes to be made, and i don't have to do a seating plan! haha.

today's band was a little less 'challenging'.. cos mr ong came, not ms sia, and he brought 3 SIMPLE marches. when i say simple, i mean simple. el capitan, washington smthg, and another was like sousa specs.. compared to what we had to learn and memorise last time, this was juz mere sight-reading.. but the fact is we played it quite badly. when it's supposed to be easier.. haiz. for some people, it seems as if they come for band juz for socializing, and a few sections also slack a lot... if that's all they want, and they dun wanna practice, i think we'll be better off if they juz quit and join the interact club! well anw, the sec1s are quite alright, they can sight-read to a certain extent, which is a start i suppose. juz a little bit too soft for a trombone, and their tone's not there yet, though one of them is quite gd.

after band we had a photo-taking session! a mini one la. hahaha. with wuhui's camera.. then we did the poses with fleming's left-hand and right-hand rule!! AND right-hand grip rule!! hahaa. we're so into physics.

oh ya, in the morning when i reached sch at abt 7.10, then shiyun suddenly told me tt qianyi asked me to help her take drills today cos she's sick!! i think i was very surprised, then i ran all the way down and gave them 10min drills... belo, but now i'm a bit confused what they're supposed to learn.. but luckily, nxt time it's qianyi taking and not me. haha.. come to think of it, it was quite funny... everyone in the corridor could see me running down..

went to ask teachers if we can make tues an optional day for the sec4s, cos it's really tiring to keep studying for tests, esp if wed gt test.. i'm ok with it anw, but some pple might be a little stressed, so anw, mr wong said ok, but we gotta ask ms sia. haha. i'll ask her nxt band prac.. she din come today. of course since it's optional day, i still think i'll come anw.. really really tired tonight, dunno why.. but at least there're no more tests for the rest of the week! haha. but there's still bio, a maths and mep mock exam nxt week anw.. but i shan't worry abt that now.

american idol! josh gracin got out.. actually this week he didn't do tt bad, but the others were still better, so i'm glad he's out.. but now it's down to only THREE pple...tt'll be really tough. i think kimberly locke's good lor.. but the judges keep saying clay and ruben are the top.. i think kim's better than ruben.

tmr i'm playing accompaniment for candice's violin exam.. everytime i agree to be someone's accompanist, i'll kinda regret it after a while, and this is one of the times again. there's too little time to practise, and if i don't do a gd job, it'll affect her playing also.. but everytime i try to tell them that, they'll say 'aiya, nvm one la, it's very easy, sight-reading also can play! and it's slow..' well, it's not tt slow, and even with sight-reading u can't play it perfectly.. there's gotta be a few slips somewhere. i need.. uh.. what's that word.. ok, i need to be more firm! in speech, and more stubborn! sometimes, i can't turn them down... but heng, i didn't agree to play for mich's grade 6 exam, or i'll kinda die, no offense to u michelle.. haha. but anw, luckily there're still things tt i'll definitely say no to... drugs! haha.

10:25 p.m.

Sunday, May 4, 2003
i'm just putting up the links to other pple's blog here first.. cos dunno when i'm gonna actually do a 'links' page. but does it look ok? if it does, then maybe i'll juz leave it like this..

10:02 p.m.

Sunday, May 4, 2003
sat's band prac was gd. really gd. compared to tuesday's, and last week's.. we played concerto d'amore again, and it sounded much better!! hahaha.. i think the trumpet section's improved quite a bit, they seem to be able to play more 'together' now.. but sat we didn't prac with the horns.. dunno whether it's cos they're not there then we play better not.. hahaha... no, juz kidding... i'm sure they'll add to the more empty parts. after playing that song well, it was easier to play the syf pieces after the long 'warm-up'.. well, to me at least.

next week's gonna have so many tests.. chem on mon, chinese on tues, and on wed, there's ss test AND mep 1st instru practical!!! plus didn't really plan my time during the weekend well, so time's a bit scarce.. but it'll have to do.

just watched X-men!!!!! the special effects are really.. wow. i like jean!! hahaha... can't wait to watch X-2 now.. and the matrix reloaded! isn't it funny how all the gd movies come out together, esp during impt times like during exams, and during normal times, there aren't tt gd shows? haha.. k, better get back to my work now..

09:40 p.m.

Thursday, May 1, 2003
oh my gosh!! tonight's episode of american idol was juz tremendous, i think the best of all the finals so far... almost ALL the contestants really did their thing here.. except josh gracin. i can't believe he didn't get kicked out! trenyce was GOOD tonight, even better than last week, although i still think kimberly locke or clay will win.. kimberly most prob. ahh. it's such a waste.. trenyce was good tonight! anw, tonight's theme was songs from the 60s, and the contestants had to do two songs instead of one.. i think the bar has really rised up high high above.. hahaha. it was awesome.. and in the results show, they sang the 60s medley, and 'what the world needs now'.. and the old contestants came back! kimberly caldwell!! she's quite gd.. it's too bad she's out. ahh. i still think it's a darn shame that trenyce's out now.

went to michelle's house after tuition today to study.. with her and wuhui.. haha. it was quite fun, though not exactly super productive.. juz finished studying chem.. more of the basics... then the rest of the time we were at the computer watching friends! haha. realise tt it's quite funny leh.. i think i'll try to catch it on monday.. maybe.

do i sound more upbeat? i think i do.. and ya.. my previous entry, abt my parents tt thing.. it probably isn't as serious as it sounds.. just a little bit of a tiff. yup. but i didn't really know how to phrase it yesterday night, so anw.. it's ok. but thx emmiline anw!

09:45 p.m.

Wednesday, April 30, 2003
today started off quite well.. though we had that history test, it was source based, so it didn't need that much memorising. then i had abt 4 free periods during the whole day.. 2 during ss cos mrs sherwood din come, and 2 for e lit, the normal free period. it was quite relaxing.. then we took photos during that time.. for the sec4 thing la. oh ya, it's susanti's birthday today! they were supposed to go out, but almost all of them last minute couldn't make it.. so, i think it was cancelled anw.

tuition was quite enjoyable.. jenna didn't come, so the whole class was a whole lot quieter.. hahaha. but she's fun la. up to here, it was a pretty good day. mallery's dad even sent me to the bus stop.. so i reached home in ten minutes! haha.

it's only today that i realised tt there's a bit of friction b/w my parents.. my mom's been really moody lately, and scolds us a lot. so after dinner, i was so frustrated tt i couldn't do any work, so i decided to play the piano to vent it all out. what do u know.. it worked. i was listening to the song 'zui' by leslie cheung.. and played it on the piano. the song's beautiful.. beautiful chords, plus his voice adds all the emotion, but i think one of the best parts is also the piano introduction.. then also played eyes on me, and mononoke hime.. i think those last two songs sound better instrumental than singing.. love the chords. so nice.. that i played for abt 1hr i think. haha. and didn't even practice the pieces i'm supposed to prac for next week's prac exam. well. anw, today's one day i realise that the piano's a beautiful instrument.

my mom's really stressed. she hides it well i think. she's very tired all day long, shoulders ache.. that sort of thing. plus my bro didn't want the food and soup she prepared since morning.. which made her really angry. i think everyone has a part to play actually.. in minor household chores, or at least cleaning up after yourself. some people... just complain. That stresses everyone out.

it's been a rather slackish day.. but during band we got to teach the sec1s for a while. one of them was quite gd, but another one wasn't very gd... still muz teach them the basic techniques.. use diaphragm and all that, but they can't seem to get it yet.. well.. hopefully they'll get the hang of it soon.

oh.. tmr got history test, and i just finished watching a movie!! hahaha. can u believe it? anw, it was the she's a man, he's a woman show... leslie cheung one, it's really funny.. nice show.

yay! at long last.. i can see my blog! haha. nxt week got history test only.. i feel kinda weird having only ONE test. but following week got mep prac exam! and the nxt. and the nxt too.

band pracs have resumed.. we had a new repetoire, cos otherwise we'll prob go senile, as ms sia puts it. haha.. i agree. played concerto d'amore..?? i forgot how it's spelt.. it's a really nice song, esp the swing part! haha, but we played it quite.. un-nicely, so it didn't sound as gd as it should have. can't help thinking of sajc concert right now... they played that song really well, much better than mononoke hime.. oh ya, emmiline wants to ask ms sia if we can play mononoke hime!!! hahahaha. dunno whether can not.. hopefully we'll do it semi-justice.

for the speech competition, sarah won.. her prepared speech was really gd.. women are from venus and men are from.. pluto? there was this poem she added too, but i'm not sure if it's her own or from another source, but anw, the whole speech was really interesting, kept all of us in laughter the whole time. very witty. her impromptu one wasn't as gd as sonya's, probably cos sonya chose 'failing the o levels', a much more interesting type of fear.. but i think sarah really deserved to win. she's gd.

my blog sucks. end of story.

i finally realised that.. o levels are coming! this year! as in, of course i've known it, but today it sorta sank in. i think.. at least part of it. so i've decided to slap myself awake during class.. and to take off my watch during chinese especially, so that i won't keep looking at my watch. this way, i actually stay awake.. haha. my eyes hardly stray to the clock anw.

wuhui keeps wanting to take photo! everyday.. 'muz wear nicely ok? today take photo...' then i'll have a meeting, then can't take, so it's the next day.. and the same thing all over again.. hahahaha. but i think tmr we'll take it la.. 'click!'

it's speech day tmr! go sheena! haha. the 4 S's are the finalists.. Sheena, Sonya, Sarah and Samantha.. coincidentally. plus the four judges are their teachers each!so qiao.. well, anw, i'm quite looking forward to it, it's sure gonna be interesting, they're all great speakers. and can write really well too.

there's something terribly wrong with my internet thingy.. server or whatever, i can't seem to see any of my changes until ard 24 hours later. like i juz changed the template to an orangy one with a beautiful flower.. but i can't see it. can u?

anw, since i didn't put up any easter entries.. here's one! an interesting easter story.. dunno whether u'll like it or not, but it's quite nice. u can find it here!

yupz. i added this linkpage to stories i've read on the net.. actually a lot of emails.. haha. u can see it on the side bar under 'story links'. the easter story's there too.

today's been.. a little rushed. first, had to wash my shoes.. turns out my bro's shoes r the same size as mine, and he just left it there in front of the tub, after washing it. so when it was my turn to wash MY shoes, i thought THAT pair was mine, cos it didn't even looked washed! still so black. .. so anw, i washed HIS shoe again, and when i realised my mistake, it was already hanging outside to dry... so i had to clean out mine. and my sister's. wasted a whole hour man.

later.. had to go for music lesson at p.s... kimberly's got a thing for hamtaro. the cute little hamster tt macs is giving out in the happy meal packages.. so she REALLY wanted one, and i helped to buy it. so she had to eat the plain dry cheeseburger with fries and a drink (she couldn't finish it) while we all had a gd meal in the food court.. haha. my mum kept laughing at her, saying 'hamtaro... ham tam u ah..' haha. not bad.

well.. after music lesson, which ends at 4, had to go to mavis for maths tuition at 5-7.. THEN for science tuition at 7-9. quite tiring.. a little, had juz a bun for dinner, but i wasn't hungry. weird. haha. was late for science tuition by ard 40min.. then mich and i stood outside the classrm laughing and laughing... or at least i did. FINALLY. after getting my wits back, i strode into class and sat down. haha. dunno why i was laughing either.
