Decided to update abit since i'm like quite brain dead after trashing econs into my brain. Got a test tmrw on oligopolyyy. So far, i've been understanding market structure quite well, understand the concepts and all. But when it comes to source-based questions, i dunno how to apply these concepts. Lol. had a test on MC last week and i got 7/15! haha so proud of myself pls. in fact, nik and i were so happy cos its the first time we passed econs (an E is a pass okay...). The rest of our econs tests are like 3/15 or 2/15. Yeaa at least for me lah, not too sure about hers. so yea, we shall work harder!!
So anyway..choreo for choir national day song is finished! wasn't too difficult in the end..but we definitely need more polishing. lol! And seriously, teaching GUYS (as in, literally..male) how to dance is like..torture. No joke, short attention span and they GIGGLE at everything. Oh well, at least the learnt the steps.

Wen minn came over to swim and tan! Okay, so she got the tan and i didnt. what's new huh! She came over str8 after MY school ended. Changed damn fast after we suddenly heard thunder. Rushed down to cold storage to buy drink and chips! Enjoy life... Came back, the sun was still shining so we were two happy gals. Swam, ate and chat. like so tai tai lah! Rained abit, but we just sat under the umbrella, since we were alr wet so didnt really care. swam, ate and chat somemore b4 washing up.
Went back to PL for "homecoming". Hahaha some thanksgiving dinner/service for my batch. Felt so good to be back in that school, though its only a holding school, but it was where i spent my last year of secondary school!! So touching..
22/07
This day was quite terror. Meet the parents sessions after our mid-year results. Wow. it was quite okay i guess, not much compains from Mr Tan or i would have screamed. Band concert at night. Jap band from Meidan High School is ULTRA GOOD!!! It was spectecular man..enjoyed the concert with jun kai and yi cheng.
27/07
My most stressful day. Or actually, it shd be the day b4 tt was super stressful. This was how my day (27/07) went. Had lessons until 4 plus, had my chem re-test. Short break followed by rehearsel for national day which turned out quite retarded. Rushed down to church for musician practice which ended at nearly 10. It was a whole day running. And hence, why the stress? Because, the day before, i had to chiong all my hmwk for tt day as well as the next. It was scary..like a thousand things i tell you. Ugh! Oh well, thank God for His sufficient strength, i was "saved".
28/08
missed one lesson to go back TTSH for a jab. It's freaking stupid because i travel all the way from PASIR RIS TO NOVENA. It's like more than an hour okay! And when i reach there, it takes less than 5 seconds to stuff that needle and medicine into my skin and then i'm off. Spastic right. At least i had something to look 4ward to after the jab...watched The Lakehouse!! Something quite interesting happened in the cinema. Was sitting at the side seats of the cinema, so there were like 3 seats there and my friend and i only took up two. So i was saying
"I hope nobody sits next to me"
"Wont have lah, who watches a movie alone?"
"have! i've heard of it before"
"So odd to watch movie alone lor"
The next thing we knew, this big fat guy came to sit next to me. Okay, it didnt really matter if he was big or fat but the fact that he came to watch The Lakehouse by himself was really..ODD. And for goodness sake, he was actually laughing and snorting to himself. i was freaked out. So anyway, the show was a-okay, quite draggy at some parts but overall not bad. The company you watch with also counts lah =)
30/07
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PARTNERRR!! I love you loads. THANKS for the whole of last year sitting next to me, listening to me whine and having to wake me up each time i fell aslp during lessons!! I'll never forget those days :)
Today's band for both services was the same cos it was the last week of the youth month. so had something different. Tiringgg playing for both services man.. no stamina! hahaha but it was good. God's presence
---------------------------------------------
Rights, back to school tmrw for another long week! Oh look, racial harmony! I LOVE YOU GALS! you guys make life in MJ so MUCH more exciting =)
*Sometimes i wished beautiful things could come to a standstill. But i realized as we move along, more wonderful things come our way*
Every minute with you is heart-melting

Hmm..i have no idea what i'm excited about actually. I just feel like it's a new me? i feel changed by God just recently. It feels like a sudden surge of power & all-new strength from Him. Thank you Lordd!!
I'm looking at life in a different perspective now. LEarning to prioritize things tt are going on in my life. Between God and Studies as well as Family. I think i'm getting there =) Things have been going rather smoothly this week and I'm sure it's gonna continue to be like that cos "Lord, i'm putting my trust in You". Many things to do:
1. Cheoro for choir National Day medley
2. Triton + Callisto publicity
3. HMWK!
4. Concerns over a certain someone
5. Project Work
I think right now the first 2 are like the most rush ones and impt. But yea, i can do it! Believe believe.
As for no.4, sigh. sometimes why i put myself in situations where i'm overy concerned for someone, but all u get is "mind your own business"/ "i don't need your help". Of course, they wouldn't say it so directly. But yea get the idea. Maybe i just shdn't get too "emotionally attached". Haha
Rightys, not gonna blog about everyday of the week lah. Would be wayy too much. Just praying for a safe and good week ahead. A lvl chinese listening on tuesday afternoon. Aiyos, must focuss! Or else....do badly again. Hehe. +)
Isit true that things may start off well, but the ending always turns out bad? I don't want a bad ending to this.

So anyway, i forgot to update about what happened on friday!! Apart from getting back the oh-so-terrible results, i spent my afternoon with Allison in...CHINATOWN! Yea, imagine one young lady and a me in school uniform jalan-ing Chinatown. It's gonna be our favourite hang out pls.
Anyway, we took a train there. Weather was supa hot when we reached there. So we were in Chinatown Point and i received a msg from Irene telling me the different shops we could go to find the beads for sophia's farewell present. So there was this shop called "Golden Dragon" and we were so fascinated by the name, we said it so loud..like "GOLDEN DRAGON?? where is that man..." and this woman walking past us replied our (supposed to be rhetorical) question. " Golden Dragon ah? Tt's at People's Park Point. Cross the overhead bridge...down the stairs..." and so on. It was hilarious. The place was kinda quiet at that time, so no surprise she could hear us. Put Allison and I together..loads of noise.
So anyway, we had lunch first at S11. Ah peh ah mah everywhere. Lol!! Quite satisfying lunch. Walked into the different shops that Irene recommended, compared prices in every shop. Hahaha my memory is damn pathetic. Went to OG to walk ard, while waiting for Irene to end work! Yea, she was coming to meet us. Give us consultation on what type of beads to buy.
So yea, in the mean time, went to the coffeeshop to get a drink. We talked SO much pls. Lol! Watermelon juice for me, apple juice for her. Wah, our first sip was like magical. Haha Irene came at ard 5 plus. Bought the beads and stuff, waited for eujin to come fetch us to joann's place for dinnerR!
SUMPTUOUS! Yea, Joann cooked dinner for us =) Italian style. Wooohooo! Spent the time there talking and talking and screaming occasionally? haha i was bullied the whole night. hahaha so anyway, watched abit of TV then Irene n EJ gave us a lift home. As usual lah..they can be my 2nd god-parents or maybe Nannies?? okay enough.
So friday was spent rather well. Good company. loved it. Weekend was a-okay as well, apart from the PW pangsai. no other words to describe lah. Off to dinner now! i can smelll ittt!!!
we're communicating much better now. maybe its just how i feel on my part. one is left to wonder the fascinating ups-&-downs of our lives.

I've yet to craft the survey questions. Oh wait, i've not even done my research yet!!! Okay, then i gotta conduct the survey and maybe do some interviews. Like HELP, i dunt even know exactly what the project is about because our GPP has yet to be confirmeddd!!!
Omg. freaking freaking out!!
Over one weekend, i'm supposed to finish survey. And the bloodeh EOM is due on tuesday. AND THEN there's GP project. One week to complete it. ONE WEEK. like WHAT?! Then there's choir that will take up the whoollleeee day on tuesday and wednesday.
And I've gotta scout chinatown and who-knows-where for a fren's farewell tmrw. Then there's alr a planned dinner at joann's place tmrw night. So there goes friday..Sat! Devoting the entire day to PW alr.
Yamcha-ing on sunday with the pple from the church grp. then there's the JG vs MG match that i alr promised quek i would go and "support". Man, i might have to give tt a miss if i'm not done conducting interviews/surveys. Damn!
Oh did i mention we're getting like Math and Chem papers back tmrw. Which is soooo wrong. It's like doom day or smth. I think these few weeks are just gonna be havocc!! like big time.
i hate this.
ANYWAY on a lighter note. was on the phone with a fren last night and he was telling me bout a grp of pple who just started a small grp to pray. They were following some 40 days fasting thing. Yea so i joined them tdy. Read thru some notes that were given, then spent time praying for Singapore and the school. Oh and malaysia too! haha cos we had a malaysian with us =p
He was also sharing with me about his "reading bible experience"? Haha so after we finished talking, i just took out my bible and realized i haven been reading my bible that often. Bad i know. So without any devotion material or whatever, i just flipped thru here and there and came to the book of James and the first chpt was on trials and temptations. Cool huh. I mean, it was totally what i needed at that time. So yea, thank you God and to you-know-who-you-are.
Waiting for some meeting to start. Blahh did i mention i'm blogging in the school library. Whoo. outta here!

I thought there were some things i could have learnt from you. Learning how to ignore what pple said about me (those negative ones/just stuff i didnt wanna hear), not bothering bout what the latest gossips were. Even the idea of i-looking-so-stupid-standing-here-in-orchard-alone was swept off, simply becos there were so many ocassions that i had to be waiting. I thought these were good, but they proved not to be "in the long run".
The more i didnt wanna hear bout certain things, the more they kept coming. The more i kept to myself, the more self-centred i became. Where was the times when i could be so concerned/worried for a friend that i could cry? Now it's all become "i dun give a damn". WHAT'S wrong with me?
Maybe what some of my close friends said about me is true. I don't have a life. I shun away from almost everything, now to the extend that there's always a chance for me to just go out and chill with my friends. Curfews that i hafta obey, my own stand on where we go to chill, the pple i hang out with. The irony: what got me thinking about all this was becos a 3 grps of friends asked me out tdy and i turned everyone of them down. Sad huh? I had my reasons this time. But how bout the rest of the times? Was i really plain busy with studying or whatsoever or what?
Sometimes i just want time to pass fast, allow me to finish my 2 yrs in college, then fly off to some deserted island. Re-discovering who i really i am.
Family's here. Friends are here as well. Life's good. I dunno what I'm lacking, seriously. It's not that i dun feel blessed, or that I'm ungrateful for everything God has so wonderfully provided me with. Perhaps it's just something that has gotta do with me. A mind so clouded.
Perhaps it's just time to get right with God.
