Hey people! Life's been full of books and words! I'm sure it's like that for most of you too! Hopefully..heh..
On Wednesday 16th of June, there was a gathering of friends at Raffles City, City Hall. With smiles of enthusiasm and joy spread across their faces, the boys and girls decked out in similar costumes of white and blue scattered in pairs throughout the mall, each racking their brains for activities that will interest their honourable guest on that day.
The attendance was meticulously marked and each arrived pair was smacked on their butts rushed by Grandmother Nan to their assigned stations. Spirits were hidden in bags high and everyone was keyed up for the activity that was to come!
After what seemed like an eternity, the call of the millennium finally arrived! There was a moment of panic as everyone rushed into last minute preparations!
The honourable guest of the day finally strolled into Raffles City, innocently unaware of his impending doom the bundles of surprise awaiting him! He moved from station to station, magically gaining a year in age after sharing much enjoyment and laughter with the stationmasters. There were challenges and hurdles too, but with a lovely companion by his side, he was suddenly filled with strength and courage, as he braved the storms that were to come.
He tried on thousands of garments, tasted unusual words on his tongue, and even painted his face in blue and glazed his lips with (rose) pink!
The day seemed to rush to an end - the hours flew by as the honourable guest raced towards his eighteenth year.
The lovely companion arrived, breathless and blushing a lovely pink. "It is time!" she announced. Muggers in burger king The boys and girls tidied their brushes and parchments into sacks and slung them onto the back. With pennies came bread and drinks, which were packed into their sacks for dinner later on. And off they went, for the march towards the final destination!
Anticipation filled the air, in the magical garden that was all flowers and streams with their tiny waterfalls. A beautiful cake nestled in the hands of Grandmother Nan, which gave it tender loving care! Excited screams of "He's coming! He's coming!!!" caught everyone up into a frenzy!
The honourable guest appeared, accompanied (forever and ever) by his lovely companion! The boys and girls burst into song, with Master youngyee for accompaniment. Voices, high and low, old and young, blended into one as our present for our guest ascended towards the clouds!
He was made to cut the cake and then nanda beee cut the remaining cake and we all ate cake and then we all sat down and ate dinner then people started to leave and then I went home too! :D It was a really nice fun day and I was glad I got to see everyone! Miss you all! :)
We had a class dinner on Friday! It was quite nice. After the dinner at Burger King, we strolled down to the waterfront outside the esplanade and sat down for a talk. There was even a plan for a class chalet!!!! :D Hope it turns out successful!
Alex, Carolyn, Jolene and I went to study in SMU today. It was a productive Saturday! :)
Sigh...sharing giammie with mr loh is not very nice....*grumblesgrumbles. YOU ARE A LUCKY GUY.

Heys! I went to school today to study!
Met Dean in the morning, he went for his lesson, he came back and played the com, nanda beeee arrived, alex arrived, we ate thaipan lunch, then we tried to settle back into studying:)
Who knows, out of the blue came robin ng! Marcus Loo also came by to pick up his A level certificate. We didn't do much work after robin came cos he was so distracting! (oops!) :)
Then merilyn came and we ordered thaipan dinner! :) We ate then played taidi for a few rounds before I finished my last set of market structure.
Nanda beee left after our dinner and the rest of us left the choir room at around 8.30pm:) Merilyn pangsehed dean for binng and they went parkway tgt.(O.O) Dean missed his 135 cos he was in lack of coins and alex and I went home after he kopped borrowed coins from us.
mmmm.....I need entertainment! Sigh. I need to study too. If our lives really revolve around an 8 day week, I think we will still feel it with work. Seems endless for people who mug so slow like me. Sigh...
Feelings are a bit mixed at the moment, the pictures dishen took which dria just posted on facebook really brought back many happy happy bittersweet memories. I was just wondering when we will really get over choir and get on with our lives, and I realised that the answer to that question...will not be answered, ever, at least for me. You can say choir is like ecstasy, it makes you high and you won't wanna stop. But choir is much more healthier than a drug of course, it's like sunshine that brightens my world. It makes the flowers that lives in my heart bloom, it gives my music life, and paints my world with colours. It's the sweetest and most memorable journey that I have taken in my entire 18 years, and I will give up nothing for this.
It's incredible how hard it is for me to put down my attachment to vj choir. But with the people gone, the atmosphere will definitely be changed, it won't be my vj choir anymore...:) I guess you must be tired of seeing me yearn about the choir, don't worry, I won't type them out anymore, at least, not until a significant event occurs! haha. It's just this incident that happened today that triggered all these emotions again.
I think Dean and Merilyn were talking about the songs we performed for our openhouse last year. Then they talked about chengwei and the gaudette solo he performed, plus our year 1 chorus ave verum. Then nan said that was the first time vj choir performed for the first time as a year 1 batch 2009. Pocks was in the audience, and when he saw us, he cried. It was his birthday, and he told us that was the best present vj choir could have ever given him.
love you pocks, love you seniors, love you vj choir, forever and ever

Hey:)
I had cereal fish for dinner as one of the dishes just now...and somehow, I was reminded of... the choir days..haha..am I too sentimental? The cereal smell somehow brought back all the memories of cereal chicken at thaipan, and also in school when we once ordered dinner from ms jancy and the ball almost hit jiaen's head. :) haha it sounds kinda weird and disjointed when I read it from the start of the paragraph! Chengwei and a few of the other guys, playing around with the ball after dinner at the long grass patch outside the choir room=)
The moment the memories hit me, so did the emotions. I didn't realise my life was so entangled with choir, could it even be unhealthy? sigh... you know this feeling of depression when you feel like nothing else matters anymore, what else in life holds for you, what are you living for, why are you even doing the things that currently hold your attention....
Well, dwelling on the negative thoughts, I really see no point in us studying so hard, all in a day's effort for just a pathetic slip of paper. I can't speak for others, but I know I don't understand most mathematic concepts. I just memorise, and to ridicule how the country's education system work, take a look at the aces that decorate my result slip. Forcing myself to study because I have to, because of the eyes that will banish me to a world of their disappointment and fall of their expectations, because of all reasons that have nothing to do with what I want.
If the society wasn't so demanding of qualifications, I will just go study some random subjects like farming and gardening:)
Graduating from junior college, moving into hopefully a local university, moving on, finding a job, building a family, growing old, death...
Seems like a motion what most people go through...sighh...so boring right..
But negative thoughts aside, I'm treating the mugging for CT 2s now as a payment for the enjoyment I will get after CT 2s, however short it may be. The mugging can also payoff for the past one week I've been out or the future days I'll go out and play!
I went studying with alex yesterday. After sieving through the many options in the small island of singapore, we decided to head towards school! :) I finished binomial yesterday.
To tell the truth, I'm school-sick. Meaning I miss school ah.. I don't know why though..could it be I miss the people that I have been seeing almost everyday for the past few months? Or could it be that I just miss the environment and the familiar surroundings in school.. To come to think of it, we only have 4 more months to be in school as a rightful student. Someone who actually has reason to be in school. Using the classrooms, the tables, the chair, right down to the toilet in the T block....yes I know I'm being sentimental again. I get so attached to places where I have beautiful memories:) I don't want to grow up, I don't want to face the world. I want to continue being a student where teachers will take care of you and your schoolmates will smile to you in the corridor. University is different. It seems to me, a place where people pursue their own individual degrees, their own paths...where in jc now, all of us work towards this common goal, A levels! :)
School is really more than choir for me. It's also the people, the atmosphere, the bonding between people sharing the same uniform and badge. mmmm....maybe I'm overstating a little, but somehow I feel bonded to schoolmates even if we don't really know each other. haha. maybe it's because of those few common memories...
Continuing on from negative thoughts aside, I think life can be as fun as how you want it to be! :) Organising activities to bring people together, creating fun in the family...depends on how you want to spend your time, meaningfully or not.
I will be going to school tomorrow again, seems like the year 1s have practice *wistful smile. But I think I will be avoiding them..dunno how though, maybe during altos sectionals I will escape to the classrooms. But on monday when Alex and I studied we were chased out of the classroom. We sought refuge outside the staffroom instead:)
A recount of last week's events:
Mon-A very fun class outing! A first time in L4D, went to the arcade and pooled! haha.
Tues-Did hbl at merv's
Wed-went to giammie's for bio proj hbl
Thurs-Shrek!
Fri-Vesak day with pocks, js, robins, ky, jiaen, lex
Sat-adhoc crc interview and nyjc concert!
Sun-piano lesson and tea at nydc bugis!
Adhoc and crc handover felt so final...I guess it's goodbye:)
mmm haven't been finding good books recently to read! sigh..a bit tired of the titles I have at home. Introduce me to authors you like! I crave for new volumes to devour...yumyum! haha.
The weather was thankfully cooler yesterday, though it has gotten slightly unbearable yet again! Thus my decision to escape to school after a day of melting at home! :)
quite a long post..cya!
