Huang hun, hitamari smthg. haha and it was so confusing. they juz gave me new score n had to sight read.. kinda disasterous cuz of the timing lol, back to Bethena again... Then we had to go n change... all of a sudden after i came out from the toilet it was like everyone disappeared..! Left a few ppl tt went for dinner, expected lots more lor... By then the guys were more or less ready minus the tie.. it wasnt until i went to the toilet again tt i found out where the whole world was..! haha. Some guys were still busy gelling their hair n tying tt tie... The gals made lots of noise in their toilet then can hear v clearly lo... All of them looked abit wierd, maybe not used to seeing them in makeup. They complain saying smthg ike not even lah, too much.. wadeva. I dont get it. Still, all ended up very pretty n yandao on this day. The worst part is tt 2 gals came at different times to me and asked if i wore makeup too!! wah! dots lor!! van say look as if i got abit of lipstick too!.. shou bu liao. Rush rush rush, no one knew what to do then relax n play again till 7 then chiong to backstage. b4 i knew it we had to go on stage le... Then the lights best. So bright! The audience was all juz pitch black to me. blinded by the light. Frankie said some stupid thgs... didnt actually think he wld but haha! thanks for all ur support =D Come again next yr!! it'll be even better :D Oh... and did u see 1 guy running to put the stand on the stage?? that was mE.. haha. so wu liao ask me to do these thgs. Run back to holding rm only to find out tt everyone was in the audi watching the concert...

I belong, to Catholic High School... It feels good going back to my alma mater and see how it is doing. There is a new track, upgraded audi, bigger music rm(not like e pathetic one i used to study in), easier way to access rd the sch.. etc etc. I simply love it. No matter how to sch building may change but my love for it will nv change. Whats inside that matters most right? The feeling is just indescribable as u see the sec. boys running abt the sch. U feel so close to them, so related, like brothers... u know?... yea.And today i was the only CLT ard for training and only the sec1s were there. The rest were either gone for their flight exp or selling flags. Sian lor for most of the time. Rotting in the store cuz my presense was not needed. Finally sprang into action during drills n had a short chat session with them. I feel like a parent guiding them like tt. I get this sense of achievement as i see them dvpt juz like last yr when i was the sec1s IC. ah... Ncc rox! Oh.. and there is a Cat high music concert(band, choir n CO) at the Esplanade on the 1st of Aug i think. 2-3 pm ard there. Anyone interested contact me =). Gong jiao 4eva!! The Guitar Exco has finally been announced! Im the Ensemble Coordinator, i mean, who else can be right? lol. sorry... p is bernice, vp-vanessa, secetary-katie, QM-victor and kent, and my junior is jessica(or is it Jessie?).SLs- chinglee, zq, ya li... ah... how nice!! I know most of the exco ppl, minus the p. vaguely remember her. At least the rest i know them as friends, not juz acquaintances. Going to hv a jolly gd time for 2 yrs =D. A team i wont kind wking with n hope to know them even better. My fortune to know u all =). Cant wait for us to take over,looking forward to the day... More space for us to practice lor! lol. And wonder when Daniel(previous pres) is going to get our strings..? Mine is on the verge of breaking cuz of over usage. Long overdue le...! SoOo many gp articles to do! ard 49.. siao. spent 2 hrs collecting 20 onli. didnt even highlight anythg yet... And i wld hv died of boredom if not for the perfect 10~ They kept me awake with wonderful music all night long even now.. yes! they rock big time!!

Ugh~ juz drank a mouthful of rotten n expired milk... yucks!! It was totally horrible... v.v. sour and it somehow reminded me of grass and the colour green.. dots right? haha. i oso dunno why. Maybe i feel like a cow =p. Today was also bad. Come to think of it, the whole week wasnt tt great either, Friday doesn't bring abt any good news anymore cuz the weekends are going to be packed with cramming the GP articles. To this day since the start of june hols, i have done.....O! a big fat 'O', none, nil, naught. Today Mr Tham was like kinda fierce n frustrated abt our GPFs, luckily i wasnt there at the briefing, think he would hv bitten my head off, my group's work was not quite up to his standard. But we had put in alot of effort k? Feeling abit depressed that our work was not that all appreciated and dreading the weekend cuz tt means we hv to do more PW! argh, getting a phobia. haha Minutes esp. hv to become a scriptwriter sia. Wonder how ew and kangli did for the table-tennis today... hoped they bought my lame excuse of 'not feeling well'. Guess i just needed to relieve some of my committments to free myself up abit. Come to think of it, Zhi kai, Eu Gene and Frankie are still in sch cuz they didnt finish their maths ques. tho' it was only ques 7 left, they were told to stay back. Found out tt Mr Tham is biased, the girls were let off. Still he was too strict. 730! my gosh, stuck in sch cuz they didnt complete their tut. too much. Wonder what has gotten into him today. For all his great works, everyone is human afterall n is flawed. Hopes he remembers to return us the money tmr.. it will be so awkward approaching him n asking him for money, like a
loanshark like tt.. "hey! where my money?" lol. The fact is tt i hv to return it to ppl and not keep for myself. Last but not least i want to say Happy Birthday to Xiulu! yupx. =)

The day started with a prayerful meeting with the 5 of us. Gary started this prayer group to come tgt in a short bible session every Wednesday. It was meaningful as i feel closer to him everytime.. so any christians or non-christians interested can contact me ;)... Anyhow, the day took a 180 deg. turn. Looking at the comments the teachers gave me, i felt severly wronged and misunderstood esp for some subjects. Never had i recieved such bad remarks, they dont know us well enough to judge us like that... Perhaps its the reality of JC life.. Hardwork doesn't pay off.. only VERY hardwork does... did they take into account the time i spent away at camp? no... but who cares? It matters no more. I hv lots to catch up, v.v.far away from getting anywhere. The need to change the way i live is imminent, priorities set right to prevent a catastrophe... Don't follow me. Biting off more than i can chew. That has always been an obstacle i have to overcome every year. Sigh.. after school today went to play badminton with enwei! haha. We tried to practise smashing today but i fail quite miserably.. sorry Terence! I'll promise to work harder... and was quite a shi bai as i could not recieve most of his drop shots... ah.. was quite envious of the school team ppl, they play with an elegance and style tt i would nv know. Even guitar today was not tt enoyable. It was not tt difficult a piece, but somehow nothing clicked in my brain and wanted to scold myself for such lousy sight-reading but my teacher was sOoo patient and v encouraging throughout the piece. thanks!! Guitar rox.=D. Signed up for the grade 6 exam and for once i doubted my ability to pass this exam.. One day in November

Thanks all!! The party was a success, the food amount was just right and its was fantastic,the setting was v.nice, a nice and cosy place to be in. And thanks for juz being there =D. The teachers looked quite satisfied with everything n comfortable.. thats the most impt of all i think.. its all abt them anyway. Too bad some of them cldn't make it there they didnt know what they missed.. haha. It was also a great excuse for our class to get together n bond more.. yay. Who needs a class outing? Think we have more parties like this in future wld be better.. lol. j/k. Discovered the other sides of teachers also, they were more open and relaxed. Ms Lee isn't that super 'English' freak with revolutionary ideas n all. Think she is also quite a thinker, caught her stoning.. but i actually think she is poundering abt stuffs. lol. How i can relate, and r so human after all. Ms Tengera isn't the conductor tt tt Abish(Mr A) said, lol. She was the VP of the guitar club okay.. One day must go n qie4 her with guitar =). And was my small performance a success>? Ms Lee said she liked it =) and hoped the class was satisfied with it.. It is a beautiful romantic song and one day must play it with more feelings and move people with it.. i kinda lacked expression and it wasnt until the repeat that i got warmed up.. There was this sudden rush of blood and warmth ard my body and felt hot despite the air con blowing at me(which usually affects my performance) and got a grasp of the music. The usual slips and the quick cover ups =p anyone noticed? wadeva... One step closer to my dream
