BWMF 2011!

11S06J ♥

okay the new blogger is a bit confusifying. :P anyway, grad night was yesterday, and it was certainly fun. :D i'm so glad most of my class went and we got a near-complete class photo which looks nice ((:

wicked and advocation tomorrow ♥

en pressant

2011-09-04T19:47:00.001+08:00

my second favourite song from wicked. the top favourite being 'for good'. well, i like 'defying gravity' and 'dancing through life' also, but these are so 'popular' (haha) with other people i'm sure everyone already knows what they sound like anyway :P oh, and 'i'm not that girl' too, but dengqing and xiaowei have been quoting from it already (and they quoted the same line some more. this is called advocation telepathy).

omg hahaha to think wicked is coming to the little red dot! i am excited~~~

opening night with ad-vocation. best combination i could ever ask for ♥

i think we're all excited about it. to the point that last week xiaowei dreamt about advocation outing, then a few days later tree dreamt of advocation outing, and then last night i dreamt of advocation outing :D (yes, more advocation telepathy)

'i couldn't be happier...because happy is what happens when all your dreams come true' (:

so a musical chemistry in the woods was yesterday. it was quite fun actually, what with flying scores that landed in the pond in the midst of harry potter (which the sampan guy helped us to retrieve), meeting up with reception food gang again and walking all the way from botanic gardens to cluny court in heels, playing around with the lanxess fan (and the improvised fans hehe), and the random, er, gossip session we held in the cafe when plenty of YO people were passing by. haha.

well, it was our first outdoor concert, and it was admittedly rather hot and stuffy, but it rained in the afternoon, so it wasn't so bad after all. celesta solo was...so-so. no major mess-ups at least. and i killed most of my fingers during the harry potter glisses. to the point that i could barely hold a pen today :P but it was quite satisfying anyhow. even though it was painful. oh dear, i sound rather masochistic. haha.

went out for dinner with miffie, val, sidney and jed after that. after walking for about 15 mins trying to get out of botanic gardens, we wound up at ccab, and eventually had dinner at relish. haha. quite a lot of funny little things happened, but i guess i won't blog about the details. :P

ooh and i got a new wallpaper for my phone. ie. the YO harp ♥ (:

2011-07-09T21:38:00.006+08:00

ouch. ouch. ouch. it really serves me right for pulling out all the hard skin that was being so irritating last wednesday. grrrr. i should've just left it alone. so much for thinking everything would heal before saturday T.T and omg i can't seem to find a good spot to poke to let all the water out. this is terrible. i think i constantly subject my fingers to a great deal of mutilation.

well...if everything fails tomorrow, there is always my old bopian for glissing. which i used today. hahaha.

celebrating celeste's birthday today was fun (: only went for lunch but we still did an awful lot of funny stuff. like tricking yuanteng that celeste smsed her order. haha. happy birthday isosceleste ♥

on a side note, i am still rather wicked-obsessed. haha. the wizard and i, and what is this feeling, and dancing through life, are all awesomely catchy and fun :D and those like defying gravity and for good are always nice classic songs. haha. i was humming my way through my wicked playlist during econs and physics lectures on friday. and actually, i was doing it in physics prac on wednesday too. i think cat heard me, and she was sitting about halfway across the classroom. oops. :P

the finale always gives me shivers at the part where glinda comes in and elphaba joins her. haha.

glissando...

2011-06-30T23:21:00.001+08:00

so CTs ended today, and we went out (as usual). had lunch at j8, then moved on to orchard, our familiar haunt. haha. well, it was awesome catching up with friends, and talking rubbish and laughing about random things that most people probably wouldn't have found funny. i suppose we made quite a spectacle of ourselves this morning in the canteen, screaming with laughter at nothing in particular. ah well. it's nothing new, anyhow. :P

then there was YO at night. i formed a blister during the first half of rehearsal. and then i burst it on a particularly violent gliss in the second half. and water from the blister sprayed everywhere. ugh. so darrell gave me a strange look cos he wondered why i stopped so suddenly. and after that, i had to gliss with my third and fourth fingers instead, with the result that both those fingers now have a watery blister on them. i bet they will both burst on saturday. hooray.

now that CTs are over, it's time to get some other things done! like trying out random wicked songs on the piano haha :P somehow i think it's easier to play by ear on the piano. though the harp always sounds better to me (:

and yes, i am still rather obsessed over wicked. i think it's awesome. and it's all because of wicked (and elphaba) that i don't dislike green as much as i used to HAHAHA. this website has the funny quotes from the musical, they're really quite amusing :D

wicked © :D

haha. well, i prefer it to les mis (maybe not phantom though, i guess) because the storyline is happier. the songs have a more disney/broadway-ish quality to it, but i don't mind (: understandable anyway. the composer collaborated with alan menken (yeah him again hahaha :P) for pocahontas and enchanted, so no wonder the wicked songs have a similarish style. compared to the les mis songs which have a...more classical style? i don't quite know how to describe it. but then again, i am fine with both styles so it doesn't matter. anyhow, i think i'd like to watch wicked again. maybe online, if i can find it. i like it :D :D (okay that is pretty much obvious already :P)

and there is a happy ending :D haha okay phantom and les mis have *sort of* happy endings, but not quite in the same way; there were sad bits for a lot of people in the process too :/ yes, i am a huge fan of happy endings. hehe. and wicked had a lot of funny cute bits too which i liked (: it's more like disney, i suppose. which is nice in a different way from the classics like phantom. the music used quite a bit of harp too but they cheated and used a keyboard for the one i watched D< oh wells.

i am becoming a huge musical addict. haha.

psc fair on saturday was pretty amusing, and lion king after that was plain awesome (: cat sent me a bunch of funny smses that involved souvenirs and plastic bags (HAHA) and i had fun walking around with celeste, dengqing and tree in the afternoon, where we did stuff like hanging around the edb booth (heh) and talking to that scarily psychic lta guy (okay at least psychic for me, since celeste had the "i don't want to tell you" look on her face right xD). then we made our way to taka and hung around kino for a bit before going mbs. took random photos on the way, including in the mrt station (in front of a very huge pair of lips) where a random person walked right into my camera even though there was a very big space in front of us =.=

the trip to mbs was uneventful, but finding a table was rather annoying, so we became vultures after a bit. (HAHA like the vultures in lion king. :P) and on a side note, omg the ice rink is completely fake. =.= then we went up, and i camwhored a bit in the toilet with dengqing (and we attracted many weird stares oops :P but nevermind it was quite funny anyhow xD)

lion king itself was pretty good, with a lot of great puns that amused celeste and me :D :D the effects were not bad, and the mbs stage is quite cool :D the starting was good, and the elephants came walking down the aisle omg we should've taken side seats haha. :O and there were funny bits (like 'nimba? sala? ooh...a merlion!', and the reinflatable plants, and the vultures :P) a pity the kids didn't sing too well (especially since 'i just can't wait to be king' is just about my favourite song in lion king) but i guess it's not bad considering their age. haha. they were quite cute anyway. and nala was rather less gentle than she seemed in the movie, but i suppose it would have been a bit hard to portray a gentle lioness onstage. if that makes sense.

and i saw les mis yesterday :D haha okay i think i still prefer phantom. but it wasn't bad, just that the story is rather sad. the songs are okay; some parts are very nice, but those nice bits were hidden behind a bigger song which isn't all that wonderful. still, les mis is quite a nice musical i suppose. (:

watched hercules last week too! haha omg i am going on some disney/musical marathon. (on a side note i would love to see aladdin as a musical sometime. hehe :D) the storyline is not bad. heh greek mythology xD 'go the distance' and 'i won't say (i'm in love)' are both nice songs<3 and incidentally the composer is the same guy who did aladdin and pocahontas and little mermaid and beauty and the beast. like all my favourite songs omg. haha. he has eight oscars and he deserves all of them omg. his songs are awesome :D yes, i am a huge alan menken fan haha. well actually, i have been ever since i was a kid. hehe. but his songs are really great and i love his orchestrations. and the best thing is he uses a lot of harp :D :D

CAGED

2011-03-24T22:31:00.005+08:00

what is it?

caged is a book written by ad-vocation, a group of 6 rj year 6 students. it aims to advocate for the employment of recovered mentally ill patients by narrating the stories of various recovered patients whom we interviewed, and describes their journeys in finding employment. it's the product of many real-life stories, interviews, late-night meetings and our own imagination. and we hope that through this book, we can bring you on the same journey that we had for the past year and see our experience through our eyes. we guarantee that it will be an enriching and fulfilling one (:

the story:

Most of them never imagined it would strike them, but when it eventually did, it left them trapped deep within the bars of a cage filled with prejudice and intolerance. Caged is an inspiring story about three friends who embarked on a journey to unveil the life stories of these people who have been rejected by society time and again - and how they finally understood what it means to be caged; and more importantly, what it means to be free.

this is the front cover (:

to get your copy:

it's coming out tomorrow, and will be on sale any time after that! you can order it through our website caged if you have a paypal account or a credit card. alternatively, you could also place orders by emailing us at ri.advocation@gmail.com.

or you could come down to where we'll be selling them on sunday (27/3) to get your copy: we'll be there between singpost and tanjong katong shopping complex, opposite paya lebar mrt.

for more details:

you can visit our website caged for more details, or you can always ask one of the friendly ad-vocation members (celeste, deng qing, trina, xiaowei, yuan teng or me) if you have any questions! do support us please (:

just finished watching lion king 1 & 2. haha. lion king 1 was pretty nice, but it was quite sad when mufasa died :/ oh well. simba and nala made such an awesomely cute pair of cubs though :D oh and simba looked/sounded rather like berlioz. soo cute hahaha ♥

i like 'i just can't wait to be king', it's catchy and both the cubs simba and nala are in it. :D and it was part of rg's div2 problem1 '07 script. heehee.

free to run around all day/free to do it all my way

oh i just can't wait to be king~

lion king 2 was...not so sad, which was nicer :P kiara looked quite cute too, even as a grownup lioness (compared to the grownup simba/nala which weren't quite so cute :/) well at least there wasn't anyone dying in a sad way this time! except maybe nuka but that wasn't as bad as mufasa cos nuka wasn't really a good person anyway hehe.

the "we are one" is quite a nice theme i guess. wiki quotes this:

Kiara: A wise King once told me, we are one. I didn't understand him before. Now I do.
Simba: But they...
Kiara: Them? Us! Just look at them. They are us. What differences do you see?

cliche maybe. but it got the message across. (:

going to watch lion king with celeste and dengqing in may. yay. nice songs too :D

oh yes i managed to find a lot of nice music. orchestra recordings of a whole new world (omg my favourite song since i've been a kid haha ♥) and other songs like can you feel the love tonight and colours of the wind. and alot of other classical pop stuff. all played on orchestras :D

CTs ended today :D so we went out again as per tradition, haha. went to dhoby exchange for lunch, then back to rg, and then to orchard. hmm. reminds me an awful lot of what we did last year after CTs hahaha. quite a lot of amusing things happened, and we had a lot of fun (:

and i'm looking forward to the weekend with ad-vocation ♥ oh and caged is coming out tomorrow!! yay excitedddd :D shall make a new post just to advertise the website so that everyone'll see it first thing when they come to my blog yay. haha. (:

it just dawned on me how this was the first week of school, but somehow it felt like t2w5 '07. gosh.

it's been a really busy week, what with school starting and work piling up and ssef/srp submissions and YO stuff coming in. i don't think next week will be any better though, so maybe we'll just have to get used to it. being a j2 is tiring, that's for sure.

yesterday was one tiring day, but we made it to the end anyway. and i'm glad we managed to make it brighter. with the help of some old memories and inside jokes (: i'm really glad that what started out as an exhausting day became better towards the end, even if i felt so tired that i nearly wrote 15 jan on the worksheets during gp because i felt like one day had already passed since chem tutorial in the morning. running around in the middle of the day was pretty draining, but on the brighter side julie's fine now, and a good dose of laughter during the free blocks made things so so so much better. sometimes, a good laugh is all we need to get us back on track. even if we run the risk of looking slightly hysterical to everybody else. yay elmo <3

and the good thing about having had a bad day is that by the time you can finally declare that it's been a bad day, it would have already ended. (:

i have one christmas wish, which is really really simple. haha. xw claims that if you say it out, it won't come true. somehow i don't believe in that :P so i'm just going to say (well, more accurately, type) it here, that i wish for everybody around me to be happy. and perhaps a little more selfishly, i hope i can be happy too.

and i hope it comes true (:

advocation "christmas party" today, and it was awesomely fun (as usual) haha. :D

went to amk hub (to be exact, NYNY) for lunch, and spent close to 1.5 hours there eating/talking. i can't believe we talked for so long haha. from advocation stuff to commonwealth essays to random things in rg that happened years ago. and then the person kept wanting to clear the table of the leftover food but we wanted to continue sitting there talking so we said we weren't done yet. :P

then celeste and i went back to her house, and what was originally a christmas party turned into a meeting where we tried to get on with dialogues and book-publishing and whatnot. but it was really fun anyhow, whether it was a meeting or not. and celeste and i just couldn't stop laughing. actually now that i think back i can't even remember what was so funny. probably it was the process of writing the "about us", or maybe it was the copywrites, or maybe it was the "right?" "no, left" "centre!" "it's not rightleftcentre", or maybe the random stuff we were trying to tell xw over msn but i couldn't tell her anything cos celeste kept grabbing the mouse. haha. but we did have a lot of fun laughing and doing stuff. it's amazing how we can have so much fun doing this project. must be because advocation is just awesome that way (:

on a brighter note, title brainstorming last night was quite fun though. pop goes the weasel :P

spending time together is just very fun. especially like how we just have so many random memories from so long ago that when we just start talking to each other, we inevitably bring up those incidents and then we can't help but laugh and laugh :D but anyway that's our specialty, laughing in the middle of canteens/corridors. the way we did today in the taka food court. hehe. :P

since when do calluses form underneath the nail and resemble a blood clot at the same time. it looks rather gross actually. but somehow it doesn't hurt much. probably thanks to that series of glisses that have the ability to kill the thumb when the calluses aren't hard enough. T.T and i don't know why, but i am feeling generally dissatisfied with my playing nowadays. grr.

went to plaza sing today, and had a lot of fun laughing at (and doing :P) silly stuff :D this was the result of a totally impromptu-ed meeting from last night. post-12am convos ftw, haha (: went to swensen's for lunch, which included (literal) banana splits :P and we were trying to "find a present for trina", except that advocation mum was blur and didn't know what we were talking about even with all the coughing and throat-clearing xP. calling bricksworld was amusing (celeste was standing in the next shop telephoning while dengqing and i wandered into bricksworld listening to the guy talk to celeste on the phone HAHA) and editing our storyline was pretty fun too - "one early one punctual and one late"/"xiaoqing"/"uncle marcus". HAHAHA. xD yay advocationnnn ♥♥♥

as usual, advocation meeting has made me high and happy. (and excited. haha celeste xD) the post-12am convo last night had rather the same effect on me too :P putting celeste and me together at a late hour isn't exactly a good idea, as advocation mum probably found out yesterday. but it's fun and nice, and it makes us both high. hehe. :P

okay i shall start typing out our minutes for today. come to think of it, i feel like i haven't typed out minutes in so long :O

well, of course there are still certain things to worry about. like how i can't play a bunch of triplets decently T.T but on the brighter side, at least my calluses didn't disappear in 5 days (:

i shall continue feeling happy and contented. haha. :D

anyway, i'm glad xin and xw have finished SAT. now we can go out. yay. i shall take this as a cue to start daydreaming about where we can go, because singapore is a boring place. pfft. well whatever it is i am going to drag you both to ion, haha. there are all the orchestral instruments made out of pretty blue/purple lights outside the shopping mall!

altissimo

2010-11-19T21:48:00.003+08:00

the last day of school. and as predicted, quite a lot of things happened :D

let's start from the top.

so the day began with econs lecture, where we randomly crashed xiaowei's class for fun. heh heh. wandered around a bit after that and wound up in the canteen (as usual), where we met fangying, who was trying to get rid of the food 6K got from phy challenge. so we sat down at a table and started talking. and a very interesting conversation ensued :D i like her descriptions. and her gossip. lalala. xDD polar bear has very interesting information reserves. (quotes xin: "fangying is hilarious lah" :P)

so then we went over to RI to collect our cca records. and of course a lot of rubbish happened on the way there and back :D returned the records and set off to j8 to watch HP :D and advocation mum was so cute when she missed the train, haha. :P

the movie wasn't too bad, i guess. better than the 6th one (: quite funny at some parts, and xin/xw/me all got quite a big shock at one point in time :P it ended on a strange note, but i guess that's because they cut the book into two parts, and there isn't really anywhere to end off nicely.

after the movie, we went to get drinks (yay bubble tea! haha.) and walked back to school because we needed to thaw desperately. then xw went off for bridge, and xin and i set off to watch random fb videos in the comp lab. showed her the YO camp video from last year, and we both couldn't stop laughing :P haha every time i see that video i just want to laugh and can't stop. it's so amusing. and helena is totally (Y) HAHAHAHA. :D

okay after that nothing else happened because i just went home and attempted to start practicing. ended up playing random songs instead (as usual :/ but at least it'll build repertoire for tomorrow so that's not quite so bad) need to start getting down to work soon though, unless i can follow someone's example. (grrr okay i hate how i have to censor a lot of things =.=) and i conclude that my memory serves me better than my sightreading, which is obviously not a good thing at all. pfft.

now to hope that i don't die tomorrow. and the day after, actually. but if i survive tomorrow i should be okay...let's see if i can pull off a four song medley by ear, then. *crosses fingers*

and now i'm losing track of which terms have been used as titles before :P oh well, it doesn't matter if they repeat, right? i'm sure no one will go checking to see if i've used this for other posts. haha.

been going out for the past few days; it's been generally quite fun i guess. haha xD op ended on wednesday (and no matter what score i get, i'll already have exceeded my own expectations by not breaking down at all throughout the test, so there) and there was class outing after that at ecp. had a lot of fun giggling with xin and julie (yeah, right :D) and doing silly, amusing stuff in general. which included climbing trees and jumpshots on the beach. yay. (:

the next week looks like it will be...interesting. haha. and we'll be going to watch hp7 on friday :D and there's still our waffle date! haha.

some mmvs are very cute. :D and i think music works wonders. (:

i seem to always choose the wrong times to fall sick. T.T a sore throat a few days before OP isn't exactly the best thing to happen...

and i found out something...interestingly unbelievable this morning. omg. haha.

okay there have been quite a few interesting things happening lately, but i can't say most of it up here. grrr. i'm seriously considering privatising this blog altogether...

oh, here's an interesting excerpt from an msn convo:

fangying: i am not a polar bear.

me: you are too...

fangying: grrr.

perfect evidence :D

sooooo.

tech check was today; xw and i were so surprised to find out that we had the same classroom for op, haha. but it's on different days. well, no wonder we didn't compare schedules then. xD

and i haunted two LTs today. cat would probably tell me, 鬼上身. haha. i wonder what happened to the green piece of paper...:P

maybe i should privatise my blog. right now there are so many things i want to talk about but can't just in case something happens. grrr. oh well, nevermind then.

yay 3 times today ♥ lt 2 is awesome, seriously :D i feel high and happy and delighted now.

next on my list will be to fix transitions - its so lame to just play chord I to go between songs. should work on making it sound better. and especially for songs that change tempo xD

and happy 5th birthday, 111 '06. (:

WSN FTW.

i'm really amused at how we run the WSN.

heh heh. acronyms are so useful sometimes, don't you think? and they usually mean one thing: rubbish. (:

heard a dizi playing molou halfway across the canteen today. at least now i can listen to co music (and the medley songs) without feeling the usual stab of anger and injustice. i guess it just takes time to recover.

and talking today was fun, as usual. started out with the WSN in the library, then we moved on to manna cafe (where we ran into mr lu), and then finally to the canteen. and i managed to steal a few minutes on the LT2 piano before the security guard came to lock it up. it's probably about the best piano in school that i can get my hands on, haha. yay. (:

impromptu

2010-10-19T20:41:00.002+08:00

like what we did today. haha. so we were sitting down to have lunch in school, and we all felt rather bored. and we were attempting to organise a waffle outing on thurs. and then we realised that gelare had discounts on tuesday. and guess what, today is a tuesday. so we thought of going to orchard central's gelare to eat waffles. except that the plan didn't work out, and we ended up at j8 eating ice-cream instead. but it was still fun nonetheless (: had a lot of fun just talking and laughing and gossiping and essentially just doing rubbish with my love triangle haha. :P

(on how we walk into LTs and put our bags down)

xinxuan: we barge in in a single file and go "bam, bam, bam"

and then there was still the water bottle, where xw tried to water xinxuan and me by claiming i was a sunflower and xin a christmas tree. and she sprayed water all over us from that leaky orange bottle of hers. hmph. and there was xinxuan, who raised her hand lilian-style in an attempt to catch the waiter's attention. it worked out quite well and she was so surprised that it actually worked that she was momentarily at a loss for words HAHA.

pe today was badminton (again! o.0) and julie and i had a lot of fun making each other run back and forth and left and right. and after that we complained we'd made each other too tired to accompany xuanxuan to the blue room to offload math blue books. :P but she had a walkover during physics lecture today so she shouldn't complain, haha. the way we all fight for that seat is so funny sometimes. :D haha xiaowei this is all your fault. :P

anyway, ice-cream today was fun :D and talking was fun too :D haha i think the three of us haven't really talked together in quite some time. and i miss doing that, it feels really good. let's do it again soon (:

just burst the blister on the thumb. it's funny, the one that you'd think wouldn't be painful at all is the one that hurts the most. oh well. same goes for a lot of other things. appearances are deceiving.

variations on a theme

2010-10-15T23:12:00.002+08:00

i have 4 calluses on my right hand. and all of them look different. the thumb is the usual watery one, the index is the dark red spot that looks suspiciously like blood, and third is a weird peeling thing and the fourth (thankfully) is the normal yellow hard kind. it's like, some sort of variations on a theme of a blister/callus. T.T

class outing today, and we played badminton :D it was quite fun; though kind of tiring too xP class breakfast was at prata house, then we went to buy drinks and made our way to the cc. there were people doing some sort of chinese dance there, so joel started imitating them and dancing around :P talked for a while and took pw group jumpshots in front of the cc xD (hey we hardly take group photos. time to camwhore a bit more i think xD) then the chinese dance people left and we started playing. :D

badminton itself was fun (: haha all the photos are on facebook so you can go refer there. anyway, we played all the way until little kids came in and wanted to use the stage for some kind of rehearsal, then we went for lunch at thomson plaza. quite a lot of funny stuff happened there too xD

then we all went off to various places. went home and practiced a bit (and the calluses just grew bigger T.T but at least i fixed some stuff up so i am happy :D) and played some random rubbish on the piano for about half an hour (or maybe it was even more o.0) while waiting for my dad to come home. and it was funnnnnn :D lost track of all the songs i played but it felt really good. yay. so now i feel really satisfied and happy (:

okay maybe i sound a bit incoherent today. haha whatever. i'm happy, and that sums it all up nicely. (:

i have a rather strong sense of deja vu.

srp today was quite fun, even though we'd forgotten a lot of things and had to refresh our memories. and now we've moved to the next-door lab and we've got loads more space! yay. had fun catching up with isabella again (: and we finished 3 sets of stuff while talking haha. not bad :D oh, and we discovered that lianghe acts like royston sometimes. HAHAHA.

and the title has quite a few meanings today, interestingly enough.

i kind of miss...that.

that, which can stand for at least 3 very different things, all of which i miss quite a fair bit. i want a time machine to bring me back then and there again :P

but well, there's no point in thinking about the past too much. i'm sure there'll be equally nice stuff coming up in the future as well. especially now that promos are over xD like random outings, and puppy playdate. (:

a bene placito

2010-10-07T10:05:00.004+08:00

have your own definition of rubbish. (:

well, yesterday was quite amusing, with a lot of funny little bits and pieces (of rubbish! :D) from all over the place. :D

pw meeting was okay; we fixed up some bits of the wr and assigned the parts of op. assigning was amusing (quotes wang li: "yay wang li is always correct") :D hung around in the canteen for a while to wait for class lunch, whereupon xin's group came down too and we promptly started doing/talking rubbish. hahaha. (quotes xin: "there is something wrong if two people can stand around and say "rubbish!!! :D" in the way that we do") hey but rubbish is fun, and awesome, and the source of much of our laughter :D okay maybe we just have a different definition of "rubbish" though. (:

then the rest of the class appeared, and we set off to j8. saw xw talking to sirui on the way there, and decided to make an attempt at scaring her, so we walked behind her. and then she turned around =.= having a psychic friend is not good sometimes. hahahaha. :P

walking to j8 was fun, and xin and i laughed nearly all the way there xD class lunch was quite amusing, and had quite a good turnout - about 15 people or so (: and then xin started going on about her claustrophobia. and she wanted me to go to vivo with her so that she could whine to me about being claustrophobic. hmph. and of course vivo was far away so i didn't want to go. so she took the mrt there and i went back to school. and then my mum decided to bring me to vivo. =.= hahaha should have just gone there with xin and we could have met our mothers there xD walking around vivo was quite amusing - xin and i kept bumping into each other. haha. and i finally got dengqing's birthday present! yay :D along with a bunch of other things too. :D

hmmm now since when did i like going shopping so much o.0 or maybe it's just that there isn't anything to do at home, so going out is an infinitely better alternative. :P oh, and i want to get some cds too...shall try to find them later today. yes i am going out shopping again hahaha. even though all my friends are at ccal conference so there is actually no point in me being free because everyone else is not free anyway =.= oh well.

haiz time to go down and practice. now i have even more things to relearn T.T and this time round, "relearning" means a different thing from last time. =.=

"may we keep running into rubbish. *glasses clink*" :D

encore

2010-10-05T17:28:00.003+08:00

going back to practice a song is harder than learning it from scratch :/ because you know perfectly well how it should sound like, and you are familiar with all the fingerings and notes and dynamics and what not, but after this extended period of not playing it, you just can't get your fingers to listen to you and your hands to coordinate themselves. which is what is happening to my mendelssohn right now. sigh, serves me right for not practicing for so long, i guess.

"vamp till cue: a jazz, fusion, and musical theatre term which instructs rhythm section members to repeat and vary a short ostinato passage, riff, or "groove" until the band leader or conductor instructs them to move onto the next section" - from wiki, haha.

random, i know. haha i found it while i was trying to search for another title for this post, because i think i used 'recapitulation' before and i couldn't come up with anything better. well, i guess encore doesn't really suit either, but i can't find anything else that fits. anyway, so i was looking at wiki's list of musical terms, and i think this sounds pretty interesting. i mean, repeating an ostinato passage is all very well. but imagine just umm, "groove[ing]" until you are instructed to move on. haha.

on another note, i went to try random songs on the harp yesterday (: yay playing by ear is fun. so is improvising (haha i am reminded of mamma mia. now that was really awesome fun :P) but unfortunately i can only play certain kinds of songs. sigh. at least that range is expanding recently, but it's still quite limited. :/ there's this person on youtube who played e zuo ju by ear (or so he/she says) and it's pretty good. i mean, there are wrong notes and all, but most of it was there, down to the inversions and all (which i should be able to identify but somehow i inevitably end up lumping everything in one chord so the inversion all gets messed up. ><) ahhhh hahaha i am envious; i want such awesome listening skills too. ><

oh i've decided i shall end my posts with a chain of numbers. haha. let's see if they can make sense to anybody. haha. space bars are poor substitutes, i know, but they're the best alternative i can come up with...today shall be an easy one, even though it's not the one on my mind right now. haha. (:

playing yellow river makes me feel like i'm in a co all over again; but it's awesome fun :D the conductor is pretty good, and he's quite nice, which was unexpected because, well.

anyway, i think i like yellow river. better than smetana. yay (:

spiccato

2010-09-05T11:25:00.001+08:00

i still have yet to figure out what i want to do with the encore piece later. hmm. well, not like i actually have a proper part to play…i koped the v1s part yesterday, but i think i’d want to add in more stuff. i mean, what’s the point of having the harp there when you don’t exploit the most showy bits of it? :P haha. okay maybe i will try adding in a few random glisses or something. shall experiment during the rehearsal…yay improvisation ftw.

improvisation is fun, provided you know how to do it properly. xD

and i think that piece is quite nice and catchy. heehee :D

there was LJ on friday, which was relatively amusing. okay at first i felt a bit sad that i couldn’t kayak with the rest cos i was still on mc T.T and when they were all the way on the other side of the reservoir i was feeling a bit bored and lonely. after all, it isn’t exactly fun to look after a pile of bags when they aren’t even threatened by monkeys to begin with. so then i started walking. and walking. and then i realized i could probably walk to the other side of the reservoir and take more photos from there. and it was quite a long walk but with a bit of running i managed to get there in time to take some highly amusing shots. xD

stayed back until 10pm in school on thursday for pw =.= it reminded me of the om days, except that i think i preferred those times more. come to think of it, i’ve stayed back till pretty late loads of times in rg. and it wasn’t bad. in fact, i kind of liked it. but pw is a different matter…

hmm i think i shall go upload photos from teachers’ day and LJ now. after which i also need to go sort out what my stuff for later. ie. what homework i want to bring there to while rehearsal time away. haha. :P (on a side note, reminder to self: PACK IN THE TUNING KEY.)

2010-08-29T14:09:00.002+08:00

the past few days have been pretty eventful, i guess. ad-vocation yesterday; no epic quotes (aww dengqing why didn't you say more funny stuff :P) and certain strange stuff occurred. *coughs*. heh. rehearsal was alright, albeit a little boring. spent a good part of it doing math with my handphone as a calculator =.=

friday was funnnnn :D can't remember when i last laughed so much, haha. before econs was highly amusing, and after school was even more so :D we went to novena to get the teachers' day presents, and it was great fun. okay shall not post the details, but it was effectively really amusing and xin and i had a good time there :D like the fat tummy and the volcanic explosion :D :D and the person looked so embarrassed and awkward when he tried to get us to repeat that promise thing after him HAHAHA. xD okay maybe i will blog about it in detail when teachers' day is over. heehee :P

okayyy time to go for lesson again. well, at least i have practiced a bit more this week...except that i've only been practicing the part i like. oops. :P

estinto

2010-08-26T21:37:00.002+08:00

i hate having headaches. it means i can't do any form of work properly. and i can't think. =.=

on the brighter side, school was not bad today. a lot of rubbish occurred to make me feel significantly better, not least of which the lift, which took us on a joyride after physics lecture xD we entered at level 2; it brought us down to level 1, up to level 2 again, down to level 1, up to level 3, down to level one, up to level 4...okay you get the idea. not to mention that the doors opened on every single floor. when it reached the 5th floor we saw it was about to go down, so we all hurriedly piled out and walked the two more floors to math class. heh.

and then there was dora, who forgot everyone's surname during lunch :P okay not everyone, but people who'd been her classmates for 2 years xD including people like xin, fangying and mengshi, haha. conclusion: dora suffers from amnesia :D

the rest of the day was not so bad, i guess. even though thursday is a really long day and it's the pcme/gp day, at least there are enough breaks at the right places. and enough rubbish happened today to make me generally happy, even with the headache and all. (: yay i am glad for amusing things that happen to make my day brighter :D

teneramente

2010-08-14T23:43:00.003+08:00

so today was quite nice, with rehearsal in the morning (boring, but some nice stuff happened - yay thank you mr lim :D) and OT with ad-vocation in the afternoon ♥ ad-vocation was especially awesome today, and i had loads of fun laughing :D

and here come the most memorable excerpts from today again! :D

trina: i heard somewhere there was this guy who had a pea growing in his lungs.

dengqing: huh how can the pea germinate?!...there's no air!

(celeste/trina/me: NO AIR?! =.=)

dengqing: i think our group really just likes to laugh a lot

*pause*

*everyone laughs*

celeste: *notices trina has one empty seat on each side of her) ooh i realised tree is occupying three seats :D

trina: tree seeds?

me: dengqing has to go for some debrief later right?

celeste: yeah, we'll go with her.

fiona (i think that's her name hahahaha okay i am not such a stalker as she is xD): you mean the food?

(celeste/dengqing/trina/me: HUH WHAT O.O)

i love ad-vocation very very much (: the other day i was reminded of how we all have been friends since forever (okay i'm exaggerating. since p4 i suppose :P) and it made me very happy to recall all those memories we've shared :D yayyyy advocacy is our job, :D

2010-08-08T14:12:00.002+08:00

i had a rather interesting dream last night. it had something to do with wasps and rehearsal (i wonder why, when concert was so long ago =.=) but it was incredibly amusing. although i know it'll never happen in real life (for one the person would need to be really really pro and daring at the same time HAHAHA) it was still quite funny to think about. and the transition was awesome. :D

we are going to have street surveys at orchard road tomorrow. sigh pw is frying my brain. and recently everything that's been coming into my email inbox is related to pw, so when xin sent that random email this morning, i automatically labelled it "pw" without thinking. dear me. D: haha but doing chapter 4 was amusing to some extent, and googledocs made a cool replacement for msn. xD

yay now i shall go downstairs and plonk about randomly on the piano before i go for lesson :D

saltando

2010-08-06T23:28:00.005+08:00

national day celebrations were yesterday, and it wasn’t exactly the best celebration i’d been to. zouk was crowded, and there were teachers posted at every single exit to keep us all trapped in there =.= xin and i went scouting around every 15 mins or so trying to find an exit that wasn’t guarded, but obviously that failed and we bumped into teachers every time. cat was the best; she sat next to the emergency exit. and the door had a sign that said “do not open or lean on this, alarm will sound”. but teachers kept going in and out of that door and nothing happened each time. so we decided to try opening the door to see if we could escape from there. and unfortunately there was another door behind that which we didn’t dare to open =.= so we ended up still stuck in there, sigh.

bus ride was amusing, with xin julie dora and becky :D yay i love times where i just get to talk to my friends and laugh. and laugh and laugh. yay (:

and because we were so bored at zouk yesterday, we decided to take a few photos to entertain ourselves. so here they go, xin julie and me (:

and there was advocation meeting today, which was significantly amusing :D plenty of lame stuff occurred, including us putting the strawberry chocolate sweets at the other end of the table in an attempt to stop ourselves from eating them. it…worked to a certain extent, haha. at least we saved 2 for yuan teng. :P

and here are some lame excerpts from today xD:

me: i think i shall start taking minutes.

celeste: okay i shall take seconds *reaches for second helping of sweets*

trina: what else can you do with a collection of short stories?

celeste: STORYTELLING!

(just imagine us doing that to a bunch of employers HAHAHA.)

and then there was still the stuff about _____ xD HAHAHA our wcp story is awesome :D and i like that photo a lot a lot hahaha. :D and the balloon fight videos are awesome too :D in fact all those privatized things on fb just make me laugh and laugh uncontrollably. in particular the wcp story. and trina’s captions are sooooo amusing hahahahaha :D

okay time to go upload the remainder of the videos. yayyy (:

bisbigliando

2010-07-26T22:13:00.003+08:00

...title is in the memory of the trill in wasps that needs to be fast and loud at the same time. haha. except that it's not supposed to be at low volume, but whatever. :P

and the wasps is buzzing around in my head non-stop now. =.=

well it’s quite a nice song actually. and i especially like the part that first comes out as a flute solo. ♥ it played on 92.4 this morning just before i left the house. so i stood next to the radio for 10 minutes just listening to it. haha.

so yesterday was vch’s closing concert. i guess it was okay; nothing majorly good/bad happened, and pre-concert was generally quite amusing i guess. but one thing i wonder is who exactly did they invite to fill up the concert hall, because the audience was “by-invitation-only” and yet the concert hall was nearly filled. and most of them appeared to be caucasians, for some unknown reason. o.0

on a random note, everything from school recently has been reminding xinxuan and me of chaos. to be exact, chaos script. and it’s actually quite fun to scream out one of those lines together. especially the one about screaming OMG. :D :D :D route -1 is still the coolest pun though. haha. but it’s strange how just about everything nowadays is making us laugh. :D like the dwarf hitler (who cropped up during gp xD) and cat’s vector diagrams. actually, a lot of these things are only funny just because it’s xinxuan and me and it reminds us of something funny that happened in the past. well, there’s nothing much wrong with laughter. it’s good for the heart. (:

and here’s one of the pieces of rubbish from today (:

me: we never seem to do rubbish anymore.

xin: yeah we haven’t run into rubbish in a long time. let’s go find rubbish.

me: we aren’t supposed to find rubbish. it finds us.

somehow it’s all the little bits of conversation that make me smile (: it might not be funny to other people, but it just makes us happy. and that’s what matters most haha. yay love triangle ftw :D

2010-07-18T22:44:00.009+08:00

so concert went well, review was good, photos were pretty, reception was fun, camwhoring was awesome, and i am happy (: haha yay nice long string of happy things! :D i shall post about concert now, even though it was 4 days ago. let’s see if i can remember what happened. (:

went to esplanade at 3, after physics tutorial. and miffie and i never got around to taking photos of the awesome position our harps were in cos i’d left my camera in the dressing room downstairs ): then there was rehearsal, and of course the non-sibelius people finished early, so guess what, camwhoring time :D :D :D HAHAHA so fun. took a whole load of photos, and the one with the 5 pictures outside the dressing room was absolutely priceless :D hahaha we were standing in front of the pictures and posing exactly the same way the people in the photos were posing (which was *AHEM* not very glam hahahaha), and the camera was sitting on the table in front of us on self timer. and then there was this security guy who wanted to pass by, except that we were posing for the photo and waiting for the timer to set itself off. so we had to hold that pose for 10 seconds. and the look of incredulity on the security guard’s face was priceless. we couldn’t stop laughing hahahaha. it’s a wonder how we ever took the photo in the end. :D

of course, being non-sibelius people, it meant early dinner once as usual. :D and mrs wong catered ice-cream again! yay (: joined fangying theo zhiyuan and christine for dinner outside at the riverfront, and there were some very amusing things, not least of which zhiyuan’s dripping chocolate ice-cream and us waving to the people on the boat :D

then we went back to get ready. i don’t exactly remember what happened next, but i guess it was just the general flurry of getting ready, then it was time for concert.

wasps was…okayish, i think we could be heard (which was good :D) it’s quite a nice song, although in a rather strange way. not too bad overall. concerto was…haiz okay miffie and i should just trust more in ourselves and each other. it started out okay though, and i think chien teng played pretty well, especially the first two movements. and at least the parts where i was seriously seriously exposed weren’t too bad. overall it was quite good, so yay. :D

after concerto was intermission, and we hung around backstage talking and taking photos. then the sibelius people had to go back onstage, and we the non-sibelius people went happily trooping off to grab reception food :D :D :D HAHAHA so fun yay. a lot of fun stuff happened there, and mrs wong was so cute with her theory of waste reduction and disappearing mangoes. :D

then we went to crash chien teng’s room. and we took a lot of photos and did a lot of funny stuff, and it was amazingly funny ahahahaha. like the shower cap and the one minute of silence :D

all in all, concert was pretty good, and i had a lot of fun. these are the times when i just think, omg i really really love YO. and i think i don’t regret whatever i decided last time. (:

hahaha i love YOu. (and reception food gang ♥! :D)

ad libitum

2010-07-08T18:40:00.012+08:00

so here come the nicest selection of photos from wwj :D (okay well there are some i wanted to put here, but they look rather disturbing :P)

group shot #1: with the frog. this was because someone else asked us to help them take a photo, so we asked them to help us in return. :D

group shot #2: JUMPSHOT! :D

group shot #3: on the hammock thing behind the flying fox (:

group shot #4: "trapped in a carbon monoxide molecule". HAHAHA :D

shall only post up the group photos cos i'm lazy to do the rest (and blogger's format for photos is terrible T.T) but anyhow, wwj was awesome :D

a piacere

2010-07-05T13:49:00.001+08:00

yay yesterday was very very fun :D

so we met at clementi at 7am, and then set off for wcp. reached there with still some time to go before registration, so we hung around in mcdonald’s and talked :D then wwj started, but we didn’t do much except for walking around and talking :P hahaha if we don’t get the cip hours, i don’t mind actually. and i think none of us think that we really deserve it anyway xP anyway, after it ended, we went to play around the rest of wcp, which was awesomely fun :D :D :D

we played with the flying fox (and dengqing is an awesome pusher! haha :D), the merry-go-round (which reminded us all of our rgp days, but this one was much faster and much more dizzying xD) and climbed the pyramid and spent an awfully long time on it taking photos. dengqing and i hung around the top for some time after everyone left, singing random songs at the top of our voices (which were rather out of tune but we had lots of fun doing it anyhow xD). then of course there were the hammocks and the ropes and the DIDs and the dragon hahahaha :D :D :D (okay that sentence was so unintelligible to anyone else hahahaha. :P)

then we went for lunch at lot 1. and dengqing and celeste tried (but failed anyhow :P) to trick us that a random person just wanted to give us a dessert treat xD then we went walking around cos dengqing needed to get a birthday present. and celeste and i ended up getting a whole load of minitoons sweets which we treated the group to (and obviously the two of us ate the most :D) went to dengqing’s house after that and played bridge for awhile with uno cards, which proved quite amusing, especially how we had to translate the power cards to picture cards xD then xiaowei went home, and dengqing went to shower, so it was left with celeste and me in the room. and of course that wasn’t a good thing, considering dengqing’s msn window was open…HAHAHAHA. pranked jiahe, and it was soooo amusing omg. i shall paste the convo here :D

yay CTs have ended. finally. i wanted to blog two days ago, but somehow never got around to doing it…xP haha oh well. these past two days have been fun though :D

so…thursday. went out to j8 with xin and xw after the paper, where we ended up walking in circles, laughing, talking and eating xiao long baos :D haha what a pity we didn’t have much time though, cos CTs ended so late and then there was YO at night T.T but nevermind, there’ll probably be loads more chances to do this again in the future (: yay love triangle ftw.

then after they left, i met dengqing, and we spent a good half hour reminiscing about the past; singing our way through the oldest co songs we could find (including favourites like huoba and tianshan <3) and loads of other songs we both know. and of course laughing madly over our favourite topic of wuxia discussions. :D and some VERY embarrassing things occurred but HAHAHA QINGQING WE DON’T CARE DO WE :D :D yayyy hahaha we have got to do this again some other time <3 LOVE YOU LOADS HAHAHA. :D

then there was YO at night, which was happy as well (: as usual, the first part was spent laughing with miffie and sidney and rachel outside the music studio :D then there was also phototaking, which was pretty hilarious as well. (and the photo appeared today! :D yay snyo <3)

went out (again) with miffie yesterday, and walked around orchard shopping for stuff :D and yes the highlight of the day was the pair of 5-inch heels xD speaking of which, i need to go repair my old heels. otherwise i will have to wear the other one which gives me a whole load of blisters T.T anyway yesterday was fun too, and i was super high when i got back home xD yayy our harp section is awesome :D

so right now i’m feeling pretty contented and satisfied with life (: there’s rehearsal later, which means more fun and laughter hahaha. yay :D and i’m actually looking forward to july concert too :D

okay i think i get increasingly incoherent when i’m high, but then again maybe it’s because i just feel so happy in general that i don’t know what to say. YAYYYY :D :D :D

had an advocation interview today! gosh it was so funny :D :D :D

first it started out with celeste's sms that said she was going to be late. it wasn't funny in the sense of the word, but somehow it just made xiaowei and me burst out in laughter. xD then when celeste came, we went to check out the place, and decided to take a long detour to find the escalator rather than climb the stairs. and then celeste realised that she'd forgotten the chocolates, so we had to go to 7-11 to buy more, and because we were late, we ended up climbing the stairs back up again. =.=

and then there were all the funny things that happened during the interview :D

mt: you are all very quiet leh. o.0
*general silence*
mt: you should ask more questions! when reporters come to interview me they always ask a lot of questions.
celeste:...we're not reporters!

:D

and then there was xiaowei, who was priceless after the interview: "is he a psychiatrist? he speaks like a doctor" HAHAHA xw no wonder mt looked at you when he mentioned the student being "blur". :D :D :D

and of course all the usual lame stuff. like celeste's "i'm not lame, i'm celeste" which we argued about all the way from the mrt to velocity, and xiaowei's "not fun...ny", and our influencing xiaowei to be high when she's sleepy, and xiaowei's influencing tree to take the mrt in the wrong direction xP all in all, interview was pretty much amusing, but rather...不好意思 in some ways. and then we got a bio lesson on the brain. hmmm. it was amusing when mt asked if we took bio, and the only response he got was celeste who said "me". :P

but all in all, i hope the book is feasible. meanwhile, we ought to get down to continuing g's blogposts...well, at least an emo kid is easier to write about than a love story. HAHA. but what dengqing wrote was amusing, if not overly romantic...

rehearsal with miffie yesterday was awesomely funny too, even though i spent half of it stoning (as usual xP) hahaha what with our "wiggles" and finger picking xD and observing people turned out to be VERY INTERESTING. hahaha. :D

okay i shall go download more stuff for my ipod. wheee (:

polyphony

2010-06-16T22:30:00.001+08:00

talking helps stuff somewhat. i think i will never be able to live in a world without anyone to talk to. imagine the loneliness and the irritation you feel when you have to cope with everything on your own. o.0 haha but anyway i feel significantly more light-hearted now. yay (:

on a brighter note, srp today was even more amusing! haha we love ice, seats and jellyfish :D :D :D on the way back from ict this morning we were playing with the “jellyfish” and throwing them all over the place. so juliana and lianghe and weilun were pretending they didn’t know us. HAHAHA. and and lunch was amusing once again. hahahahaha “the milestone that marks the difference between 1987 and 1993 is the colour tv” :D

after lunch cheryl left us halfway cos mango was having some kind of a sale, and we managed to drag the two guys to candy empire :D :D :D ended up not getting anything though :P but it was amusing to ooh and ahh over the ridiculous prices of chocolates xD then we went back to the lab and slacked around on the comps for a while. and then it was back to work. and burying things in ice :D :D hahaha srp is turning out to be pretty amusing. and it's refreshing to see things from another point of view sometimes :D

i think i'm overusing smiley faces nowadays. o.0 hahaha when i was writing g's blogpost i kept wanting to add in smileys :P and i have a feeling my tone is much too cheerful to write g's blogposts oh no. haha.

thinking about advocation makes me high. and meetings make me excited for some strange reason. i think celeste can empathise with me here :D :D yay i am glad there will be another meeting soon. advocation ftw <3

2010-06-15T21:30:00.000+08:00

srp today was fun as well, haha. i keep blogging about srp nowadays, but i think it’s turning out to be a real source of amusement (especially the grad students HAHAHAHAHA omg they’re so funny. :D) in any case, that’s mainly what’s been happening recently. other than sl and pw, of course. xP

anyway, we were suitably entertained over lunch, and throughout most of today as well. fetching chairs was interesting (HAHAHAHA sitting down in a lift :D) and so was the random stuff we did on the comps there when we had nothing to do. hahaha. (: besides that, srp is also turning into some kind of gossip session for us :D the best bit is no one there can make head or tail of our conversation which is totally awesome xD. lianghe tried asking what we were talking about at a point in time where our conversation was particularly unintelligible to outsiders but ended up getting tsk-ed at by someone else for listening in to girls’ conversations, hahaha. and of course the rest have more sense than to try to ask :D

i need to go practice again later. D: i think the new YO practice schedule is madness. D: D: D: if anyone sees me online after 11pm today, please yell at me to go away. i promise i won’t get mad. xP

2010-06-12T15:52:00.002+08:00

hahahaha kola is so cute when she sleeps on my lap <3

hmm yesterday was pretty fun, i think. sl meeting in the morning which was awesome as always (: i love my sl group. even though it’s technically not called sl group anymore, but whatever, i am so used to calling it that already, so i shall just continue doing it. :D meeting yesterday was rather productive, i guess, even though it was at 7am in the morning and we were all tired and sleepy. but then again, celeste and i have a tendency to get high when we are sleepy. hmm.

YAY OUR FAMILY PORTRAIT. :D AD-VOCATION FTWWWW. (:

after that was srp, which was basically random equipment stock-ups. pipette tip box filling was amusing though, and rather therapeutic too, turning out to be more of a gossip/act silly session than anything else :P but it was fun, and lunch was fun too, with the grad students back on their usual topic of *cough cough*. HAHAHA. they are terribly amusing sometimes. xD oh and we passed by xin’s house on the way to have lunch, and they were all discussing how the roof garden looked interesting and saying how they wanted to go up there. so i was like HAHAHA I’VE BEEN THERE AND YEAH IT’S AWESOME. (:

after lunch was…shopping trip! HAHA. but seriously it felt so much like going to the supermarket :D :D except that all we got were empty glass bottles and flasks. but the trolley was amusingly fun to play with. i was strongly tempted to sit on it and go speeding down the corridor :P haha i love speed and heights too much for my own good, i think. which is probably why i love theme parks so much.

which reminds me…xw xin and i TOTALLY have to go on that trip next time :D hahaha it may seem rather like building castles in the air, but i think this is one of the castles that can materialize :D (well actually it has materialized already, there are loads of castles there already i think hahaha :P) anyway, we definitely have to go next time k (: (:

okay i think i’m on a high right now. just look at the number of smileys i have used today haha. but then again, these few days have been pretty great, so it’s understandable that i’m high now, isn’t it? (:

2010-06-07T22:12:00.002+08:00

so srp today was quite amusing, what with the snowmen and the snowballs and the slush piles and the bubble blowing :D :D :D haha i make it sound like we played in the lab the whole day, when in actual fact it was only the last half hour or so xP i think spending a full day in that lab made us a little too high, haha. but it was fun nonetheless. SNOWBALLS FTW. :D

i quote the quote of the day: "don't be so petty like an auntie" (:

i think the grad students are amusing sometimes. :D

I LOVE MY TRIANGLE :D

today was awesome (with the exception of smo, which was…hmm.) went out with xinxuan and xiaowei after the paper, and it was great just going out and laughing and acting silly and generally having loads of fun :D

originally we planned to go j8 for lunch, but xiaowei forgot to get pencils from her locker, so halfway through we had to turn back and go back to school =.= in the end we decided we might as well go to orchard for lunch and drop by rg on the way to collect xiaowei’s o level cert. so we went traipsing off to orchard (rg territory xDD) but took rather long to get there cos we overshot orchard mrt :P and eventually ended up eating lunch in shaw centre. at the place that rg (or was it ydsp) always caters food from…or so we think. xD

then we went back to rgs to get xiaowei’s cert. nearly missed the bus stop again -_- haha too busy talking, i think. after collecting the cert, we went on a small tour around the school. it’ll probably be the last time we do it again i guess xP then we went to the kschee theatre and sat around for awhile before finally setting off for plaza sing (:

this time round, we made sure we didn’t miss the bus stop haha. :D went to carrefour and bought random things before making our way to xinxuan’s house. watched one disc of the sound of music, which was awesome as usual. and xiaowei spent half the time sharpening pencils HAHAHA. (:

then we made our way up to the roof garden on the 50th floor and the sky terrace thing on the 26th floor and OMG, xin’s house has SUCH AN AWESOME VIEW. :D :D :D took loads of photos on the roof, including an awesome jumpshot on the platform and several more on the spiderweb-pyramid which was so totally awesome to climb (: YAY omg so fun haha. i totally love times like these spent with my friends. YAY OUR TRIANGLE ROCKS :D

unfortunately, i can’t quite find the wire that connects my phone to the comp, so i can’t upload photos =.= will upload them another day. or maybe i will send them to xiaowei, and ask her to upload. heh heh :P

spent a rather long time up on the roof gardens camwhoring and climbing around xP there were all those interesting structures and platforms scattered all over the 50th/26th floor and we had awesome fun climbing around them :D well, at least, i did. haha.

on a side note, i think you two have really shown me what true friendship is about. i remember how i used to be rather apathetic towards friendship when i was in primary school. and i used to think that i never had best friends. but after i got to know the two of you, i’ve realized that now i can safely say that yes, i do have best friends, and they are the two of you <3

and yes, we TOTALLY must do this again next time. (:

I LOVE MY TRIANGLE <333 (haha i think this is the third time i’ve said it. but it’s true! :D)

orchestra playing just has this uncanny ability to get me high every single time. i don’t know what makes me so happy to play in one, but simply sitting there working together with a bunch of other people to produce wonderful music just has this general feeling of coolness about it. that’s why i think orchestras are just awesome that way (:

and i didn’t realize how much i missed playing in a co until i decided to play raco. sure, YO is awesome. but, well, co’s just different. and no, i don’t think it has anything to do with the difference between western and chinese music. perhaps it’s just the difference in my roles: after all for harp i sit there and count bars half the time, while for liuqin i get to play loads more so i don’t feel like i’m only there for decoration :P but nevertheless, i’m glad i decided to play raco, because it’s really becoming more enjoyable than i thought it would be. plus i get to play with my two most awesome batchmates again <333 so all in all, i pretty much love raco already. haha. :D

meanwhile jc’s getting complicated pretty fast :/ people change, things change, and all of a sudden nothing’s the same anymore. had a good talk with xin and cat during pe yesterday (and of all times for me to be sick: they played captain’s ball not soccer ><) about people and the world in general, and i guess it was pretty thought-provoking. i guess it’s times like these when i’m glad my friends are still my friends. (:

it's probably the most artistic photo i've ever taken with my friends haha. it's an awesome photo: dengqing yifei and me + pipa erhu and liuqin :D and we somehow managed to get all the instruments in at cool angles.

though every time i look at it, i inevitably start to miss sec 2 days.

oh well, everything changes eventually, doesn't it? and we're still as good friends as ever. :D

that aside, i hope another explosion doesn't happen tomorrow, but i think it's kind of futile to hope for something like that. so let's just hope the reaction tomorrow needs very high activation energy so it won't take place spontaneously. like VERY HIGH. and that the extent of damage caused by the explosion is not too great either.

back to the chem tutorial.

a double dosage of very annoying things just had to happen today. oh well, i shouldn’t be bothered about it, firstly cos it’s not worth it, and secondly cos it was kind of expected. but still, it was quite irritating while it lasted.

did two personality tests today: one during GP and the other was the MBTI one. the GP test was highly amusing. it was some scoring thing and if you score between 0-180 you tend to think more like a male, while if you are between 150-300 you tend to think more like a female. so julie, wang fei and i concluded we are awesome, because our score was between 150 and 180, which means we can get along with both groups of people. so we can get along with the world in general. awesome. :D

MBTI test was…interesting. i am now ESTJ. it sounds quite strange to me, cos i’ve done this test 3 times and each time i did it i got ENTJ. i’m so used to being ENTJ that even simply saying ESTJ sounds weird. xP well, apparently now i’ve changed. and i’ve become loads more extroverted too. guess why :D

now i have a slight bit of a dilemma. sigh why am i always facing dilemmas this year. okay i will just think more about it, and decide tonight.

chamber concert tomorrow. jiayou all the people performing. and jiayou yinger for your harp concerto even though i don’t know if you will see this. haha. :D

2010-04-16T23:12:00.002+08:00

you know how they say laughter makes the best medicine? it's kind of true really. like, literally true.

i'm kind of sick now. as are xin and julie...i quote xin: "we'd make a good sniffing choir". and during econs i thought i might have been getting a fever cos i felt cold and no one else did. but a good dose of laughter after the lesson while hanging around in the tutorial room waiting made me feel loads better. :D conclusion: LAUGHTER IS GOOD FOR YOU. (:

on another note, it's kind of strange how my blog posts have been reduced to one-liners and/or short paragraphs. i used to list out almost every single tiny minute detail of each day. well, that was an awfully long time ago. i am just getting lazier and lazier. haha.

meanwhile, let's go find more things to laugh at (:

i am getting fat. oh dear. you know, when you are a harpist i think you tend to be particularly sensitive to the amount of fat on your arm. to be specific, the fat on your left arm. D:

anyway. hcl results released yesterday. it didn’t really sink in until i reached home, which was about 5.30pm. haha yes, i know i’m slow. even with xinxuan next to me at the bus stop drumming it into my head. ahaha. i think i was just…too dazed to understand what it really meant. :P quite unexpected really, considering the fever and all? and the annoying teacher who scolded me after the paper for a lack of social responsibility just cos i didn’t tell her my temperature. which is just plain silly, because i took panadol so there wouldn’t be any temperature anyway. -_-

but let’s just say i’m relieved and happy. well to be honest i am more relieved than happy. xP and good job batch ’09! :D :D

went out with xin and xiaowei and daphne after that cos xin wanted ice cream and xiaowei and daphne were going to buy uniform and…well, i just wanted to go out, seeing as how we won’t be able to go much longer when school starts. and mummy was in quite a good mood, so we went out to shaw where there were about 20 over rgs girls buying school uniform. spent quite a long time in bibi&baba, or to be exact, on the bench outside of it.

then we went to orchard central for xinxuan’s ice cream. it ended up somewhat like the time miffie and i were at marina trying to find a [relatively cheap] hair salon, cos the further we walked the more ex it got. went to get bubble tea in the end xP and walked around a lot more, although we spent most of the time talking instead. haha.

rjc open house tomorrow, and JIP the day after. my ogl called last night, while rachel was blasting hannah montana on the tv. so i ran to take refuge in my aunt’s room. i bet the ogl thought i was weird. like, hannah montana?!

so, is anyone in BW 06 [aka GINGERBREAD]? haha. at first i thought gingerbread was a pretty lame name, but now compared to the others i think it’s not too bad. ahahaha. :D

but i don’t like the fact that it’s grouped according to house ):

oh well. in any case it can’t last longer than a week. so that’s not too bad. meanwhile i shall go back to practicing. (:

this is funny :D

One evening, a C, an Eb, and a G go into a bar. Bartender says: "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So Eb leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them.

After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but isn't sharp enough.

D comes in and heads straight for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me, I'll just be a second."

Then A comes into the bar, but the bartender isn't convinced that this relative of C isn't a minor. He notices a Bb hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims, "Get out, you'r the 7th minor I've found here tonight."

The Eb, not easily deflated, comes back the next night in a 3 piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender (who used to have a nice corporate job until his company downsized) says, "You're looking sharp tonight, come on in. This could be a major development." Which proves to be the case, as the Eb takes off the suit and everything else, and stands there au natural.

Eventually, the C sobers up, and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. The C is brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and sentenced to 10 years of da capo without coda at an upscale correctional facility. On appeal, however, C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.

The bartender decides, however, that since he's had only tenor so patrons, with the soprano out in the bathroom, and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest, and closes the bar.

i have decided. [or so i think.]

well, i should think i have! or else i will have spent the entire plane ride back from london thinking about nothing. and it's about time i decided too.

perhaps i knew all along that this was what i'd choose. though maybe i was more attached than i'd realised :P

but i shan't tell anyone what i've decided. in case i still change my mind. ahaha. xD

maybe sometimes too much determination isn't a good thing.

...and a happy (belated as well) new year to everyone. haha.

maybe this is a tad late, but thanks to all those around me who made 2009 a great year (:

and i realised i haven't been replying tags in eons, so here we go. some of the tags are really outdated, though. xD

lishan: HAHA slow :D yes i'm glad i made one more friend this year too! (:

fangying: hmm i guess this is kind of late for what you meant it for, but thanks anyway (: & see you soon! :D OH AND SEND ME CONCERT PHOTOS OKAY [i shall go online and bug you for them when i come home]

dengqing [i shall reply 3 tags at once.]: 1. well, i hope so. but i still am not sure whether i want to risk joining co again or not. 2. HAHA YES HZGG+WXXS+SINGING OUT OF TUNE IS FUNNN :D and have you become better at playing bridge with your...umm, parents' friends now? 3. ehh why you never reply my email? haha sure okay, if i crash prac i'll help you pay. will tell you if i do (:

shona: yup seems like sec 2 class was the nicest for lots of other people i know too. haha though i guess i still like quite a few people in 412 as well xD

celeste: and a happy (even more belated) new year :D zomg not you as well WHY IS EVERYONE ADDICTED TO BRIDGE. o.0

yay done (:

[edit, because i don't feel like creating a new post :D]

on another note, i am thinking of moving to another blog, because blogger cannot privatise certain posts. cos there are actually some things i want to post about but don't really want others [well, except certain friends] to see. currently my blog has been very neutral [okay, except for the co post, but that was because i was too mad to think] and probably doesn't say much about what i really feel. xD

but then again, the last few times i attempted to move, i ended up coming back here anyway. mainly cos i like the blogskin :D yes alright, i am childish, and i still like forever friends. haha. (:

so, swetha came back yesterday, and we had a 213’07 outing again, for one of the first times since…well, i can’t quite remember since when. but anyway. it was great :D 213 ’07 <333

started out with celeste’s house (: played with riko and mango! yayy :D and riko remembers me(: [ok well, maybe he only remembers the food, but anyway] only now riko doesn’t want to play anymore and spends his time acting dao and dignified instead. >< hmph. mango was cute, but very active and…”mouthy”. ahahaha. played until the others came, then had lunch :D then we went crashing miss lim’s house :D :D going there was fun, it was raining and celeste dengqing and i shared one umbrella. got rather wet in the process of attempting to keep everyone under the umbrella, and soaked julie and swetha who were both behind us by walking under a bunch of low hanging plants, so when our umbrella brushed against them, water sprayed backwards onto them both xP hahahaha sat around in miss lim’s house and talked for quite a while, then we dragged her back to celeste’s place to get her to see riko + mango. and she refused to carry mango ): nevermind in 3 years time we will carry mango to her house and make her carry mango and realise her SMART GOALS! ahahaha.

had a phototaking spree, where we put keshie on lots of people’s heads :D and then julie zoomed in on keshie alone every time we did that (: hahaha and then we tried to extend the “weiqing must be nice to keshie cos keshie rocks” proof to swetha, but xinxuan said it was impossible, because we had to prove weiqing and swetha are not distinct, which of course isn’t the case xD

then miss lim and a few others went home, and we hung around celeste’s house for awhile. ended up playing bridge [yes, again.] in pairs, since there were 8 of us. then we went off to amk hub for dinner, and then went to julie’s house. dengqing and i got very high at the mrt station while taking mrt to julie’s house, and randomly began singing songs, except that both of us were severely out of tune, and to top it off we were singing in different keys too. so as you can imagine, it was quite terrible and probably sounded really weird. but anyway, we knew what we were singing anyway hahahahaha it’s called TELEPATHY. :D fell into an animated discussion about wu xia xiao shuos on the mrt and talked and talked until we actually reached julie’s house. which means the two of us just talked nonstop for about 45 mins or so. hahaha.

played bridge again at julie’s house, at dengqing’s request. this time it was quite amusing, like the way celeste misunderstood weiqing’s question about washing which resulted in julie and me winning everything before weiqing even realised she could have washed. hahaha.

okay that just about sums up 12 hours. haha okay if you look at it like that it seems like we didn’t do much, but i had fun even just sitting around and talking. it was pretty great to just spend time with 213 ’07 (: it’s kind of strange how my sec 2 class is the closest to me, even though i’ve spent 2 years with 312/412 and 111 was the first class i had in rgs. o.0

~213 07 – we’re the car and you’re the taxi ♥

hahaha i meant to post about concert 2 days ago, only i kind of forgot. heh. :P

anyway, friday was yo concert (: prelude to a symphony <3!

before concert was damn funny :D had a lot of fun screaming with laughter in the corridor before concert :D INDIAN POKER XDDDDDD [omg i think of it now and i still want to laugh o.0 on fri i actually laughed until i nearly cried -.-] AHAHAHAHAHA i don’t know when i last laughed so much. the entire thing was just plain hilarious :D no actually, make that the present tense, because it’s still hilarious :D

[and now after thinking of the indian poker now i can’t stop laughing and i don’t feel like talking about concert anymore xDDD]

okay on a more serious note, concert itself was fine, i think (: quite satisfying, even if i did kill my finger in debussy on the gliss going up, because i didn’t want to use the pick [i still maintain that fingers sound better though they are admittedly more painful xD] oh and yinger lent me her harp for glazunov which was really nice to play on :D yay thanks so much yinger (: rach was fun, it usually is because it’s really slack for me (: can just sit there and listen to the others play, so fun :D and then before we went onstage for rach leejing went ‘indian poker’ to me and i nearly wanted to laugh out right there and then xD and in the middle of rach i was somehow reminded of it and wanted to laugh too. i think i smiled. heh oh well hopefully no one caught me smiling to myself for seemingly no reason at all. okay maybe i should stop talking about how it was for me, cos it’s the big picture that counts for the audience :P but oh well as a whole it was pretty good too i think. and all the soloists sounded great that night :D [including the guest soloist but obviously he sounded great right, i mean, he always does xD]

i feel like starting from the front and narrating the day out the way i usually do, or rather, the way i used to do. but somehow all i remember of pre-concert rehearsal is *drumroll* indian poker. and mrs wong’s ice cream, and cards in the corridor. HAHA xD

so there, that was concert. and it was fun. last vch concert for quite some time. one year, at least (:

oh and happy birthday 412 ‘09, your birthday was the same day as yo concert :D

adagio

2009-11-20T00:13:00.004+08:00

more people than i expected actually do read my blog. and more juniors than i expected actually read the previous post about rgco. oh well. i suppose i still don't regret posting it up, because i was really very mad, and i guess i still am, a bit. but after seeing how i affected so many people, i am starting to feel a bit sorry, and i'd just like to reiterate the fact that I REALLY DON'T BLAME ANY OF YOU, and i really really mean that. it's not just something i'm trying to say to make you feel better. it's just that i really don't blame any of you, and i hope you aren't blaming yourselves either because of anything i did or said :P and although i may be angry, i am not angry at you! truly. (:

but rgco, i am still disappointed in you.

and now about rjco. haha dengqing, i shall reply your tag here. i don't know, i really don't know. well, i guess i sort of want to join. there is the practical side. ie, i need a cca in rjco, in case yo has a concert which doesn't involve me next year. which would mean some problems with cca attendance. and since i love orchestras, the most practical thing would be for me to join rjco? because i really really enjoy playing in orchestras. and i already have experience in playing liuqin. so isn't joining rjco the easiest thing to do?

but on the other hand, i am really disappointed in rgco. it's happened too many times. and i suppose i'm just afraid that if i join rjco, it will just turn out the same way, and i'll just end up getting disappointed all over again. and obviously, i don't want that to happen. no one in their right mind would. so, yes, i am stuck. i really really don't know what to do. i both want to join and don't want to join at the same time. i just wish someone could tell me whether i'd be disappointed again if i join rjco. but of course, no one can tell me that. except maybe time. and by then it would be too late.

oh well. i guess i shall just consider it carefully over the holidays.

and thanks to all those who have played a part in cheering me up the past week. you know who you are. :D

today was pretty fun :D haha i wonder why everyone seems to think i went for fam, or rather, why everyone thinks i am the sort of person to go for fam xD well, true, i guess i would have gone if i hadn't found out that ntu grad students paid 30, and we have to pay 65. and of course, i didn't want to go through the hassle of finding a table when i was personally not very inclined to go anyway. anyway, went out shopping with lilian gracia and xiaowei, and it was quite fun, especially plaza sing xD where we went to the arcade and laughed our heads off. haha. and YAY i finally got to wear the earrings which i haven't had the chance to wear in ages. HAHA i think earrings is like the only piece of jewellery i really really like. (: (: (: my mum will probably stare at me weirdly when she sees that. but it's true! hahaha i love earrings :D

okay okay i shall go back to writing farewell notes now. later cannot chiong out by tomorrow, then i will feel so guilty. even though i am mad at rgco, i am not mad at my juniors. emphatically not. (:

2009-11-11T23:06:00.010+08:00

OH MY GOD, I AM ANNOYED. VERY MUCH SO. THIS IS VERY IRRITATING.

i am sick and tired of this. rgco, when will you stop being such a dream breaker, and a wet blanket on top of that. yes, i am annoyed at you. YES, YOU.

why do you have to keep doing such things to me. wasn't what you did last time enough? and then you keep doing it, over and over again. and it's not like it was anyone's fault, which kind of only makes it worse, because then there is nothing to blame but the unfortunate circumstances? which wasn't anyone's fault to begin with, because no one made those circumstances happen. but anyway, back to topic. now i am very irritated with you, for perpetually spoiling all my plans and dreams and things that could have come true easily BUT OH NO, YOU HAD TO STEP IN AND RUIN IT ALL. and i have just about had enough, so now i am going to rant, and this rant is going to be public, because i'm not afraid to let people know just how irritated i am.

before i begin i shall just put a disclaimer, and get this clear. i am not blaming anyone in co for this at all, and i still love you all my juniors, even those who were in charge, or sort of in charge, or could have been in charge, like yunan, delia, michellin, leevoon, etc. i know it's not your fault. i still like all of you, especially as individual persons, and i have nothing against you or your personalities xD but i am just rather annoyed with co in general, like the circumstances it puts me in, and stuff like that. and well, if you don't like that, you're not going to like what's coming next, so i suggest you don't read on, and if you do anyway then it's too bad for you that you had to read what you didn't like and i accept no responsibility for any of the consequences.

anyway. so on to the main topic.

maybe i should say what happened.

well, so i have just realised TODAY [yes it is one day before arts fest busking, how wonderful] that the people who are supposed to be playing the song are OBVIOUSLY, TOTALLY NOT READY. [well, if they can't play without anyone clapping, how ready can they be =.=] and yes, i only found out TODAY. LIKE WTH TODAY?!?! and it is annoying, like after i arranged it all, and only to find out that the people can't play? if this is not annoying, i don't know what is. and that isn't all. they're going to cut out daji, which means huoyuanjia's front part is totally empty. and there is no nice zhongqin in faruxue. IT'S GOING TO SOUND HORRIBLE TOMORROW, I JUST KNOW IT. and yes, NOBODY TOLD ME ANYTHING UNTIL TODAY, AND EVEN THEN I HAD TO FIND OUT ON MY OWN, WHICH IS THE ULTIMATELY IRRITATING BIT. i am not trying to make myself out to be more important than i am. BUT WTH. i am after all the one who arranged it. i think i have the right to know.

RGCO I AM SICK OF THIS. THIS HASN'T BEEN THE FIRST TIME. I THOUGHT THAT SINCE THIS WAS MY LAST TIME YOU COULD AT LEAST HAVE BEEN BETTER.

i realise maybe saying all this seems childish, because i can't do anything about it, and perhaps blaming rgco for everything doesn't help matters one bit? BUT I DON'T CARE NOW ANYWAY, BECAUSE I AM JUST SO FRUSTRATED I WANT TO RANT.

and anyway, that isn't all. there is still all the injustices rgco has done me in the past. AND IT IS STILL CONTINUING TO DO SO.

i cringe when i think of what's going to happen tomorrow. oh my, it will be dead embarrassing, i predict they will all get lost and for that one hour they are going to really chu1 chou3, judging from what i've heard today. and i feel damn cheated of all my efforts, and i can just picture the look on some people's faces when they hear of it, and i am just irritated and disappointed at the same time, but more angry than anything else.

WHEN WILL YOU STOP DOING THIS TO ME.

i predict some people are just going to laugh and be pleased when they see that, annoyingly enough. that was kind of the reason why i always wanted to have stuff going my way, so i could smirk at those highly annoying people, but rgco seemed to always be on their side, for some strange reason.

and it is unfair, to say the least, because it is not my fault. and i did everything just fine and the midi of the medley sounded okay, if i do say so myself, like it wasn't bad or anything [and if you don't believe me you can listen to it yourself and see] and it was once again UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WAS NO ONE'S FAULT [oh great, now i have moved on to blaming circumstances. argh whatever, i think i am so irritated i am in the mood to blame anything right now] SO YES, THAT WAS VERY INFURIATING.

RGCO WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS. YOU'VE REALLY MADE ME MAD. SO MAD THAT I AM EVEN GOING TO MAKE THIS POST PUBLIC AND I WON'T REGRET IT.

i am totally not going to ever look at co again anymore. seriously. this is just too annoying. even the last thing i did in rgco couldn't even be something i would like. it couldn't even be something my way, and it couldn't have been something that would make me proud to be part of rgco. somehow after last year, all my enthusiasm just fizzled out. i wonder why.

[well, actually i don't, because i know perfectly well why]

ANYWAY TO CONTINUE ON [oh my, this is turning into a long rant, but yes, i am that irritated. and that angry. and that furious. and even ranting cannot calm me down] i also wish someone could have told me so i could have done something about it! you know, the reason why i tried for this thing it because i kept getting my hopes shattered by NONE OTHER THAN RGCO. and because i am such a fighter, i refused to give in, and refused to let the horrid circumstances wear me down, and refused to admit defeat, and that's why i tried to get my song in another way. [AND WHEN I DO, I FIND OUT MUCH TOO LATE THAT THE PEOPLE CANNOT PLAY IT.] and i mean, it's not my fault, the medley sounds fine and all - it's just that they can't play! and there is no daji. and they didn't tell me. which is just so irritating. it's going to sound terrible tomorrow, and the worst thing is i know it but i can't do anything about it, AND IT'S NOT MY FAULT AT ALL, and it will probably either sound too simple [AGAIN], because people are going to get lost and stop playing, or sound discordant [okay maybe i would rather it sound simple, if it comes to that.] but anyway, that isn't the point, the point is that IT'S GOING TO SOUND TERRIBLE TOMORROW. like it did last time when they all went to show wls the song when i wasn't there, and then she said it was too simple. and that was because THEY COULDN'T PLAY, AND SO THEY STOPPED PLAYING, SO THERE WERE MISSING PARTS, AND THAT'S WHY IT'S TOO SIMPLE. SO NOW YOU ALL KNOW THE REAL STORY BEHIND THAT ISSUE.

this is getting to be too much.

YOU KNOW WHAT. I SHALL JUST CONCENTRATE MORE ON YO FROM NOW ON. INSTEAD OF TRYING FOR THINGS IN CO THAT ARE NEVER GOING TO COME TRUE ANYWAY. YO IS OBVIOUSLY SO MUCH NICER, AND SO MUCH BETTER, AND SO MUCH MORE FUN.

yay now i am very glad i have yo to cheer me up. (:

actually, i was thinking of that at the beginning of this year. or at least, halfway through the year. and i wanted to post that up before, but i didn't have the heart to say it, because i still felt somewhat attached to rgco. WELL RGCO YOU JUST BLEW IT. NOW I DON'T FEEL ATTACHED TO YOU ANYMORE.

well, i'm sorry. but you had your chance. in fact, you probably had a hundred over chances. and you messed every single one of them up.

2009-10-19T18:57:00.002+08:00

i feel like i am drowning. in a pile of work. and it's not so much the work itself that is stressful. it's more of the fact that there is a lot of different kinds of work to do. so much for being free after eyas. i don't even want to write out a to-do list. i will probably faint when i see its length. somebody, help. ><

fine

2009-10-16T20:47:00.004+08:00

okay. not too bad.

don't feel like commenting any more. well, it's not as good as i would have wanted. but at least it looks alright. at least it is better than my midyear gpa. much better. with luck, the right subjects get moderated.

i shall not comment further about my gpa.

finished watching hairspray today. not too bad, i suppose. i think i have been watching a lot of tv recently. probably cos we watch a lot of movies in chinese options. actually i wouldn't have gone for it if xin and xiaowei weren't going. i don't exactly like examining the role of mothers in chinese films. we watched i not stupid 2 yesterday, and i was rather surprised that i actually did cry a little bit. maybe because it was really quite sad at some parts. i haven't cried during a movie/tv show in a long time. not even during the taiwan one we watched the other day where practically everyone incl mu lao shi was tearing, with the consequence that i felt very cold-blooded for not crying. hmmm. perhaps i relate to the i not stupid one better. cos it talks about singapore parents. and i think the mother in the taiwan show is kind of stupid. and i spent more time thinking how idiotic and hateful the grandma is than being touched by the love between mother and son. oh well. i am kind of glad my parents are not really that bad, i guess. okay they are not perfect, but nobody is, and at least they are not the worst kind of parents. and i would kind of rather mummy be the way she is, than the way those parents in i not stupid are, or than the way the grandma in the taiwan show is. even if i don't really like some of the stuff she does.

yo is starting next week. hmmm. i should go practice. haven't touched rachmaninoff and debussy in ages. and i haven't even started looking at glazunov yet. D:

ostinato

2009-10-14T20:44:00.000+08:00

something rather silly just hit me.

"when he says okay, does he really mean okay? or does he mean something else?"

i think my om team knows what i mean. xinxuan also.

on second thoughts, perhaps they don't remember.

it better really mean okay D:

♥ FOURTWELVE FTW!

…and there goes my last net carn ):

but on the bright side, i did enjoy it. even though it was raining and slippery towards the end, and even though i didn’t exactly shoot very well [i think i should do something about my confidence. but anyway] we still didn’t do too badly! hahaha i don’t even remember the results now, like how many games we won or lost but hahaha it doesn’t matter! it was so fun! three cheers for fourtwelve and its awesome netball team and its awesome cheer team and its awesome banner comm ♥

and there was a lot of BUBBLE TEA! :D YAY YAY YAY (: only sad thing is that my eyes were kind of swollen this morning [yeah which resulted in like everyone asking me what happened -_-] so couldn’t take photos ): ): ): argh and then when my eyes get swollen my double eyelid just totally disappears and it swells up really badly ): but nevermind at the end it was still okay (: took class photos! with the banner (: and playing was fun lah, even though it was wet and the ball was slippery and we kind of kept risking falling down :P ♥ the 412 netball team :D

then i went back and showered because rain and sweat mixed together on my class shirt was kind of disgusting. and then i met xinxuan just outside the gate [ehhh and she refused to wait for me after like 10 seconds - i can't run 100m in 10s okay and you know it ><] and then she started telling me about some p-adic thing when i finally caught up with her. o.0 okay i haven’t started on the exercises yet! D: oh but on a side note dr lim is amusing. like how he started playing the mozart turkish march on the piano while we were at the toilet. and then when we returned he stopped. -_-

okay anyway then we went to mwasa’s house (: it was kind of hard to find. like everywhere said it didn’t exist -.- okay anyway but we eventually managed to get there. the rest were having karaoke when we arrived. i didn’t know like practically all the songs, except for a few [like do re mi -.-] and various other stuff that i’ve heard the tune of but never heard the words. haha. but it was still quite fun to watch everyone sing too. mengshi fell asleep during the karaoke. HAHA.

then there was a movie. some random thing which involved a really desperate girl -_- and several other disgusting scenes. sighhh. and oh there were an awful lot of kissing scenes too. but the sofa is comfy to sit on and the pillows are nice to hug :D siyi kept making snide comments throughout the movie, some of which provided pretty good entertainment compared to the movie XD like the one where there was this ultra long mushy scene where the two people just stood there and talked and talked and then siyi went, “aiyah hurry up kiss lah.” OMG haha that was like priceless. :D

the movie lasted a long long time. went down and looked at mwasa’s dogs after that (: they’re SO CUTE OMG. hahaha. i miss furball ): oh well. sigh.

after which we played bridge and mahjong. haha mahjong was funny :D i realised i kind of forgot most of the rules and the only thing i remember is how to game -.- [okay i strongly suspect that’s not the name for it. nevermind] but it was still very funny anyway (: oh and there was the football match :D hahaha it was fun! there was this little football table thing. okay i have no idea what it’s called, but anyway it’s the little table with a lot of football players and you control them by turning handles (: haha so fun so fun. then there was dinner and the teachers came and beiqing and joann came back and we played i never [forfeit: to eat the snowskin mooncake that guanrong and co. made] and talked for a while. wanted to go carry lanterns but it was raining ): nevermind, maybe we will do it another day.

then after that was football game no 2! played with mrs wong [who was the goalkeeper], fangying and muni, against mr ow and dharani :D HAHA WE WON (: and then dharani was like “mr ow i thought you were supposed to be good!” which was after all the reason why we played 4 against 2 :P

then karaoke session no 2! haha i still didn’t know any of the songs, except sound of music and colours of the wind :D but nevermind it was alright to just sit and watch i guess? oh and tap my foot :P well okay my toes, to be exact. okay it’s not a very good habit but nevermind, doesn’t matter. especially since no one can see your toes anyway when you are wearing shoes so tapping is perfectly alright. :P oh haha fangying does it too. and then during the first karaoke while we were both happily tapping away she suddenly asked me “4/4 is it?” and i thought she was referring to like the class 404, so my immediate thought was something along the lines of interclass karaoke last year. and it turned out she was talking about the tempo being 4/4 -_- but anyway i think most pop songs are 4/4? i don’t know why. probably it’s just a more friendly rhythm :D especially for songs you want to clap to and dance to i think.

well anyway, but net carn this year was great (: sigh i wish i didn’t have swollen eyes this morning but nevermind it’s still alright i guess! at least i had fun (: playing was great, and so was cheering the class on, and so was the bubble tea :D yay yay bubble tea! haha beiqing bought us some, and then mr ow bought us a tray (: yay thanks so much!

but anyway i am still very glad and very happy (: at least i enjoyed my last net carn! my last time being in rg and playing in the class netball team :/ haha i’ve been playing ever since i was sec 1 so that’s 4 years straight as a gs :P

okay i am starting to feel a little sleepy. i shall go to sleep. photos may or may not be posted up at a later date. depending.

♥ FourTWelve!

~ you can’t puff us down…FOURTWELVE WE RULE (:

staccato

2009-10-01T17:49:00.000+08:00

and there, now the midis are finished. (:

can’t wait to see what the actual thing sounds like when we play it. haha anvil studio is not that reliable. i might as well have played it on the piano. considering i had to sub things like piano for yangqin, it is obviously going to sound different when we really play it as a mini orchestra. but nevermind, at least it sounds fine now so i think my chords were alright. at least i can be assured i didn’t arrange some discordant thing? haha.

net carn is on saturday! my last net carn ): so i’m going to make sure i enjoy it :D and there’s still class outing after that! yay (: haha okay we need to do something about cheer [i have a feeling we will end up chionging it like last year] and i will probably end up helping even though i am not in cheer comm. same as with banner -_- on tues yifei dora and i ran around after options getting the forms and signature [mr evans signed it, on behalf of mr ow…should be okay right? should be…] and then we ran to j block to put it in mrs anis’s locker. sigh. and i am not in banner comm either. [okay actually none of us were.] i seem to be getting myself involved in anything and everything regarding net carn -_- i wonder why. haha. but then again, i don’t mind. kind of fun, in a way (:

now to dig out my 312 shirt! haha yay puffballs (: this year’s shirt is quite nice too though! with the neon colours :D it looks pretty, and i am glad they didn’t try to pun, because all those that we ever came up with were kind of lame :P oh well, anyway.

okay going off to see rachel now! XD she demanded i buy her a children’s day present. obviously i didn’t get her anything. and equally obviously, she is going to scream at the top of her voice. i fully expect the windows of my grandma’s house to shatter once i enter. oh well, nevermind. now to face the music. or rather, the noise.

capriccioso

2009-09-28T18:41:00.002+08:00

haha today was kind of fun (: did painting for class banner! :D and then the 412 classroom was like some wonderful room of requirement because like everything we needed was just all over the classroom, from paintbrushes to adaptors to paints to water to palettes to markers and lots of other random things XD basically it was just so convenient and everything we needed could be found all over the classroom! haha kind of amusing really, it seemed like it just turned into a huge room of requirement which made painting the banner really easy cos all the materials could be found so easily! (:

FourTWelve.

haha that's what our banner says! (: kind of cool. and then all the stuff on the banner is basically everything and anything about 412 that we've ever experienced as a class, like it just has pictures of puffballs, a snake, sang nila utama, peanuts, and everything else. it looks kind of random to an outsider, i guess. but it's really quite a good representation of our class. besides, we're not really out to win either. anyway, i like it. :D

and we are wearing 312 shirt for net carn! haha i am kind of glad, in a way, cos i like the 312 shirt...if only it wasn't quite so gigantic. but at least mine is not as bad as some people's. it is just a slight bit too big, but it's okay when you roll up the sleeves a few more times and tuck the shirt in. (: but then the 412 shirt looks like it might be quite cool as well. oh well. i like the neon colours! :D

~you can't puff us down, 312 we rule! (:

haha going to practice shooting tomorrow with becky chew! (: while the rest of the class is having math, because our math class is only 2nd block. and 3rd block we can play netball :D :D :D i love netball. totally. but then i need to practice shooting! D: watching really pro people shoot makes me feel so inferior. ):

nevermind. what's more important is that we'll have fun :D netcarn in 5 days! my last netcarn omg. ): hopefully it will be a nice, fun and memorable one (:

haha okay i am back to update. :D

class phototaking today! (: and it kind of made me quite high, because we finally were allowed to climb the school gate without getting scolded and OMG IT WAS SO FUN! :D i love climbing. and it was great to climb the school gate and take a class shot there. (:

had a class discussion in the morning about class tee and various other matters. sigh our class tee isn't really going anywhere and i am still rather against the jungle sale idea; so are becky lee, beiqing and mengshi. but seems like only 4 of us don't really like it. oh well, i would prefer us not to have a shirt with the word sale written all over the front - one, it makes it look like we're on sale, and two, it's not really a shirt we'd be proud of. and three, the pun is kind of lame. and i would really like my last class shirt to be one i will really want to wear. and i think we should steer away from puns because we can't come up with anything creative enough. so we may as well not try to make it pun, since it will just end up sounding forced. :/

but then again if everyone else is fine with it [though i kind of hope not :P] i won't say anything, since it's majority of the class.

then we went to clc to get back ra papers. okay actually we went to ava and then we moved to clc, but anyway. oh and mrs chew did not accept mountains ): our poor modulus graphs. >< but anyway the rest of it was alright i guess. only that my ra score currently stands at 79.4. like OMG.

oh, and we got the ydsp project! :D hahaha okay now we each get money. yay (:

okay now i shall get back to editing the medley. haha yay i am glad i managed to get it into arts fest. and without needing to go through co admin either. which never let me through due to a series of unfortunate circumstances. oh well anyway, at least it is through. now to find performers. this may be a good place to advertise.

*advertisement*
does anyone want to play for our medley in arts fest? calling for liuqin, pipa, zhongruan, daruan, yangqin, dizi, cello, erhu, daji. (: about 1-2 of each and maybe 3 of some. depending. anyway if you want to play then please inform me. or dengqing. like through sms or email or something. and you don't have to be extremely pro. just make sure you've got time to practice and rehearse with the others. and no, you don't have to be a sec 4 (: so PLEASE PLEASE VOLUNTEER OKAY :D :D :D
*advertisement*

2009-09-18T15:36:00.012+08:00

oh my, i am actually going to update my blog again. *shock* after, what, 3 months? haha okay this shall be a post that backdates all the way to june, cos i owe several things a post XD

170909: END OF EYAs – ions and molecules! :D
went gallivanting around orchard with xin and xiaowei :D and we spent 2 hours at kino! haha. and then for the exploration of ion (: and the 4 floors long escalator is kind of cool :D yay it felt so good to go out with friends and roam around without having to worry about homework and other such stuff (:

ion is kind of nice, in a way. and i like the way it looks.

100909: sweet sixteen :D
… or maybe not quite so sweet after all. seeing as how i spent it mugging ): and then mummy had to insist we go somewhere to celebrate my sixteenth birthday, which wasn’t exactly what i would have liked to do best. and then i had to dress up in some random dress which mummy had to choose for me ): sighs, she meant well, i suppose?...although not exactly what i would have wanted. but i think i shall have to be resigned to the fact that no one in my family really seems to know what i want most, which is quite a saddening thought. though i must say that’s also partly due to me never telling anyone what i want, i guess. and also perhaps it’s because of rachel’s voice with its megaphone-like qualities. :/

but that aside, i can’t really believe that i’m sixteen already! omg. o_0 haha but actually when you think about it, it’s not that unbelievable after all…like, plenty of people around me turned sixteen eons ago…

haha okay, nevermind.

but it was sweet enough, in a way. (:

and thank you to all those who wished me and/or gave me presents [hopefully this is in order]: xiaowei, xinxuan, swetha, leevoon, shona, brenda, celeste, dengqing, yifei, lanabel, tienli, wanjiun, yi-min, adriel, lishan, mr evans, jiaxuan, vivian, cynthia, kelly, miffie, tingwei, rachel, fangying, naijing, kezia and cat (:

thanks a lot for remembering (:

310809: aces day + teachers’ day celebrations (+ math ra exam part II)
quite fun, i guess. can’t believe i actually sweated during the workout D: probably cos of the high humidity. celebrations were quite nice, they usually are :D [i am reminded of mrs leslie’s BLA-thers in learning 2 years ago :D] and the house capts made pretty good emcees. class party was okay. there was food, though there wasn’t supposed to be. was suitably entertained during the back part where we played cat and mouse and made mr ow do a forfeit, ie sing a song to the snake on the projector :D OMG THAT PART WAS PRICELESS. IT WAS SO FUNNY :D :D :D

math was okay. haha i am not going to comment about it. hopefully mrs chew decides to accept mountains, that’s all.

190809: sl trip to rgps
went to rgp and did the presentation to the little p4s :D haha and we went and bought all the old familiar food from the canteen again! XD a pity we didn’t go find teachers but they were all having lessons :/ oh well, at least we saw zhonglaoshi who remembers me, and my name :D haha okay. and the security guard, who remembered us too (: hahaha i wish i’d gone back on teachers’ day, but then there was too much to do ):

and then there were a few very cute p2s who stared at us and began stage-whispering behind our backs and wondering [and very loudly too] if we were from rgps or not. and then i heard one girl go to her friend, “NO LAH NOT FROM RGPS ONE! you see their this thing right,” *gestures at her school badge* “it’s DIFFERENT from ours, they are from some other school” whereupon celeste and i nearly choked and dengqing gave us a glare that said “stop laughing now” :D

oh well, i suppose i’m glad the presentation went fine, at least? considering that everything was very last-minute and we chionged out the script in like, one day, because on the friday before the presentation mr ng said our presentation was not-very-engaging [haha i think i’m putting it in a nice way here] anyway, so we rushed out a script on saturday, edited on sunday and rehearsed on monday and tuesday. with that in view, i suppose the presentation went quite well after all. haha :D
---

070809: national day celebrations + trip to taonan/world vision
school celebrations were…not bad. but then i would have liked more songs. ): haha i don’t know why i like singalongs even when i don’t exactly sing very well. XD maybe it’s the atmosphere they provide, especially when classes stand hugging each other in circles and jump around during the chorus (: but it wasn’t a bad celebration. or maybe i was expecting worse because i thought it was going to be quite terrible situated in the parade square. heh. oh well, i’m glad to say i was proven wrong :D

then we went to tao nan, and xinxuan was supposed to come but didn’t =.= haha anyway, we brought the love loaves to tao nan, and on the way dengqing kept being scared that we’d get robbed or something -.- although it was like on a main road so i don’t think anyone would rob us in broad daylight?...especially not since there would be plenty of eye-witnesses. haha alright but nevermind, anyway we got to world vision unharmed, and delivered over the love loaves, and then we went to plaza sing and had lunch. and then celeste and dengqing went to watch up. sighs i wanted to go, too, but then i had piano lesson. ): oh well, maybe another time.
---

050809: chaos finals
i decline to comment. results: we got commendation, probably fourth place. my team knows why i decline to comment. and certain other people should know as well. but then again, as xin says, we have been through worse. well, at least, both xin and i have been through worse :P anyway, thank you my awesome team for all the hard work you put in for this (: and thanks to all our supporters too! :D

and i still maintain that the puns are cool. HA. :D

-she took route -1 to the animal safari
which, by the way, is imaginary.-

310709: rgco handover
…which i missed. a pity really, but congrats [haha okay i know it’s a bit late] to my dear juniors, yunan and michellin for becoming chair/v-chair, noodlefriend for becoming sl, tingwei for secretary, vivian for maintenance head, jiahui for sl, and all the rest for getting into comm. (: at least discrimination of a certain rather unreasonable nature didn’t have to apply to you, which is GOOD, cos it applied to me. [oh well but not that i really care, i’ve got more stuff to think about than whether i’m being discriminated against for extraneous petty reasons or not XD] but anyway that’s not the point. jiayou for next year! good luck! :D

on another note, though, i wonder if it was really worth missing handover for chaos. :/ oh well, what’s done is done, i suppose. and there will be plenty of time to crash prac with my batchmates in the near future (:
---

220709: harp exam
well, i passed quite presentably, at least. :D [and whether i deserve that score or not is another matter altogether :P] and of course it helped that the examiner was blur and didn’t really know much about the harp. :P he was a nice guy; he let us tune inside the room (: haha apparently he plays the harp too, a bit! o_0 we usually don’t get examiners who know how to play the harp, so it’s kind of unusual. (: but i think it’s really nice to have examiners who know like a little bit about the harp, enough so that they can appreciate how hard the song you’re playing is, yet not enough for them to know that you played a wrong note XD which is what happened in my case. but i suppose stage experience gives you the ability to cover up a wrong note pretty well :P

haha okay but nevermind, i have passed my exam with relatively presentable scores :D
---

130709: a midsummer’s evening
aka yo concert! :D

[okay shall try to remember details for this one although it happened something like 2 months ago – it’s my first esplanade concert]

left school early with fangying, effectively skipping philo. heh. and we ended up reaching esplanade really really early where there was practically no one around. then a random nice person opened a room for us to dump our stuff, which we did. then we went to marina and walked around. then we went back and fooled around for a bit before going to change and have rehearsal. and of course after phoon i was bored. so i took pictures. then i wandered further around the esplanade with charity cos we were both feeling bored since everyone else was at rehearsal. and then we went off for early dinner.

of course i finished dinner even before the rest even came down, but i got dragged off to the concourse place by fangying to eat. or rather, to watch the others eat. -_- i know we spent some time laughing at the 3 people who were making rather ridiculous poses for a camera. then we went back to the room and everyone went on this general phototaking spree where everyone took photos with everyone else. sadly, my camera ran out of memory. :/ but nevermind, i have the pics i want. (:

concert itself was okay. but phoon was, as a whole, pretty messy nonetheless. ): especially certain parts. but i shall not go into the details here. oh well, i suppose no one will say anything, cos it’s a commissioned work. heh. OH and remind me to get a proper seat the next time we have an esplanade concert. i was practically falling off the chair that i had. -.-

after phoon charity and i went off to kope reception and watch the performance from the tv screen outside. wienawski sounded fine, i think davin played pretty well. and brahms sounded okay from where i was listening. [although of course there were all sorts of weird noises going on in the background from reception at the same time so i wasn’t exactly listening properly.]

but all in all, i think it was quite a nice and fun concert. for me, anyway. or maybe it’s just because it’s my first esplanade one? :D especially now that i know more people than i did in march (:

okay i’m quite surprised at the amount of details i can remember. oh well, but since i’ve abandoned my blog for so long, i ought to put in the details, as a sort of compensation? haha okay maybe that doesn’t make sense. but that aside, i think i ought to remember the details for this one anyway, like, my first esplanade concert :D it’s definitely got some sentimental value, hahaha. [oh dear this is making me sound like some overly emotional, excessively sentimental freak and i am obviously not like that D:]

and this concert kind of made me think of certain things, but these things are better left unsaid, especially on my blog. oh well, let’s just say that i’ve realised that there’s more than one star in the sky [haha i wonder if anyone will understand the true meaning behind that phrase. but nevermind.] (:

yay photos! [erm, they were kind of koped off fangying's facebook. but then right, i helped take some of them anyway so i suppose it doesn't matter :D]

yo!

i like this photo. kind of obvious, the way i keep using it (:

290609: ayg opening ceremony
it was…amusing. it was the first day of school, and i believe i was late. but cos the first lesson was chem and dr ng was away somewhere, i didn’t really miss anything. went to ccab after school, then we went to the indoor stadium.

the actual thing was okay, i suppose. don’t really remember much of it now…it was quite some time ago :P except that daniel was being really high throughout and kept doing funny amusing stuff during the theme song. haha. and marches were messy :/ oh well, in any case everything was prerecorded. but then again, if i remember correctly, the messiness was more of due to the fact that we weren’t together with the recording, than not together as an orchestra.

oh but i remember during the repeat which was shown the next day the tv commentator did something amusingly silly :D
[yo was in the midst of william tell.]
commentator: “…and we hear the familiar sounds of johann strauss’ radetzky march…”

HAHAHA.

okay anyway. it ended shortly after that. and people began jumping off the stage to join in the partying and waving at the camera. alright, i shall dump in a few more photos and end off here, cos i simply cannot think of anything else interesting enough that happened.

from the same abovementioned source (:

from the ayg website this time. :D

230609: rgco june camp
[should try to remember details for this one too, it’s my last rgco june camp]

haha, it was pretty fun. a pity the second day got cancelled cos of h1n1, but the first day was pretty good nonetheless [well done june camp ics]. a few assorted games like a random pick-up-the-m&ms-game, some hopscotch thing and water bombs, which i didn’t play. i think it’s cos i forgot to bring a change of clothes. oops. so i spent that time in talking to dengqing and zhiqi in the canteen [although we were supposed to be in the netball courts] and then there was whacko in j block, which i remember quite well cos all my dear juniors made an attempt to sabotage me. i think it was not premeditated though. and they kept calling me back after i called them -_- funny why nobody said there was a rule against calling back. i thought there was supposed to be. ah well nevermind. the points system and the bidding for stuff was quite creative, too. anyway, rgco june camp wasn’t bad. just that, well, it wasn’t really as fun as it could have been. partly also cos the second day was cancelled as well. :/

六月六月,音乐音乐,跳跃跳跃,华乐华乐!

[haha or something to that effect. i may have mixed up the lines a bit. the lame june camp cheer]
---

okay. i think that’s it. well, that’s all the important stuff that happened in the past…erm, the past 3 months. yay okay now i have updated :D

prima volta...:D

2009-06-14T19:09:00.000+08:00

yo camp was fun :D

well it was much more fun than a school camp could ever be at any rate, even if they say last year’s was better [but then again from photos/videos that i saw on fb i kind of do agree last year’s was more fun…a pity i wasn’t there XP] anyway it was still fun nonetheless. :D i mean like, it’s my first snyo camp, and what’s more, the first camp i have ever been to in my entire life…

alright, shall attempt to talk about the days. or what i can remember of them.

first day: wednesday

it was mainly spent in games. the ones in the music room. i think. like dingdong and werewolf and etc etc. haha i don’t see why i looked like a guilty werewolf -_- anyway at least renee and i killed the “little girl” [aka davin] in the very beginning. :D

then they had sectionals in the afternoon so miffie and i went out to marina square and walked around XD went back for dinner and that was about it. the first day was not an overnight one.

second day: thursday

more games! hahaha. well it wasn’t bad. and we played captain’s ball in the morning with this beach ball that would keep getting blown everywhere by the wind so it was quite phail. XD and the captain totally missed every catch cos of the wind. haha. so we changed to the soccer ball. (: which was so much better hahaha.

anyway, then miffie and lanabel tried to choreograph the dance for party night while the rest of us sat around watching and uh…giving constructive comments :D and then there was night rehearsal where i wasn’t involved. so miffie and i went out again. to orchard. hahaha. then we went back [and we made it back IN TIME :D] haha. and the salespeople at isetan were scary! we were paying for stuff when i suddenly saw their nametags. one said wong hc and the other said lim sl. which is like omg! both mrs wong and mr lim’s initials! which is like so scary! o_0

and there was the water bombs! haha it was pretty fun. only the “bombs” were teh tarik bags and they hurt when they exploded. cos every group had this cone wrapped in toilet paper and the group with the most well-covered cone at the end of everything would win. only that we had to use ourselves to block people from hitting the cone. so it hurt when the bags exploded all over us. and the guys would keep coming to us and trying to steal the bombs. -_- anyway after a while all the cones were gone except for *drumroll* ours!!! hahaha we are awesome. XD well that was our group name haha. can’t really remember what happened to the rest…one died, one was put out far away in the field and adriel carried his around everywhere but both he and the cone got soaked anyway cos all the other teams decided to gang up against him XD anyway we were the only ones left. so the five of us [miffie lanabel renee leejing and me] sat around the cone and blocked it. and obviously since our cone was the only one left we got attacked. and after a while people gave up on throwing water bombs and began to dump huge pails of water all over us instead. needless to say, we were soaked. but it was fun :D hahaha and obviously more fun than the hci interaction water bombs which wouldn’t burst haha. only i don’t know whether it is better to have non-bursting water bombs or water bombs that burst with so much force that they hurt. -.- someone threw this bomb that knocked my specs off my face -_- had to spend quite some time looking for them but located them anyway…thank goodness they didn’t break though. actually during the entire camp my specs kept zao1 yang1 – ing. like they fell down again when i was in the shower. and they somehow managed to make their way into the next cubicle -.-

anyway after that we went back to the dance studio…played around, watched miffie/lanabel choreograph and talked for a bit and then we went to sleep at about 2am. haha. i have a feeling that was about it.

third day: friday

haha i got woken up by someone who barged in at 7am, saw everyone asleep and went out again. after which i promptly went to sleep again. got woken up a second time by another guy who told us the guys were going to finish up the breakfast if we didn’t wake up. -_-

in any case, it was completely games. hahaha in total i only had one hour of rehearsal while i was at camp [cos the rest were either sectionals or the brahms where i am not involved] anyway friday was games and free time. the games were the ninja thing [which was basically concentration] and galic [aka volleyball-soccer] where BOTH my shoe soles came out after one game. PHAIL. ok so i sat out [obviously] and watched. although i was already really sweaty from the first game. pfft. attempted some shooting at the netball net and once again phailed quite miserably…although someone watching me still thought i was a netballer anyway so hahaha i shall assume that was a compliment that my lousy shooting didn’t deserve XD

anyway, after that was dance practicing. haha i kind of like the dance miffie/lanabel choreographed. although it does look a bit like rgs mass dance. anyway it was nice (: but the steps were complicated -_- we practiced/played bridge for the rest of that afternoon. sighs i wonder why there was so much bridge. *cough* haha every time miffie declared a break leejing/thaddeus would go “anyone wants to play bridge?” lol. but anyway, lots of practice time was spent laughing at davin dancing cos it was simply too hilarious for words XD unfortunately the two of us fell down quite a few times when we were trying the stand up part. :/ but anyway it was quite funny i guess. :D

then there was dinner and then there was party night :D which was where we had to show everyone the dance thing. but before the dancing there were games which were pretty amusing. like simon says and queen of sheba and the dancing/freezing thing. only i think our group was quite worried that we would forget dance moves since ours were like…complicated. hahaha. cos leejing and i were attempting to go through the entire thing while we were on the way to the toilet. and then we met sam and naijing who asked us something about the dance. and we couldn’t remember what was the step that we were supposed to do. so while leejing and i were in the toilet we kept trying to remember what it was. and so we came out and began dancing in front of the mirror. [hahaha i found it quite embarrassing cos like what if someone came in? dancing in the toilet is so phail. ok nevermind]then lanabel came in and we asked her and we all couldn’t remember ): anyway i think the dance ended up fine in the end, only we were the first group so the score was quite low. but i think that’s okay since we all had fun anyway XD HAHAHA watching davin do the dance is amusing. *laughs*

hmm let’s see. dance night was cancelled but party ended at like eleven anyway. and there was pizza :D only i was too full to eat. pfft. if i had known earlier i wouldn’t have eaten so much dinner -_- we went up and played uh…more bridge i think. and all four of us were totally falling asleep. so every few minutes we would be asking what the trump/bid/whatever else was. i wonder why we continued playing since we were all that sleepy. -_- haha but it made the game quite amusing, cos we kept forgetting stuff. anyway eventually we stopped and went to brush our teeth and went to sleep. for some reason i had this impression mary-anne and renee were whispering about bridge before we slept -.- haha probably just my imagination due to overdose on bridge. i hardly played before that lor. like, the first game i played with fangying/davin/leejing was probably only about the 5th game in my life. oh well. probably explains my reluctance to bid very high. XD

oh haha i remember the totally phail partner thing. mary-anne was the bidder. and she called some random card. and somewhere in the middle,…

mary-anne: i still haven’t figured out who my partner is!
leejing + me: nor have i!
[silence, during which renee looks like she wants to burst out in laughter]
everyone [minus renee who was not so blur]: OHHHH.

that was so phail hahaha. anyway. we were all lying down and everyone kept seeing each other’s cards but hahaha nevermind, “safety first…and integrity second” :D

last day: saturday

where we all woke up at 9 plus. heh. we had free time until rehearsal started which was at 2.30. so guess what. bridge again. then lanabel wanted to try so i let her play. then fangying and keven came up so they started playing too. so it turned into fangying/keven/leejing/mary-anne. which was quite funny. seeing as how fangying and keven kept ending up as partners. haha. and then keven mistook renee’s school motto for “experiment, explode and expel” where it was supposed to be “experiment explore and excel”. hahaha ok that was damn funny. anyway after that was rehearsal where i only played the front bit. XD ie the Phoon. [haha, is it supposed to be pronounced foon or poon? XD] and after that i started wandering [no fangying i did NOT flounder around okay. i am not a fish.] around the place. and we [aka the percussion/trombone people and me] found éclairs and laksa and satay at the usual place for dinner. obviously, we koped a lot of food XD and poor people who were stuck at rehearsal didn’t get to take any till 5pm while we were gorging ourselves XD [haha i took three éclairs whoops. i am greedy XD]

after that we went upstairs to the dance studio. and fangying complained that *drumroll again* it was COLD. HAHAHAHA OMG like our resident polar bear #2 complaining it’s cold! o.0 haha ok nevermind. so i was laughing at her cos the aircon was only 26. which then escalated into an animated debate about the 412 aircon and fangying’s being the resident polar bear no. 2. but i guess we sounded rather childish. well. [and no it is not the 412 madness. as fangying says the 412 madness is the “i wanna set up a booth in ora” madness. this is the fangying and the polar bear madness. XD or maybe the ramc madness…hmms.] i think we made a lot of noise hahaha. i remember fangying and me fighting over the mat. -.- XD

anyway then they started on bridge again. haha. sat out again this time but still had a lot of fun nonetheless. XD then we went down again and there was the closing video which was okay. oh well. spent a lot of it laughing at the dancing XD especially davin’s one which i didn’t watch during the party since he was like standing next to me so i couldn’t very well watch him doing it. XD but anyway now i see why everyone was laughing. HAHA. i laughed a lot too. :D

but anyway i got to know quite a few people better :D which is nice. and i am quite glad that the first camp i went for in my life is a yo camp. cos it was so much better than any school camp could ever be. (:

rgco camp will be in two weeks’ time. alright, let’s see how good it can get :D although the situation there is slightly different cos i’m the senior so i am entitled to do quite a lot more talking. hahaha when i don’t know anyone i think i am extremely shy. so for the first day or so in yo camp i think i was really quiet. leejing claims fangying/lanabel said i was a psl. and she didn’t believe me when i said i wasn’t a psl and was obviously too quiet to be one. -_- yeah, psl, like real lah. as fangying said after that, if i was a psl she’d be the head prefect. which is totally true.

anyway, there we are. i realise my blogging style is a little less coherent than usual today. probably cos there are some really funny memorable things that i can’t exactly explain/don’t want to explain here. oh well. in short, snyo <3

andante

2009-05-13T19:23:00.000+08:00

2.4 today.

strangely enough, i am not tired o.0 i think that’s cos i didn’t really put in a lot of effort. probably cos of the lack of motivation, hehe.

it started out fine, then i suddenly decided to stop, for no good reason. i wasn’t even feeling tired -.- anyway i stopped. and walked. and decided that when certain people overtake me, i shall start running. and these people never overtook me till the last round T.T but i guess i have them to thank for my passing, cos i passed by something like 20 seconds, and if they hadn’t overtaken me i would most probably have continued walking my way to the finish line. yeah, i was feeling that lazy.

anyway today’s 2.4 wasn’t exactly wonderful but i guess it was alright. i was just…lazy. and lethargic. and i didn’t feel like running. not the “if i run another step i am so going to die” kind of feeling, more like the *whine whine* “i don’t feel like running even though i’m not really tired” kind of feeling. ah well. so i ran something like the first 2-3 rounds. then randomly decided i shall start walking.

but after 2.4 i was VERY high. while i was sitting in the canteen talking to xiaowei i was practically jumping all over the place. and i kept laughing. i believe i have muscle ache in my cheeks now. from LAUGHING. dengqing keeps telling me i laugh too much. argh whatever. there is nothing wrong with laughing too much.

i think running is horrible. i don’t see the purpose in running. okay fine maybe i do. but i do not feel motivated to run. like i won’t try my best to run or anything. so when people were at the sides telling me things like jiayou, etc i felt kind of guilty cos it wasn’t that i couldn’t run, more like i didn’t want to. ah well. anyway.

getting a gold for napfa has lost its appeal since i was sec 2. i wonder why.

prac is starting tomorrow and geog is the day after that so i should go off and start mugging like NOW.

byebye.

fortepiano

2009-05-05T22:22:00.002+08:00

i tried to find a term that means extremist, but i couldn't, so i guess i shall settle for this.

it never rains but it pours –

all too true of the weather and my blog. XD

anyway, since i have started to post and i am marginally more free, i shall update. hopefully more often now that exams are [somewhat] over, and the mess of co and yo and other random things hasn’t set in [yet]. :D

sounds ominous.

ok nevermind. so. there was pft today. which was quite bad. my standing broad jump was like, way below usual standard. i think it’s lack of practice. anyway the first try was 10cm off. something like 158. probably cos i didn’t exactly get ready before i jumped. ie i jumped on the wrong swing of arm [ok this sounds weird] so i tried again. and the second time round, i hit 170 [which was slightly more normal]. then somehow after falling on the ground forwards, i pushed myself backward instead. so i fell backwards after falling forwards. which was embarrassing. and my knees hit my chin which HURT. [i don’t know which one hurt more, my knees or my chin – i think they both suffered pretty badly] so when i did another try [cos that one didn’t count] i was kind of *not-in-very-good-form*. especially since my head and legs both hurt. so i got something like 160 -_-

but the others were alright i suppose. my sit and reach sucks. as always. somehow once i sit down there the back of my knee hurts already. >< anyway, overall was okay i suppose.

after pft i found dengqing retaking. with celeste. and weiyi. so xiaowei and i joined them. and started cheering dengqing on. :D of course, since celeste and weiyi and i were there, the random encouragements were of the very lame variety such as “imagine your pipa is here. if you don’t hit 147, we shall drop your pipa”. and ms ong came along and put a bottle of h20 there and told dengqing to jump over the bottle XD which she did, after getting frightened that she would step on it or something.

but anyway. haha well done dengqing! you passed by like at least 7 cm :D :D :D

vivian happily helped me tag all my photos on facebook -.- all i can say is, she has a lot of time.

oh today somehow during rs today xiaowei and i were talking about facebook. so i went, “dr ng has a facebook! miss goh also. haha i didn’t know that.”

xiaowei’s immediate reaction: “oh. do they play restaurant city?”

0.0 xiaowei. you are really addicted. -.-

other than that today was…boring. ok not exactly. but there wasn’t very much to do. except in chem. but other than that it was quite sian. cat spent philo shooting random things at me. she started with her pen. so i caught the pen and held on to it. then she threw her correction tape. which i also held on to. then she threw a few random other pens. and after running out of non-fatally sharp objects from her pencilcase, she reached over and began throwing things from MY pencilcase at me. -.-

and math worksheets now are extremely tedious and correction-tape consuming. somehow today cat decided to sit in the front of the classroom next to becky and joogian. and after making my correction tape run out during chinese, she kept a VERY firm hold on her correction tape in case i would use it or something. shortly after that xin’s correction tape ran out too. so we both attempted to borrow from cat. which was obviously a total failure.

during math mr ng was attempting to draw some funny graph relating fangying/mengshi’s brain cells to correction tape. obviously the graphs were not complimentary to either fangying or mengshi XD

rs was once again spent in random video-watching. flash player is not downloaded on school comps, sadly. xiaowei and i are attempting to watch she4 diao1 but i guess we won’t have much time to watch it anymore now that rs is going to be replaced with other random things like lessons. anyway, the description of yang kang on the website is amusing. it goes something like “…descending into darkness and destroying everyone and everything around him” HAHA. like, descending into darkness? XD reminds me of jumping off a cliff for some reason

ok i shall go turn off the fan. somehow it feels cold. but obviously not as bad as our classroom where the two resident polar bears [with a high specific heat capacity each] decide to turn the horrid aircon to EIGHTEEN DEGREES. i am considering changing my seat cos it seems like only i feel particularly cold. though cat would probably whine and say something along the lines of me abandoning her. but whatever. cat obviously does not feel cold. cat is one of the resident polar bears of 412. fangying is the other.

giocoso

sometimes my titles are weird cos of my attempt to conform to the resolution that i shall use music terms for my titles. but nevertheless.

i am amused.

yesterday, xiaowei beat fangying on pet society. so xin and i went to math class, and we started laughing.

the conversation:

xin: [points at fangying and laughs loudly]
fangying: [looks bemused.]
xin: fangying who’s top on your pet society list?
fangying: some random person called lena lee. why?
xin + me: *SHOCK* [we thought it would be xiaowei] do you know who she is?
fangying: no, some rgs girl, isn’t she?

[xin and i collapse onto the table while fangying looks confused]

fyi, lena lee is xiaowei’s mum.

fangying added xiaowei’s mum on fb without knowing who she was. cos she saw the mutual friends were xin, xiaowei, lishan and me.

an rgs girl, indeed.

appassionato; fieramente

gold.

syf is over…and my 4 years in rgco have come to an end.

oh well.

i suppose it’s a matter of the judges’ opinion…

anyway i just want to thank rgco for everything that we’ve gone through these 4 years. (: rgco i love you! tanbo in particular! <333 today’s performance was really quite good. i hope you all enjoyed it as much as i did. of course gwh would have been nice but what matters the most is that we performed well. and it’s a performance/festival not a competition, so the results aren’t so important! (: rgco i’m so proud of you! (: we totally rocked sch! well done! <3

anyway.

we pracced until it was about 8. then we set off. after the performance we were all quite happy (: i personally think we did really well. our performance was really wonderful and there were completely no regrets. every single string-plucking thing tanbo did was like OMG SO QI2. after every time pipa/zhongruan plucked a string i felt so glad i couldn’t stop myself from grinning :D and the manbans were SO FULL OF GANJUE i totally wanted to cry! *sniff* i can tell we really put in our best for this syf! even though there were tiny minor little hiccups here and there [and they were really minute] the rest was totally awesome! throughout molou, i was hoping i could hold on to that moment forever. and chan-ge was just so atmospheric! i love the feng1ling2! it sounded SO much like real wind XD and the kuaiban was good! and it just felt so SHUANG3 playing all the shiliufen! omgomgomg. i think the performance was nothing short of magnificent/brilliant/fantastic [insert other synonyms here]! and well done rgco for EVERYTHING! well done for making this a great performance and for putting in all your heart for these two songs! <333 rgco!

anyway after syf we just waited for the bus and took random photos. :D they will be on my facebook soon so you can go kope. yay.

going back to school was quite amusing (: lls told us we could go have lunch, so we changed and went to eat. then i was about to set off for math when joogian told me mr ng happily decided not to come today. so i was extremely annoyed. seeing as how i came back today for one single lesson ie. math. and there was no math. we waited a while together in the canteen but after about half an hour no smses came in. haha i think we looked weird. like this circle of co people staring at their handphones. but after a while everyone had to go up to class. while i was still free. with nothing to do. so i went up to put my things and then came back down again to wait for results.

so then i hung around the foyer [cos then i could have my phone on legally without having to ask any teacher’s permission since i wouldn’t even know which teacher to ask for permission when i was going to be wandering around the school anyway] and waited for an sms to come in. siyi and junyu were at the piano playing canon in c and minuet in g and some other equally random things. so i joined them. cos otherwise i would probably hyperventilate while waiting for results. anyway we played for a while then dengqing’s sms came in and – well.

it didn’t sink in. i was staring at the phone with a very stoned expression on my face. sort of like i didn’t know what to feel. and i kind of didn’t know what the sms really meant until siyi hugged me and said “don’t be too sad; gold is not too bad” then i kind of understood what dengqing was saying. but even then it didn’t hit me until somewhere in rs where i suddenly realised that was our last syf and our last time playing chan-ge and molou onstage and that we had a gold for this syf.

throughout lunch i was walking around like some zombie. i bet i looked really stoned. and i didn’t know what i was feeling at all. i suppose i just have a slow reaction.

but nevertheless, rgco i’m still very proud of you! and i love all of you! <3 cos it’s the fact that we enjoyed ourselves onstage and did ourselves proud and put in our very best that matters most!

and to my dear dear section i love you even more :D rgco tanbo is the root of LOVE! (: dearest batchmates, thank you for this awesome journey we had together! these 4 years with you guys have been really wonderful.

- it’s the closest match i can find, although not very exact. :D

HA.HA.HA.

i feel so successful!

cat finally runs away from xin and me! :D

it all started with fangying. during bio, she filled gloves with water and started waving them around. so cat started filling gloves with water too. [and, for some reason, she and fangying started waving them at me and tickling my neck -_- ok it wasn’t very ticklish but it just felt rather weird and kind of gave me goosebumps.] anyway, they brought these gloves to class. after physics fangying came in and said cat had stolen her glove and asked me to try get it back.

success no. 1: after physics cat went to xin’s class. and xin took out her nametag and began chasing cat around with it. HAHA. then i went into the toilet still feeling very high from our success. when i was coming out i met xin coming in and we both broke out in laughter. XD

haha, it was easy to get fangying’s glove back during english. but i had no idea how to give it to fangying cos if i threw it it would obviously break and burst in mr toh’s face. haha water bombs. ahem xin. :D

anyway, after english lesson ended cat went to 415 and threw one of the gloves at a sleeping xinxuan. who woke up instantaneously and poked a hole in it and –THIS IS SO TOTALLY THE BEST PART –

success no. 2: WE CHASED CAT ALL THE WAY BACK TO 412 AND SPRAYED HER WITH WATER!!! :D yay finally cat runs away from us. (:

we chased her around 412. haha i finally got to enjoy the sensation of cat running away from me XD i should totally have filmed it down! haha. then outside the classroom we were playing around and xin poked another hole in the glove and somehow the glove burst wide open and water spilt everywhere. yes, so we were accountable for that water puddle outside the 412 classroom. XD

so, i grabbed the other glove. and poked it. and kept poking it. and nothing happened to it. -_- after which somehow cat managed to get hold of it and she came after xin and me. yeah, again. so we ran everywhere. and finally took refuge in 413. whereupon cat came and attacked the doors. so xin held on to the front door and i held on to the other. but cat, being cat, obviously was a lot stronger than either of us so it took each of us+xiaowei to hold one door. poor xiaowei had to keep running from the front door to the back door.

ok it didn’t work for a while after that cos there were people wanting to come in. and we wanted to go down and have lunch anyway. so when julie was asking to be let in at xin’s side [with cat lurking furtively behind her] we decided to open the front door and run out the back in the hope that cat would not be able to catch us. so xin let go the front door and we all chionged out the back while the front door opened to reveal a cat with the glove of water raised and ready to squirt. fortunately she didn’t realise we had gone out already and was still looking around 413 for us. by the time she saw we had escaped we were already at a safe distance so we waved and she went back to class. i have no idea who were the other poor people she tormented after we escaped but nevermind XD apparently she let out the glove in the dustbin after that. most of the rubbish in that bin is contributed to by cat. especially tissue paper. -.-

and after that there was dc. which was boring. i am glad i sat at the back. so i did my homework. and there was a sec 3 next to me who noticed me doing my gong1han2. so she nudged her friend. and pointed at me. and i pretended not to see her friend looking interestedly over at me. -_-

anyway other than that dc was roughly the same as last year.

HAHA event of the day. no, of the year. or maybe of 4 years. cat running away from xinxuan and me. how often do you see her running away from us? [or anyone else for that matter] :D

reason being, i feel very high right now.

founder’s day was awesome :D :D :D

and the entire day was totally perfect :D :D :D

okay i should stop making faces. :D

okay! first off we had…uh, lessons. most of which were again quite slack, like yesterday. ah well. it’s the last day of school…sort of. bio was mainly copying stuff. during recess the rgs 130 shirts came [fangying wants to wear them tomorrow to suan the ri people. -.- haha i guess i shall just go along with that plan lah. even though i don’t exactly need to suan ri people] there was a slight mess-up over the shirts since there weren’t enough Ms but M was so big anyway that most people just downsized to S. and cat was giving out hats and looking just like santa claus which she claims has died cos he was killed by her. -_- cat has murderous tendencies. today in the survey passing round the class there was this question that went "do you think rgs is free from terrorism" and i answered "no, not when there exists a person by the name of catharine lo in the school" XDD but i think cat's survey responses were funnier. there was one question that went "what do you do when you see a guy wearing a mask running towards you" and she answered, "find the gardener, get his axe and hack the guy's head off"

then English where the teacher was absent for half the block so it was used in sorting out the founder’s day shirts. and welfare comm. discussed a bit about class outing next friday. [i am reminded of last year’s barbecue where i was totally soaked after the pool episode. -_-]

and assembly. i dislike assemblies.

then came co. DAZU! (: which was quite fun, though i spent most of it solo-ing [yes, AGAIN. -.-“ how come i never seem to have ces when everyone else has…? XD] okay anyway. then tingwei got what she thought was a splinter stuck in her palm. so we brought her to the GO. then it wouldn’t come out. so we brought her to the red cross room. where i kind of embarrassed myself by sticking my head in and asking if anyone could help tingwei. xin and xiaowei were not there. grr. okay lishan opened the door. and the vice chair [at least, judging from what i heard xin+xiaowei ever talk about, i think she was the vice chair] came out and poked at tingwei’s hand for a while [during which dengqing and i told tingwei lame co jokes] and concluded that if it was a splinter, it had been there for a very long time already. so they didn’t really take it out in the end.

anyway, then we went back to the kschee, where we found the pb in discussion and all our qins –GONE. omg i totally freaked out. and ran all over the place looking for co people to find my darling qin. it was so scary. in the end we found kat and kelly and they told us weiyi and michellin had our stuff, which they had brought back to our classroom. oh my goodness the entire thing nearly gave me a heart attack. the only time i panic is when i lose my stuff. especially stuff like my harp or liuqin. although it is not possible to lose my harp since it is even bigger than i am. aka 1.85 metres tall. siyi was asking me today if i will ever bring my harp to school. fangying instantly went, “are you mad?! it’s so heavy.” upon which i burst out laughing. haha i’m glad she appreciates the weight of it XD it’s like 36kg which is so heavy. it’s more than half my weight. i can totally die carrying it.

anyway i finally located my darling qin in my classroom. thanks weiyi + michellin who brought it up. even though it really freaked me out at first...

and thanks so much to dengqing, weiyi, tingwei and michellin for staying back & eating dinner in school with me :D haha we ordered kfc which took about 1 hour to come. during which we took totally random pics (: okay i’ll post some of them up here.

group pic, which was self-timed. that’s why you see the edge of the table :D [haha better than in the other pic where my head was so big it looked weird]

does the left hand look rather awkward? XDDD IT’S MINE :D

weiyi attempts [unsuccessfully] to imitate the person on the board

yay (: [this pose looks like something tienli would do rather than us -.-]

michellin and the COOL 412 ROPE LADDER. WHOO WE THE ROPE LADDER CREATORS ROCK. and 412 rocks too. :D [too bad to those horrid people who came in and said our class deco failed. it did not. they’re jealous people XD]

where dengqing thought she was in danger of falling over. -.-

after we got the delivery (:

okay then was founder’s day. or rather, founder’s night. which was SO COOL. xiaowei was so un-enthu though. D: this is evidence of how un-enthu she was.

xiaowei: i don’t see why everyone’s so enthu about founder’s day.
me: it’s at night!!
xiaowei: so? haven't you ever been in school this late before?
me: yeah [uh, i've done it at least 5 times - co and mep concerts?!] but this is the entire school?!
xiaowei: so?
me: so it’s cool!!
xiaowei: so?
OMG LOST CAUSE. xiaowei. you are even more enthu about a millipede than founder’s day. HAHA :D

and the founder's day pics! (:

stoned beiqing. who cancelled my 'rgco tanbo rocks' from the whiteboard and wrote 'rgco tanbo stones'. -_-

live the legacy (:

concert (:

this is pretty (:

transitions in the sky. (:

haha, i have no idea what we were trying to do. i fell off the step two seconds after the pic was taken. i was at the very edge of the step. -.-

fourtwelve oh nine <3

more founder's day pics will be up at another date when i get all the photos we took after the concert! (: all the 412 pictures, anyway. haha i can't remember how many varieties of poses we had...there was the group hug where we ran around in one circle screaming & laughing, though i don't think anyone took a picture of that...and there was the jumpshot on the amphi steps which probably failed. XD anyway the photo-taking was really fun :D and the concert was nice! i think the founder's day organising comm did a really great job! (: i'm kind of glad i'm graduating this year...at least i won't have to go for another relatively more boring one next year and have such an anticlimax as my last founder's day...:P whoops okay maybe it won't be that boring. but i still think this one is the nicest XP

batch 09 [especially 412 and rgco tanbo :D] is <3

recapitulation (:

2009-03-05T19:36:00.001+08:00

i started piano again yesterday! :D which is the reason for the title. cat and i have the same piano teacher which is kind of scary. cos it was totally coincidental. D:

anyway today was this really slack day where there were absolutely no lessons except for ss and math. cos in chinese we watched the second part of the movie. and in pe…well it was boring. i spent my time staring at the sec 1s play netball and wishing i could be there too. i don’t like golf. it’s dull. ):

and in cle we had class party! (: but we played quite a lot of world math day during the party so the background music was punctuated with ‘boing’s and all the cute noises the website makes when you get something wrong. and for all the addition/subtraction problems, we started shouting out the answers. i bet the class thought we were weird, cos we were yelling these seemingly random numbers at intervals :D world math day is addictive, it’s quite a pity it’s over.

class party wasn’t very fun, last year's parties were better. this time it was kind of…dead. apart from the front part where we were laughing over the mango pudding which was so wobbly it wouldn’t stand and couldn’t be eaten. cos we managed to cut it but had no way of holding it to eat it. and the back part where the rest of the class was screaming over goodness-knows-what. it felt slightly more like it should be.

oh and towards the end of the block, cat came up with the BRILLIANT idea of playing beethoven's pathetique as BACKGROUND MUSIC. [which was also punctuated by world math day sounds] so when the first chord sounded everyone was like ‘huh?’ and stared at cat weirdly.

and there was co today (: we finally met our juniors properly…i can safely say i like one of them. no prizes for guessing which one. tanbo seniors know. and they are of the same opinion too. tienli is quite mad at all of them though. and she was scribbling weird stuff on the board after prac, some of which were extremely disgusting. it had to do with what she wanted to do to them. -_- okay i realised that sentence was quite unintelligible to other people. nevermind. inside joke. [uh. maybe it’s not a joke. although we did laugh when we first saw it]

co – dazu + founder’s day tomorrow. sigh xiaozu today was mostly spent in coordinating the liuqin solo bit. it wasn’t bad. i think our mo4qi4 is already not too bad. at least it sounds pretty qi2 and all the notes are together. only our gan3jue2 is different, as zls was saying. and that is what we have to work on. but i don’t exactly want to play alone. nor does yunan. like if the xian breaks then there goes the entire solo. so it’s safer to have both of us. :D

other than that xiaozu was pretty much uneventful. i still much prefer dazus okay. HMPH weiyi.

tag replies:
dengqing: MY. BLOG. IS. NOT. DEAD. it’s only been a week or so OKAY. and actually i had this rather emo post about last friday where co was nothing short of catastrophic [ok maybe i’m exaggerating but it was really terrible] but i decided not to make things any worse than they already are. so in case my post sparked off loads of comments, i thought i should just keep it to myself. since it’s already over and the entire issue seems to have died down.
noodlefriend: HAHA don’t you remember that time we were getting chairs and dengqing was like ‘hi noodlefriend! you don’t run like a noodle eh.’ so she tried to show you how :D
jiahe: i was the first for the entire indiv thing lor! >< you were lucky. xianyue wasn’t even sitting down yet when you were playing…while i had the fortune of having all of them staring at me with attentive expressions...):

OKAY dengqing, celeste, xinxuan and all the others who have told me all too many times that my blog is dead. YES IT WAS DEAD. i did not get a new blog. but now it’s alive! [momentarily so, anyway]

i have decided to use music terms for titles. seeing as how my titles are generally of the lame variety that include '(:' and '-' and 'yay'. so i shall attempt to be more intellectual. and hopefully this expands my music vocab. XD i used to hate memorising german terms in particular. [cross my fingers that i passed my theory so i will never have to stare at german terms again and define them properly]

ok i have nothing to say about today. since nothing really eventful happened. it’s the 3sci+geog+math+english day. sigh. which is basically the most tiring day. it was normal. only that we had math in class. cos of pt discussion. and there are FOUR THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO OUTCOMES OF OUR GAME and guess who’s generating all the outcomes? ME. bleargh. *knocks cat on the head*

but a lot of people were weird and high today, like beiqing and i who spent recess disguising our handwriting and scribbling “hello 412 do you want to participate in ora again?”

there. now you know we are the culprits. if you didn’t already know.

after which EVERYONE started acting weird. and i’m psychic! haha no i just predicted someone would come in and go “wth who wrote this?!” and HAHA, muni came in and said that exact phrase. XD

sunday was boring. i don’t like sunday. apart from having harp lesson, it’s not fun. >< but we played pictionary at my grandma’s place yesterday, and i was teaming up with my dad and the word was reflection. at first i drew a mirror and a person looking into it. he didn’t get it. so i drew the physics ray diagrams of a ray of light bouncing off a mirror. and he guessed it immediately. -_-

yo celebrated valentine’s day on saturday, i love the stickers :DDD we were drawing them while listening to Beethoven & Vivaldi and some parts of the Verdi too, which resulted in our rushing to put everything down once our part was coming, only to find the conductor stopping right before we came in -_- i have no idea how many false alarms we had, but anyway, it was quite fun, and the conductor was extremely amusing. i guess we learnt quite a bit from him, like all the expression and things, and about the background of the song, but they didn’t apply that well to the harp parts, seeing as we only played two sections? XD but he went super fast at the last section. D: though i found it quite nice, and quite an okayish tempo [cos i was only playing chords anyway] but poor violins, haha. anyway, i koped quite a bunch of the stickers, i especially like the love note one, it’s cute (: but no one seemed to like them much, or maybe it’s just lame people like me who jump at puns and ooh and ahh over them.

dazu and 一个一个来 on friday, i started the 一个一个来. she randomly pointed at me and went, “柳琴一百三十八小节” and cos i never bring scores [cos my scores are super messy, thanks to the pipa people who leave their scores everywhere, so my pu3 includes a lot of extra and rather outdated liuqin and pipa scores which is extremely annoying to carry around], i had no idea where 138 was. so she was asking me what happened to them. but i memorized the pu3 anyway so it didn’t matter. thank goodness. anyway, 138 was the man4ban3, it was…well i wasn’t wonderful, i think it was quite below my usual standard, plus i was quite nervous cos the entire xianyue+chuiguan+zhongruan+diyin were all looking at me with expressions of utmost attention. that comes of being the first to 一个一个来. by the time lls reached zhongruan, everyone looked very sian and didn’t even bother looking at the person playing. great. usually i solo the molou bits anyway, so i’m quite used to playing alone, but it’s quite different when you play alone and people are all looking. -_- but comparatively i guess i was okay. which says a lot. i think tanbo really needs to prac, and maybe not just tanbo, i think the whole rgco needs to prac too. oh well anyway, hopefully optional prac next week will help us improve on our standard.

okay i shall go on my account of the days. let’s see. saturday was more or less talked about already, friday was 一个一个来 and total defence drill where we found that the fire alarm can’t be heard from j block. wow. so if we’re having math and there’s a fire, we won’t be able to evacuate. but technically unless the fire starts in j block itself [which it isn’t likely to do] there wouldn’t be any chance of it having a fire, cos there’s nothing but ground from the school building to there so it can’t spread.

thursday was tanbo’s valentines day celebration! yay whoo. tanbo really likes to celebrate stuff. and we do birthdays quite often, but we don’t usually get cakes and food and stuff, so no wonder zls was a bit puzzled when we randomly started producing food and cameras and tissue papers out of our bags. and when tienli + me fished out the card and board and presented them to her, she was quite surprised. XD but it was quite fun as a whole, i took a lot of pics, though a lot of them were of tienli and weiyi cos they were the ones who kept presenting themselves to my camera with a variety of weird poses, the rest refused to pose. i tried to get those who weren’t taken so often for my video but failed, sadly enough, and had to resort to sneaking up on them and/or zooming in on their faces from a very far distance. it was so pathetic. the group photos were where we got the most people in the pic, even though most people already wanted to leave [namely, the sec 2s]. but we managed to convince them to stay until the pic was taken [thanks yingbao] and i took a pic of weiting as she was grabbing her water bottle. so she kind of looked like she was in a stance or something. but haha there were loads more unglam pics of people like tienli and weiyi. especially tienli who kept trying to do things like act cute/sing into a potato chips bottle/prance all over the place. they would have been good poses, but not in her case, seeing as how most of those such pics included her with chocolate all over her mouth/a very big patch of water on her pinafore. so no one needs to complain that they look unglam or whatever. except maybe tienli. but i believe she found the pics quite nice so i doubt she will complain. haha anyway in one of the pics i had with dengqing i had cake on my teeth too, hehehe. i have never been able to smile without showing my teeth. and i do not know why. D:

hmmm i can’t quite remember what else happened on thursday…we were terrifically bored during philo, where beiqing and i talked a bit about ora, had another yue4bao4 i think, then i spent my recess folding hearts with brenda and joann, it kind of reminded me of last year where guanrong and i folded all kinds of straw things for ora. i miss 312 ’08. which is equivalent to saying i miss mrs leslie + mr evans. but haha that sounds so mean to mrs wong + mr ow [i mean it’s not like i hate them or something, they’re all right, just significantly less interesting] so i shall just say i miss 312 ’08. haha.

wednesday…i can’t remember but i think i climbed onto a table-table contraption to put up the rope ladder, it was quite shaky up there even though beiqing + siyi were holding the table, not to mention scary, especially when i was leaning back to open the panel next to the hole so i could tie the rope ladder there. anyway a lot of dust came down D: i bet my hair was spectacularly grey cos of all the dust, thankfully not many people saw it. the panel isn’t balanced properly but i don’t care anyway, haha. hopefully the ladder won’t fall down now, i think it won’t.

tuesday, i don’t quite remember what happened, rs was probably spent in watching xiaowei play pet society again. i too wonder what is so addictive about pet society. -.-

i don’t think i want to backtrack any further, but jiayou to tanbo and the rest of rgco, let’s prac hard and rock syf, i know we can do it (:

let’s make our last/first/only syf a great one! (:

[i realised syfs are either your first, your last, or your only. ): that’s sad. BOOHOO my last syf. ><]

yay happy birthday 312! (:

2008-11-28T22:07:00.000+08:00

note: i found this long-ago post. and i didn't want to delete it. so i shall put it up.

dazu today, which was nothing short of pathetic. well, for the rest of rgco, not really i guess, but for liuqin and pipa, it was.

for various reasons, almost everyone in liuqin and pipa didn’t come, so…guess what. there were only two of us. dengqing and me.

yes. okay there were three of us but effectively only two cos i haven’t taught weiting molou yet (sorry. and i will asap.) like TWO people. ONE liuqin and ONE pipa. (and five zhongruans T.T) so that meant dengqing and i solo-ed our way through all the molou parts where tanbo’s really obvious (and i solo-ed for the TWO liuqin solos in molou -.-) fortunately they cut off the solo i played with dengqing for concert 08 cos of molou being too long for syf or else i could have died today. hah. anyway, so we were left playing all the molou bits ALONE, and when she said 弹拨乐一起来 it was SOOO PATHETIC. cos it meant we heard a lot of zhongruan and there we were, trying to play loudly enough to be audible. and when zhongruan didn’t play, there were only 2 of us. and we weren’t even called 柳琴and 琵琶 anymore. towards the end lls started calling us “你们两个”. =.=

xiaozu was like that too. sigh poor us. two people trying to play above the sound of five zhongruans and one daruan. and as usual, dengqing and i were sitting at the two opposite ends of the semicircle. (and unfortunately she makes full use of this fact to make faces at me which she has been doing since we started playing huoba.)

and in the middle of xiaozu we were quite sian cos we already played through all our 练习曲 and 漠楼and 蝉歌(which, when i suggested it, dengqing heard as changdi and looked very shocked o.0) so we started on all the old songs haha. well bits of them. 忙春 and 凉风 and etc etc. you know all the old stuff (: then zls asked tanbo to 合蝉歌 and of course the two of us were quite embarrassed cos i had moved all the way to the other end of the semicircle to prac with dengqing and we were laughing over the old stuff and looking quite dumb when she said that hehe. then zls asked us what we had been doing and dengqing was like oh 我们在弹以前的曲子 and the rest of tanbo looked at us quite weirdly. okay maybe not many people like playing old songs but anyway we find it fun. whatever. :P

OH AND TANBO WAS EARLY BACK FROM LUNCH TODAY! YAY YAY YAY. haha yeah this is the first time. generally we are late. either we eat too slowly or walk too slowly or see the wrong time or have problems fixing up the bill (like yesterday. that is the most pathetic way to be late. seriously.) cos yesterday we went to pizza hut and 6 of us shared this group set thingy (which was meant for 4 people) and jiahe and jiahui ordered their own stuff, so it was quite hard to count what everyone should pay, and then there was this confusion about which thing on the bill was whose meal and there was still the gst that made everyone confused so everyone calculated differently =.= so we had to ask the waitress what referred to what and then when we had finally found out which meal was which and what the amount everyone should pay was, people had not enough money or not exact change and there was this general flurry of borrowing and exchanging money. so when everyone handed me the money it was in small change and nicole gave me $7.60 in 50 and 20 and 10 cent coins. so i, being a nice person who didn’t want to give pizza hut $63.80 in a mixture of small change, dug out the $50 that i claimed back from our smp mentor the other day. and now i have $50 in 10, 5, 2 dollar notes and $1, 50, 20 and 10 cent coins. sigh. oh then when i was counting the money, i asked dengqing to hold the $61 that i counted already, then there was $2.80 on the table. and i conveniently forgot i gave dengqing $61 and thought i only gave her $60. so i counted $62.80 and ended up $1 short. so i recalculated everything and multiplied and checked again and it was correct so we shouldn’t have been $1 short. and everyone was so blur and they apparently didn’t realise what i didn’t either but should have: that the “missing” $1 coin had been sitting innocently in dengqing’s hand all along. =.=

okay our lunch today was significantly less time-consuming. we bought from different places and sat under the escalator eating. and i bought bubble tea. which had a hole in the bottom of the cup. and i didn’t realise till i sat down, cos while i was walking to the escalator i was attempting to shake it. since the hole was right at the bottom, nothing happened until i turned it back the right way and stuck the straw in and then it exploded. okay to be exact, bubble tea exploded out from the bottom of the cup. so i had to hold it in a plastic bag and put it on the floor so it wouldn’t spill out and i had to drink it like that. which was kind of embarrassing cos i had to bend over and drink out of the straw with the cup on the floor. -.- jiahe suggested that i go back to the bubble tea place and tell them but i didn’t want to cos firstly they wouldn’t do anything about it, secondly it would be so troublesome for me to explain it all to them and i wasn’t very sure what i would have gone there to ask to start with (yes well, i don’t know why i never seem to be able to communicate well with salespeople). and thirdly cos by the time i walked back, i would have left a nice trail of green apple tea and pearls on the path from the escalator to the bubble tea place and successfully attracted the attention of a lot of unwanted people as well as the cleaners who would in all probability come chasing after me with their brooms and dustpans and mops and whatever else. not a very appealing prospect.

well. and i now have dengqing’s juhuatai zongpu but i don’t feel like editing my score cos i am lazy. once you finish arranging a song, you generally don’t feel like going back to editing it again. i felt quite 心痛 when i had to go back to the old qinghuaci and delete off everything except for the first verse and chorus for the medley. okay 心痛isn’t exactly it but i was just reluctant to delete off everything if it wasn’t for the fact that a medley would be a lot better than qinghuaci alone. now i would much much rather throw the song at dengqing or weiyi or someone and ask them to edit. but don’t worry i’ll do it haha. at least i don’t have to struggle with 霍元甲 (dengqing’s doing it HAHA) which is one of those songs that 跟我没有缘分的. ie i cannot arrange it. and this probably means we are taking out 兰亭序which wasn’t very nice anyway (though thanks to whoever suggested it to me; sorry i cannot remember who XP nevertheless i am still very grateful.)

sigh end of jixun today. somehow it didn’t seem like jixun. i think that’s because we usually have a three day jixun and that includes a lot of other stuff. mainly things like storeroom cleanup and huibao etc.

and i am still wondering if i should buy zls’s $16 拨片. seems rather a lot to spend on a pick but i know it’s good to play with. plus $16 is not an easy amount to 混 past my mum who would probably not approve of buying another pick. :/ but syf is coming and there is a molou solo for liuqin AND i lun quite a lot better with that 拨片than my current one.

dilemma. ><

sigh ok have to do smp. :/ typing in the numbers always makes me feel like i’m playing some weird 换把练习曲cos i use the numbers on top of the keyboard to type, and since they’re all repeat commands all i have to do is type in things at particular places in this order: 213 324 435 546 etc. so my right hand is controlling the arrow keys right and left and my left hand is moving across the keyboard steadily so it feels like a 练习曲 =.= [okay that’s like the don’t-know-how-many-th time i have made that face]

graahh okay shall stop here today.

medley!

2008-11-18T17:30:00.003+08:00

is anyone interested in listening to a [jay chou] medley and giving comments! (:

[i hope i didn't infringe any random law about copyrights of the song. shouldn't be right? i arranged it myself...]
