havent been using blogger for quite some time...

started work last fri... was kindof scary... cuz had to learn so much things in a day! me job was to take over sk this ntu guy and also nephew of one of my boss... so much paper work to do... so many diff types.. n its pretty diff to change typing habits.. like treating control as enter key.. enter key is a rather useless key... all that 'F's keys... etc etc. then the work starts piling on my tray... 1st day was bad... yest and today was ok haha..

then went on a short xmas trip with family to genting... did lots of shopping... gosh. i've spent a lot! mostly on clothes... hehe... and causing sis to be rather broke hahaz. took tt superman ride... but it rather looks like spiderman cuz of its colour and pattern... the ride where u lie down... hm... not tt scary cuz the slopes are short and gentle.... but but... so horrible... cuz the 'thingy' tt they lock u in... has lots of space inside... so when the entire thing overturns twice... we had to hold on real tight in case of falling backwards against the metal and head thingy... gosh... the overturn is too slow!! aniwae, i would say the spaceshot have more kick.. though me n sis didn't waste money on theme parks. ooo yax.. met mingzhi in the morning in sg be4 moving off... passed her her bday pressie... while i got mine! hehe... pooh bear i got... heys she must have realised i need a pillow on my long 8 hr bus ride... hahaz jkjk... but seriously the pooh provided much cushion needed on the long jammed bus journey. had a little xmas celebration with my siblings and many coussies in the hotel room at nite... hahaz exchanged pressies again..

came back rather late at nite due to many many delays... so sickening... the ah pek behind me is such a pain in the neck. kept pulling the curtains to his side w/o realising tt the curtains arnt movable!! aniwae, reached home late... yes late.

then was 2nd day of work on tues. sk's last day.... therefore last day to ask him stuffs.... and finally i took over his passes... and i've gain my freedom of accessing in n out of the office n building... hm... actually quite happy with my table... cuz its at the corner... and its rather big! wish my study table was as good. aniwae, hm... wasn't too bad yest... except i was warned i'm so very lucky to be starting with such little workload... means shoot. ohyarx on my 1st day of work... was treated to xmas lunch at cartel by angelina and michael... who very shun kou calls me xiao mei. which is very true cuz i'm the youngest in my dept!

then i realised today... i'm not alone... cuz taixin hears pple calling him xiao didi.. which is bad... hahahaz. xiao mei is ok... today.... or rather yest cuz its past midnite... sk finally not ard le... so i'm very much alone... but heh! i still got a very nice zoey who keeps answering my qns and helping me out with stuffs foreign to me.. aniwae, i was slacking away for the 1st hr cuz i had to wait wait wait wait for the dunnoe wad team to update stuffs into a pc before i can export and print them... so horrible... i was stoning at my desk! aniwae, the bank bans emails and messanging websites so couldn't access aniting... so bored. then finally they came! and i was left with little time to complete the urgent stuffs.. urgh.. aniwae, zoey was really nice.. and so are the 'uncles' sitting beside me... hahaz.. ok not uncles lah... kor kors... they are far too young for me to call uncle... they have been giving me chocs hahaz. and the gals are like a little far away fm my desk. aniwae, yarx though they are nice pple... dun think i'd love to have lunch with them... diff frequency i think.. hahaz or issit generation gap?

aniwaez, ooo dad mite be accompanying me for lunch 2mr!! maybe only lahz... i muz think of ways... like tapao-ing lunch up... or bringing bread for lunch or eating cup noodles... or ask taixin to makan with me... which is like wad... hes in the next tower... or i should get pple coming to ps to eat with me!!! hehe...

kays its late... reason y i havent been here is cuz i'm pia-ing da chang jin everyday after work!! work is hindering me in progressing in the show! i'm left with the last dvd... then sx can have the entire show =) then i can watch full house also ahahahz... okok sleep sleep.. its work again 2mr! time really flies damn fast when u're working... i miss the days in beijing =(

shhh... i'm blogging illegally in the office! lunch break have yet to end... had lunch all alone at ps... and got a shock to find out taixin also working in hsbc?!! hahaz but different tower... shoots man.. they send me to the wrong dept.. they should send me to the one full of temps...!! bored bored. more work coming in soon!

whee.. i'm better and not feeling as blur as b4... or maybe i'm still blur... cuz i cant rem where i put my itinery!! perhaps it went down the rubbish chute... oops. i hope i remembered wad happened. hahaz.

Day1. airport. flew 6 hours to beijing. sat beside zhiwei and mr sng. first time in my entire life talking to this 2 person. conclusion: zhiwei loves to sleep... and mr sng is wahhhh super lame. though so... he couldn't entertain me for the entire journey muahaha.. on certain part of the journey he was talking bout physics.. like oh how the wing flap goes up to create turbulance... then he'll bend across the aisle to talk to mstan bout phys.. omg. so i was left with nobody to talk to... luckily i managed to change seats with zhiwei so i could talk to the gals instead for the rest of my journey. experienced some unkind peeps on the plane le. ps... i still very much prefer sia's..

reached beijing. ooo cold. check out. immediately wore thick layers of clothes....followed our tauyou to board bus. found out our tauyou is called...yaoqiang. n the whole bus laughs cuz hes aka xiaoqiang- ge. immediately went to have dinner... then checked into hotel.

*faints* our side only had 3 rooms which are from our pple.. and so ulu.. but nvm. me n siewping's room was at the end while becca n dawn's were beside ours. yikes!! more headache.. cuz the first thing we saw was... BIG MIRROR facing our 2 beds... shrieks. man... i think only the 2 of us out of the entire co was so bothered about it... so we tried all kinds of methods trying to cover tt stupid mirror... and were frantically trying to put everything back in order, laughing our heads off everytime some1 threaten to walk past our room..(room door was wide open waiting for xiaoqiange to come) so farnie.. blankets... luggage clothes.. in the end... yea our master pieace was shifting the tv to the front plus sp's liuqin case plus 2 pillows on top of them... tada! and we covered most of the mirror muahahha... (btw everytime they cleaned the room they would shift the tv back to original place.. but every nite me n sp will shift it again... muaahhaha i think they got so fed up tt by the 6th day they didn't bother moving it back animore hahahz... save us the trouble too =) )

Day2. walk to tiananmen square. took lots and lots of photos... =) the big photo cost 80rmb! but really well taken... love tt pic. everybody was soooo freezing... walked across to the forbidden city... cool but we couldn't cross the middle bridge-the one only the emperor uses. bridge is called yingheqiao. went into gugong(forbiddencity) ... really beautiful place... see all the history of the emperors.. the study place, sleeping place... where all the officials have meetings etc etc... took some pics... cuz my camera failed me!!! it couldn't tahan the cold weather... the battery went really flat. so i koped a lot of pics from others haha.. yups.. we buzouhuitoulu - this term i very often hear from the guide. cant really describe in here but the place is majestic =) budden omg 13 yrs to build the place... the floor is made of jade... n dunnoe how many lives sacrifised juz to build tt stupid thing... followed on... went to some parks jingshan park. camera totally died-ed on me... no pics at all... seriously i forgot wad xiaoqiangge has said bout tt place. tt day also went to the underground city of beijing... cool. full of tunnels but majority sealed up. i should have secretly taken some photos hahaz but i guess theres nothing much to take also... couldn't even hear wad the lady infront was talking about... simply too many pple. her voice couln't travel tt far too... but aniwae the place supposedly can store 5mill pple !! really? or did i rem the fugure wrongly... aniwae there suppose to be also a school and many amenities etc. was built cuz a war was b/w china n russia was predicted to start... but it didn't. oh well. then went to a silk factory in the underground city... the silk blankets were really cheap.. but still its hundreds we're talking about.. at night watched a concert by zhongyangyingyuexueyuan perform. obviously it was so cheeemm..couldn't understand the concert... but then thruout we were noticing this erhu gal whos super pretty muahaha... *every1 sitting my column nods* went back to hotel. i felt so bad.. cuz i knew some pple were up to no good tt nite... and siewping had to keep awake (she was very tired) so tt she could open the door... and there pple came in when it was past midnite.. couldn't rem who they were... got becca dawn ks shuxuan mainly zr pple... n sang so loudly ... passed my my pressies =) and a magnet cake asking me to blow.. then not long after ms chua n co came to 'spotcheck' and chase them away... next day was more stressful...

Day3. had a little exchange programme with beiyuanzhongxue tt morning... was supposed to be shaoniangong but they sort of changed the plans.. hm.. it was more like a village school... with students coming from a more humble background... not from beijing.. made new frens got to noe the zr pple there... and we didn't really perform... but had a great time talking and taking photos.. they were really sweet to hang a banner welcoming us... received some bday songs on the bus... my god... ask me to give wad speech.. so embarrasing. aniwae, haha hurriedly thot of smth to say and juz thx every1 and zao back to my seat... went to yingheyuan to walk ard... as usual the temperature was horrible... fyi: the temperature never exceed -3dc... i mean never above tt... my face was freezing too.. had to use the muffler to cover everypart except my eyes... aniwae all the rivers except 1 froze... and pple were walking on them! i mean they really do have the guts... wad if the river underneath happened to be erm not so solid... ooops. down u go. aniwae, walked along the longest wad u call tt... painting gallery or smth... after tt was trip to yuanmingyuan-the destroyed park thx to russia... aniwae the ruins of the park is actually quite authentic and beautiful hahaz. and the maze was erm.. haha fun to walk.... pple were so fast... had dinner... n stupid xiaohong made fun of me... with his banana split candle... then watched this zhaji show... got acrobats balancing stuffs doing stunts and the bianlian stuffs... but erm. the standards were not tt good yet.. i think those u watch on tv better hahaz... got 4 major mistakes they made in the show lorx.. but aniwae..they are still pro. back in hotel.. wahhh this time the entire tanbo pple came over... with a fabulous cake =) and made me wear a crown. becca was complaining tt we dun have such cakes in singapore... she'd take pictures and send to breadtalk or wadeva to complain hahaz.. i think we made quite a din in the room.. and took lots of auto-pics etc... had a great nite... and not fogetting of cuz tt stupid xiaohong mimicking laoshi's voice to shock every1 of us.. hahahaz..

Day4. ahhhhh whole day practicing... not exactly lah. set off for zhongguoxiqufuzhong. where we were welcomed by the sch students who were again ard sec 2-3s meaning 15 to 16 yr olds... had our own practice before combining practice with them... *faints* they were sooo prooo... i mean really pro... every single one of them. yea they major in music but so wad u still get itimidated. my 'partner' from china was initially a bit dao and didn't really bother to help me.... had lunch. *faints* look at the portion!!! its like 3-4 times the size i would have eaten... thx goodness fukang accepted everything we rejected hahahhaz... who wants to trade with u food... i can give almost everything away... in the end me and dawn's plates were near empty hahahahaz... didn't look too bad... went back to the room to watch the other programmes for the performance... poor liane was stressed out. after tt was free and easy time... we couldn't really be bothered about practicing the 2 new combined pieces cuz we were hopeless... how to learn it in 2 hours.. and sommore the scores ah.. tsk tsk... but still we took out the zr... and hahaz didn't practice cuz dawn's new fren came over and invited us to go to their hostel.. yieepppeee we cast the zrs aside and qian dawn becca shuxuan and me went to the gals hostel to talk to them... wahhh crowd.. so many gals we talked to there... got to noe every1 better.. thank goodness my partner was there too... they are all soooo young... had a really wonderful time talking and singing with them.. hehe i took videos of us singing... exchanged tel nos with them... but a pity they dun have msn or emails... *bish* it will be damn ex to actually keep in contact with them... but aniwae...
dinner was my worst in my entire life... shared with becca... and unknowingly i ate a piece of beef!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh......... *punch* i almost suspected it was beef cuz of the stupid milk taste but it was so slight tt i continued chewing tt piece and ate it down cuz i dun believe they would only give one meat - beef... but aniwae, no thx dawn... i will continue staying away from beef... it sux. didn't taste nice though it does taste a tiny bit like pork.. had a performance tt nite at dunnoe which building. freaking cold lah.... and tt laoshi had to put us so down... in the end we took our jackets up to perform which was quite embarrassing.. but who cares... we were shivering on stage le.. the heat packs were of little help in warming our hands etc. then came the combined pieces... hahaz i guess many of us hun* until very pro huh.. me and dawn were like rite behind so we dun have to put on a 'show' for the audience... i only played at the lun-ing parts hahahaz... cuz tts where it'll drag.. then was the end. passed presents and took more pics... had supper... xiaoqiang bei xiaohong shua le... but we couldn't see the fun.. cuz we were at the most sian-ed table... hahaz i really dread sitting at this table everyday... means we have to shut-up.

Day5. wahhhh woke up the earliest of all days... 5.45 if i didn't rem wrongly.. this morning we were to climb the Great Wall of China (BaDaLing) took a 2 hrs plus bus ride to the area we were to climb. gosh. freaking cold... every1 was hugging so close together to keep warm... long walk from the place bus parked to the start of our climb. climb climb climb the wall... starting was ok... but it got tougher and harder and more difficult to climb... some pple gave up at the 2nd or 3rd fenghuotai(couldn't rem the name but koped it from fk's blog)... at the camel tt area was the worst... which was the 3rd fenghuotai i think.. the winds were super strong... and becca n dawn refused to continue the journey with me...almost got blown away by the strong winds... continued my climb with jinghang... up and up... the steps were steep... some were crooked some no steps at all.. inclining slope... so tiring and difficult... my fingers and toes were freezing by then le... i couldn't really moved them at all... then walked with many pple on my journey up... got jinghang siewping shuxuan sophia richard kahhoe etc etc... gosh.. so difficult.. finally climbed up 8 fenghuotai.. the highest spot of the wall... super cold.. sommore the part tt we climbed was in the moutains... freezing.. the climb back down was difficult too... bleh... was with shuxuan and sophia and we were practically staggering back hahaz... i didn't really look out which directions we were heading to cuz our heads were low - shielding ourselves from the wind etc... then bought some stuffs on our way back... and there we reached our destination =) great sense of achievement... but the winds were freaking scary.. everytime it blew i took many steps back...and thx to shuxuan i didn't fly away hahahaz... really.
went for lunch... n we were still feeling freaking cold.. the heaters they better upgrade!! so useless... after lunch went to zhongyangyingyuexueyuan, suppose to watch how they practice but but... we could only watch by the door and there was no point squeezing 20+ pple at each door juz to get a glimpse of the conductor's beird.... hahahaz... so off they went to the bookstore to buy stuffs.... while many of us waited on the bus instead... dinner then back to hotel... short but tired day... suprisingly my tighs were not huring or suan from the climb... more like the entire person juz felt like resting and sleeping...

Day6. morning... our first stop was a tricycle ride to hutong- somth like old kampongs of singapore but of cuz dun look like our kampongs lah... its juz old huts and houses where the old pple lives in the 'village'. look ard and took pics of how they live etc etc... quick tour. and back to bus... oh gosh. the tricyle drivers were like looking for tips... but we juz blindly walk away... poor jinghang and sophia... they were asked rite in the face for tips... hahahaz... and they told him to take from laoshi instead and zao back to the bus hahahaz.. smart. after tt was off to see bingdiao(ice carvings) whee.... really pretty carvings... ships animals bridges gods flowers tiananmen... and and and an ice slide!!!!!wheee... we had fun taking tt slide hahahaz... i think the assistants were really having headaches having to attend to so many of us taking the slide... they had to help us up after each slide... imagine so many of us having a few no of times... hahaz.. aniwae my camera almost died-ed on me again.... thx goodness it came back to life after having a short nap with my heatpack. after the 2nd day scare i've consistently charged my camera everynite for as long as i could.... even though its the weather's fault and not tt the batt is really low. tt afternoon was full of eating... first lunch then had tea and peanuts at laoshe teahouse... where we stayed for omg 2hours ++ was quite bored. got this shifu who poured tea with the long long teapot thingy... with all kinds of pro stunts... those tt we always see on tv... and ouch he scalded his hand while pouring for shuxuan's cup... haha not up to standard huh...tsk tsk... aniwae, many peeps bought the olympic 2008 stuffs from the shop there etc.. then after this went for a mini shopping at a supermart... bought some local foodstuffs etc then off to dinner. during the dinner there were some sort of performance... and this gal looked like jenny becca and xuan's frens from co 1st 3 months... hahaz then we were trying to take a photo of her on stage and finally becca n xuan went up to to a closer pic with her instead haha... back to hotel... oh was it this nite? i guess so... tanbo gals plus sophia xiajie were having our gals talk in becca's room etc... i guess we had fun talking hahahaz but peini seems to be always away missing out lots of stuffs we talked about.

Day7. morning... went to tiantan... place where the emperor prays to the gods of heaven... nice place.... and ouch i fell... say i m superstitious but maybe i took a photo i'm not suppose to take hahhaz.. oh well.. i only got 2 blue-blacks.. nice echo wall tt doesn't seem to work... took lots of pics... saw lots of old folks playing traditional games... and got this very cool ball game called the taji-qiu... wahhhh use taji to play ball... equipments almost like badminton's except their strokes are all taji style... no sound no force... there at this circle thingy i made my wish like the others did =) shhhhh... very impt wish.. in fact most impt. =) then after that the entire day was meant for shopping!! yea... finally shopping after like 6 days.... went to yaxiujie... its like a shopping mall... except.. u can name ur price!!! but then being so thin-skined we were quite horrible at trying to bargain... so horrible... so we didn't exactly get very good deals but as compared to singapore's prices.. its still very much cheaper.. btw the goods there are fakes... yarx.. and we had only an hour to shop... and i tell u the bargaining takes up soo much time tt we have little time left... aniwae it was an experience... the shopowners are really pro at hiking the prices and convincing us... and man.. some were rude.. some were juz incredible! they refuse to let u go when u walk away etc and they'll be arguing with u about the prices etc... wahhh... i think we really need practice... then in the afternoon went to wangfujing... phew a non-bargain place.. but didn't buy lots of stuffs cuz they sell REAL branded stuffs etc... so juz bought some ehhh... affordable stuffs.. ooo ya ya.. the music bookshop dunnoe y its a bookshop but it sells cds vcds dvds instruments music books etc...wahhh the cds were cheap... $3 in china $9.90 in singapore... those china parallel goods sold here... and hehehe i bought dvd which is original for a great deal =) and bought some guzheng strings ... gonna wack the person if he said he didn't want it... hm... didn't see any pirated cds etc in china at all... mz was telling me 1 only for s$2 bucks... aniwae buying original is good too =) didn't really buy ani cds cuz erm not really intersted in any at the moment... yarx... erm nothing much to shop at wangfujing. dinner hahaha... mr sng danced with the ladies... was really farnie... ohya juz to sidetrack.. besides tasting beef for the first time.. i tasted mutton for the my first time tooo... gosh... i REALLY HATE IT!!!! to others maybe nice but i thot it was as bad as beef... me and becca were sian-ed when we saw tt dinner was full of mutton again... fyi becca can eat beef but she totally hates the mutton smell like me... it didn't help tt our table was tt very sian table again...

i think i really need to brush up on my hokkien... well at least understand... was so horrible... i couldn't make out wad ah gong was talking about when he called this afternoon... made me so kan cheong for a moment... hope everythings fine..

aniwae, met up with vanessa and nayling this morning after i went to si.ma.lu. to pray with mom... then off we went to international plaza to look for job agencies and had our lunch there as well. hm... pretty lots of agencies n we erm filled in our particulars in 4 of the agencies there... heh.. issit too much or too little... aniwae, mostly juz required particulars... and only 1 the kelly services required us to do a little test!! we were provided with this paper with a report... and we were tested on our typing skills... the no of errors the speed etc... hahaz i thot it was quite fun... like the typing games we always did in primary school...

after tt nayling stayed on at tanjong pagar while me and vanessa went home! yea my home! hahaz.. i guess the dog did really freak her out... was barking like crazy... n vanessa didn't dare to go near him either... oh gosh.. and he made a mad chase at her.... wahhhhh... *wacks* nauti nauti... tsk tsk.. oh n i got a really pretty card and a pair of earrings from vanessa! heh thanks man! =) the 2 gals are soooo cute...

hm... warm day today... bought my contacts soln mini bottle for the trip and the eye drop... so ex lorx. i mean for a small bottle... i suspect he cheated me... aniwae, its not my fote to saaaa jiaaa so wadeva... i need it for the trip... hm... almost everything is bought/gotten except for food!!! hehe... i wanna bring chipsmore! and perhaps some cup noodles along... my big luggage is quite empty actually.. ok tts cuz i havent put in the shoes black bag etc etc..

ok so i'll be away from the 8th to the 15th... pls dun contact me on the fone... dun think i'll be able to read them while in beijing... read somewhere singtel only keeps text messages for 2 days before they throw them away... so i may not get to read them after i return aniwae.. so dun send ok.. heh so excited...2 more days

this new contact in my msn made me think back of the past.. yups.. he was a member of the acsbchoir who went sdyney with us and he happened to find a list of email adds on a pathetic piece of paper... which was like 3 yrs ago... n since i'm about to go on a sch trip again i was terribly trying very hard to recall of my days with ijchoir in sdyney... but gosh! i couldn't really remember much becuz the main activity we did there was to sing!! so i went thru all my stuff and finally found the itinery(spelling correct?) of tt weeks' trip in sec3. and to me now its quite hilarious to read it all over again. i realised how farnie it is... it has every single detail for example something like ' 10.30pm: boil water in kettle for next day' duh... where else do u boil water and erm its common sense to boil water to drink hello... another one... '1.45pm: take a nap (COMPULSORY) .... 4.45pm: we will go to selected pupils' rooms for sectionals with SLs but very quietly becuz it's against the rules...' hahaz for tt very first sectionals in huimin's room, me ngian and val were late!! hahaz we overslept when the alarm clock in the hotel room failed us =) and i have no idea y they made us wear sch tees when we r always wearing a jacket over them! ohya and i was pretty shocked when i saw acsb's jacket cuz it was of same colour as my windbreaker.. and thus i never once wore it when i was there hahaha...

aniwae juz take a look at my 'holiday' in sdyney... though tiring but had lots of wonderful memories.... but common sense would tell u tt my beijing trip is gonna be much more fun-ner =)

Day1. arrive. city tour... (excuse me... their city tour was practically touring thruout in the bus) stop at a roadside to take pics with the sdyney opera house and bridge which were v.v.v far away across the sea... (tt was called sightseeing... i'm very sure tts one of the few sightseeing) when we r still suffering from our jet lag...
gosh singing workshop like 3 hours after we touch down at seymour theatre. tt was torturing.. many of us were pretty tired.
next back to hotel. time for choir rehearsal (means singing again)
lunch, check into rooms...
few hrs later... sectionals!!! (yups tts the 1 the 3 of us were late.... more singing..3rd time in the day)
dinner, leave for seymour theatre to watch concert...(erm.. its a choir concert btw)

Day2. makan
9am: choir practice(sing) by the poolside... hahaz. yarx pool cuz there were no function rooms available... so they allowed us to sing by the pool which was at the 12th level or higher if i didn't rem wrongly... and by ms tham's standards practices were always full of hand gestures and excercises and so guess wad? we caught the attention of the pple of an high rise building across the road!! hahahaz and they started waving to us... and so 4 the next few days we were also always waving to each other...
leave for sdyney town hall which we were to perform for a competition -yea gold! aniwae, be4 tt... soundcheck (means more singing) then lunch then competition (sing) (on our way back to the hotel.. we actually met some drunk, bigsized gansters who tried to stop a grp of us and even cornered one of the sec4... scary.. and still we saw this man who was bleeding horribly on the head standing by a car..eeeks... wad a day it was actually already quite dark)
back to hotel... more singing awaits... combined practice with acs-(sing)
dinner, then attend a 'festival performance' at sdyney town hall.. duh choir concert lah wad else... oh yarx there was string orchestra too.. but i rather smth like mayday...

Day3. makan, report to function room for... choir rehearsal (sing)
finally... ooo shopping & lunch!! erm... for 2 hours plus only dun be mistaken...
back to hotel... short sectionals (sing)
coach ferries us to church.... ehz. nonono.. we're not going there for a service or to pray... its to perform! soundcheck and practice(sing), dinner, performance... n watch the rest perform and then m.a.g.l.o.w adds 'we must support acs whose performance is at the end...' pls ij gals imagine tt high pitch voice talking... hahahaz.. juz to digress for a while... noe why i hate all this watching pple performing n stuff... becuz there were at most 6 choirs which are constantly performing for each other to see at different places everyday only wad!!! such tt by the time we were coming home.. we could actually sing their pieces too... 'blow, blow wind blow... its the love tt we noe... such beauty is the land of australia....'
back to hotel.

hahaz if u r feeling bored juz stop reading.. this is for me to poke fun of..hehehe...

Day4. makan warm-ups + practice (sing)
coach brings us to Harbourside Amphitheatre Darling Harbour.. so grand rites.. yar rite. juz a small makeshift shelter at darling harbour... the 'stage' not even raised. performance! (sing) and watch the others perform.
and then they allowed us to go off 4 lunch, shopping yeas.. in our long skirts and heavy makeup! dun think we did lots of shopping... given only 2hrs plus.. we had to walk a long dist back to hotel... so 2 hrs is actually nothing!
dinner and over to sdyney town hall to watch (singing) performance... haiz..
return to hotel for.... combined practice (sing)

Day5.coach brings us to northholm grammar sch which was at the country side.. v.v. long journey.
sch exchange.. workshops(sing) lunch combined practice with both acs and the students there (sing) remembered also touring ard the place and games were exchanged... really frenly pple there.. they hung the singapore flag beside theirs juz to invite us!
travel on coach back to hotel.. was still in the afternoon... and so we were on our way to go to sdyney opera house to have a look! BUT BUT BUT BUT... gosh... of all things... our bus broke down for an hour!!!!!! tt was bad. so many of us had no access to the washrooms etc... the journey was damn long. and by the time we reached the opera house... it was dark. almost dinner time. so guess wad.. we could only stand outside to take photos with the opera house n the bridge...not to say cross tt wonderful bridge which would have cost more than a hundred bucks.. which takes 2 hrs as well. we didn't even step foot into the opera house... only metres away from it only ok... acsb had already finished their tour inside!! cuz their bus did not break down!!! eeeks. n thx to the wonderful cameras tt we were using back then.... the photos turn out rather black :( i mean not us but the scenary cant be seen at all... rem it was dark?
dinner.

Day6. finally i thot we didn't have to sing animore. rubbish. wishful thinking.
took a boat to manly beach.. ooo i love tt place... it was time 4 shopping till dinner time!! they sell those brands like roxy ripcurl bilabong etc etc... and duh they were much cheaper than in singapore... tts y i could buy stuffs from there.. still remembered i lost a yellownblack bilabong wallet i bought for brother =( the beach was nice.
dinner... oh wait. it was pushed back. so first back to hotel... coach brought us to angel place? ohyarx to hear the results.... gold gold!! hehe... we were the only choir to get a gold kaes... and so we had to perform at this command performance.... wad the.... means (sING!) and duh how can we not practice be4 our performance? then was a mini party... buffet etc there...

yar yar i'm tired. have yet to finish packing my luggage...

got the following from an email from eileen...

Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babes: What does Love mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca- age 8

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate," Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore." Cindy - age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (what an image) Karen - age 7

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark - age 6

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." Jessica - age 8

And the final one - - Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry…"

Hanging On to Dear Life

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter - ten men and one woman.
The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one had to leave, because otherwise they were all going to fall.

They weren't able to name that person, until the woman gave a very touching speech.
She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope,because, as a woman, she was used to giving up everything?for her husband and kids, or for men in general, and was used to always making sacrifices with little in return.

As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping their hands.

Train of Life

Some folks ride the train of lifeLooking out the rear,
Watching miles of life roll by,And marking every year.

They sit in sad remembrance,
Of wasted days gone by,
And curse their life for what it was,
And hang their head and cry.
But I don't concern myself with that,
I took a different vent,
I look forward to what life holds,
And not what has been spent.

So strap me to the engine,
As securely as I can be,
I want to be out on the front,
To see what I can see.
I want to feel the winds of change,
Blowing in my face,
I want to see what life unfolds,
As I move from place to place.

I want to see what's coming up,
Not looking at the past,
Life's too short for yesterdays,
It moves along too fast.

So if the ride gets bumpy,
While you are looking back,
Go up front, and you may find,
Your life has jumped the track.

It's all right to remember,
That's part of history,
But up front's where it's happening,
There's so much mystery.

The enjoyment of living,
Is not where we have been,
It's looking ever forward,
To another year and ten.

It's searching all the byways,
Never should you refrain,
For if you want to live your life,
You gotta drive the train!

really got a lot more intersting emails... woots 2am in the morning. should sleep soon. hmz. btw juz want to reccomend this blog http://studentssketchpad.blogspot.com/ i think its darn farnie.... comic strips drawn by 2 peeps bout singapore's schs. hahaz. tata..

Beginning Today
Author Unknown

Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday.
It is in the pastand the past will never change.
Only I can change by choosing to do so.

Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will alwaysbe there, waiting for me to make the most of it.
But I cannot make the mostof tomorrow without first making the most of today.

Beginning today I will look in the mirror and I will see a person worthy ofmy respect and admiration.
This capable person looking back at me is someoneI enjoy spending time with and someone I would like to get to know better.

Beginning today I will cherish each moment of my life.
I value the gift bestowed upon me in this world and I will unselfishly share this gift withothers.

Beginning today I will take a moment to step off the beaten path and torevel in the mysteries I encounter.
I will face challenges with courage anddetermination.
I will overcome what barriers there may be which hinder my quest for growth and self- improvement.

Beginning today I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time.
Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image, mydesire to succeed or my capacity to love.

Beginning today I walk with renewed faith in human kindness.
Regardless ofwhat has gone before.
I believe there is hope for a brighter and betterfuture.

Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart.
I will welcome newexperiences.
I will meet new people.
I will not expect perfection frommyself nor anyone else: perfection does not exist in an imperfect world.
But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles.

Beginning today I am responsible for my own happiness and I will do things that make me happy... admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen to myfavorite music, pet a kitten or a puppy, soak in a bubble bath...
Pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.

Beginning today I will learn something new; I will try something different;I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer.
I will change what I can and the rest I will let go.
I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.

Beginning Today, And Everyday.

i'm back. =) juz finished fmaths paper2 an hour ago. and yeps! tt was my last paper!! hm... cant really explain how i'm feeling now.. but why does it feel like how i did last friday... not exactly any big difference. juz tt, i can watch tv, guilt-free.

ok. was kindof expecting to see pple online... but where the hell every1 go??!!! ok fine. every1's outside playing. so here i am. waiting to find some1 to talk to online.

looking back. a'levels were overall... slightly tough. my most worrying subjects are chem, phy and gp. i think phy paper 2 crushed me. it affected me quite badly tt for the next few papers i'll be so paranoid about the difficulty. aniwae, the moment i stepped out of the hall after tt irritating paper... all i could think of was 'ucles is trying to dash my dreamsss....!!' was pretty bad. chem paper3 was... haiz... i wrote crap for the option topic.. =x. the other smaller papers were still ok. hope they saved the day! hm.. maths was ok. so was fmaths. knew there gonna be mistakes in fmaths papers... but overall i'm still rather satisfied seeing my past 2 yr's results of fmaths were rubbish. muahaha. ok i'm juz happy tt at least i can do mechanics! hahaz.

exams aside. my inbox is bursting!!!! guess whos the culprit? hahaz. juz joking. i'm ashamed to tell u that i have yet to read about 50+ mails of urs, rf... remember the last time i told u it was only 3% full... its already 60%. hahaz. now i'll have all the time to read ur mails!... actually not really... still very busy after the A's.

thankgoodness my schedule dun clash =) co practice starting this saturday!! i'm kindof worried. i've lost touch with music... and erm. guess i dunnoe majority of the pple in co rite now... will the feeling still be the same? hm... aniwae, quite surprised tt theres only 2 dazus... and tanbo wont be with zhang laoshi animore =( yupz but aniwaes, becca was suggesting tt we should go get our flu jab after the briefing this friday... but but but.... i thot must be 1 week before? will it last for the next 2-3 weeks? hm... aniwae, hoping to see snow this dec! *crosses fingers* and ohya... chew was asking me to bring home 'desert sand' for her hm... where can i find them?!! in china's desert? or should i juz wait for the sand storm to come? hahahz.. ok if we do get into deserts then... btw r there deserts in beijing?

and yupz. going to genting over christmas. all 16 of us. ok rite 15 family members to be exact. well... not sure wad i can do or see up there... kindof boring le.. but aniwae, ming zhi will be going up on the same day too! hahaz. all cuz of her richie ren's concert... and immediately the next day she'll be returning home. wow. while i was telling nayling bout it... she was psyco-ing ivan to go up with her hahaz... cuz they stay at such close approximity to genting. was thinking of asking nayling to bring us shopping ard kl(not all 15)... but dad says kl issn't safe... hm.. oh wells.

yeaz. harry potter.. =) meeting up with my dearies this thursday =) hahaz. shopping with mummie 2mr, maybe wednesday too.. then thursday .... friday- got co briefing, sat-dazu and got class bbq at dunnoe where is tt faraway place... sunday- hahaz back to guzheng class!!! i've like skipped 3 times already juz becuz of A's! tts like $$. really lost touch with guzheng.

and ohyeps. dad bought a new scanner last week =). the old 1 should have spoilt earlier... so tt i could use the new 1 to scan stuffs for rf etc. but now tt a's is over... dun think the higher-graded scanner would be of much use to me. but its still so cool!

aniwae, strange but i think my hp bill is gonna exceed the standard price this month. i got pretty shocked when i checked the call times - only 30 free minutes talk time left. and its another 9 days to december. i better not use too much. and i guess my sms over the limit le... =x.

hmz... shall stop writing and start watching! hehe... all the vcds awaiting me =) soph & jo : jiayou!!!

worried over... wad else but exams! hmz.. really horrifying.

went to school today to pay up for the beijing trip. it was quite wasting of time, money(bus fare) and effort... aniwae, decided yesterday tt perhaps i should do some fmaths... but turns out the qns i'm not sure about were all fmbs.. so its a no-no to see tt teacher. then ms goh wasn't in sch!!!!! so couldn't ask her to teach me reduction formula!!!!! in the end got fukang to teach me the fm qns.. but aniwae, yarx. didn't do much other than tt... and decided to have lunch with mom instead of continuing to stay in sch..

went to temple to pray cuz its 九月十九. yarx. so then went for lunch at the yummy laksa stall... and went northpt while waiting for mom to come back from her groceries shopping... and... i bought a book! big deal. yarx. hope its a good investment. hahaz. then. back home. didn't finish wad i'm suppose to finish today... and wad the hell m i still doing here!!! yarx.shall continue with my half-done chem p2 later.

hahaz if only facai's so guai. his recent adventures are: tearing a $2 note. tearing my paper. biting and breaking my hairbands. juz broke a cup tt day. basically thats all.. otherwise hes such a cute and adorable dog. especially when hes asleep!

aniwae, last day of school. had the farewell assembly today. a mini concert + prize presentation etc. the gp 'ads' put up by the teachers were rather nice. got some gifts.. including a rose from amelia, chocolate from mr ari (i flattened them when i lean against my bag.. and it melted, btw its hersheys choc) and some hello kitty lollipops... which i merely sucked a few times before throwing it away. hm. the rose is 'blooming' at home. dun really fancy flowers.. cuz they're not lasting... but since its from amelia... thx =) hahaz. trying to keep it alive a.l.a.p. got back the prelim results slip and entry proof. yikes. so near. 3 weeks left. took quite a no. of pictures with my classmates! but shoots... i juz relised tt i missed out taking with ian and rahul! and then.. there was some head contantly appearing in my pics... which i feel like cropping it away hahaaz. oops. tts bad.. dun worry ani1 reading this wont be the one i'm talking about haha. ok if it so happens tt u are reading this then too bad.. keep guessing yea yea.. and then tt nayling didn't come to sch.. hump! so yarx. no pics with her either.. probably my last photo taking session in school.. a bit sad to leave school.. not exactly cuz aj is such a wonderful sch.. but it gave me lots n lots of memories! and erm.. the world outside is not tt beautiful.

shoot. i'm so sorry. i last minute decided not to go for the maths timed prac... ended up dawn was also looking for me.

aniwae, yupz. quite excited about going beijing. i'll be bunking with siew ping =) better than accepting dawn's invitation to sleep on the floor while she and becca take the bed. hahaz. ok she was joking while we were having pe. cuz we were 'odd' and happen tt siew ping didn't have a roomie too. hm. 12 j2 gals going only. but who cares hahaz. it suppose to be enjoyment time after all our hard work. aniwae, theres like 3 days of exchange and 5 days of fun =) and best still... we only have to learn 2 songs! haha of which 1 is our super most familar jiang jun ling. so tts like only 1 song to learn. aniwae, theres a possiblity tt we'll see snow!!! heard other ccas are going too.

aniwae, we were all shaking our heads when the indian scholars were like constantly talking to the teachers about their exam papers... hahaz. ivan was commenting... aiyo so greedy.. so much already still want more.. hahaz. as usual, kanav the smartest this time round i expect. he got 98.5 for fmaths! though the other indian scholars got As as well but their As were stark contrast as compared to his... hm. then we were like commenting... aiyo how careless... 3 half marks also can lose! hahah. especially when he completed his paper in 1.5 hours and have 1.5 left to check lahz. hahaz. ok. nvm. chris wasn't bad too... wrong should say chris was good too... 96.

hmz. went for lunch at northpt with nayling after school today. then walked ard. though theres nothing much to see.. ohya. hahaz. after reading my msg to ivan in tt envelope, he finally remembered he owed my an ice-cream!! hahaz. cuz i was screaming in tt paper.. my ice-cream! and so happen we were walking out of sch towards the mrt together... and he almost wanted to stop and buy from the ice-cream man.. but being nice me... obviously i dun extort pple for ice-cream cuz of 3 pieces of test-pad papers haha. aniwae, nayling was joking.. shes got a date with me.. no time for ur ice-cream. hahaaha.

hm. should be back to studying soon again. pple pls remind me to study or i'll fail. i guess i need some pushing. maybe i suggest mum should limit my entertainment time each day... and nag at me to STUDY.. instead of tempting me of tv shows... like wad she do so often... a typical thing she does: 'hey mei come come see.... got XXX acting.... issit her hur?' or else it would be: 'hey Xo'clock got show leh... why never on.. this one nice to see..' etc etc. hahahaz. sounds like many pple would wish their mums are like tt... hhaha perhaps i'm juz weird. at least till A's are over?

i think my life has been full of studying only... such that during wendnesday's chemistry paper i got a shock when i read the date 14 September. really shocked. cuz the next day (yesterday) was to be my brother's birthday. totally lost count of date.. aniwae, this is the first year we did not celebrate. no cakes... no cakes for ani of our birthdays this year. blowing of candles not allowed..no birthday songs. but surely presents are not to be missed out =) with sista around, presents can never get cheaper. hahaz.
