life like that.I think there's something wrong with the loading of my blog.everytime when i try to enter it,it just doesn't load fully,such that i gotta refresh it before it starts reloading.but nevermind about that.
Had a really very nice weekend.i mean,this is one of the very first time this year,that i managed to spend a whole lot of time at home,reading storybooks.well,maybe to some,it's nothing but a bore.but after going through two hectic semesters,i finally had some quiet moments to myself,doing simple things!but of course,reality soon came knocking on my door,asking me to come to my senses,cos there's lots of stuffs to complete this holiday.so am i still lovin' it?yes,of course.because these 30 days still belong to a marvellous word,that is 'HOLIDAYS'. =)
Sectionals last friday was a tough one,not only for the sec 1 juniors,but also for us,the seniors!i think sectionals in this june holidays are definitely gonna be challenging and arduous.guess all of us knows why larh huh.but still,sectionals are pretty fun,in a way.cos that's when we really get to relax (most of the time when the teacher's not there),after slogging in school for five days.okay,so there'll be combine on this coming wednesday.really wonder how it'll turn out to be,cos afterall,the sec 4s are no longer there,and it's been nearly two months since we had our last combine practice.so yup,till then...

[:Exams are like long over,but results for a few are totally disappointing larh.especially SS,and geography perhaps?but overall,all were actually quite expected...but since results can never be perfected for every single subject every exam,i just gotta accept it bah...so yup,that's about it...
Will be performing out this coming tuesday.gotta rush out of class right after school to make it in time for that place larh.it's definitely gonna be a hectic day for sure.and hopefully,i don't make any mistake!cos it's gonna be real loud and clear if i do play a note wrongly,and it'll spoil the whole song infront of all the guests man.besides,i don't have any other cellists beside me to cover my flaws larh.how great.but whatever.i shall just do my best and that will do. (:
I'm so looking forward to the holidays.though this one month will be quite a busy one i guess?but still,it's at least much better than killing my poor brain cells in school right?
okay.promise completed for an uncle~ lol. =p

TiredWoke up early in the morning just to accompany my dad to buy somethings,and have breakfast.that was like only 8am+?and i slept at 2am+ yesterday after watching a few episodes of my current addicted hk drama...so 6 hours isn't enough for me at all.came back at around 10am+,rested awhile,and it was time to carry out the main task of the day,which is to pack all the stuffs in the study room.it wasn't in the least bit easy,cos its a fact that lots of things are placed in the study room.we din't actually know where to even start from,but in just a while,my dad got the hang of packing things,and soon,the rubbish bag was filled with his so-called 'unwanted' stuffs.we started by clearing all the books which were of primary school level,cos my dad says his friend's son may be able to read those.so as my dad couldn't stand the sight of that big bag of books,in just a few hours of time,he got his friend to drive and stop by here just to get that bag of books.then we continued to pack and clear away all the things in the cabinet,so as to accomodate space to place my sec 3 books.we spent like 5 hours packing the study room,and at the end of it,so many things were thrown away,even my own precious stuffs. -.- yet,my dad still claims that the room doesn't look like it's been packed before.ohmy~ if that's the case,might as well throw every single thing in the house?so anyway, we only completed packing like 3/4 of the room,and my dad couldn't wait to clear the rest of the stuffs tomorrow.my dad's one who finds great satisfaction and pleasure in throwing away things,the more the merrier. =/
Anyway,sectionals yesterday wasn't a good one.i got
sooo fed up and frustrated cos of the beating part.i hate that metronome,it doesn't make me understand,it just makes me more confused.for a single bar,we can repeat it again and again for umpteen times,and i got so pek chek can.then sometimes,when we played almost till the end of the whole piece,a mistake was made,and we gotta start playing all over again.sectionals are fun sometimes,but not when we gotta keep repeating the same bar countless of times,and without any break in between the whole session.had quite a difficult time trying to get over with the 3 hours of sectionals yesterday,cos it seems like time is passing so very slow.was rather relieved after it ended.really hope that sectionals next week will change for the better.
Made a trip to jp after sectionals to meet up with the rest.we had our lunch first,then we walked to the library there to do our project.everyone started without a clear and certain idea in mind,but not long after,we settled with one final idea.as yvonne is the one who will be able to produce the best possible result concerning art stuffs,she started to work on the drawing,while the rest of us started on our write-ups.we didn't have much to do after we've completed our write-ups,so we just sat and chat with each other and borrow some books to read.as i usually don't have the habit to be able to concentrate reading outside,i just daydreamed and chat with yvonne,the artist among us.haha.anyway,we left the library at around 4.30pm,walked around jp for awhile,before i reached home at 5.30pm.the progress of our project is okay.hopefully,that's our last hurdle before the completion of our ss project.

Back. Okay...so it's been 15 days since i've last blogged.well,i guess i've been too occupied with other stuffs to enliven this close-to-dead blog of mine.anyway,went to esplanade with gj and jk yesterday to watch a concert by nanyang poly's co.they played a couple of pieces throughout the whole performance.though it was only an hour long,but we can actually see how much effort they have put in to make this performance a successful one.besides,the next impressing thing is that we got to see the 'chinese' cello,which is called
gehu.it's pitch is somehow similar to that of a western cello,and is the first school to use this as one of their instrument in the orchestra.i think it's looks pretty okay,but it's appearance is really different from that of a cello.
Anyway,the three of us met at je mrt station and proceeded to take a mrt there.so here comes the funny part.we were still on the escalator when the mrt arrived,so thinking that we might be able to squeeze in before it closes right infront of us,jk and gj rushed in,and even though i was following SO closely behind them,the door just had to shut right before my eyes. -.- one of the problem is,cos it's a sunday,and it's also during peak hour,the mrt was so so packed that even if the 3 of us managed to squeeze into the mrt,there wouldn't be sufficient space for us to move about.yup,so great.i'm supposed to take the next mrt there.this is still acceptable.the next disaster is that,i called jk and ask them to meet me at dover mrt station.so when finally,i reached there,i came out of the mrt while they went in!LOL.doesn't this sounds as if we're filming a drama?then,they phoned me,and told me to meet them at commonwealth mrt station,this time,we made sure what we said to each other were clear enough so as to avoid anymore 'hide-and-seek' game.met them there,and by the time we reached suntec city,it was already 10 minutes before the start of the concert.nevertheless,like us,a couple of them were also rushing their way through esplanade,and fortunately,we made it in time.just that we couldn't get a better seat in the middle,so we just had to make do with the highest row of seat.it wasn't as bad though,cos we still managed to get a clear view of the entire orchestra,and it sounds good. [:
The concert ended an hour later,and we decided to walk around esplanade before grabbing a bite.man,the instrument store there is just awesome,and the chocolate store too.BUT,the prices are just as splendid. -.-' afterwhich,we made our way to city link mall and walked around,taking a fairly long period of time to decide what we wanna eat.settled with a plate of spaghetti shared among the three of us.and a bowl of ice-kachang shared with gj,while jk ate the whole bowl all by himself.lol.chatted quite a lot on the way,and it was when i spotted a girl who was holding a fluffy candy floss.din't know that we would actually come across the stall on our way to the mrt station.jk and I bought one each,and luckily i decided to buy it after second thoughts,cos it's been long since i've last eaten that.we proceeded home soon after.had a pretty fun day. =)

Sullen SundaySince i've nothing to do now,i shall pen down my thoughts. [: actually i don't have anything much to write also,but uh well,this is the only thing to do for now.the progress of our ss project is rather slow,and till now,we still have slight doubts about how to go about presenting the best product to total up our project.which is quite a big disaster. -.- besides,some group members are going overseas too,this means that we'll be less of one or two brains to work out the strategy as well as one or two pairs of hands to quicken up the process of our project.but well,as long as we've put in our best in trying to complete this project,we shall leave the rest to fate.lol. x)
It's like drizzling now,not much of a surprise though.cos recently,you can hardly find days when it doesn't rain,it'll be already fortunate if only there isn't a storm.ohno,now that i've completed watching my hk drama,i miss it (and the characters too) so much! ='( i spent like 1 week to complete watching the 40 episodes.it's like sooo nice can!how i wish there's a part 2 to it,yet with the same characters again. -sighs- feel so weird and lost without that show now.it's been my daily routine to view it continuously for the past 7 days.well,i shall patiently wait for another hk drama,which consists of 60 episodes,and hence,it will be considered a big production.i think it's gonna be good too,cos the characters in the show is somehow similar to the one i've completed watching.but for now,i shall take a few days break,before starting on a new hk drama again. =]
Gosh.everyday in a holiday just seem to pass super fast.it's already a month since the end-of-year holidays started.yet,it only seems like half a month to me. -.- which means to say,we're only left with another month before school starts again.and the pity is that we're now trapped with long hours of cca practies,a few days in a week,and not forgetting,project meetings too.such a bother man.okay,from now onwards,i shall treasure everyday like there's no tomorrow,cos i can't afford to waste any more days doing completely nothing except for lazing around already,even if i would very much like it though. =x

Project meetingHad sectionals in the morning first,before the three of us left early to meet the rest for our project meeting.before we can carry on doing other things,we first had to develop the photos which we have taken specifically for our project.then,we had our lunch,and decided to do the project at chocolate bao's house,cos she has the footnotes of the photos in her computer,and we needed it too.as told to collect the developed photos in an hour later,we paid the money and boarded a bus to her house.it wasn't raining then,so we didn't have much of a problem to make our way there.we started off experimenting the burnt paper effect with a rough paper.we dipped it into a basin of tea first,before using a lighted candle to burnt it.it wasnt successful initially,and we later found out that it was actually due to the moisture of the wet paper.so,we left the original paper to dry first,before trying it out again.
Since we're supposed to wait for it to dry first,all of us didn't have anything to do for the time being.so we distributed the work,with me and chocolate bao arranging and writing the footnotes for each photo.it wasn't that boring though,cos we had music to accompany us throughout. (: so the rest of them went on to try the burnt effect,when the paper is finally dry,and unexpectedly,it turned out fine.but it wasn't that easy too,cos you gotta know how to control the fire in case it burns the whole paper.
So with that completed,they came to join me and chocolate bao.and finally,we completed part of it by 5pm.we wanted to make our way home,but the rain was just too heavy for easy movements.so we chatted for awhile,and used the computer to surf the net and to view photos.when it wasn't raining that heavily anymore,we made our way home around 5.45pm.it was indeed a very long and tiring day...anyway,gotta thank chocolate bao for allowing us to do the project at her house,and apologise if we've created a mess.yup.that's all. =)

ROT.Ohman!i'm doing nothing productive!practically nothing!OHNO.this is like so bad can?okay,let me recall what i've been doing the whole day.right,i woke up at 10am,had breakfast,used the computer,had lunch,read a few pages of storybook,slept,woke up,used the computer,bathed,had dinner and now,here i am,using the computer again to chat,blog and watch shows.ohmy.what a life.nope,i can't let this carry on any longer.i'm gonna start packing my room which is like oh-so-very-messy.i gotta exercise at least thrice a week too.and,i've been eating junk food every now and then,this is so not beneficial to maintaining a healthy body.gosh. =/
So tomorrow's concert has been cancelled.and the 10bucks will be used for another concert on 28 Nov.well,it is better this way.cos firstly,i've clearly forgotten about it.and i've something on tomorrow.but it so happens to fall on a tuesday when we'll have sectionals in the morning.it's gonna be a music-filled day then,and a busy one too.but once in a while,watching a concert is nice.yes,though it still depends on the genre ultimately.
Project's almost halfway through already (i hope).but for the next two weeks or so,some of them will be going overseas,so there will be some difficulty getting all to turn up for the project meetings and there will definitely be quite a big delay to the completion of our project.nevertheless,i think we are still on the right track so far,and hopefully,we'll get to complete it latest by the end of dec.till then,bye. (:
