If i were to rate my social life in choir.. it'd be a 1.. that's 1/10 mind you.. Farewell basically sucked.. JTS too.. wait let me set the record straight. I really enjoyed myself with the people who turned up for JTS! I played lan with them.. lol first time =p kena owned... The Ex-co did a fantastic job organising the farewell and all! everything went smoothly according to plan and there was more than enough food! They packed the leftovers into styrofoam boxes for people to take home.. 10 points for that ingenius idea! OK so why did it suck so bad? Haiz.. cos the seniors are leaving! And the batch of juniors, namely US, who are taking over the responsibilty of upholding VJChoir's legacy? We're a real let down i think. Mr Kwei said something today during the tea-light session aka sit in a circle with a tea-light in front of you and hear what the year 2s have to say as a farewell speech. He said "If anything, you (year 1 cohort) are not half as united as the year 2s" I TOTALLY AGREE WITH HIM. I mean.. how can you expect us to be united with people like ... around?

Here's wat happened.. VS GUYS!! PAY ATTENTION.

So it was dinner time.. i got my food and sat down with them to eat.. immediately, as in, before i managed to take my first mouthful of food immediate, they start criticising VS GUYS in general.. i mean wat the heck.. "i felt so welcome to sit with them?" What a bloody freaking generalisation! And not like they had anything nice to say about us! It's really hard to lead a life God calls us to lead.. especially with such people around.. i'm pissed.. and really hurt. Some people can be so mean!!

Believe me when i say, I'm really sad to see the year 2s go, especially the VS GUYS!!!!!! Thanks to the ... people my loyalty to my alma mater just went up by a gazillion times.. anyone wants to criticise her, for goodness sake take a look at yourslef.






Ok.. so much for that.
Man I'm really gonna miss singing with this choir. As in 1988, 1989 batch of choir members. I realise there's never gonna be another chance for this choir to sing together like we did in Italy ever again. The videos of us winning the GRAND PREMIO in Italy really gave me goosebumps and it was like we were doing it all over again. A few of us stood up and cheered when we saw oursleves claim the grand prize again on the screen. Suddenly all the memories of Italy come flooding back through my mind, the joy and honour of receiving a standing ovation coursing through my veins once more. What's next year gonna be like? Nothing's gonna beat italy i think. Irvin's said we ought to find our place in choir.. for that balance. People think that once you have a com position, you're happy in choir cos you got something to do. Yea right.. I ought to get off the scale incase I upset the balance.

All ready for school? Haiz.. gone were the days my fringe swept across my face when the wind blew.. LOL! Sounds so gay.. kk STOP. Terry said this pic super emo.. Hehe! really ar ? cool! Time to do ome reflections on 2006 man.. Been a crazy year.. but i'm not gonna reflect here and let everybody see!! :) Shall write it somewhere more private i think ? Hey who's free on 31st? come my church for countdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh! I got locked out of the house today! Haha! First time! I took out my keys from my wallet as they were making ugly imprints on the leather. Mum bought me this really nice billabong wallet for christmas! Haiz.. makes me feel guilty and appreciative all the same.. didn't get my parents gifts.. and recently i realise i've been really rude and impatient towards them. But sometimes i just can't help it! God gimme patience and grace!!! ARGH! I think i'd be really sad if i were my parents.. :(
Aniwaes.. i was sitting outside the basketball court eating my donut while waiting.. lol.. some picnic. But this mozzie ppl gotta come and do fummigation.. eh.. chocolate donut is enuf.. no need extra DDT or something. Haha. The look on Dad's face when he saw me with black hair again was so funny.. his mouth was so round.. haha!! But den.. haiz, again i disappoint myself. I'm too cool, too pushy, too impatient, too angry for him for locking the door.. stupid reason. FRED!! Who ask u never bring key! Not Dad's fault lor.. Haiz.. and so i missed out on a chance to laugh and joke with Dad and Mum about my new haircut. Wat's wrong with me.. I complain ppl are snobbish.. when here i am thinking i'm too cool to tell my parents how much i love them. :(
Teenagers nowadays ought to behave at home, like they would with their friends. Weird way of putting it but, i think it's really true in alot of families. Ppl often say teens need to behave outside like their under the watchful eyes of their parents but i dun think that's all encompassing. Bleh.. why am i blogging about this.. haha!

Oh another sickening thing to blog about! Bass JTS. Though it's not till tmr that i will actually find out how many ppl will turn up. It's still damn freaking irritating when ppl confirm with you that they are coming, den after u book the bloody table, they tell you they cannot come. And it's like i book liao, send out sms to confirm with them that the table has been booked, den they reply cannot come.. so if i didn't sms you all, i'll get a surprise tmr morning when no one comes issit? %$*&$^&%$(^% Thanks God at least Daniel agreed to go shopping for the farewell gifts.. Den i went home to pack it properly and write the cards, signing them with "BASSES 06-07" Should just write from me and Daniel eh.. but den, likedat cannot claim money.. All of you owe me $7.70!! I hope none of the seniors read this.. lol. Was sposed to go for the campus crusade thingy tonight.. but had to do econs project and pack the farewell gifts..

TMR is JTS.. hmm. Bleh.. i dun like this.. this sux..

WHERE IS MY TAGBOARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a day!!!

In the morning i went to school to do econs project.. due on the 8th.. this is unbelievably the first meeting since the holidays.. Haha!! Actually it's quite believable.. i wouldn't even have bothered if fritzi hadn't bothered.. Haha! =p

Next, went for some camp thing by Campus Crusade for christ at.. NUS.. wah, so far. And it was raining. So i an attempt to rush from the bus stop to paya lebar mrt without getting drenched.. I DROPPED MY PHONE!!!! By the time i realised it was gone.. (I had crossed the road and reached the station), doubled back to see where it was.. it had magically grown wings and disappeared.. so there i was, standing in the rain, searching for my phone in vain. At first i was worried about the leg of my jeans getting wet as it was way too long and i was stepping on it most of the time as i walked. Now i was totally drenched.. ar.. one less thing to worry about i guess?
As a result, i had one long mrt ride from paya lebar to clementi to mourn for the would be lost phone if not for the kind soul who picked it up, called my home and arranged to meet my parents at aljunied this evening to return it!!!! THANK GOD for people like her!!! Imagine the inconvenience of losing all the contact numbers.. somemore i'm trying to organise JTS this sat.. and THANK GOD i managed to meet john without having to call him to ask where he was. That was when i called mum to tell her the bad news and received good news in return!!

Aniwaes, the conference was really good! I realised that even blogging can be a means of evagelism!!! They showed a video of this guy spreading the gospel while on a boat, cruising down a river to another boat beside him.. it's like those kinda sampan cum gandola type of boat.. and the way he was evangelising was so funny! straight to the point.. "dun believe in Jesus, ur gonna DIE" quite blunt.. but 3 of them who heard turned their hearts to Jesus after that!! super cool lah!! sheesh! GOD AT WORK man!!

On the way home it seemed that there were more couples den usual on the mrt.. initially i was leaning on the side panels beside the door.. den.. eh no. I was sitting down. Den this guy with really bad body odur sat beside me.. wah! sorry, really cannot stand it.. sour musty smell. BLEH!! so i stood up and moved away as discreet as i could. Den along came the first couple, and stood beside me. You know how couples love the side panels near the doors? er.. dun think i need to explain. So i pretended not to notice their sideway glances at me at first. But after a while, i decided that i'd give them what they wanted and moved away. I looked back and.. wah! so fast ar! already in position.. sheesh! den i noticed 2 other couples in the mrt too!! lol sorry.. got long journey.. nothing to do. Den as i was standing there trying not to stare.. a family came and stood beside me.. the mum and kids on my left, the dad on my right.. rrrrite.. so am i sposed to move away again?? OKAY.. i'm nice.. sheesh!!

WHAT A DAY!!

ARGH!!!! Can u imagine the frustration when u've been playing PS2 the whole morning and all ur characters in the game level up by 8 times liao and den suddenly die without saving! alwiuebf;OUEB!!*%#%*@(@!!! GRRRR.. stupid sia.. crap crap crap!! oh wellssssss...

Was writing christmas cards this morning.. mum was like "now den u write??"
Hehe! well, better late den never i guess? Den i received news that we gotta get gifts for our seniors on farewell which is in 4 days time.. Minus today cos relatives coming over for christmas, i have 3 days, how am i sposed to go hunt for a standard gift for over 10 ppl in such a short time!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just came to realise something... school starts on wed.. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why so fast!! And now i wish i had signed up to be an OGL. I envy elroy.. get to lead my old OG. I wanna do those stupid OG cheers again!! haha!! the fight-kill one was so vulgar! but funny.. Hehe. And den cheering sessions.. standing on the chairs helping my fellow OG mates cos i already knew most of the cheers.. seeing other VS ppl on the chairs too! Haha! Super funny. Haiz.. it feels like the year's starting all over again and i'm gg to VJ for the first time. Suddenly i think about all my OG mates.. some have gone to other JCs.. lost touch with them.. i remember gg with them to airport for dinner once.. aww.. the memories!! Shucks man.. orientation was really fun!! Mass dance!! though i still can't do a complete dance without cues.. it's still the most enjoyable part of school events i think!

Am i ready for the new year.. no way man....

One thing i need to learn.. patience. Haiz. Lay back dude, let things unfold SLOWLY. Crap lah. Aakjdvbrbvaev;owsdk eA. I mean wat's the point of rushing stuff.. take a step back and smell the roses.. yea rite.. rrrite. Haiz it's ok.. i'm still learning anyways. New year's just around the corner.. lotsa new year resolutions to make. hmm. This will definitely be included. Step back, let God take the reigns. Let him fix this stupid screwed up messed up life. Haiz.. and i thought i had it all figured out. It all goes to show how wrong we can be.

Hide me now,
Under your wings.
Cover me,
within your mighty hands.

When the oceans rise,
and thunders roar,
I will soar with you
above the storm.
Father you are king
over the flood.
And i will be still,
know you are GOD!!!!!

I kinda wonder what the new year will have instore! A levels, SYF, new juniors.. getting ready for NS. I registered liao!!Someone i know is expecting to get attached by the end of the year! LOL!! no, not me, i'm just out there to have fun and make friends.. hmm been a long time since i last saw my classmates. What happened to the sentosa trip man!! School's starting! haiz.. next hols i guess.

What's God gonna do with me next year eh? i dunno.. hey this sounds like a post suitable for the 31st dec.. not now.. haiz.. i'm bored.. ohwell. ciao

It's Christmas time!!! Time to sing about the little king, to celebrate the child in the manger. Haha today pastor Swee Kee was funny. She was critiscing the idea of santa clause and all the other no link "christmas" stuff. Don't sing Santa Clause is coming to town k? The attributes that are given to him in the song are really meant for our Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ!

Carolling sessions with the choir have been fun.. but i'm getting bored liao. Today didn't exactly feel like socialising, so i came home after the last session. Had so much stuff to carry, was in uncomfortable clothes, and need to wake up early tomorrow! Funny how i kept bumping into groups of choir ppl on my way from raffles hotel to the mrt station.. lol. All of them gg out to chill at orchard or wherever.. haha! Den as i was sitting at the station platform along came David.. Haha! He also got church early in the morn tmr so gotta go home too.

Haven't done much christmas shopping this year.. didn't do much actually.. cos i dun intend to do much more.. everyday got carolling.. no time to shop lah.. no time to be creative to think of stuff to buy for people. Actually i got no money.. lol. Maybe i should have gone to work. Haha, John so funny. I asked him if i could just wish him a merry christmas and that's it, den he was so happy and readily agreed that we won't buy each other gifts this year.. lol! Hai ya! it's not about the gifts anyway! It's about THE GIFT.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten son to die on the cross, so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16.

There's 45min to go till christams day! can i last that long? I'm falling asleep at the com already.. waiting to wish ppl merry christmas. No one's online, everyone seems to be out, partying or something. . .

Wow ! long time since i last blogged!!
*wipes away cobwebs* kk that's lame.. Hehe!

So how was sydney?? Haha!! It was great man!! Sydney itself is really cool! The aquarium there is huge!! it even has a crocodile!! and little penguins, seals, huge alaskan crabs, octopus.. jellyfish! etc. I took so many really nice pics! my cam rox! Haha! Den we took a jet boat cruise.. i love boat rides!! wohoo!! it was going so fast i couldn't breathe properly! den sunburn until like lobster.. speaking of lobster, wah the seafood there rox man!!! BUT!! i eat until sian liao.. over indulgence.. indigestion.. so ended up eating porridge or not eating at all for most of the trip.. i missed home!! and all my friends back home!! :( the trip was too long i think.. and i've been to australia so many times liao.. it's mostly the same everywhere.. wine tasting... wildlife.. but i love animals!! especially stumbling into wild ones. There was a possum scavanging the dustbin outside my apartment!! lol! Dolphin watching was really cool too! literally and figuratively.. so cool that i caught a chill and a fever after that but i still went ahead and did the go-karts! Haha!! i went so fast and the floor was slippery.. drifting and sliding all over the place but i managed to control the car and ended up doing really smooth turns!! Haha! super fun! i loved the go-karts! i did 12 laps while dad and ben only managed 8 in the same amount of time!! lol. Guess who i met at the sydney opera house! Mr Tan Ban Huat! Haha! VS combined humans teacher.. of all ppl.. haha!! small world i guess.. i met my friend's friend fr VJ at the airport too.. took the same plane home!! lol.. aniwaes, i almost got a chance to sing in the sydney opera house concert hall!!! but i was too shy.. lol.. the tour guide asked if anyone would like to test the acoustics and my dad volunteered me saying i was in the choir.. sheesh.. what if i disgraced singapore!! lol.. no thank you.. but if there weren't so many ppl watching i'd do it. Haha!! It's the sydney opera house man!!

Hmmm. so what else did i do? SHOP!!!! Haha!! the market there is really cool! got lotsa stuff!! i spent so much money there man! i think next year my ang pao will be really small.. I bought jeans, shoes, sweater, wooden craft stuff, a rifle scope, a monoloculous, a toy frog.. tiny souveniers.. wohoo!! even at the singapore airport arrival hall (after the trip) i spent another 200bucks.. lol! OH oh! we were really fortunate that the dumb tour agent made a mistake and didn't give us the correct hotel room allocation.. sposed to be 2 bedroom, they only give a 1 bedroom room.. so we suffered for one night.. but the next day, they upgraded us to a suite!!! two storey lei! super cool! and the view of the city from the 25 story! wah!! never had a hotel room that big! 2 story lei! double story!!!! got staircase!!!! =p

So aniwaes, really enjoyed this chance to relax and not worry bout anything.. but like i said.. it was a bit too long.. but nonetheless.. got a chance to see my parents working as a team to figure out the driving route (hilarious, i took a video)interact with my grandparents (they're actually a very funny pair, blur blur wan.. den when someone exp to them and they go "OH" rotfl) lol.. i really really wanna go japan though!! heard they got a new theme park!! man!!! I wanna go!!! theme parks is where i belong!! what am i doing here!! get me outa school!! lol i'll go around the world testing out new rides and attractions! lol.

Photos!!

Just came back from Malacca.. well technically not just.. but, put down bags, den went parkway for dinner.. so no time to blog until now.

So how was the Malacca trip? Pretty awesome! Haha! Learnt so much from the 3 choral clinicians there. Their all very good! I liked Dr Joshua Haberman's workshop the best though. He's one funny guy.. super nice voice!! Very good looking too, all the girls were like. . . . Haha! You imagine for yourself lah. I hope we remember what we learnt there! Den we'll really be invincible!!! Muahaha. :p Too bad on the night of our performance we were all very tired i think.. didn't give our best show. But oh wells, at least we did better than the rest.. i think! ;p sorry, i'm proud of VJChoir!

VS really disappoints me though. Time after time. Theirs sopranos really "CMI" but the tenors and basses are not bad. Maybe it's cos their teacher in-charge pissed me off so I'm inclined to be more critical of them than usual. Johnnie keep dragging me to go visit the VS block but i'm totally unenthusiastic. I only went out of boredom. I seriously think VS will die next SYF...

The design of the resort was not bad, the idea was good.. BUT. Haha! The furniture in the rooms quite bad.. my toilet door can't be locked! Shessh! And the food was not all that appetising.. good thing the meal times company made up for it. Got to konw the DSA people in these 4 days. They're really nice! Haha! Welcome to VJCHOIR!! lol. Your journey begins here. Muahaha (evil laughter) ;p But poor Mel and Jia ling fell sick.. good thing got Pao to pamper them and doctor Johnnie to the rescue.. Haha! Some pai-kia doctor.. but with effective medicine nonetheless. I think o.O

Oh! Something really interesting and stupid happened to me on the second day!!
In the morning as we boarded the bus to JustCo shopping centre (where daniel bought me a frog soon to be christened "Frodo" by Melodie)I wanted to listen to my mp3 but couldn't find it.. my pockets only contained my wallet and my phone. So i thought hmm must be in the room. But by the tinme we came back in the afternoon, I had forgotten about the Nano.. It was only until before dinner that i wanted to bring it along with me and realised it was missing!!!!! I sorta freaked-out and searched the whole room for it. My roommates even helped me search the entire appartment! Thanks Guys!! Den Shi Xuan suggested i report to the front desk. I was reluctant at first.. but i thought, what's the harm in the end. So i made a report. Den i went for lunch.. Just as i finished lunch, someone came and told me i was required at the Business centre.. "er.. okay.." And so i went. Well to cut the long story short, there was a full fledge investigation carried out by the head of security of the resort to solve the case of the missing iPod. Investigation meaning questioning the room cleaners, my roommates.. with the teachers and the tour agent present to witness and all, plus having to write out a statement to be submitted. The tour agent even wanted me to make a police report.. but i thought that's abit inconvenient lah.. dun wan. And good thing i didn't make the police report..

cos in the end Hong Sheng pulled it out of my pants pocket.. yea the nano was in my pocket all along.. HAHAHAAH!! I'm so dumb.. Hehe. Miss Sandiar wanted to kill me personally but decided to leave me to the mercy of my roommates. LOL!! Naturally news like this spreads like wild fire and more people than i would have liked came to know about my blunder. Everytime i walk pass any member of the organising committee for this festival they'll ask me where's my iPod in a mocking way.. They even offered to take a picture of me and frame it up or something.. Hehe! I'm famous.. ;p Den everytime the choir assembles to move on to another place, the teachers will remind the choir to take care of their belongings and specifically highlight iPod Nanos.. ;( Whatever lor.. who ask them make such slim iPods which i can't feel through my pants pockets.. ;p

Well i guess that's the highlight of this trip. So exciting right! Haha!! Now i'm aqquainted with the teachers too.. which isn't necessarily a good thing.. for example, now Mr Kan keeps reminding me to get a haircut.. dotz.. and my answer is always the same.. when sch reopens!!

Speaking of aquaintences.. i'm really happy to have made new friends in choir! Now got something extra to look forward to in choir. I'm gonna miss them when i go on holiday! Haha!! which is in 1 day plus' time!! Sydney here i come!! Wohoo!!!!!

After months of hardwork PCC has finally come and gone. Now that it's finally over, I really wish we could do it again. Seeing the crowd, the applause. Singing our hearts out, taking on the character and personality of a different person. LOL dunno who say i sing until very emmo! Haha!! I take that as a compliment. Hehe!! Just hope that whoever came enjoyed the concert, and for those who couldn't make it.. well, perhaps there'll be a second chance for you to catch Les Miserables by VJChoir!! Mum and Ben couldn't make it.. only dad came.. oh wells.

Malacca this mon with choir. My lauggage is huge.. Haha! Kia Su. But need to bring choir costume wat.. wat to do.. bring big bag lor =p

After that, rest one day, den Sydney!!!!!!!!!! Wohooo!!! Seafood here I come! Haha!

Today Miss Lau call me, scolded me for not returning the Vests quickly.. dotz, as if it's my fault lah.. just because she has my contact no. den she must call me and scream. Stupid woman. If i go deaf in one ear, i'll sue her man. I wasn't the one who suggested borrowing VS vests, I wasn't the one who borrowed them, neither am I the one in charge of distributing and collecting the vests, i totally got no idea what's going on, and you call me to scold me, just because your first choice, Johnnie Ang has fled to KL and left me as his scapegoat.. thanks much? In the end, I did her a favour by going all the way back to school, grabbing the huge bag of vests which i did not know about, and lugging it all the way to VS to return it to them.

Badminton todae, lol 3 ppl, 3 courts. Haha!! ended up running around and dodging shuttlecocks.. Haha! Fun! Fun! reach home 9 plus after dinner, den went to pick up my mum from her school. Brought cookie for car ride, on the way up, she pee-ed in the lift.. sheesh! Sickening white dog. Excited until like that.. lol.

rar, i still got stuff to pack.
