AJChoir 10-11 & 11-12! ♥♥♥

ajchoir farewell yesterday. it was fun, cold, tiring, reminiscing and emotional. started off kind of awkward but towards the end it got better with all the games, speeches and lastly no importa. ♥ probably the last time we'll get to sing our anthem with the seniors. :/ then took photos, they look so colourful. (Y)

special thanks to these seniors who're important or played a huge role in my ajchoir life so far:

Joanna, Huisze, Jessica, Nica, Teckchuan, Shaun, Renjun, Junwei, Nicholas. thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. :) though i know your won't see this. no importa la distancia! ♥

this will probably be my last post till after retests... tmrw onwards chiong like siao already!! >.< till next time...!

2011-11-11T19:27:00.000+08:00

today is 11/11/11, where couples/friends/families get together. it is special for me too, but in another way. realised many important things today, things that i knew but wasn't so certain of. now i'm pretty sure yeah. pw gone = liberation! (Y) the past weeks have been fun, going out and all. but now i just seem to be getting sick of it all. monday's the big day; whether i'll promote or retest depends on fate already. still have to perform for ms leong before the verdict.. :S had to go back to school for a rehearsal sigh. travelling time twice that of time spent in school. :/ totally waste time.

idk what's up with me today. pms-ing throughout the whole duration out of home. in choir room, it's like me & the choir. we're in two separate rooms. i can't hear any of them talking, laughing, chatting. even conducting was a chore. everyone looked so tired, so restless. well duh, asking us to come back at such short notice, even justine was pissed. the emo-ing became worse especially on the journey home. thank goodness friends showed concern. <3 the usual few who i cherish so, and a couple of unexpected souls. this quote "funny how life works, isn't it :)" by limzui really makes sense and cheered me up a lot. :) thank you!

As just started.. see many complaints on fb and twitter everyday. aiyo cambridge... why every year getting harder? :/ meaning next year also gone case la... wonder how i managed to survive one year of jc life.. so torturous and mentally draining. and i'm only half done! T.T stupid competitive education system... no degree = no future. how to survive like that? aiyo.

2011-10-26T01:21:00.005+08:00

27/11 Outing 3 (ECP):

my quirky, unique, everything-last-minute-but-still-get-things-done pw group. :D no hendddddddrik! :/

the outing was really fun, best out of the two i've been to! :) i'm so glad that we've grown closer; from complete strangers to quite awesome friends! :)

J2s Farewell Assembly:

1st ever ajchoir J1 performance in school. hope the seniors could feel us as we sang itsumo. :')
as much as the effort we put in for this performance, irregardless of pe dept who wasted our time so much.
it was all worth it. ^^

jo! my sop1 sl! :D

fellow sop! :D

fellow Westerner/bitch :D

awesome gor! :D

musico! ♥ -in the girls toilet- :P

:(

2011-10-11T23:43:00.000+08:00

who would be there?
...

to lend me a listening ear and be my source of emotional comfort?

:(

who truly cares?

2011-10-04T17:25:00.001+08:00

sometimes i get all sorts of surprises, and loads of conflicting emotions.

i thought my judgement of people around me were good, but they aren't.

i don't truly realise those who really care, those who bother to talk to me, or those supporting me quietly from behind. take them all for granted.

those who i habitually assume as nice people or good confidantes, they aren't that approachable "internally".

there are of course people whom i can trust, confide in whenever and ever, and have heart-to-heart chats with during my "emo-ish nights". they're the best. ♥ very few, but precious.

i do treasure the people around me, in my way; the zoe way.

promos... D:

2011-09-29T00:34:00.000+08:00

effectively 4 more days now...
It is definitely not easy, even with the everyday studying mindset. life just gets monotonous with all the pw nonsense and mundane process of practicing and memorisng. but we can choose what perspective we're looking from ain't it? how're we gonna do that when everyone's just anxious about the end result - to pass.? i wonder if that's truly learning at all. what's the whole point of it when we're simply following this set of "formulas", as Mr. Bell himself said it to clear our exams and move on? the intention is purposeful, but overall outcome unjustified. practicality as they said it? who on earth said that this is the only route to a prospectful future? it is ultimately the best and most reasonable analogy but there are always exceptions. it's just that we aren't brave enough to pick up that challenge for who would want to risk our future? few would. this is the sad reality of life. study hard --> get a degree --> get a good job with a reasonable pay --> relatively luxurious lifestyle or higher. not this way, then cannot survive. true?

was listening to "forever and always" by parachute last morning 1am. it was kind of the trigger, like UV light of free radical subsitution. suddenly sparked an influx of emotions and i just started crying. the tears flowed fast and free, like an overflowing tap. everything just linked themselves together and gushed out of my whole system. i could literally feel the knife stabbing through my heart as i sat on my bed and my pillow became more damp by the minute. thought of how bad i had been, relationship-wise, attitude-wise and behaviour-wise. so inconsiderate, not caring about anyone else, in my own delusional world of "studying" without sparing a thought for others. thought of the cold war with my sis for one month already, still ongoing.. and how mum always flares up.. not because she's fussy, because she cares. and how dad told me to go sleep but i simply replied in a curt manner "ok lah".

...

i need to change. i will change.

promos.... X.X

2011-09-13T00:09:00.000+08:00

3 more weeks left... must pull through!! >.<
*motivation**motivation**motivation*

...

please come to me now! :/

2011-08-09T18:30:00.000+08:00

The month of August:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!! :D

stress. :/

2011-07-31T00:20:00.002+08:00

when it comes to times like this when you're feeling the pressure sinking in you don't know what to really talk about and so you just rant and spam and use words to occupy text spaces in a bid to relax a little but you know that all's futile because the stress will never go away till after you fully pass your promos.

mycts.

2011-06-26T23:38:00.000+08:00

mycts commence tmrw.

...

*stone*

._.

i'm screwed.

in a way or another. >.<

...

choir...
vocal consort?
yes or no?
studies how?

...

chatting with friends heal everything temporarily.
thankful for them. :)

and now back to...

*stoning*

wow.

2011-06-15T21:33:00.000+08:00

i just realised a lot of my friends have either changed or are in relationships. hais.

i miss ajchoir...

2011-06-15T12:40:00.000+08:00

i'm back here posting because i miss chorale singing. ah well shall post about syf critiques for the pure sake of it, and to cheer myself up a little bit. :>

Anderson Junior College Choir

First choir of the day that managed to convince me that it was of gold with honours calibre the moment the four sections formed a chord. I think it was not long after they started singing. The sound was full, warm and robust. All four sections were equally competent, allowing them to achieve a perfectly balanced sound. Every chord formed was pure gold. There was virtually nothing much to pick on, apart from how their third piece being a little too controlled and subdued for my liking. Granted it was an extremely difficult piece (Qua Rico E Mambo) to pull off, I still feel that they could have pushed the dynamics a little more towards the end, and finish off more impressively. Nonetheless, they were clearly a notch above all the choirs that had performed, and were truly deserving of the Gold with Honours award they've managed to attain.

Prediction: Gold with Honours
Actual: Gold with Honours

how proud i am to be in ajchoir. definitely didn't make the wrong choice then. :) it has been an eventful journey this past semester, with the j2 seniors. SYF, and then Limelight; too surreal to be true. after mycts, the j1s will be left alone to go the distance. i'm sure we'll be able to do it with our burning passion. :) continue living the legacy of the choir. :> no importa la distancia, we have a long way to go. press on for promos, and j2s jiayou for As. >.< hope to be able to go for carolling. :>

till then, it's back to mugging now. :/

sighs.

2011-06-14T01:11:00.000+08:00

gosh mycts in two weeks time... what have i been doing man. :/ currently very annoyed due to GPP. basic english errors seriously?.. and no choir. just makes things worse. if only choir's a subject. how nice that would be. i'll excel best in that subject then hurhur.

2011-05-16T23:41:00.001+08:00

wheeee~~ well done ajchoir for the GOLD WITH HONOURS!! XD
the feeling was so damn awesome when junwei started jumping around and everybody started screaming, cheering, jumping for joy, hugging, congratulating each other.. :D words couldn't express our joy and relief then.. :) love ajchoir ttm man. ^^ no importa after that, was sweating rather than crying LOL.

limelight: vestiges of time was awesome too! :D a concert with only 4 days of preparations is considered quite good alr. :) with all the choreo and all... ^^ first time crying for no importa, when i thought of how this is the last performances with the j2s alr, about how i'm so gonna miss them after they step down... and all the blood, sweat, tears and sacrifices made for syf and this concert.. sighs. i love you seniors!! <3 (though i think none of your will see this!) sincerity from my heart alone will suffice, i hope. :)

truths.

2011-05-01T00:14:00.000+08:00

truths

sometimes everyone wants to know the truth. but how's that good? can be a bad truth, can be a good truth, but usually bad.

conclusion: it's better not to know anything. act dumb, whatever. as the saying goes: ignorance is bliss.
gets you out of trouble anyway.

ajchoir

it's 4 days to syf now. after so many months of hard work and the past few practices (before 2nd choir exchange) there seemed to be no hope of getting gwh. thankfully for mr kwei's scolding and wake up call on wednesday. (section talk + crying + emotions + singing of no importa) we've been producing quality sound for this whole week. i hope we'll improve from now till syf and reach our peak on 4th may. :) really wanna experience the joy of getting gwh after so many years in choir. i love ajchoir really. love how we sing tgt, practice tgt, harmonise tgt and so many stuff. i love the seniors, particularly a few. :) can't bear for them to step down.. some seniors i know for 6 months alr. sigh. people come and go, this is life.
one for all, all for one. it's either we make it or break it. gwh you're in sight, you're also in reach.

CHOIR CAMP '11!!

2011-03-19T11:25:00.000+08:00

choir camp '11, a resounding success.! :) i don't know about how others think, but in my opinion it was one of the best camps i've ever attended! unique in a sense it's a sole choir camp, unique in another way it helped with the bonding part too. :)

day one: ice breakers first, and group one was certainly the hyper one! XD Denyse, QianHui, Me, (CTSS whoo!!) Gisela, Joey, Shaun, Clarence, Gerald Lim & Jonas. we rock hahaha! then sectionals, was kind of boring but we persevered (Gilbert & Sullivan songs). No Importa sectionals and then G&S again. after that, break and the J1s went to bathe. then J1s Dawn Wind with JunWei. well, we kind of sound alright but not as good as the seniors yet. :/ "it's all about balance.." 'horror' movie in LT2 and it was time for nightwalk wahaha! must thank the seniors for scaring us, i know they themselves were scared as well. :X that's why i try not to scare them too. some people who did scare them were really too much in a sense. -.- haha i screamed for literally almost every station sighs.

day two: PT in the morning. choir running together while singing random songs like "happy birthday", "school song", "NDP songs" was really (Y). then games in our groups. well done group one, we won like every game station!! :D the school uncles and aunties are all so nice, lend denyse slippers. my slippers broke and gerald lent me mine, so nice. love our group banner and group cheer!! XD "woooahhhhhh~~" :D first time digging watermelon with our bare fingers; gross, but nevertheless, the sweetest watermelon i've ever tasted. :) getting wet was fun and worth it too. yeah man. ^^ mambo dance lesson was (Y) too. whole choir dancing tgt, you know that feeling of accomplishment and togetherness. :P

overall choir camp's really one to remember. :) must really thank the teachers, organising committee, food comm and the seniors for making it such a memorable one. :D AJChoir ♥ sing.feel.love

end of jc term one

2011-03-11T21:09:00.000+08:00

today marks the end of term one of jc life. ah well, it's really hectic and tiring. i'm alr physically and mentally drained in a way. :( what's good is that i've made new friends in my pdg and choir's making good progress. :) gwh coming our way! :D looking forward to tmrw's exchange, hope that we won't get owned.!

tired.

2011-02-24T23:34:00.002+08:00

ah well... it's been some time since i last posted.!

jc life... loads of twists and turns...

and not to mention daily backaches and fatigue!

when proper timetable starts, that's it man.

my side fringe has long been gone and i kind of miss it after so many years.

hahs lol.

life is never easy. just press on.

brand new start.

2011-02-06T23:30:00.000+08:00

jc life has officially started and it's orientation tmrw.

ah well i hope it turns out alright though im not expecting much really.

hehs omg it's the first time im feeling in this particular way...

not related to jc life or wtv.

sighs i wanna talk to someone.

eventful!

2011-01-18T13:55:00.002+08:00

so much has happened these few weeks...

1) Collection of os results. well, i didn't do too badly, neither that good too. but i guess i was quite relieved that this whole thing is finally over. esp Amath; prelims i got E8, then for os i got A2.! so i was feeling disappointed about my L1R5, then i called various people to let them know my results. as i was reading out the grade received for each subject, i just cried, esp Amath lol... i'm glad that i did way better for most subjects, though a few were disappointing... :( POA and Chem could have been better i guess. :/ and hmt was kind of a surprise! :D

2) Choosing my subject combi. really dk what to choose... good thing is i don't need to participate in JAE. a few poly courses appealed greatly to me, no harm glancing through heh! :P i guess i'll go with LCME, LH1. yep that's what i intend to go for..., science stream! hope i don't make the wrong decision!. >.< i know JC's gonna be very hectic, tough and tiring, but there's nothing i can do. i'm gonna embrace it and face what's to come bravely; be it academics, choir or travelling time.

3) AJChoir. so i've spend around 2-3 months getting to know the choir (seniors/speed of learning etc). i don't think that there's another choir more suitable for me. i've never experienced anything like this before.. i.e. learning of songs can be completed so quickly, every section is strong and can sing their own parts properly, the blending of SATB voices... on top of that, discipline is in place and nobody uses vulgarities or anything like that. there's no need to shout to get attention and everybody complies readily. the seniors are really nice and treat the DSAs well.. (at least for the girls :D) compared with CTchoir, what more can i ask for?! i can't wait to get my first GOLD-WITH-HONOURS this year...! xD i know that AJChoir will be able to get G/H. speaking of which, it's the only college with the most number of activities/practices during the holidays...

--> caroling. i didn't attend, but i went to watch! i've also learnt a few of the carols and they're awesome. ^^

--> aj open house. damn awesome! :D performing on stage with a solid choir, roaming around in 2 seperate groups and singing random songs, ACAPELLA.! (Y) you hardly see that in CTchoir.! the climax was nearing the end of open house.. the choir was singing at the foyer with the last of people leaving. we started with songs like "stand by me", "lion sleeps tonight", "joy to the world" etc. then "no importa" was the last song. i stood there and we swayed while we sang; it was the first time i felt like closing my eyes. with the harmonious blending of voices and the atmosphere and everything, i felt what the seniors have been saying all these while. i dint feel that singing this song at choir room, nor in the hall on stage..; but at the foyer i did have this sudden urge to cry. yeah, it was incredibly awesome. :') made me stunned for a few minutes...

--> and more activites to come...!

Mr. Kwei came ytd and practice was super productive!.. ^^

4C1'10 farewell dinner for Kathy tonight, hope all goes well! :)

it's time to move on...

os results!

2011-01-10T01:46:00.000+08:00

it's gonna be os results in 12 hours, good luck everyone!! :)

happy new year!!

2011-01-03T18:20:00.003+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all!! :)

i'd actually wanted to post about my new year resolutions, but i guess even if i do have them, i won't really fulfill them. so no point heh.

instead, i'd rather talk about the dream i had ytd.. well, in fact more like a NIGHTMARE.. =.=

somehow it was the date of the result of os, and i got a rude shock seeing my results list.

there was only one A1, E or A math i think. the rest were all Bs, and English was E8 while HMT F9.

woah omg so jialat man, it felt so surreal i thought that's the end of my life.!

my L1R5 was 11 or 13 i cant rmb, but how can that be? only one A?!.. hahaha.

woke up feeling quite uneasy sheesh. :X

read two books "Voices in Summer" and "The End of Summer" before i left for Europe, both by Rosamunde Pilcher. Not too bad i must say.

in the aeroplane to Dubai/Europe i cant rmb, i watched "The Last Song" and "Letters to Juliet".

guess what, i just finished reading "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks last night.

he's forever my all-time favourite author. :)

awesome book and a tear-jerker too.

currently reading "Message in a Bottle" by him too.., hope it turns out as great in the end. :D

right os results coming out in a week's time, scared! x.x

I'm Truly a Choir Girl Forever.

2010-12-27T13:19:00.000+08:00

Copied this directly from my note on fb...

Just randomly thinking of how far choir has got me in my growing up years. I really can't imagine what if I had joined badminton over choir in primary three (2003)... I think my life would probably have been very different.

I was probably the youngest member and the first of my batch to join JPS choir, and I felt rather scared when I first attended my first practice. Choir seemed fun, and I was allocated to alto by Ms Jessy Oskar, the choir instructor then. I was later transferred to soprano one (I have no idea why too) and I felt rather unhappy to leave alto. Little did I know how soprano one suited me like honeydew and sago. Choir was really fun, and I was the soloist in the Chinese Folk Song Singing Competition, held in CTSS, which I never expected to land up in 4 years later. In pri 4, 5, and 6, more members of my batch joined choir. We sang and harmonised together, and attended syfs with much anticipation. 2 golds in 2004 and 2006, how proud we all were. Many of us continued our journey in choir as we entered a new phase of life - secondary school.

No need to think at all, my first choice will definitely have to be choir. CT chorale, a choir that has gone through many ups and downs in the years I've been in CT. Sec one was awesome; syf year, and the seniors were just fantastic people. I should have learnt to cherish 2007, for it was probably the best and most carefree out of all 4 years. Silver, still not too bad actually. Then in sec 2, that was the year when all my horrors began. Was appointed as sop one SL and pianist. All the SLs were in my batch, and we had to start leading when we were only still in lower sec. Gosh, how difficult those times were... Loads of uncertainty and mental breakdowns; and times when I just cried in front of the choir, who seemed nonchalent and just ridiculed our capabilities. Thank goodness for the seniors' support and encouragement, for I wouldn't know how I'd have survived those times. In sec 3, I was appointed as the choir VP; ok at least we're now in upper sec. Never did we know that we'd gotten ourselves a bronze for syf... I totally cried my lungs out on the way back to school heh. Not that we weren't putting effort in our songs, it's just that Ms Khor didn't focus on the basics but just simply performance etiquette and the more detailed things. That's why we failed horribly. That's when I told myself that no matter what, I want to enter a good jc choir and further develop my potential in music and singing. Mr Foong took us in sec 4 (2010) and perhaps there was a glimmer of hope. I'm really glad that now after my batch has stepped down, the choir is making good progress. I hope that the choir will do well and bring back hopefully a gold for syf next year. There's no denying though, that all the leadership roles assigned to me have helped boost my confidence and leadership skills.

My results ain't that fantastic, and due to my burning desire to regain those awesome long lost choir days, I decided maybe I should DSA then. Try AJ/SA/AC??? However I got a rude shock when I realised after some time that the dates of audition are all closed. Right I'll just try AJC then, since the choir's under Mr. Kwei. Dad called the school up and bragged a bit about my achievements, and alas! I could go down for an audition. Was really nervous and all, and prepared questions like crazy! That day only one other girl and guy auditioned. No questions asked, simply warm-ups. I thought I did fairly ok. Then ms lee (choir teacher ic) told me to go for an interview! Round one successful!! The questions that dad practiced with me mostly all came out, and I could answer confidently at ease. Thank goodness! Few days later my iPhone got some problem, and I was frustrated. Switched back to my old phone, and a message from ms lee told me that I've been offered a place in AJ. I screamed in the middle of the night lol!.
Am oh so glad that the choir's so much like a family, and so much more reputable than any other choir i've ever been in. Delighted to be a part of it. :)
Choir has enriched my life, and only people like me who's so passionate about choir can understand where I'm coming from.

Yay choir! xD
Once a choir girl, forever a choir girl.

new life!! :D

2010-12-18T01:06:00.000+08:00

whoo Europe was awesome!! ^^

pictures and all are on fb! (only half uploaded though!)

well, im moving forward and that's for sure. :)

im really stepping into a new phase of life.

but i also can't bear to leave my past behind.

all those good memories.

but im sure there'll be better memories ahead of me. :)

kudos to my new life! ^^

again! :D

2010-11-24T22:18:00.000+08:00

haha 3 posts in a row! :D

i'm super free!

yet with mixed feelings and slightly guilty. :/

won't be involved in carolling at all, cuz i'll be missing tons of practices to have enough time to learn and even memorise all 16 carols.

if i'm not wrong, the dsas only learnt 3 songs. :S

yeah i really enjoy choir now, though travelling time > 1h, it is well worth it.

syf piece is nice. but i fear if i don't attend practice and only appear in the last week of dec, i'll be missing out on a lot and it's not good at all. :(

but still... Europe. 6 european countries, halfway stop at Colombo and Dubai.

so its 8, who can't resist lol!

and i haven't had a chance to go kbox as planned, which is disappointing. :(

at least HP's cleared.

the library should seriously stock up more.. i can't find the books that i want. >.<

New beginnings by Nora Roberts

2010-11-24T22:04:00.001+08:00

it's awfully small, but the best i could find.

"New Beginnings" by Nora Roberts and Maeve Binchy.

it all started out in j/w library, when i was desperate for a good novel.

this seemingly brand new, appealing book lying amidst torn and tattered books caught my eye.

Goodbye is the hardest word of all...

After a long and happy marriage, the death of March Cantrell's husband leaves a huge gap in her life.

At least March has her family as support. But the following months see her sons in conflict, her youngest child fleeing the nest and her rebellious daughter dating a much older man.

To heal the growing rifts, the Cantrells spend Christmas in the mountains of Lake Tahoe. During a storm March becomes stranded with a stranger, Rio Paxton - and finds herself captivated by this charismatic man.

Weeks later, March returns to Tahoe and is unexpectedly joined by Rio. What starts as a chance meeting between two lonely people becomes something much more.

Her children think she has lost her mind - but March wonders if this is just the new beginning she has been waiting for...

was super boring at the start; just as i was about to give up on this book one quarter through, it just gets better with every flip of the page.

a poignant and uplifting tale about love and loss, family and fate.

good read. :)

and this Rio Paxton fellow pictured as this musically-inclined, talented singer..

seems too perfect to exist! haha.

the main character March just seems to be the perfect mum (not that perfect as an individual though) in her childrens' eyes. (provided you don't include the times when she breaksdown after her husband's unfateful death.)

she makes sure that all four of her children are treated equally and sees to their affairs personally.

career in place, proper education, proper marriage etc.

every child sets her mind at rest eventually. :)

and their kinship is close, super close.

really envy that haha!

i wonder if i'll be a good mum in future.. (that's if i have children :))

i think i will be. :D

HP 7 :)

2010-11-24T21:36:00.002+08:00

i actually loved it! in fact, its the best out of the 7! :)

ron was as epic as ever, dobby simply cute and brave, and all 3 leads played their roles extremely well! :D

i also felt that their acting skills have also improved a fair bit heh.

the part when ron and harry were having a heated argument about harry's plan on destroying the horcruxes. (Y)

dobby, a free elf, saved harry potter's and his friends' lives.

that was a tear-jerker scene. :'(

haha and harry and ginny's kiss was epic! (when george burst in and said in his deep and mischievous voice "morning!")

hahaha. :)

harry's and hermione's dance was rather unexpected and abrupt! (o'children by nick cave)

but it was evident harry wanted to cheer hermione up cuz of ron's departure...

and have some fun as teens, which they had been missing out hunting the horcruxes.

no no no why does everyone say harry and hermione are lovers?!

they're just best friends so it's natural thay they show each other concern this way.

ron and hermione are the compaitable ones! :)

yeah it's really touching to witness some solid friendship they display there.

wish that my friendships will be long-lasting and concrete too yeah. :)

oh bill weasley made his first appearance. ;D

you know hahaha.

feel like watching it all over again.!

anticipating part 2 like mad, and it's all over!

HP done after so many years... :(

hmm this magical world that seems so surreal does not even exist but yet people, young or old, can't help but plunge into this incredulity.

awesome. (Y)

the boy who lived, the master of death.

2010-11-13T00:03:00.001+08:00

chem paper was alright today, mistakes there of course. :/ but well, good news is one more paper left! Bad news is I'll feel rather lost after os end. Seriously it's so quick and sudden, haven't really come to terms with this yet. :X was thinking of getting some part-time job (piano instuctor lol?) but apparently I have absolutely no time to spare. Ajc alr called me up to go for choir practice, which starts on Monday right after the bio paper. Still thought can go sing karaoke or rehearse for class perf, but yeah. Straight away after bio. Well it's for the good of us to start early and I'm feeling quite excited about it. :P not to mention a tad of anxiety. Ah well another phase of my life. Can't wait!! xD hope I won't get a shock when I see my o level results next mid jan.

A Girl Who Felt Ignored

by Unknown

This story is about a girl who felt ignored..

I have a boyfriend who grew up with me. His name is Jin.
I always thought of him as a friend until last year, when we went to a trip from a club, I found out that I fell in love with him.
Before the trip was over, I took a step and confessed my love for him.
And soon, we became a pair of lovers, but we loved each other in different ways.
I always concentrated on him only, but by his side, there was so many other girls.
To me, he was the only one, but to him, maybe I was just another girl...
"Jin, do you want to go watch a movie?" I asked.
"I can't"
"Why? You need to study at home?" I felt disappointment grabbing me.
"No... I am going to meet a friend..."
He was always like that.
He met girls in front of me, like it was nothing.
To him, I was just a girlfriend.
The word 'love' only came out of my mouth.
Since I knew him, I had never heard I'm say 'I love you' before.
To us, there weren't any anniversaries at all.
He didn't say anything from the first day and it continued till 1O0 days...2O0 days...
Everyday, before we say goodbye, he would just hand me a doll, everyday, without fail. I don't know why...
Then one day...
Me: Um, Jin, I...
Jin: What...don't drag, just say...
Me: I love you.
Jin: ...........you.....um, just take this doll and go home.
That was how he ignored my 'three words' and handed me the doll.
Then he disappeared, like he was running away.
The dolls I received from him everyday, filled my room, one by one.
There were many....
Then one day came, my 15th year old birthday.
When I got up in the morning, I pictured a party with him, and stranded myself in my room, waiting for his call.
But... lunch passed, dinner passed...and soon the sky was dark... he still didn't call.
It was already tiring to look at the phone anymore.
2am in the morning, he suddenly called me and woke me from my sleep.
He told me to come out of the house.
Still. I felt joy and I ran out happily.
Me: Jin...
Jin: Here...take this...
Again, he handed me a little doll.
Me: What's this?
Jin: I didn't give it to you yesterday, so I am giving it to you now.
I'm going home now, bye.
Me: Wait, wait! Do you know what today is?
Jin: Today? Huh?
I felt so sad, I thought he would remember my birthday.
He turned around and walked away like nothing had happened.
Then I shouted...
"Wait..."
Jin: You have something to say?
Me: Tell me, tell me you love me...
Jin: What?!
Me: Tell me
I put my pathetic self behind and clung onto him.
But he just said simple cold words and left.
"I don't want to say...that I love someone so easily, if you are desperate to hear it, then find someone else."
That was what he said. Then ran off...
My legs felt numb...and I collapsed to the ground. He didn't want to say it easily...
How could he...
I felt that...
Maybe he is not the right guy for me...
After that day, I stranded myself at home crying, just crying.
He didn't call me, although I was waiting.
He just continued handing me a little doll every morning outside my house.
That's how those dolls piled up in my room... everyday
After a month, I got myself together and went to school.
But what made the pain resurface was that.... I saw him on a street...with another girl...
He had a smile on his face, one that he never showed me...as he touched the doll...
I ran straight back home and looked at the dolls in my room, and tears fell...
Why did he gave these to me...
Those dolls are probably picked out by some other girls...
In a fit of anger, I threw the dolls around.
Then suddenly, the phone rang. It was him.
He told me to come out to the bus stop outside my house.
I tried to calm myself down and walked to the bus stop.
I kept reminding myself that I am going to forget him, that....its going to end.
Then he came into my sight, holding a big doll.
Jin: Jo, I thought you were pissed, you really came?
I couldn't help hating him, acting like nothing had happened and joking around.
Soon, he held out the doll as usual...
Me: I don't need it.
Jin: What....why...
I grabbed the doll from his hands and threw it on the road.
Me: I don't need this doll, I don't need it anymore!! I don't want to see a person like you again!
I spitted out all the words that were inside me. But unlike other days, his eyes were very shaky.
"I'm sorry" He apologized in a tiny voice.
He then walked over to the road to pick up the doll...
"You stupid! Why are you picking up the doll?! Just throw it away!!!"
But he ignored me and just went to pick the doll.
Then...
Honk~ Honk~
With a loud honk, a big truck was heading towards him.
"Jin! Move! Move away!" I shouted...
But he didn't hear me, he squatted down and picked up the doll.
"Jin, move!"
HONK~!!!
"Boom!" That sound, so terrifying.
That's how he went away from me.
That's how he went away without evening opening his eyes to say one word to me.
After that day, I had to go through everyday with guiltiness and the sadness of losing him...
And after spending two months like a crazy person...
I took out the dolls.
Those were the only gifts he left me since the day we started going out.
I remembered the days I spent with him and started to count the days... when we were in love...
"One...two... three..."
That was how... I started to count the dolls...
"Four hundred and eighty four... four hundred and eighty five..."
It all ended with 485 dolls.
I then started to cry again, with a doll in my arms.
I hugged it tightly, then suddenly...
"I love you~, I love you~"
I dropped the dolls, shocked.
"I....lo..ve...you??"
I picked up the dolls and pressed its stomach.
"I love you~ I love you~"
It can't be!
I pressed all the dolls' stomach as it piled on the side.
"I love you~"
"I love you~"
"I love you~"
Those words came out non-stop.
I...love you...
Why didn't I realize that.....
That his heart was always by my side, protecting me.
Why didn't I realize that he love me this much...
I took out the doll under the bed and pressed it's stomach, that was the last doll, the one that fell on the road.
It had his blood stain on it.
The voice came out, the on that I was missing so much...
"Jo...Do you know what today is? We've been loving each other for 486 days. Do you know what 486 is? I couldn't say I love you.... Um... since I was too shy... If you forgive me and take this doll, I will say that i love you... everyday... till I die... Jo... I love you..."
The tears came flowing out of me. Why? Why? I asked god, why do I only know about all this now?
He can't be by my side, but he loved me until his last minute...
For that... and for that reason... to me... it became courage... to live a beautiful life...

finally after so long!

2010-11-03T23:28:00.001+08:00

wow i realised that i had not blogged for more than a month. so i purposely logged on just to blog lollol. it doesn't matter if nobody reads this anyway, i love to re-read my posts and reminisce about the past. :)

so three quarters of os are done. can throw all the textbooks away alr hehe. :D i've already told myself to do my best for all the papers, be it difficult or easy. no pain gain, no regrets, no "shits", no "wasted". i really have no idea what to expect during collection of results day. bell curve also hard to say; for subjects like emath and poa, sure very high. and english, HISTORY omg and bio weren't as good. chem was so-so only. really hated the history paper just now. didn't have time to complete sbq and seq rearmament was a total disaster.! >.< evaluation of sources tyvm. out of 5 freaking sources i only did 3. and 1(b) was barely one quarter done. what to do... gosh. thank goodness causes of ww2 came out, though i kinda screwed it as well. :( sigh. let's just hope that ss and hmt will be less nasty... and the mcqs, i really need to score this time.

i cannot predict my score; be it 12, 15, or 20 or whatever, i can say i've done my best for most of my papers. not that i didn't put in any effort for the others though.

that feeling after the bio paper on 15nov = SHIOK ah! really anticipating that. loads and loads of things to do after os. i really miss my choir life like crazy, really want to experience that soon.. cuz i know after 2 more years, i may not be able to be part of a choir anymore. in fact in future if i can, i'd like to perhaps form an acapella group or something, with all those passionate choristers like some of the seniors, not with those who ostracise choir and are unable to fully appreciate it.

must really cherish these 2 months of freedom. next year schedule will be more packed and such alr. thank goodness there are always all the people around you to give you morale support while you're through this. :) os may be nothing in the eyes of someone taking As, but it really determines our future aye.

what will i be when i grow up? who will my husband be? will i be happy in future?... ...

fun!

2010-09-28T22:01:00.000+08:00

today was very fun!!

we had a birds eye view of this maid (at the opposite block from our school) flirting with a bangladeshi worker outside the house she was working for.

haha oh man alif noticed her and they were like smiling to each other.

then the banglar use his hp take pic of her and she leaned in to see.

and i think he was teasing her so she lifted up some magazine and acted like she wanted to whack him.

haha kaypoh me went out to see and the class asked me to shout out to them. :S :D

maybe she saw us so she kept ducking but urh.... what's the point hahaha.

ms asmah kaypoh also go and pop her head to see! ;D

then 2nd episode came after eng focus when she was outside with a guitar (maybe she waiting for him for a sing along session).

mrs lee also kaypoh this time round hahaha.

then epi1 whenever they did some intimate or peculiar action the whole class will erupt into laughter, really laugh until we're breathless.

haha from my position everytime someone screamed 'the maid!' the whole class will come to the window and smile and laugh tgt.

i like this kind of class spirit leh. though it may be a bad thing to intrude into other peoples' business but we just need some laughter to chill from the stress and studying hehe! ;)

and the chers were so happy today! somehow!

mdm yehidaah as usual her happy self, ms toh hahaha xiaodu! ms asmah ahaha no need to say and even mrs lee was happy!

happy teachers = happy students! xD

i know gotta do bio set 2 alr hai. cuz i can't help but post today due to the series of happy events.! :)

just a quickie!

2010-09-20T22:22:00.000+08:00

got back some papers today.

well most improved, some by 2 grades in fact!

i was quite over the moon!

CIP (if any)

really hope that i'll get <20 for prelims.

if not i'll be damn sad la..

looks like 4C1 is improving tremendously,

i MUST catch up and not lose steam!! >.<

2010-09-03T22:29:00.001+08:00

whatever i know im not supposed to be here! but it's TGIF i guess it should be okay! :8

have you ever wondered what exams were for? why do we need to work so hard and get good grades? simple being, our future. good prospects, high pay jobs, enjoying quality life, etc. but many successful people don't even have tertiary education. like what appeared in the Straits Time: you don't need to get a string of As to be successful in future. education is not about everything you know, but obviously it makes up ~90% in determining our future. the other 10% is actually all those extract nouns like love, friendship, trust, family, kinship so on and so for. in fact these seem to be more important than education, extravagance, wealth etc. so cherish them, especially your loved ones. you never know when they're going to just go, like the wind. and when that comes, it'll be too late for regrets alr. express your appreciation and love for them starting from the simplest things, which many often do not tend to notice... i.e. words (just a simple sentence can mean something significant) or maybe simple actions.

i don't know what i want to do in future if anyone asks me now.. although i keep saying i want to pursure music, my career also involved in music, but i'm not sure if that's what i really want. too early to say. maybe something more practical? i want to do OCIP, go and help the less needy, contribute back to society. you never know how blessed you are; whole body intact, with a relatively good life and education,.. and also being born in Singapore which is highly developed and free of terrorism. maybe in JC i will definitely volunteer for OCIP, because that's what i really want to experience, to change myself for the better and learn that things are not to be taken for granted. yes, jamie sullivan inspired me once again (A Walk to Remember Craze back again! ;D) that we must give more and take less. oh and landon carter also taught me how to be a caring soul and to make the most of a situation (to spend the last few days of jamie's life together with her to fulfillment, and even to marry her, granting her last wish.) so there, while i will still strive hard in my studies, i will never forget other life factors that most certainly neglect and to make the most out of my everyday life.

man it's sweltering hot these days! :S

teachers day & gathering!

2010-08-31T22:00:00.000+08:00

6B'06 (2010)

6B'06 (2009)

6B'06 (2008)

wah not bad leh! we still make it a point to go visit ms tan every teachers' day! haha next year must make whole class go! xD haha at last everyone grew up! (cuz some were still very 'young' last year ahahah') attendance seemed to have improved since last year, but it should be still improving! ms tan very popular haha! all the students flocking to her! but i think we're the only batch (large enough to be considered a batch) from jps that still visits her! haha its all the usual people turning up.. some of our classmates dk go whr alr lol. nvr keep in touch! anyway today was ok only la. the celebration was rather a disappointment, if you compare that with national day! i didnt' even feel anything (emotions regarding our 'love' for teachers) during the celebration. hah what a bunch of scs dressed in total black?... erhh....... sounds ridiculous but its true. ok la. was deciding on whether to go for the p6 gathering but since it's on the way (from alexandra road ikea) i went at last. quite nice seeing all the familiar faces again! :D

He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he so normal, nobody paid attention to him.

At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me go home…. suddenly he asked the waiter. “would you please give me some salt? I’d like to put it in my coffee.”

Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.

She asked him curiously; why you have this hobby? He replied: “when I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I like playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there”. While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched.

That’s his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home.

Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story.

They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee!

Then the story was just like every beautiful love story , the princess married to the prince, then they were living the happy life. And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that’s the way he liked it.

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said: “My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life lie. This was the only lie I said to you—-the salty coffee.

Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead.I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything..

Now I’m dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don’t like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste.. But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you.

” Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life,even though I have to drink the salty coffee again”.

Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her: what’s the taste of salty coffee?

It’s sweet. She replied.

ok i nearly cried upon reading this... kope from qm's tumblr! ^^ please feed me more of such LOVE stories!!! yes thank you i know! :D

NDP celebrations! xD

2010-08-06T22:23:00.001+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!! :D

today was the BEST ndp celebration ever! xD

esp for 4C1. ♥

hehe we ran like many rounds up and down the stage.

tired haha. (Y)

then we still go upstage and sing tgt.

i sang in front of the whole school haha!

alif also!

realised our dreams ahahaha! :D

alif said this is nothing compared to SG idol. -.- lol!

i think i zhaosia-ed cos i was so HIGH!!! ;P

it's rarely a chance you get to enjoy yourself so much heh!

esp with your class. :)

we like closer today again lol.

oh mrs teo's farewell.

haha the class did put in effort to write a farewell note for her. :)

even on top of our painting, which was a huge success! :D

right speaking of that, i think everybody used acryllic paint to paint on their arms.

then i stupidly followed but used oil paint.

so alas, cannot remove.

damn sticky and irritating and bothered me for the whole day zz. -.-

everybody at mrt stare like siao.

then go home scrub until my backache, arm pain also walao. haha.

but the day was awesome.

i've never been so high before heheh. ^^

credits to mok for the photos. :)

will really be of reminiscence after we all graduate. :D

right i guess the whole world officially calls me Susan.

but that's ok i dont really mind. ;D

today was a memory. :)

:)

2010-08-05T23:07:00.000+08:00

i really need some inspiration to do my 'dreams' essay.

oh man my hw is piling up, cannot la!!! :(

im looking forward to tmrw, woo 5 days!

but also means catching up of hw plus more hw! -.-

i scared liao, after the PSI.

but it seems like our grades will improve by twice by prelims, i really hope. :X

the article says that

"a lot of getting A-plus grades is forcing yourself to learn and doing as other people want you to"

so creativity vs knowledge.

i cannot deny that i really suck in studying.

well at least till i find the correct path to take...

creativity, i guess that's more like me!

i mean if you have your own strengths sometimes studying too hard may just fail you right?..

its ok to fail, but you must stand up and move on from there.

but of course, both traits will be good;

just that only a minute number will be blessed with such capability.

whereas some lack both, though seldom.

wahhhh..

ok pertaining to my compo title "dreams",

i must say i currently only have one end in mind;

is to do well for os lor.

well even though i have my back-up alr, not doing well just signifies the disappointment i'll anticipate in just a few months.

so there.

love what you do and do what you love!

singing is without a doubt a confirmed interest for me,

i'll seize any opportunities whilst im still in the prime of my youth and make full use of these experiences. :)

i'll never live to regret about anything, at least i know i won't.

i believe i can, yes i can.

2010-07-28T19:33:00.008+08:00

haha i saw this in my pictures! so cute!

i love 4C1!! :D

haha oh man today CE lesson was fun! xD
we were asked by ms lee to fill in our strengths form and then we played ball!
this reg. no. 1-20 vs reg. no. 21-40 thing is damn effective la!
haha i scored one goal woo!! :)
and imagine 4C1 playing with our uniforms on..
haha we're not nerds okay!
just looks a bit funny! :D

oh yeah ytd!.
the stupid mrt got delayed for like 10min cos of some fault! -.-
then by the time reached clementi alr 7.21pm!
wah i ran like there's no tmrw all the way to sch la!
and even jay-crossed since it was pathetically late!
all the clementeens were running!
oh and i banged into a woman while running.
(she was damn slow la zzz)
then she "ALAMAH" me zz (the way ms asmah says it!)
but i just continued moving on lol.
hai. thank goodness i made it by a split second.! -.-
all the train's fault! :O

im really relieved that it's settled at last.
finally resolved.
i don't ever want this to happen again,
or i'll really get a heart attack someday! :/

quickie!

2010-07-25T10:45:00.001+08:00

just a quickie one!

ltr having math tuition argh. sian ttm. :(

hmm well at least there's a back-up now.

but i will still continue working hard as though it doesn't exist. press on zoe!

go the distance! :)

looks like i'll have to visit the doctor a second time then.

perhaps it's due to exams that i keep skipping medicine times for fear of drowsiness.

anyway even w/out it i still feel lousy.

bio, poa and a math papers are screwed.

not like it's not bad enough for my languages alr.

cfm need psi le. sigh. :(

prelims must really get <15 alr if not i'll be damn disappointed.

anyway, if that's what you want i'll grant you your wish.

see who makes the first move first lor. :/

this sucks. it really does.

lol!

2010-07-22T22:08:00.000+08:00

whoo ok this is awesome.

thank you awesome flu for coming on my interview. -.-

at least i managed to psycho myself in front of the 6 people!

hopefully i answered well and yeah, erh get accepted?!

2010-07-19T22:40:00.003+08:00

"No Importa La Distancia"

Una vez sone Que en algun lugar

Yo podria ser alguien Si lograse amar

Y tambien sone Que si he de triunfar
Mi orgullo aferrado Tendre que superar

Un dia llegare No importa la distancia
El rumbo encontrare Y tendre valor
Paso a paso ire Y persistire
A cualquier distancia
Yo el amor alcanzare

Una vez te vi
Era todo irreal Y aunque fuese un sueno
Te sentia junto a mi

Se que estas ahi Que te encontrare
Aunque tarde una vida
Yo jamas renunciare

Un dia llegare...

Mas alla de toda gloria
Del orgullo y el valor
El poder de un heroe
Esta en su corazon

Un dia llegare No importa la distancia
Junto a ti estare Con tu resplandor
Paso a paso ire Y persistire
A cualquier distancia
Yo tu vida y tu amor tendre

where's that sense of achievement i once felt after singing a song?

i enjoyed that in pri sch..!

but what abt in sec sch?

except the awesome seniors who are so passionate and have inspired me to such a great extent.

here i come choir!

i want to fly overseas to sing with peers and marvel in that incredulity!

but sadly i don't feel that way right now. :(

i really hate hate hate myself for getting distracted so easily.

why does my iphone allure me like every few mins then i keep putting my work on hold.

aarghh it wasn't like this a few days back.!

looks like im simply just not persistent enough. hai..~ :(

i realise that the best gift for a friend's birthday is through my words. i shall use them in future as buying a gift doesn't seem to have any sentimental value after all these years.

2010-06-07T15:52:00.000+08:00

i sit in the bus and watch the people go by...
i stare at the Bangladeshi workers building roads and installing pipes...
i glance at my watch, counts the number of bus stops left before i reach home...
my eyelids droop. i began to nodd off...
i rest my cheeks on my hand, elbow resting on window pane; drifts into wonderland...
i dream that the bus arrived at my house already...
i woke up, seeing that the bus really stopped at the place i was alighting...
alarmed, i grab my bag and dashed out of the bus, still sleepy...
......yawn.......

2010-06-04T17:34:00.004+08:00

whoo finally actually using the comp again.! :) well im feeling quite perked up now cos i slept for an hour on the recliner haha. sofas always seem like 'heaven' after we come back from school. :D been thinking and emo-ing much these days lol. and obssessed with some love songs haha. (Y) thanks for the recommendations again limzui! ^^ (see im giving you credit haha!)

only love. my fave song up to date! i know it's old, but good things are meant to be discovered! haha and it's better late than never lol! ♥

whoo i like! 2nd duet with limzui haha! i happened to see it before you recommended lol! i know im slow ahahaha! (Y)

limzuis 1st duet hahaha! :) we're both lims! :D

westlife is good! :) many people talking about them recently lol! haha heard this song in primary school and felt it was really nice.

my dad was singing along to this song in the car! it's a graduation song lol. chanced upon it. :)

another of limzui's recommendations! :D nice nice~

p.s. wq don't cry when your brother leaves tmrw ah haha!

please forgive me...

2010-05-27T18:29:00.006+08:00

Have you every dreamed of running away?

Of just leaving the past behind you?

Leonie has done just that. She's moved to another country and got a new job, a new home, a brand new life...

But when she discovers a box of unread love letters in the bottom of her wardrobe, all ending with the words 'please forgive me', she finds herself drawn to the mystery behind them.

Can the unravelling of another person's story help Leonie deal with her own past and her own secrets? All she knows is that she has to try. Because if the couple behind the love letters had a happy ending, then perhaps she might too.

haha must thank limzui (wq) for giving me this book! ^^

i was kinda disappointed that there were so few romantic scenes at first. :P

but towards the end the book got better, esp from the part when the guy forgave the girl. (aww so sweet. :D)

not bad not bad! ^^ but i think it's the 3rd best book i've read.

my favourite two are "Coming Home" and "A Walk to Remember" LOL!.

i swear that after o levels im gonna watch A Walk to Remember haha!

im gonna do a lot of things.

dye my hair purple, movie marathon, get a part-time job hahaha! :D

could be a piano instructor for lower grade? who knows...! ;)

well back to the book, if anybody is interested can ask me to lend no problem. :) (the a walk to remember fever now :S) hahaha!

i pity the book man. OH who's the poor owner? get back a long long way later! ;D

hehehe. recommend me any good books la eh...! esp ROMANTIC novels. [clap clap ^^]

quite a few stuff happened these few days.

Dr Goh Keng Swee's passing on..

i cried when his grand niece delivered her eulogy (is that how you spell it?)

couldn't tahan la. went to the toilet to take a breather and came out.

then saw my dad crying too (are you kidding me?! -.-) and i just let the tears flow.

with my ahma staring at us perplexed. :D

hahaha glad that we could bring some entertainment to the class! :D

parliament today!!.. didn't get to shake hands with Mr. Lee Hsien Long though haha. :(

although it was quite boring, watching the MPs debate and all that, it was still an eye-opener for all of us. :) the interesting thing was that we all had to bow to Mr./Mrs. speaker (including Mr. Lee himself and the other MPs) each time we entered and left the venue and of course strict discipline must be observed.. [what the hell some members of the public and MPs fell asleep and even used hp la zzz -.-]

ah well all in all it was quite okay and i don't mind myself being the speaker next time hahaha! ^^

psi

2010-03-25T22:14:00.000+08:00

D: hahaha had a good time gossiping bout stuff just now! :D can't help it since it 'enriches' our lives a bit heehee!! :D oh we'll be stepping down in about half a month.. can't wait! wonder if i'll cry doing handover ceremony! things would be interesting after we leave.., i think. :O yawn quite an informal post today. :)

hi world.

2010-03-16T22:33:00.002+08:00

hello world. i realised that i have not been posting recently. haha i don't really care if anyone bothers to read, cos its more like a diary for myself. :) im the sentimental sort so yeah.

ok hmm lots of stuff have happened this term, and i have to say that it had been quite an ordeal. studies, not living up to expectations and the year of the big 'O's is indeed painful to hear. thankfully there are friends who stand by me, encouraging, talking, and gossiping with me hahaha! :D yeah that brings stress levels down for a moment. :) i had better do something about my grades, though i know that i still haven't overcome procrastination. :(

didn't attend aesthetics camp day one ytd due to piano exam. grade 8 practical. :S i spent the whole of sunday and monday morning practicing my pieces, but to no avail. the sweat glands in my palm just produced and produced never-endingly during my pieces, causing history to repeat itself again. why does this always happen when im nervous??? hai.. yeah not so much of adrenaline haha. thank goodness it got better and better, with my aural supposedly being the best and pieces worst. wasted. D: but i really want to thank all the people who wished me and encouraged me for my 2nd attempt, and to the seniors and peers who helped me with some aural questions. :) thank you very much! ^^

haha so attended aesthetics camp day 2. wow finally a decent-looking aesthetics tee! :) like it! ^^ wasn't as boring as i thought but still... haha yeah. (gretel don't so moody le. :O) played blow wind blow (until both my knees got skin tear and blue-black -.-). MR REUBEN LAI CAME TO CONDUCT WORKSHOP!!! omgosh he's really very very good leh! i really envy the seniors <2006 who were trained under him! :O his training techniques are unique, new, efficient and effective! what a pity mr foong will still be taking us.. sighs. :( haha some seniors specially came back to meet him but he had already left, pity. shall implement all his warm ups and techniques during practices. :) (ps: he said that our batch sings better than <2006 dunno whether true anot hahaha! ;)) then me and gretel took charge of sight-singing lessons while weilin, yishan and yinghui took theory. was quite jialat cos choir was noisy in a sense. please instill more self-discipline among yourselves, choir! ahahaha the video on the musical lollol!!! i really doubted if ms tan showed us the correct one!! so many NC16 stuff and erhh well... haha can't say here!!! not suitable for innocent sec 1s zomg. ;D

one more month step down le. after this time i realised that although it's only one day, i've probably bonded with a couple more choir members, esp the sec 1s, in a sense? haha sorry guys, you all know my name but i still don't really know yours..! :X will my tears be worth it on 16april? or maybe i should just save them for the next time? i really don't know. wish the choir all the best for syf'11 and in the future.

rawr.

2010-03-05T21:50:00.001+08:00

whoo finally time for the computer again.

hahaha gosh after all the events that've happened, i really think that 4C1 is super ultra bonded heh haha! :D

esp after ASPIRE camp..

yeah i have never felt so strongly for a class before, not even 2D1'08!!

hurray for 4C1, and the classmates who make my everyday lessons so colourful. :)

haha 4C1'll occupy a decent spot in my memories for life. ^^

i hope that this "unsaid" class spirit will remain for the whole year lol. :D

ahahaha hope that our class presentation for next tue goes smoothly. :)

4C1. SUCCESS CANNOT BE SPELT WITHOUT YOU!!! ♥

2010-02-19T22:57:00.000+08:00

3 more days! :)

somehow i get the feeling that this day won't turn out as good as expected.

tmrw something like 2 periods of chem + consultation..

where got time to buy friendship day gifts?

and friday... dilly-dally-dilly-dally...

will i be late for piano?

walao where got time to worry about all these minor details la..

is it my problem or other peoples'?

i hope that my year of 16 will be a good, a good good fulfilling one.

well, NC16 would be a good start! :D

i don't care about presents, it's something else that really matters.

sigh... [lassitude-ness] :(

i guess it's me.. i'm the fussy one.. so i've gotta bear the consequences.

whatever man.

gossip seems a tinge too meaningless now.

no doubt about that.

but im freaging sick of hw now..

all subject teachers are basically crazy alright..! X.X

looking forward to friday.. :)

bad bad bad!

2010-01-29T22:25:00.000+08:00

they, have no sense of shame!

can't stand people who 遗弃父母 when they grow old..

阿爷的木瓜 made me reflect, once again, that no matter what becomes of your parents in their late years, you should never ever abandon them. D:

horrible these days leh..!

i would say that teens can think better than adults these days lor...

selfish people living on our earth = totally a disgrace to us! >.<

these kind of irresponsible people really is our 社会上的渣滓.

that's where the 道德教育 comes in.

please people, don't abandon your parents who brought you up painstakingly!! :O

you'd regret for life if you ever do...

[but there are a few who don't feel a shit, cos they're worthless in our society.]

tired.

2010-01-27T23:19:00.004+08:00

i forgot what i wanted to post man. shingz!

so many things to post when i was thinking..

but when faced with the computer screen, my brain's a total blank.

right i realise that this year, in particular last week (probably due to aspire camp), was a sudden jump for me in my social life.

i got to know more people that i usually don't interact with, and when i say know i mean having a heart-to-heart convo with them before. :D

i realised like so many things...

even from close friends, when they tell me certain stuff..

stuff that i least expected all just appeared in front of me, leaving me in moments of shock at times.

yeah... :O and after today's CE lesson (the one with the benches).

everything just knocked sense into my porky brain.

friends are really 'uper duper important de.

really.

w/out 'em life would be meaningless..

and i hate backstabbers.. esp those who like to suck up to people...

like suck up to ppl with authority.

e.g. if you're nothing, the person doesn't give a shit of your presence.

if you're some big character with high authority, the person come kneeling in front of you, licking your boots.

that is what i freaking hate!

alright. now choir's another worrisome issue...

oh and congrats to jingwen for your successful appeal to sajc through choir! same instructor ley!! ^^

maybe i'll apply for sajc choir too hahahaha.

and finally HAPPY BIRTHDAY VANESSA, TINKIE WINKIE. :D

ASPIRE '10

2010-01-22T21:39:00.002+08:00

whoo ASPIRE camp from 20-22jan! i liked certain activities here and there. hmm CT challenge was fun!! xD the swensens/dining etiquette thingy was quite cool also! and public speaking a good experience! gosh all the dining etiquette thingy's fault! and thanks to glenn too, im now called Susan Boyled water..! -.- haha i actually don't mind it, cos its funny! :D how many nicknames do i have alr lol. wah the night hike was horrid! supposed to reach back sch at 3.30am then some alumni people got lost so we walked here and there and reached back sch at 5am.. i bet all our legs were screaming in agony la!! zzz. -.-

but overall i felt that the camp was fun, tiring yet tedious! :) i realised that many people in 4c1 are actually quite helpful and nicer than i had expected, and it seems like we are quite united in some way or rather. so it's a pretty good sign! mrs wong can just go and die la!... -.-

sec 4 camp is more tedious than sec 3 zzz.

2010-01-15T21:49:00.001+08:00

i was deep in thought just now. im sure that everybody, in some point of time, felt the same way as what im going to describe now. does anyone have a friend that you're so 'uper close to, until some junction in life when you're so used to that friend's existence that you think that his/her presence is irritating? :X things get a bit edgy, like all the problems and encounters during the months. but after overcoming all these obstacles, you realise that you and your friend now share a stronger [covalent ;P] bond. this strengthens your relationship and makes sure that nothing comes in your way to break that special friendship. Lol that's what a call true friendship. ;)

2009-12-28T22:57:00.000+08:00

perhaps i should just delete this blog since fb is the in thing now.. :D

but ah well.. loads of memories contained within this blog.

of course i can't bear to throw everything away heh. :X

today was a study group day and i nearly finished chem fys except mol. -.-

haha today's quite worthwhile. :)

i would much prefer to have more such of these study groups to concentrate better.

one after another... the sequence of events..

first the shooting pain in my leg... now the piercing pain in my left throat when swallowing and turning my head..

thank goodness i don't feel it anymore.

i just realised that sometimes if i don't think about certain negative things, they will turn out positive in some way or rather.

not thinking may, help after all.

most things don't turn out as we expect them to.

but we shouldn't be in despair just because it's otherwise.

always look on the bright side of life.

oh dear reality just hit me that 2010 is coming real soon...

and it's gonna be sec 4 alr... :S

o levels.

gosh.

be +ve, not -ve zOhyEE!!!! X.X

2009-12-19T16:45:00.000+08:00

WwWwW... it doesn't stop here. it happens everyday. on the phone, the computer, never-ending... countless topics, whether new or old, never gets left behind. smiling at the monitor is not something uncommon! it is just basically the start of everything new. :)

NnNnN... once on the comp, it starts and never stops! :D for minutes and minutes, even hours.. you'd feel your jaw aching after awhile. erm don't let the parents get suspicious! ^^

no vietnam...

2009-12-09T13:07:00.000+08:00

gah it sucks man..

i was supposed to wake up at 4.30am this morning to leave for vietnam.

but however at around 8 9pm liddat my legs started to feel numb.

then at 11pm+ i went to bed and my entire right leg started feeling shoots of intense pain all over..

it was so bad i couldn't even sleep and got up to take panadol extra.

by then it was alr 1.20am liddat..

and right i've got a flight to catch ltr on so there i was, panicking.

the pill hadn't taken effect so the pain was totally unbearable.

had to wake parents up to tell them.

then dad brought me to A and E hospital to check it.

but by the time i reached there, the pain had subsided and gone.

oops sorry to wake the doctor at 2am yeah hahaha.

[he's damn young and handsome la hahaha ^^"]

knock my leg etc..

then prescribed some nerve medicine and 2 others.

so it was decided that i shan't go to vietnam after all..

how very last minute.. =.=

when i'd been so looking forward to this trip.. D:

sighs.

now i bet the other peepz are in vietnam alr lor... zzz

budden i realised..

could it be because i fell down during skiing which injured my hip there??

which caused the pain??..

so it may not be nerves after all heh..

dang. T.T

i should get it treated i know...

but it still sucks that you are the one sitting at home while your friends are overseas enjoying themselves..

conclusion : this is life.

all the ups and downs, and hasty decision-making comes to use at unexpected junctions in life.

:( guess i'll have to accept it and face reality yeah.

i need people to talk to la.

where's all the people that i need gone to??

nvm. shall do hw... bleurgh.. -.-

2009-09-10T22:30:00.000+08:00

started off quite badly cos i kinda felt left out..

like even though i know 11 out of 13 people, they are all quite close so yeah.

actually i went mainly because it was yingpeng's farewell dinner..

at the same time hear about the alumni's past experiences abt choir..

quite eventful.

haha thanks jeremy toh / jeremy wong / jacqueline for cheering me up quite a bit!!

towards the end it was ok alr. :D

had quite a time laughing with some of them. :)

overall i learnt a lot...

and had new insights about some of the senior's characters and personalities..

haha :D

the dinner ended at 8.30pm.

and me, jingwen, qianhua and jacq gave yingpeng the presents we bought for her.. and my letter too!! xD

it's not much.. but it's my sincerity in there!! ;D

haha i must really thank jeremy toh, jacq and jingwen for waiting with me for my parents at the Intercontinental hotel right up till 9.20pm!!

you all are really great!! :D

overall i had quite a good experience of today.. :)

and learnt a lot too. :D

haha thanks jeremy wong for inviting me to this.

[he's quite a good host haha! :D]

2009-09-06T18:32:00.001+08:00

yeah man i bought a new book titled "The Kite Runner"!!

which is under British Council's list of most recommended books for upper sec. :D

i'm looking forward to reading it but if i start, i cannot stop which means i may abandon my hw!...

so i'll wait till after exams, if possible..

dump it somewhere where i can't see it.. :P

hi :D

2009-09-04T21:17:00.001+08:00

oh no... another week of holidays.

seriously, i really dread it..

cos it's the last holiday before EOY's sec 3!!! >.<

dang. it means having to study and do homework and more revision!

no rest at all...

so now in upper sec, school day or holiday also no difference one.

at least, we can't even take a breather.

sighs.

im going to take my grade 8 again next year in March.

this time, i MUST get distinction!!

if not i can go and jump off the building ler.

oh yeah..

remedials and cca during holiday.

what the shits!!

2009-09-01T17:12:00.002+08:00

adding on to ytd's post.. shall describe myself waiting outside the staff room to give the teachers' their present, in an ironic way...

... ... ...

Zoe stood on tiptoed, tilting her head upwards in the crowd, peering into the staff room. she was grasping a large bag of presents, her forehead drenched in perspiration. everytime she spotted a teacher coming out of the staff room, she would take a quick glance. if the teacher was one of her 'present-holders', her heart would give a great leap as she fumbles anxiously into the bag, in search for his/her present; hoping that the teacher wouldn't leave. when she had finally taken out the present, she would look up to realise that the teacher had gone... leaving a sweaty and disappointed Zoe looking pathetic...
... ...

LOL i think this story is cool! xD

oh yeah i koped this from kelly's blog. one quarter of 6B'06 yeah, and ms tan. :)

teachers' day... a wonderful day... :)

2009-08-31T20:29:00.001+08:00

eh supposedly 6 ppl to film [2 express, 2 NA, 2 NT] but in the end only 2 exp + 1 NA had the interview.

haha we were supposed to talk about the programme on 'congruence and similarity' we went through last year.

i think i did fairly well! ;D

Mok had quite a lot of NGs cos she was nervous and rattled off haha!! :D

oh she like this guy called Zack [eh walao start with Z also -.-], the camera crew... =.=

then when he was like staring at her during the interview, she said:

"stop staring at me lah!! make me more nervous!!"

LOL.

the teachers and crew from MOE are funny!! xD

weren't as scary as we thought.

guess it just boils down to experience and whether you're well prepared anot. :)

oh yeah still got to put foundation...

and Mok spray hair somemore!

ah well.. but anw it was a great experience i'll never forget. 8)

P.S. thx Mok for introducing ba chor mi to me today!!

国际交谊所 last day...!

2009-08-18T22:06:00.002+08:00

today is the final episode of 国际交谊所...

so sad eh. D:

i've been watching this variety show every tues since day 1 and only missed 1 episode...

it's really very interesting, when various countries come together to speak mandarin and understand SG's culture etc.

LOL i like 啊德 (hongkong), 小安安 (romania) , michael (US), kimchi (korea) and wasabi (japan) the most!! haha they damn funny lah! :D

wah towards the last 15min of the show, the 'students' purposely go and plan some tough questions to test mark lee (the host).. quite interesting. and they made him drink some HK drink??. O.O

then they all said their reflections about this show, and how they appreciated everybody's 教导 and 关心. quite a touching scene...

haha yeah i almost cried... T.T

think 小安安 cried or sth.

ah well...

I HOPE 国际交谊所 GETS BEST VARIETY SHOW FOR STAR AWARDS!!! xD

2009-08-14T23:06:00.000+08:00

fabulous... simply fabulous...

Mrs Ong's departure...

2009-08-14T21:40:00.003+08:00

wow Mrs Ong just struck us with a bomb this morning that it will be her last day teaching 3C1 today!

gosh and the worse thing is that she bought lots of chocolates and gummies for us...

well... i seriously think that we don't deserve it lor. D:

ok i mean that most of us were not showing her respect, including me sometimes.

so im not sure if any covalent bond member feels guilty about the way we've treated her.

maybe the class doesn't, but i do feel a pang of guilt.

and she said she was disappointed with my last 2 narratives...

cos i wrote about homosexual, and she's the traditional type that doesn't like this kind of things, i presume!! hahaha:D

well, but anyways, Mrs Ong has been a gd teacher luh.

just that we were too noisy then most of the time never hear what she's saying.

ah well.

Mrs Molly Ong, 祝您一路顺风!! LOL.

2009-08-09T23:15:00.004+08:00

Amazing Child Singers:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu0UoouAyeU&NR=1&feature=fvwp

ok the 4th video was the best. :)

2009-08-09T22:32:00.003+08:00

gosh this is so freaking sweeeet!! :D

if children can do it, why can't we??

2009-08-09T22:23:00.001+08:00

KimGary's peppermint with Aloe Vera. thought that it was quite interesting so i decided to take a snap of it. :D

i love miss khor!!

2009-08-09T21:58:00.003+08:00

HAPPY 44TH BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!! xD

"there's no place i'd rather be, you'll always be a part of me..."

i love you Singapore!!

it is the moment when i heard the ndp songs, and watching the ndp performance, which made me feel a surge of pride and joy that im a Singaporean! :D

this year's ndp performance was quite good eh!!

esp with all those bomb attacks etc.

this shows that Singaporeans must have a better knowledge of terrorism in SG.

doesn't mean that we're in SG means that it won't happen to us.

cos most of us have never experienced terrorism before that's why we think that we're all safe.

but that's so wRong.

haha sounds like 黄老师's lesson!!

oh wow i really love miss khor a lot now!! xD

it's like the 1st time i liked her more than mr low...

and i'd never expected that things would turn out this way if it was 1 year ago!...

miss khor is really my role model!!

& sbd too... hahaha!! :D

"Singapore our homeland, it's here that we belong..."

:D

2009-08-07T21:15:00.003+08:00

yay it's a friday, and a super slack day! xD

hahaha national day celebration today!! :D

during the sing-along session half of the 3C1 and 3D1 people were practically "high-ing" at the back of the hall!!

haha what with all the flags and pompers?!

esp "Reach Out for the Skies"!!

we were practically dancing away and enjoying ourselves!!

got encore also! :D

oh then the Singapore Footprint!! xD

was the leader of group 9.

dunno if we did well...!

took quite a number of pics!

haha gervais very funny! :)

anw we enjoyed ourselves a lot, although it was so hot that we were drenched with sweat!
anw i hope for the best of group 9 to win!

2nd concert for SLO and CT/GES!!! :D

i so feel like watching today again luh!!

haha qianhua, jacq, jingwen and jeremy toh went today!

haha eh wanqi and gang dun let out my secret hor!!!! [not really one but i guess so]

LOLLOL!!

it's not that kind of thing uh!! know that you all know but just to be sure!!

we are the world!

2009-08-07T00:06:00.002+08:00

National Day!!!

2009-08-06T23:44:00.003+08:00

aww man... i was listening to ndp songs and youtube..

and when i saw and heard the MV of "One People, One Nation, One Singapore", i just cried...

gosh guess i have laid a strong root in Singapore.

i love u Singapore!

happy 44th!! :D

and the ndp songs all rock! xD

SLO concert!! :D

2009-08-06T23:04:00.006+08:00

wow today i managed to go for the SLO youth choir concert with my sis!! :D

was thoroughly shocked and surprised that there were complementary tickets available today!!

so a last min decision was made to go for it!

i wanted to hear what i had 'missed out'!

it was good, fabulously good! [the concert]

totally made my evening today!

the songs were simply marvellous!

and u have to admit that there's a certain charisma about the SLO in comparison with gan eng seng and ctss.

oh yeah i finally got to hear Jeremy Wong's actual voice.

wasn't very loud, guess he dint power cos it was a peaceful song.

yeah the 5 guys songs that one...

sth september thingy.

nice.

oh i loved "The Beatles" and "ABBA" songs combinations!

brings back a lot of memories!

oh and "We are the World".

wow.

best thing is "Home".

ndp song.

it was so touching that i almost cried lah. :D

i was singing like hell loud at my place, then everyone in the vicinity was staring at me!.. xD

oh yeah when ms khor asked the audience to join in the sing-along,

she SAW ME singing leh!!

and SMILED to me!!! :D

wah my respect for her has turmounted over these 2 years!

was like super high just now!

really felt like i wanna be part of it. :)

one of these days i WILL join SLO or SYC man.

in ct choir u can NEVER expect this kind of excitement and rich tone quality.

well done guys!! :D

[p.s. Gretel looked damn 'handsome' just now!! (in conjunction of her manly voice!! xD]

2009-08-01T21:24:00.005+08:00

:D

2009-07-31T21:12:00.004+08:00

hahahaha today was quite fun!! :D

MOK asked me to bring menstrual pills for her today cos she's having cramps!

so during class i passed the pills across the class to her.

then alif thought it was chewing gum and still claimed loudly that he wanted them!...

then i was like thinking how come he want menstrual pills?

or was he just cracking a joke?!

what a big joke luh him!! :D

make the whole class burst out in laughter!

im so sad and pissed right now... D:

cos im not going for the SLO concert...

friday got piano, then thurs nbd going with me..

so i decided there's no point going.

wah cannot hear jeremy wong sing leh... :(

he's like.. a role model to me and i can't get to hear his singing??!!

im so gonna kill myself! =.=

gah whatever.

btw to ALVIN YONG if you're ever going see this,

2009-07-30T18:40:00.003+08:00

busy as ever man! >.<

did i mention that i screwed my piano exam?

it seemed ages ago although it was only last week, this very day.

time practically flies when you're in sec 3...

i think that ever since 2nd sem started, i've never really been as hardworking as before...

i tend to wait till the last minute to complete my hw, like 1 day before submission.

or if not i'd come with excuses like tests the next day so don't do.

and now my hw is piling up...

even currently im going to delay my history letter till weekend, which is due tmr...

this is very bad.

but what can i do? O.O

education in SG is so stressful!..

and ms asmah gave us a thrashing today, which really woke me up from my reverie.

"DROP CHEMISTRY!!!..."

that's really like dropping a bombshell onto us liddat.

and i believe i screwed the chem test..

left many questions blank.

and math test, ard 9 marks fly away already.

zoe ah, cannot like this ok??!

i better start working hard if not it's the end of my future if my L1R5 20+.

no point dilly-dallying.

got to buck up!!

screwed!

2009-07-23T21:10:00.004+08:00

screwed... totally screwed...

piano exam today was...

female examiner, again... =.=

bad things aren't good to be talked about. so that's it for piano.

officialy 2 days MC for me.

heard that chem paper was hard.

ah well i'll see about that next week.

anyway thanks again alif for sending me my hw.

[i have the sinking feeling that i would fail my piano with flying colours, and i mean it.]
