i'm really in a rant a lot mood right now.
really wanna call ruth and talk or something but at this kind of time if i am found to be talking on the phone for like 1+ hours i will prolly be stoned by my mum.
and besides she is always busy. she prolly still is very very busy. or maybe shes at church now. or maybe shes just very tired now and prolly KO-ed. i would have died living life like her. i've said it so many times shes sick of me saying it.
maybe i'm slowly getting into my post Street blues. i expected post Street to be quite happy cos i'll be finally liberated from all admin work and shitty stuff esp arranging things or like teaching people (ye i feel very ashamed to say that i'm quite sick of teaching people, i'll prolly make a very horrible teacher). but no leh. i'm not used to not thinking about street, and i still keep thinking about street, and how we must tell the next batch not to follow in our mistakes. the first year saw so many mistakes. and quite a lot of unhappy times. each time a streeter comes to tell me about affairs in street i sometimes feel quite sad for the mistakes that's been made. and because the time has passed, there will never be time to correct it. only when next batch comes, then we try to articulate what exactly went wrong for us. but its quite hard to explain when u havent been in it before. jc life is too short to pass to experienced people.
suddenly feel like talking to crystal also, for thanking her for always being so receptive to us teaching, willing to learn, shes one of the greatest students in street. i wonder how many sreeters feel after 1 half years of being in street. really wanna read and hear their honest opinions and not just a procedural reflections thing but a spontaneous outpouring of whats inside. i hope there is things inside to pour.
ruth was just telling me the other day about how being street chair is quite a thankless job, and i just added..like a mother. u sometimes dun feel quite appreciated. (saying thank you is one thing, how much you mean it could be another, and only time tells how much it means) i think shes feelng this way for a long time now. esp since 2 months ago ba. that somehow what she wanted aways seemed to be more than people wanted to achieve and hence people stop practising before they reach her standards or stop demanding before they reach the best that they can be. sometimes she feels like shes going through a lot of trouble to put up a good show, but shes the only one doing it. and i've heard this more than once from her: "that yea we're noobs/we're doing this for charity but that should not compromise on the quality of the performance.we need to respect our audience" i couldnt agree more. the point of street is not for people to see noob dance, but to see that altho we're new, we can do great stuff. but i think one year of performance has made people lose sight of that? or that perhaps people have grown complacent. i need not illustrate this. the last perf was enough evidence.
despite working much wif a (makeshift) mirror, i have a feeling streeters dun really see themselves well enough in it, they dun see a true reflection of themselves in there, they see wat they think they see, they see wat they feel they see. i am personally guilty of that at times. i would go down turn on the music and dance. dance to steps that i know, choreo/items that i know, full energy, for like 7-10 mins, before realising how I am still greatly lacking in my performance skills and sharpness. and begin to understand why my dad went for VIBE and came back telling me "you try very hard, but you have no talent for dance" i still cant fully understand what he's saying, and i'm just gonna convince myself he's doing that becos he has another motive to get me to mug hard and spend the rest of my half year mugging and doing nothing besides mugging. wat an evil conspiracy.
i'm feeling super emo now. thinking about street generally makes me feel emo. thinking about how there wun be much dance in my life for 1+months due to my poverty is going to make me very very moody. and thinking about how the rest of this half year is pure mugging and essay writing and uni applications and exams is prolly going to make me lose my character and soul. yes i'm gonna be very very emo.

Tuesdays
tuesday was Ms Nair's birthday. we had a nice cake for her which i think i ate more than 1/4 of it LOL.. such a pig am I. and we got her wonderful note presents. i really think notes mean more than presents. dunno why when i was preparing the thingy the nite before i was reading and reading and couldnt help crying. Ms Nair's just great
tuesday. Ms Nair showed us Tuesdays with Morrie. we finished it yesterday. made me wanna read the book, but dunno when i'll really get down to it. Time is indeed a scarce commodity these days. and it'll take a while for people to start living with a bird on their shoulders. if i were living with a bird on my shoulder, then maybe A levels wouldnt really be the top on my list (well i dun even think it is right now) and future planning will not take precedence over everything. yea maybe it shouldnt. life isnt all about building resume. i hope its still the case. I'd like to live more ideally than practically.. the movie had quite a bit of nice quotes from there "Why does everyone wanna be number one? whats wrong with being number two?" and there was quite a few on love. and how without love, we die. i think not physically die, but spiritually.. and i loved this the most: "A person dies, but the relationship stays". First time after a movie when the whole class was soooo quiet. and where we didnt fuss about going off early. and even when ms nair says we can go off early we kinda slowly zaoed..and lingered around..
tuesday. the first day of exco interviews. it was really through these interviews that i get suddenly reflection brainwaves, of how i had been at the beginning of last year, and of how i am now. and i'm seeing myself so clearly in rachel. (i wonder if any j1 is reading this) through street, i really saw for myself how a team works, how my past method of working on my own will not work out when there are so many things to be handled at the same time, how working on my own will not involve people and make them feel belonged, i saw the flaws of being impulsive or of following my heart more than my head... (i think i still do that but to a lower extent..i hope), i saw how we should not judge people too early and how they will surprise you, i saw how being quiet does not mean you don't contribute, i saw how even without holding a high position one can still contribute ideas and change street for the better, and i saw how it is good to have birds eye view ie macro view like what ruth does, and how being really meticulous and seeing all the little details will not be enough, but that will take while for me to get. i remember getting troubled as i started to get sick of street as i saw all the admin, and how on more than one occasions, i was merely pushing forward mindlessly, perhaps the macro understanding could have brought me further, but i remember how no matter how much ruth explained i couldnt get it, i couldnt see it in action, even though words seem logical. i remember writing before that i'm not that effective a leader but more of a follower, and even as a leader, i need to constantly remind myself a leader works, discusses, figures out stuff, decides with her team not on her own (i was hoping i had semi achieved that in my PW team). i learnt that as equals, (yes we're equals, whether we're CT rep or chair or vchair or member or treasury) i cannot really command people to do things, but they must be willing to do it or to be supportive of your decision. and although we may not have been able to achieve so ideal an environment in street, i think out of 100%, we've achieved 85%. which is quite remarkable of a first year dance group. we saw a lot of our errors, which still has it effects on our members today, like how we had untapped-on talent and people who could have progressed so much but werent given the chance to. i learnt that i should trust, and also guide, (i think almost all my learning was in this year ><) and not to do for them (ie when we allocate stuffs out), but i think i still have much to learn about how to guide, and keep checking, without doing it already. yes this first batch was truly bumpy, with us gaining much more wisdom as october/promos/open house neared. << yes we took that much time. and even up to this year, we are still making mistakes. and i really hope that we could learn from these mistakes and inform the next batch, and the next batch and the next batch, about it. I'm sure the 2nd batch wouldnt be very easy either, but i hope that with our advice, it'll work out better. we'll always be here for advice!
today we broke the news of new exco to them. i hope they will accept it and work well with it. trust us in our judgement, our experience in handling all these things on our own has taught us much more than teacher ics and leadership camps can. mistakes teach people harder lessons -and we've learnt, now we hope you'll take our advice. our experiences are enough to tell us what arrangement will work out. now is for all to give each other a chance, to know each other better, to believe in each other, and not to devalue yourself, and i'm sure that with that, yall can bring street to very great heights in the future.

still 2 things else thats bugging me but i'll just write about one.
R PROJECT!
wo de tian.
people are going for it cos they hear of the battle. (like we're trying to pick a fight -.- i'm sure)
being the black sheep that i am, i seriously doubt the success of this battle.
they say its street vs dance, but i dun think it'll work out. the current teams is already kinda screwed up. its not street v dance right now anyways. and seriously half the people involved have no idea what they're in for and we're kinda freaking out.. if you wan a spectacular show, i certainly hope yall wun be disappointed. meanwhile, more talks will be initiated. oh my tian. if i'm not confident..i may just withdraw =S

vibe!
i love the time now
i love the number of hours i slept in class today
i love the number of hours i slept once i got home today...
last nite saw the conclusion of street concert. it was a blast! even tho it was short, it was crowded, probably hot also, i think most who went down were happy with wat we prepared for them. and i hope the $12 was worth it.
for it was a display of all streeters' hard work, especially over this past 1 1/2 months, back stage crew, onstage performer; the kids' hard work over the last 2 months. it couldnt make me more glad to see them happy after their performance and enjoying themselves, interacting with the other matk kids.
i think for a first time concert, for a 2 year old interest group (yes we are still not a CCA), this concert was really successful and it really made me feel that all the hard work over the past 1 1/2 years was worth it. feels like we're writing history.. we've started street's history with such vibrance, i hope street's journey will continue a long way more..
great thanks to all who came down, for spending that precious time that could have been spent shopping with friends/mugging bio spa/finishing chem tutorials/with family. we couldnt have done without your support. family members and friends who have spurred on streeters during our down days, thanks so much to you too, for keeping us sane despite our insane practices, for understanding our coming home late.. and as most in the audience were from RJ, great thanks to the school population for your support for street. we'll need your continued support to make us a CCA one day =)
the meeting for all streeters after the concert was the best.. we thrashed out everything, what we felt, what could have been improved, and the Anderson's ice cream just made everyone feel so blessed that we managed to finish the concert smoothly. i wished i really managed to get the auntie annes tho.. i really hope we can continue this CIP thing and concert thing into the next year. i have confidence in the next batch.. j1s if yall need help, we'll always be around to help alright?
so half my life is ending.. it'll be exco interviews and handover by the end of this week. and then my life will be over. lol leaving only the mugging. and looking at the pile of untouched homework and notes.. i better start recovering on my mugging soon.
3am now.ms nair's bday celebrations in 5 hours. nite.
i love the number of hours i slept in class today

a long walk. and more to go.
i'm feeling a little distraught about the current state of affairs. concert was supposed to be a chance for everyone. a perf planned well in advance, so that people have time to learn more. for it is through performances that people learn the most. but it din work out. people need time to practice, to learn, to adapt, to absorb, and now we no longer have it.
and i still remember the little aspirations we had, ideas that popped out of nowhere, that made us all excited but never got put into action. remember performers in the audience? spotlights in the audience? the concept of a storyline? and i'm wondering what should i have done. thinking back now, maybe at that point in time, i would not have had the foresight to tell people to do otherwise, or the thought of reminding myself about the original objectives i had wanted to achieve through concert. to me, it was not so much about the kids. it was more about us. street.
why didnt i push for practices to start in february. were we all too caught up with J1 stuffs then? j1 orientation and beginning of programme, the planning of j1 programme was wat occupied us for the first 2 weeks or so of february. i should have sensed something was wrong when streeters say they wanna dance, but there was no dance sessions for them. why didnt i check on the choreography then? or was it because i was still being fooled by grand plans and not knowing it. maybe i was caught up with trying to decide and finalise the concept of the concert. we did not have a venue and we had too limited funds. we had even grander plans for selling stuffs that i knew would not really work out. maybe it was a point in time when finances was being changed rediscussed, we were waiting results from somewhere.. there was cny, take five, dramafeste, and without details confirmed, no one had the motivation to start prac.. no. more like there was nothing to prac about.
and by the time march came, no one wanted to practice, because we were 3 weeks away from common test. and the choreographers needed their mugging times. because when CTs come, we are supposed to stop everything and just focus energy on CTs. because exams are more important than any other activities. such a pity. i knew we should have started practice when I was already starting CIP with the kids and finding time very limited. but we cant. CTs were 3 weeks away. and "not everyone can handle CTs and street stuff at the same time like me." yes i was being told that same line a zillion times during that few weeks.
i thought ok we'll wait till after CTs, then we must start practice. but there was still nothing to practice about. it was 6 weeks to performance. except, at that point in time, we still did not have the date confirmed as we did not have the venue confirmed.it wasnt till that week was almost over, 5 weeks, when we finally semi confirmed the venue. and there was more distractions. we had no name. we spent that week trying to settle on a name. yes we spent a week on it. and then we had to work out disparities between what people wanted on a poster. and get the relevant resources/people who are able to do a poster on the computer.by then poster design was one week late. and by the time the 'final' copy came out, we were 2 weeks behind deadline. and there was street nite. and there was various editing, before i finally sent it for printing 2 weeks after it was supposed to be submitted.
and i was so caught up with posters that all i could do to check on the concert group, was to insist that prac started. and i know thats not really called checking. the very first prac session occurred on 9th april just last week. 4 weeks left. and it was to teach the choreography i came up with the tuesday before. i dunno wht happened to the rest of the choreography. it just couldnt come out... and that was the only practice last week. for weds, thurs and fri were spent trying to get as much choreo done/extracted as possible (i am so happy for the group of you who stepped in to figure out a solution.. I wouldnt know what to do on my own..), to rearrange our current item arrangements so as to reach a feasible solution.
so here we are now, in this week. 3 weeks more like 2 1/2 weeks left to concert. at least i can now see a direction where we are going, yet it is still very saddening for me (and for ruth) to shift people around items, because the original intent was not to re-focus on the same people again. we wanted to groom yall. but perhaps i din have the foresight in mid-feb to countdown the no. of weeks/days, to pressurise items earlier, to get people involved earlier, so that we may have more time to help the weaker ones. and it was with lots of heartache that i see i cannot fit people in, that i see old segments reused, that i see the same people appearing in all perfs, that i see myself involved in a full item, when my original intentions were only to dance with the kids. i really did not want street to be just a few strong people hiding the weak people. and it is with great regret that at this point in time i find we have to revert to this again. indeed disappointing. street can be so much more. if only we had more time or realised earlier. i believe the concert will be very good, but this wun be street at its best. sadly..
i think i have been sunken in this kind of mindless doing stuff for a long time. that when ruth first started speaking to me mid last week, i could only make head or tail of what ruth was getting at yesterday.. and could only find time to get this down today since i reached home at an unearthly 2300hours yesterday.
come on. we have 2 more weeks. i'm sure we can do this =) nows the time for every streeter to give your all to street. for it is only when all of you give what you can, can we resurrect ourselves from this nearly deathly mess.
this post probably comes at a very bad time. i'm not trying to dampen publicity efforts. We do have exciting and new items in this concert. we're trying out new styles such as street jazz and we're also trying a swing-ish kind of hiphop. oh theres girly hiphop as well. i'm trying to see if i can insert more kpop elements since those are what the school population rarely sees, and kpop dance style is quite unique. we're also having an item that takes a more dramatic perspective/interpretation of hiphop. the good thing about hiphop is that it is really flexible and and quite all-encompassing, yet you can tell that each component has its own style, and that hiphop is not always the same. our invitational groups also doing breaking, popping, locking, and we have a kids group as well. perhaps these performances can introduce everyone to more genres of streetdance. and hopefully street will be able to bring out the different styles and attitudes of each performace.
to all who have ordered/bought tickets, thanks for your support. my deepest and most sincerest thanks to all who come, close friends, not so close friends, we'll do our best to not waste your money and let you down. really appreciate yall coming down to watch us.

so long
seems like a long time has passed. maybe cos CTs have passed. usually would find time in between mugging to xian around..but mugging dun seem very worth an entry.. and as usual when CTs finish..i get into some weird sad and empty kind of state. like at the end of last year promos...been angsty! i dunno why. emily and i decided cos we're both emilys, we're naturally angsty. really dunno why tho. i havent even been thinking about stuff.. gives me no reason to be moody.
anyways. street concert can zoom forward now. so many things to be done by this weekend. kids item to be fully choreod, j2 item to be fully choreod, j2 item must start prac next week, poster design must be sent in next week, and must quickly decide if we wanna sell any more things to help raise money for VSA. we haf quite a bit of extra money. anyone got ideas? that can get approval from school very quickly de. then can raise money. put money to good use ma..since we have it already *ponders* so heres the confirmed concert details

Kids: this week's theme
today's lifestyle pages 8 and 9 are wonderfully inspiring articles. read them!
this weekend's been a roller coaster ride. i'm so happy theres no school tml.
On thursday we had streetex meeting. rgd cip project. i think we're progressing really well. but we just met with a roadblock. our venue sponsor decided not to sponsor us. left us so lost for a while. threw up many ideas and stressed out on friday calling people. we called back our original venue and seems they are quite willing to sponsor us. haii seems like our original sponsors didnt even talk to our supposed venue people. oh well i think this should work out. pray and hope hard.
Saturday was Class CIP. Sports Carnival at Gracehaven. i think, for a first time, we did fairly well. not exceptional, but not too bad.it would have been better, perhaps if all of us learnt how to deal with kids, what exactly are their emotional needs. i mean, how do you deal with children then come in and before everything starts, they cry,because their parents did not come while other parents came. how do you deal with children who get violent after losing a game because they are upset inside, that their parents left halfway thru the day. and perhaps mich and i were too stress/jinzhang/worried, somehow i couldnt speak and give instructions properly, so the dry run was kinda messy and we could not end briefing in time to get dry run started. a number of lost stuff. my failure balancing role as equipment head and group leader (lincoln! how could u do this to me!watch out as my sharpened knife nears ur throat..) but at the end of it all, the kids wrote their feelings and stuff. and as i read, i was very touched. i feel like we really made a differerence. however small it may be, but for today, most of the kids were really happy to have a special day in gracehaven. for those whose parents came, it must have been very special for them to be involved in games together. as i saw parents and children working thru the 3 legged race,and parents using watever ways they can to help in the fill the bottle game. the parents who turned up are really very sporting. but at the same time, we saw how the kids really wish, inside them, for their parents to be closer to them, long to go home, and how some parents have so many children yet are unable to care for all of them. i went to the home on friday to take a look at the place before the actual day actual event, and the girl i tutored, actually remembers me! i tutored her only for 1 day, under 2 hours, and it was almost a full year ago! i din remember her name =( and i almost didnt recognise her also. haii but now i know and i will remember. wanna quickly grow up and adopt her. and make her feel important and loved. but of course she will also grow up la.. so maybe just visit her more.
and today, i read 2 articles. one is of a superdoctor. who specialises in leukemia in children at st jude children hospital. he's here to give a talk and i missed it. sadly. but its ok. at least i read about him. such a great doctor that inspires me. the other is of a woman in the health service. she works in A&E at Changi General Hospital. the article is about how she balances work and life and family. i certainly hope that i can be like that in the future. that even though i may become a doctor, i will still be able to spend time at home, with my children. and may my children be able to learn about the joys of serving others and putting others first at a young age. hospitals really should adopt flexi-hours. another inspiration. yea i think i will go into medicine.
on a side note, i saw my baby cousin today again hehe so happy. he so cute la! he will scrunch up his face wen he's angry to see if got tears to squeeze out. then when we all laugh he'll laugh along. and then run to daddy cos mummy made him angry haha. heres a pic of him! its my wall paper now! =D

At the beginning
We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on....
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you.
suddenly so into disney songs..loves anastasia and lion king! <3<3 haha!

take.5
din even intend to go for take.5. no need to go liao since no responsibility to be judge or taking part in event. sumore ruth and my sister clan people all busy with sth, and siok prolly wun come. in horrible mood in the night la..my daddy dun let me play mahjong -_- even had my letter ready. slept uber early, then autowake up at 7.. so decided i'll go and support benny and experiment wif my hp's video function. heh my lousy phone can only video 20 secs at a time..gave up videoing.. on one hand cos my hp plthed and on the other hand i wanted to watch! =p really some zai shit la
then justina and i decided to be piggy and go eat CNY samples haha. got bengawan solo goodies =D=D and then got seaweed stuffs, honey comb biscuits hehe so happy haha we went to admire royce chocs and then wen pool. ahaha first time i pool leh. not bad. the balls actually went in =D justina says: look pro. lol it works! until quite late liao then go back. ok la made me feel happier after my dad refusing to lemme play mahjong last nite.
jiahui got sleeping pigs. and i took a picture with my brother haha but i look unglam and messy in that pic so i wun post it HAHA gerald gave me flower but like all real flowers that die, i think its in its later stages now. (haii my fingers are red..no tinge of green in them. plants in my hands never fail to die prematurely) so its upside down and hopefully it will dry nicely =p
after take.5 went out wif sister clan. watched bball. then emily had to zao and the bus took too long to come. we went for some seafood soup place and jiahui wanted to treat us to dessert. where i had nice aloe vera and sea coconut. went taka's nike shop =D=D=D saw Boa!! so chioo.. take pictures!!!! haha purposely go there to take pictures one hehehe

reading
reading gp is good. it has made me more aware. i think it has. or at least more informed..despite the lag. history is quite an exciting subject. then look at all the intl relations.
aieesh anyway. i think doing CIP here is very weird. although the kids we are working with are apparently low income families, somehow i feel like theres sth not quite right. and its not only recently that i hear about such stuffs. i always thot that kids from low income families will be the first to learn that following material and fashion trends are but empty superficiality, since they are supposed to be deprived. everyone has handphones by p3, with fancy hp dangling things. everyone wears converse or adidas shoes, everyone carries zinc bags, everyone has a nike bottle.. i always thot that compared to their peers, deprived kids will learn to grow up faster. maybe i was wrong. or maybe its because of the environment that they live in. perhaps one that i will never get to understand. maybe they live in an environment where non-conformist renders you an outcaste. so for those who do not possess such things, do not go for manicures, do not have an inclination for fashion and material stuff, they really dun fit in.. and to fit in, one must posess such goods and put on a character that is in line with the rest of the peers. so maybe its not their fault that they seem so spoilt and demand for branded look good stuff. maybe its cos of the society they are in. and wen we go for CIP, tuitioning or what not, as a senior who is supposed to help them, i get very tempted to want to change them, change their attitudes, but i haf no idea how ><

gahh
i wish i can understand old people better. i so pissed off at my grandparents for making my dad's life so difficult. i mean. based on one small matter make the conclusion that he's not respectful, and then refuse to consider the other times when he had to wei3 qu1 or like did things that showed more respect and care than anything. but they just see the bad things.. i certainly hope this whole issue is not cos i forgot to address them during a family outing and then them coming to petty conclusions. this issue better not be the root cause of how my dad got into this kind of shit. i will tear myself apart. been watching my parents trying to satisfy my grandparents for all my life and they just seem to get pettier and pettier and nth will make them happy. ughhhhh

the evil SATs
I absolutely shouldn’t be blogging rite now, with econs essay undone and maths tutorial undone and due tomorrow. but I’m seeing so many ppl getting so stressed up esp in this week with upcoming SATs in 2 days time. and I’m getting kinda worried for people… its like over this week people are like in this still kinda mood and everyone is like quietly boiling over.
And these 2 weeks been so hectic for street I’m so thankful for every streeter who has come down to help out during trial session and during interviews. Special thanks to emme ruth sheena who’s been organising so many things and getting so stressed and tired. when ruth came to find me today I thought, omg ruth needs a rest… and sheena just told me she’s having SATs on Saturday and she’s been so busy with all the arranging of interviews and all. and I only found out today that she having SATs.. oh my. really thank the organising ppl for all your tenacity and your willingness to come down and help and sacrifice stuff for street. and wat I’ve heard is that simin and sheena still organising more stuffs for j1s.. like O_O and simin and clarice has got SATs too!
and everyone been bugging me like how to mug for SATs and how to calculate score and stuff..and I just wanna tell them not to freak and stress so much. this pressure cooker world in RJ is really quite scary. so mind blowing that it takes ppl of great strength to keep sane. if this is going to happen for SAT II in may/june I will just freak out and die. and for the whole of the last 2 weeks, SAT is probably the most evil word around school. people pon school to mug SATs.. and teachers continue to pile work on us and we’re like terribly lagging. must seriously unlag myself. all ppl out there pls get enough sleep and take care of yourselves. I’m sure this will all pass soon. to all taking SATs this sat, jiayou jiayou! I’m sure u’ll do fine. just be patient and careful =)
heh..and we’ll have a little while to rest, before the SPAs come. ><

stagnated
OH MY O_O I’m sure I write a whole lot of stuff then I highlight and all DISAPPEAR! what the… ahh now I shall slowly try to remember what I wrote hmph. [lol I remember I have yet to show gerald tt expression hah!]
ok so here goes..
this place been super dead arh.. like hj says..dead like zombie XD schools only started for 20 days and I already craving for a break to unlag myself.
last week been the tiringest week. maybe its cos I’m growing old. somehow I remember that in sec4 there seemed to be more things to handle and I still somehow lived through it “properly”. but ruth says that there comes a time when u have so many things to do that you don’t really worry about late homework/late proposals/late presentations anymore. and since I’m still worrying about undone homework, I should still be handling fine. lol how optimistic. I think its good to brace yourself. over the last weekend I slept like pig and these 2 days managed to stay awake and finish up what I need to do. last week was so bogged down with non-work things that I KO so uncontrollably, that zombie also cannot wake me. [lol whats with the stupid rhyme] then got so pissed off at myself that my mum decided I had ‘turned bad’ [sounds like food expired..] and became defiant cos I din sleep properly for 3 days, left the comp and lights on twice, and was angsting for 3 days. what a fallacious conclusion. then start imposing unreasonable and inefficient “solution methods” like coping my hp and switching off internet at 11pm, get me pissed off to substantiate their ‘turned bad’ argument only. heh but 至少 over liao.
so my theoretically 2 month (in reality 3 month) attachment is finally going to end tomorrow. its like 又喜又悲 cos I’ll be meeting my attachment frens again! and I dun need to come back lab again! but also it’s the last time I see them and last time I will see my lab ppl also. tomorrow last day going to be quite 壮观 I see those big tables, pro poster boards, nice cloth and ribbons and flowers in the foyer of the labs. wah really some big event. I better not screw up tomorrow. hope that nothing weird will happen to me and ppl dun fall asleep in my chim chim presentation. sounds quite chim to me, but that’s the way my mentor wants it so heh. and I hope I dun look like a lego block tomorrow. blazer always make me look like rectangle. =S
tomorrow I not going school. feel suddenly liberated. like 内心的欲望终于实现 [why do i have a feeling some words i used here haf wrong connotations...><]. then can finally sit down and sort my work out. been feeling like telling teacher I dun wanna attend tutorial cos I haven’t really prepared and ask if can have another tut session wif teacher but then like the teacher got a lot of time liddat. I should just sort myself out. at least tml I can reach home earlier..like 6pm, then can start reading notes, and doing maths chem. tutorial, and must prepare for econs case study econs essay, GP compre test and hand in bio prac. all the Wednesday due things push back to thurs. lol wish me luck on thurs. hah..
by this weekend prolly J1 streeter list will be out. must go confirm their activities after interview fast fast. still have CIP that must get started. and ruth is uncontactable -_- poor girl I think she also very tired. shes reached the “don’t really worry about late homework/late proposals/late presentations” stage but she seems to be sitting there quite comfily lol. ok tt sounds quite bad. I’m sure she’ll pull herself out of there soon.
ms nair is my new ct. I think we’re so lucky to have her. but dunno how many in the class truly feel blessed to get her. shes like heavensent angel. [got classes so sad to have “lost” ms nair to us..] always feel quite sad for teachers that (suddenly) get my class cos its quite a difficult to handle class. and I like her inspiring quote thing. you are better than you think you are – if only you try. at the end of the year we can do like a quote book from ms nair. live like its your last day, learn like its your first. so hard to live like its my last day. I always seem to be living for tomorrow, cos will just keep planning for tomorrow’s stuffs. and with lagging notes, I start telling myself theres always tomorrow to cover that. lol.what if tomorrow never comes… [choi! choi! how can talk such rubbish!]
lolls I just took a break from preparation for tomorrow. I shall go back and continue writing my cards. and I better not forget my chocs tomorrow. update more another time.
ok so here goes..

christmas eve
have been gone for quite while..
these 2 weeks quite eventful..rain, flood, late nite dance pracs, choreoing, music mixing, having class party, gift making, shopping, chatting, and craving for happy feet =S i din find time to record after all. haha sad i din take the chance to do that while my family was away
ruth came over last friday. we watched Bi and luo zhi xiang's concert dvd. rocks. except i was too tired to be high or like take notice of the dance steps. and theres a log cake sitting in my fridge feeling quite leng3 luo4. lol we dunno wat to do with it. how do u eat that big house thing lol. i bet ruth was eyeing it. think she's always starving at my house. then must always tell her to bring food lol. then in the morning go market together haha
dance pracs been quite tiring..last weds thurs sat sun. reach home 11 plus 12 liddat. then ruth take over..and i go mix music. think i never mix music so quickly before. finish in one nite..then this week only went for one friday morning. since there wasnt much to do in the lab. feel like a lump of lard already.
my date with jeanette up till now still havent go. seems like cant find a common time. and the weather always foils our plans.. must find some day go cycling or sth..pffff..
wednesday was class party. our class parties were never really successful..but this time i thot it wasnt too bad. we had more ppl than usual and we played crappy games. and we had lots lots lots of food. i hope it isnt too much burden on our class treasury.. looking at the amount of food i wonder how much they spent getting the food. i was getting pasta and fried rice and lousy me couldnt find the normal pasta thingy in carrefour. can only find the weird overseas brands one XP organic pasta some more omg.. and i couldnt find the canned mushrooms! haha i think thats so funny..cant help laughing at myself.. the carrefour at PS just has weird arrangement. we had duck and little octopuses and there was nice dessert and chicken and salad. yes we had like a lot a lot a lot of food. which we of course couldnt finish. i dunno how we got rid of them in the end. anyway i brought back pasta and fried rice..which settled my maid's and my lunch and dinner for the next few days. so yes i've been eating my lunches and dinners.
had sherlyn over yesterday. to eat pancakes lol. my brother couldnt find the maple syrup wen we went carrefour for breakfast shopping the last time so we made do with honey. ahh pancakes rock. they smell nice look nice taste nice lalala.. and we had a video feast also. converted sherlyn into a Boa fan lol. yes Boa is good =D and also showed her M's stuffs and se7en and hyori haha. been occupying myself and not getting emo or angsty..maybe soon but not yet =)
eek..school's starting soon. yux i wan more time to prep for countdown and look for nice outfits...

ladida
guess wat
i'm blogging for the lab. and look at the time. lol. to be blogging from the labs at this time could mean 2 things - that i am waiting for results O_O like i dunno.. running gel or digestions.. OR i'm done and am waiting for my parents to come. today it is [rarely and happily] the latter =) yay
been leaving the labs so late lately. but the bus is always still rather crowded. the bus i takes go from harbourfront down west coast road pass NUS and then down to clementi,bkt batok, then my house. and maybe its cos its the hols and many ppl go shopping or sentosa to play and go home late, the bus is always still rather full even though i leave at like 9 or later. and without fail i will definitely find this 2 seater occupied by a sleeping kid wif another kid sleeping on the mum's lap. but i dun get pissed at that tho, even if the bus is really really crowded. somehow the kid seems to need to sleep more than one of the standing ppl need to sit o.O and everyone on the bus really seems to be in their own little music bubble. yesterday i saw this mum wif her 2 sons, prolly abt sec4 sec1, and all three had their own set of earphones connected to their personal ipod/hp/mp3... i could only tell they were a family when the mum started talking to her sons.. showing them some sms/picture on her hp or sth.
and NUS is not so deserted at night also. i see the arts or business ppl at the bus stop that i walk pass wen walking to the public bus stop outside. and theres usually ppl in the lab. but tonite i am the only person in the lab. [which explains why blogging on their computer suddenly became legal..] lol i hope my parents come soon. it is rather eerie now cos the lights are partially off..
*
ok bad. i din hang up the phone properly so my parents couldnt call me and i waited. and my dad came up to my lab to find me. so pissed at myself for making my parents go through so much trouble. ughugh.
n it is 12 am now. i am to haf started mixing. everynite i come home and tell myself to mix music and i dun mix it. and i spend time brooding over things i dun even know abt. like just feel so down over i know not wat and spend time feeling down. such a dumb thing to do yet i cant stop myself from doing tt. ugh. snap out of it and start working aiyaiyai

finished
my sats is over and i think..finished. lol..ok now its time to move on..
went back for dance prac after sats.. but my brain numbed state allowed me to choreo some ugh shit.. super no inspiration. and wen i went back, my ma said wanna go vivocity.. wah really 人挤人. i think vivo still gets quite a big number of visitors on weekends even though its been around for a while. and day before yesterday was its official opening sumore. then walk around the whole place. i think we scoured every shop there. but my family ish e best shoppers. we din buy anything! lol really see no touch lol and i'm suddenly very tempted to watch happy feet! ahhh..it looks v cute! hehehe [yesh i still haf an inclination for cartoon movies =p]
and after a whole day of standing/walking. my ankle is officially swollen. yesh one side has a lump there, unlike the other side. and its painful to squat.. =( cos last saturday, i, being the lousy and clumsy person tt i am, missed a step on the bus, and landed hard on my ankle..so its been kinda weak..and now, it rocks. ouch.
today 心血来潮 decided to clear my room. feel so proud of myself. my ma says: "wah 终于见地了" [she was referring to my floor and my table top] lol. and i am proud to say, I FOUND THE ANT NEST IN MY ROOM LIAO =D=D=D=D wonderful. maybe now there wun be so many ants around. lalala. now i haf my econs and gp file to tend to. and everything else is in order! congratulate me =D
and today, i finally discarded most of my PW things. feel so happy to discard them hehe. left oni the final EOM, WR and OP to look pretty hehehe. then threw away all the drafts that had scribbling all over. and put the rest nicely in one folder =)
i think next time wen i clear my room, i should wear a mask. otw cannot breathe. everytime i clear my room, i get a double block. ie my nose. its like trickling the whole day, cannot breathe, cannot blow. can oni sniff, but it still drips lol.
feels like a lot of things off my back liao. now haf the 2 CIP projs and my lab proj. i sincerely hope my transformations will start working. i haf a feeling my E.Coli already has ampicillin resistance before i even add the plasmid in. so my control plates grow so much E.Coli its nearly lawn. and next time, maybe i should adjust the amt of enzyme i use based on concentration instead of just following protocol. aieesh. must jiayou for my proj. and hope i finish it. may luck be with me. [ok maybe not only luck, but pls oh pls let my transformations start working =(]
and may i soon get inspiration for mixing the song. theres only ONE MORE MTH left! and we only haf 1 1/2 mins worth of dance! omg..

><
why. i feel so overloaded.
i'm highly irritated that i'm not getting my results. its the 4th week le. and theres only 4 more weeks left. and i am not happy with my progress. and i am still having problem with my initial stages of the project. i cant get my yeast (or E.coli for that matter) correctly transformed. and i dunno why i am getting contamination everywhere.maybe i should consider the use of a lab coat.. and everyone seems so busy. i feel like i'm a burden to my mentor and like my failure to transform properly and keep having to redo each stage of the transformation is making him rather disappointed. well at least it is making me very disappointed. and theres only 4 more weeks. i sincerely hope that by the end of the 8 weeks i can happily present a project that i did and not rely on my mentor and present his findings. i am bloody worried. i wish i can spend all my time in the lab 9 to 9 so that i can right all my wrongs and finish up the project. BUT i need to come back to mug...
i wish i din have so many things to do in the hols..i feel that i hadnt spent enough time mugging for my h3 and havent spent enough time mugging for my SATs which is in some dire straits... my english is so lousy that my math cant help pull my score up enough.and there are other commitments too, and i really wanna go back to school to speak to teachers so that i can get details of CIP stuffs sorted out but EVERYONE is busy and out of town and basically CIP projects that start in the hols probably cant get any substantial grounds to start properly. ugh wth am i talking abt. the proposal just cant get approved la... the teacher mentor is almost always not around. and wen she is around, nobody is free to see her. i bloody hate dragging CIP proposals. we break records dragging proposals for 1 month. i hope the class cip proposal thingy wun drag so long. its already been dragging...[and postponing things dun mean we can slack wth. its so that we have enough time to figure out stuff and not like SLACK AWAY and wait for time to pass..14dec is not tt far ugh] and 3rd dec is coming. ie ruth is coming back. and music is supposed to have been mixed. and most of the choreo done. oh my shit. i can just about explode now.

爱失控
时间
一分一秒被偷走
所谓的永久
被曾经取代后
变成恶魔
手里握着多余的温柔
独自反复思索
收藏保留
随风飞走
说来轻松
自由
是否会比较好过
原来没有
成全的背后
总有痛苦在招手
记忆停留在最初时候
星光已不再闪烁
无话可说
继续走
还是朋友
让你走
我的爱失控
藏在幸福快乐的背后
是我
逃避退缩
放开手
对爱不再有奢求
是非对错不想再多说
眼神交会时候
出卖承诺
泪在留
想通
躲在黑暗的出口
难以捉摸
是缘份的作用导致失控
还是孤独一时的冲动
抹去爱情轮廓
故事内容
谁补充
安静的尘封
世界的旋律因你而转动
就算再失控
落空
音符交织感动
就够
让你走
我不再是我
感受不到心跳的触碰
占有
转眼成空
放开手
对爱不再有奢求
徘徊梦中模糊脸孔
遗留在角落
不再轻易
地经过
wahh..this mv is damn emo..then they were in mud or something.like utter despair.. suits the song. though i still like the korean version better

想见你,
没有你,城市再炫也没意义,热闹的全都是你的幻影
想见你,心太急,狂奔拥挤的人群里。多希望下一秒就见到你
(= 无印良品 rocks
why is it that all teens find that their parents are not supportive in what they are doing, not "loving/accepting them for who they are" and feel that their parents have this set of ideals by which they want their child to turn out to be and seek ways and means to make the child fit this set of ideals. ideals like...getting straight As, coming back from school obediently, going for academic attachments and competitions, no staying out beyond 8pm, no arcade, no lan, dun buy music albums of idols, dun buy computer games, dun spend pocket money on things other than lunch... OMG
heh i told myself at the beginning of this year (or rather at the end of last year) that i will be obedient this year and not make my parents upset by not doing things that will make them worried. but wth. parents get harder and harder to please.. especially when u start having an idea of how you wan ur life to be and its going against ur parents ideals
so i save to pursue what i want and my mum says i have too much money. my mum says the same thing when my bro saves so he can get NBA live and FIFA in alternating years. and lucky him has an older bro to save with him. they share cost. how wonderful economies of scale can be. 为什么突然觉得好像孤军作战?but things are different, my dad is also interested in such gaming and says "if you ask i would have given you the money to buy that" and i enroll in a dance class and they make a huge hoo ha out of it like wth. i've done it before, they made noise before, why cant they bloody accept it? noise made once is enough.
and they keep asking me to study. 要考钢琴的时候又不见他们这么关心,还跑去外国,考试都不知道。怎么突然这么紧张?又不是他们在考。they think my holidays only have 3 things to worry about: attachment, SATs and H3. i dream my life so simple. i wont want a life that so mundane pls. i'll rather make myself damn busy and highly active than just worry about those 3 things during my holidays. just so happens that everything is coming at the wrong time and everything is packed into this one week. I'm sure i mug H3 and SATs and choreo and come up wif various various proposals. but i cant complain. i asked for it. so i handle it. damn. i need to slp now.
do people ever get tired of STUDYING..i mean i probably wun get tired of learning but studying? dammit.

站在十字路的交点 该怎么走 我却只剩回头

Yes everyone will be leaving..or has left. for some place or another. like the whole school is going overseas CIP or overseas sth. my fanily is going spain portugal (europe again! without me!) my dad gonna spend christmas at taiwan. vanessa is overseas, ms low is gone and gone, ruth has left for cambodia, odac has left for aust. lol. maybe i should take this as a time to 闭门思过 (is there such a phrase?) and like sit down and wonder what are the things that need my attention and need me to do, and to mug for SATs. mann..i know the SATs are damn near. and i'm like how prepared for it.. i'm getting 79% which is HORRIblE. like.. throw me out the window =S
and just last week i was thinking about how to play this hols. how to spend my hols so that i feel that i've done all things interesting and i've spent my hols living. i think, i'll still be living. albeit in a different way. enjoyment in the lab is quite different from going out to play, skating, camping, cycling, watching the sky the trees the waters and the birds, watching movie, dancing, singing, shopping...and i told myself i'll play when SATs are over. but i realised i cant, cos thats when i drill for eoy perf. (and also if i only go dance then, i would be missing out on the christmas deals at studio wu lol) ugh SATs are sticky things. i should just mug and get it over and done with. but now. i'm telling myself, 3 things, mug, street and lab. ok so i should focus and concentrate now. (I cant believe i'm actually looking up the syllabus of advanced placement tests -_-) ugh yes focus.
ahhhh need to sort things out.. all the CIP projects' details and i need to plan a timetable..so that i can do enough practices and go for SATs feeling prepared =X oh my tian
....and gerald just told me "dun stress" today =X

你能体谅我有雨天
pw is finally over. a little late to report on this though. with my anxiety for it to finish, i'm quite surprised i only blogged about it today. i think our ORAL presentation was ok considering we only dry runned once and quickly went through that morning. but we din doll it up with anything else so dunno if the grp coordination part will suffer. but our project..also cannot really do anything. anyway dun think le. if i suddenly get inspiration i shall be quite sad. haha lincoln and yilin suddenly had inspiration that we could have done on food instead, then can give the assessors food to eat. anyway its over. so, good.
4 days of attachment at lifesc labs. quite interesting to see wat goes on in research labs. and lab sessions are not rare things that bring occasional fun now, u wan to walk into lab, its just next door. lol but quite weird. today i was preparing the agarose gel, then getting 90ml of TAE buffer, then got measuring cylinder no dropper. haha like i walk around the whole lab cannot find any dropper! like amazing..only have micropipettes no dropper. i'm sure i use micropipettes to add dropwise to the bottom meniscus. LOL i managed to find one in a bottle of sterile water, after using it, i was wondering how to wash..with sterile water? then the water not sterile anymore sia.. =S
today rained like bomb. it literally poured. and i just went to sc library to borrow some damn heavy big book, then it poured. i was like shoot how to get back to the labs. then managed to stay in shelter until i got to the bus stop opposite the labs. the bldg is on a hill like thingy, and its opposite the bus stop and it was pouring. so hugging the 2 big books i ran up..(ye wen i go for lunch in the afternoon i dun bring umbrella..X[) lousy lousy. wen i got up i looked like i just came back from a bath.. lol

my nose stucks
i think its the drastic change of temperature. The afternoons are freaking hot and the nights are freaking cold. and my bloody nose (yes its quite bloody now) cant stop getting blocked. and just yesterday i managed to clear it after singing for some 4, 5 hours. (oh i hope i din cause much damage to the ears of those within 20 metres up down left right..) and my throat gets horribly painflu when i sniff so hard =( so imagine the kind of noise my poor neighbours have to deal with. be thankful you are not my neighbour. and now it is horribly painful again. i have finished my 3rd bottle of family sized pi2 pa2 gao1 in the last 4 months. I think thats a world record and now i have no more for tomorrow cos my mum only goes to buy groceries on saturday. (yes i'm very loser and wun buy my needs myself) ugh.. with a stucked nose i doubt i'll be able to taste lincoln's delicious dinner tomorrow hahahaha.. it better go away. otherwise 白费 lincoln de 工夫 =p

weroiu bantrmslk zx
its been more than a week since i blogged. i used to blog much more. oh wells
i watched the last ep of goong today and skipped all the in betweens. i dun like the ending. so i shall not faithfully watch finish the entire series. it is making me very tired and it feels super draggy. it doesnt even feel like an ending to me. was very afraid that there would be no end to the story so i went to watch the last ep directly. i think this is the first time i watch movie/drama go directly to the end cos i was afraid i'd hate the ending. somehow i managed to persist through the other dramas even tho the middle looks quite hopelessly sad. thinks that the xiao lv super poor thing la, he's been suffering and in pain since the beginning right through to the end of the show. haii i was hoping something nicer would happen, turns out everything returned back to the beginning. so dumb aieesh
i wish for a holiday. i hate the feeling of jc life being a time to build up ur resume so u can get into some zai university. i wanna sit at home for these 2 months, go for a holiday far far away with my family, read more chinese books, nice novels, books on birds and wildlife, go on coral walks, work with kids, get the oven to work and make something nice, go kayaking, go skating... xian

i'm freaking myself out.
My internet explorer opens with 2 tabs. One is the SAT registration webpage, and one is the testakers course timetable. The course that i would have to attend to go for SATs on 2nd dec has alredi begun for 3 weeks. but if i sign up now, and they lemme in halfway, i would still have covered everything if i go for the extra help sessions. The registration deadline for the SAT test is 9 days away. meaning i must make my decision fast. the class will cost $1550 more expensive than jex. and if i dun go, i will definitely take longer than less than 1 month to prepare for the SAT. i am in some shit. and piano exam is in 6 days. ><

Chasing Cars
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Have said too much
But not enough
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
真的
我努力的仰着脸孔
试着眼泪不往下流
别往下流
不安的感觉到什么
在我生活中不再相同
很不相同
想要说
却还沉默
伸出手
无法触碰
天空突然一片辽阔
原来你是真的已经离开我
在我不熟悉的世界过新的生活
闭上眼让泪水滑落
此刻你已真的永远离开我
在另外一个没有我的世界
自由的走
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
and just forget the world?

new specs
haha for those who have been bugging me about my 圆圆 specs, i have finally changed it hahahaha. and ppl's response very funny. i think i must look really comical in my new specs. justina and ruth's first reaction was to laugh. ruth decided i came from outer space. my brother decided i look less like his sister and more geek. jiahui and haojin thot i looked ok and better than last time. me? i decided tt i can see better with my old specs and will have a lower tendency to fall down the stairs in my old specs. hahaha. and the new specs lens very small, and very far from my eyes. so like half my vision is gone lol. and i haf a feeling i look crosseyed in this HAHAHA
service 963 has been as irritating as ever. i had to let 4 buses go before managing to get on one. my brother says its cos i'm not as skinny as him. and he has no problem boarding the 2nd bus that comes along. and my mum very funny.. told both my dad and i to get breakfast. so tml i have a lot a lot of breakfast! lol and because i went to get breakfast and decided to walk back afterwards, i had to inhale that much more hazy air and let a 173 and another 963 pass me. wahhhhhh >=
and today we were looking at flies. small fruit flies. bad for a day with new specs that dun lemme see very clearly. haha so i switched back to my 圆圆 specs so that i can see the flies haha. today then i figured wat exactly were drosophila. i think all the flies u see around food are all drosophila. and they all haf red eyes. except mutants with white eyes and black eyes. and now my fingers smell of flynap haha. not difficult to guess wat that is. despite efforts to keep the flies alive..many were *accidentally* squished and squashed by my cor lorh fingers LOL
today was promo returning day. everyone does well at promos. so it seems like everyone didn't do that well anyway. haha like at CTs, my careless mistakes din seem to make that much of a difference. at promos, every 1 mark makes a lot a lot of difference LOL. aiya. wats done is done. find it a bit over when ppl overreact.. and like dun attend class so you dun get ur paper back cos u dun wanna know how much u got yet? wat's done is done la. its only the promos. no point getting so stressed over promo results.. heh and to all those who have already secured ur 4 As, many rounds of applause should be awarded to you. cos despite promo paper generally being easier than expected (well other than bio which was severely lacking in practice anyway) it is horribly difficult to get the 4th A for the contrasting subject (most being econs). so i have won the bet! haha. wonders if james and justina wans to change terms of bet. 4 As is really quite siao. but then again..RJ ppl are siao ppl ><

For a long time i wanted to blog. i'll go to the dashboard, click create new post and stare at the 2 white boxes staring back at me. xian
anyway promos are over, ca2 is over, open house is over, now its time for practical reports 2 and 3 to be due, time to prepare OP speech (ye i know i a lil slow on this), time to prepare class CIP and time to mug for grade 8 theory exam (ugh..). I hate doing practical reports cos its so tedious. but i like finishing it cos i realise, at the end of it, that i suddenly know wat i'm doing in my pracs. Still happy that we dun haf to do practical reports back in sec 4, when we did exactly the same practicals...
the last open house perf marked the 5th time i'm performing the p2K dance. i think i wun ever ever wanna hear tt song or do tt dance again. i am sooo sick of it. i wonder if dancers ever get sick of performing. and artistes in korea perform the same song so many times..dun they ever get tired of doing the same thing, hearing and singing the same song?..maybe it depends on the quality of the dance? i guess i wun mind perfing a difficult dance more.. things that look difficult and feels better with each time its done. i wonder if there's such a dance..like uhh moto?.. how do u teach people to 自由发挥 for dance? how do u do good freestyling without coping wholesale from past routines..i liked e last version of our open house perf. i think its good to haf variations everytime e same perf is performed. maybe minwoo is like me. dun like to do the same thing all e time, so vary e dance each time its perfed.
monday is promo returning day. i'm not particularly disturbed.. dunno why ppl always cannot slp e day before returning of papers. i always wanna know how well or how badly i did, whether i screwed up worse than i thot, or din do as well as i'd expected. but tts not e point. haha e point is tt i dreamt last nite tt i got my GP paper back. n my GP tutor was cheryl li (HAHA cheryl u reading this?) LOL ye and i got 96% for GP which is how impossible HAHAHAHA i rmb wondering if i read wrongly and its supposed to be 69% (which would haf been really good for me). oh wells i cant rmb how the GP paper was like. if i pass i am happy. i think wats more disturbing is tt monday is 2 practical reports due date..and even tho i've been telling myself to start on e report, i haf barely started. and at this time, not a single report is done. this means i am really quite screwed lol.
today i went ntuc wif my mum. met sau at the fruits section haha. we agreed that we were good girls helping our mums out. haha n somehow ntuc seemed to be filled wif china ppl today. i keep hearing scary chinese all over e place. (rmb how i felt china ppl spk chinese aggressively...) and thr was this woman making a big fuss over the cost of the starfruits or sth liddat. n even said sth abt working at ntuc before (i'm sure!) n knowing guidelines n asking for e manager. wat rubbish. haii they must learn to understand tt in singapore, scammers are hard to come by (unlike at some other place tt they are familiar with..) n in places like ntuc, giant, carrefour, scamming is not possible due to competition. was funny n irritating all at e same time.. tsk tsk
and in the midst of doing my practical reports. i'm wondering why is pUC 18 pronounced as PAK 18. POOK 18 sounds nicer. lol
i'm being horribly random today..

终于
That post was supposed to be posted last nite. but i was too lazy to go type chinese. that song.."One-TVXQ" or "爱失控-Energy" is a song that cant go wrong. Its just whether it sounds really that much special. oh well. copied things are never as special.
Anyway exams are finally over. and everyone seems to haf spent the rest of the day in a way more exciting than i haf haha. i saw so many classes and their class outings. why i din think of one for my class. oh wells. i enjoyed my mid day with dance. so it was enjoyable enough i guess. i think post exams are only as nice as you plan it. the more things you plan, the more exciting it is. so to those with sleepovers, parties, outings, camp, have fun. haf a lot of fun =) to those who are already at outdoor buffet, and to those who are going to go, remember to enjoy yourselves. and see the fun side of things. its going to make life so much better. and i shall find some way to entertain myself, and make myself feel less like a lump of lipids.
and for those wonderful souls who actually attempted to look for the oriole, click here for a close up! =)

哇…又在电视上听到Energy推销他们的新唱片。我想我听Energy翻唱韩语歌,听得累了。不知该说他们聪明吗,他们选的歌都是韩国歌手唱得很红,销售量很高,在本地又没什么听过的歌。而唱这些歌的团体,真的是很优秀的团体,歌是好听,但又能把那首歌唱得更出色。Energy翻唱过Shinhwa的Hey, come on,还有S 的I Swear,现在又以东方神起的One出新专辑。这样一来,让人们认为歌很好听,一定要买,却又不知道歌不是他们,或他们的公司写的。好听的歌,任何人唱都会好听。但我认为,Energy把出色的歌唱平凡了。那时Shinhwa刚来本地时,唱了他们的Hey Come On,被在场许多不认识神话的观众说他们“Copy Energy”,其实是相反的!我想东方神起有一天也会来新表演,到时又听到本地人说他们“Copy Energy”,又会让我再次为他们打抱不平 〉_〈 这只是我个人的看法,听听正版,在听翻版的,一定会有不一样。

STATE OF THE ART - SHINHWA
sorri i typed a whole chunk and they all disappeared
all of it..so i will retype it another day. now its time to slp ='( i'm sure delete away all my highness ugh
ok i'm back on 911 to blog abt this. before i lose most of my memory of it.
ruth says must "announce to the whole world that Shinhwa concert was damn BBBBOOOOMMMMMBBB" and they are super HOT! and their LIVE is really good. hyesung had his usual soothing and rich voice. but the sound seemed to be too heavy on the bass and couldnt really catch his falsettos and high notes. andy's rap bit couldnt really be heard also. and he seemed to forget steps every whr >= junjin was particularly memorable with his "say hohoho!" lol he has very nice live singing and rapping and his dance was also quite bomb. super power =)=) dongwan had his usual power vocals and eric had nice rap and funny hair as always =p
and minwoo was da best ^^. (lol ruth says i'm a minwoo convert now) He's how HOT and his LIVE was super good. sing and dance for 3 songs arh..damn HIGH sia.. he did battle then let me luv you and BUMP! seeing him real live is so much better than watching HD on computer. it was so amazing when u recover from the shock its OVER even though it was quite a long segment. Then his voice dun quiver even when he jumps like WAAHHHH.. live super power. and all his dance steps super sharp and big! his live is better and powerfuller than studio =D=D everyone super 超 high during his segment aieee.. 崇拜!so 神!
They did perfect man, hey come one, hero, i pray for you, shooting star, (wish they did eusha eusha!), chunilyohon, angel, winter story, wild eyes, (oh,no wedding..), brand new, once in a lifetime, your man, how do i say, oh!... powerness i dun think i rmbed everything though. and hyesung did a solo and minwoo did his solos too... and before i realsied, eric was like"...last song.."...so faaast.. and they got show a lot of mvs also like how do i say (non remixed vers which i havent seen before), minwoo's if you, throw my fist (which i found very amusing), angel, they played the coca cola song also hey dude! haha. and there was lots of fan service =D glad i caught them =) minjin = best!
Then we bought sitting $170 tickets cos we expected ppl to stand anyway and seats are stepped and elevated. but wen e high parts came and we wanted to stand up, ppl behind (or the 上了年龄 ppl behind) asked us to sit down... like i'm sure u pay 170 bucks and dun high and dun cheer larhz..show some support mah. ur idols in front there perfing for u, must cheer them on ><>_<>.<>"when i look in ur eyes, and i see that you...oh i give my love oh! when i hold you tight. give my love through kisses..." - so stuck on it..
and just for fun..i'm singing again! =)

a day well spent
i'm glad to say that i haf spent my last 24 hours in the most meaningful way ever! because i've only slept 4 hours in the whole 24 hours, that means for one day, i'm not a pig! first it was chem test, and after the chem test, i felt super liberated, and as though promos is over, haha, even though i barely passed it, I PASSED! haha which i think is achievement enough since i only spent 1 1/2 hours mugging any bit of chem for the past 7 days. and that 1 1/2 hours happen to be from 1am to 230 am this morning lol. anyway after chem we went for breakfast at macs! where i stuffed myself wif mcspicy! i'm happy to say tt spicy foods are a regular in my diet now! hehe after that went to expo, for the inline skating event. quite xian at first. but after a while of stoning (which i always must do for a while), we started skating! which was good because i'm moving. and not like rotting in front of the comp again. but it was bad.. cos uhh he was kinda upset tt quite a few times thr were positions unfilled and ppl cut across the track. highly dangerous >< and there were rowdy kids around. one fell and uhh, there was a lot of blood from the mouth, i think the lip was bleeding badly. but oh well, kids pick themselves up, like they always do. anyway it was the first time i skated on wheels and i must say its quite enjoyable, like skating on ice. but its still different from the ice. i think..ppl should start learning on ice first, then learn on wheels. the technique will be better that way..i feel la, i dunno. and within today, i've figured out going forward, turning around, and going backward! so i feel good =) must celebrate achievements haha. and expo is a good place. theres book fair and food fair. i wasnt really interested in the books (contrary to common belief) haha i was interested in the food (oh the piggy part comes here) haha so me and my good fren justina went eating all the foods around and we tried the oyster meesua and i had my first try of the spicy stinky toufus (they really smell of pee and taste kinda salty, wonder why ppl like it) and most wonderfully, ginko nut orh3 ni2 (yam paste) which was absolutely wonderful because the last time i had (wonderfully tasty) yam was..too long ago for me to remember. haha so wif a nice skating experience, and a nice eating experience indeed this is a holiDAY spent like a day in the holidays should be spent haha. this holiday quite funky, haha going for high tea, and have been watching movies, tv, drama, and going to watch concert wahh..so exciting!!! =D=D

BLOW!
haha for some reason jiahui chanced upon my blog at 2.40.58 am on tuesday morning/monday night, and decided that my blog sounds super depressing and stressed out lol. do i really sound that way? haha in any case if i am stressed, it probably isnt cos i haf a lot of work to do. workload now is quite nice =) just nice to occupy me. as for my morbid dreams..its cos of the influenza book larhz ..
blogs are for ppl to blow ma..i mean who really sounds mentally sane on the blog..actually i think i more sane on the blog then i am in real life le haha blog is for ppl to chu1 qi4 one ma, at least for me it is. so if ppl like to read abt my blowing ups, then can read my blog! =p
dunno why recently suddenly remember about baby times. maybe its cos on sunday went my grampa house then played around wif my baby cousin dada =p he very cute! =) like his parents hahaha. then somehow i remembered how when i was 5 or 6 i would take a small teaspoon and slice of apple, and start kao1-ing (scraping) the apple to feed myself, so i can remember how its like when my mum fed me when i was a baby haha. and for some reason even now, i still wanna try eating that baby food that comes in a bottle wif a smiling baby's face on the sticker on the bottle. haha i remember my mum feeding that to me but dun remember how it tastes like liao. so somehow wants to try it again. then i told my mum about that once when i went to ntuc with her. and she said, "huh? why u wanna eat that again? that one is wat i fed u wif wen i was lazy to cook for u. when u were a baby, u ate until u dun wan any more of it!" haha!
somehow been dreaming that shinhwa concert's on tuesday, ie today. i dunno why.. then i dream of ruth telling me that its 3 more hours to shinhwa concert! lol

dead ppl dream - read at ur own risk
a convo wif benny...
...sunken eyes says:
i got another weird dream
chanel - paris-new york collection says:
tell me about it lols
...sunken eyes says:
this time its to do wif dead ppl
chanel - paris-new york collection says:
lols.
...sunken eyes says:
need to dig up ppl who haf been dead for many centuries
chanel - paris-new york collection says:
from dead chicken to dead people, what next?
...sunken eyes says:
so go to burial site
chanel - paris-new york collection says:
uh huh.. then?
...sunken eyes says:
then very systematic removed a block of soil,
...sunken eyes says:
such that just nice we saw the body
chanel - paris-new york collection says:
haha.
...sunken eyes says:
the body rotted away, left oni the skeleton
...sunken eyes says:
but still got eyeballs
chanel - paris-new york collection says:
lols.
...sunken eyes says:
and the eyeballs very big..stare at me
...sunken eyes says:
then i thot the thing is dead
...sunken eyes says:
but then it 'woke up'
...sunken eyes says:
and i was supposed to get some form of tissue from it
chanel - paris-new york collection says:
haha
...sunken eyes says:
(dunno why a bit of meat started growing back and got random bits of meat on the skeleton liao)
...sunken eyes says:
but then the skeleton retaliated and dun let me take the tissue
chanel - paris-new york collection says:
haha.
...sunken eyes says:
and it started grabbing me and fighting wif me..>< ...sunken eyes says: then i told ppl around me to go get those zi4 sha1 type of medicine/injection...sunken eyes says:
turned out this was some jelly tt needed to be swallowed.
...sunken eyes says:
then i couldnt xia4 shou3 on the skeleton like thing
...sunken eyes says:
cos i thot it was very evil to kill things..its like murder
...sunken eyes says:
in the end i still fed it the jelly in some way la..i cant rmb how..
chanel - paris-new york collection says:
haha
...sunken eyes says:
it oni had teeth cant really block thej elly from entering
chanel - paris-new york collection says:
hoho
...sunken eyes says:
so it became motionless again
...sunken eyes says:
and we dumped it back into the hole
...sunken eyes says:
and put back that block of soil
...sunken eyes says:
but we still heard rumbling...
...sunken eyes says:
then i cannot rmb le
chanel - paris-new york collection says:
*laughs*
...sunken eyes says:
amazingly.. i dun rmb feeling scared or like mao4 leng3 han4 wen i was dreaming abt tt
i think tt dream must have been because of my infatuation with influenza. i was reading FLU by Gina Kolata, then they really wanted to find the 1918 flu virus that killed 40 million ppl and stopped WWI. then many bunches of ppl went to dig up ppl who had been buried in permafrost. and retrieved lung tissue from them to search for the virus. then there was one grp that led super huge grp and had all the preparations like preventing virus escape, having high tech things that analyse tissue on the spot, praying for the deceased ppl. in the end the ppl werent buried deep enough to be in the permafrost, and those ppl had like oni brain tissue and random tissues left. scary science
...sunken eyes says:
i got another weird dream

*laughs*
amazingly.. i dun rmb feeling scared or like mao4 leng3 han4 wen i was dreaming abt tt
i think tt dream must have been because of my infatuation with influenza. i was reading FLU by Gina Kolata, then they really wanted to find the 1918 flu virus that killed 40 million ppl and stopped WWI. then many bunches of ppl went to dig up ppl who had been buried in permafrost. and retrieved lung tissue from them to search for the virus. then there was one grp that led super huge grp and had all the preparations like preventing virus escape, having high tech things that analyse tissue on the spot, praying for the deceased ppl. in the end the ppl werent buried deep enough to be in the permafrost, and those ppl had like oni brain tissue and random tissues left. scary science

lecturers
good questions are questions that show understanding and seek further knowledge.
good lecturers are those that makes students understand quickly (almost immediately) such that students are able to come up wif good qns on their own. good students ask good questions. good lecturers need not think of good questions for students. good lecturers dun provide answers to the good questions that they pose.
semi good lecturers are those that may not teach tt well, but students still understands partially and know wat kind of qns to ask to seek accurate and complete knowledge.
unfortunately many lecturers out there are not good lecturers. bad lecturers are those who don't teach well, where students hardly understand, and do not know wat qns to ask to understand wat is taught.
lecturers should be screened for their teaching capabilities before being allowed into the profession. and even experienced lecturers should be screened. and this screening should be done regularly, even after being allowed into the profession, observations should still be carried out to ensure the lecturer is still of good quality. sometimes quality decreases with age

Re: oof kaypohs again
yea..whatever i take up i will definitely see it through.. i just get upset when i haf to drop it halfway. (i can't believe i haf problem dropping pharm chem Xl) anyway i was bugging u for open house plans also cos i wanted to know if it was possible for me to go for assoc ex. but now its impossible liao so may as well be occupied and wun xian. but must give ppl chance.. (eek i must keep reminding myself tt..) anyway.. ppl speculating abt wats gg to happen for open house also.. and i was wondering if everyone knows tt there is no more publicity. (this is wat i mean by news in street is spread by whispers from 1 person to another and not formally announced) so maybe wanna let them haf a peek? and i was wondering if any grp doing their steps revision or thinking of outfit le.. cos if change grp then will need to rethink. has everyone been informed of the change of grps?
btw i got no more orlingjoo..haha i mistook carrot juice for orange. and i cant believe that i couldnt tell there was a difference in taste when i first drank it. i finished like 3/4 mug of it, even though i used to be unable to take carrot juice. haha i thot to myself tt yay my mum found orange juice without the pulp. hahaha. then the 2nd time i went to get the juice, i realised it had carrots on the carton... LOL

oof kaypohs again
okkk i know im not supposed to be here so soon after my last post. ahahaha. BUT! i am. heh.
Sorry for blowing yesterday. Was pretty amazed by how I blew up. Haven't done that for some time >< I think the pent up frustration about that toot thing and a few other things finally needed an outlet to bamm. Kinda disappointed in myself for being misunderstood by so many people. And also for not being able to help them. Oh well. It'll pass.
I get wat u mean in ur post (peers below). Seriously, 拿得起就要懂得放下. I know I've told u before that once committing to stuff, we shouldn't complain abt the sacrfices and hard work right? Cuz we made those choices. U'll definitely enjoy and no doubt, gain, from those research-on-i-dunno-what-chim-thingies programmes u have at the end of the year.
Dun worry abt street, I won't put u in charge of upcoming stuff so u wun hafta stress over that too. 不要催我 abt Open hse le hor :p , I hafta make extra arrangements for the time when I'm gonna be gone. I may be gone even longer than expected- haf cip camp that week too. Good chance for streeters to grow ba.
Must learn to trust other pple's abilities more k? U'll never know till u've seen them try. Dun worry I won't be back here anytimeee sooon.
Drink more orling joo!
