It's an exciting term ahead for VJ choir. We got family 3 concert, den singapore idols finals backup choir, den PCC concert, den carolling at ritz and raffles hotel!! cool, so much for this new batch of enthusiastic year 1s to accomplish together as a 35 member strong choir.
Today was a dialouge amongst the year1s, alright, we gonna work hard together and accomplish greater things for VJ choir!! Wohoo!!
Haiz.. i'm just psyching myself..
OHYEA!! this wed we getting a dinner by the school!! For winning the competition in Italy!! Yea!! i love VJC!! not like my sec sch, where our accomplishments don't really get recognised.. den it was all about track & field.
Yay, today came home and did my homework!! A rare luxury. Chem skill A worksheet, Math assignment, Econs essay. Yet, i still have bio tutorial and chinese WS to do..
Hopefully tmr can come home and finish it up.. i gotta start focusing on academics man!! promos are looming in the corner.. choir is not gonna relent, but i guess i'll just have to manage my own time.
The dialouge today.
"Don't sign up for job attachments.." "don't get involved in other things.."
I personall don't agree with that. Choir should not restrict our exposure to the finer qualaties of life!! That contradicts the purpose for a CCA in the first place. But i didn't say anything.. dun wanna say stuff that might jeopardize the choir's progress.. argh. Imagine me, an SL saying stuff like choir is not the most important thing in life, once you leave college, choir is not gonna matter, it will only be a lovely memory of hardwork den victory and complains, den satisfaction. But how it might help you get a career, i got no idea. Haiz.. ppl!! listen up!! dun let choir hold you back from persuing your personal interests!! Get a life! :)

Yay, the string of performances are over.. but that means the year 2s are not gonna join us for practices anymore.. that's kinda sad.. Suddenly choir become half the size. Like something is missing.. Last night's performance was not that good.. we actually went out of tune.. Haha oops. But after that we gathered to sing some of our Riva songs, and choir anthem. Wah.. so many people cried. Den we went Lau Pa Sat for supper. Nick paid the bulk of the cost.. they drank beer! Ai yo!! i drank ice milo.. Haha! Den got a bit of left over satay sauce so we played zong ji mi ma.. crap why am i good at guessing numbers.. i had to eat a scoop of "anyhow-make-cocktail" ingredients included satay peanut sauce, rice, onions, milo, chili, chin-charlo(dunno how to spell, lime. I missed the last train home!! haha!! 0007hrs. So i took a cab.. amounted to $11.75. At first i tought the uncle wanna gimme discount of $1 cos i only got 75cents in coins. In the end he didn't.. chey! And he thought i just came home from work! Haha cos i was still wearing my black choir attire, long sleeve and dress pants.
Slept at 2am this morning.. couldn't really pay attention during sermon today.. oops. It was about electing decons for the church and fasting and praying.
Oh yay!! Might be gonna watch the NDP parade at the stadium!! YAY!! hehe. The last time i watched it at the stadium was when ar? hmmm pri 5? and that was the preview!! Haha.
Yawn!! i wanna go sleep!! ciao :)

I don't like this computer.. anybody know how to change internet server? Was blogging last night. Then, when i'm finally ready to publish post, the dumb page prop up telling me cannot find server. Always like dat lor...
Anyway.. my dreams are getting weirder.. lol but there's always an explanation behind them. Like the recent one which i'm not gonna blog about.. hmmm! o.O
But i just realised a weird pattern.. it always has got something to do with my old house at Telok Kurau.. Do i really miss that place so much? Not really what.. or maybe i'm just not aware that i actually do. Or maybe someone's telling me I need to revisit that place for some unfinished business! o.O
1. Giant ants was at my old house
2. Fred and the giant peach was at some castle-like mansion(the roof of my old
house like castle)
3. The theme park one (didn't blog about)=> the only one about my new house
4. The bus ride (I alighted at my old house)
5. Dog race (last night's) => along the park connector at my old house
Hmmm.. argh! i still got flu!! I wonder if i should go to school tomorrow.. got college day rehearsal.. later i don't turn up den the choir people think I'm slacking. Sometimes i don't like being SL man. People expect more from you.
Oh man! It's not even august yet and i've already sent close to 100 smses.

Hmm what else shall i blog about.. ooo i think i'm psychic!! lol.. nah, it's jus telepathy.. HAHA!!!! kk doubt anyone else will get it..
Oh.. And my dreams are getting weirder by the day.. or night.. Haha
NIGHT 1. I was still living at my old house, but i was already grown up and had a family.. We were on our way home. We were at the lobby, walking up to the second floor where my house unit was. Suddenly, we were attacked by giant ants.. These ant's, taller than me, carried modern weapons.. machine guns, flame throwers etc. can't rem the rest. I told my family to run up to the house while i fought them off.. with my hands i think.. or did i have a stick.. HAHA. They were so big!! (the ants) and i don't know what i was thinking.. i was trying to squish them under my feet.. No wonder I had so much difficulty in overcoming them. Then, suddenly, a few of the ants escaped my grasp and headed for my family.. they broke into the house. I tried to stop them but there were too many. I was losing the battle downstairs.. getting whacked left, right and center by these dumb 6-legged monsters. Then suddenly, BOOM!! 3 of the giant ants that broke into my house flew out from my balcony onto the first floor with a loud bang like an explosion, right in front of me. Den my son (about 3 years old) emerged from the house, with a triumphant, fierce look on his face. I was stunned.. so were the rest of the ants..
They retreated, i woke up........
Analysis: Just watched Superman (explains the super-son) and The Mummy Returns (explains the big bugs). Recently wrote a chinese compo where i was married with kids.. (explains the family).
Night 2: I was James in James and the giant peach.. One night i crept out of my room and into the still, dark night. I lived in a mansion with tight corners, narrow corridors and creepy alleys. The colour scheme was very pale, greyish and dull. There was a faint light shining through the few windows in the hall-way, casting errie shadows and brighter spots on the furniture in alternating patterns. But, i was hungry. I knew somewhere in the house, a secret room, lay the giant peach. I was determined to get it tonight. My evil aunts were not going to stop me this time. I was terrified of them, and if they caught me awake and wondering the house at this hour, I would be done for. Yet, I had to get a taste of that giant peach tonight.. I was hungry.
Suddenly, i heard a noise, shuffling of feet and the dragging of furniture across the floor. In the stillness of the night, the noise was defeaning. My heart thumped so loudly that if the movement of furniture across the floorboard hadn't been so long and draggy, I would have been heard. I scurried to the other end of the hallway and took a left turn. Pressing my back against the wall, i checked to see that no one followed me. "Coast is clear, phew!" Then, i saw it, a small gap in the wall across me. Large enough for a small boy like i was to squeeze through. It was a really tight squeeze. Yet somehow, i managed it. It wasn't a gap in the wall, it was another corridor, turning left and right a few more times.
Just as i began to feel claustraphobic, a gentle breeze swept across my face. Moonlight shone into my eyes and i stared in amazement at it. Right in the middle of a humongous open courtyard, surrounded by 4 walls, was the giant peach, the size of a large room, poised beautifully in it's magnificent orange-red colour on the soft earth beneath it. I rushed forward and took a bite, then another. However it didn't taste as satisfying as my Aunts had descibed it to be. It was hard, rather dry, and cold. Yet, i was hungry.. i kept eating. Suddenly a thought struck me, what if i ate so much that i couldn't squeeze back through the corridor? So i stopped, and promised to come back the next night.
As i made my way back into the main house, I suddenly saw the most frightening sight, one of my evil aunts right in the middle of the corridor. She didn't see me. I spun round and in doing so, a blue handkerchief fell out of my pocket. I bent down to pick it up but it was stuck to the ground. So i burried it at that spot, somehow, there was a patch of soil on that spot. Den i ran and hid behind the next corner. I turned back and starred straight in to the eyes of my aunt...
I woke up.
Analysis: I need to go on a diet.

I had a funny dream last night..
There was this huge crocodile in the drain near my house, it was brown and baige in coulour like the army unifrom for desert operations. It was just swimming around peacefully, and i got a shock when i saw it. So i took out my camera (I just happened to have one) and took a few photos of it. It saw me and suddenly turned around... it started wagging its tail like a dog..
Den i woke up and saw my dog at the foot of my bed wagging her tail and staring up at me.. HAHAHAHAHA. But can't be wat.. i was asleep, i can't see through my eye-lids can I?
Yay!! I kinda like today's events.. played frisbee for PE, that was fun, hope Ann Siong still gets a place in the Frisbee team cos our PE teacher is in charge of Frisbee and his group didn't exactly trash ours. Den went to debate with han teng over the issue of mercy killing, whether it's alright. My argument is that even we do not own our bodies and it's God who should ultimately be deciding for us. It's not up to man to take life. Was reminded of the verse "for to me, to live is christ and to die is gain" Hard to live by but it really talks about a life completely surrendered to God and seeking to Glorify Him as the top piority in life, in the things we do, the decisions we make. Den there's In-Vitro Fertilisation(IVF). I think if God chooses to bless you with a baby, he will, in all cases there's a reason for everything.
OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Elica just called me to tell me that there's a fooseball match today! Nobody told me!! Now i'm at home.. took the opportunity to come home early today. Nevermind! Jia you Aquila!! Jia you whoever is playing for Aquila!! Must win man.. i wanna play in finals.. lol.
SO where was i... I forgot to study for vocab test today!! Sheesh, had to sit for a re-test.. booo.. there goes my record of perfect score.. oh well. At least today we did something for PW, all you reading this are gonna recieve a survey from me very soon. Must do ar!! :)

I'm caught in the cycle of school and choir once more. Almost everyday reach home late, no time to rest, do a bit of homework and it's already almost 10pm. Do you know that sleep is necessary for growth? I'm so short lei.. Haha. Still have chinese compo haven't do yet. Teacher say if you don't hand in by tomorrow she'll deduct 3 marks off our mid years results. That means my D for chinese will drop to an E. So my 'SEED' will become 'SEEE'. Hope i can see better with my 'SEEE' helping me. People have been asking if i wear contacts.. nah, i just can't stick the dumb thing into my eye. And my degree also not that high.. still can see lah. The day i take the wrong bus home will be the day I go back to wearing glasses.
The cat downstairs gave birth to a litter of kittens! So cool. I was walking home today when i saw them. Didn't want to startle the mum so i just walked past and watched from a distance. Just realised my house is rather animal friendly.. Got frogs, fish, now even got a cat family.
I like Wednesdays. Got 3 period break at a go followed by 1 period chinese, den bio prac which is fun, den break again.. before chem lec and den the end of the day. 3 periods gives me lotsa time to do anything i want. Of course, i should be catching up on my tutorials but i suppose i should be able to follow the teachers as long as i continue to pay attention in lectures. Besides, there are more important matters to talk to God about. I like the song Dot put on her blog. "In his time". I recognise that God is soverign and he will make a way. So instead of trusting in my own discretion i want to trust that God will make a way, for my birthday wish to be granted, either now or next time. "In his time". Anyway it doesn't matter whether 1+1=1 cos when i said "forever" i meant it.

Today was a supper tiring day in school!
First thing in the morning, found out Dot gets to stay home and rest.. i almost cried man!! Haha. Not fair!! argh!! lol. I still gotta go for choir practice. Then, during assembly the school was chanting for half-day.. lol VJC rox! So, school ends at 12 for most victorians today. Poor TJ starts at 12 i heard.. hehe.
But, i got choir prac.. lol. No matter.. no matter..
So straight after chinese, Debo grabbed me and Ann Siong to go find Elise and Lina at the library. They acted so suspiciously i beacme super paranoid. Haha. In the end they brought me to Debo's house where they took out a oreo cheesecake with the wordings "wibbit frog 17th brithday". Haha. That's cool. Thanks!! For a moment i thought you all were up to something.. Haha. In the end it was just a sweet gesture of friendship. Haha. Sorry ar, i think i didn't manage to express properly how loved i felt at that moment cos i was super tired after no sleep for 36hours. lol, and thanks for accompanying me back to the igloo for the interhouse fooseball tournament. Haha. Yay Aquila!!
Man i think i'll prob sleep at around 8 something today.. great, gonna get scolding from math teacher tmr for not doing math homework.
7:09 PM
Went for lunch at plaza sing after church last sunday. Poor jeremy had to endure another week of routine lunch. Ate some taiwanese food and talked with david about what heaven is gonna be like. Hmmm, will we really forget each other? There's no longer gonna be relationships? kinda sad lei. Or issit we'll konw each other, but everyone's related in the same way, brothers and sisters in christ. Then also, how come we'll always choose to obey God? The sinful nature is gone? Will we remember how it felt to be a slave to the mind and flesh? Will we remember how it felt to be constantly dealing with the issue of disobedience to God? Or will we have forgotten.. if so, do we still have free will? Adam and eve were tested with the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they enjoyed perfect harmony and peace with God till they chose to disobey. Dun tell me the whole cycle is gonna repeat itself meh? Wah.. so many questions suddenlt came to my mind that day. Oh well.
Sometimes, God only requires us to believe in him that he has made the way for us, and not to question the HOWs but just concerntrate on our redemption from the penalty of sin. Faith the size of a mustard seed can really move mountains.
Well, after lunch, Dot, ben, jeremy and I walked around spotlight for a while. So fun eh, playing with all those crappy head-gear and taking dumb photos with my cam! Haha. Retro look really doesn't suite me man.
The bunny look? *shudders* lol
But spotlight is the best place so far i've been to for craft material. Cool man, got all the origami paper i want, got the stylus pen i've been looking for for months, but it's so ex I decided not to buy it in the end.
After the rest left, Ben got impatient so i asked him to go find mum and dad at carefour first. But he's handphone was flat and so we had a hard time finding each other later. Dad had to request for an announcement to be made over the PA system to find Ben.. so cool. That boy.. say will go look for parents at carefour, end up he's waiting outside spotlight. Argh, one day either he'll learn to be more specific or he'll really get lost. Sometimes i'm really worried for the way this guy is doing things. He's perception of life. But i can't really do much if he chooses not to open up to his family. I remeber being like that too at his age.. hope he grows out of it and realise that life's not all that depressing afterall.
Oh well.. den went to meet eugene at j8. I think cos i was still pissed at Ben for misinformation, i took the NEL train supposedly wanting to go to j8. Den as the train pulled into clarke quay, dot's sms "take to where?" suddenly sturck me that this train cannnot take me anywhere near bishan. Was thinking of taking the NEL to an interchange, den change to NS line. Den i realised doubhy ghaut, the place I boarded the train was the interchange. Blur me.. hmmm. Yay, i'm so happy i'm able to find my way around raffles city.. lol. kk nvm.
Reached home and had 15min to spare before the youths arrive. Quickly dump all my stuff, neaten up my room a bit :p and took a 2min shower. Den went down to recieve Dot, Mel, and Carol. Hehe, they're scared of cookie. Had such a great time last night, watching world cup finals together though france didn't win and so happens my birthday is on the same day. So got to celebrate my 17th Bday with all these people too. Had fun rumaging through my old stuff, and thanks for all the new stuff!! I'm so touched, purposely make me open the door, and then, there's the cake and u all started singing happy birthday. Lol. Didn't expect that to happen. Haha! Thanks!!
Took quite a few photos as we fellowshiped through the night. Played 'pig' which we renamed to chocolate so it doesn't sound so discriminating. Wohoo, so much pizza and chips!! Thanks to a smart move from Dot, we could squeeze 3 pizzas and sides into the oven to heat up at one go. Pizza was meant for the italian supporters and Dot brought french fries for the france supporters. But in the end, everybody migrated to the italian camp and ate the pizzas..
The match was quite exciting eh.. Zidane so fast gotta take penalty, den when the ball bounced in and out all of us were stunned, dunno whether goal or not.. in the end it was a goal so we posed for a YAY, France Goal shot.
Soon everyone was trying to get into a comfortable spot to sleep liao.. The sky was red, raining, so nice to sleep..haha but nobody actually slept! so cool! everone managed to keep awake.. what with lame jokes here and there. The occasional adrenaline rush as the ball pushed towards the italian goal post.. hehe, poor carolyn was the only italian supporter. And also, my house door suddenly open on it's own revealing a heart-stopping darkness behind it. Sheesh, so scary!!
Four years later, we'll watch at Mel's house! lol. Until then, then.
PS. i've been awake since sunday morning!! man.. i'm so tired.. yawn!! but had so much fun!! Hehe.

Today was interesting.
Went for choir.. sang for 6hrs with only 1, 3min toilet break and 1, half an hour break for lunch. Practicing for our performance with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra. Tsung Yeh came down to listen to us today. He's a funny guy, but very pro. Teaches very well, like how to sing certain parts, voice placing, very sharp ear too.. and he dances on the spot when he conducts.. haha so funny. Was sposed to go out with my classmates.. den in the end called off. Oh wells, another day den. So i went home....
Was chatting with 'hungry' on the phone, den mum came in and said, "Fred get changed, we're leaving soon." i asked where we're going. Den she said buy your watch at Taka. And i started laughing like crazy. So funny. It wasn't intended. Maybe our parents got some telepathy. Ate dinner, bought a new watch for my bday, so nice!!! i love my new watch!! Haha. thanks mum!!! Den 'hungry' messaged me and told me she changed her name to 'superfull' After a while i realised i liked that name so i changed my name to 'superfull' too and went to find her. HAHA u didn't tell them i was in taka too huh. Their faces so shocked when i suddenly appeared out of no where. Haha. Yay i managed to find stadium in a few minutes! i feel so street smart all of a sudden! Haha.
I really superfull lah, even now.. my bubble tea still haven't finished. It's in the firdge.. maybe tmr i shall drink it while I pretend to be singtel operator and give wake up call.. lols!!! Hehe.
11:20 PM
Today in school the lecturer showed us the mark scheme and apparently a D is 55 marks and above, not 52. So i scored an E on both Bio and Chem. Math results were released toady too. I got 44.. failed by 1 mark. Miss Yang was like, it doesn't make a difference, 45 will just make you feel happier right? Nvm praise God i passed all subjects so far anyway.. 44 is an S grade.. sub-pass. So i got 2Es and 1S for now. Waiting and hoping for a B in econs so i can spell BEES. Den i'll tell people i scored "Bs" in my exam.. Hehe. Impressive!
Supposed to meet my section at 2.30pm in the choir room. Told them on Wed after choir practice. Nobody said anything except Elroy so i thought everyone would be coming. In the end only a few came. Daniel, Jeremy Gan, Yizha, Nicholas, Hu ping, Jonathan Gan, Wei Jie, Danny. Yvone stayed to help too. I'm super grateful to these people. Esp Daniel, Jeremy Gan, Yizha, Nicholas, Hu ping and Yvone. At first we were supposed to clean the choir room, den have sectionals, den discuss Junior-treat-senior (JTS). JTS was sposed to be tmr night, but since most people didn't turn up, nothing could be confirmed and JTS is cancelled.
Went for music practice after that, 1hr plus bus ride from marine parade to bishan.. sianz. Took the opportunity to read my chinese book. Hey found it quite interesting actually. It's about teens going through troubles in school and written from the teacher's point of view as a counsellor and guide to the student. Wow i really like the idea of a youth cell. Where we can jus come together once a week fellowshiping with one another and sharing our lives with the rest of the youth. Our youth ministry has really grown man! Compared to last time, many have joined us. Pray that God will continue to bless this group of young people to impact the nation for him. The blog issue was brought up by David, and i realised also how by responding to taunts and flaming we might jus portray a bad image of our church and of christianity on the whole. We should bear in mind that it's our responsibility to behave as representatives of God's kingdom amongst others.
After music prac Charmaine, mel, dot and I went to macs for dinner/supper. Den mel dot and I shared a cab home. Took photos in the cab.. lol the flash so bright! I love my new camera!! Haha.
12:23 AM
Wednesday, July 05, 2006
Yay!! Praise the lord !! i got a D for biology.. Haha
I passed!! so cool!! And if we caculate in a certain way, that of which is not confirmed yet, i can get a C !!!!!!!!!! argh!! :):)
Haha this is so funny lah, really pri sch aim for 90 plus marks, sec school aim for As, JC aim to pass.. sheesh. Choir today again.. went to siglap for prac with Mr Kwei. Last sectionals basses only managed to do lei yu.. den mr kwei asked whether we did the singapura song.. i said no.. so he said "you will burn in hell" jokingly like he always does when someone disappoints him.. well "hello, I've got Jesus in my heart, i'm not going to burn in hell!!" that was dumb.. okay. Jeremy yeo suddenly very encouraging.. i hope he didn't read my blog or rather is not reading my blog by any chance cos i didn't mean for him to read that last entry..
Oh oh!! more interesting, slept at 10 last night, woke up at 3am this morning to watch Germany VS Italy. Hai ya, dot beat me to the phone.. message came in jus as i turned off my alarm clock.. haha. First half of the match both teams got so much energy, Germany attack like crazy, Italy so many people defend.. but why this match Germany so little shots on goal? The italian keeper didn't really have a job to do compared to the German keeper.. Man the German keeper is super pro!! so many corners he jump up and catch. I was so hungry during the frist half.. haha but dun dare leave the couch to get food. Somemore nobody keep me company through the match except dot thru sms and cookie, my dog.. lol..
Argh why must italy score in the final minute of EXTRA TIME ?! That's just wrong man.. how did that happen.. why must german defence let down their guard at the final moment before their victory.. if go into penalties Germany will be playing this sunday lor.. i mean monday.. Argh!! Went to school this morning, found out johnnie jus got richer.. lol, he made a bet with his friends italy will win.. wah! this guy.. lucky!! hmpf.
Dad bought me a new camera!! oh man!!! so cool!!!! SONY Cybershot DSC-T30!! rox man!!! argh!!!!! Hehe. Now to take even more photos and paste them all over my room. A picture paints a thousand words.. wat's more, i'm too lazy to write!! Haha. Den why am i blogging huh.. i dunno.. lols. Guess i haven't started pasting photos on my ceiling yet..

Today was a crappy day at choir. Yesterday dunno which nut go tell me that music co gotta stay back to observe the dsa auditions. Already had plans to go out and celebrate end of exams lah.. so i purposely stay back for choir.. In the end Mr kwei said we shouldn't watch and pressurize them so they cannot give excuse that they were nervous as we were watching. So I stayed back fo nothing. Haiz, been away from choir for so long.. today suddenly take sectionals. Everybody also got no mood to sing.. or am i such a bad SL that they can't be bothered to sing liao? I wonder who in the world thought i would make a good SL in the first place.. i doubt Jeremy yeo does. I ask him why i was selected, he just told me i was the most correct choice, wat u mean by that? Haiz spent the whole afternoon learning up the scores so i can teach the rest of the section properly on tues. Good thing monday no prac, or i'll have to pon choir! i dun care, holiday!! youth day!! just because mr kwei is not a youth, he wants prac i think.. hooray for those who voiced their opinion that monday should not have prac.
Anyway, yesterday was fun!! haha, immediately after learning that i've wasted my time being faithful to choir, i left for bishan. Whooo at least still got a few hours eh.. haha. Aye but j8 nothing much to do.. hehe nvm, it doesn't matter whether got things to do or not. :p Minitoons got so many of me!! haha. but soon i'll no longer be strawberry.. pineapple ?? no way !!! eh, we haven't finished our dinner yet.. still got the cheescake.. Haha. Had a great time, thanks fellow strong person!! Hahaha.
5:52 PM
