Okay, I was mistaken, history had 100% passes too. =) Grades aren't exactly very good, I guess I had too high expectations for myself? But I'm glad I can stay.

Prelims -> O levels
English: A1 -> A2
Chinese: A1
Higher Chinese: B4 -> A2
Mathematics: A1 -> A1
Additional Mathematics: A1 -> A2
Biology: B4 -> A1
Chemistry: B4 -> B3
Physics: C5 -> B3
History: B3 -> A1
Combined humanities (SS + Lit): B3 -> B3

So I deproved for English and A math, but improved or stayed the same for everything else. Hmm. I'm quite proud of my A1 for Pure History, since I was very freaked out by the fact that we all spotted the questions wrongly. =( But I'm quite disappointed for Higher Chinese lahz, I wanted a 1? I wanted 1s for both my maths as well... And my sciences are like...cmi Oh well. =(

L1R5 Prelims -> Os

L1 (Language): English A1 -> A2

R1 (Mathematics): Additional Mathematics A1 -> Mathematics A1

R2 (Humanities): Combined Humanities B3 -> History A1

R3: History B3 -> Biology A1

R4: Mathematics A1 -> Additional Mathematics A2

R5: Chinese A1

L1R5= 10 -> 8

Didn't cry that much, I guessed I wasn't very depressed after all. Managed to go out with the dizi people later, miss them lots! Especially in the very guy dominated dizi section of hc... =( Caught up on a bit of gossip, lamed a lot! And just walked around and talked... =) It's nice. Tomorrow I'm going to watch constantine with alice! Unless she fang my fei ji then... Then must try and watch if it's still around by band concert Saturday lohz.

Anyone know what I should ask my parents to get from hongkong? Any specialties that I should attempt to get them to bring back?



90% of the population got 10 points and below. =)
100% passes in english, english literature, mathematics, geography, chemistry, music, art and music.
1 person failed physics.
1 person failed biology.

What about my history? What about MY SCIENCES??? =(



Hmm, I'm starting to like my class more and more, or maybe it's just that I'm getting more comfortable with the people in the class. =) Went with some of the class people to orchard today to while away the time so that we would have company in our time of wadjamacallit. Walked around food places like mos burger and the food court to talk, then ended up at kbox! I think singing is destressing, I used to not like singing at karaokes, but with the class people, no one really cares if you're out of tune or out of beat, and it's just a huge sing song session with a lot of people crammed into one room, with one or two people holding mikes and laming/crapping around... It's just quite a nice and xing fu feeling when you can let your hair down and your guard as well. I shouldn't be awake at this time, but whatever... Don't feel like sleeping. I'm not depressed or moody. I just don't want to think about tomorrow. From today, I have also realised that guys get better as they grow up, more gentlemenly and stuff. And our class has nice gentlemenly guys, which if you told me before, I would have never believed. =) Once again I have also received the confirmation that I don't look/behave gep. And I'm speaking in random, typing down whatever I'm thinking of at the moment. Right now, I have a warm fuzzy feeling in my tummy, a happy warm fuzzy feeling. I think it's from thinking happy thoughts... =)



I've been meaning to blog about the past few days for the past few days but I've been too tired to do so. By about 12 I was already half asleep and probably even sleeping in front of the computer while in the middle of conversations with people. <- very pro, I know... Anyway, my entire week was once again happily filled with huang cheng dao ju! I apparently now go to school for co and daoju, especially since I don't feel that strongly for academics after chemistry test and practical. Friday was cross country, and I have decided that I will run next year, to avoid being on juice duty as an official. It is very annoying to have little kids, younger than you by a few years, assume an authoratative tone of voice and demand, whilst at the same time thrusting flimsy plastic cups in your face with their grubby hands, to have juice. Or maybe it's just irritating to see an entire sea of people, push and shove in an attempt to get their own juice, squishing poor student officials who are just trying to do their job. Or it could be the fact that some of them just stand in the same spot, not move and keep taking drinks! And also because of that incident, I've come to realise guys aren't that efficient after all, since they took uber long to go back to macs with the empty container and bring a filled one back. It's also aggravating to watch above said little kids push, fight and argue for a cup of juice concentrate and water. Never mind, running should be less keking and more guilt free. After cross country I went back for huang cheng and helped to mark a bit of tai, but I think we were essentially slacking since no one was in the mood to really do a lot of work, then we went to kap after everything to slack and eat, since we didn't really eat dinner...


Saturday was another huang cheng day... Did the full run for all the three productions and was massively tired even before the actual thing started, since we had a few dry runs before that... But quite cool lahz, watching all the endings and stuff. Ame got emotional during xie mu, then later when the seniors started talking, she started to cry... Which is bad! Because I started to cry too! She started to sob when the senior said she was disappointed and when the other senior said that although this year's daoju hen shao ren, but a lot of spirit. =) It's nice to be praised, but we always have space to improve...

O level results coming out tomorrow, so there. I said it.


Thursday, February 24, 2005


I don't think I'm cut out for sewing, keep getting poked by the needle... >< Quite tiring now, since daoju finishes at about 9+ daily. I'm quite irritated with the chem test, simply because I can't do it. Then I wasted time studying, except time spent studying can't really be called wasted. -sigh- I was momentarily depressed for a while, but people around me cheered me up, really grateful to them. =) But daoju makes me happy! It's like a big family sort of thing, and I feel like I'm needed, since there's always stuff to do. Then we chat and have nice music in the background and people just lame around! =D But I don't like what's coming up on Monday... In xinhui's words, I'm suffering from PCPO (post chemistry pre o level results) depression. Or rather I used to be, now got hou yi zheng only. And I feel like after huang cheng I will definitely get PHD(post huang cheng depression). Last time we couldn't wait to get home from daoju, for daoju to san hui early. Yet now, even after daoju sans hui, people linger around, talking and yakking. It's just a very nice feeling, that makes you feel all warm and toasty from the inside. -melts into a puddle of gooey happiness- <- Okay, I don't have enough sleep. I'm becoming weird. XD Mood swings! Oh well.


Saturday, February 19, 2005


I think that I am one of the most accident prone people in daoju. When daoju first started, I accumulated a lot of orh chehs (with the help of orientation), then for a rather long period of a month or so I was accident free, besides the usual knocking into people or getting paint on myself, which is a daily occurence. However within the last 3 days, I've managed to get a splinter in my thumb (from trying to file/smoothen the edges of the new wooden crate), stab same above mentioned thumb with a needle (while trying to sew the black covers onto the swivel chairs) and whack my knuckle against the railing simply by running and not looking at where my hand was going... Oh well, I'm going to look back someday on this, and start missing huang cheng like crazy, even the accidents.

On a brighter note, they threw away the stinky black mouldy paint on Saturday! =D No more icky smells when repainting black stuff, or having to deal with lumps and clumps of unidentified black substances coagulating at the bottom of the bucket.

And yesterday's lian pai was quite fun, or rather I think it was much better than the one at the auditorium, simply because we could see better. Which isn't realistic, since VT is going to be much darker, and all you can base your cues on would be the actors/actresses dialogue. >< Oh well, must jia you! Dao ju rocks! (In case any of you didn't know that already) The guys were lugging the stairs, platforms and all the assorted massive props up to the hall, while we were moving everything else. We used to think that the see saw was bad, but things just seem to get bigger and heavier... But we're all made up of really cool people, so we move things all the same. Then was the actual rehearsals, which were quite sian, since we were standing most of the time, waiting for cues and trying not to talk/whisper/stand on/run over/across/into boom boxes/curtains/cage etc. I was feeling really tired yesterday, so I think I slept during one of the jus where I had no scene changes. Then they had debriefing, and the guy in charge wanted to split by jus, so daoju ppl in charge of the first ju go somewhere, second ju go somewhere else etc. But the thing is that most daoju people are involved in either 2 or all 3 jus (like me!) so we had to practise fen shen shu. Actually not really, since we were supposed to go around one ju at a time, but the teacher just gathered all of us into another group and talked to us as a whole. Then she was talking about how the actors and actresses must feel safe on the daoju, so must let them qc and hop around etc on the stairs and such. By then you could hear the gasps and other assorted xin tong noises the guys were making. And the very loud HARH? when she said that the platform had to be repainted which they misheard as remade...

Oh yar oh yar! But before that, we were rehearsing xie mu, and daoju got praised! -beams- The guys were very funny, since they did the whiny noise thing complete with actions, and the girls were acting cute... Then we sang hua chu de ge a few times, and we actually got it with the music! Whee! I think I was relatively hyper by that time, probably cos of amelia, so we were complying with what they said and grinning during hua chu de ge, and jumping up really high and stuff. Of course it helped too to see old seniors coming back and doing hua chu de ge so enthusiastically at the back... Feels like one nice big happy family now, and it was really nice of all the other zus to help us move daojus back, even though they probably wanted to go home earlier as well and for that to happen, the daojus had to be cleared... =) Then the guys were quite gentlemenly too! Helped us with all the bulky stuff like the fridge, see saw, platforms etc. Then after that we went back to the daoju room and engaged in a very lame ostra game. Essentially the point is not to get ostracised, but if you are, you're supposed to get other people to join you as well. It's something like Heart Attack, in that you're supposed to get 4 of the same cards, then put your finger on your nose. If you're the last one to do that, you're a Level 1 pig, then all the other humans are supposed to ostracise you. If they talk to you, then they join your ranks as a level one pig. The game continues, whereby the first person to become a level 7 pig is the loser. Pigs can upgrade levels as long as they are still the last ones to put their fingers on their noses. Really quite funny... We had 3 or 4 level one pigs by the end and 2 level two pigs I think. We lamed quite a lot, and the pigs were trying to get other people to talk to them... XD Then when the laoshi came in, he saw us playing with cards, then kj was saying that we were only yan jiuing the deck... Okay lahz, it was a relatively effective bonding session. I'm glad to say I'm enjoying huang cheng more and more, although it's come at the expense of my sleep and certain amounts of my sanity. It feels good to belong to something or be part of some group, a lot of gui shu gan. =)

Which reminds me, I should avoid surfing mugger j1s blogs or j1s blogs in general, it's depressing cos of what they think/say/feel about the release of the o level results. I'm a self confessed escapist, and I want to be an ostrich about it. So if I don't see it, it doesn't see me. That is, until the date for release is confirmed, then I'll have nowhere to escape, since everyone will be talking about it in school. Then I'll get mopey, moody and depressed until I get my results and then... Stuff happens.

But in the meantime, I shall not think about it. Not in the right frame of mind to do so anyway.


Friday, February 18, 2005


Oh man, I'm really really tired from huang cheng today. My arms feel like they're going to fall off soon, and when I poke my arm muscles, they ache... =( But never mind, helps practise for IFA. Took huang cheng zhao today, in the central plaza, in the rain (with sun) and lots of lame people around. It's the sort of rain people get fevers and sick in, but anyway after that went back to make daojus! Paint and paint and do stuff, then moved all of them to the hall to mark tai(stage). Mark mark mark till 8 plus then ate dinner. Move everything back to amphitheatre, clear up then san hui. =) The moving sounds really easy right? Wrong! Not when you have a fridge, canteen table, bench, tables, SWIVEL CHAIRS(!!!), see saw, staircase (soon?) and the platform too... >< Very tiring... To and fro, then tomorrow lian huan tai will move it some more! Oh well, it's definitely an experience I won't forget. =)


Tuesday, February 15, 2005


Oh yar, happy birthday everyone! (chu qi, ren ri) And our class is doing a spca sale for cip, selling stuff from SPCA. So if you're interested in buying anything, can come down to the canteen to check the stuff out. =)

Date: 160205 - 180205
Venue: HC canteen

I think that's about it. Must figure out how to do bio prac now.



Today's the first time in many weeks that I've reached home on a school day with the sun still in the sky. Not for a very good reason though, I'm sick. =( Horribly hot weather with not enough sleep, not enough water, sufficient amounts of stress, cny goodies and the flu bug going around made me sick. Managed to get early leave from school after telling laoshi that I wasn't feeling well. I felt quite delinquent-ish since all the other j1s were in the auditorium, and I stuck out like a sore thumb. Realised that if anyone wanted to pon school, leaving during ct session would be very stupid, since it's very easy to differentiate a j1 from j2, and all j1s have ct session at the same time, so leaving/being out of school would be glaringly obvious. Anyway I came home and drank more weird tasting ge gen tang and some sweet thing that my grandma boiled. The sweet thing has a funny smell, with a weird after taste... Ugh, and apparently I have another cup to drink. -wince- Managed to nap for about an hour or two, then woke up to do work since I have school tomorrow. Now I'm here still doing work and staring at the liquid in my cup, trying not to smell it.

Today's lessons were quite slack I think, PW as always is fluffy, since we don't have questions or groups, so there's really nothing much specific or relevent that we can ask. Then the tutor didn't come for math tutorial so we stoned around in the classroom passing around left over/unopened chocolates/sweets from yesterday's singles' star gazing session. I think the class is very cute! We attempted to have a candle light recess, but due to the school's good ventilation system at the canteen, it was quite impossible. And there were mushy love dedications/methods/scripts/tai cis thought up on the spot on how to get someone to be your valentine. Then a erm rather surprising pda from the class couple, which resulted in everyone becoming... o_o/O_O/O_o/o_O Oh well, uber mushiness from both of them. -rubs away goosepimples- Then apparently barney organised another spontaneous outing for monday night to go somewhere to stargaze where only about erm 6 people went? It was a nice thought, but sadly V day is on a monday, and parents, or rather mine at least, aren't too fond of their kids running around till late on a school night. And I was sniffling a lot during bio lab today, luckily it isn't chem, so there weren't a lot of weird chemical smells or stuff that might have been bad for me. But I kept sneezing, and managed to use up two packets of tissue paper? Then because I kept sneezing, my lines for my practical table etc were all bumpy. =( Oh well. And lep was quite insightful? I dunno I feel quite stupid not getting all the in depth stuff and not being able to vocalise my opinions properly in chinese. And at least in elit there's no fear of not knowing how to write notes because of cuo zi or bu hui xie, or fear of using wrong terminology. I hope I don't suck at lep, cos it's been a really good experience so far. I've never read chinese literature like that before? And today laoshi read to us a short story written after the changes to the chinese syllabus. It's quite witty and enjoyable. I shall attempt to fatten up my collection of chinese books/literature when I have the time. =)

And now my blog has progressed to become a narrative of what I've done throughout my day, not much insight at all. -raises brow and prods blog- Or maybe I'm just not feeling that much anymore... Then again, after coming into jc, especially when around people I'm not that familiar with yet, it should be quite normal to be guarded and all right? I censor things that I'm afraid people might read and misinterpret, I euphemise others and totally obliviate other things from my memory in case of repercussions. I think I live my life based on the people around me, which isn't exactly a good thing, but I survive anyway. Hmm.

Lugged my squishy angel present and brought my mortal present to school today, + file + didai, very bulky... Which was why I was quite glad when my mortal + angel came, then can pass them their presents! Hope they liked it? Haha, got my angel a pillow, nice and yellow. Cheery colour =) Then I erm bought a glow in the dark, sleepy star and put it in a box, in a box, in a box, in a box, in another box etc. I think I shua him, but the star really looks quite cute! With the erm sleepy eyes and night cap! =) Got a lot of sweets + chocolates and a rose from alice, although it kind of died halfway (despite numerous attempts to revive it) and I had to throw it away in the end. Thanks to my angel for the huge box of chocolates which I should be erm sharing with people some other time, when they are less flooded with chocolates + sweets and for the necklace from my mortal, which I would most probably be using as a key chain somewhere... Basically a relatively nice valentine's day, spent with people I miss, and the presents don't really mean so much? Nice comfortable/safe/familiar environment. =) Happy happy day. Feeling nice and smiley now. =D

Randomness: I think people should use good english/chinese when they want to write nice valentine's day notes. It's kind of anti-climatic to read a really sweet note with bad grammar/tense/sentence structure, or something with cuo/inappropriate zis. =)


Sunday, February 13, 2005


Eep! Auditions are last week of Feb. Soooooooooooooooo comforting, what a way to start the week yeah? =( Bleh, I really want to get in for syf, which means I shall attend more prac. Meaning that I will be ponning all of huang cheng on Mondays and Wednesdays, and attempt to NOT panic in front of whoever is listening, which so far includes 2(!) teachers(!) that I'm not that familiar with, not like yin laoshi and miss chek, whom in front of I will panic too! This doesn't help matters at all, nope, not at all. And here I am typing in long run on sentences with random exclamation marks. -smacks head- I will not think about it... -squeezes eyes shut- I'm thinking about it.... UGH >< -attempts to psycho self- *breathe* And I'm getting dramatic and exaggerating everything... Whee! Oops. Whatever. Ignore me.


Saturday, February 12, 2005


Woke up very unwillingly at 7 this morning, then finally dragged myself out of bed at 715. Managed to be the earliest to meet at Chinese Gardens at slightly past 845 whilst everyone else was late(r). Then cos caina went to send her dear off, there was only ger, junhua and I on the train crapping to simei. Which reminds me, the turnout this year is quite sad, only 4 people? Whilst last time had erm, much more if I don't remember wrongly, and we didn't ostra laoshi as much this year. Anyway, we reached his house, bainian-ed sat down and yakked a bit. Then bo xiang came out! =) Haha, laoshi's son is really cute lohz, then his hair cut very erm... Gu dai sort. It was only one tuft in the middle, like those gu dai kids liddat. Then he was being polite and called all of us jie jie =) But called someone ah yi (auntie)... Anyway we sat and yakked for a while about co related stuff, then we asked laoshi if he had dimo, so we thought we were going to buy from him, but he gave us two packets each! For free! So now I have dimo =) Then his hong bao money increased by erm 60%! Lalalaz, quite fun lahz. And junhua's brownies are edible, despite being slightly burnt.

After that we went for lunch at sakae sushi, then went to walk around at orchard. Met a lot a lot of people there, I think I met close to 15 people I know, or at least look familiar to me. Anyway ger had to buy her angel mortal gifts, and junhua had to buy tc + caina's presents which we were sharing anyway. Thankfully I finished all my shopping on Friday, but I shall not publicise what I bought because... Well people read yeah? And anyway, people owe me money! Which means I should be slightly richer on monday =) This makes me feel better, and not so poor, especially when my mum went to deposit most of my piggy bank money into my bank account. Oh well. Today's quite a fun day, just quite tiring because of how early I woke up this morning... -yawn- And now I have to rush homework and tutorials for Monday, haiz.


Friday, February 11, 2005


After reading an entry by someone, I'm starting to feel nostalgic. =( I miss gep, I miss the big family we had there. Even though there are the few irritating ones, but the rest of them are... Indescribable. I miss how we could run in and out of each others' classrooms to look for people, or how we knew everyone in gep, even though we weren't really that close. I miss spontaneous discussions or conversations across the classroom that people could just partake in halfway. I miss the teachers, like mrs lim and her habits of mind, the birthday songs we sang for her even though it wasn't even her birthday, how suanne could just start singing the spongde to tituebob theme song and everyone would join in. I miss kuo and his life principles, his attitude and how he cares for his students in a way that's uniquely his. Even though he doesn't show it, he does care and is very protective of us? I dunno, he's a good teacher too. =) I miss lin laoshi, how she would finish kes really really quickly, then train us to write zuo wens and ying yong wens in less than an hour. How she would let us eat sweets in class, read jimmy books, give us jimmy books, treat us to sweets/chocolates and her funny stories! And philosophies too, like how we shang xue jiu shi wei le fang xue etc. I miss mrs ng, the way she taught, the way she inspired and even the way she marked. The way she trained us for history while maintaining our interest, and how everytime when we were down, she'd tell us about her experiences or just inspire us to do more, or work harder. I miss mrs kuan and even mr tan, although my physics still sucks, but they're all great teachers, not that the teachers now aren't good. We're just not that close to them. And the people! I miss alice and boon pin and loads of people that made life in ny nice =) I miss having people sit around at a table during recess to talk about rubbish, crap, study or just eat for the sake of eating. I miss being in an environment where I'm comfortable letting everyone know about my insecurities, my likes, dislikes and what I feel about things. I don't fear that I will be ostracised or looked at funny or give people the wrong impression when I do things. I just feel comfortable there, and I've been pulled out of my comfort zone. =( 6 weeks is too short a period of time compared to 4 years, and it's unfair to compare, but it's human nature? Bleh. I miss being in the big gep family... Miss you lots...


Thursday, February 10, 2005


Hmm, today was relatively peaceful and nice. =) Did a bit of math, played a bit of mahjong, a bit of black jack, watched some tv, napped a little... Slacked a lot essentially. =) Managed to recoup yesterday's losses and even get some profit! Haha, actually quite a lot of profit... I think I earned 10 plus in profits, some because of my brother winning at mahjong, and most from me playing blackjack! Okay, so gambling is bad and all, but once a year should be ok lahz right? And it's quite scary playing mahjong with my relatives, since they are all pros and I'm fumbling with cards and stuff... Oh well, had a nice holiday so far, hope it continues like that =)



Ahem, before I start rattling on about stuff, Happy Lunar New Year people!


Okay, HC celebrations seem nicer than ny's... Maybe it's just 'cos it's held at the central plaza, much more spacious than cramming everyone into the hall, then there are lots of cny decorations all over the central plaza, making it look more festive and such. Anyway, started the morning trying to help out with the setting up of the stall before I went to the lt. But in any case, I was essentially slacking around all the way until co performance. Co performance was also quite slacky, since no one takes cny songs very seriously, plus there were 12 or 13 dizis I think, so really quite extra. Then was street market, but I went back to ny with cg and ger. Managed to catch feng nian ji, but because of hall acoustics, it was really soft, then dizi like no tai feng except for caina and jaime who were bouncing at certain parts. Met kuo at the third floor and he gave me lots of funny/raise brow looks... XP Then saw miss chek's baby! Nicholas I think, quite cute... But then nearly all babies are cute, so a bit fei saying that he's cute. I'm rambling again, but anyway I'm quite miffed about the new security rules at ny, especially with regards to visiting. If you don't wear ny uniform, you aren't allowed back in by the side gate, yet when you walk to the main gate, they don't even bother to check your identity. So what's the point? Just to make you walk further? Bleh, so when we went in, the security guard doubted our identity as ex ny people, then when we walked out, a teacher (whom was leaving EARLY in a car btw) thought we were delinquents ponning school early. Ugh, utterly icky. =(

Managed to get back to hc before street market was over, but by the time I reached the class stall, we were nearly done? I felt very slacky lahz, since there was nothing much for me to do, and cleaning up was quite quick since nearly everything was to be thrown. The street market was quite cool lahz, standard of food and stuff quite high? Then since it's only the j1s doing, there wasn't much repetition, and there was enough demand from both the j2s and j1s, although I think the j2s were quite sian. Then after that, we did mass dance! Okay, perhaps it's just because I've never been particularly enthusiastic about mass dance before, but I partnered bern and we sort of laughed our way through most of the dances, especially the turning bits. Then was faculty dances, and APOLLO ROCKS! Our fac dance is seriously the coolest one! Haha, but then I sort of couldn't remember the moves properly, so... But never mind, I think we won in the end if I'm not wrong, and we were the only fac to do the dance twice?

-reflects- That has been a lengthy ramble narrative sort of thing... Very bad writing, -tsks self-

First day of the Chinese New Year, and so far I've managed to get blisters because of the awful shoes I wore. That's probably the only grumpy inducing thing I've encountered today, since the rest of the time I was either stoning in front of the tv, sleeping or gambling. Went visiting very late today, since one relative went to the temple later than usual, so everything was just pushed back. =( Didn't like waiting, and since I was wearing a skirt, it was quite weird trying to sleep/sit in a comfortable position on the floor with a pillow. Then when we finally set off, my brother drove =) which wouldn't have been so bad, if not for the fact that my dad was niaoing his parking. So we'd reach the place early, spend a really long time trying to get the car parked properly, then set off to meet the rest of the family. And when we came back to my grandma's house, we had dinner, then the not so little kids sat down and started playing black jack. My cousin was in very good luck today, and we attributed it to his red shorts that he was wearing, since he ended up winning 60 or 70 dollars! Then his brother managed to lose quite a lot too... Oh well, I ended up losing about 3 dollars? And I didn't get to play mahjong! I fell asleep whilst waiting or something like that. After one day of CNY I've come to the conclusion that I can sleep a lot. Especially when there's nothing better to do. =)

PS: Anyone want to watch constantine with me?


Monday, February 07, 2005


Today seemed really really long, I couldn't wait for it to be over, just so that there would be no more lessons this week! Anyway I was really off today, quite extreme mood swings... Then I was exhausted during chemistry, and I didn't feel like listening, especially since the thing started reminding me of physics! Which is a subject I detest!!! >< And I went for half of huang cheng, drew lines on the crates, then popped off for co, where I attempted to figure out meng die with help. But stupid jk kept pestering me about the receipts and class fund stuff whilst I was trying to figure out the liu lian yin, then later he asked me inane questions like the price of my shoes, whilst in the middle of chui-ing something again! So I was essentially kekking already, then eugene pulled my hair(tie), so I turned around and cursed... Really really sorry k? Felt chao guilty after that, since I never used it openly before, and now that I have, I regret it. =( Shall set cny resolution not to use that ever again, provoked or unprovoked... Must control. -om-


Sunday, February 06, 2005


Hmm, yesterday had co orientation + tuan yuan fan and today there's stj. Orientation was erm quite stone ba, I met two new people though, the other geraldine/g(j)erry and huifang who is ex guzheng now yangqin. And I think I was quite mad in the morning, cos cg was around and being lame with me. =) But then enoch took a lot of weird photos and videos too so... XP Anyway, played I think erm 3 or 4 games? Somehow I feel like the entire aim was to get us wet, which sort of succeeded. Anyway, co tuan yuan fan was like hc + tchs + ny people? Quite weird lahz, niaoed eugene, relistened to chen bo shi jokes, complained about the lack of people in daoju and talked about a lot of crap. Went home quite early that night, but reached home quite late anyway, about 1130? Next morning got nagged at by my mum about how I wasn't home that much anymore, which is kind of true, since huang cheng/co ends quite late and I reach home at only 8/9 plus. =( I miss being at home too. Well it seems all I do at home now is work and sleep... Busy life. =( My mum's complaining I don't eat what she makes, that I don't even bother checking the fridge for whatever she's been making recently for cny, which includes apple cake and mango pudding. Then she keeps checking to see what time I'm coming home. I feel kind of bad actually. Haiz.

Then we had stj on sunday! At some dim sum place at china square? Something like that, everyone was so enthusiastically queuing up for food that they forgot they had only one table to put things on. So we ended up with baskets and baskets of food at the table, resulting in classifying by food types. We stacked up I think 5 steamers of siew mai, 4 steamers of cha shao bao, then erm a few shui jing baos etc and assorted fried stuff. The table managed to finish most of it, the remaining few were sent to the guys table where they quickly met their demise as well. Okay lahz, it was more a gossip session than anything, and there were 4 tables, one completely guys, 2 mixed guys and girls and one completely filled with girls. Guess where most of the gossip happened... (",) A lot of rubbish, rumours etc came up and I think the two seniors sitting with us really xiao diao ya le... Actually I think that's what happened to the entire table too, since we kept laughing a lot. Quite fun stj =) Thanks seniors! -beams happily-

Omg, right before Chinese New Year, I happily went to accumulate bruises... I've got about 7 or 8 more, big and small ones on my legs, thanks to huang cheng lian pai. Well, we were essentially moving a lot of things, and trying to keep quiet backstage, so naturally we tried to muffle the sound, by either resting it on our feet/legs, or just carrying it throughout. Never mind, due to certain miscommunications about clearing the stage and stuff, I think I crashed into people quite a few times, and the bulky daojus just kept knocking against my leg. =( And whilst helping people carry the teacher's desk, the desk legs kept whacking my leg too!

Then today, whilst walking around the amphitheatre, I managed to kick/trip over stones/bricks or get my foot caught in the plastic sheets. >< Okay, I admit it, I'm clumsy. And I need sleep... Huang cheng has been quite physically demanding the past 2 days, and today, because of my compounding sleep debt, I'm mentally and psychologically worn out as well. Now all I'm looking forward to is Friday, where I can sleep till late next morning. Mmm... Sleep. =)

Oh man, we ran three rounds on Monday, and with my less than average fitness, it was very draining, especially since I stayed back for cca after that till 7, ate dinner and reached home at 9++ And along the way I was nearly sleeping during bio lecture and lep too! Just very tired and stoned perhaps... Then today, for huang cheng, we had more physical training! Essentially meaning that we moved props to and fro, rehearsed scene changes, watched a few acts and ran back from dinner of 10(?) minutes for yet another rehearsal since tomorrow is lian pai. I now officially hate the swivel chair, for constantly inflating and deflating itself when I try to move it around during the act change, resulting in extra noises that could very well be cut down on. (To prevent scoldings) And the dao zhangs are saying that daoju has lesser and lesser people, apparently only 19 or something, so props making is going very slowly, since any rehearsal will require about all the people in the group. And the guys were particularly unhelpful today =( Or maybe it's every day, just that I only noticed it today. We were moving around large crates, teacher's table, see saw, more crates etc. And the guys were doing woodwork I think? Dunno lahz, but move until quite xin ku. Which is why I'm essentially practising for IFA or IPU or whatever you call it... But now my mum's complaining I don't take care of myself, then she was staring and said I now have more pimples and eye rings... >.< Just in time for new year too... Oh well. I will try to sleep earlier, I guess. And now I shall attempt to reply my angel letter, and my mortal already knows who I am! Well, he knows who I am, but he has absolutely no idea what I'm called... Then I got shiyan to write my letter for me today, and he commented that my handwriting became neater and nicer. XP I get the hint okay? But I really do try to be neat, just that I somehow end up writing inconsistently, and my handwriting is just...off Oh well, shall attempt to write more neatly, or use a finer pen. =)

Feeling tired but happy now, shall try and do chem tutorial... -sian-
