I'm already behind in sn. And my econs tutorial which I'm doing now seems to be never ending. Argh. And I might as well be learning econs from scratch. =X Haha, miss tan don't kill me.
I actually want practice tomorrow. And saturday afternoon. Hmms.

I'm disappointed ): Slin and cherr aren't going after all. ): Ayes.
But thanks db for the going even when the rest aren't. <3
And I love my two hot friday dates. Yayy loves ! I choose a free movie over econs anyday. =X
Threadless mmms ! But I really want my The Office shirt too. So I should limit myself to... two. I've been spending wayy too much. Father is unhappy. =/
I can't wait for this saturday to be over. So I can breathe easy and devote the next two weeks (and I mean DEVOTE or die trying) to piano.
John Mayer's Daughters is beautiful (:
THERE'S POTENTIALLY A THEMED HALLOWEEN PARTYYY ! Omg exciting. We should totally mail out invitations too. And have ghoul shaped cookies and orange punch. Hurhur, gwei's my partner in crime. So outrageously exciting !
I dread and yet can't wait for sept the 14th. For my piano exam to be over. Rah rah rah.

Hairspray with the girls (quen included) was great :D I love love love the mass dancing and singing and every element from the 60s theme. (especially the smarmy 'grease' like guys with slick hair) It was such a happy show, it makes you want to get up on your feet and jive to those snazzy moves. And the characters were all so cool. Tracy, Seaweed, Linc (although disturbing at one point, Zac Efron looks TONS better than in high school musical), Christopher Walken (so cute lah in the gag shop scene), JAMES MARSDEN (i liiiiiike) and the powerful queen latifah.. (:
And John Travolta was very disturbing to say the least. But commendable effort ! And kudos to walken for er kissing him on the cheek and dancing with him hahaha.
I love musicals (:
Practice yesterday was tiring. We sang through the Hoag pieces (not including cicadas) and really tried polishing up kyrie, auguries and three japanese images. Auguries was jialat. =/ Why don't they ever go through triptych ! ): Meh.
My first tutorial was today, for js. Didn't get to meet everyone properly but we had to mingle and get to know each other (forced mingling, I liiiike ahaha). So introductions took like half the time. And I'm one of the two year ones. =/ Lots of people outside fass mmms. And we had to write a summary of rhapsody (which I wrote crap so I really should study hard for the final exam since my written assignments are probably all going to be crap). But the discussion portion I find wasn't very fruitful and personally I felt it was because of the article itself. It's quite.. convoluted. So it was difficult to properly think about stuff. And anyway, maybe we're just not warmed up yet..
I didn't get to watch Black Rain because they couldn't find the tape. AM ANNOYED. Have to watch it tomorrow =/ Sigh. And I need to rush through my geog readings for tutorial. And and I want to practise on the piano. Sigh. On a lighter note, I bought timtams (: And it's funny how my marketing lecturer likes to disturb the lithuanian. She spends the lecture teaching him hokkien words and stuff like ah soh and tai tai and cheekopek haha. On a depressing note, my marketing tutorial was closed due to poor enrolment. SIGH. I hope I get the other slots..

Number one on my agenda: Pray for Amadeus.
Hurhur. Seriously. That's why I'm attending practice tomorrow even though it's 'optional'. We really need to shape up mans. And I've been very inspired by the 6 vc altos.
Met my lookylikeyy ! :D By sheer coincidence, we had the same bolero thing. And her mum gave us a lift (: But we didn't have time to catch up proper, meh.
Pretty jiejun and the dancing flowers I gave her (: Really, only 6 altos. And they're so good. Meh. I need to work harder ! (so Boxer ish from Animal Farm haha)
In Song 2007
Repertoire-wise, it was pretty serious. No action packed crowd pleasing numbers like pamugun (or however it's spelt). But it gave them a chance to really showcase their music alone. Which was great. It was very beautifully textured and I especially like the second song about the ill mannered man (or woman ?). And of course Janger brought back prague memories. I miss our folklore prague pieces !!! ): Cp's solo was pretty angmoh but he's has a good voice although I think he sounds more like a baritone. I've never heard most of their songs so it was quite interesting and I can't compare or anything.
BUT my experience was marred by the 23857253498 idiotic kids making so much noise during the performances. Specifically the boys behind us. FOURTH ROW, CIRCLE 3, SEATS 2-5. TMD !!!!! They pay money to talk during the whole concert. It was bloody annoying, selfish, disrespectful and disgraceful. Young kids nowadays are disappointing. And the esplanade is a venue with class. Am really quite disturbed by their immaturity.
Oh, we had dinner with some of the amadeus people at glutton's bay. (potential pten outing !!!) Hiphop guy (not sure what his name is) and wen long are quite mad. Haha.. I always seem to make friends only when projects are about to end. =/ So I didn't get the chance to camwhore, sadly. Eugene, sweehao, jasmine, xiaoping and gwei were too. Eugene was being mad as usual. The place brings back memories of PLAY! Meh. ):
Anyways, am tired and tomorow's another long day. Albeit school-less, haha.
♥ 12:42 AM
Exhausted. Though it feels like I didn't accomplish much. =/
I SEE LOTS TO BUY AT BUGIS !!!! Bad. ):
Three Japanese Images: OMGAHHHHHHDDDD. ):
Even auguries is better. With score at least.
If I could create one of those animated emoticons for msn right now, it'd be for the word 'siao' and it'd be of gt chai dancing. HAHAHA bad image, goodness, haha.
Long day tomorrow. The whole cyber friend thing today was quite funny hurhur..

Okay an update before I spend any more money..
1. Spending money like water.
Wayyyy too much. But at least I'm finally getting kimono tops (: CONTROL THYSELF BELLE !!!
2. I adore prof chang <3
I feel like majoring in geog, hur. I might even join the geog soc.
3. Watched rhapsody in august !
I quite liked it but the multimedia room chairs aren't comfy =/
4. Humz is HILARIOUS. Conversation went like this:
H: So, are you planning to find your true love in uni ?
B: Huh !??! Er not necessarily.. Why ?
H: Cos my seniors said that we must grab one quick before we start work, if not no time.
HAHAHAHA. I have hilarious friends. On a related note, HAPPY BELATED 19TH BIRTHDAY MY DEAR :D Fellow stalker, you get an A STAR STAR. May we not have to sit through more boring econs lects. =X
5. We're going to have a mooncake party !
The one last year started out as my idea too. -beams. I want it to be themed but I bet the guys won't stand for it. No matter, we can have a themed party/outing soon RIGHT GWEI ??? (:
6. I don't know whether I'm excited about tutorials.
Because I'm probably going to sound stupid in them. Especially in JS. Rah. Oh and there are no caucasian boys in my tutorial groups. Sulks.
7. Am uber screwed for piano. ),=
8. I miss the aussie charter of pten. )'=
9. I ACTUALLY WROTE NOTES FOR AUGURIES.
AM REALLY TRYING AHHHH. Depressing. But still better than triptych. )',=
10. I had mcD's english tea in the morning and I'm having chinese tea now. Mmm. Tea. I don't think I'll become a caffeine addict hmmms.
10. Overall, I think I'm just unhappy with myself.
MEH.
On a brighter note, I'm meeting what's left of pten on monday for Hairspray ! MICHELLE TANG, I CHOOSE YOUUUU !!! -pokemon style. We'd better not eat the old man. Can it also be silly shirt day ??? I need an excuse to wear a silly shirt I have. Because it's okay to be embarassing and unglam and cringeworthy when you're with girlfriends (:

I'm happy ! I got my four day week. (= It can even be considered a three day week if you overlook the single 6-8 lecture on thurs, haha. But I think I'll be using time before that to catch up on readings and tutorials.
Thanks lots qua for accompanying me for the js lect today. (: I was just slightly depressed because I didn't know I had to preview the film beforehand and thus was very lost throughout the lesson. We're supposed to discuss the theme of war.
Speaking of wars, my room looks like post a-bomb nagasaki. All the clutter is depressing me.
Should really get a start on readings before they pile up and I start to regret. Managed to memorise (more or less) kyrie and guanju on the train. Now I just have to work very hard on auguries, triptych and three japanese images. Meh.
I hate that my little fingers are weak. What I'm supposed to be playing at presto I'm playing at andante. Great, just great. I'm too hooked on cassio. AND IMPULSE BUYING OH DAMN. ):
I want to watch Hairspray and eat xiaolongbao !!! Though I really should be saving money if I'm considering Italy next year. Considering. Hmms. Financial situation currently forbids me to even dream about it. Yikes.

Am very moody now. I transferred 23 bucks for nothing all because I thought today was monday. The spree deadline was 1030 today. So I'm not getting my shirt. And apparently am not getting my refund till next year. Wtf. The cost of stupidity (and oversleeping and hence rushing about and not getting little details right).
Moodiness also the result of lack of practice. VERY UNPREPARED, both for piano and the concert. Too tired. Shan't dwell on it anymore but shall make sure I make time for it tomorrow.
Cranky mood can also be attributed to my getting the sn tutorial on monday (only after 2 rounds of balloting). And I *#&^ don't want to come back to school on monday just for an sn tutorial. As it is, I am *#^@! coming back on thursday just for the sn lecture. Am wondering if I can drop sn altogether. (told you I'm moody)
So I shall see what I can do tomorrow ayes. Sigh. Tomorrow tomorrow..

Well the weekend for me was a bad one. First, the bad news on saturday. And then the good and bad news on sunday. I don't think I want to go into details and I really don't want to be fussed over or anything. But the good news is, I REALLY THANK THE LORD I'M ALIVE. The bad news is my family's car is quite smashed up.
I cried a few times in those few hours. Partly because of the guilt. I asked for a lift to practice at siglap. But mostly because events in the past few months haven't had much of an impact till that moment. The results of automobile accidents. Just how close I was to getting very very hurt. I couldn't help it. As I stumbled out of the car, thoroughly shaken, I was at the same time giddy and overwhelmed with relief.
It was horrifying. Like a mad game of bumper cars. Except the impact was a hundred times worse. By the grace of God, I am unscathed apart from a rainbow of a bruise and some chest pains. But really, I'm okay. It's a miracle really. I usually don't sit in the back seat so it's fortunate that I was. And fortunately, no one else was involved. As far as I could see, the other family was alright.
It is the most terrifying thing that's ever happened to me. And it's a reminder that recklessness is fatal. That taking the simplest things for granted might result in us paying dearly. It has also made me realise that there are things worth living for. That I want to be alive. Most importantly, it has shown me that there is a God.
On one hand, I want to forget it all. On the other hand, I don't. I want to keep fresh and bear in mind the lessons learnt so I don't leave room for regrets.
Thanks for the concern and prayers ayes.

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on

Just to cheer myself up a little, I'm re-watching the Christmas episode from The Office. A collection of hilarious quotes.
[whilst moving the christmas tree]
Dwight: Owch I think I got a splinter.
Michael: Well suck it up. Everyone's got their problems.
Kevin: What are we going to do with the sawed off part of the tree ?
Michael: It's a mini tree. We could sell it to charity. Because it's christmas and that's what we do.
[phyllis, angela, pam and ryan are discussing the christmas party. michael enters wearing a santa's hat and beard.]
Michael: Ho ! Ho ! Ho ! Pimp !
Dwight (who is very tall): I would like to be the elf.
Michael: That makes sense. He has elfish features.

Dwight: I think Lex Luthor said it best when he said, "Dad, you have no idea what I'm capable of.'
Michael: Was that from Superman ?
Dwight: No, it was Smallville.
Hurhur. Okay today wasn't as exciting as I hoped it'd be. For the mod, we watched 100 years of japanese film. I'm quite afraid of the gore and violence to come. =/ The japanese are quite into violence. The gangsters, honour killings, suicide, swords and guns.. Meh. But I think discussing the culture of Japan should be interesting.
I just realised (I KNOW HOW DUMB CAN ANYONE GET) that south asian studies covers countries such as India, Bangladesh and Pakistan among others. =/ Rah. I think I might be slightly more interested in SEA since I have the background but oh well. Diversifying..owch !
Two highlights today. Meeting darlingsenior Corinna ! :D And her tso. She's so bubbly and nice, I love her, heh. And and, seeing two cute guys on the bus ! HAPPINESS. One on 96 on the way to the school, he sat behind me. Another, when I was on the shuttle to the science block. Ahhhhhhhh. There is hope yet. And they weren't caucasian either, haha. Zero so far from fass though.
OKAY I JUST RECEIVED A NICE MESSAGE AM IN A VERY GOOD MOOD NOW. ALTHOUGH PIANO EXAM'S CONFIRMED AND IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS.
♥ 12:45 AM
Today wasn't much but I survived ! Woots ! Despite having NO ONE to accompany me in bizad for mkting. The lecture was quite interesting but 1 hour 40 minutes was quite.. brain busting. And the content wasn't even difficult to digest. I suppose it's the mental lethargy that I have to stir myself from. And I took the initiative to make friends ! I exchanged numbers with a girl on the shuttle bus. (:
And yayy for tmx (for all the tips) and qua (lunch) and db (the journey home) !
I was thinking about two things about myself. The first being how I think I'm nuts. I get all worried and worked up and PARANOID about things but I don't ever do anything about it. The master procrastinator at work. I'm such a paradox. That I can feel so panicky about something and yet still be completely unmotivated to get things done. Fine example- impending doom that is the piano exam. RAH. Dammit. It's annoying that I get ANNOYED with myself over similar cases and yet do close to nothing. =/ Really makes me wonder how I survived 12 years in the moe system.
I just wanted to type 'anothing' instead of 'another thing'. It's quite a recent affliction. Dating a few years ? What I'm thinking about and what is actually being processed and churned out somehow do not coincide. I always end up merging two words together unknowingly. Maybe it's because I am too harried in processing ? Hmmms.
Yes. Another thing, I like challenges. Another fabulous irony considering that I am incredibly lazy. Especially in environments where there isn't pressure (ie. not exam or competition conditions although I do admit that competitions do give an added edge and thrill), I enjoy sparring verbally with others. Though purely for non-academic purposes. I've learnt my lesson and intend to stay out of that arena. That's why future husband must be intellectual enough to challenge what I know to broaden my perspectives. Snooty know-it-alls who refuse to admit defeat need not apply though, haha.
Although I admit I can be very stubborn. And cantankerous.
JS tomorrow, I can't wait. (: (omg, I'm actually excited, lols) And why are all the hot boys caucasian ??? =/ Haha..

Okay I urge everyone to go to the tvlinks website and watch The Office. It is freaking hilarious. Michael and Dwight are the BEST. Hurhur. The humour's not as visual as Scrubs and not as nonsensical. It's less literal but the quotes are fantastic hahaha.
Dwight: Who's the real hero ? Hiro from Heroes. And maybe Bono.
Hahahahahah. Mmms, I have my first lecture at the business school tomorrow. Marketing from 12 to 2. I hope that I get what the lecture's about and more importantly, that I make friends and don't look like a total doofus. I'm rather shy when it comes to new environments.
Went back to visit the choir today. I love carols (: Even though the altos never get a chance to shine. I always get a high from singing anything between high C and F. Although I've pretty much lost the ability to sing soprano. I'm glad I'm an alto anyway, less problematic. Zk is mad ! And he totally shouldn't be getting 12 marks for geography ! Tsk, disgraceful. -petulant sniff. Though his econs is really quite good. Dj is crazy also, haha. Okays, I shan't sabo him in future. He's too scary, lols.
Of course, nessa is the maddest of all and I'm just refusing to comment because she's going to cook up some funny story about me obsessing with some other weird species. I wonder how successful my strawberry quest will be haha.

HAHA. Michael is so dramatic, he's hilarious. I woke up at the rather ungodly hour (okay it's only godly to wake up at that hour if one is churchgoing) of eight to start learning up the amadeus songs. Rah. Not much progress has been made but I'm starting to get the hang of lok sui tien. It doesn't help that we're supposed to have the songs quite fully memorised already. RAHHHH. But I suppose the 1 to 8 practice today will help. May I not make a total fool of myself and hopefully I'll be given an easy song to be auditioned with.

Of course I'm not one who's deluded or constantly seeks to be adulated.Phyllis (fat, perpetually weepy-looking, middle aged employee): I'm getting married.
Michael: See ? That is great and frankly..... kinda amazing. Everyone has a chance.

Got all my second round mods. But at a very high cost. So for this sem I'll be doing econs, geog, south asia: people culture development and post war japanese film and anime. I know, it's a level 2000 mod and I don't even watch anime. Anyhoo, BE VERY JEALOUS, HAH. Qua and I were fretting and ranting over stupid cors I tell you.
I want to watch rush hour 3 ! Am a sucker for retarded movies, sorry. Nessa darling is nuts but I love her still. HAHA. Even though I think pilots in uniform can be really hot, a certain shark DOES NOT QUALIFY. And yes, I am stalking the drunk frog, haha. I'm not sure if I should go for the vc concert.. Lookylikeyy is going but I'm poor.. I want to watch the fireworks though.. Did I ever mention that I like capuchin monkeys ? (:
I'm too tired to muse properly about national day. I'll include an entry that will do how I feel towards the country justice another time. Although simply, I proudly declare that there's no other place I will call home. (:
