raya 2008

pak haji family. haha. who always force us to go mosque to pray.

kak siti, me and sis! my relatives!

look at that! ffooooddd again!!!

fooddddddddd. heh.

:) my brother is taller than me? isey man.. now than i realise.



of course there are more pictures. too many. when i have the time and energy to do it, i'll do it soon.

four days of fever and sore throat is killing me.

gah, i need sleep. but 1 more essay to go!

i can do this!

chiao.

i wanna quit school.

i could go on the whole night. i dont mind. study.study. study. but i need to sleep. although i cant feel my body asking me to sleep. dang. cikgu added like 5 more essays on top of the 6 essays for homework. due next week. wait, means today. and when i finished like 6 essays, she msged me that we can email by thurs.... i could have done my geog essays! which ms leow have been chasing me for. and many many many more work that i havent finish yet....................... i wanna scream.

i think this year hari raya, i'll be boiling ketupat while writing essays.

and i havent cleaned out my room yet. dust dust dust and more dust. oh, toilet cleaning, kitchen cleaning, vacuuming and mopping session on mon night.
ah, better get back to work la.

chiao.

sleep. but not sleeping actually.

i cant resist not talking to my blog. well, this thing is the only avenue for my thoughts which sometimes doesnt make sense. but nvm.

you see, fasting isnt just physically restraining yourself from food and drink. well, that is already one big challenge by itself. but theres also the mental and emotional battle. especially when you are having your a level exams. which actually will determine the next phase of your life. plus all your emotional and mental problems, dilemmas that you are facing. which obviously you dont go around telling everyone that right. but fasting shouldnt be a hindrance to your success by making it as an excuse to skip revision. which i did actually coupled with tiredness.

sigh,i'm terrible. suck. i keep falling asleep. and today, overwhelmed by this migraine i skipped school. (mummy said i didnt sleep properly. maybe i did have enough sleep, just that when i sleep, i dont really sleep. like i'm still thinking about all those stuff that i studied earlier. i cant help it you know)how terrilbe am i. yes, very terrible. now, i have a gp essay, 2 human geog essay, 1 physical geog essay, 1 econs essay and 1 math revision paper. eh how cool. thats only homework. i havent listed out all that i missed today. and my own revision.

looks like its gonna be a longgg night.

and i havent been putting in much effort or using my brain much lately. study!

I CAN DO THIS.
err, can i?


oh, oh, hari raya is next week!!!! yessa!

chiao.

i wanna quit school.

i wanna quit school.

ok not that bad la. haha.

ok, not funny.

prelim results made me feel like i wanna jump into a pool and submerge myself in it for 5 hours.

but guess what. five weeks. let me repeat fiveee weeks till my life, my future is secured.
err, that include all my hari raya holidays. sigh.

A levels. my future.

God, are you there for me? i'm scared.

looks like this blog will be on hiatus for sometime.

chiao.

slap me.

somebody please slap my face. you'll be doing me a favour this way.

i havent been working hard. omg.

i dont care i'm gonna mug to night. all the way.

*smacks face. i should be ashamed of myself. a weekend over. and i only did 2 drqs, 2 essay outlines, 1 malay full compre paper and 1 essay??

the list of work... is really long. at this rate, i'll be dead for As.

aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. damn.
sigh.
chiao.

happy goober!

geee, i'm so happy now. thanks for the night khai, hiq, sha, kam. really made my day! gosh, i cant remember when was the last time i laughed so histerically like that. HAHAHAHA. oh man, only you girls can make my loss of teeth sound so funny. and khai! you made me feel so embarassed! oh, and ken+barbie! HAHAHAHA.

ok, tmr i'm gonna work, work, work. no slacking. no more.

i look at how people work, i feel guilty. i'm so slack now. tsk, i really should work really hard and put in the effort.

miracles wont happen if i dont put in the effort.

havent been using my brain much. tsk.

but oh well. weeeeeeeeeeeee. :))))
oh, lagu raya da klua!!
chiao.

roll it up!!

now, its not the time to fret, but to roll up your sleeves and keep working.

i know its going to be tough. to push up grades for almost every subject. i'm feeling anxious, scared, that i wont be able to do this. will i be able to? i dont know. i even had this weird dream. it was during As and i was taking my gp paper. and i had to go through so many obstacles. i woke up crying because i was scared like shit.

but, i just wont give up and keep working!! especially on my geog. sigh. and math. bigger sigh.

looking through my prelim papers, i was like oh damn it! why didnt i write this! i know this! oh damn it! why did i write this! its total crap! yeah. like pure enlightenment man. kah ching! and boy, i was impress with my econs essays. haha.

but at the rate i'm going.. there wont be much diff. i really should work harder. like how really really behind time i am on my schedule. *smacks face.

so friends out there, keep working yeah? dont give up! :) oh, all of us should take care of our health. like how i am desperately trying to. and if i were to get enough 8hrs of sleep, i have to sleep at 8 pm. wth right.

right.. essay outlines, here i come.

chiao.

drive, drived, driven

i kind of like lost all of my drive to study. gosh.

i know i need to straighten my thoughts real soon. if not..
god help me.

maybe i should talk to someone.
but who??


Duffy-mercy.

i love love love this songggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
chiao.

SHOCKED.

i'm still trying to recover from the shock of my prelim results. yeah, speechless. so disappointed. and the worst thing is, mummy didnt even scold me when i told her my results. she just told me that this is prelims and that i had worked hard. yeah right, why if i had worked so hard but my results are like those who didnt study? well, accept it, studying hard doesnt gurantee you good grades. thats jc life.

now, i seriously dont know where to begin, how to begin. or how to go about improving myself in time. only 45 days before my first paper.

can some being in this world tell me!!!??

oh my. i'm going insane.

friday- broke fast with mcs peeps. heee, its been long since i laughed till my stomache hurts. guess, i was trying to delude myself that day. food was awesome. i ate octopus! wooh. and and sushi, sashimi, ice-cream, cheesecakes, satay, babequed salmon, dory and err.. cant remember, too many. ah, i feel like a glutton after that. haha.

right, now where do i start my revision again...

chiao.

wrong.

whats wrong with me?!

oh, i really cant cope with this!

:(

was not in it and never will. well, never been a part of it. nevermind, i'll just get on with my life.

chiao.

BLOOD BATH

how about i finished school? haha. I LOVEEEE MY NEW TIME TABLE. kihkihkih. eye, i have tons of work to do uh. like geog, lit and math. but here i am, digressing. *smacks face.

alright, so far, feedback from teachers abt prelims is that its ... BLOOD BATH, for me, that is. the answers that they went through were not the same as what i think i had written. so yeah.. thats it man.

sigh.

and studying + fasting = extreme tiredness. at least, if i am tired during normal days, i'll be able to drink coffee or something.

alright! no more complaining! perservere!!

chiao.

nothing is black and white

is my decision the right one? i dont know and i will never know. sometimes, i feel glad that i made this decision, but there were times when i felt it was all a mistake. regretted all this in a way.

but life is a series of decision making. and these decisions are never either/or. decisions are complex, and there are always competing factors. to look for simple explanations is bias of the human brain, but it doesnt correspond to reality. nothing is ever as starightforward as it appears.

so, lets not ponder on our past decisions but make the best of what we have now.

like the looming a levels. -_- (raghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.)

today, daddy said something that made me think. it was one of those rare moments where i actually talked to him about school and friends. so i was telling him about some of my musically-talented friends. how some can play a single note and make the hairs of the people who listened to it stood up. how they can create such beautiful music without much effort. then he said that its because they are sincere in what they do. thats why they can do it well.

so, havent i been playing sincerely?

havent i been doing everything straight from my heart?
i think i have.

sincerity. so many questions. nevermind, lets stop here.

and dont mind the time. i just cant sleep.
chiao.

cakes and indian movies.

yesterday was, erm yeah, basically wasted. woke up late, went to school to celebrate ms leow's birthday. ran around the school trying to find a lighter but haha, no body in ac smoke la.. haha. ran around school again trying to make sure she stays put in school. then trying to keep quiet while we make our way to staff rm 3 but, neh, we made so much noise the whole oldham wing could hear us. then tried ducking under the door so that she wouldnt see. haha so funny. heh, she was quite shocked and touched that we gave her this surprise! haha.

one vital rule when you are fasting: keep away from food. seriously.

oh,oh, this pick up line is so funny: 'Are your feet tired? Because you've been performing Tawaaf in my mind all day long?'

Do you work for al qaeda? u hijacked my heart
-credits to irna lestari. hahaha. cracked me up laughing.haha.

i miss watching hindi movies. haha.

bole chudiyan


i used to be able to sing the whole song in hindi ahh. haha. now.. ermm. haha.
their dancing reminds me of the attempt that mum tried on me to enroll me in an indian dance class. but she withdrew because the dancers do some hindu prayers before dancing. so, of course, mum quickly take me out. ah, cant imagine if i were an indian dancer now. hahahaha.

today, another wasted day. somehow, i feel happy. to delude myself that As are not anywhere near.

gosh, i dont want to regret later. ok, i'll do something later.i promise to myself. :) back to hindi movies!!!!! wwweeee

chiao.

turandot

ooogay, turandot yesterday was awesome. cool man.(its pronounced with the 't') ah, now i can relate to the song and story better than ever. oh, and the ping pong pang part is funny!! hahaha. but the only thing is that its quite long winded la. i was like 'get to the point!!!' during the play. broke my fast at bk with enjia, sheree, eugene and mel. mmmmm, mushroom swiss is niceeeeee. had to endure eugene's singing of nessum dorma. haha. then we ran all the way up to circle 4. haha. saw so many ang mohs and weird speaking people. i guess normal singaporeans cant really appreciate operas. reached home at 12am. nice... and luckily mummy was asleep by then. save me the nagging. oh oh! the orchestra was GOOD. and during one of the intervals we heard rhapsody in blue being played. haha. the clarinetist and flutist was good!! ah, now the tune's stuck in my head.

anyways, i finally got down to some studying. yay! i am so proud of myself! ahahaha. i think i work better under less stressful conditions. halfway thru physical geog;hydro. think can finish by tomorrow. but the library full of jc students. scary leh, looking at them studying so hard. and i've been doing a lot of housework! like cooking! applause please. hahaha. but i burnt my little pinkie. :( now thats painful.

tomorrow ms leow's birthday. AA3 is gonna give her a surprise. hehe. and i'm going to be a good classmate and bake a cake and celebrate with them. say wow. haha. i should try to spend more time with them while we're still a class. yup, i should.

ah, its 10pm, now time to conference call with my geog mates! study time!

chiao.

Good days. (:

the white orchids, i love them!
seri!(: with our ice creams!

i think i should change my template. hhmm.

i kinda miss school. like my normal routine. lessons in the day, then band at night. the saturday practices. I FREAKING MISS MY EUPHONIUM LAAAAA. yeah.

somehow, i want to end this holiday. so that i'll be busy and and not slacking.

mummy is the most fickle minded person ever! heh, she let me go turandot!!! yessa. but still a nono to ice skating. alritey, after As, ice skating is on my list.

lets see.. the irritating wireless router has been throwing tantrums on me the last few days. made me sign in and out every few mins.

fri was marvellous. teachers day celeb in school. yup, wouldnt make it to where i am now without these people who never gave up on me. no matter how noob i was, they still bother to teach me patiently. amazing. thank you teachers, sincerely, deep from my heart. and the band performed. funny la, david was dancing on stage. hahahaha. cracked me up. and the ogls made a perf with a vid clip. it sang 'we love cephas chan like we love his mother'. omg. cephas was sitting right behind me and his face was red la. hahaha.

after that lunched with seri. so glad i have such a good friend and confidante. caught up with each other. went home to change for dinner. and yeah, i was late. plus my shoe had to open up at the soles just at that moment. nice eh. cabbed there. cost me a bomb. mandai orchid garden was beautiful. i love the white orchids! and i got the chance to meet mr and mrs khoo and talked to them.. PERSONALLY. ehehehe. wah, they're nice people. took photos, walked around the garden and ate. food was ok i guess, i was already full from the lunch with seri. homed.

sat was shopping at geylang to get our stuff for hari raya. hehe, i'm like ready for hari raya already. hahaha.

oh, fasting month is here!! it means good food and family time! hehe.

alright, really should start on econs maybe tonight. yeah, i should.

chiao.

sigh.

yesterday was a good day. today WAS ok. untill mum had to be in one of her bad mood days. and i am a victim of her wrath.

sad. ): now i cant go for turandot and ice skating. there go my $38++. sigh.

shall say more when i feel better. i need chocolates.
fasting month doesnt mean you cant go about your daily routine as per normal what. ggrrr.

i should stop blog-hopping. heart-stirngs pulled with every photo of those places. i didnt know it will be this hard.

chiao.

boreddddd

today, i finally did something fruitful! like cleaning out my room. yes! and did some researching for gp. haha and read. halfway through khaled hosseini's book. ah, it pulled my heart strings. like ouchhh. yup, and tomorrow baking galore! wwwwwweeeeeeee. and movie date. egg-citing!
but i'm still bored stiff i can faint. better sleep early, need to wake up early tomorrow! wweeee.

Blessed is He in Whose hand is the kingdom, and He Who has power over all things,who created death and life that He may try you.

let go of it. slowly. and time will heal. i'm sorry for all the bitterness. i just cant help it.

chiao.

post-prelims.

warning: super uber long entry.
on sun was interesting. i followed my family to a wedding on my mum's side. this family is like super malay jawa la. then theres kuda kepang, a horse dance. a javanese dance which is always associated with black magic or something like that. 'cos the dancers will always get possesed and eat glass la, climb up trees, and get all scary-mary. so my sis got spooked. haha. she ran away when she saw them dancing. like really ran away. hahaha. but i find them quite interesting though. the instruments that they played were those like we played during mcs drama this year. how i missed drama!!the girls dancing with the "horses"

the guy with the red mask looked really scary. i dont dare to go near him too. oh,oh! the groom is an indian guy. like pure indian but convert muslim.reminds me of grandad. then they had this tradition which i never knew, throwing coins over the couple! but i didnt go and pick it up though. it was near the red mask guy. and the food was delicious la.

i feel kinda weird, listening to the recording in swiss. but nevertheless, it was nice. and i started laughing the part before fugue. hahahaha. and i didnt know the tempo was THAT fast. wow. haha. but charming asia was especially nice i think. moved me.haha. like i can see how everyone was playing and how dr lee was conducting and all.

anyway, i've caught up with my sleep, my family and everything else. ate so much, read so much, watch videos so much, now i feel bored. the only thing to do now is to bake. BUT the elecric mixer is at my grandma's house! how to bake the cake! ):

so glad that prelims are over. let me see, how was prelims? haha. screw it.

gp was about celebrity activism. amazingly, it was first time i finished my aq! say wow. physical geog after that was.. as usual, i didnt have time to write finish my essay. and thank god i studied mass movements, erm no, not study, read through and it came out. but i dont expect good marks. next was econs drq and malay lang. i studied about public goods and merit goods and i freaking forgot about it! my mind just went blank on that question. gosh. i really didnt know what happened to me at that moment. malay lang compo was damn freaking killer la. and the paper 2 was equally like, huh, what the hell are they talking about? sigh. it was the first time i think malay is damn difficult. so sad you know. nvm, next was math. rightttt. my worst scoring subject ever. but the most effort i've put in. and during the paper just proved me wrong. i couldnt do half the pure math part and some questions on stats. esp on applications on differentiation and integration. sigh. left that whole freaking damn part blank. during the paper i could hear people sigh-ing and haiz-ing and sigh-ing. haha. guess that paper wasnt easy either. i dont know. weekends was spent studying geog with gerd, eliz, eng loong and kenneth koh. from bishan library, went to sarah's house. yel tried to be teacher but we ended up laughing. hahaha. felt tired from all that laughing. sun tried to study but came down with fever. mon, malay lit paper and yeah, i didnt study for it at all. too tired. anyway, i've started studying that subject since after june holidays. so should be alright. hopefully cikgu can decipher my atrocious handwriting because i was rushing like mad la. imagine 5 three page essays in 3hrs! zomg, my arms felt numb after that. and i was the noisiest with my nose because it wouldnt stop leaking.tsk. tried to study human geog. but fever still persist. mum scolded me because i insisted on fasting. i was fasting the whole exam period but had to stop that day. sigh. so took the exam without studying half the topics tested. which is ALOT. and i reckon, failure. whatever. econs paper 2 next. studied again macro. but i think the paper was freaking damn difficult la. sigh. so much for putting in sosososo much effort. lets see how the results yeah, if it equals to all the stinking effort i've put in. that day, went to times and saw so many new books! aahhh. i gotta have them! sat went to malaysia. sun came back. got myself 2 books! a thousand splendid suns and p.s. i love you. cool la. i still have my john grisham books. bro called me a nerd. he said that i should buy clothes and shoes instead of books. well, i do, just not that often alright.

now i feel damn bored. hhhmmm, i want to go cycling! anybody coming?! hahahha. i want to cycle so fast, i can feel the wind rushing thru my hair! wwweeee!

cant wait for ramadhan! sometimes its kinda hard to explain certain things about islam. you have to study it to understand it. like why we pray 5 times a day. why we fast. why i wear a scarf outside. why we dont drink alcolhol, etc.

righttt, now here's the bigg question. when am i going to start work again!? hahaha. i'm becoming a lazy bum. tsk. this is bad.

you all keep talking about turning back time. oh nono, dont ever turn back time. to the time when you all were at that place. although it was a damn good period for you guys. it was the worst 2 weeks of my life. never, dont ever turn back time. imagine the loneliness, the sense of loss, the sense of being left out of something i've always dreamt about. the hurt, the rejection when i was supposed to join you all back for the next comp, never will i want to experience that ever again, never to remember ever again, never want to talk about. sometimes at night, i still cry myslf to sleep when i thought about this. dont talk about this. i never want to know what happened there. its better for me not to know. so that i know that i never missed anything in my life. thank you.

chiao.

PRELIMS ARE STINKING OVER

i'm done with prelims. and what a way to end it. it was the worst econs paper i've ever sat for. i couldnt finish the paper because i was too slow. sigh. so much for studying so hard for it. looks like i'm gonna fail econs. kinda scary,thinking about it. i only have like 2 months before As to train my brain and my hands to work faster. plus other subjects. omg.

but i'm prolly the happiest woman now. movie marathon. haha, while eating chocolates. i'm eating so much now. tmr i'm going malaysia. muahahahahahaha. i deserve this. i worked so hard since june. now, a few days rest. then, back to books again. looking back at the exam, i have ALOT to work on. sigh.

i dont have the mood to blog now. i want to catch up on my life. hehehehehhehe.

chiao.

till then, goodbye.

temples throbbing, eyes painful and dry, hugeeee eyes bags! body clock screwed and mind in distress.
huge pills are still part of my meal. thank god the stitches are gone. but i still cant eat some food. i can feel the side effects. sigh, this is scary.
econs 3/4 done. math 3/4 done. malay lit done. screw geog. gp.. just whack la.
2 more days to first paper.
god help me.
i should complain and whine less.

untill then, this blog will be on a hiatus till prelims are over.

chiao.

its not my fault that things turn out this way. some things just happen. and they happen for a reason. and i guess nobody bother anymore about each other. all they care is just to survive this period of time. its unevitable, thats life.

work it brain!

I wish i was a punk rocker.- Sandi Thom
oh, i soso love this song!



sigh. my brain just wont work anymore. i did 2 essays, i compre, some math questions which i got it all wrong :( and econs vjc drq which i really understood! :). and i still havent finish my 2 lit essays and math differentiation, integration and graphs. and macro econs!
head throbbing like mad the whole day. udaya said i looked stressed. nah, i'm just tired and this migraine is killing me.
stoned through malay. cikgu was talking like the japanese bullet train. so fast, my jaw just dropped looking at her go through the essay questions. nvm, i have consult with her tmr. 5 periods of gp lesson was super funny. haha, xin min was high! haha. but i slept thru half of it. just cant take it.
i need to learn to focus!!!!!!!! and remember what i had revised. omg, i couldnt remember what i had revised in june for differentiation and integration!!!!!! howhowhow!!

i need sleep la, and maybe wake up at 4am to continue. call me mad or what, i dont care anymore. i just want decent grades.

ragh

dover mrt so empty.

as empty as my heart.

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i remembered during one of the practices, we were playing charming asia, when we were so in tune. i was so happy and i smiled so broadly and dr lee made fun of me. haha. and edwin was like.. omg, this is so nice! yeah, i was amazed with myself too, that we could actually play so in tune.

yesterday was a stupid bad day. the seminar in the morn at yjc about malay literature was a waste of my time. gggrrr. woke up at 8 am and the seminar starts at 8.30am. nice one. rushed like a mad woman. reached there and it was just presentations and more presentations on the papers that these people had researched on. my god, if uni is gonna be something like this... errmmm, i dont know if i'll survive. half the time i was staring into space. then made my way to esplanade to study econs. which isnt going anywhere near progress. sigh, my pace is really slow. and i still havent eaten anything since morning.. and my medication too. so i was getting all grumpy. and my temples were throbbing. rushed to acsi. and i was stuck in the human traffic. ergh, there was ndp preview. sooo great. *sarcasm. reached acsi late. missed first 2 songs. met khairul and said i was getting shorter. hhmm, that boy! too bad darren was there. hahaha. then had to go off like soon after that. ggrrr. mum was calling me. kept reminding i need to rest. and that i am still recovering. ok, ok, i will take of myself ok.

sigh, i really should learn to focus.

chiao.
because no one will take care of you other than yourself.

i thought i was ready to face the world again. but the journeys that i took yesterday from tamp to yishun to city hall then to acsi aft that to tamp again made me realise that i am alone in this world. because i got lost on the way and all. tried to find food but all shops were closed or theres nothing that i can eat. so pathetic... so i've decided to be stronger and more independent. but when i was listening to the concert, damn, i really thought i was stronger than that. the dam just broke, and flood, flood, flood. luckily nobody was sitting beside me except peihoon. so no one saw anything.

ok, i just miss everybody ok. yes i miss you all sososo much, i just wanna cry. i miss acband so much. the slightest association can crumble me to pieces. and i feel so left out that night, i wanna run away. thats my fault, for being away for too long. i'm sorry, its all my fault. i just to play my eupho back. i shouldnt have undergo this surgery. then i may be able to go to swiss. then maybe i will be able to go for sibf. and maybe play for the last time during national day. bleh, whatever la.

looks like i've been missing alot on band these few days. tell me about missing band. i cant even go to school and meet my band friends, play my instrument for the last time and study like other people. ergh, i wished... nvm. i feel so terrible. gah.
back to econs la.
chiao.

the BIG cut.

my blog is in a mess. when i feel like tidy-ing it up, i'll do it. untill then, it shall be like that.

at home, preparing mentally for the BIG CUT. yeah, the doc is gonna cut me up in few hours time.

oh no, my hands are trembling.

somehow, theres this longing and melancholic feeling in me towards band.

i wanna play that silver, shiny thingy and hugg it. with the rest of my dear bandits. like hitomi wo tojite with sheree and edwin. :( and the bach chorales esp when its in tune. wahhhh.

nono! studystudystudy! on sunday, i finished 3 essays and 1 compre, 1 summary and a cloze passage(malay) non-stop. i didnt know how i did it. i just dont want to think about anything else.

mon was crazy. i had no break at all. yeah none at all from morn till 6pm. untill cikgu cancelled 1 period of malay. it was a relief because i am able to do the honours night write-up. which no one told me that it was due that day. but thanks to my dear sl, he helped me finished it up. heh.

oh, thank you my dear section for the sweettt msges! i hope i dont get diabetes eh. haha.
i hope i can get well asap then i can continue my revision by thurs. heshhhhh. i'll miss school for sure, how not to? 2 weeks of mc i think.

chiao.

its over. i guess.

alright, band life is officially over for me. hhmm, when i say it was the last concert and the best, indeed it was. and also the last time i'll be wearing that ac blazer with the school crest embroidered on my heart. i'll miss my eupho, hugging it during long rests, oiling it, cleaning it. i'll miss my section, the lunches we had, the crap we talked and the runs we had to make when we see the bus. haha. i'll miss dr lee, his conducting, his crazy tempos and his deathly glares when you are out of tune. haha. i'll miss my j2 batch, all the nonsensical things they did. i'll miss my juniors. considering how crappy we were made me happy. although most of my other non-band friends thinks band members are weird, i think it made us all the more special. hhmm, i guess i'll be watching you guys perform on national day. :)

i'll cherish the times we had especially concerts. well, thats like the only event i have to keep as memory anyway.

every beginging has an end to it right? well, it was a great ending. i never regretted choosing acband.

my revision doesnt seem to progress. this is so freaking depressing. i feel like giving up on geog. the 3 huge ring files looks sososo daunting. and econs too. adui. and math? i hope i pass at least.

mon, please dont come so soon. its means another day closer to prelims. and a day before surgery. aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. the s word makes me weak all over.

so many things on my mind. hesh. press on shaheera!
dont give up on geog! well, lets see how much i can finish studying it.

chiao.

switzerland chocolates!

the event that unfold yesterday will never be erased off from my mind for the rest of my life. well, i'm not affected by it. in fact, i am very happy and feels as though a really heavy weight had been lifted off my shoulders. before this, yes, i wasnt myself and all. thinking about it makes me realise about respect, justice, equality and promises. i've learnt one big lesson: never trust anybody with your heart. but oh well, life goes on!

oh, i ate 2 bars of swiss chocolates and went high. (thank you people for all the chocolates!!! i love chocolatesssssssssssssssss.) so i started singing while listening to a hindi song on eugene's mp3 and doing math. i think the half of the band who went in the qm room at that time must have thought i'm not sane. oh well, feroz said i can sing! aha! i can sing laaaaa. nyehehehe. but the swiss chocos are seriously nice. i dont how to put it in words but seriously, it makes me damn happy after that.

spending time with my band friends finally today and laughed so much since.. i cant rememeber. i realise how much i actually miss them. but i'll just keep quiet abt this when i see them. haha.

by god's grace, singapore international band festival-silver. hhmm, a blessing in disguise. i hope some people learn their lesson. but i know it wont be anytime soon.

nyeh, who cares. focus all the way-prelims! and i dont feel tired at all! must be all the sugar! i wanna studyy. wwweeee.

ouh, surgery surgery surgery. its giving me the jitters again. nah, i'm a superwoman. i can go through all this again.

chiao.

i dont know.

i dont know why the hell i changed my blog template.

and i dont know why i am baking now.

and i know i wont be sleeping anytime soon looking at the amt of work.

dont worry, i am still sane.

i hope so. haha.

but i know something. that somewhere deep, i'm kinda trying to suppress everything.

chiao.

warmth and love.

life's crazy eh?

i just need some warmth and love maybe.

but i know i'll survive through this.

even if i'm alone.

chiao.

random.

nobody is gonna understand this post. so dont bother to try ok.

how you're feeling? f***** up. yes, feeling really bitter now. why? let me keep it to myself.

after being manipulated so many time, yet and again, i shall never trust anybody anymore.

now i understand the saying- 'actions speaks louder than words.' truly understand it.

school again tmr. i am dreading it. weekend was bad, i lost concentration, nothing's done except my hw. my econs is in shambles.

let me just scream.

oh i just remembered my surgery is next week. i dont want to go through all the blood, needles, scapels, scissors and the operating table again. god help me. and sibf. omg.

i think i'm going serious with my cake shop. i want to make something out of my life. even if its through baking.

my only motivation for A's is the promise from aunt that she'll sponsor my trip to mecca to do my pilmirage. and my cooking lessons so that i can start my shop. i am a happy girl on that account.

i shall continue with math. till tmr morning.

DJ Ironik-Stay with me.

the lyrics is kinda touching.

untittled

omg. i am feeling so angry right now. so bitter.

dont freaking give me hope and then crushing it.

damn i am a human too ok.

i have FEELINGS.

dont freaking treat me like some disposable commodity.

just dont.

because i am still part of this ____.

i freaking hate you.

yes. I HATE YOU.

for crushing my dream.

but 1 thing for sure, i wont cry anymore.

get that?

ergh.

chiao.

i cant waitttttttttttttttttttttt. come back home!

i cant wait. i cant wait. i cant wait. i cant wait. i cant wait. i cant wait. they're coming back todayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. it has been too quiet. i need to make some noise.

hectic crazy week. surviving on caffeine. homework for every subject just keeps piling up and up. that doesnt include my own revision. AND AND AND as usual, i am super wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ding dang dong dong behind my schedule. feeling angsty about this. and, despite putting in so muchhhh effort in every assingment and you just dont get the desired results, it stinks man. especially when your other mates are like super duper stinking smart closet muggers. well, its not really a bad thing, super duper stinking smart closet muggers but its kinda frustrating when you dont achieve what you want to.

i realise that i get really irritable if i am tired+hungry+dont get to do i really need to do like studying. that happened just know. school ended super early and was suppose to go out with cikgu naj to town to study malay lit with the whole malay lit class. but, ergh, she had a heads meeting so had to have our lesson right after school without lunch. so, by the time we finished, the one and onlyyyyyy malay stall had closed. so me and seha went to ljs to eat. euhhhh fatsssssss. yesterday was popeyes. today is ljs. i need the gym nowww. oh, popeyes inspired me to bake scones. hehehe. i am so gonna bake!baking galore! here i comeeeeee! bake all the stress away! ok, so we wasted like 2 hrs of our life just to eat. while we could study. seha kept telling me to stop looking at the time. cant help it. ended up, doing only math questions, when i was suppose to finish micro econs todayyyyyyyyyy. haiyoyoyoyoyo. and i still havent finish my math questions. rawr. and i feel so tireddddddddddddd. 5 people in all told me i look shagged and really tired. oh panda eyes, go away.

alright blood donation drive! thank god i am 18. if not, mummy will never let me donate my blood. i want to save lives alright!

ok, back to math, gp, and econs galore. 'yay, i love my life!!' (*say with sarcasm)

studied after that and could feel my body going haywire. dont care, still study at night.
sunday, went to esplanade lib to study with seha. her sis was there too and her sis is damn pretty. i told seha this and she said, look at her older sis la! -_- haha. i dont know what happened to me but i brought the wrong stuff. haha. i was supposed to do my lit essays but i brought econs. then went home to do whatever that i was suppose to study earlier. ended up sleeping at 2.30 am. woke up and my head felt like its being squashed by a 1 ton container. stupid migraine is back! grrrrr. i should have taken care of my health better!!! so didnt go to school today. muahahaha. but i'm still at my essays.

damn, my mind is elsewhere, i cant concentrate on studying.

sat was such a bad day.

just grant me this last chance to play in my concert. please. dont cut me out.

chiao.

10 days moreeeeee

oh a week's passed and i survived. cool. its amazing how i can open my eyes during monotonous lectures and tutorials. esp geog. i was like pinching and slapping my cheeks to stop my eyes from closing. math tutorials is always too fast for me. correlation and regression is seriously like- what the hell is that? uhuh. i gotta buck up. mr mash still give me that have-you-revised-kinda-look everytime he sees me. i did!! but need to do more. got back geog test. phy geog i did extremely well. yayness! but human geog=depression. mdm was angry with me. my fault. i think malay lit is kinda slack right now. its making me kinda panicky and all.

lost my red bottle with the exclusive black cover. but i found it againnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!

and i finally can buzz in pitch. :) but my rthym in tempo suck big time still. :(

oh concert's next weekkkkkkkkkkk. how how how how. gotta do concert presents. practice will be on for the whole of week. hopefully i survive through. still need to revise. oh my godddddddddd.

alright, stop complaining.

was doing my sgc and looked into my cert file. saw my class photo and thought. hmmm, i'll miss them after a's. like really. my band. this school. i've had the time of my life. no regrets.

now, 6.07am. time for my morning run! yay. 5 kg man. 5kg! wooohoo.

chiao.

countdown

back to school in like a few hours time. 14 days to concert. exactly 50 days to prelims.
are we ready? am i ready? hell, no. yeah no.

so many things going on in my mind. sometimes its really too overwhelming that i find it hard to articulate my thoughts here. but i'm an arts student, shouldnt i be able to do it relatively well? well, the thing is, i cant. yeah i cant.

watched the movie osama and it made me tear to see how children on the other side of the world are suffering. and nothing can be done to help them. to see so many people dying because of some totalitarian regime claiming that they are operating based on islamic laws. a load of bullshit. how organized syndicates are actually touching our lives without us realising it. how unenforced labour laws are actually helping us to get what we want on our shopping list. like the latest levi jeans. the current global food crisis, the latest typhoon hitting philippines, inflation rates skyrocketing. so much calamities going around. how can i possibly sit around and watch.

well, the world doesnt revolve around us only.

after this holidays or maybe not for me, i've resolved to become a pschyo mugger toad. (i'm mad..) fatigue will not bother me anymore. nothing else will. i just have to conquer this exam. make or break. 50 more days! i'm so angry with myself because i've failed to finish what i was supposed to during this holiday.

i thought back when june first kicked in. i didnt even realise holidays have already started because it was either band or mcs at that time. waking up at 5 and reaching home at only 12+am for 2 weeks non-stop was frightening. i dont know how i survived. resting only when i got a seat in the mrt or during lunch time. drama went on successfully although we went through alot. band was prep talks and more of it. draining me out. well, not only me, the rest of the band members who cared too actually.

i certainly love acband alot. i've tempted to quit recently because i realise that i've lost the flame to keep me going. (oh i just made a big confession!) i'm sorry. i just lost it. but what kept me in and going was the people there. i love them. each and everyone. i realise that my journey in ac is going to end soon. so i just want to make this last concert of ours the best. for everyone in acband, for the audience, for ourselves. and for dr lee especially. considering that i wont be spending time with the band after concert anymore, i just want to make this ending a really really good ending.

i've been trying to ignite the love that i had in band and yeah, slowly, it is coming back. how? heh, let me keep it to myself. well, hint: its the pure sound. hehe.

oh people, 14 days left, we're gonna do this right.
yes, we're gonna do this.


chiao.

so near.

looking at the calendar, concert is so near. that means they'll be flying off soon too. and that means my next surgery is nearing too. then the international band competition. and after that prelims and then As and then everything will be over. a few months more.

wed: i cut my hair! hehehe. ate at hajah maimunah. siput seduttttttttttt! yum,yum,yummmmmmm! met aisyah and waited for 1 stinking hour for syad. yeah, i am still angry about it. 1 hour!!! in the rain at the bus stop! went back damai and mr wong didnt come, wasted.. cant sell my cd to him. but i sold all $10 tickets!! yesssaa! ate dinner at mac with aisyah, syad and ama. bad choice, so unhealthy. went home tried to read econs. but my head was on the table before i knew it.

thurs: supposed to go to school but mum fell sick. so studied at home. but yeah fell asleep again for 2 hrs plus. woke up and continue with econs. and yay. i've finished it! but i still have 1 more section to read up plus 2 essay homework. i am gonna take forever. and not sleep tonight. great. and i still havent finish gp articles. ahw man. oh yeah... i havent write my school gradation cert yettttttttttttttttttttttttttt.

band tmr. i wonder how it'll go.

i should stop thinking too much. drains my soul, aches my heart.

chiao.

red bull day!

a few days more till school reopens. tell me about it man. i keep telling myself to work,work and work. but it doesnt work. still wayyyyyyyyyy behind what i'm supposed to have completed. i should buck up la.


my whole family is back!!! yay. yay. yay. cant say how happy i am to see them. i miss them so. mum bought for me a spongebob soft toy! a HUGEEEE one! yesssssssssa! dont worry, this time, with pants on it, haha. its super hug-able! (i am so childish but whatever.)
wish i can get a holiday. just get away from work. and enjoy family company. rawr.
that day while studying at home, i watched mum cooking in the kitchen and i felt this tug at my heart. i miss her. badly.


today went gyming with irna. she went bonkers. but its ok, i was entertained. haha. had lunch and froollick!!! wweeee. so niceee. studied but not much progress. practice with siwei and yay, luckily some progress there. conquered the last part of symphonic metamorphosis. i know i should have conquered it like ages ago. but i started kinda late, remember? (excuses! hmph!) oh siwei said i sounded nicer on my sm3 mouthpiece than the sm4. oh me gosh! haha, amazing! did the growling thing on the eupho, the phonics thingy. so fun! haha.

ok, econs and gp and math. lesson learnt today: i should have stuck to coffee. red bull is a bad idea. study hard people! :)

chiao.

ok,ok, back to work.

"Dont accept that you are the girl who never gets what she wants. Instead, become the girl who makes it happen for herself."

"By valuing our innate strengths of connection, nurturing, intuition and empathy, we can reinvent what our impact and contribution is to our work."

oh, i feel so inspired!!

dont you, dont you?!

haha.

chiao

banding

let me recount my days. these few days has been a blur of events.

sat was band the whole day as usual. came early to think if i should just ask outrightly if i'm going swiss or not. was supposed to gym but somebody pangseh me. haha. combine sectionals in the morn. we still sound bad. when the hell are we gonna sound nice? rained so ordered in pizza. and i gave them the wrong number. haha. accidentally! band ended and i finally decided myself i will not go. went back to grandma's. missed her. overnight there and tried to do my articles. but.... i got defeated by fatigue and laziness. :(

mon band again. with bbq at night. i relieved my childhood days with hopscotch and swings. so fun. FUN. i just went spastic la. ate alot of rubbish and cancerous food. went home a happy girl after a long time not laughing that hard. and met a gentlemanyly ang moh who let me pass. haha.

tues was band again. my eyes felt funny. it just wont open. my throat feels scratchy. i kept coughing. 1st recording in the morn. i felt like a recording artist. hahaha. but on a serious note. i felt quite nervous. went for lunch at ljs. without edwin again but with the tubas. sectionals and dwayne came up with the 'kaan' way. *rolls eyes. corrected some parts and went for second recording. had no more energy but had to go on anyway. tried to play to my best ability. and listened to the recording again. we sounded somewhat better but nowhere near the swiss comp standard. haiz.

today, woke up at 6 to jog but weather was good to me. it rained so i continued to sleep. woken up by irna's msg. lips felt so numbed. like bee stung-ed. went to sch to do costume stuff with seha and study math with irnananana alil bit. but nowhere near progress. integrate my brain please.

sometimes its easier just to cry yourself to sleep rather than let it all out. its no use to be sad. lets face it.

anyway, i shall continue with my work now. this is the third week of holidays? omg. oh yes, i found a spongebob blogskin. should i change? hahahahaha.

chiao.

naive and gullible

i just realised how stupid, naive and gullible i am. to believe words of hope. well, there's no more hope and trust from me to anybody. just the harsh reality. and i'm not going to just sit there, cry my eyes out and be pitiful about it. damn, i'm gonna make this last concert of mine THE BEST CONCERT that i've ever performed, THE BEST that the audience have heard of ac band. yes, we'll make music. although its in singapore. haha.


its amazing how 2 chapters of math plus 10 gp compre questions can squeeze your brain juices. ok, back to econs. i'm not going to be defeated by fatigue.

oh, i went shopping with mak cik irna on thurs after band! wweee. i'm still thinking of that bag. oooooooo.
and....
HAPPY LEGAL 18TH BIRTHDAY MY FELLOW MAKCIK!!
we can go clubbing together now. hahaha.

chiao.

work it!

ok, i'm 'recovering' i guess. whatever.

i am soooooo wayyyyy behind my schedule. danggggg. *slaps myself. mon was supposed to be gp and math. BUT i am ssooo 'hardworking' (digressed), i cleaned my room, the house, vacuumed and arranged all my stuff plus! i washed the mcs costumes. gahhh. pure hardwork. when i grow up, i'll hire a maid or just send it to the laundry. seriously. i'm not going to toss and scrub and wring clothes dry. by then, i was too tired, so, when i reached my study table to read my gp compre, i fell asleep. aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

this cant continue. like seriously. when is your prelims shaheera dear? YOU DONT HAVE TIME OK!!! procastinator, digressor, work!

alright. today's band prac was ok, i guess. considering dr lee wants to move on from intonation but he cant because we are not in tune.and he started scolding us and all. and then, we did intonation and viola! fuh yooo!! we were so intune. i was smiling alll the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. aaaaahhhhhhhhh. and dr lee's mood suddenly changed. haha. i was thinking, too bad i cant experience this in swiss with the rest. but oh well. whatever. move on!
and my rthym is still so sucky. my basics are like ----. BAD. :( my rthym since sec 1 days are like gone case. haiz. I AM SO GONNA PRACTICE with the metronome. UNTILL I GET IT RIGHT. DAMN. and oh sm 3 mouthpiece please make my life easier! i'm like huffing and puffing all the way. rawr. but its good..in a way.
oh i gymed today.:)))) now, my thighs are like.....ouuuchhh.

ok. gp and math now. by tonight. by tonight. by tonight. by tonight. by tonightttttttttttttttttt.
chiao.

let me bawl my eyes out. oh well, its all dried up anyway.

give me sometime to recuperate my soul back again. i'm tired, really, really tired.

please.

i'm sorry.

chiao.

i dont bother to explain this. its not like anybody care anyway.

the show.

i love this ad that i've found in holland v. muahahahhaha.

haha, all acsians do.

gelatoooooooooooooooooooo. :)

our stinking hugeeee band room.

oh yes, the holidays are here. but it doesnt mean holidays. sadly.

this blog has been on a hiatus due the modness of events that has been happening.

warning: stinking long post. haha, i bet nobody will bother reading this.

ok, so on tuesday, i fought for my life on the track and managed to pass my 2.4km with the whole class running with me. despite feeling that i've over stretched my thigh muscles, dheraj just pushed me all the way. and they started screaming things like, 'give me a S! -'S!' -'give me a H!' -'H!' -'give me an A! -'A!' -'give me a H!' -'H!' -'give me an E!' -'E!' -'give me an E!' -'E!' -'give me a R!' -'R!' -'give an A!' -'A!' and things like come on, after this you can eat chicken rice with ribena! haha, and come and catch me if you can! and yay! i opened my legs bigger and raaannnnnnnnn the last round. my heart felt like bursting.

aft all that hu-ha, met shariff and we discussed costumes stuff till before band starts. i didnt even have time to wash my face. but i did anyway, so i was like running arnd again. band prac was at LT4 despite having moved to the new band room. so had to move alllllll our instruments and percs instruments. 1 thing i DO NOT like about the new cpa was that its not sound proof. how stupid is that? its like CENTRE FOR PERFORMING ARTS. get it? of course performing arts group will be blasting their music. and the band room is so echoy. we sounded so glaring and this makes me feel like pulling my hair out. because its sooooo irritating to hear bad music. and we are supposed to bring pillows to help absorb the sound. erm... all my pillows have world maps on it. hahaha. if you get it. hahaha. and that night, playing paganini makes me realise that i've lost everything. like all my articulation, sense of rhythm, my in-tuneness, aiyah everything la. i feel like i'm back to square one after not practising for abt a month. haizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. and i'm being forced to used the sm3 mouth piece!! rawrrrrrr. makes me breathe harder. aft band moved all our stuff back and helped zhan wei fix the ikea chair. haha, he's quite noob in fixing stuff. they should put a requirement to becoming a qm: know how to fix stuff. hahaha. then when all band members get to go home, me and irna went to LT 3 for mcs. went up to store rm to do some costume stuff. then went home.

then that night, mugged for geog. so tired. woke up and couldnt get up. my legs were like paining me like crazy. so stayed home and recuperate my muscles. weak seh. tsk. and mugged for geog test. thurs was equally crazy. only had a few hours of sleep the day before. well, to be accurate only 1 hour. and i heard abt what happened on wed abt mcs. one crisis aft another. my head felt like bursting hearing all this. after school went to holland V and ate gelato with enjia. i was so happy that i get to eat gelato, although i screwed up geog test despite studying so hard for it. came back to school and went to LT3 again before band starts. we had a meeting at the void deck. and i guess we took the right one. well, she should rest. had the first prac in the new band room. depressed by my own sound. yuck. i better practise. then LT3 again. and watched the whole of the rehearsal. and we realised this, since the begining of the production, we faced so many difficulties and obstacles. from getting the script, recruiting cast, musicians, crew. the cast were in experienced, and we dont know each other well. the musicians dont know a thing abt traditional malay music. erm, i mean the people who are supposed to play music dont know how to play their instruments. and the cast movements were all over the place. came shamil and tasha to save the day. then, prac wasnt well. seha was down with chicken pox for a week. then we fought. like really fought. haha. but we're good now. then its our main cast getting sick. like really sick. gosh, sani called up anwar. thank god. really, i felt so relived.

fri was the opening of the CPA. and when i reached the school gate, i saw sylvia, nad and daphne. and they said, eh, why are you here? do you know that the band is cancelled? did you get the msg? i didnt too you know! i was like... whattttt? i came alllll the way here! and nobody msged me!!!!!!!!!!! and then they smiled and say, haha, no la, we're joking. i went up to sylvia and screamed, i will strangle you for making me so worked up!! youuuuuu!!!! yes, that joke made me woke up that morning. ben pooi conducted rhapsody in blue and in the mood. and we got a lecture that almost got me to tears. well, we gotta buck up. then went for mcs. it was full run. i felt damn drained out by then.reached home 12 plus. mum was nagging like mad.

then sat was tune in. report to school by 8 am. i had to force myself out of the bed. and my throat was quite croaky. i guess it was a good tune in. i had fun playing grease. and when i said to edwin that i felt like dancing aft playing the 'tell me more' part, he said he cant believe i'm an introvert. haha, maybe i've changed? gotanother lecture from dr lee. that almost made me tear too. and i'm not alone. aaahhhh, i need to practiseeee!!!!!!!! then rushed to mcs. ate my dinner sooo fast that i had a stomachache after that. and it was the preview show. i was sssooo excited. and a few minutes before the show starts, he stage glass fell. and broke into peices. the whole of backstage was littered with glass. after that we prayed, that despite all this, nothing is gonna stop us, the show will go on. and when the audience started coming in, the other side of the stage glass fell too. i was sitting back stage and could feel the glass flying past me. really. and the canvas i was on also had glass. it was so dangerous.i was really scared that someone will get hurt. but well, the show got on well. and it was good. yayness. but we still have so many stuff to work on. and the stage is like in pieces. literally. cabbed home with sani and got a free ride home. weee.

and sunday, went for religious class, then geylang. came home and slept like a nobody's business. i'm just dead tired. oh well, i still have to prepare for tomorrow's show. plus, i need to clean up my room which is worst then a pig's sty.

i need to breathe.

but, at the same time, i am happy that i can smile now. AKU DA TAK RONGGAK! wwwwwwwweeeeeee.


chiao.

survival of the fittest

i dont know how to survive the rest of the week. tomorrow i have to run 2.4 km. :( then theres mcs and then study for gp test and geog test. that doesnt include homework. thank god i need not play in band. if not, i dont know if i'll be able to keep breathing.

mcs is getting stressful. and i dont even have time to eat at all in school today untill i reach home at abt 8.30pm. thats because my breaks are filled with consults or just emergency mugging in library. (haha, like meeting deadlines for homework etc)

oh 2 weeks more before school holidays. yeah i need that.

josh was pestering me with this question: how do band people cope man? haha, bandits, answer that, how the hell do we survive?

i dont know, by god's grace, we just do. right? haha.
press on!

oh,oh. i am so happy. i passed my math test. say wow. haha. and i got 30/50 for my gp essay. wwweeeeeeeeee. i'm on cloud nine. lalalalalalalala. but somehow i'm not satisfied. consistency. yeah. consistency.

chiao.

legally 18.

1oth may felt like any other day in my life. aft living and experiencing it for the 18th time, i felt quite numbed yesterday. well, i dont know how to feel or react actually. but thanks all. :) my section, for the 'birthday cake' haha, and perlini's silver necklace, em, enjia, soo and irna for the body shop gift, kak siti's gift which i still havent figure out what it is, kak wani for the dress and the cake! and all the other messages. thank youuuuu. oh yeah, happy birthday to justin too. haha.



reminiscing what happened last year made me realise that i had changed, somewhat. it was the day right before syf. syf came and i guess, the events that happened during and after it, i will remember for a very very long time. how they played roman feste, the announcement. the journey in the mrt. the surprisebirthday bash by my dear girls. i'll never forget that, khai, hiq, az and ais.

with so many things on my mind, i noticed that i'll always get quietand give that serious look when actually i was thinking about stuff. and people will thought i was emo-ing or soemthing like that.

i'd rather be alone.

i wanna quit. maybe i should, since i dont have any purpose anymore.

learn to get over it. that night, she cried herself to sleep.

chiao.

painful yet beautiful.

now i know why i didnt long to go, why i didnt miss doing what i used to and love to do. i was unconciously trying to run away from reality. i just realised that hearing them is so painful, although it is beautiful. ouch. but oh well, life goes on. no matter what.

ECONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. and gp compre and malay lit.
*SMACKS FACE. its gonna be a longggg night.

press on, life is tough eh?

chiao.

stinky

stinky day. i screwed up math test. and i have dc for waking up late. again. what the hell is wrong with me.

after so long not coming for practices, somehow, i feel.. what do you call it... segregated from the rest?
ergh, big bad mood AND tiredddddddddddddddd.
i'm trying to illusion myself with the fact that i have 2 bands. ac concert band + acperbayu gamelan band.haha.

stinky friday timetable on a tuesday. 4 stinking hrs of break before 4.30pm, where i'm supposed to study econs.

i better not screw up this stinky econs test.

i better eat some ice cream now. and start smiling. maybe i'll feel better. soon, i hope.
chiao.

maybe

today's mcs drama rehersal was kinda egg-citing. 'cos i tried playing the saron!!! wooooo. and we managed to complete two parts of music from the whole production. there's still alot mind you. coolness seriously. i felt like i was in a gamelan troupe or something. hehehehe. but aft that was the serious bit. debrief=omg. schedule is super tight. being a costume manager is a headache. i get confuse which costume is whose although i wrote it down. my brain is naturally slow. alot of stuff to buy. not forgetting the props. haha. i have to get everthing ready by 10th may. then there is the music part where i need to learn my instrument, and come up with some nice malay theme music. oh greattt.


i wish there is no such thing as the internet. then maybe i wouldnt be wasting my time blogging here and go and study.then maybe also i will study more. maybes. yeah. then maybe somebody will not call me stupid. then maybe i wouldnt get stinking results. then maybe i will..

ergh. me stupid?

i dont know why, every econs test i will get really really nervous. and its on thurs.
and i vow i will pass my next math test on tues. i stinking finished the tys.
if i dont pass still, then maybe....
whatever la.

chiao.
