*drained*

I don't know why I'm so tired... I just am, I guess. I was really, really high after we left the Singaopore Conference Hall after our performance. I can't begin to describe to you how I suddenly felt so free. I was looking at all those shopping malls that zoomed past us and thinking, 'OMG, I finally have time to visit them, maybe.' (Fat hope. I still have all those tutorials to complete...) But now I'm just empty.

We got a Silver. As expected. When I got the news, I just sat there and thought, 'Oh, okay. Hey, I won the bet. Hey, a lot of people also won the bet. Okay. How nice.' =P

Zhonghua got a Silver. *slits own throat* I'm still in denial. I can't believe it, to tell the truth. There are a few experienced zheng-ers in this year's batch. Plus, the ZH instructor took them for three years, whereas for OUR batch (the GOLD one) we were only taught by her for 2.25 or so years. They HAVE TO BE better than us by far. People were depressed over the fact that we tied with CJ *cough* but here I was, depressed over the fact that NYJC actually tied with ZH. Seriously, if ZH HAD to get a Silver, I think NY should be of Bronze standard. End of story.

Anyway. I don't have to return home at 8pm three days a week anymore. I would be jumping around in delight right now, but I don't have the energy...

I'm so tired.

Hey there. I'm tired. I have quite a bit of homework to catch up on and almost no time to complete them over the next few days. Kay, I'm just exaggerating, actually. I'm just so kiasu sometimes. Gooooo me.

Tomorrow is Happy Day. Even if I had to powder my face white and put on dark lipstick and look like a clown and walk around in my disgusting-looking-pink-andkindalowcut guzheng costume, on the road to get a (hopefully) Bronze or Silver, I'd still be happy. Tomorrow is the beginning of my freedom. No more listening to the instructor bitch. No more having to put up with her biased tendencies. No more having to return home at eight everyday.

Can you all give me a 'HURRAH'?!?!!?!!!?!!?!?!

Anyway... felt the need to input a little bit about Saturday. Didn't get a lot of work completed on that day... but it was fun. First of all, me, Vin, Crispy and Mag spent quite some time suanning Von about.... um.... her lack of general knowledge? =p (don't kill me, Von!) I would like to record some of the conversations here but I think Von would really kill me... Um... and we locked the latecomers out of the house for like 5-10 minutes. I know, we are only about five or... hm... six years old. I think.

I think I luff Saturdays now.

o_o

itai

Today we cheered really loud for Sweez! We're gonna cheer for Shannen tomorrow! Yay!! :D

My knee hurts. I dunno why. It's been like that since PE. The last time I got these creaking painful knees was in like P5. What's going on? >.< *in pain*

Miss GZ instructor finally came to her senses and realized (a little) what was wrong with our playing. And for the first time she finally admitted that we were heading for a COP. Yay.

more raisin bread

Haha... yep, CHeeky came over yesterday... it was quite unexpected... as it turned out, once he was in da house, no one had the mood to study anymore. He got us into conversations and serious discussions about God and religion, mainly because YH made him take the quiz on which religion most suits you. He got atheism first, I think... what I'm wondering is how Eunice got Satanism and he didn't. =P

Yeah... the best part was when he wanted to leave the flat and forgot that you need a key to open the lock. And when he finally found the keys, he didn't know which one was it. In the end, he did something really hilarious. Shannen has the pictures to show of it. I must get her to post it on the internet. =p

Anyway... Sweez took the quiz on how he was most likely to die... he got'BOMBED'. As in, the innocent bystander thrown into terrorist attack kind. Poor guy. And I got 'SUICIDE', and since I was wondering why since I don't get depressed easily, YH said maybe I'll become one of those suicide bombers. So now we have a story.

YH as the mastermind will order me to become a suicide bomber. So me will crash the plane into a bus stop outside Macdonalds where poor innocent Swee Wei will be standing. We die. Then Yinghui will be shot to death (assassinated) for her actions. LOL.

Er, as you can see we didn't do much work yesterday... I did learn something, though. People go crazy when they're hungry. *coughJoshcough*

a series of unfortunate events

ONE I lost my waterbottle. You know, the pretteh red one? @_@ I left it at the grandstand during PE this morning, came back around 4 in the afternoon, and it was gone. *cries* It has sentimental value, you knowwww. I've used it for about a year and it's been with me through the Os and the prelims.

TWO I... lost my handphone keychain. You know, the one that everyone from the usual gang has? *cries* I don't know where I dropped it...

Sigh. Not a good day. I really hate my timetable. But I think it's time to accept it and stop whining because really, such things can get old.

Anyway. I am going to b*tch about Ms/Mrs Guzheng Instructor of Nanyang Junior College. *takes a deep breath* SHE. IS . SO. ANNOYING. @_@ I'm seriously wondering how she ever qualified to be a teacher. She can't tell that our playing is all messed up - no one's playing at the same pace - and she can't tell who's too fast, or too slow. AND she's ordering our poor percussionist to hit the drums faster and follow the guzhengs - when really it should be the other way around. DOTS. Shouldn't it be the other way around? PLUS the guzhengs are speeding up too much and aren't keeping to the proper pace. And she knows it but she WANTS the drums to follow that. DOTS. What is she thinking?!!??!?!!?!?!? And with the competition only one week away?????1!!

Oh, yeah... she used my poor blue pen to mark something on Michelyn's 'pu'. Poor Mich. Her score is corroding and so is my pen.

Hahaha... I don't think I'll be able to clinch a post in NY guzheng now. I seriously think the instructor doesn't like me. One - she thinks I'm stupid and am a lousy guzheng player - otherwise why would I be in the last row and why would she always assume that I can't play new stuff that she comes up with. Two - Shuyi and I are always laughing (sometimes, yes, at her) and fooling around at the back in guzheng lesson. Three - I keep on 'diam'ing her anyway. =P I can't help it. I'm so irritated by her. I miss ZH guzheng TERRIBLY.

Anyway. I better stop now because I don't want this stuff to go around... who knows who may be reading this?!

(But seriously... you should see Miss Instructor conduct... the expressions on her face... OMGGGGGG... it's too hilarious... *peng-ed*)

I've been thinking... if I wanna quit gz, the time is NOW... Because I'll probably 'throw face' on the SYF day. I could join Red Cross and be reunited with my best friends. BUT... then I thought, if that's the case, my best FRIEND is in Guzheng. So, yeah...

Today 05a2 stood up when this bunch of guys sang 'peng you' in CT period. OMG... THAT SONG IS THE 05SA1 themesong. I don't wanna sing it with 05a2, no. (Okay, they're a bunch of nice people, but.. it doesn't feel right. Not to mention that we were throwing face. =P) I miss 05A1 BADLY. I feel so sad whenever I hear that song. I go HIIIIIGH whenever I see you people. *sniff* When's next KBOX session, guys? =P

tetegong-ness

Hahahaha! Today the gang came to my house for.... er... study group. Me, Mag, Yvonne, Shannen, Crispy, Sweez, Joshua, Lavid, Eunice, Vinny, YH... =P But everyone was late except Vinny and Eunice... and we ended up waiting two whole hours for almost everyone to arrive... So in the morning we didn't get to mug at all. @_@ We only actually started studying at one plus when we finally came to my house...

Crispy, Lavid and Joshua decided to be heroes and run up 20 storeys to reach my place. Actually, now I'm still not sure that I believe them... how can they do it in such a short period of time?! I mean, most of us gals had just stepped out of the lift and reached my doorstep when they appeared. o.o

um... it was quite a fun session... I was sitting at the coffee-table with Von and Mag and VIn... and we were multi-tasking because we were crapping while doing maths. Vinny was timing himself... he sort of set time limits on what he was going to study... but he always had no choice but to give himself *in deep voice* 'TIME EXTENSION's... haha. After a while the Thing - Crispy had nothing to do (because he's too MT) so he became our Entertainer. Shannen also joined in. OMG, they both play so well... *ENVIOUS* Even my mom suaned me. T_T Anyway. They play especially well together. Hahahaha! (Note to others: ;) )

But me and Mag still agree that.... um.... yeah. It shall not be repeated here. ^________^

Haha... er... poor Sweez. He took the wrong 410 - white plate. Sigh. It happens all the time. =P He did find his way back though. Lol... The best part was when he reached my doorstep and we gave him a number of tasks to fulfill before he was allowed to come in. Kind of like the Chinese tradition - the bride/bridegroom thingy. Sweez's the bridegroom and the bride is... um... Crispy? =P Hahaha... we made him sing a song (he barely did, though) and hand over five bucks (not a red packet, sadly, and Crispy returned it to him later anyway). Then I came up with the idea of letting him in only if he put on *CUTE* poses and let us take pics of him. HAHA. =P

Er, okay... so... after we tortured Sweez (NO, girls are NOT sick and dangerous) things got even more distracting than before. I ALMOST couldn't do my work. ALMOST. I'm just a pro when it comes to multi-tasking. *smiles* Haha. And I was still multi-tasking when we decided to watch MVP Qing Ren. The funniest part was when Crispy decided to turn the voices up to the highest pitch. Seeing such squeaky voices coming out of the coach and the spastic principal was OMGly funny. Of course, tuning it down to the lowest pitch was even funnier - and weird, too. I mean, guys' voices were coming out of the heroine's mouths. SO all those sappy lovey-dovey romantic scenes looked so GAY. In the end we couldn't take it and switched it back. Hehehe...

The story is so sad!!1 *sniff* Even my sister is hooked already... well, I told her some of the story beforehand anyway... I must finish that series... I know I'm probably the ONLY person in the world who HASN'T seen MVP Qing Ren, but whatever... I was banned from the TV set... (and still am...)

Oh, btw, we have even more evidence of Crispy's MT-ness now. He taught himself to play my guzheng. *T_T*

(WHY IS MY DAD PLAYING PINBALL ON HIS COMP?!!??!?)

Hahaha... well, from reading this you're probably thinking that we didn't study at all. We did, actually... in fact, Lavid and Josh and YH appeared to be mugging SO hard... and Eunice is very good at mugging by herself anyway. Even Shannen quietened down after a while. AND I completed my Binomial Theorem Tutorial!! HOHOHO!! (ER... half of it, anyway. HEY, it's the BINOMIAL THEOREM. The most boring, pointless and luo suo topic ever. PLUS it's the topic where I'm most likely to make careless mistakes in. I am so pathetic.

Okay, looking forward to next study group session... I must mug harder the next time. =P



4/07/2005

This sucks.

I have an extremely sh*tty timetable. I end at 5.10 on Monday and Thursday. I end at 4.10 on Tuesday - and that is NOT a big difference - plus, I have lessons for FIVE HOURS STRAIGHT - yesh, without a single break - on that day. I only end early on Wed and Fri - THANKFULLY I don't have guzheng practices on those days! *sigh* I have 'zheng practice on 1, 2, 4.... until 8pm as always... this sucks.

Today's gz practice was more fun than usual... because Shuyi and I were sitting next to each other. We were really bored. (Who wouldn't be bored playing the most boring sections of the music piece...? With the teacher not giving a damn about you, too?) So we kept on laughing at every single small stupid thing. And we played very loudly - our best, too, I think. And everytime the instructor cut the music, only Shuyi and I continued playing our parts - softly, of course. We repeated it like ten times. People were turning around to give us that 'wth...?' look. HAHA.

Er... and there was this moment where I couldn't stop laughing. One of the percussionists - the guy one - was banging the drums and we were playing our usual parts - and we were all playing, caught up in the music and - ta-daa - he hit the cymbals. (On accident, of course. He wasn't supposed to. LOL) OMG... so anti-climaxing. Everyone stopped playing the zheng in that moment to laugh. Laughing gas hit me then...

Oh, and today the instructor finally, finally noticed us. If only for a little. WAHAHA. Whatever. Once the J2s quit we'll turn over and reform their system. And the first thing we'll do is to NOT put the zhengs back in their stupid bulky cases everytime we finish a practice, because there is actually NO NEED to.

And today's lunchtime performance sucked. I doubt anyone can hear anything. Bah.

I really, really miss 05A1. *cries* I think my new class is... okaaaaay. There are a LOT of nice and friendly people, definitely... but there is this group I really find it difficult to mix with. *nod* I suppose there are people like that everywhere, inevitably. I think I'm starting to be seen as antisocial because I keep on running off to see you 05A1 +++ guys. =P Oh, yeah, our gang expanded. Yay, the more, the merrier. =P

But why is everyone mugging...?!
