Went to HC today for council meeting. I reached at like 2 when the meeting was supposed to start at 3. Hung around and felt awkward. Will make a note not to reach so early next time. haha. anyway. I SAW YUFEI:D shall quote from her blog:

Anyway, HUI YAN CAME TO HC TODAYYYYYY!MOMG hui yan!!!I havnt seen you for like, YEARS??!!Felt super duper jidong when I saw her and she is as usual, cool and totally calm about it HAHA.The rj uniform is... as much as I don't want to admit, flattering. Hahaha drastic change from Hongzi eh? I still love hongzi best!Whoo nanyang!:D *digress*

It was raining cats and dogs and the thunder sounded like slapsticks. (The percussion band instruments) People with weak hearts sure cannot take the sound one. Hahaha er yeah anyway, we talked for around 10 mins and then she had to go to meet other people ): But it's okay, we'll get to see each other again on monday for NY prize presentation!YAY!

Hui Yan says she misses me as her deskmate!ME TOO!We used to talk and talk and talk every lesson. Talk about anything,everything. Gossips, general knowledge, FOOD(haha I remember there was once we talked for 1 hour about food during KT's geog lesson), teachers, personal life, mugging life, family life. Aiya you name it, we did it. And the best thing is, after all these talking we still had our good grades. :D

AHH yufei's still the same haha. and im apparently cool and calm as always. HAHA. we really talked about alot alot of things. Personally I'm not too sure about the mugging part. Probably she talked and I listened. or I complained that I should mug more. haha! We didn't take a photo! Nevermind next week when we go back to NY for prize presentation can camwhore. hahaha. YUFEI I MISS YOU ALOT and I'm glad you're having such a fun time at HC :D

Had meeting with Aileen Elaine Lishian Gwen Marianne. Laughed like shit when we were thinking about the theme. Elaine Tan really hasn't changed haha! and Happy Birthday Gwen!:D meeting ended in about an hour and I went home. 852 just drove past me. gosh. so had to wait for another one. saw Leona! She's going for some global scholars competition next week. So smart. =)

There's PE tomorrow! Hope we do something fun. and there's YO too:D however there's a harmony test that Im not too sure about. hmph.

8:57 pm

Today, one happy thing happened to me.

had tough PE today but was quite fun I guess. havent had a workout for ages. After school Shusi and I walked around J8 before going home. :)

shall sleep before 12 tonight. what an accomplishment!

10:49 pm

today was a fun day i guess. Woke up late, left school early, swam, had piano lesson.

yesterday spent the whole day around marina square/esplanade with ben and tedson again. was quite fun haha.

this week, i feel is generally not a good week. Am only looking forward to YO and seeing my council mates on wed:D boo to school!

12:16 am

my first picture with braces:D

Went to causeway point to watch Step Up 2 with Deborah Qingyi Rachel Alex Davin. The movie was not too bad I guess, but chemistry between the two leads were lacking. The dancing was focused on mainly the streets as compared to the first one. I think the first one might have been better=) qingyi left and we met gerald before going to checkpoint for pool. My pooling skills seriously deproved. Jackie and Norman joined us later. Ate at the hawker centre. Everyone was being accomodating of my braces. so nice :D learnt so many things! gossip and all. haha.

Today went for YO super early. Sipei's TO SL! yay. am very happy for her:D Talked to David, then went over to prata place with tedson benjamin yuze. Saw sipei when we were walking back. Talked to her and was late for rehearsal as a result haha. After rehearsal me ben yuze shufang and tedson visited ms yeo's new house. and ended up cleaning for here as well haha. her new place looks much better than the old one. then we went to 7-eleven at the mrt station for slurpee. Me tedson ben went marina square's kfc for dinner. by the time we went to esplanade library it was 8. haha. left at 9 when the library closed. hung around to watch some mosaic performance. then went home :D

It has been quite a crazy week. but homework still undone. so am quite dead. DO NOT want school to reopen. only looking forward to bass lessons and YO. and maybe piano lesson. haha.

11:27 pm

Dad's Birthday

At Sentosa

NUE gathering at adele's house. wonder where are all the other pictures. JIAYIN!:D

On Monday I baked my first cake. Quite yummy, but had to throw it away on tuesday cos dunno why it was so wet. After that I got a fever. sigh. Took panadol and slept it away. Tuesday, met Sandra and Shufang at CCAB at about 11, watched the others play captain's ball. Bass section went to Seoul Garden at Taka for lunch. Walked for a distance before any taxi was willing to take us. And it was raining! Lunch was quite fun I guess. :D After that tc left for church and the rest of us went to esplanade library. me and ben went to look for books. The membership costs $21 per year! gosh. Left the library at almost 6. Wasnt late for rehearsal! Parents came to fetch me, so Yuze Theodore Jonkoh and me squeezed at the back of the car haha.

Today, TADA. went to put on my front braces. I think I look DAMN WEIRD. cant smile properly. Shan't take so many pictures from now on. Waited for almost half an hour for 174 to go for lesson at Ms Yeo's. Met my mum at northpoint and ate at the food court. saw Charis! I was on my way home when I realised I left my bow case on the foodcourt table. Had to detour back. Luckily it was still there! However this shows that Singaporeans are not very alert also. What if it was a bomb? ( long and black case-- suspicious looking article?)

haha. am planning to choing homework tonight. i have my first four bars of my composition. What an achievement. haha. My chem and math tutorial 1 and 3 are almost done. left like a few more qns. and I just started on bio! yay. hope i get my reply soon so I can continue working on my essay. =) Tmr am going to help ms yeo pack! and maybe go for chamber outing if I don't feel terribly anti-social.

7:38 pm

I put my back braces on Wednesday. The metal thing kept poking my tongue. Was quite irritating. Had make up lectures all the way till 6, couldnt go for chamber. Thursday was supposed to be a holiday, but had lectures from 10 to 5. Went for YO and had dinner at the prata place again. Had a nice talk with yuze and xueqian and the mrt station haha. Friday morning went to sentosa with my class. Had fun playing soccer with this bunch of kids from holland. Cute boys! haha. Then left early with Steph to vivo for lunch and went home. Slept like a pig and woke up late. Chiong-ed out of the house to meet chengxuan davin jiacheng and jack's place. supposed to be a surprised birthday celebration for alex haha but I think he already found out. Cheeyee jackie jianyu came by later. When the staff brought over the birthday cake, they played the birthday song in the background! Rachel laughed super loudly and alex was quite embarassed haha. He liked the present that we gave him though. think he was quite touched.:D

6:01 pm

One week has flown by so quickly. Recap:

Monday: I met my class for the first time. Luckily they are quite nice. We all take bio chem math plus something else, like music, CL, CLL, MLL, TLL, jap, french, econs, physics. Quite a varied class.:D My timetable is not very nice, I end at 3.15 on Mondays Tuesdays Fridays, Wednesday we are all let of at 1something due to assembly, and Thursday I end at 2.30, but it doesnt make a difference cos I'd have to go for YO after that. haha. The day passed quite quickly, and I finally got an idea how the pace is like. Challenging. Have alot to catch up with though.

Tuesday: shucks. cant remember much. bought uniform. OH. J1 MEP concert. haha. Before the concert me and Chang-E were in the library. I fell asleep for one hour plus reading the stoichiometry notes. haha. Then went to LT2 for the concert. The concert was not bad I guess, my new classmates all look quite pro. Walked to the mrt with Joy and talked abit =)

Wednesday: hmm. 2nd intakers had make-up chem prac. As a result was late for chamber. Had combined rehearsal for awhile then we broke off for sectionals. That was quite slack. Three of us just sat behind the cellos. At the end of rehearsal then I realised that I was using a new bass. No wonder it sounded quite shallow. and weird. after rehearsal walked to the mrt with alot of people. we're going to become the mrt gang i think haha.

Thursday: wore the RJ uniform. I dont think I look too weird. haha. went for my first music lesson which was harmony. Now I have to do two commentaries. haha. went with yuze to beauty world plaza to tailor his jacket for YO. saw aileen pinyan jessie! There were alot of girls queueing up to buy hwachong uniform. Went to prata place beside CCAB for dinner with the others. Took a cab home after YO with the usual people, but cab ride was paid by jonkoh. The taxi driver was talking about the escaped terrorist. We were quite amused. haha. Saw Bjorn at the bus stop! and he kindly waited with me for the bus.

Friday: Woke up late. Went to the dental centre. The dentist put some rubber things inbetween 8 of my molars. So now I cant bite or chew with the teeth behind. Went to eat with mum after that before going to school. Went for first music lesson. Indian music lesson was interesting. Had an aural test. Surprisingly it was quite alright for me who hasnt attended a single lesson. haha. Met up with Rachel at YCK mrt station. Went to CWP. met Chee Yee Chengxuan Alex Deborah Jackie. Gerald came with Jackie but he went home. Went outside the cinema to decide which movie to watch and saw Kenneth! haha. such a coincidence. In the end we decided not to watch anything and went to jack's place for dinner. We were super noisy haha. Davin came to join us after awhile. Played the black magic games with them. Rachel was super easily amused. haha. and she couldnt get alot of the things too. walked around after dinner. Saw alot of woodlands people. Amanda, Samantha, Cherlene, Jianyu. Went to the park nearby. Saw lifeng! then we walked back to cwp cos rachel was getting bitten by alot of creatures. Sat at macs and talked abit. The rest left at about 9.30 and I met Kenneth at macs and we talked for awhile. haha. Was surprised that mum didnt scold me for coming home at almost 11.=)

Saturday: woke up late, as usual. Couldnt eat lunch properly cos teeth were hurting. Went for YO and saw Sandra on the bus, and met Ben while walking from the bus stop. Went to the prata shop again where the rest minus dinah and tedson were. Rayner came! haha. The female conductor conducted us again. She went into quite alot of details and we ended at 5.30. Went with parents and sis to eat some fishhead thing at whompoa. (sp?) came home talked online fell asleep.

Today: woke up late again. stoned around read newspaper. Now am trying to do my harmony homework. I seriously suck at harmony. Should have continued my theory after grade 5. sigh.

Next week's an exciting week I guess! Indian music workshop on Monday, maybe bass lesson on Tuesday, Wednesday chamber/or no school, and a visit to the dentist, Thursday no school but chem lecture and YO, Friday, maybe crashing AC. haha. so fun. =)
