4th day of school ever since after the june holidays. it's back to school agn to study. must mugmugmug !! olvl chinese is coming soon. i will be taking the oral on the 12th of july and i heard the listening comprehension is on the 17th of july. don't know if it's true but i have to be mentally prepared for it first. i'm afraid i can't speak when i faced the examinor. hopefully, my examinor will not be a strict one. if i don't do well for this, i will be advised to drop higher mother tongue.. so must jiayoujiayou ! if i do well for this, then i need not retake this examination agn and if the score is a good one, i can use it for my L1R5 too ! (:

the first few weeks of school is gna be quite tiring for me. for this week, there are band practices as usual. and we gotta add another combined session on sat after tutorials due to the upcoming competitions. i think this time round, it's gna be a tough one. our competitiors are all gold or gold with honours bands during the SYF last year. it's gna be quite stressful and it's also the 1st national band competition. tkgs is playing movement for rosa which is the same as us so we must jiayoujiayou ! at the same time, i can also meet many of my friends. HAHA ! next week, it's a public holiday on monday cuz it's youth day. tues, i will have a writing test as well as amath test. there will be this rehearsal for school's annoiversary later that afternoon. bad day yea ? wed is band as usual. there MIGHT be another rehearsal for school's anniversary if we did not rehearse well on tues. then fri is band. sat also got band and finally, perfomance for the school's anniversary.

the following week, there will be this talk on CIP which is gna be held on the 15th of july which is a saturday and also just a day before the competition !!! i doubt mr wong will let all the sec3s off for this cip programme.. olvl oral on the 12th of july which is wednesday. that means i will have to miss combined agn. then there's this chemistry test on that day too. oh, not forgetting the racial harmony celebrations !! i think it's gna be held like somewhere during the 3rd week too. AND finally... competition !! it will be held on the 16th of july, sunday at victoria concert hall. we are facing schools such as RGS,RI,VS,ACSI,MJC,TKGS and many more.

so this had be my schedule for my 1st 3 weeks of school. there seems to be a lot of things to be done. but after all these, i had be more free cuz after the competition, i will only need to go for band twice instead of thrice until after national day before it resumes to the normal schedule.. yupyup. shall blog more next time round. ciao !

went back to school today for amath lecture. it was quite okaye lah. didn't rly get it at first but after a while, i slowly got the hang of it. the teachers were trying to kill us lah. they didn't on the air-conditioner and all of us were like suffocating in the LT2 with all the doors closed and the air-conditioner not on. grr. but fortunately, they found out that it was not on and miss chan immediately on it for us.

i was supposed to go parkway with gena to play that machine where you put in a 1-dollar coin to turn this little ball out and in it will be some handphone keychain or some other toys. that kind of machine lah. i wanted to try getting the yellow pooh or perhaps a mickey or a minnie. but xueli needa rush home after the lecture for her piano lesson so gena had to rush home with her too and we couldn't go play that machine today. yupyup.

went home after that and i wanted to do my homework but i was stuck with my computer as you see. haven't been using it for very long. yeah. so it's time for me to use and enjoy. it's rly bored staying at home facing the four walls everyday. i had nth to turn to except for this comp or maybe my sudoku for leisure. i have been doing a lot of the sudoku these few days so i thought it had be better to use the comp.

anyway, i rly want a mp3 player but up till now, i still can't decide for myself which one is better and which one i should buy. it seems that creative doesn't seem to be that good cuz the volume range is very small and it's quite soft listening to songs on the creative muvo. creative zen neeon would be troublesome cuz i still needa buy sth separately to charge the player or sth. ipod is a lil ex and according to the salesgirl whom i approach ytd, she said that the batteries will spoil like in 8months???? she recommended me this mp4 player instead. an akai brand. it seems not too bad just that the screen a bit too small for me to watch videos. but it's very small and slim. sth like the ipod nano. and it's quite cheap too. 179bucks as compared to those ipod ones. but i wonder if akai will be good cuz i have never heard of this brand before but my mum says that it's actually quite popular last time. is it good? or should i wait longer for some new ones to be released in the market??

okaye. let's talk about the world cup fever. yes, the fever is BACK ! hahs. i didn't watch the match but after hearing about the england-paraguay match, i feel so sad for paraguay lah. they actually scored a own goal and let england win with a score of 1-0.it's like awww... that footballer who kicked the ball in must be feeling so bad. but oh well, i bet he didn't expect it. anyway,my dad is just so crazy about this world cup now. he is down with the WORLD CUP FEVER ! he has been reading on the newspaper for more news on it cuz we don't have SCV. my mum told him to go subscribe for it and if he rly does, i will have more channels to watch !! yay !

i feel so dead. i've got a whole load of homework not done. i did amath yesterday and i practically didn't know how to do all except for those that were on factor theorem and indices and surds. gosh. what's wrong with me ??? gah. the SS is killing me too with graphic organisers and the 3 SEQs... ahh !!! why are there always so much homework during the holidays?? i know it's a one month holiday but can the teachers lighten the load of homework for us?? there's like homework for every subject ?!

i have only attempted one SS question and i needa re-do my graphic organiser. damn. i can't think of any plot to do that narrative compo on the difficult neighbour and i have forgotten how to write an argumentative essay. i shouldn't have attempted that blogging essay. if not, i would only need to write 1 compo instead of 2. ahhh. what's the use now? bleahs. and the 1100 words i only did till week 15. i still need to complete another 11 weeks in the book before i can complete that assignment. and of course, there are also emath.. geog.. chinese.. physics (2 whole exam papers !!!!!) .. chem.. i don't wish to think of it anymore !!

oh, i see a bird by my window now.

went out with my mum yesterday to orchard. i think i was being very dumb. my mum wanted to look for a fruit blender so we went to ck tang to have a look at the electronics section. i was like a country bumpkin, being so amazed by all the equipments over there. but, its truly amazing ! i have never seen an iron so small before and i was laughing when i saw it. the iron is rly small and i wonder how long it will take for one piece of clothing to be ironed. HAHAS. it was a travel iron though. i was fiddling around with all sorts of things: rice cooker, oven, toaster, rolling pin, fryer(?), fruit blender,coffee maker... you name it, i practically
fiddle with everything.

after that, my mum and i saw this steamer which seems to be very good indeed. you can steam anything you want in this steamer. it's rly good ya know. don't have to use any pots and pans to cook or whatever. just get ready all your ingredients and put it into the steamer. steam it for a few minutes and it's ready to serve ! it's sosososo convenient ! this promoter is rly nice !! she gave us a lot of food to try out and it's rly taste good even though it's only steamed for a while ! and guess what? pears and bananas can also be steamed ! can you believe it ?! BANANAS ! i was surprised to know that bananas could actually be steamed ! and it's quite tasty too ! i love the steamed pear too. it's rly sweet when you chew on it and it's very juicy !!!!

after that, went shopping around and saw this tote bag which i quite like it(: unfortunately, my mum thinks that it's not nice so she didn't buy it for me :( never mind, i shall go there somewhere during this holiday and go get it on my own ! YAY ! in the end, i didn't get anything except for a pair of earrings. ahh. i wna buy some things !! it's the GSS ! i must make good use of it and buy more stuffs ! mwahahahaha:D

i stayed at home today. didn't rly feel like gng out today. felt so lazy and tired. just don't feel like moving about. how lazy can i get.

i packed a bit of my room cuz it was messy again. grr. it's just forever messy and it seems that no matter how much i pack, it's still so messy ever. sighs. and i washed my shoe today ! -under the order of my mum. hahas. i did as she said cuz i was quite bored. might as well just do it. at least it helps in killing a bit of my boredom(:

i watched this show on channelu just now. can't rmb what the title was but during the opening of the show, it just keeps on playing 'i've got the power'. talked about how girls should behave in pubs. kinda of hilarious to hear some weird and funny things that some of the guests in the show said. and i learn sth!- now i know that martini is so called an 'elegant' drink for ladies and it's the most appropriate drink that ladies should order when they are in a pub. martini on the outside seems like a not-so-strong drink but in true fact, it's actually a very strong drink and when girls drink it slowly, it shows the elegance and the classiness (is there such a word?) of them.

btw, i think i'm so into Jesse McCartney's beautiful soul album again although it has been released for quite long alrdy. there are so many nice songs in it and i just love it so much that his songs keep replaying in my music player. ahh. macs phrase: i'm loving it !

HOME SWEET HOME !

finally back from band camp. i missed my bed so much ! so much that i just slept immediately when i touched my pillow. and i just slept through until 10 plus this morning ! (: that was rly great ! cuz my back has been aching after sleeping on the sleeping bag for 2days. HAHAS. so when it's back to my comfortable bed, it's like "woaaaah !" just so SHIOK !

anyway, band has been quite alright. let's start from the first day.

FIRST DAY

hmm. first day had combined in the morning for 4 hours. after which was lunch,followed by games. i was under the blind maze game but after a while i went to join in the fun with may,xueli and gena in the teapot game. quite fun but i was quite giddy after turning around for so many times and i kinda of flew out for quite a no of times. but compared ot may,xueli and gena, i think it's just nth. after playing the teapot game, we played some other games too such as the lao ying zhua xiao ji and the wolf game. had a lot of fun under this game. hahas. after that, had sectionals,followed by drilling. sec3s had to take the squads and we have to choose between taking the sec2s or the sec1s. i chose the sec2s one in the end and i took the squad with xueli,may,yuching,gena and chanxi. after that, it was bathing time ! felt so much better after the bath. jacie,jessica,may and me went to the gym toilet at first but it was too crowded so we went to innosphere to bathe. may and me bathe at the 4th storey while jessica and jacie bathe at the 3rd storey toilet. it was dinnertime after bathing and i had beehoon. the food was not too bad. heex. then it was combined.

jesica came back to guide us !!! she's so nice ! and she was wearing a suit then cuz she had to work in the day and after work she came to sch immediately ! so sweet of her lah ! btw, her heels are rly high. we took her car to the innosphere form the concourse and it was damn lame lah. such a short journey and yet we still took her car. she guided me a lot during that combined practice. she tauightme loads of stuffs and i learnt a lot on that day ! THANK YOU SO MUCH JESICA ! hahas. it's like not her day to come and teach us and yet she still volunteered and came on her own accord to help us. i'm so touched !

SECOND DAY

had breakfast then it was combined. after combined was lunch, then it was combined again. after that, it came to drilling. hongting,eeloong and nicholas took the squad. we turn here and there and after that the squad was further separated. sec3s went under nicholas and we did the 'belo' thing. we went marching arnd the school and after a while, it was time to bathe and get ready for the setup of the nighwalk. after the briefing on the nightwalk stuffs, i went with jinghui and chanxi to set up the things. we went to hide the stuffs and the 1st grp only came to my station one hour after we have set up the stuffs. chanxi and me were like rotting at the new block, having nth to do. in the end, we went to the toilet to do sudoku. i only managed to scared a few ppl. sadly, i couldnt scare yanbing. she's just not afraid at all. not fun !!!!

THIRD DAY

it was the last day of the camp. after breakfast, i went for chem remedial with gena and yuching and we all skipped the elections part. we came back after the elections and then it was sectionals. many of the comm members cried and it was just so saddening to see them all cry. then it was the results for the election. i wasn't given any post but oh well. it's okaye lah (: all i know is that i have to keep on improving my playing skills. competition is nearing and i must strive harder to play well ! :D
