i need to mug more!

Ok, yesterday evening I went to join my cousins in their chalet cos of Freddy's bday celebration. I didn't even know! But who cares? And can you believe it?! I went in the midst of my mid-years! That's like the last thing I should do. But I went lah, cos my mom was like nagging me to go -__- Ate a lot of yummy BBQ food! The younger cousins were always laughing at my jokes. Yay! Photos!


















Was dead beat when I got home and I went to sleep without bathing and all that. Hehe..

So, in the morning, was doing A.maths till now! I hope I'll be able to do most of the questions for tomorrow's paper :S And I hope I can get something better than an E8 for Chinese! My mom is now asking me to go out for dinner. Urgh. But anyway, I've been doing 50 sit-ups everyday before I sleep! Woohoo!

Ok, time to do MORE work. It'll be all over soon!

Exams...

































My "family" haha. I miss hanging out :(

So, after SYF, what have I been doing recently? STUDYING! Can't thing of anything else. Well, at least now I'm relaxing here for awhile. You know, I can't possibly be studying forever right? I must balance play and work :D

Anyway, had English Oral Prelims earlier on! Wasnt mentally prepared at all but things went smoothly! I think it's my best oral ever! Had the chance to use words people won't commly use. Hoho. The examinar was giggling at times when I was talking. I wonder why o.O

I wish: To be good at A.Maths... And also learn to be secure towards myself. No more breakdowns please.
Guess I won't be blogging for a few days! Tata!

SYF CENTRAL JUDGING 2007

BBSS CHOIR ACHIEVED A SILVER AWARD!

If you're asking me how I feel about the result, I'm actually very happy and relieved to get a Silver! :D Yes, I did expect a Gold but after performing, I felt it wasnt attainable cos we had some pitching problems and my voice vibrating too much due to nervousness. LOL. Anyway, shall start from the warm-ups...

We had our warm-ups at some outdoor sheltered area near VCH. We also had a mini run through. Just in front of us was the road and a few tour buses drove past. It was hilarious! All the foreigners staring at us as if we're some tourist attraction. Haha, not only that, some foreign passerbys took our their camera and started taking photos of us! One had a video camera too! It was soooo funny! xD

While approaching the holding area, other choirs kept staring at us. I was telling all my juniors, (pretneding to tell the other choirs)"Stare what stare?! Never seen a Gold choir before issit?" Haha. Ok, it was meant to be funny. I was just trying to make the tensed moment calm.

Just moments before performing, we tried as much to be as calm as possible. Finally, it was our turn. I don't about the others, but I know I smiled and enjoyed myself the best I could. But the solo part with Liling, was horrible! Our voices were both shivering! Hmm, but overall I think it was ok. We were out of pitch at some areas but we went back! Woohoo!

We went back to school. And then, went back to VCH again to collect results. LOL. On the way, I ate KFC with some of the gals. Haha, I decided to eat cos I wanted to rush home after results. Did not eat fried food for a LONG time already. Haha. A week is a long time :P

So ya, ya, ya. Let's go to the result part. Most of the judges were foreigners! Some were from World Youth Choir! Means their judging is of a cetain standard! Then, the person started announcing the results. A total of 20 choirs performed today. We were the 8th. Before us, there were many COP and Bronzes. I was devistated. I was telling Liling that I'm not surprised if we get a Bronze. On the split second where the person said, "S...." I was relieved!! Even though it wasnt a Gold, I think it was very good already. Among the 20 choirs, there were only 1 Gold which was after us and 1 Gold with Honuors award. About 5-7 choirs only got Silver, mostly autonomous school.(thats how i compare things actually. tsktsk.)

Yay, I'm so happy! I finally can not worry about SYF anymore. Now, I can fully concentrate on my studies! Whoopee! This season has been really hard, coping with various things. Now, I'm free! HOORAY FOR CHOIR! :D Thanks people, for your never ending support. I really appreciate it..

choir

TOMORROW IS THE DAY!

I know tomorrow most of you would have a super ordinary day at school. But for me, my school choir would be performing at the SYF central judging at Victoria Concert Hall! This really means a lot to me. Achiving an award proves the choir's status. I want to do my best before I graduate.

Come to think of it, choir did made a big difference in my life. For example, the chance to be a sectional leader like marking attandance, scolding people who sing softly, remind people who sings out of tune, planning camps, organising concerts, conducting the choir(a little), leading warm-ups, giving announcments and many more! Not forgetting the people I get to meet there too! :D

For my 5 years in choir I have seen all my juniors growing up. Especially the current sec3 batch, I was a new leader when they were just recuits. Now, they're gonna be new leaders! I hope they'll lead BBSS choir to greater heights!

Will write more when we have our passing down ceremony :D OK, I'm off to work!







































We've been training very hard since December! Singing the 3 songs over and over again! We went through a lot together, the good times and the bad times. I still remember the scolding sessions from Ms Seah. Haha. So all the best! Enjoy performing! No.1 achievement: Dont regret! Perform the best!

A series of events

I thought the day would be normal but it was packed, from one event to another. Let's just start from Friday.. Had PE. Some of us were doing shuttle run. And when it was my turn, rats! I fell onto the ground. Everyone was laughing at me, including myself. My PE teacher called me "rolling stones" at that moment and it has been a nickname for me since then. Got a lil bruise on my palm. Thank God. If it was a scar on my face, that's it! Teacher sprayed that cooling thing onto my wound and it was so painful! But now, I'm well, kicking and alive!

For math lesson, was kinda slacky. Really appreciate it. Math teacher showed us some clips in class. We were laughing most of the time. But never laugh until I cry leh :( I like that feeling. HAHAHAHA. Soon, she told us to pack our bags and head to the canteen. Apperently, our 2 dear form teacher gave us a chicken wing and drink treat for the project "second chance" thing! Thanks a lot!! We toasted 3 times. Yes, let's believe we'll do well in our exams and mantain the class spirit!! :D I decided not to eat the fried part of the wing so Thahirah ate the skin away, leaving the meat! Ate 3 in total! Yummy. Oops :P

After that, I settled some choir stuff and saw Wanting and JiaHui outside the staff room. They wanted to ask Mr Quek some Physics questions and I joined in! Sishi was there too!! Asked everything that I was uncertain.. Consultation rocks! I want more! Hehe. They left, I was there doing A.Math all alone. These days I've been hanging around outside the staff room to study! Even though noisy, I think its a condusive environment for me! Similiar to Mac's noise level but without one distraction... FOOD. Haha, which is good!

Mom came to school and we headed to CCK cemetary with one of my gu jies. Visited my grand dad and grand ma. Of couse both lah! If not waste my trip. But something happened... I saw a lizard each near both of my grand parent's grave! AHHHH! Probably they were both trying to play a prank on me -___- Jokes aside, I enjoyed that visit. I think I really gotta visit as often as possible, just to show that you remember them. I believing they're now in heaven enjoying themselves.

This morning had the LAST choir practice. Things were ok. Pitching, presentation and speed were ok. Woohoo! Jo came to show support! I was tearing when the we had the final talk. I feel that we had already done our part. Now, let God do the rest. I really, really pray that God will bless us! I really desire to achieve a Gold. Even our conductor gave us the assurance that we can get a Gold. Can you imaging if we didn't get? I promise you, that I'll cry no matter what. Gold, too good, like how I cried over my N level results. HAHA. Silver and below, also cry cos didn't achieve what we wanted. Bring tissue for me alright? :D

Had cellgrp meeting and service. Woo! Fellowshipped with Jing Wei. Went to Raffles City. Ate Subway for dinner and _______ :D Shared a lot in common like theatre plays! Finally I found a theatre freak like me! Looking forward to watching plays together with her!

Yup, that's all, tomorrow's plan, do math, dnt and physics.

I LOVE CHOIRR!!

Stress

4 MORE DAYS TO SYF CENTRAL JUDGING FOR BBSS CHOIR

I am starting to feel it right now!! *stress* Today for practice I actually forgot the duet part *faints* Our conductor's other choirs had already performed and got their results... A Gold and 2 Bronzes. The Bronzes looks scary cos they were previously Silver choirs. Main reason, pitching problem. It's actually kinda hard to keep in and notice the right pitch when singing acapella. Especially for me cos when I sing the highest notes of the song, I feel this discomfort in my throat and sometimes can't reach it. Ahhhh! Well, I think I really gotta pray that it'll go smoothly! We dont wanna let BBSS down. But I think my presentation rocks. WHOOPS!! Think skin-ness.

Was doing A.Math for like 3 hours? Hoho, feel so sastisfied. But I'll do more later! :D Mid-year coming.. I don't wanna fail any subject! I believe I can do like 10 times better after being released from choir. Meanwhile, still coping between work and choir. And I didn't attend POS practice today. Real sorry! :( I just need the good rest and comfort to do my work.

Hmm, today Chinese teacher called me out of the class and tried to talk to me. I didn't do much though. Just whispered to Sishi way before greeting her(notice the word WAY, not JUST BEFORE). Outside class, she expected me to say what I did wrong then only she'll allow me in. I just quietly shrugged my shoulders. It made me felt as if I was the student with the worst attitude in class because of, whispering? I'm just venting my anger out here and will appreciate if you don't comment. Thank you.

Rushing my D and T too! Yay, I'll have all afternoon tomorrow before my fully packed Saturday! JIA YOU BBSS CHOIR! WE'RE ALMOST THERE! AFTER THAT, WE'RE FREE!! :DD

Changes

Woo, new blogskin. I feel new blogskin means a higher level of language! Give me some more time to work on it though. I don't have much computer hours. Today, I was reminded of time management. Looks like I gotta start pia-ing now!! 2 hours of study a day is NOT enough. I wanna 4 hours! Must plan, must plan, hohoho. And eventually, 7 hours a day! Fun!

Attended the Prefects' Investiture today(like duh, its part of assembly). New leaders in BBSS. Will they keep up that standard or bring it down? Pardon me for being bias, BOYS?!! A bit of doubt. I know it's evil for me to say that but I think girls are much better in handling stuff. Heeeh! Prefects, hmph. So much for setting a good example. Weeks ago, Wanting and myself told off a prefect cutting queue while buying food in the canteen. He gave that excuse that he had prefect duty so he needed to eat quickly -____- There are other stalls which have lesser people. Anyway, if you're a prefect, please bother to make the sacrifice. Btw, he was probably too guilty to offend us and walked away sulking. Looks like the big korkors and jiejies in the school are the ones who really set the example. NOT! :D

I seriously can't wait for SYF to come to past. (6 MORE DAYS!)I wanna be free from choir and study all the way! My classmates have all ben released from their CCA except me! But at least I still can cope. Which means after being released, I can do much better! Woots. Was abit dishearted when I failed my Permutation and Combination test. I believe after choir, I WILL excel in my studies! Maria has not used her full power yet.

A pictorial update of me...(I seem to be not photogenic these days :/)

Red eye.




















Easter Carnival

































My girl! :D *pinch cheeks*

Esplanade

Have been going to the Esplanade halls for two consecutive days already! One theatre hall and one concert hall. Still couldent get over yesterday where I was watching The Phantom Of The Oprea. The play was magnificient! I wish I can watch it someday again. Anyway, this musical started out my passion in singing! The coustumes were colourful and pretty. The dances were all in sequence! The cast was simply, great!! Not only that, I think the crew did a wonderful job in the props and all that. They're just so creative in converting an empty stage into something so beautiful.

Today in school I kept thinking of the song, "All I ask of you". I could recall years back my dad asked the pianist in the main foyer of Super Star Leo to play the song just for me!! Won't it be romantic if my future spouse will be able to sing the song together with me? Hehehe. The play also reminded me the times I spent in London. Very hard to describe lah, you have to feel it.

After school I stayed back to finish my homework before heading down the Esplanade to watch the AJC choir! Was the mainly to support a good buddy of mine, Josephine. The choir was awesome. The actions in most of the songs didnt distract them at all. (for my choir, it does. hahaha) I think Josephone had the best presentation, smiling as sweetly throughout the whole concert :D Well done! I miss performing! Boohoo! I also really miss Jo, still remember that we would be working with each other to help the choir and all that. Now, we've gone seperate ways :(

Ok, I better go to sleep. BYEE!!

Powerful Weekend

No weekend can be more powerful than this. Benny Hinn's service was tremendous! Really worth all the 3 hours queuing up and the 2 hours waiting inside the hall. For Friday had to leave halfway :( But it was alright, cos I felt the presence of God strongly when we sang the worship songs. A handful of the people were not members of my church. Yet, they were so expressive while praising and worshipping God.

Well for Saturday, God presence was even stronger! Stayed throughout so I expirenced everything! After the Word, we stood up worshipping God again. From where I stood, I saw people who were on wheelchairs standing up walking by faith! It touched my heart deeply as these people had so much faith in God believing that they would get healed. And yes, they did. Sharing live testimonies about healing was kinda rushing as we were heading to another flow. We had a huge Holy Spirit time. Many fell under the power of God. The move of God was like never before! Something so unexplainable.

After service we were sharing about our personal encounters. I'm glad that all of you were blessed! Had supper at ________ about 12. Woohoo! It's been a long time since I had late night supper.

Pity, unable to come for today's service. Because, I'M WATCHING THE PHANTOM OF THE OPREA TONIGHT! Like finally! When I was 7, didnt have the chance to watch as the ticketing officer said I was under age. But I watched "Starlight Express" instead which was super cool! :D But 10 years later, I'm finally watching the play live! Woohoo!

But before that, I'm going to do work. Hohoho!

BAGUITA BACK TO LIFE

Okay, have been catching up with my homework these few days... It would have been better if I didnt lose my books!! ARGH! Right now, I think I have to buy and REDO all of them. I told Gao lao shi that I lost the ti jie and was close to tears anyway, woooh, she didnt scold me. In fact she was like worried. But I wonder if she'll really go and help me get an extra book! Haaah! Have not told Mr Quek that I lost my Physics TYS. How will his reaction be like? The D and T teachers and staff were very nice, keeping a lookout for my books. Could feel that they were worried for me too :D

Just came back from studying at JP. Was very fruitful as I did my homework! Hooray! Studied with Miss Yeo and daughter. Yes, I have a daughter now! Daughter, you have not send me the photo of us yet!! Before that, we went to see Roysten off as he'll be going to the army! We'll all miss you, Roysten... ESPECIALLY MEEE!! :\ All the best in NS :DD

Choir choir choir again. Most of the CCAs have finished their competition. I totally forgot about today's morning practice! When singing the National Anthem, I suddenly remembered and exclaimed. Urgh. Sorry guys! Practice with conductor tomorrow! The last few practices are always very important! So make good use of them! After SYF, I'll show the world how clever I am! MUAHAHHA ;D

Benny Hinn's coming this weekend.. I would like to share. Have you ever seen the power of God? Well, miracle healing will take place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Two years back, I saw with my own eyes many miracles like the blind able to see, deaf able to hear, people on the wheelchair able to stand up and walk and many many more! It's really something you MUST see with your own eyes to believe. God is indeed real in this world. If you're interested, do approach me personally. It'll be a turning point in my life this weekend :D How about yours?

I'm exciteddddd!

Happy Birthday to me

Yes, it is my birthday today! *celebrates* Kidding. Today's Apr 10 and my bday falls on Oct 4. Well, this insurance agent would every year, without fail send me a bday card on Apr 10. Wow, so much for being an insurace agent who tries to be nice sending her client a bday card. But you got the dates mixed up! *shake head*

Woo, finished my work. But not all. And you know why?! I lost my books during DandT lesson. Sian, I really want them back. Wanna do my Chinese!! Urgh. I'm very worried. Cos if I really lose them, I need to buy the books again and they do not come in cheap!

Ok, time to sleep, will be missing lessons till 12noon as I have VCH rehearsal. Sigh. After SYF, it'll all be over!! I'll be FREE! Woohoo! :D

PUBLIC HOLIDAY = NO PUBLIC HOLIDAY

Ya, ya, ya. Tomorrow morning I know most of you guys would be switching on the TV or still sleeping in bed or spending time with your family for breakfast. For me? I have to attend enrolment service! Seriously, I wonder who planned it to fall on a public holiday. You think I live my life only for CCA!??!? Urgh. Nevermind, shall not say more. Anyway, I'm really taking the effort to come so please dont trigger my boiling point. Thank you.

Saturday morning I'm having choir practice too. Urgh. But that one cannot say. Saturday is not a public holiday. In a way I feel very proud because my juniors wanted to have a Sat practice. Looks like they're really focused. Hope the judges wont let us down.. Haaahh!

Think I'm free on the timing and days I didnt mention? Think again. It's Easter weekend :) So yup, loads of travelling and time used. Of course, in a great way!!

Had POS gathering today. Woohoo! Missed all the people there. Got to know new people. Kinda passive but in no time, I'm sure they'll feel included. Heehee. Dont wanna get last anymore. Boohoo. So jia you!!

Expand my capacity, please.

BAGUITA NEEDS A BREAK

I seriously need to blog, to circulate my mind if not I'll go crazy. Ah-ha-ha-ha. Well was doing maths today. During maths period, after school in class and during the sports day events! The whole bunch of 4E and 5N were studying at one corner for the first half. It was a cool and windy weather to study. I looked down once in awhile to see the people running. For the 2nd half, I borrowed Timothy's gameboy to play astro boy. Hoho, fun!! After a period of time, I grew sick of the game and started hanging out with the other peeps chilling. It wasnt hard communicating as we had a common topic to share xD Wanted to go home so I shouted across the stadium(but not many heard me) that I wanted to go home. They were delaying lah. Esp when announcing the results. Was so obvious the Lewis was the winning house and the commentator asked us to guess -____- I kept shouting "FASTER LEH!" I was high and did a couple of humerous stuff which made my company laugh. HeeHee!!



Sports day was enjoyable but it made me too tired. Not forgetting I have choir practice tomorrow. Urgh. But hooray for the public holiday on Friday! Gives me time to study. Woots! Hope I wont be too busy. Need to rush A LOT on my D and T too. I have been a little stagnant in my folio. Oops.



Okie! Shall sleep early tonight!! :D And I wont blog so often. Heehee.(always say, never do)

Photo update of me...
SuBing and I :D

The 4 of us... Made this hamper for BB home for the aged. Woohoo! So into CIP these days xD

Never judge a person by their outer apparence or status

But, look into their heart and there'll be many nice things about that person you've yet to discover! :D I chanced upon this particular person whom the people around me "despised" her which created a negative(abit) feeling inside of me towards her... Got to really know more about her recently and it's totally different from what my friends had said! If not for Phoebe, things would have been quite different. GAHHHHH. Thanks for being someone who feels interested about me. It's really the small words that you say that make a big difference in my life :DD We'll be seeing more of each other, wont we? :)

Wondering why am I online? Oops. Well, been self studying for about 2 hours plus plus due to the absence of 2 teachers. Which means self-studying in class like crazy. And yesterday, studying till 6pm in school. *faints* So, really do need a break. Besides, tomorrow's sports day. I guess I'll be bringing my books to study since I'm not involved in any events. YAY!!!!! I did want to be in the finals but then again, I was mentally stressed and would back out if I was selected. Thank God I wasnt. WHOOPEE! Which means I can ____ tomorrow too!

Choir practice was moving to another level where we were splitted into smalll groups or 8 or 9, singing in open space. Which means students will get to hear us. Felt very happy as they showed support while we were practising by looking at us or clapping once we finish our songs. Hahaha. But still in doubt if we can get our well-visualised, GOLD. Well, that depends if I did pray for choir a not xD

While doing a whole series of E.Maths papers given by Ms Ngiam, I kept chanting to myself, "Why did I get a B3?" Even though I have been really encouraged, agony was still inside me. Looks like I have not totally recorved from that bad fall. But I'm still trying my best to get through it :D

How many can I touch this weekend??

Not-so-April Fools Day

Spent my whole day at home doing homework plus using the computer :D The internet seems to lack nothing so I can be actually sitting here for tens of hours. I wonder who decided to put a computer with internet access in my room. My dad, my brother or me? Thanks to them (or me), I think I have been evolved into a computer psycho! Now I know why my brother was glued to his computer in his secondary school days. Arghhh! Interesting enough, I wont have the urge to use the computer in the midst of my exams. Yay!

Yarh, I thought I was an outgoing, sociable person. I didnt have any friends to go out with today. Actually not really, wanted to stay at home to study! I could have studied more if only I wasn't that engaged with the computer. THAT'S IT! I'm setting some rules now here!

Maria can only use the computer only from 9pm to 11pm. She MUST sleep by 11.30pm. She is permitted to read books or watch TV when she's bored. BUT NOT USE THE COMPUTER!! (only applies for the weekdays. give me time to think about weekends :D)

So people, do help me k. It takes 3 weeks to change a habit. So the 3 coming weeks will be hard for me!

Just now in the evening, I went to west mall with my parents. The main motive was to get a new line for my dad and upgrade my plan for a new phonee! Yes my dad got his pre-paid line but I didnt get any phone. Sad isnt it? IT HAS BEEN THE 3RD TIME ALREADY. I felt I wasnt ready to own a new phone yet. What kind of a feeling is that?! Prolly I need some counselling. AH-HA-HA-HA-HA.

Time to wach my diet again. You cant blame me. Blame my mom. I have been REALYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY well fed under her care. If only I were the "eat a lot wont get fat" kind. Dream on! Sian.

Gonna be really busy the next few weeks! Next week, Easter. The week after, Benny Hinn. Then, SYF competition! And it just goes on and on. Not forgetting emerge's POS and Chinese O level! Then, the BIG move! Plus I need to finish up my DandT artefact. But I like it! Expands my capacity!

There, my not so April Fools Day. "Fun", isnt it?? -___-
