OK, I was, like, 2 days ago.

I'm supposed to be mugging like mad now, cos i'm leaving for taiwan in a few days time, so photos when i take a rest!

But all in all, JAPAN WAS DAMN FUN.

I swear i'm going there again some day, probably after my As (: We shopped like, every day and i bought home alot of barang barang!

Right. Shall go study now :(

Cheryl, i'll miss you lah (: and i'll buy something back for you, don't worry!

I haven't even started packing, only made a list of things to bring.. I hope i haven't missed out anything =/ most important is... MUST BRING PASSPORT. I will always forget to bring something, it ALWAYS happens. I hope this time round it won't be anything of importance, like socks or underwear! If it happens, i think i'll die. And clothes don't come cheap in the land of the rising sun!

Oh and my maid has left already, didn't even get the chance to say goodbye as I was having tuition at that time.. God bless her and hope that she got back safely and is reunited happily with her family. My mom had her reasons for not telling her, she didn't want to risk the chance of her family getting hurt. Too paranoid, i know, but she's a mom lah, she will put family safety first.

OK! Tomorrow there's band again... :( won't have the chance to go back to see the camp, only the POP on saturday will i be able to attend.

I love my mother, but sometimes she's really...

Cruel.

She doesn't want a maid and decides to send her home, but she doesn't tell her until the day itself.

Then my maid didn't even call her family, or have any pre-warning.

Imagine, when you are just going about your daily life, in a FOREIGN COUNTRY, where you employer just comes and tells you that you have to leave.

And she's been with us... 2 years?

I don't like her very much either, but i really feel my mom is too horrible and heartless this time round.

I feel very sorry for my maid

She's crying now.

with cybil yesterday, had some kind of teppanyaki which gave me lots of stress trying to cook the food and it came up to $25.

!!!!

SO EXPENSIVE!
CYBIL I'M NEVER EATING AT THAT PLACE AGAIN :(

Today there was band..
Cheryl, if you're reading i really miss you ok?
I feel lonely without you sitting beside me :(
And i totally suck at poet and peasant. I have to get all those semi-quavers right before i get my ass to osaka.

Tomorrow i have project work meeting at amk library :)
Let's get it done, man.

See today's LIFE for an explanation.

I'm in the library now. Just now during chinese i happened to check my phone and there was an sms from XY.

It said...

THERE'S NO BAND TODAY!!
ahahahahaha :)
I can go window shopping today already.

That certainly lifted up my mood.
Smsed CT, but she seems to be having class now.

Too bad i have to wait another 2 hours before my Lit class starts, then i can leave school.
Can't skip :( already did so last week.

Today it was Sokyi's birthday and they used GP to celebrate =/
Then when she was making her wish they smashed whipped cream and flour on her.
Some of the cream got on farrah's bag and she got realll mad.
Then it was news quiz and i answered 2 questions correctly and miss peh gave me a sweet, haha :)

I gathered up my courage yesterday and talked to ** for the first time in... 2 years?
Whew! Thanks cybil, for giving me moral support x)

I was reading through blogs, and i saw pupeng's one.

AMKSS Band is now the school's niche CCA!

I suddenly miss it very much now.. My section, my clarinet, my friends. I still remember my first day, when i was choosing instrument. I think BT put me in clarinet cos he didn't know where to put me. Haha, anyway, i'm glad he 'chucked' me in the section cos i wouldn't want to play any other. 4 years passed so fast - my seniors are now in university, my juniors are going to take their Os soon.

Everyone's growing up so fast!

I remember very clearly our first Gold in the 2005 SYF. And even more so, the GWH in SYF 2007. I think those were the 2 moments where i realised that hard work is nothing compared to the end result.

So, congratulations AMKSS BAND!

I'm waiting for YPSB now :)

Pssst.... Do you know that i keep smses all the way from 2005??

Weird right? I was just looking through them the other day in my old handphone. They were from ** lah. Then i was suddenly struck by how immature and foolish i was then. No wonder it was going nowhere. I was petty, naive, clingy and insecure.

:( Sigh, must grow up lah.

PS. Cybil, go with me to cut hair.

Today i wasn't feeling well, so i came home early.

Whew! I knocked out for 7 hours straight. I think today night i will have difficulty sleeping again. My mom says its the accumulation of so many late nights. I swear i was going to knock out right in front of mr nandwani in econs, i was THAT dizzy and tired.

I need lots of stuff for my osaka trip, like new shoes and jeans and stuff. Can't wait to go shopping x)

Tomorrow's FRIDAY! YEAH! The long weekend is coming!! Then it will be tuesday, then wednesday, then thursday, then friday which is GP paper so i only come in the afternoon then it will be....

THE HOLIDAYS!! 

I havent been updating on my life for very long, haha. Lets just start from Saturday, NYJC and Guzheng ('East meets West) band performance @ SCH! Good friends like cybil, jiaying and yunxi DID NOT ATTEND. Thanks man! Only yunxi is excused, cos she's in TJC band lah.

So I went to school at 12, reached SCH at about 2 plus? And had very long winded rehearsals until about 6, where we FINALLY had dinner (and it was disappointing, but who cares). I like ny uniform better, cos there is NO HOT BLAZER, nor UNCOMFORTABLE STOCKINGS. Plus there is no chance of accidentally exposing yourself. But i really miss amkss band lah.

Finally the concert was about to start, i saw my (practically) whole class. They came to support the 3 of us, thanks =) Some people were dressed as if they were going for prom. Before peter and the wolf XY was so freaked out! =/ But she quacked her way out just fine. Jerry really looks like an old man! The audience really liked PAW, could hear their laughter all the way backstage.

Overall the concert went rather well, much better than the alumni concert =/ Next stop, OSAKA!!!

During the intermission my class passed me the flower they bought, and later after the concert liwen gave me a flower from the absent CYBIL TAN. Both flowers were sunflowers. CT, you're forgiven. Just for this time. =) Cheryl and I were the first to get on the bus back cos we were dead tired and just wanted a place to sit. We karoaked to Tong Hua, old song, haha!

OK, i think i've lost my touch in blogging. I no longer feel or remember the urge to blog something funny or exciting.

I think i'm the lousiest student in my class. I'm failing econs and maths(very badly), just passing history, and i think i may just fail lit too cos i have no idea whats going on in that class. Then i look at my friends and the long long essays and i realise they know exactly what the teacher is saying, while i don't comprehend sh** and i panic. ARGH. I MUST PASS MID YEARS AND PROMOS. I try to push myself but somehow it just doesn't work. You know, i have very, very limited time to study during the june hols? From the 1st to 7th june i'll be in OSAKA(=)), and from the 13th to 21st i'll going to taiwan/HK. Sure, i'll bring my books along, but i really have to train my willpower cos WHO DOES HOMEWORK ON A HOLIDAY?

Work aside, I'm really looking forward to osaka. Just that i think i will be very, very isolated and lonely while with my section cos cheryl is not going. I'm not familiar with the other section members! I think thats the problem with me, once i have a friend i don't bother making others. But... hai. I'm scared i won't click with them. At least... Xiang Yun is going. We really should take this time to catch up on each others lives cos we hardly talk now. =( If only you were in my maths class or smth, like last time. Or maybe had a common recess break where i could hop over to your class for a chitchat session.
She says i've changed. Says i've become more withdrawn when i came to jc. Really? I haven't noticed that. Maybe it's today lah, my mood was, and is, quite black. Hai, nvm. I shall write my thoughts in the diary and share it with her.

Yesterday i went out with CYBIL! =)
We went to Ti Amo to eat dinner. The bill was surprisingly small for a restaurant that looked real chic, and the food was surprisingly good for a restaurant which i had my reservations(cos most restaurants with psuedo-fake spanish names normally serve sub standard food). Later on we went to j8 and sat at coffee bean while i did my school work. We wanted to catch a movie(cos cybil is a GV member and she gets 6 dollar tickets on tuesdays) but the timing didn't tally. Nevermind, i shall save my $$$ to watch narnia =)

I need to go shopping for the japan trip. I think i'm most probably going sometime this week with cyb. My mom agreed to be the ATM, yeah x)

Pictures from the concert, taken from NYJC website

Hey! It's 0836! Haha!

I think this is Zen and Daniel.

Peter and the Wolf!! XY the duck and Elijah as Peter!

XY the duck and Cladys the bird

Shirlyn the cat!

Ferran the Wolf

The duck got eaten

The hunters! Haha! Nazreen's moustache!

BT

You know halfway through the concert he suddenly shouted, '1234!'
LOL. Did he forget he was not in rehearsal! xD

Clement playing his solo

OK, thats it :)
I hope everyone had a great time!

It's been forever since I last blogged. So i'm doing so in NY's library today, Class in 15mins! Gotta hurry!

I'm busy out of my mind here. I have a stupid maths lecture test on thursday that I'm not prepared for! Ah! My class people are all so smart, seriously. Someone's feeling inferior......~
But although JC life's busy, i really enjoy it, haha. It's a lot better than a mundane lifestyle in secondary school. Even though i end school MUCH later than what i'm used to in secondary school, i don't find myself complaining. LOL. Maybe it's just for now la. When I find myself buried tests and exams and tutorials and CCA, maybe i'll be singing a different tune.

Concert this sat! Hope it goes well =) Then 3 weeks later it will OSAKA TRIP! WHEE! So exciting OMGOMGOMG. I get to share room with xy yeahhhhh... Gossip sessions! 
After that will be YPSB. I'm excited cos i get to go back to AMK and see the band room and sec 3s there again.

Yep! Can't wait!
