Anymore? PLEASE TELL ME

Gawd I hate homework...

Okay, if you can catch the teeny weeny lil' hints, my day wasn't so good today.

It all started when I woke up at five minutes to ten this morning. I lazed in bed for about 20 minutes before dragging my fat ass off and heading for the showers. My morning preparation shit was quite bumpy as my left middle finger scratched against the metal hinge of my kitchen cupboard yesterday so I had to shower, brush my teeth and wash my face with one hand.

Watching Cloud8745 blow up headcrab zombies and gun down Combines took 2 or 3 hours of my morning. The rest of my time on the computer was either spent on writing and correcting fanfiction or reading this really cute manga named "You're My Girlfriend". It's one of the cutest manga I've ever read, it only has 4 chapters XDXD. Here's the summary taken directly from the site:

"...a oneshot about a girl named Hatsune with a "bad mouth", for lack of a better description. She's kind-hearted and all, but her mouth spews the total opposite of what she means (which is probably due to the fact that she grew up with five brothers, a father, and no mom). And so she is seen as an arrogant, mean girl at her school, and that is why she hasn't had a boyfriend for the past fifteen years of her life. Well, that is, until she gets accepted at this Maidens' Club, where she meets a guy called Kirie with a somewhat unique habit (it happens when a girl comes within six inches of him). How will these two fare? Will Hatsune finally have a boyfriend at last? Will she be more than just a 'girl' friend?"

Actually, the story is about Hatsune trying to find a female friend with the help of Kirie(LAUGH, Rhia XDXD). She succeeded in finding one girl who WAS known for stealing boyfriends--she befriended her by speaking up for her in front of other girls--and a boy who, at the beginning, wears a skirt so that he would look like a girl instead--F.Y.I., it totally worked...

It's a totally awesome and cute manga XDXD. And if you're starting to think that this post is a review of the manga, YOU'RE SO DANG WRONG XDXD. Only part of it is. XDXD

At about 4pm this afternoon, I turned on the TV to watch 'Dogfights', a documentary on fighter planes in wartimes. The plane featured this episode was the P-51 Mustang, an icon in World War II aerial combat. In one memorable dogfight, a lone P-51 Mustang fought an entire fleet of 15 German bomber planes, with two jet fighters--the very first ones in history--to start the dogfight. I think the jet fighters were called ME 262 or something like that. The pilot was able to down about 4 or 5--I can't remember--enemy planes and a probable jet fighter kill, meaning that it was possible that he destroyed one jet fighter. And F.Y.I., the pilot is still alive and kicking to this date. And then there was this one time where a fighter plane, I forgot the name, but I remembered that it was a very iconic plane because no matter how many times it was shot during combat, it somehow always managed to bring its pilots--the plane has had different pilots from time to time--home again. Once, the plane was shot so badly that when the pilot counted the bullet holes, he lost count and gave up at around 200, and that was only one side of the plane, mind you. The German fighter plane it was up against shot it so many times to no avail that the pilot gave up on shooting it and even tipped its wings at the lucky plane and it pilot, a form of salute in aerial combat I think. It was so COOL!

Alright, since I have already spent one big paragraph on planes, I shall end my post on this note:

THE PILOT OF THE P-51 AGAINST JETS AND BOMBERS IS SO AWESOME!!! XDXD

Sae, out! XDXD

Monday, March 9, 2009 Monday Woozies...

The END OF THE WORLD was yesterday and I was sick through it all...

Today, I. AM. STILL. SICK.

I got up at about 9am plus, with a blocked nose, flaming throat and in a blurry state of mind, so I laid on my bed for about half an hour listening to some songs until my head cleared enough for me to get out of bed.

After my morning stuff, I turned on the computer and well, let's just say that my entire day was mostly made up of watching Sun Wukong on the comp and writing...stuff.

And that's all for monday woozies! Not much happened today because I. AM. FREAKIN. WOOZY.

Sae out.

TOMORROW IS THE END OF THE WORLD!!! Beware. XDXD

Today's choir rehearsal was quite good, although I had to sit aside as one of the 'sickies' XDXD; I had a sore throat today XDXD.

Ms. Lim came to hear us sing...And her remarks were...harsh, but true.

To all my fellow choir members, here is how I feel about choir:

Although we get scolded often and although we have really bad times, I never regretted joining choir. Sure, sometimes I wonder if life in band or some other CCA would be better, but the good times we shared as a choir reminds me at every second of everyday, that I have made the right choice. Perhaps we don't have cool-looking uniforms like band or fancy footwork like dance, but we--each and every one of us--all have wonderful voices.

I decided to join choir when I was a Sec 1 simply because I love singing, and I wanted to make the best out of my own voice. In my opinion, being in choir has helped me in more ways than one. As all the other performing arts know, it is not easy to go up in front of a million people and perform for them a 100% perfect show. It is not easy to compete with other schools whose skills you have not heard of. And it will not be easy to stand on a stage, in a concert hall filled with people and sing for them and three judges. It is not, and will never be easy.

But...

No matter how hard it is going to get, I am prepared to stand with Swiss Choir through it all. Singing is something people should enjoy, so let's make our S.Y.F enjoyable, okay?

Friday, March 6, 2009 Bittersweet Friday...

Attention, earthlings, you have 2 days to the end of the world. BEWARE XDXD

In short, today was a bittersweet day...

First off, our Chinese lesson went on quite fruitfully. I was particularly enthusiastic this session because I actually have an interest in the chapter we were discussing, which was about Sun Wukong: Quest for the Sutra. I had fun teasing Ah Liang's gravity-defying hair XDXD

After that, it was Geography and Science following up. I shall not elaborate on those as nothing much happened.

After recess was the real deal. As my fellow 2E2 peeps know, Beat Rice is NO LONGER our English teacher! Not to sound rude or anything, but I thought she'd never leave! I was like "FINALLY!!!" And also, I dislike her because she gave me a C6 for my CA1!!! NOT FAIR!!! If it were Mr. Wong grading me, he'd give me at least a B3! C'mon! A C6? I know I suck like hell, but a C6 is GOING TOO FAR XP!

Enough about that.

Alright, down to my point for today's post...Choir.

To all my fellow choir members, although because I'm only a Sec 2 student, I shouldn't be the one saying this, but we have got to stop f**king around! SYF is about 1 and a half month away!!! Some of us are trying really hard to be the best we can be, but what about the others? You keep saying you hate choir, you hate choir, but haven't you ever wondered that if you work harder and helped our choir improve, you might actually start enjoying life as a choir girl? Mr. Wilson said that we sounded like CRAP and you know why? We didn't try hard enough! Can't we just make our efforts worthwhile by making efforts in the first place? I'll admit that I didn't give my 100% best today and that was because I had a sore throat, but I kept singing despite that. Has anyone of you lost your voice right after a session? I did. I could hardly even speak after today's shitty rehearsal. Our seniors are trying to help us but in spite of that, some of us just ignore them. I can't say that I was the only one trying because I'm not.

Shi Jia and Josephine sang until they almost lost their voice, Cui Ting and Amelia sang until they cried. Has that happened to any of you?

Though I myself often wonder if my passion for singing has diminished because of choir, but...

Memories of the great times we have as a choir would come back to me. Last year, during the concert period, we were all so psyched about it and we tried to do our very best. What happened after that? When did the love of singing disappear? We've had good times and been through bad times, now SYF is so, so close, can't we just make it a great time to be? It'd be our Sec 4 seniors' final SYF with Swiss Choir and I'm sure no one would want them to leave regretting that they joined choir instead of freakin band.

All of us have heard our teachers say that Mr. Wilson is coming to conduct us for free. He could've given up on us and went on to other schools that actually make his sessions worthwhile. Still, he never stopped believing in us. It's just that every time we let him down, his hopes sink, and they would rise up again the next time we see him. Does it feel good to you people? Dashing hopes?

Regret is a horrible emotion one should feel. I really, really don't want us to break down...Swiss Choir cannot go on like this if only so few of us actually try to do well. Evolution gave us vocal cords for a reason. The Gods gave us life and the ability to make people happy for a reason. Time gave us the ability to prepare for a reason. And Life itself gives us the chance to correct our wrongs.

Although we may have bad times to come, can we still bring sunrise to a seemingly endless night? Can we all just give our best for Swiss Choir? ...Because, I really don't want us to be looked down upon by others. It hurts...That feeling of weakness, not being able to stand up when fallen...It really hurts. Can we all just prove ourselves to be as worthy as others?

I don't want anyone to cry anymore...

Wednesday, March 4, 2009 Wednesday Blues and Greens.

Wednesday...4th of March 2009, four more days to go till the end of the world...

For those who know, WE STILL HAVE FOUR FREAKIN DAYS LEFT!!!

Woke up today at about 5:20am. My dad was watching soccer XDXD. After all the morning preparations, I journeyed to my kitchen for breakfast. My usual breakfast would be two pieces of hash browns and a mug of coffee, but, we ran outta hash browns so I made scrambled eggs, sprinkled with tiny pieces seaweed. The final touch to my awesome brekkie was the chilli sauce XDXD. HENCE, I had a great breakfast.

I arrived in school at about 6:35am and started on my NYAA reflection for the previous two weeks of inline skating enrichment. Since I couldn't remember what we did, I just scribbled a bunch of useless information XDXD.

The first lesson of the day was PE. Ms. Ho told us to run 3 rounds around the perimeter of our school and St. Anthony Primary school. I don't know why, but when Jo doesn't run, I nearly injured myself in the first round. Not too sure what happened, maybe it's due to the 50 freakin squats I did yesterday, but my left knee suddenly went numb and after I continued running for a while more, it started to hurt. So, I had to sit down and watch others run...I WANTED TO RUN!!! After the running. we had to do inclined pull-ups. I was super awed when I heard that Gabriel did 56 PULL UPS!!! ...I only did 29. I AREZ DE NOOB XDXD.

Skipping the detailed summary of Math and Geography lessons...

During recess, I sang NOISE--by Amano Tsukiko--over and over again. IT'S AN AWESOME SONG~!!!

Next up was Literature. I realized that Mr. Deep is like a future version of Zul; the accent and the physical appearance...very disturbingly similar...Anyway, he showed us this video of a fugly female puppet, with a MALE voice actor, reciting Portia's speech of mercy (from Merchant of Venice). I was EXTREMELY disturbed and creeped out. I mean, the puppet is so freakin hideous and with a MAN as a voice actor for a female? COME ON!!! Are people mad?!

After that, Science began. We went through the Electricity worksheet and blah blah blah...

LUNCH TIME!!! I think Jo's hooked onto the vegetarian food XDXD. She had wanton noodles with a pice of hashbrown, steamed egg and some other third thing I failed to remember XDXD. I had curry chicken rice with steamed egg. Also, chocolate milk is another of Jo's recent hook-ons. She had a packet of it during recess, but during lunch, she had honeymelon juice.

Inline skating was super fun today. After we geared up, skating on uneven grounds was the usual problem for us novices. We were taught the figure of eight today. It was a little hard for me because we were to start on the spot, whereas I needed to glide for a while before doing it, so as to gain momentum. But, I got over that problem XDXD. Just some extra information, I kept calling Kuan Yiou M squared and Zhiming Ah Ming XDXD. For Zhiming is because I have a cousin whom I address as Ah Ming kor kor XDXD. Same goes for Tze Liang; I have a cousin I address as Ah Liang kor kor and coincidentally, those two cousins are brothers.

Before we ended today's enrichment, we participated in a little race. While skating along the corridors, we had to avoid small cones by performing the figure of eight. Some who returned first went for a second round for reasons unknown.

I met up with Rhia at the bus stop and we went to Plaza. Saw Cai Xinyi and friends. Rhia needed to buy some paper to make a card for her dad's birthday. After buying some drinks--Rhia got honeydew ice blended and I got slurpee-- we went to Garden Plaza to crap about stuff XDXD.

Came home at about 7:15pm, took a hot shower--you would be surprised how stanky rental skaes, guards and helmets can make you-- and took all this time to write this one post cuz I'm not used to my new keyboard that my bro bought.

AND THAT'S ALL~!!!! REMEMBER!!! 4 DAYS UNTIL THE END OF THE WOOOOORLD~!!!! BEWARE!!!! AND SEEEE YAAAA~!!!!!!

Tuesday, March 3, 2009 Choir @ Victoria Concert Hall

Today was FUN! I really enjoyed myself during choir rehearsal and particularly because I got to skip Da Fan and Art class!

Gathered in AVA 1 a.k.a. Choir room at 7:35am. We did the usual warm-ups and stuff until about 7:45am. The bus arrived in school at around 8:05am. Since Bern sat with Colleen and Josephine sat with Shi Jia, I had to sit alone on the bus, but I didn't mind XDXD. Throughout the trip to VCH, I was reading my Kyou Kara Maou manga and fantasizing about MURAKEN-CHAN. Josephine went all rabid fangirlish over this super nice silver Jaguar car and a white car of unknown species XDXD.

When we got to VCH, it was already 9am. Started off with Lafalafa, which went pretty smoothly if not for the tuning and loudness problems. Then, we moved on to Xiao He Tang Shui. I think we sounded quite nice, but I'm not exactly sure anyway XDXD. White Horses was rather interesting, enough said.

The time we arrived back in school was about 11:50am...unfortunately, it meant that Mother Tongue lesson was still on. Since M.T. was boring and stupid, I'm not gonna reveal anything that happened.

12:10pm signified Assembly time. We had this man named Charles briefing us on our coming Secondary 2 camp next week. After that...I forgot what happened after that...Oh well.

I had wanton noodles again for lunch. The reason why I don't eat chicken chop on Tuesdays is that the fried chicken chop is very hard to eat XP. That's a stupid reason you say? Well, it's just my opinion, you can think what you like XDXD.

After the afternoon choir rehearsal--which I'm not going to elaborate on, other than the 50 painful, painful squats--Jo and I went to C-dans cuz she wanted to buy a hotdog...We got onto this super squeezy bus. Around Teck Whye, some strange dumbass kept pressing on the stop button for some dumbass-ish reason. The bus driver even had to shout in the bus, causing us to be stuck at Teck Whye for some 15 minutes...I got so fed up I alighted at the next stop and took the LRT home instead.

So, that's pretty much the general summary of what happened on this fine day. XDXD

SEE YA! MATA NE~!!!

Due to the fact that managing a website is too troublesome, I've decided to join bloggers instead.

Sooo...Nothing much happened today. Haha, sorry I have nothing to write about other than the fact that I changed tune. XDXD
