ughs today's the last day of the so-called holidays and i find tt it has been the most unproductive break i've ever had.. blah.. it's like.. i feel so unmotivated.. do work for a very short stretch of time [if i even get any work done haha] and then its either radio/computer/piano/books/sth.. sigh. at least tmr's back to sch and hopefully i'll get back into my normal state haha
mm! got back frm the concert 1 hr ago.. was really good! tho i must say i didn't really like the 1st "third" of the performance.. all the goh toh chai songs.. hrms.. i guess i mite be a leetle bit biased cos he's the one who composed the syf set piece for choir this yr.. called "impressions".. which is spposed to sound like a gamelan orchestra therefore contains "dang deng ding dong dung" as the lyrics..
anyways.. then this person called nellie seng played.. she = hilarious.. took off the whole stand [for scores?] frm the grand piano n made a whole lot of noise.. and cos i was sitting in the 2nd row, cud see her grimace.. haha.. then she put it on the =floor=!! and then after tt held up this pen/pencil/sth and showed it to us n dumped it somewhere else too. hilarious:)
but her performance was awesome.. i guess her style's like really good.. you can see how expressive she is.. even better than my ex-piano tcher and that's saying sth.. i thot my ex-piano tcher was v zai already.. yeah. extremely moving. i really feel so pathetic when i watch pple like them play. *sigh*
4-piano and 6-piano pieces were really fun!:) tho i tink we shud have gone up to the circle seats for tt one.. cudn't really see anything frm 2nd row.. hais.. rather a pity.. but i only realised after the 1st piece started. win some lose some i guess. tho i tink i heard the 4-piano piece b4 in the last NAFA concert.. it was fun seeing mingjing n florrine n diane play anyhow:) and tt song was so familiar! mm.
but the best surprise was tt leeting was sitting nxt to me!:) i saw her when we were going to check out the circle seats but had no idea she wud be sitting there.. so cool:) and was really gd.. miss her lots. sigh.
anyhow i'm so glad sch's starting.. have been soo bored at home u can't imagine.. but at least i get to go out occasionally unlike lots of poor ppl who're stuck at home. okies i shall go sleep. tiring day.
ohh!! i forgot about this.. yesterday i was out w jane shopping;) assuage boredom yeah? anyways so after everything [including eating crepes and feeling guilty about the pounds put on haha:p] i went to music essentials at meridien and was browsing.. so happened that the bks i was looking at were nxt to the counter.. this british woman stepped up to the counter and asked in this posh british accent for the theory syllabus for this yr [i tink? i forgot.. but it was some kind of a syllabus:]
anyway the person at the counter informed her tt it was only available at music schools such as cristofori, kawaii, yamaha, etc.. and then she got super-pissed and went on in a rather ungracious manner about how "i'm not going to trek around the whole of singapore looking for theory syllabuses!" and "in london, -every- music shop has the theory syllabus.." and basically being totally annoying.. talk about snobbish.. sheesh. her voice was absolutely grating on my nerves.
anyhow.. i spent 1/2 of today listening to the radio! normally i dun listen unless i'm in the car and its usually on classical/news/french on the really rare occasions
to think most teenagers are spposed to listen to the radio all the time or sth. ah well. guess its cos there's only one compo/combo? watever. and its in my bro's room and he listens to it all the time when he's home and i can't be bothered to move it over to my room. also my room's in such a mess i don't think i'd have space for it. was just in a musicky mood today:) haha i have just invented an adjective! yay:)
hmm i tink the concert on sun nite will be interesting.. 6 pianos! can't imagine how much practise it took.
lalala i'm so glad i figured out all this crap
but its time for lunch
haha i'm so lazy i woke up at 11 and therefore didn't have breakfast
:):):)
oops
well
tts clar for u
haha!
its working
but rather weirdly
comments box at the top of each post? hmm.. i dunno.. heck.. at least i got it up.. ha! to chris!:P
argh i have no idea how to add in the comments thing
has been annoying me for quite sometime!
i shall have to ask chris to help [haha fine chris i give up:p]
can't believe this.. even after a 2 yr crap comp course [aka cift] at spore poly.. bah..
yay i got into choir! -happy happy happy-
and relieved
it was so freaky.. had to wait for almost an hour cos the 1st batch started late and took quite some time..
and then when my batch finally went in.. i was the one sitting nearest to the conductor therefore i had to start first.. aaah..
continued with tt for everyone.. and he asked everyone [except 4 of us, including me] about whether they had choir/music bkgrd.. so it was quite worrying.. also how much stuff he wrote beside ur name.. duno whether writing more/less is better.. hmm..
it also didn't help tt the conductor [mr toh] called us all into the LT and went "oh we're looking for a certain quality of voice for the choir.. so if u don't get chosen, don't completely go off music okay.. just take it as u have other talents.." talk about nervous.. i was practically shaking in the chair okay. of course the LT was cold too but yeah. therefore i was absolutely elated when he sed i was in sop2 and heaved a huge sigh of relief.. i've learnt to not let it show though, isn't always very nice esp when other pple didn't get in.
okay after one year at diary-x i decided to move back! haha:) well
mms i'm attempting to sing properly rite now cos i haf 2nd round of chorale auditions later! sigh. and i feel like i've got a sore throat. aaaaah. crap. and i thought it was okay yesterday. hmph.
haha after looking at my winamp playlist i realised just how few songs with lyrics i have on my playlist. just goes to show how pathetic songs-with-lyrics are.. or maybe it's just cos i usually can't make out the lyrics unless i go download them *rofl*
sigh i'm feeling so slack, everyday i get back and i hardly do any work.. i usually do my tutorials during boring lectures:p ah. i have to stop this crap. altho its just 1st 3 months but still. hm. must be the effect of my super-mugger class -shakes head- oh well
sighs why can't life ever be easy
i don't know what to do
in fact, i never ever know what to do
why why why why
what am i going to do?
it's so hard
everything's always so hard
sigh
this sucks. big time..
and if i weigh both sides.. i still don't know..
groans
moans
whines
:( =( 8(
feeling a lil out of sorts..
why can't pple be individual? is it so hard? why must pple compete? why must pple have what others have? why?
it doesn't seem all that appealing does it? wonder if that's called materialism.. i couldn't really care what others have.. i just want what i want.. why can't others be the same? okay i guess tts individualism.. not being the same
shrugs
i'm really confused here
is it all that hard to send one email?
that busy?
can't care less?
gah i'm being piggish
i shouldn't care so much
its not worth my caring is it
u should really just go do ur work and not bother anymore
hell, its not worth bothering.
yeah i'm going mad
don't mind me
aaargh so irritating yesterday i typed out this whole long thing abt the harry potter movie which i just watched..
shall hafta redo it *sighs*
okays.. was kinda disappointed in the movie.. metinks one should read the book after u've watched the movie.. i guess when u read the book u imagine for urself wat the characters and settings and all that are... and when the movie doesn't match up to ur ideals u get disappointed.. especially with all the publicity and hype abt the movie..
hmms 1st the casting.. harry potter was pretty gd.. just tt he's kinda tall for a midget as described by J.K. Rowling.. but he does look like harry potter.. hermione was gd too.. like her face:) quite pretty n sweet n cute.. but doesn't really look like a mugger *laffs*
ron looks kinda weird to me tho.. something abt his eyes. i'm kinda particular abt pple's eyes i guess:þ
and he doesn't seem to talk very much.. and for a lanky guy he's kinda short..
snape was quite okay.. but he didn't look all that cold.. mcgonagall was gd.. the strict tcher n all.. dumbledore was okay but he didn't seem to be very endearing or watever u call it.. din smile enuff or sth..
setting.. the inside of the castle was great! din look very majestic at night when the 1st years were sailing towards it on boats tho.. but besides that everything abt the castle was so british and so cool:) the train as well.. n the moving pple in the portraits! was really nice:) great effects..
music.. that was the most fantastic part:) tho the soundtracks i downloaded all seem to be pretty much the same.. but the way one can use *classical* music to create that magical effect is wonderful:) especially the harp! i luv the harp sound:) rather unfortunate that its kinda normal for the harp to be used when every other instrument is playing at its loudest, can't really hear much of the harp..
props.. the sorting hat was so cute! :) but i guess i was nitpicking or something or i've read the book so many times [yeah out of boredom] tt i noe the details too well.. it -was- spposed to slip over the eyes of the 1st years cos it was too big..
oh the quidditch match was cool :) like wow! on broomsticks they're like speeding blurs, i have absolutely =no= idea how they manage to play at all!! but something irked me as well.. when harry caught the snitch.. he seemed to have fallen off his broomstick and the broomstick disappeared.. *poof* just like that.. a bit queer don't u think..
the troll was interesting. my mind didn't conjure up an image of a troll *shrugs*
kinda think they left out quite a lot of stuff.. but it was pretty gd the way most of the stuff was the same as in the book.. i guess if they'd stuck to *everything*, the movie wud haf turned out 1 day long.. but funny how it didn't seem like 2 n 1/2 hrs to me.. sppose time always passes faster when u're absorbed in something.. in fact it actually seemed pretty short to me!
well tts everything i can remember at the moment..
hais and i thot i could get out of getting sick for one year.. so sad!
hmph shall try harder nxt yr *grins*
being sick is so terrible.. pure torture.. feel terrible, can't do anything to get well besides waiting for the next day and taking medication or watever other crap
and why oh why can't my diploma results hurry up and appear in my mailbox..
can't believe i dreamt i got 77.. hahaha.. distinction.. hmm... i wonder.. i just wish they'd hurry up.. *grumbles* or let me quote claire.. *sulk* *pouts*..
sighs. its been like practically .. hmm.. practically 3 months!! *ready to tear my hair out*
speaking of which my hair desperately needs cutting. and a new hairstyle.
hmms i don't seem to have much discipline to keep a daily blog huh.. *laffs* oh well..
yay went swimming again! i shall go swimming every 2 days.. exercise n keep my weight down n helps my spine n i like playing in ze water! ladida..
can't imagine how boring hols get.. luckily for now i haf something to do every week :) if not i'd probably die of boredom *laffs*
gd to go out a few times... before nxt yr comes *shudder* this yr was actually hell enuff.. not all that bad, but quite bad.. and i started revision for exams kinda late too.. again no discipline
tsktsk
should learn self-discipline better
hahaha again YAY chinese o's are over! :)
wasn't worth all the worrying :þ but oh well.. how wud anyone noe wat the paper was gonna be like..
heh tink those pple who skipped OBS to study for chinese find it even more a pity now?
dunno.. but i wud tink so
hmms and i actually feel bored now that i don't have to study chinese.. *shakes head* that's very very sad..
there's actually nothing to do
maybe i should go on with my letter-writing spree/marathon..
but somehow it doesn't sound as appealing as it did before the exams.. talk about wanting to do things when u can't..
blah
ah last day of school :) happy day :)
laffs
anyhow.. can't believe our school screwed up so badly.. i mean.. who calculates the whole sec 3 level's combined humanities marks wrongly *groan* waited from 10.30 to 12.45 can.. actually we were spposed to have recess at 10.30 [which we did in the end 'cos our form tcher sed the report books can only be given out when the principal says so] so fine.. recess until 11.15..
then happy waiting *gosh*
eek.
so glad i'm home :)
and i can't believe their criteria for taking 9/10 subjs nxt yr..
to take 9 subjs, must get 4 distinctions..
to take 10 subjs, must get 7 distinctions..
such a big diff!! gosh so unfair.. not like taking 10 subjs is v much different from taking 9. hmph.
luckily i scrapped through.. really v heng can.. if not i wud haf die-ded. plooh
boohoo i'm so sick and tired of doing chinese.. not that i'm all that well-prepared either. actually i don't ever remember feeling well-prepared for chinese *laffs* hmm.. i wonder how u manage to be well-prepared..
after all, u can't exactly prepare for close and compre.. besides practising i sppose.. argh i also sppose i should have read more chinese *hehe a bit late* 'cos my vocab is like really limited and i never noe wat ci2 yu3s go with wat.. sad huh
aah and still missing obs.. maybe i shud stash the photo somewhere else.. rite now its on the top right hand corner of my table and everytime i catch a glimpse of it i get distracted n can't do my work.
actually i can't do my work anyway *laffs* not much of a diff eh
somehow hafta get back into the exam-mode. bah not looking forward to nxt yr :( imagine.. 11 subjs! 'cos of combined humans as well. and i thot my ss wud pull up my lit. but maybe it was 'cos i chose the wrong qn.. well.. learn from mistakes.. wat to do
aargh.. chinese o's.. can somebody please tell me why i can't get down to doing anything..
obs withdrawal symptoms eh *groan*
wat'm i gonna do *groan somemore*
and tmr's getting back exam papers day
sigh. wat *can* we actually do for chinese anyway?
maybe i'm just being lazy
i tink i need to go back to sch if not i probably wun feel the urgency to study or watever
