[notice]

TO DENICIA AND XINCI:

Sorry about my attitude. Yeah maybe its true. I am oversensitive and maybe I assume too much. That's why I'm in this emotional state right now. Feeling very miserable and depressed. Really sorry if I offended you guys by what i commented, especially to xinci.

I shall try to be less sensitive now. It's hard to be less sensitive when just so much is happening around you. =(

[/notice]

Hey guys, I'm back from Batam. Will blog more about my retail therapy tomorrow. I have unfinished homework to do. =x

Hey guys, long day it has been!

Let's start from today morning. Woke up at like 7 to prepare myself to go to school for Zion Zone camp! Fell in at 8am sharp. I wasn't late! Yay!

Then from 8-9 wrote scripts for the live broadcast.

Okay at 9 I went to chiong to AMK Big Macs for Committee Meeting. So chiong there to accompany Shi Hwee! She was the first to arrive ley! Prowess. Okay then after everyone came, we started to discuss and decide on all the stuff. We discussed but I had to leave at 1145 coz of Zion. Promised them i'll be back by 10. =x

But seriously lah, you're bias. Just admit. You don't like me to be in the committee. Come clean and I'll give way. I know you're higher than me, but whassup with that irritated attitude I get after I give a suggestion? And seriously don't like you whispering during the meeting. Eventhough if it's about me or not about me, it's freakin' rude. Seriously. You say people digress, but do you realised that by whispering and smsing you're digressing? But that's not wrong. because DIGRESS is essential for meetings. It shows that our mind is thinking and expanding. I seriously cannot stand you anymore. HATE ME? THEN TELL ME. (:

Okay then chionged back to Zion. Camwhored with Minyen while everybody was eating lunch. It's so nice to have the whole Zion room to yourself. I karaoked using the mixer. =x

Then we had THE AMAZING RACE! HAHA. My group was super cool lah! Jessica, Secrene, Pamela and Michelle! Hahaha. The first clue to the firt destination was this;

80km/h

Waaaa. So not easy. But SECRENE was super smart lah. We were like, hmm, that's speed.
then Secrene went like. VELOCITY!

Haha.

Okay second destination was Ion Walkway. This was hard.

OK I SHALL STOP HERE. SUPER SLEEPY! BUAY TAHAN! GOODNIGHT!]

[Edit]

I forgot to say. I discovered THE TRUTH today. =) Finally confirmed my suspicion. Want to know what its about? I WON'T TELL YOU HAHA! It's a secret.

To you two involved, don't worry. I promise I'll keep your secret. =) You don't have to be shy around me neither do you have to deny it. Just express your feelings freely. Love is free. =) I wish you two all the best. Have fun!

Okay the paragraph above is for two of my very good friends that I know. =) Okay good night. =)

Received this meaningful mail. I think this mail is worth forwarding.




Charles Schultz's Philosophy‏

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.

You don't have to actually answer the questions.

Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do? The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields.

But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards; they are the ones that care.

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
It's already tomorrow in Australia."
(Charles Schultz)





Super meaningful right? Super apt for my current situation. I mean, I really treasure these people around me for impacting my life and shaping it. I mean, eventhough you like me or you hate me, I still thank you for shaping my life. No matter friends or foe. Opponent or teammate. You really affected my life. Everyone of you. I can't express enough of my appreciation to all of you. I'm accepting my destiny. So if you hate me, I'm really sorry, but this is who I am. I can't change. And be reminded that I don't hate. I know, every human has his own degree of dislike. But I'm trying myself to not have hatred in daily life.

So even if you're reading this, YOU have impacted my life. =)

I didn't update my blog for the past weeks because been busy with council camp and with Arise Shine. So many things happened. Computer is dying too. AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I want a laptop. =(

Ok enough of Choir + Band. Alumni band's performance was like 15 minutes. -.- Only two songs. Scootin' On Hardrock and The Seventh Night of July. Ok lazy to talk about Arise Shine. I scared comp dies. lol.

Ok yesterday received SMS from Chrissy about CIP for council. So had to come to school at 11am to collect the form. I thought got briefing. Haha, then in the end only got collect form and go. So went to AMK Hub to stalk Gerald and Valere. Then went to eat at Mcd with Valerie, Jerom, Min Er and Jasmine. Valere and Gerald came, kop our fries then went off. Haha. They met Alwyn for lunch. So went to find them. We walked around NTUC then we went off. Haha. They all take bus, i take MRT. =( Then met Jenny and chilled with her. Hahahah. Then just came home. =D

Heylo people!

Today has been a long dayy. Woke up in the morning and slacked infront of the computer. Until like 12+? Went to get ready and met JENNY at Causeway. Hahaha. Had super fun today.

We went to BK and ate/slacked/camwhored. Uploaded the photos in my photobucket. Look under the links for the album URL. =D

Ok then was super LOL! can. We saw someone putting fries inside ICE WATER. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. At first he was dipping it. As if it was chilli. THEN he put alot of fries inside the water and SOAKING it and started shaking it as if it was a cup of coffee. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. JENNY laughed so loud that the guy got scared and moved further from us. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. See photopail for more info. HAHAHAHA.

Ok then soon i think Jenny's laugh attracted too much attention already. So we went to slack at library. Hahahaha. Went there then got chased out by the stupid woman. Ugh. Same woman that always chase out kids. Ugh. I heard that she's my friend's enemy's mom. Ugh. Assholic sia. She was like, "NO SITTING HERE. PLEASE SIT SOMEWHERE ELSE." First we were sitting near the office door. Then they said don't sit there. So we moved in to sit closer to the shelves. But she said we were blocking the way. Wtf sia. Then she was standing there waiting for us to leave. -_-. Asshole sia. So then me and Jenny decided to leave the Library.

Then went to walk walk around causeway, looking for stuff and just window shopping then we talk talk talk talk. Then soon we decided to go home by MRT. So we took MRT to Admiralty then after like 1429581385135 trains passed then Jenny went home. Hahahaha. Was talking all the way.

Then went home and was about to pack for tomorrow's council camp, but Mom and Dad wanted to go eat. So I just followed lor. Then came back then I chiong to pack council stuff. O_O

Actually hor, I'm sort of looking forward to tomorrow's camp. I want to get to know my council mates more. =) That's why I feature them and my other cca mates in my blog, under extras! Hahaha. I think my council friends are really unique. They are a much better bunch then my class peeps, no offence Devotees. Lol. So yeah. I really want to have a special bond with them. I'm hoping to have a special bond with everyone. Especially my cca mates. For band, it is important. To produce one music, we need to be one. Especially the heart of the music, percussion, must beat as one. I already relinquish my hatred and i'm willing to start anew. The ball is in his court now. For Zion and Council, we need to be close to each other and to know each other well to operate the club well.

I really love my CCAs. And never have I regretted joining Band, Zion, and Council.

BYE PEOPLE! I WON'T BE POSTING TILL FRIDAY! (oh yes. I have combined rehearsal on Friday) SEE YA THEN!

HAHA. if you guys don't know the song, go imeem or youtube. The song is bloody loud. -.- It's what the Alumni Band is playing!

Had to go to school at 8 for Councillor Camp Briefing. And pass up consent form.

Ok then when reached MRT. ALSO when i reach the end of the escalator. THE DOOR of the train closed. double Wtf.

Ok then met Jenny at 715. She was like so pissed at me. HAHAHA. Then i started singing The Prayer in the train. It's like so nice luh can. Hahaha. Jenny said I can wake up the dead. HAHAHA. Now you know why I let my hands do the singing. HAHA.

Thought I was the first councillor to like reach school so damn early. But realised GERALD was there! Lol. Then we went to the piano and started playing. Taught Gerald how to play Unfaithful. FINALLY someone to carry on my tradition. I hope my 3 successors in my primary school continue the tradition. Hahahahahaa.

Ok then councillors briefing. We were basically briefed about the same thing -.-

Then me and Gerald went back to the piano to play again. Hahaha. We both love the piano~ Ok then this time I thought Gerald how to play Tong Hua. Hahaha. Soon after he can get hold of it. Him, me, Min Er, and Jasmine went to the BBTea shop. Not ready yet. So went to 7 Eleven to buy chips. Then come back BBTea shop and slacked for like so long. That was my breakfast. Hahaha. Come to think of it, me and Gerald really similar luh. As in, our hobbies, our perspective. Lol.

Ok continueee. Where was I. Oh yea. Then after we slacked went back to school. Gerald and Jasmine left. =( So I decided to stick around with PA since they invited me to listen and I had to attend a course after that anyway.

Then we had the set up the mic and music. Was super cool luh. Then I like, djed for a few seconds. Mr Edmund Choo really nice =). He said that's why he gave the mixer and speaker to us. So we could like broadcast. Ok, I am soooo going to tell President Crystal about the broadcasting. We might need a few PA peepos to help us.

Ok then we had lunch break. So I waited for MeiFang to come. She came. Bus came. We went to NUS!

Nus was soooo cool lah. The stage and all. Lazy to post photos. Lol. Hahaha. Ok nothing much to say about this. Just that it rockszxczxczxc big time.

So I went into school compound again and toileted. -.- The Solomon block kinda creepy at 6+ Because noone is there and its very quite and there are alot of birds.

Can you light up the sky?
Light them up for you~


Okay, random. Lol. This has been an earworm since I changed blogskin. Lol. I changed blogskin because the old one was too emo for me. Although it was nice. But the format was the same though. Introduction at the top and the navigations by the word.

Ok, I shall talk about yesterday. Saturday!

Had NDP in the morning. Wasn't really fun. But I slept on the way back. The boys were so noisy. -.- Okay then I went for band immediately. There were only the Sec4s and 3s warming up. So I decided to warmup as well. Soon after more Sec2s came. Elias started with the warmups.

Then halfway through, Mr TanWB took over with warmups. Surprising. Yah we did some scales going up and going down. First time all percussionist had to play scales. Lol. Jacob and me took the marimba, Xingzhi took the bells. Then Gilbert was supposed to do the drumroll, but in the end Jacob did the drumroll and Gilbert was on the Marimba. Was a fun time warming up =D my hands felt muscular already. HAHAHAHA. LIKE REAL.

Ok then we started off with CENTURIA! Mr TanWB just brushed up some parts and I think we sounded good. =D

Then moved on to Can't Take My Eyes Off You. I played the Tambourine this time. YAY! Then Xingzhi was supposed to play the maracas, as directed by Jacob. But she gave the "I want to cry" face so Jacob gave her the clavs while Gilbert played Maracas. HAHAHAAA. Who would want to play the maracas sia. 1.) Tiring. 2.) You'll look extremely hilarious.

Was a fun time playing the song. Xingzhi kept giving me the diao face when I sang it. HAHAHA. Told you I've always wanted to join choir.

Haha. Soon Band was over. Then homed =D

Somehow, I feel like I'm looking forward to Council camp. Yeah! They are a bunch of nice people =).

Ooh! ZION ZONE CAMP TOO!!! =DD
