went to 4 places in a day and only had 1 meal.
1. jap lesson, central.
2. sws brass band workshop, west.
3. impromptu trip to nyp, north?
4. manhattan fish market for dinner, central. [oh, we saw hydhir at marina square! sigh things felt so long ago when there was a section..]
i'm only left with east before travelling the whole of singapore. haha.
watching daisuki.
i like meaningful dramas! (:
it makes me think and think and think about life.
anyway it's about this mentally disabled mother raising a child.
seeing all the people around her being influenced after discrimination.
it was smiling and being touched at the same time earlier.
then it got sadder after the daughter grew up..
will continue watching tmr, time to sleep!
here's a quote from the show:
She's the kind of person who values a lot of important things that I forgot.
so true, people are so busy and ignorant that they forget some important values.
goodnight.

hello this is one of the rare times i'm not posting band videos HAHAHA.
omg rare talent, 15-year-old girl from singapore!
but i'm a bit lag in viewing these videos (bao showed me! if not i'll never even get to watch them), they were from last year lol.
whenever i see super talents, i would be thinking, wow what have i been doing for the past years of my life!
okay lah. i had great memories too. (:
anyway exams are over!
but i actually want to take accounting supp paper. sigh i need to study and practise more questions and not just read through it.
i guess i would either get a D or fail it. (i secretly want to fail, i kept hesitating to write down more things during the paper cos i scared i'll pass. haha call me crazy but it's true!)
oh, so i think accounting won in being more gg than macroecons.
celebrated felicia's birthday then went to meet bao.
had lunch at ps mos burger, our favourite hangout (other than chinatown chicken rice stall) during sec 4 days!!
went to shop at daiso yay. i haven't been there for a long time already!
and we walked around ps, looking at clothes haha.
bao bought a top! i resisted buying stuff...
lol save $ for my longer-term goal. (:
just meeting up for chats and catch-ups are satisfying enough.
i know i'm different from what i used to be then, now.
i used to be much noisier and lamer.
if you think i'm nonsensical now, i was worst hahaha.
i managed to take 2 hours to go buona vista by bus from dhoby ghaut lol.
slept unglamly on the pretty crowded bus.. \:
the city swing drummer, audrey, came down to help us today.
but festivo was bad for me arghhh, it was worst than last practice. ):
and time to brush up on my strokes, i always fail to discipline myself to do it.
was supposed to go on a meeting spree tmr.
but it's okay, everyone has work to do. (:
and i shall rest and rot at home!
oh, and maybe pack my room. clear stuff, throw throw throw! :D
i'm off to organise up my to-do list for the holiday tonight.
maybe watch drama..
i bought square exercise books from daiso, chiong jap!

while thinking of ob concepts this morning, i thought of an example for power.what happens when you want to make something happen but don't have the power?
i don't have the legitimate power.
i don't think i have referent or expert power in a way.
so i just sit and wait for things to happen.
but i don't like to do that.
the person is willing but the situation is not, how?

hello i was watching the meiden concert dvd again.
i wanted to transfer christine's fav jap graf xi to her thumbdrive which ended up with insufficient space for the file.
decided to test the sound of my phone by video-ing excerpts of the concert dvd.
so if you're bored (of studying) you can watch/listen!
pre-concert performance by flutes and saxophones :D
my fav sop sax! damn imba, i melted at her dance movements solo when i first heard it.
excerpts from el cumbanchero, random scene of beauty and the beast and jg xi.
this is what i call enjoying yourself during a performance. percs ftw! :D
everytime i watch, i either find a new favourite song or a new favourite part of a song.
i seek joy and pleasure in watching meiden's concert dvd.
and sometimes motivation. (:
shall go study soon.
so far the papers......
marketing: -30 marks
bizstats: -26 marks
ob: -~20marks
for the questions i totally have no idea how to do.
i don't expect much with the amount of effort i put in according to expectancy theory.
i'm glad exams are finishing! (although it felt like it didn't even start, to me lah)
i guess the exam mood is not visiting me this time.
yay 2 more papers, thurdays is coming!! :D

being confident = winning half the battle.i shall just rely on being confident for the next 4 days.
although i don't think there's anything for me to be confident about. HA.
bizstats - confidence: class tests. tmd why must they only be 5% each?!?!
but i think i can't do the past-year questions! \:
there's no stress for this exam.
everything's so wrong.
having exams after chinese new year is so wrong too.
how more distracted can i get?
february 2010 is a sucky one, hope no other month gets worst than this.
i had a great january, more enjoyable months please!
positive strong correlation between exam results and studying quality.
i'm not bothered by exams, am only bothered about my confirm-plus-chop-drop gpa.
might as well spend the rest of the 4 days checking out private unis. -.-
i know i'm not prepared, and i don't have the motivation to prepare further.
WAH THIS IS DAMN BAD. ):
i'm so irritated by the fact that i can't focus for exams.
or rather, the fact that there is exams.
and it comes back to the point of why didn't i do more tutorials to feel more prepared?
i still can't study afterall. tsk.

oh, too many (random) things were running through my mind.
i forgot what i wanted to blog, high until forgot! HAHAHA.
okay i think i forgot that i have exams on monday too.
i want to study for kanji test in 2 weeks rather than study for main exams with 60% weightage, which is in 1 day.
NO MOOD FOR MAIN EXAMS.
i'd rather have 5 mid-sem tests. lol.
i need to stop highing.
high finish = tired and sleepy. \:
okay study ob ob ob!
and i reallyyyyyyy need to focus tmr.
haha i keep dreaming of thursday 11.30am, skipping monday tuesday wednesday and thursday morning in my own calendar. [:

The people on the bus says 'Shh shh shh'
The horn on the bus goes 'Beep beep beep'
3rd year cny visiting at mrs woo's house.

we've only had 1 other outing other than cny visits which was mrs woo's birthday?
anyway, she's still the best teacher ever! (:
i had a very weird dream last night, again.
i dreamt that i was an undercover and had to carry drugs.
then a policeman who caught me became my bf. HAHAHAHA.
i have dreams almost every night!
they're either alot of them or a very long and weird one.
off to study!
i woke up like damn late today, haven't studied until now.
and there's brass band practice later.

someone posted this video on facebook some time ago, until 1 day i realised i have this song - slava, from the cd i bought months back.played by Cincinatti Conservatory of Music Wind Symphony.
these school kids are comparable with the conservatory players.
once again, this is amusing me.
next, go emo one corner.
and think about those pampered kids and the level of discipline in sg.
fucked up or what?
through the meiden exchange, i got to understand why they're our super-idols.
i wouldn't mind intensive training to reach half of japan's standard!
band everyday, i want. hoho :D
btw, i'll most probably update on today's visit to mrs woo's house.
maybe after kiat upload the pics :D
i was supposed to finish studying marketing tonight and not touch it till sunday.
BIG FAIL, i'm left with 4 lectures.
i need to chiong full-time for the next few days.
saturday's gone, thursday night's gone.
ahh i'm feelng so.. sian/emo/lazy.

chinese new year day 1 & day 2.day 1: maternal side
day 2: paternal side
cousin who told me all his favourite things. hahaha.
his fav instrument: trumpet. join band! :D
he's in nv pri LOL. cool, if only he entered the school a year earlier ah.
brother sister :D
she was trying to steal drinks from the table.
day 2:
went to 4 houses.
it usually doesn't matter cos we'll end up at someone's house in the evening for dinner.
i was bored again, but less bored than day 1.
today i managed to entertain myself by walking from gambling den 1 (black jack) to gambling den 2 (mahjong) and playing with my cousin's daughter :D
monopoly den closed down after awhile. lol.
i won't want to be the 'zhuang' at this point of time. 2 banlaks.
cousin's daughter - ariella. (i don't know how to spell her name, i can't pronounce it properly either so maybe i'll stick to her chinese name hahaha. i'm a noob.)
she likes to make this tweety bird face, but then she'll get scolded. HAHA.
cousins, the mahjong gang.
marcus learning mahjong. (i was learning too HAHA!)
i was the camera-person for her for the day. lol.
my cousin's gf was teaching us how to play during the real players' dinner break.
i never knew the exact terms used.. too many terms to remember!
i didn't know there were so many types of 'hu' HAHA.
oh yeah mahjong = lifeskill? hahaha.
another cousin's daughter. big girl already!
i don't think i've talked to her before (other than byebye), only saw her twice or thrice?
oh no, ob project on teenage gambling addiction is haunting me during new year!
there're so many gambling shows on tv during new year too.
my paternal family seems to be expanding every year.
cousins with their bf/gf or husband/wife or kids.
fast eh? everyone's grown up/growing up.
okay i'm going to study soon.
sadistic new year. ):
on a brighter note, going mrs woo's house tmr! :D

hello all my blog stalkers/readers,新年快乐！HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! :D
may it be a prosperous year ahead for all.
watched one episode of a taiwan drama, 比赛开始, on some mio channel.
nice nice, shall add it to my to-watch-drama-list haha.
even my papa also say it's nice! :D
i think dramas make me think alot.
was thinking about how people change as they grow up.
i guess i'd be the one hoping that one day everything can happen all over again.
dreams vs reality.
having dreams is good, but reality is always there to go against you.
that's why i dislike (/hate) the feeling of unaccomplished goals.
i don't like doing things halfway.
you need the determination and perseverance.
okay my brain finally stopped thinking.
bathing time then off to study!
i didn't go with my mum and bro to watch movie cos i was feeling guilty for not studying last night and this afternoon.
so i'd better study!
the feeling of making a worthless sacrifice sucks too.
i hope tmr's a more exciting visiting day.
am looking forward to tuesday too. (:

it was the last day of school for the year.
went to school to have pizza with class :D
but they actually waited 2 hours for it to be delivered?!
last tutorial - marketing.
whoo A for project! but coursework result was still .. not good. ha!
with the current coursework results for all the subjects, bizstats is something worth chionging. but i'll chiong accounting too though it's the lowest.
the others are neither here nor there?!
but i need to at least maintain it and i'll be fine.
took class photos after tutorial.
i will miss 1b03! ):
wow almost a year past!
hope we'll still keep in contact and may some of us still end up in the same class.
rare for biz but there's a higher chance for lom and marketing people.
got to know them better this term through different project groupings although there were times we had headaches and problems working with different people.
it's been a great year with 1b03.
really nice to meet the wonderful people in there.
thanks for all the entertainment and laughters we had :D
btw, sijia i still remember the first 5 sentences you wrote in my letter!!!
i don't have failing memory although i'm old. HAHAHA.
i remember chatting with you on msn after orientation lah!
and your we're on the same boat basketballer logic haha.
i want a chalet!!! (:
btw, krystal requested the a380 entertainment system photo on my blog.
cos she wants to see how big the screen is. HAHA.
(we were doing on a380 during marketing tutorial)
yay i fulfill requests made by blog-readers :D
so do tell me what you want on my blog and i'll try to fulfill your request hahaha.
after all the photo-takings, met christine at the bus stop to go bugis together.
we were supposed to 'celebrate' val's birthday.
okay lah we bought her her favourite strawberry shortcake lol.
ate at soup spoon.
gossiped ALOT today. oops karma karma karma!
but they're so hot we can listen to them many times and still get amused by them.
we left bugis for different places..
can't remember when was the last time we had full attendance for meet-ups.
probably months ago?
although i meet all of them every week, but different days for different purposes.
woah yaju's the busiest! hardest to meet. lol.
i meet her at most every month. hahaha.
we took from bugis to aljunied just to talk more and take photos while deciding whether to go to orchard to accompany yaju to eat her dinner.
ate dinner at ion's food opera or something like that, their high-class kopitiam. lol.
expensive leh. $5/bowl of noodles.
i shared all my food/drinks today with choy!
from soup spoon to fishball noodles to mango soda..
yeah so we went home after chatting/gossiping somemore.
ate my steamboat by myself.. (i'm not missing the 'by' anymore cos it'd end up as eating myself which is totally wrong)
reminisced perc'04 steamboats.
we were so into steamboat we brought the whole pot to malacca during the field trip.
then chalet and at shuyan's house.
i had so much unforgettable memories with cedar percussion.
I LOVE OVERNIGHT KBOX SESSIONS WITH PERC'04!! (: (:
i even went to find our 2007 overnight kbox videos from tracy's blog archive.
i laughed my ass off at ourselves watching the videos from 3 years ago :P
here're the best few:
rap version of lee hom's wei yi (this is funny lah!):
hit me baby one more time dance part I: (sorry i got no dance genes HAHAHA)

yes i dreamt that there were serious blister injuries on my leg which i think were not even from blisters but from cuts?
next, from my nap.
can't remember much again, only remember the scene is like at my neighbourhood?
the last that i can remember of is 6 or 7 of us squeezed into a cab. -.-
at first i was with the usual band gang at the park then in the cab i saw my cousins?!

oh i went to buy my shoes before jap lesson, finally.
i couldn't decide which to buy.. heng christine was there haha.
lesson was normal, nothing interesting.
we were kinda gossiping a bit at the back row of the classroom..
and i just realised we haven't sat at the backrow for damn long already ah?!
with the ta-da-ta tune from jg 11 (as if people will know what are the notes with these 3 words, hahaha!) stuck in our heads cos christine and i kept singing it.
after jap lesson i went to sell books at bras basah. FINALLY too.
we've been wanting to sell since a year ago. \:
anyway those 2 thin and ancient books got me 50cents. hahahahaha!
nvm, it's still money. shall patronise different shops every week and find out which shop fetches the highest price! :D
walked to city hall to meet perckies!
ehh in the end it was full attendance except for wanqi who couldn't make it.
(tsuwie hannui cihui come next time ah hahaha)
looking forward to upcoming outing(s)! (:
