haha ok just rambled about how bad the gp test was so i shall not repeat it here =] btw, the answer was val (i think).
YAAAAAAAY! I got the dsta scholarship!! *beambeam* super happy about it...but to continue with the scholarship next year, i'll have to get at least a B for all my subjects and at least a B3 for GP in promos. eeks. how on earth am i to do that, with rj chem being rj chem, and physics well, just being physics? urgh. shall work hard =]
went out with sixuan and zhini after the test to holland v for dinner...had a wonderful time chatting and catching up. *beam* then zhini went home and sixuan and i went to nydc for dessert. where we met so many people, yihan, emilia, mag, carol and weiqi *grin* had a yummy yummy Jedi Mudster mudpie. gosh it was fantastic. proceeded to spend the rest of the time chatting our hearts out again. we should do this on a more frequent basis, really.

oh man....gp common test tomorrow...how unprepared am i? totally. argh sheesh.
yay managed to get the chorale blog up the past weekend...considering my dismal grasp of html, i'm just happy that it's safely up. *grinses* i've really got to get down to putting in the comments section, then again, there's always the tagboard...ah well. one day. like after common test. gp common test that is.
i'm so so so soooo behind in all my tutorials, and lectures too. somehow i just can't find the time to sit down and look through all my past lecture notes and digest them. life's just this whirl of activities, and all the activities have absolutely nothing to do with schoolwork. it's quite worrying, really. sighs. i guess i should be happy then that SRP camp has been cancelled then, so that we can all go home everyday after spending 2/3 of our hols in the labs. urgh. revision. common tests. time. all these are taboo words to me now. mention them to me, and i'll.....well. it wouldn't be very nice to say what i would do to you here *evil laugh*
okies. got to get back to getting pw proposal done. we haven't submitted a single draft! argh! =[

oh gosh. this is freaky. my pac net account just forwarded an attachment of my sec 4 social studies essay on switzerland to my yahoo account! without me doing anything! haha i think the freakier thing after reading my essay through would be how much more eloquent i was in sec 4 in writing essays *sheepish* my writing's just doing downhill sighs.

hmm. i'm not sure what to do, what i can do. it's drifting further and further away, and i don't know what i can do to bring it back. perhaps to let it drift, to let it go, for after all, it never was near, but sometimes, you just don't want to and can't bear to. Then again, Vous ne pouvez pas lib�rer quelqu'un que vous avez jamais vraiment eu, et si vous les aviez vous ne devriez pas les lib�rer. argh. does it sound purposefully cryptic? it isn't meant to be..after all i don't have ad's talent for making something sound like that *grinses* but heck. chinese's turning my brain to mush, i can't help it if what i write here doesn't make sense.
*
bio lect was....sheesh. i can't find any words to describe it. i think the whole LT heard me laughing so loudly, it was so embarrassing *grinses* but it really was so hard to control my laughter =] the lecturer was just too funny to not laugh...it's unfortunate that i didn't manage to understand anything at all in the midst of all the entertainment =] AND i finally realise why everyone says JC work is more of independent learning sighs.
*
oh and we had screening of our recorded concert after school today eeks. i just tried my best to ignore my face on the screen...it's just painful to look at myself on video sheesh. but it was quite fun watching the rest, since during the concert we couldn't look around at all. the tenors are all really active on stage heh..i mean, you could see the whole block of tenors moving to the music and their expressions too. haha we all looked stoned in comparison *grinses*

sigh. loads and loads of tutorials to catch up and revision to do. aidez-moi s'il vous plait! =]

concert!
yay....we just had our choir concert, and what fun it was! though in my opinion, we sang too little stuff..only like a third of what we knewm but time constraints i guess. oh my love was beautiful as usual, especially with edward on the violin. we weren't supposed to look at the violinist and celloist, but i just couldn't resist sneaking a peak or two over at them =] and anyway, hearing them and seeing them play inspires me to sing with even more feeling, so =] we were too fast and too sharp for some songs though, the poor sops had so much toruble reaching high A of mate saule but audience probably didn't notice, which was good =] krishna and reginald's singing was just beautiful as usual, as so were fringe and punch =] (i was hiding behind the curtains throughout their performances heh)
ad came to the concert!!! *beam* (while i knew that already since i was the one who sold her the ticket, but she came! *beam*) sighs. miss her loads. had so much fun running around the concourse and lt area and taking photos with all the choir people...with ad being my personal professional photographer...i'm addicted to photo-taking, just like in sec 4. =] oh and we had so much fun linking hands and trooping around like that, freaking certain people out with that *laugh* so fun! =]

movie!
just got home from X-men II with adeline! *beams*
gosh it was so fun seeing her after like, for so long. haven't really spoken to her since she left RJ, and even before that, we didn't really have much time to talk to each other. sighs. i really miss the days when ad, val, sunny and i would troop down to orchard between house practices or ccas (and coming back late for those...i still remember how i ran all the way back for debate after lunch in orchard) and basically just perpetually scouting around for new places to eat. LIPS, cafe cartel, turkish ice-cream, and that health food restaurant thingee (i can't remember what it's called, but its food is actually just junk food disguised), nooch, sighs. it was so so fun. and movies! well going out with ad today just relived it all over again. i miss the posh food people of 412 =] i've yet to find a posh food group in RJ. then again, there's not much point in forming one right? there's holland v. and holland v. and holland v. what an...adventure =]
oh yes, the movie =] it was soo soo cool! effects were great and well, it was 2 hours 15 minutes long! i just adore long shows, cos we get to sit in the cinema for a long long time. MUST must catch it if you all haven't..it rocks. oh and met sixuan's class at plaza sing too =] show ended at 10 plus, ad and i sat around talking and catching up for another 45 minutes or so, so when i left orchard it was like 11pm. eeks. but it was great. =]
oh so caught up in the euphoria of the movie that i almost forgot about the disastrous bio test. *grinses* well, it was bad...and unexpected considering cell bio was less than 1/4 of the whole test, but i guess the kind of tests RJ dishes out has me a little numbed to its effects already. when i received the paper, i was like: "what the...waterbottle??!" (haha project work group's inside joke) but well. just scribbled as much as i could in that 50 minutes. sheesh. first they give us a ridiculously difficult paper. then they don't give us much on cell bio. then they give us 50 minutes instead of 70 or 80 minutes.
haha i have choir from 9-1pm tomorrow...and i have to finish all my tutorials and revise for math lect test. i'm soooo excited. (please notice serene dripping with sarcasm, won't you?)
+ serene @ 12:59 AM
* [ serene ] r e m e m b e r s again * 12:59 AM
haha lectures were quite fun today..though i'm feeling a little guilty for displacing myself from the class, and sitting with other classes instead. eeks. sat with serene for maths lect, and whined with her about how supremely difficult and irritating trigo is. oh it was like the good old days in primary school all over again, with both of us and our never-ending complaints. *grinses* chem lect was fun too, sitting with val and kai, and right under the nose of the extremely interesting and fascinating chem lecturer. gosh she's just so funny and entertaining...well, the chem stuff didn't really get into my head, but her jokes sure did =]
darn. bio test tomorrow. and only on my first cursory reading of the notes totalling up to more than 100 pages. how dead am i.

was feeling terrible during the whole of bio lect today.

La confusion. Ce n��tait jamais de cette fa�on, et je n�avais jamais �t� de ce fa�on, ainsi, je sais pas ce que faire . Il me fait heureux en �tant ici, en entendant sa voix, en voyant son visage.

*grinses* singyong, you really really DO sing sop! gosh, and very well too, after hearing you today. haha what fun =]
had chorale the whole of today, cos our concert is coming in like, urm, 7 days. actually, we're not that well-prepared, but we're prepared...and i don't think it's going to be a problem having concert rehearsed in a week. can't wait for it =]
*
eeks. i'm so going to flunk my chem AND bio. chemical bonding will be the bane of my life. it's going to kill me someday.
*
sigh. i do wish i could get out of this limbo between happiness and depression period. well it's not really depression anyway, just sometimes you just suddenly feel sad. et tu sais que n'importe quoi tu fais, rien ne travaille et rien ne se produit, et plus vous essayez, plus il devient plus mauvais, ainsi vous retraite. i'll do just that.

YESSSS!!!
we got gold for syf, AND most importantly, we got into the finals!!!! gosh, i'm totally ecstatic now, totally! started squealing after GP when i called jingjing and found out this super good news!!! *beams* gosh..this is great..and the performance was such a great experience...it was quite scary but i finally got what mr toh was saying about expressing and all, finally felt the whole music and all that. totally beautiful. =]

SYF!!!
gosh. syf's tomorrow. all those weeks and months of practice just for tomorrow. and we'll know the results almost immediately at the end of the year. i really really hope we manage to not only get the gold, but also get selected for central judging. *beam* then again, who wouldn't hope for that right? =]
*
happened to see wangning today, who told me about debate auditions this wed. apparently they're making team selections this wed. *sniff* my heart really wants to go, but i know it's impossible, not only because i haven't gone for practices at all, and the fact that i haven't debated for about one year, but also because i won't be able to train for debate anyway. so i guess it's officially over. not that it wasn't, but still, now it really really really is.
*
urgh. we shall not dwell on the past, but the future, yes, choir =] choir was a little dead today though, i felt we didn't sound as good as we usually do, but perhaps that's cos pple are saving their voices for tomorrow. haha, i'm so glad my nice physics teacher is allowing me to take the physics test on wed instead of tomorrow. i mean, it's not really gonna make a difference to my confirmed-flunked grades, but what the heck. it's the thought that counts. *grinses*
+ serene @ 10:07 PM

syf's in 3 days! can't wait for it...though it's worrying when 3 days before syf, and your conductor still isn't pleased with the tone of the song, or the expressions (or rather the lack of expressions) in our singing. eeks. then again, i personally felt we sounded quite good at vch yesterday night, when we went for the rehearsal. =]
oh yes. and i just found out how we're expected to go back immediately after syf, which also means poor me won't get to miss my physics test and take it the next day, which means that i'm going to flunk it since i haven't studied for it and am not gonna have much time to study for it due to practices, which means yay..another physics test down the drain. *grin* i wonder why i'm still smiling..must be too frequent an occurence already =]
*
talking to sunny while dressing up for syf yesterday was fun *grinses* poor sunny is always my unsuspecting target *laugh* though i think she likes being that! =]

je t'adore avec mon c�ur, mon espirit, mon tout,

yay...met jennie on the bus today, so surreal man! *beam* anyways...sighs. so happy to see her, can't wait for tomorrow's 412 gathering (IF i manage to find the way to kai's house sheesh).
i don't like this particular phase i'm going through...one moment i could be perfectly happy, and a moment later, i feel utterly unaccomplished, useless and *insert words for "nothing"*. and this feeling just starts from the pit of the stomach and worms its way up right to the heart, unless it constricts just so painfully that your breath just catches and you can't breathe properly. sounds like something out of love at first sight right? i wish. more like pain with darned fright or something.
well. at least there's choir to cheer me up tomorrow. and of course, the 412 peeps. talking to jennie today made me realise how much i miss the whole 412 environment all over again. and it's been 5 months. you'd have thought things have changed since then.
