nice funky jazzy songs today!:) haha. they sound quite fun:) think concert will be more varied. n probably more enjoyable.. groovy beat! haha. and the "if i can help help help somebody" tune is stuck in my head now. well. should get used to it huh. since it almost always happens. o well. alrite. ought not to be online given that i just watched ice age. its so cute! i like the mammoth. and the sabretooth tiger was actually quite nice too in the end. glad he didn't die. haha.
haha well its been a week. quite fast. also cos of hari raya holiday. felt quite slack this week cos i rushed horrible bio tutorial on mon. but again i'll have to go read the topic properly since i was just copying off. heh.
sigh. so now i'm a bit backlogged with maths s. so tempted to just leave parts undone n copy the answers on monday but will see how. i still can't get over how i can just spend time trying and trying n not succeeding.
haha and today's physics prac.. i think sometimes me n aud muddle each other up. but its quite funny actually we'll not understand this/that in dc circuits and aud will be like "i'm going to whine at her [mrs cheong] again!" but at least i think we understand in the end. hopefully. okay i just saw last fri's entry and almost the same thing happened. this has to be proof of how similar my fridays are. like the coming home early for once thing too. haha how sad.
o yes this week was 1st chem s session it was quite interesting actually. i mean i was more awake for it than math. maybe cos we discussed quite a bit and then everyone [okay well a few pple] ask questions n stuff. tho somehow i find that getting us to present then tcher present e given answers takes kind of long. but i guess its gd too seeing alternative solutions?
hmm. 1st time i'm back home early in a long looong while. it's been such a long time since i've seen the carpark empty and the sun still shining [well, behind the clouds] when i get home. today's weather was not bad! not as crazily cold as yesterday.. luckily:)
and phys prac was quite fun.. nice n slack;p and it was quite funny seeing audry whining. but anyway. audry asks v interesting questions. which are very good cos they make one think n understand the topic better. o yeah n thanks yaozong for helping me with chem s haha i'm like bugging him for every single little thing:s
yeah. at least last night the sing a song of sixpence weird rhythm tune part was out of my head. but there's tomorrow! aahh. well. i prefer pseudo yoik though its higher. oh yes now there're like 6 sop1s in all so i think i won't have to go up anymore. bit sad it was quite fun switching parts but i think its more comfortable now:D i wonder if he'll really give us that dunno-how-many-parts song to sing.. it'll be fun.. but challenging.
oh yeah. quote of yesterday would be junwan asking "what dropped?" when mr teo collapsed on the floor. couldn't stop laughing when pingying told me.. n "should i sprinkle some water?" n poking. n "is he still breathing?" but i guess it would have been rather scary:s hope he's all right.
yay! and tonight i think i can finally sleep before 1.. for the whole of the past week i've not slept before 1. except maybe last night which was 12.45 but well its almost 1 anyway. shall have to go n ponder over whether i feel like going to sch early to do bio prac. hmm. if he's going to give us another block to do it.. i won't bother! haha.
ahh. pe wasn't that bad surprisingly. n luckily she allowed us to take home gp to do. haha we were spposed to start on it in class but heck was doing maths s with ser instead. anyways it really makes more sense to have a proper timed exercise at home! ah anyway so pe was that trial napha test thingy which was so slack.. touch ur toes for 5 counts, at least 5 or 6 chin-ups, run ard 4.5rounds in 12mins, sbj. haha. yay!
maths s. woah. this is like the 2nd worst lecture.. after mammalian histology.. haha.. she was going like a shinkansen.. [i think for histo, ms teh was going like an airplane] and i was freezing and couldn't copy very fast. o well. wasn't that bad considering how i always nearly fell asleep in french last yr. guess it requires more brainwork. like i was telling val i wanted 2 pairs of ears [and another brain too haha]
okay! clar feels really really stupid. like chem halogen tutorial is so freaking hard. and chem s is definitely not much better. but 1st let me gripe abt halogens. i think i sat there for a few hrs per day for 3 days, thinking. or rather, staring at the tutorial and all the organic chem notes, wondering how in the world to get the answer. its so futile. given that [like my mom said] i don't even have much knowledge in the first place so thinking wouldn't help v much. which is actually quite funny in a pathetic sense:p
yeah. so i'll end up bugging yz/serene on sms/poor hannah online haha. and then when i find out the answer, its actually not that hard.. bahh.. this is really the first time i feel so so so pathetic! haha. interesting experience come to think of it.
-feels round- actually last night i felt rounder. but anyways.. ritz carlton! whoo~! i think its like posher than vegas.. probably cos of the art pieces n classical music. as compared to like casinos n smokers haha. service also seems better. or maybe its my memory:p
anyways it was a good dinner. cousin was amusing me with tales of nonsensical army stuff such as their xmas party and cny celebration. and we were talking abt choir stuff cos he was frm tpjc choir.
oh.. yes i was rather amused by my other cousin who came over in the morning.. she described her p5 teacher as "heartless" bcos she gave a lot of extra hw.. and then she was talking about her hamsters [which she used to be scared of handling, don't know about now] and saying "aiyah.. the sun always shines on them [their cage].. dunno whether they'll survive or not.. nvm lah if they die i don't want anymore.. so troublesome to keep.."
yeah. i love my cousin's grand piano. she's so lucky! with a huge house somemore. but like i said last dec i wudn't wanna live in it. and last night the sky was so clear! saw so many stars:) pretty starry night:)
bah. throat is still quite phlegmy. drink water!
hmm. rather sad reunion dinner. only realised the full extent of it when giving uncle n aunt a lift home and aunt was talking. yeah. rather a dysfunctional family my dad has. so the table was unusually empty and quiet.
yeah so the aunt whom we gave a lift to was like its so sad for grandpa cos he's so old and still got such problems.. supposed to enjoy old age and stuff but now like tt.. then i got all depressed too. well.
oh the dog's cute:) though actually i think its kinda ugly. and overactive. but it's still a nice loving dog. wish i had one! bleah. golden retriever! or a lab. or a mix.
yeah i'm quite tired now. left grandpa's hse [in tampines] at 9.20.. fetched aunt n uncle to woodlands and then went to pump petrol and then come back home. at 10.30. its like from west to east to north to west. sleep!!! haha.
yes i agree with serene tt doing s papers makes ur blanco-ing skills very polished. anyways. cny eve. quite uneventful really. 413 class lunch was quite good. haven't talked properly to puee n joon n pam in a long while:) pity everyone went off quite early though.
hmm. hope i won't be bored tonight. given that i can't speak dialect haha and its mostly adults there tonight. bleah. nvm there's still the dog to play with. hopefully.
ohh.. krishna n wuiming were really good today:) lovely! josh groban songs! ahh. i think i like foreign language songs. even though half the time i havent' the foggiest idea wat they're about.
thankew chris for lending me saltimbanco:) i was quite afraid u wudn't get my msg in time:p
hmm i remembered i wanted to write something but halfway i forgot. well. i'm at qn 8. seems okay for now but i still dunno how to do qn 1 n 3.
ohh! yes.. every monday mrs lim lets us off 10mins early cos we annoy her so much. its quite amusing:p kinda pity her i think we try her patience quite a bit. n luckily don't have to do the summary by tmr if not i'll just collapse;p
k i shall press on n finish maths s n finally feel accomplished
lovely. i'm half-sick and i have to finish my maths s tutorial by tmr so i can hand it up. ugh. and like the whole day pple have been going "haha u've to hand up".. thanks.. .... well. at least i think i won't have to hand it up for a loong time:D although it doesn't help tt i'm quite lousy at linear inequalities.
and looking at serene's/changmou's answers i feel extremely dumb and i'm like.. hmm.. how'm i ever gonna think of such things during exam.. i can't even do it now out of the exam hall.. bleargh. time to go redo the whole thing so it looks nice n presentable n mr chan won't kill me:p
clar thinks she is sick. after having a 5-hr nap [this must be the first time or at any rate it doesn't occur v often] and a sore throat and a blocked nose. ugh:( must hve been all the late nights plus not enough water. haha. well.
oh! i love "there for you" by sarah brightman and josh groban. should get like val n reginald to sing it haha. alright. i shall hafta go get somemore work done.
ah i decided i'd better not post it on my blog i'll tell u personally if u wanna noe the rest of it:)
hmm i must say 2nd auditions were really terribly boring. am very glad we escaped partway to go back n sing our last-yr songs:) it was really fun! haha and hilarious given that half the time we were laughing and i think mr toh would have vomitted blood if he heard us singing like that... but it was still fun:) miss the j3s a lot!! sigh. somehow singing those songs again bring back lots of memories. haha n poor val singing her coyote-part in iddemdem alone. and clara singing alone for crucifixus cos both christine n jan weren't around.
i hope i don't lose my voice. esp with pseudo-yoik. eeks. haha mr toh on singing an octave jump frm middle a to high a "don't u think its a v shiok sound?" or sth like tt.
hmm. clar feels slightly sick. probably lack of water again. n i don't feel like finishing my bfast. not good.
yesterday was hilarious.. junwan's classmates [namely jiaqing n pingying] are jokers.. and she's so blur n gullible!! ahahaha:D but she's v good tempered lah considering wat they did.. haha.. its the 1st time in a looong while i laughed that much:p anyways we were in kfc n then pingying had this coupon for free cone at mac's. so jiaqing gave it to junwan n sed "why don't u go redeem it at the counter?" junwan stared at it "are u sure its still valid?" ahh i'll finish it later gotta go to school to do bio prac n have choir. hmm.
ugh this sucks ssef partner just drove over to my house to get the forms and just before that i discovered that we didn't get dr raj to sign some other form. so there, someone [probably my partner cos he's submitting the form] has to go to ntu. and then he just asked me for a photo! which he didn't remind me abt b4hand so i forgot. lovely. ugh. i really thought it was just digital that was needed yeah the real photo slipped my mind and i thought he reminded me but i forgot. which wasn't the case.
yeah quite sucky. anyways on a happier note i auditioned someone frm jkms today! haha. yay. think she should be able to make it but depends.. o well. auditions are quite interesting:) and i hate using the keyboard! ugh.
haha i seem to find this staying-back-in-sch-till-late thingy quite fun somehow. but not for consecutive days i guess. i lost my treble-clef-metal-bookmark thing!! please tell me sam has it or sth.. or if not then i can find it in its proper condition tmr.. argh;(
hmm auditions were interesting. tho i must say most of them sound very airy which is to be expected but i guess after all the drilling mr toh's given us its kinda imprinted in my mind. like after i see pple like wuiming n other zai pple at jkms/concerts play piano then i can't settle for less
okay i'm kinda done with the jobshadowing report. ugh. i don't like doing reports. feel rather tired. and still got more souvenirs to do. and my fingers feel weird frm bending wire. ugh again. oh i was in quite a laughy mood today though:) which is good:)
choir today. i must say candice u're freaking me out quite a bit. anyways, besides that. got a horrendous scolding frm mr toh. in fact, 2 scoldings. once in the middle of prac and once at the end. basically the point was that we weren't passionate about making music, we had a sucky attitude and weren't bothering and therefore we should hurry up and change cos we're capable of better. and our reward should be enjoying the music.
haha then we all evacuated to the girls' toilet and then they were saying that he was having a bad day n stuff. but inspite of that i still think he made a point. though i think a lot of pple may not have thought so. and yeah so my main point like i was telling hk during the bus trip is that choir is a very classical thing. even though yes i think i wud enjoy "dessert pieces" too. and i think without having gone to jkms and doing grade 8 there plus trying for my dip i wudn't have understood that. bcos i really learnt a lot abt music and making true music there.
yeah forgot to add sth abt comparing choir sessions to my piano lessons. like when prepping for exam i usually just play exam pieces n that's it. so its like just working on classical stuff until aft exams then play more fun songs. and even then its not those pop song kind bcos honestly i think those u can just play e notes and sing along or sth n have fun on ur own.
okay i guess that's the end of my ruminations. could say lots more but nvm.
oh i also forgot to add that for once [i think?] ms tan said she missed us. however reluctant it was! haha. blooh so bored. still feel slacky
hmm. i just got back. o well. lunch at mac's with class [i shouldn't have sat with yonglai n chelsea yeah a bit bright] then back to rg w ser!:) so fun! but pity mrs kwan wasn't there. well. ms tan's lovely:) haha she was hilarious. n it was so interesting to hear abt her ex-ses n etc:D
haha chris i hope u read this: ms tan thinks tt either u/chim will settle down [ie get married 1st]. sth to do with ur personality. cudn't msg u on the spot cos my phone conked out! ah well:)
yeah.. she's so cute n funny. miss her lots. and my old class! all over again. haha. well. let me attempt to list everyone.
1steph 2puee 3xinmin 4shiqin 5candice [cheng] 6lyd 7chris 8aud 9ser 10hannah 11zhini 12woonteng 13claire 14michelle 15lijia 16peiying 17joon 18lou 19sheila 20chim 21ting 22pam 23jiahui 24jolie 25xuwen 26huichu 27amanda [seah]
yeah. i think that's all. plus me. should be correct.
but i feel bit bad for spending so much time out. and of cos dear ser was pouring out all her woes [probably like my umpteenth time listening to her rants] almost fell asleep haha sorry but yeah:p i wonder wat ms tan thought. well. like i was saying.. we're her 1st batch! and the closest, according to her.
so we saw ms hoo n chen lao shi n teoch [he's quite hilarious too] mrs see. ms ning's on maternity leave! 2nd kid = gal! so cute:) yeah i think that's about it. actually i must say i didn't really envision this when i was in sec 1. as in like especially for ms tan the way she talks to us now is so like a friend kinda thing. quite nice. u think so ser?
haha yup. so there's choir tmr. sigh. weiying quick return me my scores! haha. i wish we were learning new songs its more fun. n i lost my pseudo-yoik score! its a nice song:) hope we have a gd time tmr. haha....
yay i can load everyone's blog now!:) whee~
anyways clar is quite happy at the moment, saw my church junior and jkms studio junior. haha. and met junior class! i think they're v nice pple:) yay:) n somehow they seem like they're more talkative than we were last yr. pity couldn't stay longer to talk to them cos they had storyline. there're a pair of twins n a pair of cousins in my junior class! so fun!
hmm. yeah. am glad this week's tests are done. don't like tests. oh and there was poon pe today again. man. kinda as bad as monday's. ugh ugh! sigh. i've to get down to doing my jobshadowing report. finally;p should have done it during hols but sigh.
yay 12.30 tmr:) happy day! wonder wat i'll do. well.
there's something v wrong with my comp or sth i can't seem to load my own blog. o well. anyways to chris n peiying, clar's ends at 5.10 on mondays, 2.30 on tuesdays, 12.30 on wednesdays, 3.10 on thursdays and 12.30 on fridays! whee~:)
pe on mon was quite a horror esp when ms poon was leading us running all over the place and we hadn't the foggiest idea when we were gonna stop. i mean if you can see the end in sight its more bearable don't u think. and after all the situps and backraisers and squats and pushups i was joking w candice n eunice tt we'd be like invalid today.. can't move at all.. and candice was saying her bai ka will become crippled haha.
right. feel extremely slack. must go rectify that soon. auditions seem to be quite exciting! haha. like weiying said. but of cos they haven't really started yet -shrugs-
yeah at least today's chem test wasn't that bad. careless mistake. o well. considering i didn't prep v much for it.
oh. quote of yesterday frm ser "its those small little paper all cannot do one rite?" on our math tcher's notoriously hard "class tests" which are printed on half a4 paper [okay there's sth v wrong with that grammatically but i'm too lazy to figure out] as in the qns are not the run-of-the-mill kind. as jane probably can testify? i think:)
