pass on the bubbly, mate.

haha, thats just random.
i finally changed my link -.-
didnt plan on changing it, until i read the newspaper today. somewhere in the business section or something. bubbly is the informal word for champagne! cool huh (:

after playing the guitar, i think my fingers are starting to grow a new protective layer of skin on my fingertips. haha, it really is sore ._.
i havent read island voices or bo li jian yet, darrrrrrrn.
im too lazy to do anything, 'cause i'm working on my very super duper classified secret project. yes, you heard it! heh heh :D

byebye :D

farewell...



ahband family ♥



table i sat at with naixin, samantha, jaime, huining, liying, the valeries(lower winds and flutes), rachel & the basson girl. sorry, i forgot her name-.- table was decorated with pine cones and candles. haha.


my dinner. hahaha, naixin's one so much more lor. hmm, i took a pic of it, but i dont know where it go to liao =.=



ahclarinets♥


me and gwen :D

the cake was awesome. except for the grapes. it was meant for decorating the cake. then odelia gave me the grapes to eat. they looked harmless, but looks deceive siah. they tasted super super sour and super super duper like oil D: i was on the verge of vomiting and samantha just kept laughing at me ._.

so...
had clarinet. ms leong came late, so we started not-on-time. ended at 5 and quickly wore the skirt and rushed out of the house. ran all the way to mrt station in my flats. almost everybody there. after awhile, boarded bus and then reached sia club.
in sia club, xinjie and jj quickly did everything they had to do for the farewell cards for odelia jingyi and xinmeng. xinjie gave us those cards she always gives us on an important event! :D

got seated in the function room. weileng sabo-ed me to become one of the candle person. li ying's flame died so she tilted her candle towards mine to get a new flame. & then wax poured from her candle onto my hands and i was screaming like shit-.- but actually, quite shuang la. it moulded into my hands. haha.

sec three indian dance and the gerald video commenced :) haha, ronald looked scary as the magician. for some reason he reminded me of..a hello kitty. o.o oh we also sang farewell song, haha.
then had dinner. then sec 4's speech. vanchia said she thought eunice was a lesbian. haha. after speech, had section talk. odelia also bought us presents. she gave us all fancy pencils. she gave me the MOST TALENTED pencil. -.- then she also gave sec ones a book with a pic inside.
after eating the cake, jj's dad ferried naixin, samantha, me, xinjie (and of course jj) to the nearest mrt stationg-- simei. mrt-ed to tanah merah with xinjie. then we walked through the secret pathway. it was super creepy cause it was already 11 smth. i kept close to xinjie of course. then we saw some light then i was a bit relieved but suddenly i saw this person on the ground. then i freaked out. haha. dont know what the person was doing, he just stooping there, like shitting like that-.-

then, arrived home :D





pubtions bbq on sunday, the day before farewell.
so sad, xinjie didnt show and she made me pay the 5 dollars for her-.- but she was sick. the food was great, the chicken wings were actually cooked. charisse made me jason and sapphire go buy chocolate so that we could melt it to eat with the roasted marshmallows. it was a super duper long walk. we were at pit d and the provision shop was all the way...at pit c near b i think. i got my blister from that journey. on the way, we just kept telling each other sick jokes and cold jokes. haha.
we eventually bought chocolate and then we went back and ate marshmallows.

--

yesterday went to ion orchard with mummy. we bought losta chocolate from there, buy 3 get 1 free ma. haha.

the toilet had this really nice light at the corner.



-.- thats all. byebye!

immersed.

i'll try.
i'll try so very hard.
to not keep thinking,
to not keep day-dreaming,
to not watch,
to stop hoping.

i'm such an idiot, a stupid one.
to have immature and useless excessive thoughts, im so pathetic.
you, being so out of my reach from me.
to be preoccupied by my wishful thinking, my childish fantasies...
just face reality and stop hiding from it.

"since i'm doing something i like, why not be good at it and become famous for it?"


Nov 19, 2009
hah.

2K 2010.
:D hope its not gonna get screwed up like this year,
oh man how i hated it so badly.

karyee, yingxuan and elise same class as me!!! AND ISABELLLLEEE YOU ADORABLE THING! :D & stephanie.
sapphire and kiayee in 2D.

i seriously dislike how they arranged us.
by hcl and cl, so biase ._.
or maybe my chinese just really sucks, well, no doubt about that.

cheers, to a non-emo, crazy, interesting life to all you sec twos! :D

&& for those who are not happy,
CHEER UP! ><
the whole's not over, look on the brighter side of things, yup?

byebye!


glimmer of hope.



wow.
!

today is the first day where i could play the high notes properly and consecutively in rhythm in danse diabolique!
well, some parts still need practice. & tuning.

:D elated.
didnt feel like stopping, even though my thumb was already mutated and my lower lip was sore to the fullest.
because i could finally get the first part right! haha.
thank you to naixin, samantha, stacy, xinjie, gwendolyn, odelia, ms leong for continuous support!
and most of all, god and family :)
without you guys, i think i wouldnt even survive, or even get the chance to play first clarinet.
thank you, endlessly.

i'm looking forward to band tomorrow!
this feels...surprisingly good. when you finally get something right. the clouds were gloomy and seemed pregnant with rain(as ms nisrin once said, haha.), but while i was walking home, it didnt rain a single drop. & it seemed as if the sky infront of me was somehow a shade lighter than the clouds behind me, all angry looking.
haha, maybe im being too melodramatic. there was even a spring in my step! & i was humming danse diabolique:)

then when i came home it started to flood.
-.-
its still flooding now.
as you can see, from the above pic.

it didnt dampened my mood thoughhh :D
mummy decided to make the blueberry pie! so i helped her in killing 10 digestive biscuits, smashing them into thousands of crumbs to make the pie crust.


crust, after being in the oven.


yummy paste :D

thats it for now,
byebye!
:D

oh wait, i just have to add this pic, because i think it looks really cool, &&& dont you think honey stars are so photogenic!??! :D

im on my second last period already, as you can see.
routine is getting so...mechanical, so automatic :/ hate feeling the way i feel now, like everything sucks.
i suck.
argh, im having war with myself.
i want to get to melbourne now. no offense, but nowadays its just cca, camps & farewells. not that i dont like them. im just sick of them. well, just a little for cca, since i aspire to become a full-time musician one day :D
then again, maybe not.
sigh.
sigh.
sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

no wonder i feel so lifeless! there's no more excitement in anything anymore.







22 more days.


disturbed.

i dont know why, but recently i just feel so troubled, disturbed.
there's more to life than this, no?
i feel so angry at myself.
so lousy.
:/
my life is boring.

the addiction

im already on my last chapter of the book i started reading yesterday. haha :D i've forgotten how addictive books are, shoots you into your own imaginary world, nice :)

had band today. &&& mr chua made those who had already chosen their groups and music to perform, just to try out.

unfortunately he made my group go first. bleahhhh! im grouping with huining, rachel and valerie:) i made so many mistakes while playing, even having to start from the beginning again. bleah! the song sounded wonderful naturally, but i ruined it with my horrible horrible playing): second to go was naixin, samantha & stacy. but since braineater wasnt here mr chua told me to take her place, to play londonderry air. ohmygoshhhh, that song really rocks! it sounds awesommmme.

came back home. after eating lunch & showering, when straight to my bedroom, turned on the ac & i lay on my bed, to read. & i also had the blanket. cosy ^-^...after three hours, slept for a bit. woke up, read a bit, went down for dinner.

wish it could be like this more often. in my imaginary world. haha. i feel kinda -_- from all the reading. emotionless, maybe. maybe i've already used all my feelings and emotions for the book. lol, if that even makes sense. -.-

3 more days to streaming results.
23 more days to melbourne.
pointless countdowns. sigh.

sometimes i really wish that time would just zoom by...haha, anticipating next year for some reason :D
going to go back to reading now- last chapter!!! i can assure you, its all very very exciting! weee. :)





sometimes, i wish, mythical creatures existed. that would make life a hell lot more interesting.
:/

screwwwed.

sectionals was damn sucky. well to me.
YESTERDAY.
it was alright at the start, until we switched to playing danse diabolique. then i had to go to the front cause im playing first clarinet for that.

i saw the score then i was like !@#$%^&*. the horror. Ds, Ebs, Es, Fs, F#s, all 2 octaves higher.
then i told myself im dead.
what made it worse was that chenghuat came.
oh my gosh, the super duper imba pro. & then when he took sectionals, when he played the clarinet to show us what was wrong and right, i felt so damn zi bei la. i couldnt play all the high notes. even if i did, they sounded so piah, speed of air too slow, keep going flat. ahhhhhhhhh.

oh oh i kept asking xinjie for fingering. especially for f. hahahhaha. she was damn pissed la. hahaha. then weileng told her that SHE MUST LEARN TO TEACH :D
she almost abandoned me lor, for her Eb clarinet. damn that cute thing. well, she did, in the end.

): when am i ever gonna reach the high notes...
not soon perhaps.
:/


Nov 11, 2009

lunch was niceee. the chocolate ice cream, who could resist? well, stacy. she passed hers to naixin! actually i also wanted to pass cause my stomach was weird, but HEY CHOCOLATE, how could i. so i ate it all up. muahahaha. -.-

oh right today had class bbq & i didnt go.
yeppps.
so basically, its like ponning! haha -.-
it was raining heavily & sectionals just ended so of course i went home first.
& mummy already cooked, sooooo ya.
i think i would rather eat cornmeal muffins and THE BEST IN THE WORLD chickens rather than..soggy cold diy-bbqed chickens? seriously.

well, maybe im over exaggerating, but it was raining, so mummy told me that it wasnt wise to go out. &&&& i wanted to watch the 7oclock show, see what happened to the jiatong. -.-
& i wanted to watch phineas and ferb! WHO DOESNT! :D
