today as in the 29th apr was an emo day.

it started with napfa. i had been worrying about my 2.4km, hoping fervently that i will break my personal record again for the run today. and guess what? i rly broke my record. but in a wrong way. i think i ran an extra round? cos i ran pass sinyi during the first round and i didnt see her throughout the next 5 rounds but she came in earlier than me. so weird right?

and because i was usually rhe first few to complete the race, it felt weird today cos many of my classmates had alrdy finished the race. i couldnt have deproved till this standard right? and my timing is 15:19. ohmytian. i never had this tining before. so depressing ! it's a C grade >.< i'm so gna re-run my 2,4km, better make sure i count my runs correctly. cannot lose count this time round.

and...

I MISS MY BEN & JERRY'S FREE CONE DAY AGAIN ! :(

so sad right? when can i ever get the free cone thing. i missed it last year and now, this year too. i shall not miss next year's one. i'm gng to take my ben & jerry's free cone next year. ben&jerry's, watch out for me !

in fact, i did try to get my free cone. i went with vaish to the downtown east outlet, thinking that there will be lesser ppl cos the white sands outlet is too promoinent; there will be too many ppl there queuing. so yea, we went to the downtown east outlet and we were so happy to see so few ppl! i was so excited to get my free cone when i noticed a note that says : 'free cone day @ white sands outlet'

alamak. i was so sad can? went down all the way to downtown only to realise that they dont provide the free cone thing. so vaish and me went to white sands and ohmy, the queue was long! it was 630 that time and we reckon that we wont be able to get our ice-cream even if we were to queue that time cos the free cone thing will end at 7. so instead, we went to eat what vaish had been craving for since last year. KFC !

hahaha, the last time she took kfc was last dec. and me? last fri >.< i've been taking loads of fast food man. it's like, for the month of april, i have alrdy patronised kfc thrice? i'm gng to gain lots of weight. argh. vaish felt sinful after eating her 2 piece chicken meal. so sinful that she's not planning to take fast food anymore until the end of the year. wow ! let's see if she can resist the temptation of fast food !

after our meal, i suddenly recalled that i left my shoe bag outside the sch library! omg. i chiong-ed back to sch to take my precious shoe bag. haha, lucky nobody take. vaish was laughing at how slow i can get cos i left the sch @ 5 to meet ahma at this housing block void deck which was just opp the sch? she's a weirdo, why cant she meet us in sch? just because she didnt come to sch today, does that mean that she cant enter the sch? oh well, i passed my PI to her and i left shortly after that. perhaps i was too eager to pass her my PI that i forgot all about my shoe bag. and yeah, as i was saying i left the sch @ 5 wuthout my shoe bag and i only realised it @ 7. i'm the ultimate slow.

and i finally got to know my pw grouping. my group memebers are yunjie, shawn and karyn !

plus, i shall post some pics that gena, xueli and me took on sunday when we went to watch aj band's concert.


the concert was held at rp. ohmytian. ultra far. wonder why i agreed to go in the first place. lol. but the concert was not too bad. esp during peter and the lion, where there was some skit to the song. rather interesting too to hear the instruments playing sound effectx for the characters in the skit. i thought the oboe imitating the duck quacking was rather alike. lol.



me and gena posing. haha.


xueli and me. my face is smaller than hers :D

some photos with the pillars.





i shall end off with this pic!

nice right? thanks to gena and xueli's friend, sharon's good photography skills !

OH MY GOODNESS. i simply hate the 17th april 2008, TODAY !!!

the whole day totally sucks for me >.< i was so tired cos i spent a lot of time trying to research for one topic to talk about pragmatism for the GP presentation on good governance ytd. and my dark rings today were like super black! :( lessons were fine at the beginning with econs tutorial and math lecture until physics tutorial onwards, it was HELL man.

i couldnt understand the physics dynamics on how to get the sin and cos thing. my geometry just aint that good when it is mixed with physics stuff. fortunately sinyi and me went to ask mrs ang for guidance after tutorial before i finally understood the whole thing. recess got cut by half an hour by the time we finished the consultation. and we had to rush to the library immediately after that to consolidate all our info on the good qualities of governance and leadership together. ( i realised gandhi died on my birthday !)

there was no time to munch anything and before i knew it was the econs test. damn. i only talked about the price inelastic for the football club and totally didnt write anything about price elastic. gosh. cross elasticity was like 'huh?'

so after the econs lecture, i was feeling so pissed and then here comes GP where my group had to come up with the presentation first cos i was register no 1. so happened that i was the first speaker and it was not good. had no idea of what was to befall me. when ms nirmala prompted me a question, i just stood there and stunned for a moment before i answered. and the answer that i gave was so crappy. its not good to be the first speaker. you dont know what is expected of you.

and so the choice of spending so much time trying to find a topic to talk about pragmatism was so wrong. the opporunity cost incurred was time which could be spent on reading up on econs, esp the football article. during the test, i couldnt rmb anything of the article. i could only recall things that were said during the tutorial earlier on in the day.

i really must learn time management because if i dont do so, my sleep will be deprived and i will not be in a good mood. i wont pay attention during lessons and i wont be productive or efficient. the quality of work produced will also not be good. this is a slippery slope man.

later on there will be smo after school, from 430 to 730. still contemplating if i should go cos i'm rather sleepy and i have to submit my PI tmr too. gah. jc life where got good. so stressful. and this is ONLY THE BEGINNING. sigh.

okay, i am now in the discussion room. sounds cool eh? like i'm in the midst of some discussion thing with my friends right? BUT i'm just here blogging with the loan of the laptop from the library and sinyi is watching material girls. vaish and yeeling are also here too. okay, i need to sign off now cos compass lesson is next.

tata.

i'm back again! have not been using the computer for so long. school has been rly hectic esp during the past week. have been staying in school till quite late. it's either lessons end late due to timetable or extra lessons, or there is cca or smo or colosseum heats. it has been so busy!

and the heavy workload is definitely not letting me off either. i have been trying my best to keep up with what has been taught in school. but somehow, i believe i still have difficulty with physics kinematics, chemical kinetics and a bit of MI. no binomial even too. i rly have to brush up on my work. i havent pass any of my tests yet. and this is TROUBLE. failed physics and econs. and i think chem and maths will fail too. ahhh. i cant afford to be like this. the only thing i pass is GP. alamak.

okay so here were the significant events that took place from the last entry till now:

-band bbq
-science fiesta
-band camp
-council rally
-colosseum heats
-ahma and porpor birthday!
-movie marathon(i didnt go)
-meet-up with kaiyi!

yes! and let me talk a bit of ytd events as well as today's!

so ytd, i had smo on thurs cos there's no sch today! non-mjcians must be wondering why yea? haha, its actually a day that has been postponed for so long to celebrate the excellent 'A' level results this year. lol. yea. so because there's no sch today i had my smo and it lasted till 730. clashed with band since it starts @ 530 and end @ 830. met cheeri earlier in the afternoon and she told me she didnt wanna go for band cos lifeng and jaslyn had tuition and she didnt wanna wait till 530 for band ( it was 430 when she told me this) i was too busy doing econs so i didnt exactly listen to her. i just told her to go. but of course she didnt go in the end. and i thought even without the three of them, at least still have yingting, junxian and hafeez. but guess what? when i reached the band room @ 745, only jannah was there! i was utterly SHOCKED! i mean our section has always been so big. it has never occurred to me that there will be a time when there is only a trombonist during combined! fortunately jannah only came @ 715 so she was left alone for half an hour. and it was lucky that she didnt play at all until the last 5 min before i arrived.

turns out that junxian had a meeting, hafeez went to visit his grandpa and yingting was sick. alamak. and in the end, the whole of combined was left with only the 2 of us. first time number of j1s present more than the j2s man. LOL. it was also lucky that we didnt play a lot too. only played the ending part of armenian. yea. so what a day it was yea? so i was the saviour of jannah for the day!

and today i went to MP Library to study with peiqi, jannah, sharyn, jiayun, vincent, gary and jolyn. the tkus. HAHA. we managed to study! the study session was rather productive :D we hardly talked and we rly concentrated on doing our work, just that once in a while we will still chat a little or maybe ask each other for guidance on certain things. but overall it was great!

met up with kaiyi later on @ vivo ! omg. it has been so long since we met! the last time we met was in feb? haha. and she cut her fringe!



more pictures will be uploaded later! cos the rest are in the digicam:)

we were supposed to meet up earlier to get tricia's present. haha. but in the end we came up with nothing except for a cj7 plsuhie even when candice has arrived. lol. the cj7 plsuhie is rly cute! i want it! HAHAHA. we then went to harbourfront where we got her a hazelnut cream cake. it looked nice! at the top is hazelnut cream followed by the sponge cake in the middle and biscuit at the bottom layer of the cake. yummy yea?

in the end we got tricia underwears for her present! haha. it's so adorable! one was filled with many yellow chicks while the other is filled with many pigs. and she likes it! i'm so glad and relieved that she liked it. and thankfully we didnt get the cj7 plushie cos she alrdy got one. ate @ central and i like the tofu with pork floss as well as the fried calamari. nicenice!

oh and allow me to talk more about band stuff cos i just rmb i forgot to mention it earlier. if you happen to read the my paper (wo bao), tues issue (9th apr) on jc band making noise, it's definitely not mjc band. let me clear the misunderstanding now. the writer claimed that it was mjc band making noise on two sundays early in the morning @ 10am, disturbing the residents who were resting at home.

the fact is : it was not mjc band that was playing at the field. it was tkss borrowing our field to practise for the outdoor band syf tmr!

so poor thing right, we were maligned for commiting something which we have never done.


the newspaper article.

kaiyi is leaving for australia tmr, which means the next time we meet would be end of june, which is when my mid-years are round the corner. till then, we shall all work hard!

hey ya! so this week is the 2nd week of term 2. all's well just that i do rly need to catch up on math esp summation and method of difference plus recurrence! topics are gone thru so fast now that we have finished MI and now starting trigo! gosh. i must jiayou jiayou!!

ytd during econs lecture, miss jane sue actually talked to us about this trip to cambridge from 4th to 19th august. that means if we go, we will celebrate national day in cambridge. and we will miss the fireworks! lol. this trip aims to let those highly motivated j1 econs students to go and learn more about econs. we will be taught by the academic staff of cambridge and go to places like the bank of england and many others. kinda of cool yea? but it comes with a price tag man. $5335 per pax!! OOHLALA~ haha. but mum says that it's quite cheap considering that the air fare, food and accomodation are also included in the package. oh well, my mum actually wanted me to go but i'm afraid i will waste my mum's money cos it's like so ex? what if all the things i learnt there didnt get into my head? and i'm not very highly motivated. just a bit motivated i can say.

i was almost late for school ytd too! i left the house @ 720 and i thought i would be late. fortunately, my dad and i met all the green lights on the road so i managed to reach school within 10 min! YAY! i'm gna try my best to keep my record clean, not like last year! HAHA. i was late like at least once a month? damn jialat. and i challenged with vaish to see if i could reach my bus-stop before her bus reaches. I WON! :D:D i was so elated cos i walked rly damn fast.

BUT TODAY.. everything was different. i left the house late again today cos i spent a lot of time trying to hide my pe shirt under my blouse and folding the shorts so that it wont be longer than my skirt. it's so hot and stuffy having to wear 2 sets of clothing. for the first time, my dad and i met the most no. of red lights on the road man. every traffic light we pass today was practically red! it kinda of made me nervous cos i dont want to meet mr wong! he will reprimand like siao! BUT I WASNT LATE! phew! tmr must leave the house earlier alrdy. in fact tmr supposed to start sch @ 830 but there's house meeting so have to go school @ 730. and i lost the challenge to vaish today ! :( so frustrated you know. i was @ the bus-stop when bus 58 arrived and i was procrastinating if i should board the bus. i had the mentality that i would meet vaish at the bus-stop so i didnt take the bus. just when i was about to send a msg to tell her that i was at the bus-stop, i received a msg from her. i thought she would tell me she had just boarded the bus, just like how she told me ytd. BUT she told me her bus had alrdy passed my bus-stop and that SHE WON! i was like OMG. and i missed my bus just to catch her on her bus. LOL!

so i waited for a whole 15 min before the next bus arrived. met shangfa at the bus-stop so it wasnt that boring. chatted with him on the bus too and i realised how much fun the triton ogls had for their outing during the sch hols! they played from 9am to 11pm! total madness can? they went to sentosa, explore all the beaches, played games, canoe, kayak, cheered, makan. They even got a small boy to cheat just to get a family package for the go-kart thing but they were caught haha. so they didnt try the go-kart thing. then they went vivo to continue playing. arcade, pool etc. they played like almost everything within one day lah! it must have been REAL FUN that day. sad that i got band that day. if not, i will definitely go!

oh yeah, so there was PE today which explains why i wear my pe attire beneath my sch uni. we are supposed to wear like that if our pe is during the first or second period cos this will help to save time and we can reach the sports gallery on time. it's better to be early too cos if we're late, the whole class will have a make-up pe lesson on one of the days at 645 am! today was running 2.4 cos napfa is coming up. 21st april. must work hard so that when sch reopens, we can play games for pe! the whole cohort must get at least a silver for napfa. if not, we will have PT every pe lesson during term 3 to prepare for a re-test in august. sian right? so must work hard now then can relax in term 3. haha. my timing for 2.4 aint that good today but considering the fact that i have not trained for so long, it's considered not too bad. i was the first girl in my class. rather pleased with it but there's still room for improvement for my timing. i got 14:13. shall aim to run below 14 min the next time cos that's also the criteria in order to get an A. my all-time best was 13:30. hopefully i can break that record! sinyi ran 12 min last year lo. PRO!

J.C = Juggle and Cope. it's difficult but not impossible -- quoted by relief but good econs teacher, mr loh aka lala hong. HAHA!

GAMBATTE!

Went for alumni band prac today. And i forgot to help weng siong take his stick! gosh. never mind, i can always take it next week and pass to him @ the bbq :D that would be more convenient, comapared to me bringing it home today (if i had rmb) and bringing it to school again on wed.


traffic light!

HAHA. we went for lunch @ miss clarity cafe!

jess and meixin joined us later. the ambience was okay just that it was a little too dim. not exactly good for the eyes when you're reading the menu. lol. but the restaurant is super colourful, just like the colour of the shirts gena, xueli and me are wearing. and best part is, there is no GST or service charge! HOORAY!


the colour of our cups so matches with our shirts! LOL.



isnt it beautiful? the walls are filled with so many drawings like this. i feel like i am in some playroom, and not in a restaurant!

and this is my meal!


garlic crusted dory :D YUMMY!



that's gena and xueli's meal -- vegetarian(baked pasta + baked rice) and their desserts-- cream caramel & bread butter pudding !

gena, xueli and me left early cos we had to rush back for alumni band prac. we're still late though (like duh?!) we only started eating @ 230! gosh. i think we were 1 and a half hours late. felt paiseh about it. we played phantom of the opera. NICENICE :D but there's still a lot of room for improvement. need to polish on my HIGH notes especially.


the 4 different colours of chung cheng band t-shirt! WOOHOO!~ luckily chloe had worn the blue band tee. if not this pic would not have been taken successfully. haha.

it was not a very smooth ride home today :( so i was supposed to meet angel and tricia today but it had to be postponed AGAIN. wonder when will we ever rly meet up since i will not be free for the next 2 weeks. perhaps around tricia's bday? yeah so i took 43 home with gena and xueli when it started to pour REAL heavily. thought i could avoid the rain with the overhead bridge, only to realise when i reached the bus-stop that the overhead bridge had SHIFTED! this is rly silly. why in the world did the bridge shift. it was so inconvenient for me as well as many other ppl. met edna at the bus-stop and fortunately i had an umbrella so we were not that drenched when we crossed the road. but our feet was wet from the rain and the dirty mud water which flooded the ground >.<

took service 21 and yet another prob arose. the bus broke down! this was my first time experiencing a bus breakdown personally. all the passengers are supposed to tap their card, afterwhich they would receive a complimentary ticket so that they need not pay for the next bus they took.


my complimentary ticket.

btw, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOANNE! :)

i could hardly contain my excitement when i realised i could connect my phone to the comp! i was super ELATED!~ yay! HAHA. i used to think that my phone can never connect to the comp cos i'm using windows ME. (yes, i dont have XP) who bothers. i will get vista next! LOL. and i tried before once to connect my phone to the comp but it failed terribly. dont know what has come over me ytd but i just felt like trying it again and after fiddling it here and there, clicking here and there and everywhere, i managed to connect it! woohoo~ all hail to the queen~ HAHAHA. and so now in future, i will not have to depend on jessica or others to help me dl songs and bluetoothing it to me. because i can do it by myself now! WHEES~ :D

okay so, since i can upload photos now. i'm gna flood my blog with loads of pictures from the TROMBONES CHALET during the march hols. i totally missed the chalet okay. it's like today i was feeling so sleepy (i've been feeling like a zombie these 2 days) esp during the last period -- maths lecture and the minute i think of the trombones chalet, i felt so rejuvenated and much more refreshed! how amazing can that be yea? rly shows that i missed the chalet loads. and so here comes all the photos! :D:D:D:D:D:D



me.xueli.gena on the taxi to swensens :D

there were supposed to be 16 ppl for the trombones gathering @ swensens. but miss peck, jesica and jacie couldnt make it at the last min, so left 13 of us @ swensens -me,gena,xueli,charissa,meixin,jessica,derrick,qianyu,emma,walter,eeloong,alex and mr wong. i just realised that my batch of trombonists is so fated to no. 13.. LOL. and mr wong was uber "early".


top: me,gena bottom: qianyu,emma,xueli


the trombonists 04-07 with eeloong!


alex and me. PEACE! haha!

we went to buy alcohol! haha. despite mr wong telling us not to drink cos we have sec1s with us! Lol. okay, i admit we're a bit naughty. but must learn to drink a bit ma. if not next time get cheated how? HAHAHA. and besides, walter said he drank wine before. hees.

we bought...


jolly shandy! and...


these!

HAHA. and all these are treated by alex! WHEES~ thanks alex!

we were fighting to take the drinks and usually when we play games is always loser has to drink but for our case, the winner gets to drink! LOL. so all of us tried to win but i always end up 2nd. so "lucky" eh. but i still get to drink so nvm :D i esp love playing the seven-up game. HAHA. we not only use seven-up, we also use six-up, nine-up, eight-up. played until i went bonkers trying to think when to say up and when not to say to. LOL.


walter trying to practise his bowling skills. he did that dont know for how many times in the chalet lo! LOL.


gena's so flexible!


CHEERS!

we managed to stayed up till the next morning but decided to sleep for a while before gng to escape!


us sleeping. LOL. we slept for less than an hour. HAHA.

and we went to escape. we had 6 free tix! HAHA. 4 from downtown cos we stayed for 3D2N and another 2 is mine and gena's cos we went escape last year and we got ourselves a complimentary ticket! whees! there were 8 of us so we shared cost for the tix for 2 more ppl. only paid $2.50. HAHA. cos use meixin's nebo card only need to pay 7 bucks for the ticket. so cheap right? it's like more than 50% discount?!

played for a while before it started to rain and we went back to play mahjong! for the whole of the stay in chalet, we spent loads of time playing mahjong man! it hsa become an addiction/craze in the trombone section! LOL.


HU!

i'm too lazy to talk about the things in detail. i will just let the pictures speak for itself. HAHA


walter so cute!


jess and me


chalet room no.! buy 4-D? LOL.

and i realised there're a lot of photos of me eating!











HAHAHA! last pic so unglam!

okay but just to say that i truly enjoy my chalet loads and hope to have another one like that in the near future (at the end of the year!)

my mood during the chalet:

okay. so now i am currently in the library's computer room,idling time cos i will only be meeting chan and trish @ 4plus. this place is SUPER quiet and it kinda of freaks me out. probably because there arent many ppl in sch except for the j2s who are having their block test today.

so today was band and i was sosososo scared. you cant imagine how worried i was for the combined today cos only j1s have to attend due to the j2s having block test. and there are like only 2 ppl in my section, including me?! it was like wth?!

at least it's still better than pae.

yeah, i was the ONLY j1 trombonist during pae lah! i'm the only pure trombonist during the pae batch according to cheeri. seems that there's another person who can play the trombone but he aint pure trombonist cos he seemed to have switched from tuba to eupho then to trombone. yup. and he didnt join band >.< so that leaves me alone.

luckily i still have jannah with me. i told her like dont know how many times i was scared lah. HAHA. cos tkgs ppl always tell me that ms seah very fierce and all that. jannah claims that she's just crazy. LOL. but according to her, she's alrdy very nice to mj band. cos her angry mood in mj is in fact her happy mood in tkgs o.0 her temper was rather good today but could tell that she was a bit angry when one of the flautist kept on laughing and couldnt play properly. courting death it seems, according to the tkgs ppl. HAHA.

we played the circle of falls, which is actually major scales and it was extracted from the 'i recommend' book! hahaha. then we played a bit of vesuvius. gosh. i was forced to play the 1st part and jannah also had to come up from the 3rd part to the 2nd part cos ms seah realised that there weren't anybody playing the first part. and oh my, i have to practise my high notes once more. the score is SICK! loads and loads of lines drawn below the black dot and i was like 'what note is that?' lol. the highest is high Bb. i was having difficulty playing it. my pitching is always not correct and even if i can pitch it, i cant play it during the actual one cos tempo is quite fast and i cant pitch that fast and well!

and ms seah still kajiao-ed me " the notes not high what, just a lot of lines only" >.< she's rather.. comical? haha. like when we were tuning the notes, the clarinetist was rather soft and her sound was also not opened. so ms seah actually told her this

ms seah:"put yr hand into the bell"
girl"huh?"
ms seah:"put yr hand into the bell. take out the snake or the big fat cat out of yr instrument. you sound so stuffy!"

LOLOLOLOL.

and i realised that ms seah's way of tuning is very similar to mr wong's. both of them would use the keyboard to play the tuning Bb and we are supposed to tune with it. difference is, ms seah does it one by one and not section by section. i dont know why but it was so obvious if you're playing out of tune in the band room cos i can hear the clashing VERYVERY clearly! i have never heard it so clearly in chung cheng before! jannah said maybe because the keyboard sound was very loud so thats why we can hear so clearly. hmmmm... !

i hope there will be more trombonists coming to my section cos it's rather impossible for 2 trombonists to survive right? it feels like hongting and ee loong batch to me. cos jannah is a bass trombonist, and that reminds me of hongting. i have to play 1st now and this reminds me of ee loong. OMG. BUT! rumours are rife that a trumpeter may come over to my section as well as to the french horn cos there are only 2 trombonist and french horn players when there are 7 trumpeters! so inbalanced right? there are 8 percussionists as well! so many! my batch of band players are damn weird. you either have a section with too many ppl or a section with too little players like mine >.< it seems that there aint any tubists cos i didnt see any today during combined.

alright, guess i just have to practise to prepare for combined on wednesday! hopefully, wednesday would be even better and i must count properly and be more confident when playing!!

btw, i missed out triton ogl outing today. wonder if it was fun, they must be still playing @ sentosa now! aww. who asked myself to have band today and i also have to get my fbt shorts so that i can wear for chalet this coming wed! :D wonder how many i should buy. HAHAHA. and i will be watching the leap years later! though i know the leap year is alrdy like one week ago? HAHA.

step up 2 looks nice :) kinda of feel like watching. hees.

i realised that my neighbourhood is quite happening recentlly. LOL!

firstly, i just found out today that there's a pasar malam gng to be held at my hse! i never knew about it! there were like some tables alrdy set up at my hse void deck but i didnt notice at all! so weird huh? am i that not observant? or is it that i never passed by the void deck lately or did those vendors just placed the tables only today? but oh well. ANDAND! there's gna be like 2 malay weddings at my neighbourhood? WOW WOW. it's gna be so crowded and noisy downstairs with the weddings and pasar malam gng on at the same time.

wondering if i should go to the pasar malam to look for those cute polka cards cos peiqi bought her spongebob polka cards @ the pasar malam for 1 buck only! but as what huixin has said, we would not have much time to play soon. sigh. its true yea? after the march hols, can imagine my jc life man. pw, gp and the rest of the subjects.. woohoo. but at least my timetable aint that sucky yea. mon end @ 415, tues 325, wed 145 (there's band after that though), thurs 235 and fri 1205. i will be seeing a lot of my CT though cos she's gna be my maths tutor and pw ST as well.

on a lighter note, today is the last day of semester! a quick review of what has happened in 2008

-Azimuth orientation 1
-PAE
-'O' level results release
-Road race
-MY BIRTHDAY! :D
-Chinese New Year
-Azimuth orientation 2
-JAE.

so i have been through 2 orientations and both were fantastic cos each had its good points ;D in all, it has been fun for the 1st 3 months cos timetable is rather slack, have been playing quite a bit, made a number of new friends.. it has been real fun! but i must also start mugging cos homework is piling up and loads of revision has to be done for upcoming tests after the march hols. so i guess no more slacking from now onwards yea?

WHEE~
GAMBATTE GAMBATTE MJ MJ

MAY THE LUCK BE WITH YOU. (LOL)

heyo! i'm so tired and lazy lately. for the past week, all i do after i get home is either chiong-ing the comp or chiong-ing my dvd. feels like no life eh? and i hardly ever touch my sch stuffs at all! not even my waterbottle okay! LOL. i had wait till midnight before i take out the bottle to wash it. this shows how lazy i am yea?

HAHA. and we had a class outing on tues! cos we had 5 consecutive periods of break! WOOHOO~ so we went to TM's pizza hut to makan!



i guess i was mad or sth. i dont rly enjoy eating cream stuff but just dont get it why i ordered cream stuff in the end >.< it was okay though, just that towards the end it gets too jelat.

lets see.. what else has happened this week.. hmm. oh! SC! i was contemplating for the whole week if i should take up SC cos it's like so busy and all that. and i purposely go find the concillors' blogs just to see how tough it could be in SC. it seems tough but yet at the same time fun as well for them. i didnt take up SC in the end cos if i take that, i would have to give up band..

there were supposed to be 3 j1s in trombone but one has quitted so that leaves janna and me. if i were to leave, gosh then janna would be the only one! wow. cant imagine that. trombone section SERIOUSLY need more ppl. i cant play the 1st and the 2nd part all on my own when the j2s step down!

tmr is the last day of semester! WHEES~
and one good thing! : i have only ONE period of lesson tmr! :D
HAHAHA!

ohoh~ sch is here. second day of lessons. so far, it has been alright cos lecturers have kindly repeated the first few topics we learn during pae for the second intakers. except for physics though. the lecturers just went on with the lesson and second intakers have to do e-learning.

08S413 is okay so far. but the guys in my class seem to be MIA-ing. there are supposed to be like 6-7 guys in my class. but i always see only 4 everytime when we gather at the canteen. and the guys are really quiet in my class except for desmond and cheng kang i think. HAHA.

this is my class OG group. I was with triton 2 though.


i kinda of miss orientation though. 3 days seem to have passed so fast. the OGMs were rather uneenthusiastic on the first day and i guess the problem lies in that most of the first intakers have changed houses and so the change in loyalty has somehow depressed them. but i was rly happy on the second day esp after the MMM when we did the triton cheers, i must say they were great~! and that's why we won the cheering competition that day! woohoo~ so first day was mainly OSC. my station was at the perkafe and while waiting for the OGs to come to our station, aldrick and i played pool at the cafe! LOL. many were jealous of us! hahaha. but the pool stick is rough:( not nice to use at all. and i went to buy chocolate milkshake at the perkafe too! haha.

second day was MMM. it was plain running round spore but what was irritating was that we got trumped for 4 out of 5 zones! it was rly irritating! and most of the time we were trumped by miranda! so upset can? my new house got trumped by my old house >.< and so we got trumped here and there and my OG never got a chance to trump other ppl. but oh well, i think we are considered not bad alrdy to have gone to 5 zones within the time despite the numerous times we got trumped. in all, triton2 was trumped for 22min!

last day was crazy beacuse of dance finale! though triton lost (which was said to be the first time), we had loads of fun! actually the positioning of houses doesnt rly matter, what matters was we had a great time during the whole orientation! the j2s formed their own bands and went on stage to perform for us! it was rly HIGH ! and mind you, it's not that kinda of stage in the hall but a big stage bought by ms lai to be placed at the assembly plaza and there were those colourful lightings too which made the whole event even more beautiful! ANDAND! there was a record breaking event too! of collecting the most no. of bottlecaps to form the meridian crest. i miss orientation esp mass dance and cheers where everyone's so hyped up! esp the part during record breaking event where we sang the 5 house cheers plus MJ medley at one go. it was fantastic!

and i think my batch got to enjoy many new facilities that mj has added in to their sch compound. first was the pool table. upcoming next would be the rock wall which is said to be the one and only type found in spore cos the rock wall is made specially for speed climbing like those used for rock climbing competition. mj is gng to be the host for this year's national inter-sch rock climbing championships! and we are gng to have an abseiling station too in mj! ain't it cool? LOL! :D

ooh! i forgot to mention that today is the 29th feb! the leap year! woohoo~ HAPPY BIRHTDAY to those who are celebrating their birthdays today! i'm sure they are gna have a huge, gigantic big big bash cos if not, they would have to wait for another 4 years to celebrate! and i guess no one would choose to marry on this date yea? that would be quite silly to me i guess. LOL.

HAPPY LEAP YEAR! :D

oh gosh. i am in 413, cuishan in 412 and huixin in 411!~ ARGH!! irritating! and meiwoon took 4H2! OMG. only desmond, xinyi, vaish and me in the same class.. GOSH. i rly miss 08S412..

heya! havent been blogging and the last skin gave me a lil trouble cos ppl cant navigate my blog. so yea, had to change to a new blogskin so tada~!

okay, so from the last post, i was talking about jumper the movie. wanted to put a pic there but forgotten so maybe i should put it here now?

there you go!

couldnt find the one that we usually see in theatres so yea just have to put this pic.

okay, so i realised that last year, due to the busy schedule i have cos of the 'o' levels (not that i did well too though >.<), i only watched two movies -- 200 pounds beauty in june and enchanted in dec. so wow! it's like only two movies for the WHOLE of last year?! and this year, for the start of this year, i have alrdy watched a total of 4 movies! it's only 2 months into the year 2008 and i watched twice the no. of movies i had watched for last year! HAHA. though i watched only 2 movies last year, i watched a lot of dvds so it's still a lot of movies eh? so far, i have alrdy watched THE HOUSE, KUNG FU DUNK, JUMPER and CJ7!

guess of all the movies i have watched, i love KUNG FU DUNK best cos the movie is hilarious and it involved quite a no. of veterans acting in it even the taiwanese popular tv host xian-ge also acted in it! i was so shocked to see him in the movie. haha. but he was just some extra only. i think he acted for like 10-15 min only? LOL.

and yeah, JAE has started which means orientation 2 is approaching! oh wow. think everyone is all hyped up once again as all hail orientation 2 ! haha. hopefully, it had be as successful as O1 then it will be hell lotta fun! i do hope we j1 OGLs can rly hype up the rest of the J1s as well!

oh, and i realised there's another miranda person who got into triton! and he happened to be shangfa's cousin! what a coincidence! lol. and i also got to know stephanie luo, who was from kcp! i found her very familiar and kinda of expected her to be in kcp cos she's wearing kc uniform. and naturally, most ppl from kc ARE from kcp so yea:D and she's joanne luo's cousin! i never knew it until today. OMG.

of course, CONGRATS to fellow chung chengians -- wong yi, dennis and songyun for having successfully appealed to MJC! woohoo~ congrats once more! hopefully yijie and joanne can make it too :) and isaac! do hope his band appeal works! :D

i miss 08S412 though. i know there are like 2 of us not gng to be taking the same combi alrdy but i do hope the rest of us can still remain in the same class cos i do miss the times when we were tgr. though not close to every single one, i liked the feeling of us always sitting tgr in the canteen, gng everywhere round the school. feeling is nice and cosy, given that you are now in a whole new environment. it's rly great when you have friends around. so yea, may we remain in the same house and enter into the same class!


08S412!

went to catch JUMPER today!

thought the movie was not too bad even though ratings for it weren't that good. the movie is basically about this man, david (hayden christensen), who realised that he has the ability to teleport and so makes use of this incredible ability to do all sorts of things he can think of like robbing ( though nothing is damaged except for the ground which he jumped from) lol and going round the world! then there is this person known as the i cant rmb what's that who goes round killing jumpers so yea he went after david who of course ran for his life and the story goes..

yeah, so i have watched jumper and during cny, i went to watch kung fu dunk which was also good. The storyline is soso but the movie is hilarious. I was laughing throughout the movie! hahaha. which means i'm left with cj7! i wanna watch that! heard it's also not bad too! maybe i can go catch it nect week? cos gv is having student promo, 6 bucks for a ticket! 2 bucks cheaper than my ticket today. HAHA.

TMR IS VALENTINES DAY!

which means i will get to know who my angel is. my angel at last worte me a letter today! and he gave me a seashell! so nice yea? haha.

dont know what i should give my mortal too. hmm, maybe i will decide later.

today was quite a long day. i forgot i didnt take lunch until i reach home feeling hungry just now. the last break was from 935 to 1025. after that was 3 straight lectures followed by chem tutorial. then i went for ogl meeting. after that was band. so it went all the way from 1025 to 515. wow. i am super strong. lols. but band was slack thats why maybe i didnt feel hungry. if i were to continuously play for hours, i should have felt the hunger pangs earlier. haha.

and now, mummy will be late which means my dinner will be late too. maybe i should consider buying my own dinner yea. if not i will be starving! ah! i can snack on cny goodies. haha. then i will fall sick faster. THEN CAN MISS PHYSICS TEST ON FIRDAY! LOL!

anyway, today is 'ren ri' so HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYONE! :D

OHMYGOD!! i am 17 already!!! come on everybody! wish me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! whees~

i am so happy!! quite a no. of ppl sms-ed me to wish me happy birthday even though now it was just past midnight not too long ago :D i am sosososo happy!!!

and tricia! you are the first one to wish me a happy birthday!! LOVE YA!!

wow! 17 years ago, i was born on a wednesday and now 17 years later, i am celebrating my birthday on a wednesday too! cool! hees.

YAY~! today is my birthday!! whees!:D

i dont know if i should be happy or sad.

i got in for the ogl orientation 2 but i am not representing my house miranda! i am in triton and i am not happy about it cos it's like almost everyone in my class who sign up for the ogl got into miranda except for sin yi, monica and me. but good thing is, they got into the same group together--phobos.

though i dont have any of my classmates with me in miranda, i know there are quite a number of chung cheng-ers in triton like lihui and wengsiong.. but i am just sad that i cant be in the same house as my class.

so monica and me decided to appeal! we asked yu heng to help us ask his class comm if can change house. hopefully, it will be successful... the question now is, will i stay or will i go?

hello!!

have been doing loads of running these few days. esp during pe! today had to run round the track 5 rounds! so tiring! but might not be so as compared to the guys (they had to run 8 rounds). LOL. i guess all this running is just helping all of us to build up for the upcoming road race.

tmr gng for band prac. have heard a lot about the conductor but yet to see her. so i shall go have a look as well as to play the trombone:) but band prac will end super late like 8 plus and it starts at 530? so it's like i either have an early dinner or late dinner/supper.? most likely, it's gna be the former one.

and my internet connection is fine at last!! i am so so so happy!! finally can go online and use the comp! it feels great! :D

MJC fusion dance !



MJC couple dance !



another MJC mass dance, this time round based on the song 'Everybody'





nice?? :D

i think my blog here is far too wordy. need to add more pics to liven things up here.
shall place some pics that have been taken during new year's eve :)

fireworks!









me!



meixin and me :D



some pics from gena's bday celebrations..




birthday girl!









aww. i think i miss the trombone section! love ya trombone section'07!

azimuth was fun!! haha. if you dont know what is azimuth, that's the MJ orientation name!! i was in miranda 6 and the house name sounds like meridian.. then miranda sounds like my name amanda. so it's meridian-miranda-amanda. LOL!

one of our cheers for the house was like MI-MI-MIRANDA! "CLAP CLAP" "CLAP CLAP"
it can be A-A-AMANDA! "CLAP CLAP" "CLAP CLAP" too yea? hahaha. orientation is great but i am far too lazy to elaborate here. i would just say first day was playing games at different parts of the school. (their track is HUGE!) then second day, we went round singapore playing games! we went to 3 different zones, mainly at bugis, tampines and clarke quay. At these 3 zones,we went to like 3 to 4 places of it? it was extremely tiring! we had to run here run there play games, super exhausted! but the chung cheng ppl in my group are very enthu!! like when we were at the clarke quay zone, all 5 of us were among the first to reach the place!

the last day was wet and wild where i got rly wet!! i was soaked from the top to the bottom! as if i had just came out of the shower. but it was fun playing around esp with friends i had just made with during the orientation :D and i got sunburnt too ! cos we had to sit at the field under the scorching sun for quite a while so there was like a red line across my face? i didnt know my nose was so red! felt like rudolph. lol. then at night was the finale where we come out with a play like the 'chao ji bian bian bian'. my house performance was mainly about chess playing, very similar to the storyline in harry potter about the chess playing and what happens when the white pawns win the black ones..

my subgroup and the OGLs were HIGH even after the orientation ended! during the three days, we had to learn other house cheers too. so one of it i am gng to mention now is the atlas group. it goes like this..

WHAT YOU WANNA BE A ?

ATLAS WARRIOR!

WHAT YOU WANNA BE A ?

ATLAS WARRIOR!

WHAT TYPE?

NO.1 !

WHAT TYPE

NO.1 !

woooooaaaaaahhhhhhh! (stamping feet on the floor continuously).... ATLAS!


after the orientation, different houses had to do cleaning up at different places. so my group happen to be the one cleaning up the toilet :(

BUT! the toilets there are very clean! thanks to the MJ toilet cleaners :D

so on the way there, we sang that atlas cheer...

WHAT YOU WANNA BE A ?

TOILET CLEANER!

WHAT YOU WANNA BE A?

TOILET CLEANER!

WHAT TYPE?

NO.1 !

WHAT TYPE

NO.1 !

woooooaaaaaahhhhhhh! (stamping feet on the floor continuously).... TOILET CLEANER!


LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

my sub group waited for the OGLs to finish their debrief and we went to eat tgr at a nearby coffeshop in pasir ris. we wanted to go white sands foodcourt but by then it was alrdy 10 plus so the mall would have been closed alrdy. and thats why we had nowhere to go except the coffeeshop @ pasir ris central. not all of the OGMs joined us cos some were too tired while others wanted to go home or were waiting for their parents to fetch them. we ate and then we joked (about things we can say in chung cheng, but not in mj. got it? hees) by the time i reached home, it was exactly midnight!

very exhausted. but the three days had been fun :) there was fusion dance and couple dance as well during the three days. it was fun! but i keep forgetting dance steps for the couple dance one. LOL! and sometimes i turn to the wrong side too cos it's like the demonstrators are on stage performing for us to see but when they turn to the right we cant follow them and turn to the right cos their right is my left. thats why after the finale ytd, the OGLs were supposed to teach us another dance but they had no time so all of us just tried to learn on the spot and i rmb there was once where everyone turn to their left and i turn to the right! wow. that part was rly quite malu for me cos the OGLs were looking at me. and what i do?

of course quickly turn to the left lah! lol. yupyup. i think that should be all for the orientation and i am happy that all of us in miranda 6 are in the same class! yippee!!

1 cheer is not enough
2 cheers are not enough
3 cheers and 3 cheers and 3 cheers for M6!
HIP HIP! HOORAY!
HIP HIP! HOORAY!
HIP HIP! HOORAY~

:D

Today is the 1st Jan '08!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! :D

a new year together with new resolutions. wishing everyone happy and healthy ever and may there be world peace ! yay!




i'm missing a lil of my job.

argh!! i just typed a very long post and it got deleted! hmpf. shall not type too much now. well, i think i should just do a recap of what has been gng on in my life during the hols. for the last few weeks, i watched a lot a lot of dvds, like more than 10? haha. let's see!

1. hairspray
2. secret
3. fantastic 4
4. die hard 4
5. 881
6. the bourne ultimatium
7. night at the museum
8. rob-b-hood
9. happy feet
10.high school musical
11.rush hour 3
12.qian bei bu zui

and the movie 'enchanted' i watched with xiaotian and gena! we watched @ AMK hub and we actually got it at 6 bucks! i think it's because the cinema is a new one that's why there's a student promotion. hees.

okay, so other than watching loads of dvds, i got myself a job @ genki sushi :) started working on the 7th dec. and it's also mainly beacuse of my job that's why i seldom blog. finally have some time to slack and that's why i am here! working @ genki has been quite alright although sometimes i dont rly like the things that i have to do >.< but after a while, it just gets alright. cos like what my supervisor says, girls coming out to work must be like guys who are willing to do tough jobs cos when you are outside, no one can always help you, even if you're a girl. this is how the earth spins yea? this week is gna be my last week working at genki and i think i am gna miss those ppl i have worked with for the past 3 weeks or so. the ppl there have been friendly and nice, and i wonder when we will ever work tgr or meet up agn. it just seems impossible when i think of it. there are 4 servers @ genki and all of us are leaving tgr. one will be gng back to phillipines, the other gng to enlist in NS, and the remaining two, inclusive of me, are gng back to school to study. i will miss my supervisor too cos she's the first friend i made in my job and she has taught me quite a lot of things too. she said she's gna quit too next year and that means most of the colleagues i worked with now will be leaving soon, except for the manager and the kitchen crew i guess. will miss those days we work tgr.. am i getting emo? but i was indeed upset when i heard all of us are leaving. wonder if they feel emo too. haha. hopefully i get to work on new year's eve then i can take pic with all of them and keep it as a memento. i just get upset when i realised that i may not be able to keep in contact with my friends..

anyway, i went to escape theme park ytd. i was so looking forward to it, thinking that even though gena can't play those thrilling rides with me cos of her heart problem, i can always play it with xiaotian, joanne, wanqi and her sis. but it turned out to be quite a disappointment :( firstly, those fun rides like revolution, pirate ship and kite-flyer were closed for maintenance!!! the indoor roller-coaster was not opened and i think it's beacuse of the incident of the 2 sisters.. and! i realised that xiaotian and the rest dont rly dare to take thrilling rides! ahhhhh!! and so, i had to take inverter on my own. >.< so brave of me yea? didnt regret it though cos i was rly fun and exciting! though it can get very scary when you are inverted esp the part where you will be hung upside down for like 5 to 10 seconds?, it's still thrilling!!

flume ride was equally fun too except for the second round when i had to lug my belongings with me:( the first time round, gena offered to help all of us to take our bags but seeing us having so much fun on the flume ride, she decided to join us on the second time. so at that time we didnt have anybody to help us carry our bags and it would also be very wasteful to get a locker cos we will be leaving the theme park soon. and the escape theme park workers cant help us take care of our belongings so we had no choice but to bring it along with us. it was a burden for me to carry my genki uniform and marching shoes in the pastic bag tgr with my bag, esp when i was told by my manager that i dont have to work on that day later. i had to fold and place the plsatic bag between my legs and then put my bag as far behind as possible to keep it from being wet. i was so afraid that my plastic bag will fly off when we were down the slide cos the speed was rly fast!

and dont ever think that flume ride is the one that will get you the wettest cos if you think this way, you're totally wrong. the ride that i got wettest turn out to be the bumper boat! and i got fooled by the owrker there when he told me to put on safety belt when there was none! so suaku and malu! lol. snd i got sprayed by outsiders! so i fought back and eventually chased them away! haha. but i got myself totally drenched too. there happened to be 6 bumper boats available so all of us played tgr, shooting water at every person we see, thereby explaining the reason why we got so wet. haha. we played other games too like the family coaster, flipper, rainbow, and the kiddy aeroplane. and oh, the haunted mansion! the haunted mansion was rly scary but i think it's mainly because we were scaring ourseleves. the one part that i got so scared was when i couldnt find the exit! i went hysterical and got so panicky. it was freaky esp when you are in the dark and you cant make out what's in front of you. i was super relieved when we finally found the exit. it was great to see the azure sky once again and gena was laughing at us when she saw us coming out. i think we were rly frightened.

got a complimentary ticket to escape so i will be gng there agn with them! hopefully, all the rides will be opened on that day and none will be under maintenance! then i can have loads and loads of fun!

HAIRSPRAY!! i rented the dvd and watched it today and ytd!! it's a great movie!! lots of singing and dancing, a very light-hearted movie :D

and most of all, there is....



ZAC EFRON! ahhhh! so handsome! he is so shuai in the movie! i love his slick moves and his oh-so-nice vocals! hahaha. nikki blonsky and brittany snow are so lucky to act alongside him! LOL. oooh! i love zac efron :D

and i am also beginnning to like wu zun again :) all because of gong zhu xiao mei. it's quite a nice show and there are only 13 episodes so can finish quite fast. i have finished watching 2 episodes alrdy. gna go catch the remaining ones later :D

tata!

today is my free day!! :D YAY~

it's like my first time staying at home in the afternoon using the comp ever since holidays have started. i have been gng out too much that i miss staying at home using the comp :(

but coming to think of it, i didnt actually like say, go shopping or go catch a movie blah blah. gng out was like mainly repairing phone and looking for a job :( quite saddening yea. but at ;east i got a job now! whees~

gena sms-ed me just now to tell me that she has cut her hair. i knew sth was wrong when she told me she cut her hair. cos cutting hair is no big deal actually. but this time round, the deal is quite big eh. she cut her hair until the length was like shorter than jessica?! (that's what she said. i have yet to see it)

it's lke OH MY GOSH?! but i knew she had always harboured a thought of cutting her hair at that kind of length. i think it would be so weird when we meet up in the future. cos my mum has allowed me to keep long hair (she thinks i look very childish with short hair. HAHA!) it's gna be like total opposite! the one with long hair turns out to be the one with short hair while the one with short hair turns out to be the one with long hair. HAHA! but i wont keep my hair at the same length as gena's previous one. that would be too much of a hassle for me. lol.

my phone is officially a year old~! woots! HOORAY~

but i suppose i will lose many photos which i have taken for the past year. sigh. never mind. at least i can still claim most back from jessica. and i have to apologise to her again, whether she sees it, for the trouble i have caused the past few days. SORRY JESSICA!

anyway, i got a job! YAY! at long last! after numerous rejections and failures, i have finally secured myself a job! i'm gng to work at genki sushi! jessica,jasmine and i went for the interview but unfortunately only jasmine and i got the job. i think jessica didnt get the job mainly because she is only 15 i guess. and another unfortunate thing is we are situated at diff outlets of genki! :( boohoo! which means i will have to work there alone >.<

and oh, escape theme park entrance fee is only at 7 bucks, i wna go!!

i hope my phone can be repaired and be used for once and for all. i cant stand it when my phone is back from repair and apoilt again. ahhh!

in the first place, i should not have gone to the photography shop to print out the picture. what's worse waa i never even hand in the picture and now it has caused me so much distress. i wasted so much time and my transport fare on my phone and now i might even cause jessica's comp to have virus.

god. i hope everything is alright with her comp. i rather is my phone that is spoilt cos at the most i will just get the sony ericsson ppl to repair or upgrade the software again.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tml is yet another interview for me. but at least for this one, i do see some light shedding for me. so hopefully, it will turn out fine. i will be gng with jasmine and jessica(they take in 15 year olds too!) and i pray that we will be tgr in the same outlet! that will be very fun! not like in mini toons, cos if you go with yr friend, the both of you must be situated at different outlets. so bad right?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

until now, i am still upset and grieved by the dragon boat tragedy. sigh. i wonder how the bereaved family are coping when even me, as a stranger, cant even take the blow too.
