*Sigh*
one word for today: terrible. suddenly, i am in a "waterfall" mode.
"i feel as if i do not exist here. is that person showing how bad i am at this job? implying that he could do a much better job than me?"
i don't know about others. u can say i am pessimistic. but imagine how u'd feel when many a times this person took over your job, in your presence. do u feel good? i don't. if i am not good enough, let me know. i want and will improve.
i don't know how to express my thoughts on this clearly but i do feel very unwanted and unimportant. (i have difficulty expressing myself)
sigh. i didn't want my blog to be filled with times when i am in low spirits. i try not to. not even rants. brake here.
-----
yesterday went to com works concert which featured a few pieces that some schools are playing for their syf. the concert didn't impress me at all despite their achievements: first prize in first division in World Music Contest. the brasses sounded raw unlike our band (we sounded warm although not as good as them technically). their percussion didn't balance i think. sounded kind of irritating. but their clarinet section's good cause they blend in with the band with clear articulation. best piece should be ross roy.
lots of teasings yesterday. linjean's love-struck. saw a clarinetist which according to her looks dashing. don't know they go there for the right reasons or not. *shakes head* then, this sji boy was mesmerised by kitmun. he did something which was kind of lame. threw a piece of paper with his hp no. to kitmun who's sitting in front and wanted her to sms him asap. *shakes head vigourously*
-----
on our way home, diana talked to me about some of her bad experiences in friendships. and we both agreed it's extremely difficult to find a confidante in secondary school life.
i think it is really important to be truthful to each other. cause we've accepted each other, that is why we've became the best of friends. what's the use of saying appreciating one's friendship when another moment, you badmouth people behind their backs.
she said that she'd rather know what her friends think about her and be frank.
come to think of it... i really do want to know what my friends think about me.
hope they don't feel awkward when i suddenly pose this question.

happy bday siewchan.

Ketchup...
during band practice today, we had the recruits (sec1s) with us. man... their dance was extremely 'kawaii nehz' (cute)! They were really spontaneous when our conductor wanted them to show the seniors their cherographed dance of the Ketchup Song. It's Ketchup Song cause' we'd be playing that song for our upcoming concert, the only pop piece in our repertoire (concert going to be held in Singapore Conference Hall, see Before Graduation website for more info). So, we played the song and laughed so hard cause' it was really cute. Plus, the recruits are very short and small in size... haha! They even have something like a 'duet' dance. Rasyikim and a trumpeter girl, leading the entire recruits. They danced so well that even our conductor enjoyed it. Bet the audience would love it. At hindsight, I felt lucky that I wasn't that batch of recruits -- need to dance accompanying the music by the Band for the public, and it sure isn't an easy thing to do.
Well, I think people who suffer the most (physically) would be Us. All the pieces (although only 5 or 6 of them) were very long and tedious. Breath support or in another words, stamina must be well-trained. U can really see 1st clarinetists struggle in the piece where there are hardly rests. We are the melody for the entire song and it goes non-stop. It is like 4 pages long. I'm not superwoman, but I'd try my best. After playing for the Friday & Saturday practice, my lips became so red that it really hurts on the inside. Feels like hundreds of ulcers. (Ouch!) And, Princess Mononoke's High High F is unreachable for us... the higher we go, the more pressure and wind speed we must have. So, it adds on to the pain on the inside. However, it really is a very emotional song and I love it despite it changing from majors to minors etc.
Fortunately, for that 1 hour of concert, we are going to have our Alumni members (members who have already graduated from the band) as 'kao4 shan1' and could at least rest for that few mins. Phew~!
Hopefully, we'd have a successful evening...

This week's [F]riday[F]ive
1. Is your hair naturally curly, wavy, or straight? Long or short?
(ans)Naturally..... actually abit curly at the ends... everyone started with short hair rightz... baby's hair where gotz long onez... haha...
2. How has your hair changed over your lifetime?
(ans)when i was young, my dad and mom nags non-stop at me... they think that having long hair is troublesome... got to tie and it's hot in Singapore you see... will perspire alot... so i'll go get it cut. well... doesn't work now... haha... i like the way long and straight hair looks... that's what i have now...
3. How do you normally wear your hair?
(ans) well, i tie it up in a ponytail whenever i'm in school, cause' it is expected of girls to do that & i find it less distracting when the wind blows... haha. sometimes i do let my hair down... when i've got no time to tie it up neatly, that is... haha.
4. If you could change your hair this minute, what would it look like?
(ans)into curly onez again? look at Jolin's hair... pretty, isn't it? but, i won't dye my hair.
5. Ever had a hair disaster? What happened?
(ans) don't know whether it's called a disaster but i don't feel good with it. when i had my curly ends quite a few months ago, i find it frustrating to keep it neat & since i really like straight hair, i went for rebonding instead. now, i don't have to worry much. tying it is much easier and less time consuming now.

Annoying Things
After Sept. 11th, we all heard stories of why some people of one company in the Twin Towers were alive and their counterparts were dead. In the end, all the stories were just about the little things that happen to us:
You might know, the head of the company got in late that day because his son started kindergarten. Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts. There were other stories that I hope and pray will someday be gathered and put in a book. The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive.
Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone... all the little things that annoy me... I think to myself...... This is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment.
May God continue to bless you with all those "annoying" things.
Never drive faster than your angels can fly!
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

Sunday 15th June
went to kim seng winds symphony concert conducted by mr tan beng wee & am very glad that he still thinks of northland band...=) the concert was great!! i loved the pieces and their clarinetists cause they had really good stamina and tone... at least as compared to me...
weejuay's solo was nice too...
after the concert, we went to suntec to have dinner and dedicated a song that was f.o.c near the fountain... guess what?! our dedication was read by the deejay!! haha! me, jasrie & rafaee were extremely overjoyed... our message was:to all northland band members, from band major, drum major and student conductor
well, we're excited cause it was our first time hearing our dedication being read out... song was suggested by jasrie - his fav linkin park song: somewhere I belong.
before that, we went to the fountain of wealth to make a wish since it was opened for the public. it is believed that, if u reach out ur right hand and touch the water, turning arnd it thrice, making a silent wish, ur wish would come true. 3 of us wished something for the band... yupz...
then we treated ourselves to andersen's ice cream... yumm-ingly delicious... mine was mint chip and mocha almond fudge... *slurpz*
that was indeed the happiest day I had for this year... havent been so crazy and happy for quite a long time since this yr is Os year...
Linkin Park
Somewhere I Belong
When this began.
I had nothing to say
and I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
and I let it all out to find,
that I'm not the only person with these things in mind
(inside of me)
but all that they can see the words revealed
is the only real thing that I got left to feel
(nothing to do)
just stuck hollow and alone
and the fault is my own and the fault is my own
I wanna heal
I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long.
erase all the pain 'til it's gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel like i'm close to something real.
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
somewhere I belong
and I got nothing to say.
I can't believe I didn't fall rightdown on my face
(I was confused)
look at everywhere only to find
that it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind.
(so what am I)
what do I have but negativity
cuz I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me
(nothing to lose)
nothing to gain I'm hollow and alone
and the fault is my own
and the fault is my own
I wanna heal
I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long.
erase all the pain 'til it's gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel like I'm close to something real.
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
somewhere I belong
I will never know myself until I do this on my own
and I will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything 'til I break away from me
I will break away.
I'll find myself today
I wanna heal
I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long.

Terrible evening...
dunno what happened again... had gastric problems and this isn't the first time liao... what happened two days ago was really terrible... wouldn't wanna remember how I spent that evening...
mom said that I should consult the doctor so that I know what's happening... frankly speaking, I am scared... feared that I would end up like my sis... being sent for an operation after suffering from stomach aches after having each meal for a week...
I hate to be in the hospital, even if it's just to visit someone who is hospitalised...
maybe I'm just thinking too much... maybe there's nothing wrong but some minor stuff like, I've eaten the wrong food or I am just allergic to some foods? maybes.....
I don't know... hopefully, I am fine...

This week's FridayFive...
1. What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have?
(ans) travel to a peaceful countryside I guess... right now, I just want a comfortable area like the countryside where the air is refreshing; where I can ride on a horse all day long and enjoy different views on a higher altitude... this is somewhere that I could seek solitude...
2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc, are you always honest?
(ans) yup... I always give my comments frankly... I'd always start with: "Personally, I feel/think....."
3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn't? What happened?
(ans) something that will cause u to have some sorta paradigm shift? maybe JW? He's a friend who cheers others up,but in the end, to my disappointment, he has a rather low self-esteem... I felt used sometimes... especially when he wants to find out things on my friend whom he has a crush on... I wonder if he ever thought and cared for friends sometimes... He isn't what I think he is when I first got to know him.
4. If you could live in any fictional world (from a book/movie/game/etc.) which would it be and why?
(ans) I'd still prefer to live on Earth though... I'm more familiar and conscious with the things happening around me...
5. What's one talent/skill you don't have but always wanted?
(ans) the ability to solve mathematical problems quickly and accurately I guess... My maths hasn't been good since primary 1... & to be able to cook very well? My grandpa & dad & mom are great cooks but I ain't... I thought there's hereditary... But I'm wrong I guess... haha...

Section Outing
our section outing was held in Euphony Gardens Function room(my 2nd home in Jalan Mata Ayer) and we really had a fantastic time (being crazy as usual) together! well, we(clarinetists) invited flute section as well but only 3 turned up. All the recruits didn't join us since they're broke and their parents didn't really allow them to come...
We played lotsa weirdy games... all improvised at that moment... urm such like: the game which involves the "stamping" or "attacking" on others' balloons; the qn & ans colour games which requires quick thinking & one's calmness; musical chairs suggested by kitmun... (wahaha!) Of course, I wouldn't forget to take lotsa photos to place them on the website (before graduation). This outing was the Fun-"NEST" ever! (though not all of my section members came...) We also celebrated belated birthdays for SiewMay, Farah, Edmund, Siping, Ziyin, LyeHuat, WanTing & Suet Gek. And can u believe they can't even blow a single candle together!? (faintz)
Although the outing was only half a day (from 12pm-7pm), it was extremely enjoyable! think i won't have a chance to be so crazy anymore... since O levels is kinda near + I'm going to graduate soon (aww...)
I appreciate my section's company very much... And, I think I'm gonna miss each and every one of them after I graduate from school...
Though we were all very very tired after the outing, we still planned to go for movies or bowling... but when we reached GV, to our dismay, the evening movies have already started... However, we're gonna watch together TODAY! (after band prac)
oops... I think gotta log out already... me using school's pc... having computerised accounting u see... but I don't skive la... I completed my work already... waiting for presentation of certz... alright... tata...

Though we were all very very tired after the outing, we still planned to go for movies or bowling... but when we reached GV, to our dismay, the evening movies have already started... However, we're gonna watch together TODAY! (after band prac)
oops... I think gotta log out already... me using school's pc... having computerised accounting u see... but I don't skive la... I completed my work already... waiting for presentation of certz... alright... tata...

Surprise, surprise... & more surprises!
long time no blog. well, I've been revising my Chinese conscientiously(sec1-4 syllabus & 128 idioms) these few days, that is why I didn't have the time to come online. next week... next monday will be my first time on the "hot seat"... *nervous* to make things less complicated, it will be my very first time SITTING for the Chinese 'O' levels paper. hence, these few days felt like airplanes crashing... (oops!) i mean... crash course (class rather) for Chinese for the first four periods, which means 2 hours with Mdm Ho (the well-respected & very resourceful mother tongue HOD) i felt grateful and lucky (a blessing in disguise) to have her as my chinese teacher for these 2 years. She's great, fantastic, marvellous... anything good, u name it! Even the better class next door... (we were banded by the grades we got during our streaming examinations in sec2s & i was allocated to the 2nd class, where the students got Bs, Cs)... have to get notes and photocopy (like the woman advertising for the double-A paper) from us!
"alright. I hope I don't write outta point like what I have done a few seconds ago, on my essay writing section..."
Definition of Surprise:-
(1)To encounter suddenly or unexpectedly; take or catch unawares.
(2)To attack or capture suddenly and without warning.
(3)To cause to feel wonder, astonishment, or amazement, as at something unanticipated.
(4)To cause someone to do or say something unintended.
My answer to today's blogging objective: (3)
Yes, it was really unexpected.
Firstly, I can't believe I actually scored an A1 for my Geography. Gosh... when Edmund told me, you should look at my eye balls... Well, still i reminded myself every now and then not to be complacent and keep on working harder to score that very same grade for the GCE 'O' levels.
Secondly, I passed my English though not with flying colours... surprisingly... I thought I wasn't going to make it this time. I felt encouraged to hear my English teacher, Mrs Teo and ex-el teacher, Mr Taufiq saying that my English has improved. Thanks to Mdm Tai (English Language HOD) too. I find her sharing session on the Summary writing very useful and I was quite satisfied with my summary (as I kept her words in mind),this time round though I just managed to pass. It helped me passed my entire paper, together with my paper 1, which I thought I could have flunk too. After getting my results for English, I reminded myself again that I MUST continue to improve this subject, and get a distinction Mrs Ting (my tuition teacher from RGS) thinks I am capable of. Frankly speaking, I owe Mrs Ting alot. She believes in me, encourages me to do better, making me confident in doing well in this subject. To me, she is the angel of wisdom. Not only did she shared with us tips and common mistakes candidates did for their el paper, she also shared with us alot more things... like, discussing issues that concerns Singapore, news that has relatance to biology and chemistry... and so on... Through discussions, unknowingly, we were slowly managing our oral, discussive/argumentative essays step by step, better each time.
Lastly, I was extremely overjoyed to find that I was on the list for "top scorers" on the school's Science board. The results were just pinned up by Mrs Ooh while I was on the way after school dismissal. I was standing there dumbfounded. I was like no.3 for the combined science for mid-yr exams. I thought I scored really pathetically (I scored a B3 only...) I was just below Jasrie, by 0.3 /0.5 i think. Haha... but that doesn't matter.
Most importantly, I don't want to lose my motivation and determination in studying. I WANT to get the desired aggregrate to enter a good junior college.
