It's been quite some time since i last posted... Lotsa things had happened during tis few days. Both pleasant and unpleasant.

Sat: It was a terrible day. Was extrememly fed up wif some ppl. All that they care is their own convenience and pleasure. Haiz... I'm dumbfounded and i seriously cant b bothered wif such ppl. No wonder my piano teacher mention tt many ppl nowaday r veri self-centred. Haiz... Jus learnt the art of saying "no" to things tt r nt to my advantage. I'm nt gg to think of other ppl's convenience anymore. Y do tt when ppl take it for granted and when comes to your own convenience they jus ignore. Haiz...

Sun: I went for piano lesson and i actualli took 1h 30min to finish my theory work. haha... My teacher said tt i'm so slack. haha... But wad to do? My mind jus work at snail speed when comes to chords and harmony. haha... Anyway, after tt, went to TM to meet wei liang. he was there for his guitar lesson. Then bought a Doreamon "Noddy" for my dad.

In the evening, I went to collect my SMTA Performers' festival's certificate and the adjudicator's report at the Meridien Shopping centre. The shop, Music essential, was super hard to find. Went round the building quite some time and i called up the shop to ask for the location even. It's front door was actualli at the outside of the building. Haiz... I had a greatest shock of my life... I was expecting a certificate of participation (COP). But, guess wad?? I'm awarded 'highly commended'!! I was so happie. haha... Although it is jus slightly better den a COP, but i'm still glad, cos i seriously think that COP looks ugly of cert... Hee... I received my complimentary score too. Actually i was suppose to buy Debussy's score, but guess wad the score tt i chose for my comlimentary score was actually the exact book that i need. Haha... Save money!! haha... Along wif the Debussy book was Brahms piano pieces, a book of love songs and 'The carnival of animal'... Haha...

After which, my family and my dad's colleague when to a vietnamese restaurant to eat. The food was quite nice. The vietnamese styled curry chicken was veri veri nice. But too bad, i was too full and thus could nt finish up the curry. Dad's colleague was from Argentina and he was rather comical in tis actions. Other than that, he also told lotsa humorous jokes, and everyone had a wonderful nite together chatting. We went home at 10 pm and i rushed my geog tutorial out till 2 am at night.

Mon: I went back to school for make up lessons and when to J8 for lunch b cos the geog tut was cancelled. I rush out the tut yet it was cancelled. Jus don't understand y ppl wanna persuade the tutor to cancel the tut? aren't tis ppl worried abt their mid yr exam? or r they jus so confident tt they will do extrememly well for their geog in mid yr. Haiz... Anyway, i bought a pair of ear stud and plain chain for my mum. Bought it frm Perlini's Silver. haha... the usual shop...
Tue: When back to sch jus for GP lecture. haiz... realli waste of time to travel to n fro. Got bac my GP compre test. haha... Tot i would fail cos i fell aslp while reading the passage. However i passed!!! haha...
Today, i went J8 wif Jas. haha... we ate Roti Prata at the food court. Wah... The Prata was expensive. haha... First time eating prata in a food court. haha... Anyway, went shopping at Muji again. Bought a small notebk. hee... After which, i realised tt i was late for my piano lesson... Took bus 53 from Bishan interchange. However, after a few stops teacher called to say tt she had forgotten abt my lesson. So, lesson was cancelled. haha... If i noe earlier, would hav went to watch Yangzheng pri's musical "Cactus tales", as all the tutors were given complimentary ticket for the afternoon show. When i reached home, i chat wif Mrs Koh online. haha... wanna find out about tmr's tut cos i wanna plan for my movie outing wif Kylie tmr. haha... Looking forward to watching Da Vinci Code wif Kylie tmr... haha... Miss ya kylie... haha...

Today is the last day of the term. Haha... so happie n excited. Pok did a last 5 sec count down to the end of the term, during our last period of lesson today. haha... so cool, the bell realli went off after her counted zero. haha... Anyway, after tt Bee Chin, Gillian n i went J8 to shop for our proj stuff. haha...

When went to popular n gt all our stuff le, den when ard to shop for fun. We went to the usual Mini toons, den Action city. so sad, din c any nice hello kitty stuff ard. And lately wif the obssession over the voodoo dolls, mini toons has a whole shelf of it. OMG, they realli look creepy n disgusting. Haha... Ok, probably onli i find it disgusting. haiz...

When to look for the shop MUJI after tt, cos everytime i onli remember tt i wanna go there after i left J8 on the bus which would pass by a place where i can c the signboard of MUJI on the J8 building. haha... Anyway i found it, and shop there... The things there r so nice. It is nt those tt r colourful, thus attract my attention. It is the plain n patternless, tt i fell in love wif. i like the files n notebooks etc, but they r quite ex. haiz... but i bought the pens. hee...

Anyway after tt, we went home... On the bus, something crazy happen. I took bus 59 which would go to Toa Payoh, den go bac to Eunos area via express way. Den on the bus there was tis woman tt tot the bus will go straight to some other parts of Toa Payoh and took the bus. However when reach the junction tt the bus turning onto the express way den she realise tt the bus nt turning tt way, den she ask the bus driver to let her alight even when the place does nt hav a bus stop. haiz... the bus driver say cannt cos it violates the rule and he may get fine if he get caught. So there was a quarrel. haiz... That woman is so unreasonable, she scolded the bus driver despite the whole thing being her fault. She said wad she rush of time la, den go Eunos nid take 1 hr bus bac la. haiz... i mean when u make a mistake shoudn't u face the consequences. haiz... Anyway i jus find the woman's reaction unreasonable cos she scolded vulgaritites at the bus driver for nt letting her alight. haiz...

That's all bah. blog again nxt time.

Btw, i something is jus bugging me, cos i jus wanna noe the truth abt myself... am i realli so perfectionist tt i b come out of place in grps and tt ppl cannt stand me?? Is my principle tt "wanna do den put in the best, if nt den mus as well dun do", a wrong ting?? i dun understand y ppl keep using the reply of there is no time as an excuse for nt wanting to put more effort to make things better. Izzit tt i'm diff frm ppl, or tt i'm jus demanding too much? haiz... am i realli too much of a perfectionist tt ppl find me a nuisance? haiz.. Wad ever... haiz... no matter wad ppl tink, as long as i am happie the way i am, den let it b, y change myself to accomodate ppl, when i noe tt i cannt please everyone in tis whole wide world? haha... tt's all bah. will update soon...

Once upon a december

Words and Music By Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty

Anya:
Dancing bears
Painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

Royal Ghost Voices:
Aahh...

Anya:
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart
Used to know
Things it yearns to remember
And a song Someone sings
Once upon a December

Hope tt our proposal would b approved, den can sell drinks and food during the carnival.
Thurs: So fustrated lately. Thanks to mrs xx. I jus hate it tt she instead of encouraging me to improve my results, she ask me to drop it to H1. Isn't tr suppose to encourage their students to work harder to achieve gd results? Hw come she is promoting escaping frm problem? Hw come she is asking ppl to gif up? Seriously i was extremely angry wif her suggestion, after all it is only the first test and the retest. Anyway, i stroongly believe tt perserverance is the key to success. Hw can she jus ask ppl to drop wifout thinking wif her pea brain. Oops... shld b tt the brain is too small for usage. Anyway enough tok abt her, y make her the subj of my blog? It would taint my blog, and anyway she is too trival for mention.

The chinese temple had lotsa tortoise. haha... so cool. There is also a special pond there tt had lotsa torroise. I'm so fasicinated over the number of tortoise. At the pond there is a struture over the top of the pond to add as shade for the tortoise. Den there was one tortoise tt manage to climb to the top of the shade, and accidentally fell off the struture rite into the pond b low. haha. Look as if the tortoise committing suicide. haha.

Yesterday, was supposingly the day tt my Ct gg to run our 2.4km run. However, as i was ill, i was excused. So irritating, due to someone's slow reaction, my fren actualli miss by 0.04s. Tt's so ridiculous. Anyway, din had Maths tut today, cos tutor went for election briefing, thus was dismissed earlier!!

Anyway, after dismissal, went down to CCHMS to wait for kylie. Had decided to accompany her bac to collect her O lvl cert. Had coffee at the coffee shop tt we used to eat at (outside sch). Then make our way into sch. As it was exam period, so the sch was deserted. Fed the fish with the bread tt kylie brought. haha... (poor tortoise, they slow reaction so din get to eat much) After tt, we tok to Mr Davamoni n also went up the newly renovated CCA block tt is called Innosphere nw. The whole building looks so nice, and nt as creepy as it used to b. It also b came the centre for chinese excellence. Saw lots of ppl in sch. Hee... Met Rumin and she chased after me to hug me. OMG. frightened me !! Haha... Anyway, after which we played on the old choir piano tt was outside the Lt, cos we waiting for mr tan to finish his lessons wif the o lvl music class.

After which, met him at the piano there, den went to the staff rm wif him to chit chat. Gossip abt college life, suitors and saw Joash's passport. After tt as mr tan gg to KK to fetch his wife, we took a lift to Bugis. Talked abt subj combi, and mr tan tot tt kylie n i r funnie, cos we tried to compete to c who die faster. haha... den mr tan told us abt hw he almost when deaf, and he even went into such great details on hw he left the cotton bud at his ears n he accidentally hit against his ear n the cotton bud went inwards. It was gross... I jus realised hw prone to accident he is. (Injured eye, ear, and broke his finger, all seems to b injuries tt is fatal to a pianist, but luckily, he recovered). Really had a great chat wif mr tan.

After which, kylie n i had dinner at Yoshinoya, den i had to go bac NYJC to watch the drama nite performance. It was called " Five Foot Way". The actors n actresses were gd, but the story plot was rather dull n short. The story was abt hw a Chinese killed a man n hw another chinese woman accused a Malay teen of doing it, jus b cos of his race. Anyway, i took bus home after the drama, n was caught in traffic jam b cos of the workers' party's rally at Serangoon stadium. When i reach home i was dead tired and i went to slp after bathing and gg online for a bit.
