*

haha french lessons is a riot! sheesh..monsieur dremaux has the uncanny ability to see through which questions i'm not sure of, and he never fails to call me for that particular question. (then again, i carn do so much stuff it carn be that difficult for him to "read" my mind. hmm.) well anyway...his jokes are getting dirtier and dirtier, sometimes without even meaning for them to be so...haha entertainment at its very best too *grinses*
yay choir tomorrow, and thurs, fri, sat, mon and tues! wheeee...can't wait! =]
eeks. talking to sunny, jen, ad online has become a dangerous thing to do! gosh. sunny's pure evil man!

oh choir's getting to be very enjoyable and fun! We used to be super segregated, altos and sops against tenors and basses, but now, i think it's getting better and we're starting to blend. it had to happen sooner or later as expected, but it's really just great to see it happening now, especially since syf is in 10 days and i think we would sing better if we get along better with one another, so yay =] and our conductor is terribly entertaining as well..always manages to have us in stitches with his weird comments. =]
oh yes! we discovered a new talent in choir today. a soprano hidden in the midst of the basses. but shhhh. it's top secret, and it has to be hidden especially from our conductor, who might just exploit that talent. reaching high A and beyond. imagine that. *grinses*

An ache in the heart
A lump in the throat
The welling of tears
Flowing, never-ending fear.
Why this? It's a question
Asked once, twice, three times, four.
Silence ensues, answers unreached
Perhaps the gap will remain unbreached.
The tears dry, the ache subsides
If only that would happen, taken by the tide.
But the pain, strong, sharp and stabbing
Never going away, never disappearing, never vanishing.
Please? A prayer i say, a prayer i feel
Please God, please answer this prayer so real.
Please tell me why, please tell me how
To banish these thoughts that have been sowed.

haha yay. my air-y voice is not that air-y after all, according to mr toh my conductor *beam*
oh but today's mini-performance was quite fun, considering we were still practicising very very last minute, like really until the last minute =]
man u match today! *beam* at 2.35am though. which means i can't sleep tonight. sigh. but... =]
on a much heavier note, i have tons of homework to do. URGH. it's like accumulated and accumulated and accumulated. i'm sooo disgusted with myself. so disgusted.
sigh. i feel so slack! i need a sports cca! maybe i should join water-polo cos i heard they haven't started training yet. but it might clash with choir. =[

EEKS. it's tomorrow. or rather, today considering the time.
i'm freaking out!
sighs. can't wait for tues and wed to come, and for elections to be over, and for results to be out, and for the uncertainty to be over, and for the dreaming and wishing and hoping to end.

reginald and krishna sang this song during choir that day. really beautiful, both the song and their voices. *grinses* they seem to be getting super popular in choir because of this i suspect. =] they're singing it at the gala dinner i think, the one where PM Goh is going to be at! argh! i want to go too! (for his autograph *laugh*)
The Prayer
I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che tu hai
[I pray we'll find your light]
Nel cuore rester�
[And hold it in our hearts.]
A ricordarci che
[When stars go out each night,]
Eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
[Let this be our prayer]
Quanta fede c'�
[When shadows fill our day]
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Sogniamo un mondo senza pi� violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno lo dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace, di fraternit�
La forza che ci d�
[We ask that life be kind]
� il desiderio che
[And watch us from above]
Ognuno trovi amor
[We hope each soul will find]
Intorno e dentro s�
[Another soul to love]
Let this be our prayer [Let this be our prayer],
Just like every child
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
� la fede che
Hai acceso in noi,
Sento che ci salver�

and just one more thing. choir's having a mini-performance at the concourse at 3.15pm on wed. it'll last about half an hour, and it's sort of dedicated to all the people affected by SARS. do try to be there? =]

yay! can't wait for tomorrow to meet everyone again! cris, jen, val, sunny, ad...and well, everyone else! *beams*
oh campaigning's finally over. heh. =] am very tired, eyes can hardly stay open from the late nights in the past week...but i guess the experience was not a bad one. it was quite fun, but terribly embarrassing at times, and had to be so thick-skinned eeks. hmm was very touched when weijie came up to me and told me that my speech was really good. It's definitely not true, but so nice of him. =) and thanks a lot for everyone's else's support...of course not only in this particular hectic crazy campaigning week, but for all the other things as well. i'll never regret this even if i don't make it to council...cos at least i tried =]
+ serene @ 7:13 PM
* [ serene ] r e m e m b e r s again * 7:13 PM
yayyyyy! got through council interviews and am officially running for council now =]
my council teammates are Liang Si, Grace Huang and Zhengyue. not bad...we represent almost all the faculties except engineering. and we didn't even intend for it to be so. =]

oh cool. had my first chinese lesson today, and am currently piled with chinese homework since i'd missed first 3 months of it, but oh, it is so so fun! *beam* for once, i'm actually learning something in chinese, and well, actually absorbing. i think i'll go on taking chinese lessons for the rest of the year even if i decide not to take the ao chinese exam, but just retake my higher chinese. yay..shall go do my chinese homework now. wheeeee!!! =]

ok, i should be happier.
the post below isn't about my new class by the way. my new class is fine, they seem nice people so far, and i guess in time, i'd feel more at home. of course, i miss 3h lots and lots, i felt happy and sad as i crashed their chem tutorial today..just felt nostalgic i guess. wished i was back with them, but it's ok..i'll still see them during lectures and all, and maybe i'll crash chem tutorial on a frequent basis, for after all, i have a free period in that block. *grinses*
then what on earth does the post below refer to? oh it doesn't take much to guess. 9th april. 9/4/2003. in chinese, it literally translates as "a long death" by the sound of the characters. and that's exactly what today is. the death of a life-long dream. gone. smashed to pieces. poof. i never realised i was such a good magician.

How many realise what�s going on today?
All the senseless killings, all the innocent slain
Lost, forever gone, I cannot say
How sad it is, how much the pain.
How many realise what�s going on today?
SARS, mad-cow disease, what could be next?
It�s time we rally to keep them at bay
But why do we evade and avoid instead?
How many realise what�s going on today?
Chaos and unrest, bleak and grey.
Is it so hard to see we�re all going the same way
To the same destination, why then do we slay?
How many realise what�s going on today?
How many realise we need to stop and pray,
For all to achieve a peace one day,
For all to live another day.

yay =) am happy!
finally figured out how to do mathematical induction with xuanyou's help. and this is like after 2/3 weeks of total cluelessness. *grinses* thanks! =]
oh now i don't want the holidays to end. i finally have something to do, after visiting the library, and coming home with tons of books to read! *beam* finally, finally managed to borrow Catch 22 which has been on my "to-read" list for a long long time, but just never got around to finding it and borrowing it from the library. Plus a whole lot of Jostein books. Oh, it's starting to get fun :)
i guess moe's thinking of extending the quaratine-ment. i guess, if it's really necessary...ah well. still can't wait to get back to school though...=)
hmm. and with all the free time on my hands, i decided to write a french poem! what fun :)
Je sais pas pourquoi, je sais pas comment
Je sais pas quand je tombe pour toi encore.
Ma d�tresse, mes larmes, mon c�ur, mon tout
Sont sien, mais tu ne manque pas du tout.
Parce que je suis invisible, je n�existe pas
C�est pour toujours ce qui suis j�� vous.
La douleur, les larmes commencent de nouveau
Tous que je veux est pour toujours vous.
