Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day

2010-03-23T04:25:00.000-07:00

Zomg, this is the best I've ever felt after school during a school-crammed-with-homework season. I think. But confirm one of the best days! :D:D Cos it was

Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day! :D

Hahahahaha! :D:D My first free cone day in my life! (haha yeah i know i'm quite pathetic :D) Despite the looooooooooong curly curly maze-like queue we had to queue in, it was really worth it cos
1) I managed to study a teensy bit of ting xie.
2) We had a killer whale of a time! too much smiling induces more mouth cramps though :O

Sigh, but in the end Sandy couldn't join the queue we had queue-d for her. Darn all those people at the sides watching our every move!! Should've said she came back from the toilet or sth...
:( Sandy, we missed you super lots!! :( :( :(

Haiyah, in the end, I still went home to study dreaded ting xie. Though su long is such a nice teacher (he let us watch "Amazon" shows during chinese!! :D:D), I still cain't like ting xie :( Hhahaha I'm starting to crap now. I don't think I will be posting anymore after this, cos O's are getting nearer and nearer!! :O:O Oh oh ohhhhh. At least this friday no science test, can RELAX! :D

Happy happy post ;)

march holiesssss!

2010-03-18T03:33:00.001-07:00

Hey fellows!

I've just realised I haven't posted for quite a while :/ must at least post once during march hols! Anywayyy nothing much has happened. Except MEP Prac, which was ok. (someone got 58 ahh..tsktsk.) and hmm, PPR (screwed) and ohya. SUPER CRAMPS DAY!

It was horrid, I tell you. You don't need to know the details but just know that I was one hour late for band due to that. Darn, see I still have the responsibilty to go for cca! Please ah (refering to a certain person) COME FOR PRAC OK. SHE MISSES YOU ALOT.

Btw, Sandy! Your blogskin is awesome nice! I wanna change blogskin too man... ):

Oh oh oh I miss the times when holidays really meant that we were able to relax and grow fat from watching TV :( Now whenever I try to do that, I have this guilty feeling that increases as the days go by. So in other words, ONE WEEK AIN'T ENOUGH! We need many more days of relaxing!! We want Freedom!! *freedom!* Freedom!! *freedom!*

Ok enough. Geez I'm going mad again! Must be the increase in hormones. Too much oestrogen! Or is it progesterone o.O

Bye bye for now. We shall see if this unproclaimed hiatus remains till after O's. :)

Memoirs of a Ning

2010-02-18T04:07:00.000-08:00

The pace of school homework and tests (esp) are picking up...

pick up-ing, picking up, pick up gahhhh

poptropica's equivalent is making my stressful moments stress-free~~

i have finally broke the tests record! five tests to sit for in four days! maybe next time i won't even bother to count the number of tests...

oh what a beautiful mornin'...

oh what a bleak future~~~

Happy saturday-ing~~

2010-02-05T21:58:00.001-08:00

Omg...I just have this sudden urge to play Noah's Ark over and over again on my phone. Isn't it just so cool and happy and fun and cute to play! And it's gonna be our NBC, probable SYF and Jubilate song! So coooolioz! I must say, it sounds even nicer than Jericho! :D

and and and I think I'm once again addicted to "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus. Hahaha I think some peeps feel that it ain't such a nice song...but it is!

poor judd is daid~~~~~~

since we have a background test on monday for mep~~~~~

oh and Fellow underground stems, fruits and vegetables! WE NEED TO REVIVE OUR FARM BLOG (before we get too busy even to breathe properly)! 8D

ranting like some bull or random animal

2010-01-05T02:13:00.000-08:00

Forgive me rants. I can't help but fa xie my stress. Don't read if you hate people complaining or anything. I'm just confused/weirdly angry/blahblah ): OH I know, I feel...emo. Hahhaha.

How you tell me? How?!

You think we geniuses or sth ah...prodigies? I can't sight read fast enough in 3 months man! And to use those pieces for O's and no changes? Five in 3 months? FIVE?

How maly moly moly how........................................

I need those smelling salts that Laurey had from Oklahoma. I need to make the correct decision man. I need I need I need. Aiyahhhh why can't life be a easy straightforward happy thing. Ohya then life would be pointless.

Stuff like these are part and parcel of life. One day when I'm 80, I'll go "ha ha ha sec four so easy. wait till you start working man." No wonder people have mid-life crisis(es).

This blog should be privatized then deleted ): so annoying man. complain to the whole world.

Grrr

2009-12-04T17:45:00.000-08:00

What in the world is wrong with you.

I could easily write out an essay about your friggin habits, but who in the right mind would waste such precious time on you?

Escape Theme Park

2009-11-26T04:50:00.000-08:00

Escape theme park was rather boring. The rides which were labelled "thrilling" were not. And those which were labelled as "Family Rides" were rather small. The only rollercoaster there was so short that the ride operator had to make it go twice to make it seem complete and worthwhile. My facial expression was : most of the time. The most

DARN. I should really stop it right now. I find all the horrid stuff then bring it out to complain.

-tries to think positive-

...at least the food was good? :D

Great. I'm turning into zhangdi.

Sports Day 2009!

2009-11-25T00:09:00.000-08:00

...aka the last day in which we would ever see the old St Nicks standing ):

Despite this, there wasn't any deep sense of sadness or feeling when I left the school for the toa payoh holding site. But that could probably be due to the fact that I was pang seh-ed by ZHANG and SANDY. But Sandy's excusable cos she told me a looooong time ago. (unlike someone =.=) So in the end, I couldn't see or hear much from where I was sitting (with amanda) since some inconsiderate people [esp the pri ones decided that their private conversation was more important than finding out what's currently happening, and some others felt that by standing up directly in front of us (and in turn blocking one huge block of people) they could see better] were being inconsiderate, I left St Nicks not knowing which house won and didn't even had the chance to see much except given the chance to participate in the singing of hyms D:

Arghh I'm complaining once again ):

On the up side, I got to visit the holding site with zhang and joan and grace. And we managed to sort most things out successfully :D Also I managed to find out that we wouldn't have to survive solely on Macs ! :D (ahh i'm turning into zhang! O:) Cos there would be a coffee shop, bubble tea <3, face="georgia">
All in all, I'm starting to feel that moving out MIGHT not be as bad as I thought. Since the MEP room looks rather ok. But I shan't say anything first...O:

Teeheehee

2009-11-22T00:36:00.001-08:00

Oh gosh gosh gosh! I'm so happy I've finally bought some nice stuff for people haha! It's been super ages since I've spent $20 plus in 15mins. No wonder I felt so high and weirdly-godly :D Hahhaa oh~

Holiday life has been rather stagnant though, excluding the sudden high feelings I get when I shop & go out with the hanz and sandz :D Most of the time I'm sleeping or eating or facebook-ing or watching TV. Which is kinda boring. Then sometimes I eat so much and I don't go exercise but sleep more etc etc.

I'm gonna find the perfect skin <3>

while club penguin's keepin' me alive! :D

Holiday Bliss

2009-11-13T19:21:00.000-08:00

Geez. I find a super awesome skin and then when I have time to change it, the pictures go wonky ): Anyway, on a brighter note, the holidays are finally here! After days and days of dragging our tired bodies to school in the morning even when all our juniors are sleeping...they're finally OVER! :D :D So glad. Can't be merrier :)

Photos of Ikea outing shall be released to the public in time to come (when I figure out how to get pass the chim stuff). Hehehe :D Oh oh oh Chinese O Levels are finally over too! So like in other words, there's nothing else to worry about. For now. The sec fours have finished their O level papers too ytd.

It's our turn next year.

This thought occasionally strikes me, causing me to think, wondering if I could ever survive that humongous hurdle of hell. Hohoho (that's alliteration! :D) But thank goodness, no SYF or any competitions next year. But but but. Holding site ! ): It isn't that great, but also not that horrible. The conditions there should be bearable, but also taking in mind that we're gonna have to take our O's there next year. *shudders*

Think positive.

I'm going for porridge buffet tonight! 8)

Come November

2009-10-30T23:03:00.000-07:00

Finally.

EOYs, PPR, MEP Prac, Band Camp are over.

This kinda lifts a load off my shoulders cos it really has been rather stressful. I must learn how to live life happily and stop complaining, but at the same time, embrace the fact that behind every accomplishment is a load of hard work and perseverance.

MEP Prac was...to an extent, quite well done, since no one said that I should be better off in "Performing Minor" O: But nonetheless, missing notes and other stuff, tsk.

I should be high now. Cos I have set a new record of being awake till 2am in the morning :D I have never ever done that in my life before, except during one fateful CNY. But I was half dead at that time already heheheh :)

I must be high high high high high !

One more paper!

2009-10-12T19:55:00.001-07:00

Lit was rather okay. Surprisingly (:

One more left ! :D

(if there's a bigger font size i'll definitely choose it heh :D)

Happy happy happy!

Sec Three EOYs ):

2009-09-29T01:40:00.000-07:00

Tis' the season of EOYs.

It's mugging day and night for now ): But despite all these sad thingos, we get to go back home early to revise for the next day. No CCA + lessons = Quite relaxing. But also, that means that we have a high chance of going home to sleep, wake up to eat, then sleep again. Ah, maybe that's just me only /:

Must not give in to temptations! Must resist thy eyelids!

One reason why I have the time to blog now is prolly cos facebook isn't working.

But why in the world am I on the com anyway.

Cos I just couldn't resist playing Restaurant City. NO NO. Cos I care for my workers well being and I don't want them to die cos of insufficient rest. Ah (:

Two down, one million more to go. Sighs /:

Lamenting

2009-09-17T03:30:00.000-07:00

Geez I really don't know what's wrong with you. You get so angry and fed up just after one incident, when you did that to me a long time ago CONTINUOSLY. I do hope you get a taste of your own medicine, cos unlike her, you didn't learn despite how many times getting scolded. Getting extreme about this matter is rather immature actually. Either that or you've been reading too much emo books, which I think is another probable reason.

All I can do now is, in fact, laugh. In your face.

Still, I'm not (cos I'm nice)

But I am inside.

Behind your back (cos I'm nice again)

EOYs coming really soon. I don't think I studied this early last year. Last year seemed so blissful. And manageable. Not that I'm dying here (although I'm close to), but seeing everyone chionging to make notes, study when they're not supposed to, makes it seem that I'm doing it the wrong way.

GOSH my posts are becoming more and more...emo? ):

All I can say now is,

CAN'T WAIT FOR AFTER MEP EOYs (which is the last one ! )

Please please please make all this studying seem worthwhile...!

Class Party/ Horizons Wkshop

2009-09-05T02:03:00.000-07:00

Don't really feel the urge to blog nowadays /: Perhaps it's due to the overwhelming amount of stress they give in schools, or maybe it's cos of plain laziness?

Class party ytd! BBQ at Chantel's house :D It was quite fun, but really sweaty hahaha. Played basketball/ captain's ball most of the time, almost consistently (i had almost forgotten how much fun it was! :D).

All the way to 10 pm.

D: ...and I haven't been exercising these few months/ years.

So this morning had to wake up at SEVEN. Just to go for "...Horizons" workshop/ seminar which was initially very boring (many many rounds of speeches by principal, guest of honour...). And I had to walk to school with aching muscles and tired eyes ):

On the brighter side, school hols this coming week yes! (8

SL Workshop

2009-08-30T01:06:00.000-07:00

Saturday was spent mostly at ACSI. The leadership workshop was very insipiring O: But the instrument one was...well, quite enriching? In a way (:

Majority of Term 3 is gonna be over soon. Back to the horrifying days of preparation of EOYs D: Time to relive the sad moments of Sec 2 ):

But on a lighter note, CCA stand down soooooooooon. More time to mug study play! :D

Oh wait. I forgot. ____________

(angry tskkk ): )

The Sad Life of A Farmer

2009-08-22T00:19:00.000-07:00

Life has been rather busy. Not much homework, thankfully, but loads and loads and piles and miles of tests.

Recent results were poop. All I need to understand is why when some people mug their hearts out but yet achieve so little, when the others spent a few hours reading through the textbook, and miraculously get A1.

Is this what everyone calls talented?

Ooh and EOYs are coming. And there's MEP Prac to look forward to!

//

I took the wrong flute home. What a way to spend the weekend ): Oh man I'm getting attached to it D:

Aha I shall name it~~! :D

>(

2009-08-11T04:40:00.000-07:00

This is plain poop.

How come don't wanna have tests during lesson time?? Cos lesson time equals SLACKING TIME?? And make us keep on staying back when others have plans on?? And we have to cancel just specially for one test?? I'll gladly take the test anytime. ANYTIME. Just not clashing with my lessons!!

I'VE BEEN SKIPPING FAR TOO MANY FLUTE LESSONS ALREADY!

Just because of one small tiny test then I keep cancelling flute lessons (and she has stopped using smilies to reply my smses)!

YAARGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

What is this man. What is this.

NDP Celebration 2009!

2009-08-07T01:46:00.000-07:00

Today was seriously the one and only NDP which I truly got "high".

Thanks to Moom and my wife and sandy!! :D :D

They came to join the band peeps (who were so-called outcasts since we were separated from our classes heheh) and Sandy came to sit with us!

Then they started singing songs.

And the music was surprisingly catchy (only for that certain period of time, I didn't notice that before O:). So my wife and moom and sandy started waving flags AND SINGING! :D :D

And for the first time in my life, I think I sang properly. Both one octave high, original, and one octave lower 8) I'm so versatile see. Heheheh! :D Aiyah if only knew how to operate my phone to put pics inside blog. And facebook /:

Happy moments must be kept properly. With happiness.

...and I've even got a limited-edition video of onion dancing! Not pole dancing, but normal dancing! Which is really really rare. You must possess true video-taping skills to be able to take down these once-in-a-lifetime, life-changing events.

//

WE FINALLY DID SOMETHING FOR (POOP) SERVICE LEARNING. I'm glad we're on the move yay! :D :D

Sundayyy

2009-08-02T00:22:00.000-07:00

Heavenly 8)

Yet, super fattening. A plate of pasta all down in...a blink of an eye? No time for digestion man.

I think I should be able to survive without 2 or 3 meals hah O:

MEP is getting irritating ): Why can't people die evenly? As in at easy dates to remember? Or or. Why must those peeps keep inventing all the new complicated techniques of writing music? D:

Oh and, gasp. The test's tomorrow D:

Out the entire evening. Gonna eat more again geeezz. No time for physics and MEP! Gahhhh ):

Inferior-ity?

2009-07-30T05:10:00.000-07:00

Wow.

You.

Crazy.

Crazy.

Amazing Grace.

"I've been playing the flute seriously for 3 years" ?!

And you're like super pro? Considering your age? And only three years? Like me?

And you're playing the piece I'm currently playing??

How is this possible.

Some people are just super talented ):

Maybe I shall just stop making myself feel inferior and ban myself from Youtube /:

Nevermind. Omg, you're my idol my friend 8)

Bio test's over. No really a mugger test. Don't think can get A1 though ): CHINESE AND SUMMARY TMRW /:

//

Zomg there's an arrangement for flute and piano for "A Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun"?! 8D

I Love Sleeping (:

2009-07-24T04:37:00.000-07:00

Please initiate. Don't wait for me to tell you what to do, then you do. I'm not even supposed to tell you what to do. How can you want to Pb others when you can't even Pb yourself?

Thanks to the MEP concert yesterday, I slept much later than usual. Not that I'm saying it wasn't worth it or anything (still, there was an un-mugged elit test this morning), but when I woke to go to school, I was practically dragging my feet to class. I finally know the feeling of sleepiness + tiredness + weird high high feeling in the head + throbbing noise near neck. It isn't nice ):

And to make up for the energy lost due to sleep, I ate much more than usual for recess ):

Band was tiring. ALMOST LOST THE STOCK TAKING LIST. Turned out that it fell into the horn's section bench.

Which is why you should start. Now.

O Level Chinese Listening!

2009-07-22T02:50:00.000-07:00

The first written O Level paper O:

Although it was only a tiny 20 marks and 10 MCQs, people were panicking during that 45 mins of lunch and strangely, only a handful of people were late to arrive in the hall.

The choices in the MCQ were rather, well, very close. so it was quite tough to choose in that few spare seconds. I just hope all goes well and I can get my A1 for listening /:

Surprisingly, they let us keep the question paper. So everyone was like frantically comparing answers after the test O: Hannah got increasingly worried heheh. And when we walked down to the third level, there was this HUGE bunch of Sec 3s crowding around holding question papers in their hands, with anxious looks on their faces. Which was rather amusing hahahah.

NO CANNOT LAUGH. Later my results affected.

Next: CHEMISTRY TEST ON QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS.

Thank goodness I don't take elect-geog. Mugging would be my past time O:

Zebrafish 3-Day Workshop! (:

2009-07-17T00:44:00.000-07:00

...was held at Biopolis One North! :D

It was overall quite fun and I certainly learnt something over the past few days. I learnt that zebrafish embryos are so cute and tiny! Hahaha! :D

Biopolis is like this nice cute quaint little village with many many restaurants and food courts. Hahhaha that's why zhangdi could survive over the last three days! :D Oh and there are like 5 main office buildings (i think) surrounding the area. So during lunch break we could "wander" around the place searching for eat-able eateries! :D

She ate my entire muesli bar. I didn't tempt her. She just peeped into my bag when I was taking out my notes. And prolly she also heard the rustling sounds of my pao. I didn't eat breakfast she still give me that starving look. Tsktsk.

Imagine if we still went for that exchange trip O:

Oh the horror! :D

Poop in the Farm

2009-07-13T03:35:00.000-07:00

~~Darn it. Doesn't anyone bother to read the stuff they gave us?~~

Poopies I don't know why I'm starting to become so conscious. It's just normal what, like no big deal. But that small voice in my head keeps telling me otherwise.

I DON'T WANNA GET. DON'T WANNA.

Personal thoughts, personal thoughts. I can't keep them inside my poopy brain forever. English stinks. Perhaps it's cos of the person who's doing the papers and getting back poop results.

POOP ! DARNIT.

Chinese O Level Oral Day!

2009-07-10T02:47:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry if the following post sounds a little qian bian or something. But I'm just really really relieved and happy (:

The second lump in my throat has finally disappeared. The second climax of my life is officially history.

O Level Chinese Oral is finally OVER.

I feel so so blessed. Since I practiced the question for Thursday before, I was quite angry with myself cos my index number just had to be one of the last few ones.

BUT

Today's topic was really really unexpected. In a good way (: I kinda screwed my reading part, but who cares man. It's officially over. I know I tried my best in there, and I'm kinda proud of it tooo (:

We went to Sumo House after oral for lunch at about 3pm. Quite fun! And yummy! :D

I still can't believe it hahaha. Now my mum can't pester me to speak chinese. Or watch chinese news. Or listen to chinese songs. Or scold me in chinese (as if I don't understand) hahahah.

...yay yay yay! :D :D

I have received my maths test results. Both A and E. E was expected. But

...I nearly fainted when I saw A.

It must be Hannah. She's the lucky moom you need !

(oh my that sentence sounds so weird O: heheheheh :D)

Panic! at the Farmhouse

2009-07-08T05:55:00.000-07:00

Urgh maths makes me go crazy man.

I wanna study, but at the same time I wanna slack.

See lah, what happened just now. Wanted to take a short rest of 15 mins then when I woke up, my mother was staring at me in the face. One hour had passed by.

And this is the second time already.

Sometimes I wonder how I could cope last term. Now, with the current CCA stand down, I actually have problems staying awake at home.

Oh I know why.

Must be my bed. So attractive.

//

Urgh gosh. I feel so disgusted with myself. Can't even say one proper chinese sentence with the correct yin and pronunciation. And some more the oral topics ever since Day 1 has been becoming more and more...bian tai. As Su Long would say :D

It's on Friday. The day after tomorrow.

"Anticipate the stress, the pressure, the tension in the air. Get ready for the (second) climax of your life!"

OH PLEASE GIVE ME SOMETHING ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTTTTTTTTTTT. I'm such a green kiddo man .

:(

I mean, who in the world is interested in plastic surgery?

Okay don't answer that question.

Pizza!

2009-07-07T01:38:00.000-07:00

Pizza making on Monday! :D

First time actually. Seeing everyone grab all the ingredients so quickly (esp someone) and dump it, in a blink of an eye, on their piece of dough was rather fascinating. I never thought their coordination skills were so pro! Hahahah! :D Also, it was my first time eating such a huge (and fat) pizza was so much cheese on top (thank you wen en :D).

Someone mentioned that cheese could bubble when it was hot. I dunno. Sounds quite cute actually. I was checking the oven then someone behind was saying something like "oooooohhh look! the cheese is bubbling...!" Hahahhah! :D I got this strange feeling it's Wen En. Hahhaah :D

Then we watched movies for 4 hours continuosly.

Four hours.

I think I broke a record lah. So long leh! My eyes were nearly popping hahahhah.

But the best thing was that thinking we were having so much fun, not in school. When we could have been having MEP extra lessons(gasp) or something, at that period of time when we were eating pizza and totally relaxing. Fun fun fun! :D

Recent ~~worries~~ updates:

CHINESE O LEVEL ORAL EXAMINATIONNN.

I seriously think I'm gonna lose my appetite on that day. I hope hope hope they test me on the stuff I'm super familiar with!! /: Omg lah. Imagine if they did. My eyes would just like pop out and I would give this super wide (creepy) grin and my eyebrows would go up up up and I'll be like spewing many good points out of my mouth in chinese!

Bingo baby!

Yeah I must think positive (gazes into the future dreamily).

First Day of Term 3!

2009-06-29T03:32:00.000-07:00

Finally school's started! :D

No homework on the first day though, not bad (: But I hope this isn't the only day that we're gonna have this privilage O: Term 3's gonna be one hectic term I heard.../:

Many many updates.

1) US trip has been cancelled! ): Due to H1N1. I think we're like the last school informed. At the last minute! And when poor onion went all the way to apply and paid 100 over bucks! D: Thank goodness I didn't buy the blouse and skirt though. Then I'll never ever get to wear it in my entire life and it'll be stuck in the cupboard looking all lonely ):

2) Ting xie shall be put on either Thursday or Friday (yesssss.)

3) Timetable has been changed. Free period not on Wednesdays anymore ): No more early orange bowl ): But possible "longer" recess on Thursday. I hopeee >.<

AYG performance was okay. A teeeeeensy weeeeensy little pathetic though. Cos due to H1N1 again, mass gatherings are supposedly best to be avoided and thus only a handful of the school came down (counsellors, house comm peeps, random people).

Next Monday no school! Thanks a truckload to Youth Day! I'm so glad I'm not old. And wrinkly. There's no holiday that's called "Oldies Day" right. (oh yeah got grandparents day O:)

No school next monday = No MEP! No Social Studies! No Bio! No YEEEEENGLISH!

Whoohoo! :D

Random dom dum dom!

2009-06-26T23:54:00.001-07:00

Holidays are so boring /:

Updates:

CCA Stand down next week (more studying time :D/D:)
CHINESE O LEVEL CONFIRM CONFIRM OFFICIALLY FINAL ORAL EXAM

Oh man. I think I'm gonna lose my appetite on the day itself. (*hears Sandy say: "Ning ah, must try to RELAX! Like me! Stress so much for whaaat.")

Hehehheh.

Well at least there's CCA stand down, so I've got more time to study /:

Monday AYG performance! O: How exciting (:

Oh geez. Two more full weeks of proper school till the US trip itself. WHAT ABOUT MY LESSONS MAN. Who cares about H1N1 ):

365 cases and rising. Some people say the airport's considered safer now since community spread has more risk.

My sister dreamt she was an M & M O:

Long long ago

2009-06-25T03:11:00.000-07:00

It's been ages since I've blogged. Cos holidays were rather boring I guess hahahah (: Until the recent week that is.

Band prac on tues and thurs (today). We're performing for the AYG thingo on Monday! O: First day of school! O: And I think the notice was given out quite recently, and the songs weren't familiar to most people. So in other words, frankly speaking, we aren't that ready. But what to do. We must try our best man! AYG's a big event yo! Hahahah :D

Back to school in THREE DAYS. Unfortunately, H1N1 didn't "help" us as much as I thought, and no extended hols for us ): But on the up side, no possible threatening of cancellation of our Sep holidays! :D

Ahhh I still haven't finish hol homework yet. Still looking at that pile. I think it shrinked a little. Hahahah that's good :D

SPARTANS AND SOUSA! (oh man back to the old and innocent days)

:D

Gasp.

I'm gonna have to learn survival skills while I'm here. At home. In Singapore. Safe. Otherwise I may have to eat grass while I'm there O:

Heheheheh :D

Bangkok! (:

2009-06-05T05:27:00.000-07:00

Finally, a proper break. Going away from this Saturday to the 16th. Don't sms or call me okay hahah. Unless you wanna pay overseas calls bills O: Hahahhah :D ~~Oh man-y, swine flu-y D:~~

Oh man gonna miss my flutey for one week plus plus! ): And while I'm doing so, zhang's so gonna like practice till her neighbours go call police! D: Oh man oh man. I don't wanna let Singapura down! ):

Ooh I know!

Maybe I should consider bringing my flute there heheheh P: (and make all the dogs howl and the Thais all curse me in thai hahahah :D)

O-kla-ho-ma...OKAAAAYYYYYY!! :D

MEP Camp was fun :D Real fun man ho ho ho! If I had the chance, I would choose to go again! And Oklahoma all day long~~! :D

BOOOOM!

2009-06-04T03:30:00.000-07:00

Didn't go for band today, cos of MEP Camp.

I dunno, but everytime I go into TKGS, I feel that familiar sense of ____. Kinda like feeling inferior and stuff hahah. But I guess that's quite acceptable cos they really play very well and we ought to learn from them. Loads /:

MEP Camp was rather fun (: The first thing I learnt was actually the fact that I've been staying too much within my comfort zone. I never had much chance of mixing with the other peeps from other schools. Well, today was certainly a "mind-opening" experience hahahah. ~~(to think that those peeps were not all over their studies O:)~~ ...and that totally changed the way I saw them too hahaha (:

We gotta present tomorrow O: With us kicking our feet high in the air, and (supposedly) swishing our long, puffed-up skirts, it sure is gonna be such an entertainment O: The singing part should be interesting though :D

Oh and DID I MENTION that I "kiap-ed" my finger between the doors when I closed them a little too hard and fast. Well maybe that's cos my finger was slow /: And now there's a big weird blister kinda thing that's purplish O:

Urgh so disgusting till I feel like laughing hahaha :D

POP Photos! (:

2009-05-31T04:54:00.000-07:00

POP celebration started out with Ann being...well, herself as usual.

Before the actually ceremony. Note: She was the only section leader who carried her POP stuff around, while walking along the corridor. Hehehheh :D Omg I'm gonna miss the silly stuffs you do during Band prac! ):

After noms, section picture with sec ones! :D...before setting off to Plaza Sing where we met Joy and Valery! :D After eating at Pastamania, we went Carrefour to buy food for the supposed picnic the next day!

Zomg the travellator is so cool manzz. Hehehheh :D

Then the hotel! :D

(at the entrance)

The next day we went to Vivo City! And since it started raining, we changed plans and watched a movie instead! :D

All in all, we had FUN (despite the cancellation of sentosa, yes we initially planned to go there ann, you win you win :D)!And I'm sure Ann had truckloads worth too! :D Hahahah we'll certainly miss you (and your weirdness :D)! Thank you for all the things you've done for us and the flute section! We'll never forget you, and I hope you won't forget us (or James) too! :D

Someone got high after seeing so many bags of chips along the travellator. Poor, deprived child.

Heheheh :D

2009-05-31T00:14:00.001-07:00

POP

2009-05-30T03:14:00.000-07:00

I'm glad to say that the POP celebration was a success. Everything went smoothly, despite the rain on Saturday, but that didn't affect Ann's mood! :D

PHOTOS COMING VERY SOON ! :D

I'm so tired now. I just wanna sleeeeeeeeep ):

The more you say I can't, the more I think I can. Thank you (and this ain't no sacarstic comment, i'm serious)

Jubilate VI (:

2009-05-22T20:03:00.000-07:00

Jubilate VI was wonderful-awesome-fantastically wow.

I didn't screw up my part! :D

...which gave me such a powerful boost (!) in morale! :D Especially since these days I've been feeling rather sad.

Yay! :D

Thank you all of you who gave me such pretty flowers! :D Especially the ones with the small tubes of water at the end! Hahahah it must have been real ex /: And special thanks to choo! Who made it in the end! :D I still can't believe you came though. You've been hearing the same songs over and over again, but yet you still willing paid that $30 and came to support us! Yay thank you hahah! :D

Joy came! And Valery! They looked the same. Nothing changed much hahah. See sum, people go JC never change as much as you did hahah (:

VJ Concert tonight. Time to feel inferior again. Hahha oh man I'm getting so sad-dish and pessimistic again! The farmer needs to sign up for meditation classes. Just like LeTian omg. Hahaha :D

NAPFA & Chinese (Mock) Oral

2009-05-20T02:11:00.000-07:00

NAPFA;

I didn't know my timing. After those 6 horrendous rounds, I just totally blanked out. My head was throbbing incessantly and I had to sit down. Being 15th ain't a good thing, I think. How in the world can shifu make wonders with maths, and yet at the same time, finish first for the six rounds? Some things in life aren't fair /:

Chinese MOCK Oral;

All I can say is, thank goodness there's a "MOCK" in front of "Oral".

Sniffies ):

Auditions

2009-05-18T03:50:00.000-07:00

Tsktsk.

All I can say is,

Do I really think I've could've performed so well, well enough to hit my expectations? Especially since my expectations (I just realised), are a tad too unrealistic.

So, I'm quite glad and satisfied in a way. The "examiners" were SO much more friendly than the MEP orchestra ones. They actually laughed and joked with one another O: But the bad thing is, one of them was a flute player /:

Nevermind.

I shall stop being negative.

~~(yay now I can finally strike 2 things off my worry list! yes i have one hahaha :D)~~

I feel lumpy ):

2009-05-17T00:16:00.000-07:00

VJ Strings concert last night! (:

Hahaha HongLan and James were so surprised to see me. Yeah you guys better be touched! I had band camp in the morning and no time to sleep enough leh! Hhahaah :D

The concert was so cool lah. They played stuff like Pirates, Phantom of the Opera and some Tom and Jerry song that sounded so familiar. And some representatives from the VJ Band joined the VJ Strings to play as one orchestra! The brasses really created the grand, majestic effect. Especially for Pirates and the Phantom of the Opera! :D :D

//

TOMORROW:

AUDITIONS.

Next week: Social Studies Project, Social Studies Common Test, Chinese O Level Oral Prelims

On the up side, there's Jubilate! and Majestia concert.

Why does school seem to like rush the last few moments before Term 2 ends? D:

//

The lump in my throat has returned.

And will perhaps decide to stay after all.

Band Camp 2009!

2009-05-15T22:16:00.000-07:00

...was organised by the sec three squad this year! :D

It was overall quite okay despite some minor problems (refers to night games and food and noise level) yay!

Nominations
I could've done so much better (with reference to my playing) /: Ann gave me Jericho. I thought she would give me the solo part to play since Joy did during her noms, but she didn't! And in the end, she tested me on "Victory"! And caught me off-guard. Hahaha :D Sight-reading was harder than I expected. I thought you would give me chorale! ): Hahahah. It was in D major, which isn't what we usually play ): The drills and the question part was surprisingly not that hard too. Except that the nervous enzymes were all at their optimum temperature at that time. (Oh man oh man bio! I'm turning into a nerddd, just like what amanda prophesized!

Sandy was right though. Being first has its advantages. The moment I started climbing up the right staircase, I felt as if an immense load was taken off my shoulder. And then I started to radiate happiness.

Heheheh :D

OHOHOH! I almost forgot!

The flutes section became re-united yesterday night! :D

Everybody turned up in the end! Including sum! And sam! And choo! Hahaha! :D We took many many pictures and hugged many many times goodbye. Awww I wanna see you guys again! Next friday! Can't wait for Jubilate mannnn! :D :D

Night Games
...was rather okay. Except that I thought that we weren't scary enough hahaah. We need to be scarier next time! :D My station was so scary though. The toilet was full of gigantic flies that play dead, then suddenly fly towards you! And not to forget...the lizards!! Lizards the length of your thumb to your last finger! When stretched to its max! O:

Day Games
Was better than night games (according to some people). Much better communication and no so many traffic jams occured. Heehee charades was ~~quite~~ very fun. ESPECIALLY THE PART WHEN A CERTAIN SOME ONE HAD TO DANCE FOR US. It was rather *cough*entertaining*cough* :D :D I'm so sorry that Sandy felt so harrassed after that! Go for counselling! It'll helps loads! :D :D

All in all, it was a great and rather enriching camp. Gave us a taste of what it's like when the seniors are not in charge /:

TWO MORE WEEKS TO POP. Oh man. We'll miss you sooo much Ann! ):

Killer Bio Test

2009-05-14T04:01:00.000-07:00

I feel so

...cheated.

I mean how can you not test the functions of carbohydrates and water and proteins and the components of protoplasm etc etc! I mugged so hard leh and when I finally managed to memorise and remember it, you test me on "less mug, more understanding" type of questions! ): Aiyah I feel so cheated mann ): Tsktsk. Even zhangdi came out smiling leh. SMILING. Not emoing (like what she usually spends doing heh :D). Oh wait, you're gonna see this post. Hahaha I don't really mind (:

OH

I almost forgot.

NOMSARETOMORROWANDTHEFARMERISFIRSTTOGO !

(try say it in one breath, it's not that hard cos it's been constantly repeated in my head till it becomes a blurry mess /:)

That's just so much better than an alarm clock man.

Ohgoshies how! How how how how how. Aiyah somemore dinner just before noms! Surely no appetite. Aiyah if only I swap with Sandy hahahah. Like who wants to go first man (besides you hahaha)! :D

//

However, on the other hand (wow discussive essay), plane geometry test not graded and on top of that, it will be OPEN BOOK! Whoohoo! Yay! :D

//

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh band camp band camp noms noms noms! ):

Busy busy busy

2009-05-12T04:39:00.000-07:00

Flute's a portable instru. No wonder I'm supposed to go /: Aiyah zhang if only saxophones were as small (and cute) as flutes! Hahhaha but never in a thousand years mann, especially the cute part. Hahahha! :D

T___ was being irritating as usual.

Picture this:

Choir singing so awesome-ly, perfectly and prettily (hahah), and all the nice words that end with ____ly. Everyone walking in the correct order (i think), trying to listen to the choir's wonderful superb voices...then

"STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!" (in a high-pitched, a little nasal voice)

Everyone stops and turns around, to find T____ practically shouting into the mike and frowning, oh so deeply.

Like D:

Okay nvm. I shall stop complaining about her. There're much much more important things to worry about for example

BIO TEST.

PLANE GEOMETRY TEST (oh yes. they've decided to let us take it D:)

SOCIAL STUDIES GRADED ASS. aka

SS (pronounced as "ASS ASS") GRADED ASS

Goodness me I'm going crazy. So little timeeee! ):

Hooohooohooo

2009-05-11T04:55:00.000-07:00

This is just so dumb.

Here I am trying so hard to stuff myself with gallons and gallons of water.

And you two keep taking turns to get sick.

Why your immunity so low! Not enough antibodies ah!

That reminds me.

Here are some songs for you to pass time.

BIO KOMAMA!
(something something here i forgot P:)
Shout it out! (BIO!)
Shout it out! (BIO!) Ohhhhhhhhh...BIO!

Mug bio mug mug
Cram bio cram cram
Die bio die die dieeeeeeee! (hold as long as you can. band peeps can use this as practice for long notes)

Heheheh :D

Desperately trying to cram bio into my head now. There's just no time urgh.

3 Faith we're so hot we burn the rest all chao-ta!

2009-05-08T21:54:00.000-07:00

Heehee being random :D

But still, I love THREE FAITH! :D

I just realised I'm super super sunburnt. Aiyah, I should've applied more sunblock. Tsktsk. Now I look like some half barbequed thing with a red nose ): Or prolly a bad cookie.

I've got three shades of colour now lah! O:

Oh oh oh and NAPFA's this coming week.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

....

Oh man. I just realised I've got something major on each week, starting from next week /:

Next week: Bio test which requires hardcore mugging & BAND CAMP = Noms D:

Following week: The audition thingo & CHINESE O LEVEL ORAL PRELIMs & Jubilate!

Following following week: POP! ):

Oh no no no. Why does time have to pass so fast? ): I'll miss you Ann Tan-nie! ):

....

She's got a point. Who in the world who wanna risk their lives to go to US now, just cos of something prestigious?? I've gotta learn how to take it easy man. Breathe.

Sec 3 Leadership Camp!

2009-05-08T00:36:00.000-07:00

…was held at the MOE Jalan Bahtera campsite this time. Thank goodness not St Johns Island, although that would mean getting more edible food and more “rough-it-out”-ness :D Camp was still awesome though.

Unlike St Johns Island peeps, we got dry rafting (instead of kayaking) and food portions the size of your fist (instead of packed food). But that’s okay, cos both the seniors and us got to get bitten by crazed mosquitos, see lizards all over walls, floors and ceilings, and weird creepy-crawlies that can fly, jump, hop and buzz or whatever they do, at the same time O:

We got split in halves, first half of the class was called "Stockholm" and we were called "Berlin". Somewhere in Germany I think hahah. But so sad lah, we couldn’t sleep in the same hut ):

Oh the hut.

It was sad. Oh it was sad.

Heh :D

I know I may sound a little spoilt saying this. But I have to say it anyway. THE HUT WAS FRIGGIN’ HOT. SWELTERING HOT. And yet they told us to bring a sweater, just in case, cos “the night can get really cold”. What sarcasm. Oh wait. It’s cos prolly they never slept in our huts before. Their air-cons in the staff rooms were prolly adjusted to 10 degrees D: But the funny thing is, once we wake up in the morning at 6am, the weather was so cooling.

Rope challenge was the usual. Did it in P5 before so I thought there wasn’t anything that special hahah. BUT. I had to climb sideways on some rock wall thing hanging in the air and one of the rocks were lose. And that happened to be my first step ): Thank goodness I made it alive! O:

Ahhh my nose and cheeks are sunburnt ): It's red eew. And my eyelids look weird. And for some reason, Ying Tong said hers do too O:

All in all, it was a rather memorable and wonderful camp. Thank you to all of you guys who made it such a success yay! :D

3 Faith For The Win~! :D

Labour Day!

2009-05-01T03:19:00.000-07:00

Went out with Sandy to watch 17 Again today.

She said it was a nice show. I thought it was ~~(quite disturbing)~~ okay. Heh :D

That girl in the show looks exactly like the girl who acted in the educational show on Hallmark. What's the name. Oh "She's Too Young", or "She's Very Young" or something like that I forgot hahaha. Seriously lah.

Oh I forgot to mention

I'M FIRST FOR NOMS.

Seriously, how lucky can I get O:

Ann you better not laugh at me okay.

Ahhhhh he's super shuai! O: Omg I can't believe I'm saying this hahah :D He looks so much better now lor.

Hope?

2009-04-30T08:11:00.000-07:00

I shall try to stay positive. I'll shall just try my best to do well and make us proud. I DON'T CARE WHETHER I'M AIRY OR NOT. Cos I can't change anything in two weeks and making myself miserable isn't gonna help me either.

(i'm doing this thanks to zhang (: )

//

Ruei Ern is so super funnily cute. Or maybe she's "just retarded" as Danica says. Hahaha :D I'm trying so hard to make myself high these few days. Quite successful. Though I never thought I had to go through this emo period. I thought the farmer didn't have emo times! But I was wrong ): How sad hahah.

House meeting was boring. Though Ann said that Red House would prolly win again this time due to our newly-elected house captain, who happened to be in her class. (Yeah all the leaders are in your class lah, happy? :D)

Oh and physics test was unbearably horrid. Aha, finally the first probable E8 I'm gonna have in that clean report book of mine /: Oh wells.

//

Thanks for the wonderful stress-release flour bag thingo you gave me Amanda! :D ~~(Dmn good time for it /:)~~

Recession

2009-04-28T04:03:00.000-07:00

RESULTS

...are getting worse.

FLUTE/ BAND

... I have absolutely nothing to say.

EXPECTATIONS

... (quotes "what damnation, what a fool i was!" from some weird choir song thing, dunno exact words)

//

I just don't know what's the matter with me.

Shall the farmer just quit working altogether?

Emo-ness Strikes the Farmer (hard)

2009-04-27T04:47:00.000-07:00

Results have been

...demoralising.

Flute has been

...disappointing.

Expectations are

...increasing.

In other words, life is just getting more

...miserable(ing?)

//

This is just torture. I'm glad that I have a wonderful kind nice superb fantastic teacher who knows what she's doing.

Stress

2009-04-24T19:11:00.000-07:00

Woah I still can't believe zhang and I are gonna go for it O: I hope I won't let you down! ):

We had PT yesterday. Punishment hasn't been exercised for a very long time. Not that I miss it or anything. But some people just have to be reminded that there are consequences for all of your "touching-other-people's-intru" or "dropping-stands-for-a-million-times" acts. I told ya that one day you'll regret it /: And yesterday was the day.

It was super unbearably hot. My mum said it was 34 degrees out there. We had to stand under the sun for so long while the WOs, QM etc checked our attire. Thank goodness for the sunblock. Otherwise soooo many freckles would've popped up on my face and it will turn red and raw then when I get home, my mum would just kill me. Ann and I left early for piano lessons. I think we have to do some make-up or sth /: I didn't know I had my own post ! D: Punishment's like triple for me or something! ):

//

POP is stressing me out. Ann you better be grateful for all the stress I've been going through lately. All the other sections have already planned and booked their respectively thingos and we haven't! How come last year's POP went so smoothly. I'm jealous. Oh wait. Cos all the good planning people went away and left me alone. Hhahah oh thanks Jiahui for trying to help me last night! Although you were busy with your project...but still, thanks alot! :D

...

OMG AMERICAN EXPRESS CARD GOT DISCOUNT!! :D

BINGO BABY!

Happy Day! :D

2009-04-21T05:54:00.001-07:00

At first I woke up with a double headache, resulting from the one I had the night before.

Thanks to my lovely mum who forced me to wake up earlier just to help my sister carry all her stuff so she can use both hands to carry her cello.

Nevermind I shan't sound spoilt, cos I'm not (i hope /:)

The marvellous headache lasted all the way from morning assembly to the last period. I couldn't concentrate and hence had to use SuLong's lesson to re-energise :D I tried to do so too during physics, but his voice was so booming-ly loud that I couldn't help but stay awake D: How sad. I remained constantly pssed throughout the day.

Then after lunch,

Samantha the Awesome One VISITED! :D

(you better be grateful. i called you the "awesome one" :D)

Cos the moment I saw her I was sooo happy. Cos she brought some flute quartets for us to playy! :D So fun! But I couldn't sight read fast enough and we ended up trying to remember "Smooth Flutes" and teaching one another. It was full of syncopations and high notes and flats and sharps. Only a pro could read quick enough (refers to you).

Then after 1 hour or so of combine (and playing pirates :D), I realised that my headache was G O N E ! Hahahah should be because of her. So nice! So cute! So happy! Cos it's been a while since you last visited ):

Come again okay! Next time I remember to bring "Smooth Flutes" then you can show off your wonderful vibrato, double tongue and nice tone to me! :D (just admit it. you're really pro :D)

:D

2009-04-20T03:00:00.000-07:00

Thank you everyone who wished me "Happy Birthday" and those who made my birthday so enjoyable! :D

Thank you Cabrini, Mabel, Fong Thing, May Shuen, Wen En, Sandy, Amanda and Gen for giving me such nice pressies! :D

Especially the fabulous flutes section! Thank you for taking the time off to buy that orange bear (even though it gives me bad memories) which looks awfully similar to the one Yuqing has! But I shall be grateful. Thank you nice peeps! Flutes are the best! :D

//

MEP lesson was fabulous today. We punctually went for lessons at 2.30pm, but yet after 1.5 hours, she did not come. That was rather irritating, but in the end she came at about 4pm and said that she could let us off at 4.30pm after one listening extract! Imagine the joy (almost comparable to getting GWH. hahah kidding :D).

But unfortunately, being tham as usual, she dragged for another half hour and then told us to do the worksheet while she taught the other class (since mr cher wasn't here). The moment she left, we packed our bags and left. Hahaha :D

//

As you can see from the recent tag, conducting's gonna be this Friday. And guess what. A certain farmer is gonna be the first to conduct since flutes section is first and I am before Naomi on the attendance list. Yesssss man.

Ann Tan you better not laugh at me on Friday /:

//

And omg.

CHOIR GOT GOLD WITH HONOURS!!! :D :D :D

Congrats you guys! :D

I am Fifteen!

2009-04-17T20:57:00.000-07:00

The Farmer has officially turned fifteen !

yay farmer ningo! hahaha! :D

After the torturous badminton training thing which made me have muscle aches all over, we went to Vivo City to have a birthday dinner at Marche! :D

Some stuff happened on the way as we drove all the way from one side of the island to the other. My dad purposely went there 4 hours before. Ran some errands, then stood in line way before we arrived, Since they didn't allow reservations and half of the people you wanna chope for must be present D:

Then my mum lost her way to Vivo City.

Twice.

Well the point is that I'm really grateful towards my lovely mum and dad cos amazingly, my dad did not complain one bit and actually acted quite normal. Which wasn't normal at all. Hahah :D And my mum...well, I'm just glad everything turned out alright. Despite the fact that when she lost her way, she kept complaining that "dmn the roadworks! why so late at night still do road! what in the world is the government doing?!" and "stpid trucks why so big block my view!" (and ironically, after she said that, another truck drove past her, and attempted to go in front of her) heheh :D

Mummy, daddy I love youu! :D

Band Camp's coming soon. Which means nominations are coming soon. Which means POP is coming soon. Which means Ann is passing out soon. Which means the last concert together with her is coming soon. Which means

STRESSSSSSS.

ZEN ME BAN AHHHH!

(Tuesday)

2009-04-13T03:33:00.000-07:00

First band prac since SYF.

(To think that it's just only two weeks later)

We had a so-called celebration cum party cum thank-you-ms-s__-and-mr-o__ thingy. Quite fun hahaah. They kept teasing each other eew gosh D:

First band prac, first combine since two weeks ago.

I have concluded

that

my

tone

is

SUPER

SUPER

BAD

.

):

Solo was the most terrible of all. Especially Part T. No horns to back up first bar. Hence the whole band could hear my horrible raw and airy tone. Cos all the SLs had to go help Sec Ones, so no soloists were present (except me D:)

That reminds me. Flutes now have 3 juniors instead of 4. As you probably can infer, it was Ms S__'s first official prac with them. She tested (tortured) them one by one. Ann told me that one of our present juniors was shaking D: poor thing ):

Tomorrow another prac again! She better not combine with us. I don't wanna die...! D: (Cos of playing "Limbo Rock" for more than 10 times with all the repeats, and also cos of ningo's tone ): )

Good Friday 2009

2009-04-10T03:33:00.000-07:00

Today was not a Good Friday, today was an Awesome Friday!

Hahaha :D

Went out with Sandy, Apple and Worm to Orchard. Then walked to Far East. Then bus-ed to Plaza Sing. Supposed to watch movie. But the early timings were all SOLD OUT D: Only 7 onwards.

So we walked and walked and walked and walked.

(until i couldn't feel my toes)

AND I BOUGHT MY FIRST EVER BAG!

Hahahah I know I'm noob but my very first bag without my mum next to me! :D

Hahahaha :D

Quotes Sandy "I feel very honoured to be able to witness this memorable event"

:D :D

Certificate!

2009-04-06T03:52:00.000-07:00

Omg finally.

Why does the postman take so long to deliver just one letter to my house??

Yo brother, you're 3 days late man.

I CAN FINALLY BREATHE!

Online results do not lie after all! Lucky never cheat my feelings. Otherwise I'll just have to sue ABRSM. Hahaha kidding :D

~~...actually, not kidding.~~

Ahhhhh finally. I have to admit the scores on the result slip were the highest of scores I've ever seen before. He's so lenient man. Love ya Michael Bailey! Hahaha :D

I guess I underestimated my brilliance that day or something. He did not write most of the mistakes I thought I made. Instead, he focused mainly on the nice-ness and complete-ness of the piece. Which thankfully, I did not stumble, and instead looked confident and pretended that I played everything correctly (although deep down inside...CHAOS MAN!)

Cos he was a vocalist. Not a wind intru player or strings, but voice. Made my confidence go higher hahaha.

I thought I screwed C. But aced it with flying colours man D:

...

I'M GONNA LAMINATE THE CERT BIG BIG! :D :D :D

(This post is mainly to remind me of some happy times in Sec 3. No need to read all the boring details (: )

//

Woah. I don't care what you other people say. But I think we really deserve a Gold with Honours. Jericho FTW! Hahahah :D

SNSB BRAVO! :D

//

Ting xie has been postponed to NEXT WEDNESDAY!! Xie tian xie di and the underground chong-s etc. Xie xie xie! :D :D

Science Center 2009

2009-04-04T06:27:00.000-07:00

I have decided that the previous post has been left there for long enough.

Yes, I was resisting the urge to post these few days, although there's simply nothing to do since there's no CCA. Just because I still can't get over the fact that SNSB rocks so much. Hahaha :D

Science Center today!

After the boring lesson on DNA (yes DNA again D:), Sandy, Wen En, Fong Thing, Pei Yun and I walked around the Science Center.

That was when I discovered the fun camwhoring could bring!

Took many many many pictures. Sooo fun lah. I mean, now I know why tourists love the Science Center. So many posters and nice background for us to take pictures in! :D I just loove the shadow one. Ahhh if only I could load it in my com. I can't cos I'm lazy. And I don't know how although Hannah already sent me an sms.

Morning assembly tmrw ON the track! O: Like omg lah. The school really loves good results. Mrs Goh/ Chan specially invited us to perform tomorrow's assembly on the track instead of some random corner of the school. Imagine what will happen if we got Silver or Bronze or COP (gasp) for SYF D:

Gold with Honours. Not that I'm not humble or anything. But it's gonna be a long time before this wonderful feeling of accomplishment wears off (:

SNSB Bravo! :D

(looks like i'm ending every post with this sentence O:)

ISO paper sizes urgh. Why in the world would people be so interested in paper! D: Oh yeah. Cos I've got a paper house.

WE DID IT ! :D :D

2009-03-31T01:21:00.000-07:00

Oh-em-geeee !

"Band No. 19 CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School"

"GOLD"

Screams! Shouts! Happiness! Joy! Fireworks!

Then amidst the screaming, unfortunately, this part of the results wasn't so obvious. Which was quite a pity. But who cares man?? :D

''...WITH HONOURS"

That did it. I teared a little. But that couldn't express the amount of happiness and satisfaction I felt at that moment. Like how in the world could we ever get Gold With Honours?? I thought only that existed in our dreams O:

We wanted Gold. We were so desperate to get it (okay, only me). But we got an additional "honours" to spice it up!

Hahaha my description sounds weird. But it doesn't matter :D

All our hard work did not go to waste after all! :D :D :D

That's the best part.

No actually. The part when we finished Overture No. 1, there was actually a REBOUND. Yes, a rebound. Which made me smile. Hahahha seriously :D I think Jericho was much better than the day of the public concert.

Oh oh oh there's another best part! :D

FLUTES WERE IN TUNE!

YEAH MANNNNNNN!!! :D

When Ms Sia (I dunno why so random), suddenly asked only flutes section to tune alone, our Bb sounded as if only one person played!! :D :D But definitely at a louder volume lah hahahha yay! :D

After today's experiences, I have finally come to these conclusions:

1) I HEART SNSB!
2) I HEART FLUTES SECTION!
3) Waking up at 4.45am makes eye blacks go darker and much more prominent (heh, true what! :D)

~I love band I love band I love band !~

Th greens, whites, and dark blues totally made history today! Our first Gold with Honours in a thousand silver centuries! Yeah!

SNSB BRAVOOOOO!! :D :D

Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow

2009-03-30T03:32:00.001-07:00

...tomorrow!

Please please please please please please please please please let us get a GOLD!

I dunno why (okay maybe I do) I've become sooooooo airy!! I'm like just gonna screw up the entire piece! D: D: D:

I think I'm even more nervous compared to the day I met Michael Bailey.

I'm such a slacker man! Dumb lips why so flabby! Like Maria! Omg how how how how! Tmrw morning! If today I'm bad, tmrw I'll just be worse cos like IT'S IN THE MORNING!! D: D: D:

Super stressed. And panicky. And nervous. And angry at myself.

WHY NOW THEN LIKE THAT??

The concert was okay! Now it's time for the actual thing and dear lips you fail me?! How how how how how omg.

ZE ME BAN AHHHHHHHHHH!

Frowning causes wrinkles. I think after tmrw I'll look like an old woman.

GIVE US THAT GOLDDDDDD, the farmer is desperate !

Help! ):

2009-03-28T23:55:00.000-07:00

Extra band prac tmrw.

Thanks to SYF, we're skipping MEP lessons (:

I just realised I've got loads of projects. Danica was and will always be right. Until O levels are over, that is. Which means I have a tough life ahead.

//

It's in friggin' two days time D:

Possibly the Second Climax of My Life D:

2009-03-28T02:07:00.000-07:00

How sad.

We just had our last morning prac till the actual day itself.

I must work on my tone and long notesss. Urgh it's so bldy difficult to hold so long when your diaphragm hasn't even warmed up yet. How come now then I notice and why now then I get feedback.

Morning prac = Embouchure and diaphragm not properly warmed up yet
NAPFA Mock Test ytd = MUSCLE CRAMPS TO THE MAX

Only one more prac and two days awayyyy.

Time flies when you're having soooo much fun.

D:

Solo solo solo ! ):

I'm Haaaaaaaaaaaappppppppyyyy! :D

2009-03-27T03:05:00.000-07:00

Yes,

THY FARMER HAS DONE IT!

I expected Merit,

BUT I DID EVEN BETTERRRRR!

Yay Ningo! :D :D :D

This is such a surprise. Sandy went to the library today to check for me (thankies! :D) while I was having elit (suspense and tension) test. I was too nervous and excited to wait so I asked her to help me. Hahhahh YESSSSSSS I still can't get over it. I chionged all the way for the last two weeks. And even on the final week before the exam, I still couldn't get my scales memorised properly! O:

There's finally proof that miracles do exist! :D

//

I hope a miracle too, will happen next Tuesday (:

5 more days, 3 more pracs

2009-03-26T03:52:00.000-07:00

I dunno if we really do sound better these days, cos her mood seems to be improving after every recent band prac /:

SYF in 5 more days. There's only tmrw's prac, Saturday's and Monday's (yesss no MEP! :D).

I hope we can be the butterfly everyone is hoping we'll be on the day itself! (:

So there's a chance we'll be able to get Gold after all .

:D

Go SNSB!

2009-03-25T01:33:00.000-07:00

OHMYGOODNESS

BLISTERINGBARNACLES

MOTHEROFPEARL !

She's coming to watch us for SYF next Tuesday !

Scream.

Six More Days

2009-03-24T05:45:00.000-07:00

Sum visited today (:

Many people commented on the obvious change(s?) in (insert opinion here).

Hahahah potato, you have indeed changed loads! :D

Band was weird (again) today. She said I was "horrible" again. Please lah, I was so airy /: The photo-taking was also weird. So many people came to take photos. I think like the entire Infocomm Club came down lah! And each and every one of them had their own camera D: And we were required to smile and play at the same time. Like how to do that? We don't play with our teeth showing D:

I keep thinking about SYF. It's only six more days. That's less than one week ): And I keep changing tone!

ABRSM is irritating. I want my results now urghhh. Everytime I log in and I click click click all the linking links, then the page takes awfully long to load...and finally I see a "No results published" in bold D: Hannah's gotten hers already. Why does mine take sooo sooo long?? ):

The March Holidays are Ending ):

2009-03-20T21:24:00.000-07:00

And school's starting ):

So sad lah. But it's good in a way. Cos I feel so extremely slack these few days.

I've been to the Band Room for so many days. It's like I'm living in there D:

SYF is making me stressed.

Why is it just so hard to get all of us flutes in tune?

):

2009-03-19T03:45:00.000-07:00

It's Thursday!

I didn't know actually. I lost count of the days. I thought today was Wednesday /:

Thursday means that the March Hols are gonna end too soon! ): Only 3 miserable more days to gooo ):

Thursday also means

SYF after 5 more Band Pracs!

Time flies.

...when you're having fun? O:

There's extra Band Prac on Saturday. But it's surprisingly only 2 hours long /: How funny. 3 hours is the normal timing /:

//

Went to watch "Race to Witch Mountain" with Sandy,Yu Qing and Audrey after Band Prac today. Audrey proved to be much much more reliable than I expected. The movie was quite nice though. Except for the fact that if the taxi driver did not follow the two alien kids, there would be no possibility for the show to go on. I mean, why he so kay po? Hahah :D

But it sure would be a much much better movie than "Dragonball" hahah (:

//

Band was weird. She kept repeating part "T", making me keep playing the wonderful ending again and again. I was super tired, yet still must hold 20 over counts. Haiyah, what to do. Must jian chi dao di! Only 5 more pracs till the actual one...! /:

Ahhhh SYF. I can't imagine how scared I would be on the actual day ):

CIP at East Coast :D

2009-03-16T00:37:00.000-07:00

...cum Class Gathering! :D

Not really class gathering though. I reached school at 7.50am when we were supposed to be there at 8.15am. Only May Shuen and Amanda to entertain me hahah. Then suddenly more and more people came. Then I realised that Diligence and Hope were coming with us too /:

I thought it was just gonna be us three faith peeps! Hahah :D But the more the merrier!

Okay okay.

The three hours supposedly spent to pick up rubbish along the beach were spent mostly taking photos (URGHH AMANDA), and singing Jericho.

YES JERICHO. (It's not a typo :D) "It must be the SYF fever...!" (quotes C___ ) Can you spell L-A-M-E? D:

Sandy and I paired up to pick rubbish. (I had to drag the darn rubbish bag most of the time) After spending ages trying to examine each corner for rubbish (east coast was surprisingly quite clean), we walked from one end of the shore to the other singing the beginning of Jericho.

Cos we were super tired. My back was aching, stomach grumbling, and we were sweating (it was super hot lah) So the beginning of Jericho totally fit the mood at that time. Cos like they were supposed to find a home but couldn't find one? Well we couldn't find food and shelter. BUT THERE WAS SAND. So that's the similarity hahah :D

We were quite in tune actually, to come to think of it...except that people kept staring hahah whooops! :D Then we switched to some National Day song. Hah how patriotic we are! :D

Oh THEN. Torture time came!

It started raining so we had to walk from one car park to another, which was quite far, while dragging our rubbish bags. Some of them broke. And some of us didn't have umbrellas, so they had to stay in the rain waiting for teachers to help them or something I dunno.

At first we were a big group of six, then Amanda, Chantel, and Megan decided that they should take a cab to Plaza Sing. Lynette, Genevieve and I jian chi dao di and decided that we should continue walking till we see Macs (then we laugh at them for taking cab)

We walked

and walked...

and walked...

And WALKED for an hour or so.

...but still no sign of Macs. (Meanwhile Lynette was planning to hijack the people on bicycles so we could reach Macs quicker)

So we gave up and tried to hire a taxi to J8, and back to (quotes Lynette) "CIVILISATION"

All in all, it was quite fun. Still I feel that today was something like a Survival of the Fittest or Amazing Race.

I walked till my legs are numb. And there's Band tmrw! In the morning! Yippee.

March Holiday Blues

2009-03-15T03:18:00.000-07:00

I think I'm going crazy.

It's been only three days after my flute exam and I'm constantly checking the ABRSM website to see if my results are out yet.

I check the computer about an average of three times each day D:

PLEASE LET ME GET A MERIT !

I'm crazy cos Ruei Ern and Ying Tong haven't even finished thier exams and yet I'm expecting my results to pop up online. I keep seeing "No results published"! It makes me sooo mad D:

Anyway, MARCH HOLIDAYS ARE HERE! And it's so boring lah. I'm actually looking forward to having Band Pracs. Without CCA pracs during the holidays, I think I'll just die of boredom at home /:

The whole world seems to be slowing down. Oh I think I know why. Flute exam's over and homework's not much of a mountain.

Ahhhh.

The Climax of My Life (:

2009-03-12T04:57:00.000-07:00

Omg it's finally O V E R !

Thank goodness me! The lump in my throat has finally gone away. I need not worry so much now! :D :D :D

Examiner was so friendly. Made me feel so happy hahah :D He looked like Santa Claus though hahah, but with a red face heh.

Scales were okay, except F# harmonic minor. He gave me so many scales, about six in total. Excluding arpeggios, dominant/diminished, chromatic etc. Lynette said A1 was really wonderful. But I thought it was just okay hahah. B was hmmm, okay, but not good enough. And C was just urgh /:

Sight-reading was supposed to be super easy. Bb major! That's what we do in combine! :D And no change in key signature or time signature! Absolutely distinction-possible! But thanks to my poor sight-reading skills, and slow tempo...):

Aural was wonderful. LOVED THE SINGING MAN. I heard all the songs before! I'm so gonna pass aural this time hahah! :D

All in all, it was a rather wonderful, happy exam. It made me wanna go again! Hahaha :D

(I didn't get in after all, but I'm not sad :) )

Woah

2009-03-11T05:38:00.000-07:00

Ning totally screwed MEP auditions. You don't want to know and you don't need to know.

Okay I sound hostile.

You want to know and need to know?

URGH.

I should focus more on my flute exam tomorrow.

TOMORROW.

Approximately TWENTY HOURS more till the climax of my life.

Yeah, my life's boring.

The good thing is, my examiner isn't a flautist, nor does he play any wind instru! He's a SINGER! O: And I know his name! :D Oh and he's a coffee-lover...just like a certain thumb WHO MADE ME GO FOR THE DMN AUDITIONS WHICH TOTALLY RUINED MY SELF-ESTEEM.

URGHHHHHH I'M SO DUMB TO ACTUALLY TRUST THEM!

It's so gonna be okay. I'm so gonna do it. I'm so gonna pass with flying colours...and blow the examiner away! (quotes accompanist) :D

Oooh I'm typing in paragraphs O:

)':

2009-03-07T01:19:00.000-08:00

MEP Orchestra Auditions - Just let me get over with it (four more days)
Flute Exam - Please let me pass ! (five more days)
Band - I feel screwed?

STRESS MAKES PEOPLE GROW WHITE HAIR.

Sandy says I have one strand already. With the amount of stress I'm going through now, I think my entire head should be like white now?

URGHHHHHHHHHH ! MEP AUDITIONS! DUMB EXPECTATIONS! DUMB STANDARDS! WHY DOES EVERYONE EXPECT SO HIGH OF MEEEEEE!

Please lah, it's FIVE SHARPS AND THREE PAGES LONG. And viola's orchestra piece is in C Major?

Oh, and I'm first to play for the auditions.

Quotes Zhang Di: "Another MEP flute player went to NAFA" (prolly coming for auditions too)

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Probably the Best Band Prac in History O:

2009-03-05T02:39:00.000-08:00

Ohmygoodness. As the title of this post says, today we prolly had the best band prac ever. Ever. In the entire history of band pracs. Seriously.

It started quite badly actually. Dumb Ann (hah :D) brought home the super cool new tuner and Ms __ was asking for it. I got scolded in the end. And when I called her to clarify where it was, she laughed and said she brought it home. Like what?? D:

Okay then we started warming-up and playing scales and stuff. She was in a quite good mood at that moment, but cannot take risks, so we were really playing our lungs out.

Then, the one-that-made-everything-so-happy came! She walked into the MPR 1 and was like smiling and smiling and smiling like nobody's business. Until Ms __ had to stop and we greeted her.

Words repeated:
Good - more than 20 times (i was in shock, so couldn't count)
Very good - 5 times?

I don't think I need to elaborate more. This is totally out of the ordinary. Since when the word "good" was in her vocabulary? O: Then she actually complimented the trumpets and trombones! O: O: I was super shocked. Then omg she dropped the bomb: She said I played very nice vibrato for the solo.

I could literally feel goosebumps on my arm!

What's with all the scarily-positive compliments! This is just...just...so weird! This is just wrong man! :D Where and when did she hear the vibrato?? My diaphragm didn't even jerk one bit O:

Wow. If she continues this positive happy attitude, my world would just turn upside down O:

Ahhhhh! D:

2009-03-04T00:46:00.000-08:00

WE GOT THE DATE!

It's officially gonna be on

31ST MARCH 2009

Gasp! Gasp! Horror! Horror! We're gonna be the first band to play some more! (and spoil the judges' morning CHOY CHOY CHOY TOUCH WOOD!)

We're gonna sound fabulous. We're just gonna ooze with awesomeness and impress the pants of those judges yeah! :D

Oh ho ho. The other Performing Arts groups haven't got their dates yet /: Why does ours just seem so terribly close by?? O:

Only 10 more band pracs to go.

//

WAIT WHY AM I SCARED OF THAT?? When something even closer is gonna make me more nervous.

MY FLUTE EXAM'S NEXT THURSDAY.

Birthday Time! :D

2009-03-01T05:02:00.000-08:00

Happy 15th Birthday Sum!

(omg, i've dedicated one entire post just to celebrate your bday yeah! :D)

Miss the good ol' times when you were 14 (go figure that out yourself ): )

Band Concert! :D

2009-02-28T05:30:00.000-08:00

Today was the day of the

BAND CONCERT! :D

(i forgot what was the name of the concert heh)

We met in school at around 12.15, warm-ed up, then took the school bus to Singapore Conference Hall for practice. We got ourselves a cute dance-studio-like room with mirrors, which made us sound super good, but cos of the echos /: But Ms Sia said that if we could acheive that standard, we'd be considered good! (So there's hope after all yay :P)

Then at around 2.15pm we went to the actual place for rehearsing. Everyone was quite scared at that time for some reason, but I wasn't. Then when we were asked to go in, I SAW ALMOST THE ENTIRE HALL FULL OF BAND PEOPLE.

Which had an direct impact on me. No wonder everyone was so scared that time. I didn't pay attention whoops O: The 45 mins spent in there was so scary (to me heh) :D

Then at 6.30pm plus plus, after our Mcdonalds dinner, we prepared for the actual concert! :D While we were waiting at the entrance, Jiahui, Lynette, Hannah, Ruei Ern, Wen En, and Samantha came to visit us yaayyyyy! :D I am sooo sooo super happy you guys came hahahah yay! (certain potatoes couldn't make it for some reason I forgot D:)

Thanks for the red rose! So preeettyy yay thank youuu! :D

Our playing was quite disappointing though /: FLUTES WERE OUT OF TUNE GEEEEZZZZ. After all the time Ann and I spent trying to make the section sound okay ): Solo part was rather okay though. Thank goodness I didn't get so nervous until I couldn't hold long enough (refers to the Genting competition) O:

I think we played very few dynamics. At most, we had maybe mp to f? When the range ideally was supposed to be pp to fff? Or was it ppp. Ahh that's worse D:

All in all, it was a happy Band Concert! :D I hope that during SYF we can play twice better. With an extended range of dynamics! And a pro-er flute solo! And happy nice-sounding flutes that are IN TUNE. Heh, what a wonderful dream :D

...but dreams are meant to be acheived! So GO SNSB! Yeah! :D

Hoho

2009-02-15T00:22:00.000-08:00

OMG I WANNA GOLD FOR SYF !

Happy Valentine's Day!

2009-02-15T00:00:00.000-08:00

(just pretend I posted this yesterday, it's a yesterday's post!)

Ate lunch at 11.30am, which is like one hours after my breakfast O: I almost felt like vomiting urgh O:

Arrived in school at 11.45am. Berato was supposed to be at that time. They tricked me /: We took attendance at 12 noon instead. With my burger still un-digested in my stomach ):

Went to Singapore Conference Hall to rehearse for SYF. Ann said it would be very cold on the actual day. But it wasn't when we went to rehearse. I think they were trying to save energy. They weren't any air-cons turned on at the ground level!

And we had to practice on some balcony thing. Which made us hotter. And sweatier.

The practice session was all in all okay. Oh yeah that reminds me, I've gotta advertise! :D

SNSB CONCERT!
28 FEBRUARY 09
SINGAPORE CONFERENCE HALL
7.30pm to (probably) 9.30pm
TIckets at $10

9 other Bands would be playing in the concert toooo. We'll be playing our SYF pieces. Piece. Only Jericho. Hahhah quite boring cos we've been like playing it since last year! But still, come support us (and Mr Ong's company hahah)! :D

Oh yes. Thank you to everyone who gave me Valentine's Day presents! And candy! <3

(Happy 3 days late Birthday Samantha Chewww! :D)

Screwdriver Day ):

2009-02-12T03:21:00.000-08:00

Chem Test was SCREWED. It was so much more "in depth" than I thought it would be! ): I wanna go back to Sec Two! When full marks for Science Tests were possible ):

Auditions were SCREWED. Yes, it was TODAY. The entire Sec 3 cohort had Chem Test till 3.30 so they came late for Band. And the moment I went to the Band Room, Ann called me to help her teach the Sec Ones! I had no idea auditions were today. Until Yuqing popped it up. URGHHHH!

My head was SCREWED. Major major headache today. At first I thought it was only the lack of proper sleep. Then just when I was about to go for the auditions, the headache came! The timing was just too perfect man. URGHHHHHHHH!

I hate "Celebration". I hate the chair that they used during the audition. Most of all, I HATE THE FACT THAT I DIDN'T ASK HIM WHETHER I GOT IN OR NOT.

Urghhhhhhhhh! D:

Another Happy Day!

2009-02-11T00:58:00.000-08:00

Oh today was so nice man! I think I'm starting to have more interest in flute than piano whoops hahaha :D

Today Lynette nicely agreed to stay back with me to practice the two flute pieces! (Yeah she's my accompanist :D) We went to the MEP super early and practiced. And ate. Hahahah :D

Then at 3.15 plus plus, my teacher came in to see us play. It was okay I guess (: Oh okay then the fun part began.

After like maybe half an hour, the ensemble room door squeaked open. Potato (sorry Sum no offense, I mean the OTHER one) came lumbering (HHAHAHA) in and asked in Chinese, "Sorry for the interruption, I need to move some keyboards."

I was like "Okaaaaaaay" And I think Lynette was thinking the same way hahah :D

Then he took his own sweet time to move the keyboards. I mean. He actually examined the keyboards before moving them to the MEP room. Meanwhile, I continued playing while he was still inside.

He left the door open for like, ages. Then finally when he came in for the last time, he was like walking towards me (I ignored him) and searched the floor. Then he picked something up and said "Is this yours?"

IT WAS A TAMBOURINE.

Like why in the world would I bring a tambourine to school??

And Wang Tong was cute enough to add, "Oh, you can play it as percussion for your second exam piece" HAHAHAHA! :D I think she was trying to break the akward pause hahah.

The good thing is, I think I'm gonna do okay for the pieces...! :D

Chem test tomorrow, jiayou Ning! :D

Happy Day!

2009-02-09T05:34:00.000-08:00

I shan't publish my post. Blogging sure is a good way to relieve stress /:

TingXie was awesome and MEP Melody Writing was happy too hahah :D

Yess, Ning's progressing well. Gradually. But well...! :D

I should post less often. People actually spend this time mugging! I must have more resilience. Hhaha if that's the word to describe it.

(:

AHMYGAWWWDDD!

2009-02-07T23:36:00.000-08:00

OHEMGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

It came yesterday,

Name of Candidate: Me

Grade: You really don't wanna know.
Date: 12/3

Diediedie. And if you noticed, it's on a Band day. Which means she's gonna find out whether I like it or not.

Approximately one month to Doomsday.

):

CNY Party! :D

2009-02-07T02:20:00.000-08:00

CNY Party at my house today!

It was funnn! Hahah :D My mum's and dad's friends all came starting at 2pm then they drag till 6pm while my dad's friends came at 7pm! So cool huh! Hahaha :D

Geez man. A small little guy (i thought he was P3) came into my room and talked to me. I was studying MEP and Chem at the same time (hahah) and I happened to put my Chem book near me. Then he was like "Can I read it?" Of course I said yes. Then he was reading it from cover to cover, like he was so engrossed in it! O: At first I thought he was just fascinated by the cuteness of atoms and other drawings, then suddenly he asked "Hey is the answer C for this question"

I was rather shocked that he took the reading so seriously so I went to check, AND HE WAS DOWNRIGHT CORRECT! O: O: I asked him where did he learn all these stuff from then he said "I go to the net to learn"

Like WOAH right. And he's just P5! He should've gotten into the Gifted Programme. Pro geniuses like him should belong in Raffles Institution! Hahah I'm sooo jealous! :D

I dunno why I'm still a little affected. That just screams injustice man.

2009-02-06T01:50:00.000-08:00

Geez man! Some people have extraordinarily big mouths and small-sized brains.

URGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

We did not have auditions today. We had some talk by the teachers-in-charge instead. Auditions should be next Friday.

On the up side, I finally broke my record of Bs for Chinese Compo (: Yay me! :D

Flute Section Juniors!

2009-02-05T03:38:00.000-08:00

Ahh they were so cute okay! :D The moment Ms Sia came, she made Danica and I and some other people to go give instrument mouthpieces to the Sec Ones! Danica and I were sooo excited! But we didn't really know what to do, and THERE WERE ALMOST NOT ENOUGH FLUTES! Unless you count the algae one eew.

Three juniors in total! But I only know one name hahah :D Sheryl something. And a short haired one, and another tall one! Like me hahah :D But they were so quiet. Hmmm must make them talk more during sectionals tmrw! :D

Oh oh and the air con in the Dance Studio was FREEEZING COLD!! It was so cold and I was sitting very the air con and it kept blowing at me! D: Hence I played while shivering. Zhangdi thinks it's vibrato. Just like her "cute" tutor.

Omg.

OHMYGOODNESSSSS.

I just realised there's

SYF AUDITIONS TOMORROW!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Happiness is in the Air :D

2009-02-04T04:49:00.000-08:00

Oh goodness gracious me. SHE IS SO DMN IRRITATING.

Band tomorrow! I'm actually looking forward to it...! Cos we'll finally be able to get to know our Sec One juniors! So cooool hahahh! :D

Ting Xie is over and I think I'm able to hit hit Su Long's expectations! Yay! Cheng Yu was surprisingly well done and easy! Just hope I don't make any careless mistakes.

Maria's being a tad annoying again. She keeps changing deadlines for us from thie Friday to next week. Then to Week 8 etc etc. And now we have to do another persuasive speech! She cancelled the one before and now she gives us each a specific title to draft on! And it's graded! Now all my hardwork from the previous one is like wasted D:

Oh I can't wait for tomorrow yay hahah...! :D

Sec Ones Orientation!

2009-02-03T03:27:00.000-08:00

Omg so super cool man! Today we got to see the cute Sec Ones yay! :D

Hahah, the Sec Ones so attentive and most of them (I'm proud to say), are non-AP! Yay! :D They were a total of 30 plus recruited including 4 Sec Twos, but none of them were China Scholars! O:

While the rest of the band were in the Dance Studio playing stuffs and getting tortured by her, we were playing Wacko with the Sec Ones! :D Super super fun hahah! :D Joan just had to use me as an example in the instructions of the game and in the end, I almost got wacked many times. But thanks to Grace, I didn't! :D Hoho~

Ahhh then instead of the 2 games we were supposed to carry out, we only played Wacko, cos Ms Sia wanted us back by 4.30pm instead of 5pm! And Ms D_ just had to make the Sec Ones say out a reflection on how lucky they got into Band or something, which took up even more time D: Why must she transfer from Choir! O:

Oh oh and the best of it all is that I got back from the Orientation just at the right time! No solos, no loud flute parts to play hahah! She was also extra black-faced today, for no apparent reason. And Yuqing told me that she sent people out the moment they made a mistake! Small or not! So scary. So Mr Ong got angry with her cos she sent too many people out hahah :D

I'm happy today...! Oh wait. Ting Xie tomorrow. Su Long expects everyone to get 80% and above. COS WE'RE EC. Like WHAT! Cos I didn't even know Chinese was inclusive to EC! I thought Maths and Science only! Like I don't struggle enough during normal lessons...? Sigh ):

TKGS Band Exchange

2009-02-01T05:35:00.000-08:00

In my opinion, we totally embarrased ourselves on Saturday.

Firstly, compared to the others, we had fewer Band members than the other schools present (I think). And to top it up, she had to make the Sec Ones not play, and hence, resulting in even fewer members and made our sound softer.

Then we had to go first. The Band leaders had to go draw lots for who to go first and guess what. We got first O: But it was good actually (for me) cos I had to pee and couldn't wait for all performances to end hahah :D

Okay about the performance. We totally BUUUSH-ED the entire performance. We were so soft, some of us were out of tune, and our fff sounded probably like hmm, mf? Yeah /: The drums were either ahead of us or behind us during "Celebration" and Ms Sia's eyes were like bulging out cos it was very obvious that we were out of time O: Oh and don't get me started on the solo. IT WAS CRABBY REALLY. Hated it man ):

After the performance, Ms Sia called Trombones out and they disappeared for a rather long time. Then when Yuqing came back from the toilet, she said she heard the entire section getting scolded by her /: Thank goodies she didn't call on Flutes. Everyone was practically trembling when she came back geez.

Tsktsk. No wonder she keeps threatening to drop out of SYF this year ):

Oh and to top it all up, me and my crabby feelings were still crabbing in me (what kind of sentence is this) and when we were on our way out, I heard this wonderful nice sound. Someone was playing the flute. Real real professionally. And it made me feel so sad y'know. Then I spotted the guy who was playing it. So mean man, make Ningo sadder. I think I saw him in a workshop before. Teaching us. No wonder.

Happy 200th Post!

Happy 200th Post!

:D

My sister was teaching me how to Facebook just now. Yeah I'm slow hahah(: And thanks to Sam, my Facebook name is stuck as "Farmer Ning". And the description is always "Farmer has added a friend, Farmer has..." like D: She told me that it is possible to change the name!

Sooo...FACEBOOK HAS BEEN CAUSING ME PROBLEMS. I plan to delete my account. And Samantha's fake Ning account. Then create a new account which combines both! :D

It takes two weeks to delete the account ):

Happy Lunar New Year 2009!

Oh I've been regularly posting nowadays cos I think I'm free. Either that or I've not been paying attention in class

Maths Test was totally totally super duper SCREWED to the max. Okay I think I sound a little like Angelique now. Super bimbo-ish I mean. Hahaha doubt she'll ever see this though :D

Angelique visited today! Wasn't much different from last year. (So far the most outstanding difference-in-personality is Sum O:) Except for the fact that she kept pretending that she totally lost touch of the school and really forgot every single bit of the two years she spent here. She kept saying stuff like:

"Do we have to put the bowl back?"

"Where to put it ah?"

(direct quotes)

D:

Band SYF Auditions for Sec Twos today! Mr Cher tested them in the Band Room one by one while the rest waited above at the Specs Stand. Results: Both Yu Qing and Jie Ying didn't get through both pieces. Surprisingly. Re-auditions would be after the Sec Threes and Fours have done theirs. I mean ours. FOLLOWING FRIDAY. Or Tuesday, can't remember. Better not be Tuesday omg. Otherwise that would mean Ms Sia is auditioning us...! D:

Ting Xie following week. Gong Han next Wednesday. No piano next Friday. Next Thursday is a St Nicks holiday! :D Thanks to our brilliant yellow badges' O Level results! :D (HAHAH SEE WE HAVE A HOLIDAY AND YOU DON'T-samantha and sum and choo) Tee hee hee!~

2009-01-21T01:03:00.000-08:00

My sister got into String Orchestra! :D

Yay, luckily! Cos I thought that if she got into Band, I dunno how she would be able to cope with her work load.

Chinese Test today. Not graded thank goodness. Compo will probably be back tomorrow or Friday. I doubt Friday cos of CNY Celebrations. Better not Friday. Spoil my orange mood ):

I think I caught the flu bug from Sandy and Fong Thing ): I sneezed many many times in the morning. And had blocked nose for a little while. Sighs...):

Band tomorrow...another surprise visit? (says Ning a little hopefully :D)

OHGEEEZ. CHEM EXTRA LESSONS TMRW.

Eew.

Eew.

Eew.

One of the Happiest Days in Ning's Sec 3 Life

2009-01-20T04:33:00.001-08:00

Goodness me goodness me!

The whole flute section became re-united on the 20th of January 2009! :D

I thought you all weren't gonna come cos no one told me that you'll be coming! I thought Samantha and Sum had VJ Band Pracs today? O: Ohwait. You all pon for me?? I'm so very touched! :D :D

I still can't believe it man. Super super happy. After Lynette and I finished rehearsing in MEP room, we went to eat lunch and was soon joined by Amanda, Wen En, and Jeanette. Then suddenly, Amanda was like

"Hey I wanna take a picture with Laisum."

Then I was like what? And I followed her finger direction and SAW THE TWO CUTE LITTLE THINGS THERE! IN FRONT OF ME! WALKING TOWARDS ME! :D

Oh boy oh boy. At that time, there were simply no words to describe my happiness and joyful-ness and gladness and more happiness! So I screamed :D

Thankfully, with my scream, it made them find me! And the flutes were re-united once more! (Choo was underground in Band Room :D)

Not only I can finally see Sam in VJ uniform, we also got section tuner back! YES. OUR OUT-OF-TUNE DAYS ARE FINALLY O V E R ! :D

I love it man. Simply love it. I was rather enthu today even after lunch (and even with the prospect of going for CCA later) so with you guys visiting, it made me simply explode with enthu-ness and JOY! :D (Sorry my vocab's a little limited so I use repitition! :D)

Oh and my dream came true! :D

Band Prac was mostly spent on VIDEO-ING the SYF Marching part. Geeez so scary! Flutes were in first row! And my hair kept flying here and there so irritating! Ms Du video-ed us. Her skirt flew with the wind (:D) in shocking ways too O:

Dented flute fixed!...and would be given to Naomi. I'm not talking bad about anything but, the flute she first had was Sum's flute, which was a new one. I just discovered that the trill keys were spoilt. And now I'm giving her my old flute (the nice to play but dented one) and I really do hope she takes care of it! Sum's old flute turned from shiniest among section to unrecognisable from a distance. Pretty please take care! ):

Ning now lives in Happy Island! (Those who take Geog go check your maps)

2009-01-19T02:32:00.000-08:00

Ohmigoodness I actually dreamt of Samantha coming back to visit us, and giving us back our precious section tuner. See how deprived you made me of your visits! O: Laisum was there too, I think. And she was smiling like never before O: I'm not really sure if it was supposed to be a visit. I think Sum was wearing St Nicks uniform, but Samantha was wearing VJ's. What's the significance of that eh? Now's the time to put your Unseen Prose (or rather dream) into action! :D

And yes. Dear Maria. She said Persuasive Speech draft was gonna be due like TOMORROW. Then she happily chirped (yes really chirped, JUST LIKE THOSE IRRITATING MORNING BIRDS) that

"...and on Tuesday, we'll be brainstorming on our title of our persuasive speech in our little groups of four."

Note the words in bold and scream.

Dear Maria, so cute and cuddly.

Oh oh! But on the up-side, I saw my long lost friend! We were in same class in P3 and P4, then we seperated into different upper primary classes and the next time I knew, she went to another school!

But I saw her I saw her! :D Still looks the same hahah. I think her name is Yu Wei or something. The moment I saw her (she came into the wrong class), I was like BINGO BABY I KNOW HER FROM SOMEWHERE! O: And I do!

Fat potato (the other one, not you Sum no offense :D) almost locked us out during MEP break. Cos we supposedly took advantage of the 15mins break to queue for Orange Bowl muahahah. Then when the class just started, he started saying about how excited we would be when we get to "mix" with boys at the MEP camp. This is not the first time. He did not stop talking about them. Every now and then during lesson, he would suddenly say things like "My last year batch got sooo excited..." Like what are you trying to say man. Then he was like

"I used to be in MEP y'know"

Then Sandy said "Oh then you mean you were GAY at that point of time?"

No wonder he keeps talking about guys lah.

Saturday is a Boring Day

2009-01-17T05:23:00.000-08:00

Ahhh shouldn't have laughed at Danica for having muscle cramps. Now it's my turn! D: Aching everywhere. My stomach is aching too (prolly cos of breathing exercises!) and not to mention my back! ):

Went for checkup today. Missed the one in December 08 so had to replace. There's a E Math test next Thursday. And there's MEP on Monday. Sigh, have to see them again D:

Oh my statistics for Chess Titans have improved! :D Now I have 4 wins and 8 draws. Thanks to the awesome Ctrl + Z, I am able to re-do my moves and WIN! Muahahahah :D

Projects so far:

1) Service-Learning Project
2) Physics Rainbow Project
3) Chinese Lun Tan Project

(This is mainly to remind me)

I'm bored.

But I don't want to do any homework to keep me busy /:

Thursday is a Band Day

2009-01-15T03:00:00.001-08:00

Laisum visited today! :D Made me happy and I felt un-emoish after Band yay! Ann was extra hyper today dunno why. She told me that she wanted to paste a "Celebration" sticker (from the school diary) on her name tag. Directly on her name. Like :D !

I've got loads of homework. I think. Thankfully there's free period tomorrow! And then I get to leave early for piano! Not that it's good or anything, but still good! :D

Oh and, SATURDAY BAND PRACS HAVE FINALLY STARTED. Guess what time we have to report? 8am. EIGHT IN THE MORNING! What happened to sleeping-in on the weekends and since when did they become so enthu about conducting us? O:

And and and. I accidentally brought the keys back home with me today D: The return of Sum totally distracted me! And as a result, I had to run all the way from home back to school to return them. I'm terribly terribly terribly sorry! Really! Lucky I live near the school O: And when I reached home, I was like sweating like madd. I know, disgusting huh :D I hope I was fast enough! Any quicker I'll prolly be faster than the speed of light hahah :D

I keep forgetting to put in titles.

My sore throat problem is almost cured thanks to WangTong! :D

2009-01-13T03:59:00.000-08:00

My sister got into flute! :D :D :D

Wow right! She said Miss Sia gave her the oboe to play at first! O: Then she tried blowing and unfortunately can't, so she followed what my sister wrote on the audition paper and gave her flute. "The moment I blew, it had sound!" direct quote from my sister(:

Hahhah but sad to say, she prolly won't be joining Band cos she finds three days of practice a week rather stressful. She got Cello for the Chinese Orchestra auditions! Yay her! :D

Oh man, I still can't believe it! She got FLUTE! Nice fluties! So lucky of her! I do wish she would choose Band. Then she's my junior! O: And we MEP together! And she can duet with me!! Ahhh, happy dreams, happy dreams~ :D

End of First Week in School!

2009-01-09T02:21:00.000-08:00

School's okay I guess.

Hahaha Danica has more homework than me! :D I dunno why though. Maybe our teachers are nicer than hers(: Or maybe they dump the entire pile on us later...for a surprise (shivers). So far only Physics homework and project work. Supposed to have Maths but Mrs Koh said she did not have to time to set the questions for the triple science classes. In other words, we'll have to do both Week 1 and 2's math homework next week D:

CCA Fair tomorrow! Reporting time is 7.15am in the morning! Have to wake up so early! 6.45am! Then walk to school in Band Uniform! With blazer! And flute! And I'm gonna be sooo sweaty! And stinky! ):

Tsktsk, all these arrangements just for the sec ones! ): And they have nice camps some more ): I'm jealous ): All we have is homework ):

Oh oh! There's a new vending machine in our school! :D :D It sells fruits though. 70 cents per cup. There're so many cool choices like cherry tomatoes, mixed fruits, and PINEAPPLES! :D I wanted to buy but the security guard said when you put money in, no fruits come out ): So sad, otherwise I could have had a nice walking-back-home-eating-fruits time! ):

Ahahhahah!
