today is the type of day when you get exhausted- physically, mentally and financially. If only i can do that once every week or fortnight. been a while since i've enjoyed myself in the company of old friends! :) *happiness*
firstly though, the day started off at 5.30 in the (bloody)morning. I woke up and dressed and instead of going to nj, went to MOE for the teachers' day concert/performance to perform with the NIE stage band cos they need 2 trombonists.. so me and huixin are like there at 7.30. We are so extra! the dress code for us is full black. sam said we can wear skirts! we are so conspicuous when the three other girls wore pants. and i was wearing pink sequined slippers! i tot it was outdoors informal..!! inappropriate was the word of the day. so this in-charge person went and borrowed a pair of strappy black high heels from someone in the MOE..goodness. it was like teetering on virtually 2 pointed sticks. ><
walked around slowly and cautiously.. had breakfast and was given 20 bux for "transport fees" $). our performance started at around 9.40. They told us to be there by 7.30! #)($@#(!)*. the performance was ok, everything was smooth and i did not trip and fall all the way down the stairs. :D
went back to NJ in wenhong's mini car. cool car (mr.bean's car but white top red body) but definitely not for pple like me. 2 doors! the scramble to free the stuck seatbelt was hilarious. haha i feel oversized in there but it was fun digging out wenhong's love interest. Hee.
ok.. went home and changed before going back to CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls' School. To say that i don't miss it is definitely not true. The feeling of being in someplace so familiar will juz seep into your every pore though you have tried to convinced yourself life outside is better. 4 years in there. 4 yrs of memories. Everywhere i look there are memories attached. mebbe not the overpainted and gaudy classrooms, cos that concept was new, but everything else! sigh.
and the people! Saw the teachers Mrs. Sng, Ms. Poore, Mrs. Evelyn Tan, Mrs. Khong and Mr. Koh. mr. koh told us that both his Faith(us) and Hope class combined got 68% distinction in geog.. and that's the best in the level! Woohoo~!!!! feels good man. Haha. and almost all the faithians went back. i went sn late but din miss out much.. took a lot of digi photos with everyone and sang the "We Love You, Mr/Mrs/Ms _____" song to every teacher.
ate orange bowl!! OMG the taste din change at all. i'm raving but i dun care. nicest food in the world! the chilli still manages to plump up my lips into oversized sausages! haha yupz after eating went to town.. went Lido but can't decide on a good movie, so left and went starbucks instead. quite tired out then... pretty much stoned around. Then a few of us went to Far East for its western food. haha had a better time there. things juz gets better and better. Shopped around with sandy, rux and candice! highlight of the day... i dunno wat went wrong but suddenly i was damn crippled. hahah refer to rux's for confirmation.
bought a blue watch and 3 pairs of earrings. that explains the strain on the wallet but who cares. Yup can't wait for tmr to shop again! far east got nice clothes. haha meeting wif the 3 mentioned above for more intensive shopping. I'm eyeing on this pair of shoes.. and i might get another hole in my body. heh. all 4 gonna dress up and take photos! hee.

Long time since i last blogged. n'wae, noticed the new design? very minimalistic, very simple. Loved the song More to Life by Stacie Orrico so decided to add the lyrics in, plus the song at the background. Had a very stressful week. Everything is happening at once. Sometimes lessons are so unbearable my whole heart is concentrated on the tick of the clock, waiting impatiently for the lesson to be over. Damn. got 4/30 for my maths test, which is really quite something. Think i better go back to tuition.
Anywae, had a great saturday! Had a short band prac in the morning. being librarian is no slack work.. man.. quite stressful actually having to give out scores pronto. adapt adapt, slacker!
went to watch Tale of Two Sisters, the korean horror movie with some of the band peepz. Not bad la the show. mebbe gets a 3.5/5 in my opinion. The storyline is really quite confusing until the last bit.. korean movies always seem to like to play around with flashbacks and time warps. hmm. Had pretty good scares though, but seems like the "ghosts" always appear to be black, slimy and rotting. Juz like the ghost in Dark Waters. So original.
yeah ate BK.. had fun wif the pple. haha haobo's description of his hometown Beijing Duck is.. he says that the skin actually melts in ur mouth if u eat it immediately! that means only a small portion of the skin will be served.. cos it takes time to carve it and by the time u do that it will get cold and not have the same effect. man would i die to juz get a taste of that!
to qn: hey thanks for your gbook comment! mind if u tell me who u r?
and, do drop me a line in my otherwise stagnant gbook yeah? its breeding mosquitos. Malaria/dengue fever is bad!

Bring thou; into my spirit send
Peace after care, balm after pain;
And be my friend. -Sappho

I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
And why can't I let it go
[Chorus]
There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more
Than wanting more
I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment I'm half way out the door
Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing
[chorus]
Than waiting on something other than this
Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed.....
[chorus x2]

my defences crumbled. i cannot withstand the onslaught any longer. i have succumbed to the flu bug and is feeling downright miserable. all these resulted from a direct buildup of stress, lack of sleep and the chilly weather. Firstly is the amount of homework and the maths test on monday. The homework is enough to kill!
then came the slew of events. met up E.T after sch and was being bitched at.. then rushed like mad for guzheng... was in the rain too. saturday had V.nite. it's like a band function and they told us it was a formal dress thingy, so have to go and dress up do hair put makeup. *groanz* wore my prom dress last yr.. was in the rain again that sat morning cos went to find some makeup at amk.. then rushed to do hair at saloon near house. reached sch at 2.05(supposed to start at 2)but waited till bout 3+ for late pple.. quite lame la.. the seniors told us to dress up but in the end they blindfolded us and took us around sch to do stupid things and got sprayed by water. quite fun though hee. then there was the tunnel. it was a super long tunnel made of tables and we are supposed to crawl through the whole bloody length to reach the band room. i crawl until i want to die. i was exhausted and traumatized, i tell you, but it was fun!
had the catwalk...then ate the delicious buffet. the 3 late queens came then and we had fun "punishing" them.. they had to go thru the tunnel too. yeah.. then came the most fun event! hahaha the part where we had to dress up a guy as a girl. sean was the "chiobu"...man does he/she look like a transvestite. i laff until tears came out. and he go and act like girl on the catwalk....until v.exaggerated! haha of course he won. so farni! spontaneosity is the best. the shaving balloon thingy was quite lame though, so was the limbo(we had no appropriate music!)
the band room air con's off, so we were all steaming inside while it poured outside. first the rain now perspiring. who wouldn't fall sick? took photos and gave presents to the seniors hurridly.
woke up at 4 the next day. it was freezing. went down bleary-eyed to share a cab wif yong kwang and huixin to woodlands pri.. and reached at 5.30. we were like among the first few and we froze our butts off on the canteen benches.
things did get better though. we were posted to our stations along the road and i was near the bus stop.. get to sit down. then the big walkers came in bunches. there was so many people. Oh ya, there's this grp of guys at the first few.. then one of them v.good looking! hahah.. he stopped at the bus stop to change shoes.. then one of his friends came and said "want to make friend?(in chinese)" i was quite suprised.. but i declined anyway. i don't go around givin pple my no. haha.
went to distribute stuff after that. was working at the box tissue department. spent all the time unloading the tissue boxes. back-breaking work! ergh. it was so muddy on the field due to the antecedent moisture left by the rain in the morning haha. okok. came home after lunch at long johns. beat gave me and huiying a scare when she tot she lost her wallet. blur gal. haha juz like me the other time. it happens.
came home and slept. my throat was so so bad. feel like dying. its like my throat being grated on sandpaper and my lips were burning hot. hm. woke up and sniffled and sneezed that that's it, i got the flu. well, i have to go to polyclinic tmr to see doc cos ran out of medicine. i hate polyclinics. make me wait so long. sigh. planning to do my homework tmr.. try and complete what i owe.

a sms touched me last night
it made me see the light.
having friends that do care
is something i want to share.
I realised friends
drives away
dejection
rejection
abjection.
To all the friends that do care about me, just remember that i'm there, always. Remember that.
