euphoric moments!
had a blastttt these few days.

it was teacher's day celebration on friday, the last official day of term3(: quite a nice way to end the term.

firstly we had this huge junk feast, but it was too huge we could not swallow everything. so sorry to those who had leftovers.. well we only had partying time of only 30 minutes because we had to get ready for our performance (quite pathetic,yeah) but i think we really cherished that half an hour. rosanne and shan presented their ppt when wanglaoshi stepped in, and it cracked quite a lot of people up, haha. and then, yunge beishi jessie tee and xinyi presented a very touching poem to wanglaoshi, and it made her cry. haha its really amusing to see her cry; its only the SECOND time. we shall have a mass making-wls-cry session at the end of the year, haha.

oh and then we had to clean up in a really short time, but we failed (as usual) so we decided to head to the hall straightaway instead. there we gave out the last instructions and then sat in order at the sides of the hall. the performance didnt start immediately, but when it was really sudden before we went up, because most of us didnt grab that chance to hyperventilate before walking upstage. it was like, a moment ago we were sitting down and the next we were walking so i was kind of BLURR.

anyhow, really had a great time onstage, singing. not with choir but 205(: i guess this would be like one the last few times when we can do stuff together before separating.. we hadnt accomplished much this year.. so being able to get in for this performance really gave me a sense of accomplishment(: (at first i didnt expect us to even get into the first round, haha!) after days of struggling and screaming and singing and teaching and laughing and frowning and panicking (joyce you would know), we finally made it. haha even though we might not have sung that well yesterday (i dont really know cos i CANT hear anything!).. i think all of us really tried our best, and thats enough already.(: thank you all so much for everything! without you guys we wouldnt have made it! i feel so proud of you all(:
i love you guys!<3

then all of us went to the 3rd level to watch the concert. it was good, especially the teacher's day award one. mr chia really has a flair for being an entertainer, haha. the whole celebration ended at 1045+, waited for jolene while shannon junqi and jianing dashed to chongfu and i was cleaning up the classroom.

then jolene and i went to amk hub for lunch and then rushed to jurong east to....

fuji i dont know what!

omg i feel so embarrassed now, someone enlighten me on what the ice skating rink is called><
heh? hahaha. it was SUPER DUPER FUNNN.

it was really really REALLY REALLY x1000000 cool. the first time i experienced GLIDING on ice. hahaha jianing too but since she knows how to rollerblade she was okay. and junqi learnt how to skate so much faster than me, so im really noob. i cant count how many times my butt silently shrieked when i smashed my poor butt on the ground, or screamed my lungs out when i lost balance, falling usually backwards. and omg i cant forget shannon and jolene screaming, "LEAN FORWARD LEAN FORWARD! DONT LEAN BACKWARD!" like omg it was so hilarious, i think i saw people pointing and mocking at me. heh? i really didnt dare to let go of those bars the first time i stepped onto the heavenly glimmering ice, but gradually did with shannon's jolene's jianing's and junqi's guide and "skated". sorry if my skating really seemed like walking, BUT I JUST COULDNT GET IT OKAY. i was super duperrrrrrrrrr frustrated with myself. but when i improved a tiny bit i was happy(:

"eh she can get up vry fast leh!"

i cant remember who said this but i think i really have a flair for geting up after falling, maybe because i fell TOO many times, haha. really should have taken pictures of that memorable 2 hours or so, but couldnt because i would have died. (oh and btw pictures on jianing's blog!) hahaha but anyway REALLY had great great greattttttttt fun. after what seemed like so long.

its the first time out of these few weeks when i really had fun.. being with great company and doing fun stuff really keeps my mind off worries and whatnots, so thank you guys for giving me such a worry-free and happy day!<3

OH AND I DONT GROPE PEOPLE/MOLEST PEOPLE when im "skating" okay!!! its just for.. er support? xD hahahaha. i dont. even though sometimes my accuracy is so good i just er grope some people's wrong.. you know. yeah. (: heeee.

SOOO sadly, we had to leave the rink at 4. we feasted on cup noodles before leaving, and before i stared at the rink sadly and waving goodbye to it with that 依依不舍feeling. ): ( no i didnt literally do that!)

and the next stop was.. NEOPRINTS + ARCADE!

that 10 minutes of groping and laughing and :O:O-ing was really indescribable. hahaha. then while jianing junqi and i decoratd the neos jolene and shannon went to play at the arcade. when we finishd, junqi jianing and i played the drums game. it was SO COOL. it was quite meaningless hitting some weird drumlike plastic plus rubber thing so hard but it was really retarded cos most of the time we drummed so unprofessionally, haha! then we challenged basketball with jolene and shannon. omg 3 against 2, and we shouldnt have been so 不自量力bcause we got TRASHED with a score of 38 - 250. LOL. wanted to play some ducky game but couldnt in the end.

went back to the neos shop again but hesitated awhile because we needed finance. so we roamed around and sat down in macs. jianing and junqi went to roam around somemore so shannon jolene and i talked while drinking. after a while shannon left, and the 4 of us went to feast on cheese fries. MY FAV.:D then left with jolene cos i needed to go home for dinner):

had a really really great day yesterday! moments like these are just plain wonderful(: sorry jer and cass & 601 for not being able to make it today..>< really hope to meet you guys up sooonn!

oh and sop2s we should really go to iceskate in the holidays(: guaranteed fun!

today had tuition then met my family at convention center for some pc show thing. on the way there experienced one of the few singaporean human traffic jams;
my maid and i were squashed from the mrt all the way to suntec city itself. on the way we had to walk down some staircase.

me: aiyo can walk here meh!(we were walking through the crowd going the opp direction)
maid: aiya dont care la nevermind la!
-walks in the crowd flowing against us-
some man: aiyo! why squeeze here! so squeezy already you know! walk the othre way la!

i was like LOL laughing and :$. strange encounter, heh?

anyway,there was nothing much that impressed in me in that exhibition thing.

the holidays will be hectic again, i guess. cant wait for monday!

ah kinda miss choir.. leting loyee wenjing.. feel kinda empty without you guys. ):

Sunday, August 24, 2008 @ 5:04 PM
out of breath?
today so far has been quite an accomplishment. managed to finish work, a rare sight:D hahaha. still have LA speech and that olympics write up to go and im free!

anyway, has my style of writing really changed? maybe it could be because of the emptiness i was feeling yesterday. caused by the coffee! but one thing i realised was that my previous post was kind of detached, like too many things gushing in at one time. thats what happens when one doesnt update for a long long time, haha(:

xxx

like always, i dont know what tomorrow will bring. next week will be the last week of term 3.. and when term 4 starts it marks the beginning of revision already. 2008 is coming to an end, like how 2007 flew past so quickly i didnt seize the chance to remember all the events, whether significant or insignificant, because they all mark a difference(:

hopefully this year will end well, or rather this term will end well.

alot happened this term.. and really i learnt a lot, the most important learning point being the discovery of humour here and there in the malaises of school life, and just plainly life. life doesnt revolve around that particular thing youre worrying about, or that particular event that youre going through. theres much more to life, and i guess it's only right that we just open our eyes and hearts to step out of the boundary we are always in and.. experience a whole new different thing.

then, we'll realise that life isnt that bad after all.

its realy ironic, the way i see things. sometimes i overlook this fact but at other times i cant thank God enough for giving me this opportunity to be me(:

live to love, and love to live.

echo.
hello,



today was brilliant. spent the afternoon watching "it started with a kiss" with shannon and jolene. cant remember when was the last time since i spent time watching serials/dramas(: yay fun! we shall have more of this in future.


my blog's kinda dead now.. haha must have been my inconsistent updating.


this week we're kinda loaded with homework, but at least i finished my overdue ones(: nevermind, shall take a step at a time.

i think i stopped updating since last week. well i shall post stuff that i can remember! i think it was last week when we(lit circle grp) decided to go to jolene's house for project meeting. hahaha spent quite alot of time on admin stuff.. so in the end we had another meeting in junqi's house on saturday, and after a few touch-ups we finally COMPLETED the project on monday!!:D so its like a load off our minds.

the project meeting at junqi's house was quite satisfying. we finished our toy car and lit circle there(: then we feasted on KFC in front of the tv. really fun!

hmm, and then oh yes. i finally took my piano exam. it was supposedly last week but i missed it cos i was late and luckily i was rescheduled to wednesday. it was really stupid because i thought it was on tuesday and kept thinking that i would miss school on that day but oh my goodness its one day after. -.-!

so missed school on tuesday.. and after the exam on wednesday i went to school at 2, and shannon and jolene came over to do CME. so we happily took the bus home and even bought snacks. so by the time we finished eating and were still chatting, it was five. then suddenly my tuition teacher came and i was like. :O:O i totally forgot that i had tuition, haha. so i had to make them wait and do the cme reflections><>
yeah, and we started watching the beginning of 恶作剧之吻:D it was really, really good. then they went home..
and on thursday we went for the 学习之旅 to watch some chinese movie thing. it was quite good but i almost fell asleep. heh? after that a big group of us went to kachiow bugis. mos burger rather. i think only 5 people bought food because the rest of us had to file for bankruptcy so we all koped food from the others:D hahaha. funfunfun.
i wonder whether such gatherings would be possible after 205 disbands..
hmm. yesterday was the rehearsal for our teacher's day performance. it went superbly well, everyone was cooperating and really, thanks everyone:D
there some changes made to our positions since the teachers claimed that we were too 2d. LOL. hopefully everything will go well on that day.. our second performance together as a class!:D
ah i just remembered that another teacher's day rehearsal will be this tuesday, and i have to miss the last choir prac): sad. i think life would be emptier without prac, which goes on for a month.. sighs. anyway, congrats to 2008/09 comm!(:
oh and here are some really random photos taken during the past weeks..
some retarded, haha!





haha i think this post sucks, lost touch with blogging already.
shall go do other stuffs now!

zero.
hey,

it has been a very tiresome week. shall not elaborate, because i dont feel like it.

finally completed LA lit circle, all the recordings and such with an efficient time of an hour. love LA team<3 and for the daunting physics project.. we've finally completed the toy car, left with the report.

the weekend has been quite a big shock;

i wish this was a nightmare, nothing else.

hello people(:

yay finally i finished posting all the pictures(: i guess they're about all.

for now, let the pictures do the talking(:

this week had been a very very good one. started off with nycb's concert at the esplanade on monday, which was so awesome(: spent the time after school and before concert with shannon jolene and jianing! first outing (so-called) with em:D was really cool, we rushed to er grand cathay first to watch movie (x-files). it was supposed to be scary but it wasnt scary so it kinda failed, haha. luckily jianing didnt grope and invade my personal territory, haha. then we went to B&J which was freaking ex that we only shared one cup, and to plaza sing to get the band members' presents. got junqi this really cute TOUTOU i mean TOUFU (: and beishi and jessiet cool flowers(: yaye. rushed for dinner in long john silvers and finally headed towards our destination. there was this really hilarious conversation on the way:
jianing: are you sure its at city hall or not?
*everyone rushes to check signboard*
jolene+shannon: ya la correct la its here
*everyone rushes front*
shannon:eh! i know how to go there already. see the board there! esplanade!
me: huh where?
*looks around, thinking where in the world durianages would be*
*Finally looked up and saw "esplanade" with a forward arrow*
me: OH, i know how to go already:D
only jolene ong noticed my stupidity so she couldnt stop laughing at me and i was like =.="
so we reached esplanade earlier than expected and camwhored(: go to jianing's blog to see the photos. and the concert started with a beautiful beginning and ended with a wonderful encore. loved the disney one, brought back many disney wonders:D didnt manage to give junqi them the presents cos parents were hungry.. so yeah. (:
tuesday morning was a big surprise, everyone in class was sleeping, literally everyone. didnt see 2/5 that quiet before, haha. tuesday was quite a slack day, then there was choir, and omg the campaigns. i dont know how i fared but things just flowed out of my mouth uncontrollably.. even if i dont get it, nyc will still be the love<3
wednesday.. nothing much happened i guess, it was just a normal school day. assembly was all about subject combos.. and is it that hard to make a decision?
thursday was great(: shanping jolene shannon junqi came over for LA. it was productive for a while, and unproductive the next moment. it was kinda on and off.. but compared to the last few project meetings at least it was a great heap of improvement. sky shouldnt pose as such a huge.. distraction, haha. nevermind we're on our way to the end of the ppt already!:D
friday which was yesterday.. the holding hands programme thing. it turned out to be in quite a mess.. although it really hyped all of us up. holding hands but didnt say the pledge.. such a big big disappointment, standing out there under the sun for i dont know how long. haha, even mr tiong said "why am i here for?" and we asked him the same question. typical mr tiong(: after the whole event, we (jianing shannon jolene shanping junqi celeste and i) rushed to cineleisure to watch money no enough II. ohoh, we had a special guest - shalynn(shannon's sister). shes really really cute(: anyway, it turned out there wasnt any seats left for the 145 or so slot so we got the 215 one. rushed lunch and then watched the movie for around 2hours. it wasnt as nice as the other jack neo films i must admit, but it was okay. haha, then we took the mrt and shannon shanping shalynn and celeste came over to finish the ppt. jolene and junqi couldnt come, so we parted in the mrt): then at night i left my own house at around 8 while they left later, haha? sorry><>
and finally today, woke up for tuition then piano. slept through half the afternoon then chionged zuowen.
oh and not to miss out.. happy national day, and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMANDATAN!
you silly person.. its rare to find a friend (or a senior) who enjoys the glory of being older with singapore. hope you had a great day today! (you must still be partying outside, heh) thanks for everything.. from the moment i stepped into choir till now. you're just like a guardian angel to me, who so cleverly guides me along with proper singing technics and stuff. omg your funny little antics eg. walking on people's left and putting your ARM on their shoulders.. haha. it has been really great being your junior and friend, if you wanna see it that way(: both of the amandas shall strive to sleep early okay!:D i love you many many<3
and once again, happy birthday! may all your dreams come true. God bless you!

oh yes i think we took a lot of spastic photos this week. shall post them up.. soon.(:
