We didn't get in.



Sorry Noelle!



I didn't mean to forget the lyrics.
Theoretically, I did not forget the lyrics. I skipped one chorus and almost went straight to the last chorus until Noelle made eye contact to me that I realized I was spouting the wrong lyrics. Damn it.

Not only that, I made many more mistakes. The best was at the last chorus where I was supposed to use my head voice to sing the high part. Accidentally, I sang it with my chest voice that...
You should know what happened next.

And it was extremely hilarious when I zhaoxia. It was really unexpected.
Luckily the loud background music and Noelle's voice covered my ultimate mistake. Nevertheless, I still heard my 'squeaked' voice.












Not bad. You really do looked weetarded











Frankly, I am not sad or disappointed. It was because the mistakes I've made were not forgivable and I never commit such mistakes before. And so I knew the outcome would be negative. At least I've gained experience which definitely makes me a better singer or whatever you call it.


Anyway, I was contented to see both Minghuat and Farhan there supporting. I thought they were busy and told me that they won't show up. In the end, they did.




These are what I call true friends.




p/s: Sorry Noelle! Didn't mean to forget the lyrics eh. ): Hope you are not angry.

I realized I did not do a proper update on how am I doing this past few weeks.
Thus, I shall talk about it now.


Its been awhile since I got back my Mid-Year results. It was expected. My results were atrocious that its not worth the mention here. The traumatizing experience really got me working. I thought I had been slapped hard on the face as a wake up call. I never wish to repeat a year more. The thought of it already makes me blank out.


And yes, let me just face it. It all boils down to working hard now.
It must be.



Random photos.





















Every one minute that I'm angry, I will lose sixty seconds of happiness.

After Friday sectionals, dinner at Sumo House. I think its my new favourite eating place. Cos the food is superbly nice and its disastrously cheap. Went with Farhan, Xiangyun and Cheryl.


She does not know how to eat oranges.









Ex co meeting on 19th of July, Saturday @ 3pm.
In NYJC.


The committee had a meeting right after YPSB practice at AMKSS.
The thought of going back to school was just a turn off.
I presumed it was painful since I can't go home and eat lunch with MH and Farhan.
However, it turned out fun!

Super fun meeting.
Again, rolled on the floor laughing my ass off throughout the whole meeting.
Not literally.






Trust me. I did not take this shot.
It was Elijah.
I am merely helping him to post it here.







Okay. Now, I've exacted revenge for you Xiangyun.




Two Librarian, Two Vice-President (Music) and (Admin).




Come on Andy. Don't be shy!
One Welfare and One Head of Publicity.




And. Here comes the President!
James!








Andy...



Gerard...



Haha. Elijah took all the unglam photos. Bad photography skills. Tsktsk.

In botanic garden,




I do not remember taking this picture. I know. It must be Farhan.





New Zealanders came to our school for an exchange today.
Ironically, half of the orchestra were made up of Asians.

As tour guides, I think Asians are just the best. Not generalising or whatsoever, it seem to me that Asians are way enthusiastic about everything and they get high and excited over small and happy stuffs. Which is a very good thing.

Farhan and me took a group of Korean girls for a tour around the school and they just made me roll on the floor laughing my ass off. Not literally.
They swear like us. Cool huh.


The Korean girls (New Zealanders) asked,

"Are the skirts suppose to be that short?"

pointing to my friend's unbelievable short skirt.



I replied,

"Oh. Its normal here..."



Isn't it?






Before the lunch time concert we had this lame fire drill which was redundant.
I know. I am very ya ya papaya.




Lunch time concert.

Congratulations
Chung Cheng High School (Yishun) Symphonic Band!



Another Gold for NBC 2008.


I still remember the times back in NBC 2006 where we gotten our first ever Gold. And then another Gold in Genting. And now, NBC '08 a Gold. I might not be there to support or play with you guys but I did pray hard that the band will do well. And they did.

That was a real breakthrough knowing that the band was in the same league as other superb bands such as SMU Symphonic, MJCSB, Sembawang Symphonic Winds and many more.

I am so proud of you guys.




Botanic Garden performance just now was fabulous.
Did not take a single shot. Oh man. I am so losing touch from this blog.
Yeah. I am so busy with everything that I am neglecting a lot of stuffs at home and etc.



Going to do poster for PW.
Gah.
Shagged.

Happy Youth Day!


Free ice cream in Nanyang!






And my brother was so kind to me yesterday. Nazrul, I mean. He knew I was craving for peanut butter. And so he went out to a clinic with my grandmother and the next minute I saw peanut butter and bread on the table when he came back.





Super nice ah.

I am still craving for donuts though...





Random thoughts came crashing again.
It got me thinking out of the blue.


I am not sad. Trust me.
Let me repeat.

It is just a random thought.


This was what I felt or crossed my mind theoretically.






It does not feel nice when my close friends are not in the same class as me.


I don't know.
For me, sometimes I will be wandering when is the next time I am going to meet or just bump into them. Though I understand the situation perfectly and had gotten over the fact that they are not going to be by my side all the time. Except for band days.
Be it in class, breaks or any point of time of the day.

It does not feel right.

It feels awkward in fact.

When luck is totally against me, sometimes I may not even get to see them or their shadow for one whole day. Which I think is very very unfortunate.

The people whom I am emotionally attached to seem so distant. Lol.
Although yes. We are in the same school. But heck. We are of different classes.

This means if I have anything to share, it will be difficult to communicate and bring it across to them. Cos there will be a limited amount of time that we are seeing each other. Which is very depressing to even think about it. Ha. Ha.


I guess you should know who you are when I mention "close friends".
See how worthy and valuable you are to me. Ha. Ha.


I believe it is so essential to have very good friends around you in a JC. Cos most of the time you will most definitely need a helping hand to pick you up to your feet back again when you fall. And they are so so important as the motivation and support mostly comes from these people. In order for you to keep holding on and remain strong.
Especially in a stressful and demanding hell known otherwise as a Junior College.



Funny how life has change tremendously.



Secondary school...

Good friends are constantly around me. At times I get bored seeing too much of them.

JC...

I long for the presence of those creatures whom I call 'close friends' , every single second.



Ironic huh?





Okay.
I shall repeat this for the last time.

It was just a random thought.
I am not sad. Okay. Slightly. A little teeny weeny bit only.
But not devastatingly heartbroken.


2007.
4F!

2008. (Which means now!)
0825!


Yup. I love my classmates. And I shall love everything that comes to me. I shall not take things for granted anymore.







Wah Kao. This entry is super hyperly random.

Why am I always stuck at home alone?
This is so boring. On the other hand, I do not want to go out since I have been roaming around Singapore since Friday.
Had been going out early and coming back late which was very tiring.


I was sick on Friday and did not attend the Leadership Training Camp. A little saddening missing the chance to mingle around with more leaders from various CCA groups. Anyway, its over. Regret no more.






Sunday.


Hair for Hope 2008.






I went down to Novena to support my brother.

Okay. I shall call Farhan "brother" from now on since I treat him more like a brother and a close friend.

This event is in support with the children cancer patients. You know when cancer patients undergo chemotherapy then their hair starts to fall.
Hmmm...
Okay. That didn't sound quite right.

Let me try again.

The chemotherapy affects the cancer patients body greatly that the hair...
Fall.

No.

It still sounded mean.

Forget it.

So, the purpose of this event was basically to get people who are of course well and healthy to come up and support by shaving their hair to show their encouragement to the cancer patients.
It was really admirable looking at those people shaving their head. Especially women who were so brave to lose their hair up on the stage.

Bravo!



Some random guy in the frame.




Unfortunately, I was late to witness Farhan's shaving. Dang.
When I finally saw him face to face, I was totally blown away.
Got a temporary shocked but after awhile I did get use to the whole bald head thing.
It wasn't that bad in fact. I am sure the shavees feel cooler without hair. And much warmer without hair.


Got ourselves to Bishan to meet Minghuat.

Played Arcade again!

Ya da ya da.



And finally, it was time for ACJC Band Concert in Singapore Conference Hall.

Oh man. I was extremely fascinated by ACJC Concert Band. They sounded superb.

Like bloody kicking ass GOOD.

The whole concert was undeniably enjoyable. I had a good time listening to them.
Well, I do admit I feel a tinge of disappointment and envy after the concert. I mean, I cannot help it but to compare them with NYJCSB.

Honestly, I would definitely like to know what differentiates between a Bronze/Silver/Gold band and a GWH band?




Matthew Tong.

Lucky him, he is flying to Switzerland with ACJC band in less than 12 hours.



Osaka.............



A random shot while walking back from Singapore Conference Hall to Esplanade.




Eh. Damn nice to walk under the stars in the city area. Especially the bridge connecting to the Esplanade.
Seriously, a good way to de stress. It was very relaxing to sit down and just feel the cool weather and the slight breeze brushing through your face. And of course simply enjoy the good company.






Presenting to you the brave young man/boy who gave up his hair to support the cancer patients...

I miss Chung Cheng all of a sudden.
The band. The class. The teachers. The campus. The atmosphere.
All of them still fresh in my memory.


Good chance to see me in my secondary school uniform.
























Yay!
