Now i kind of know how Mr Toh feels whenever he has to remind someone to sing a certain part and he goes 'I'm one person and i have to remember each person do which part for the whole choir and i got so many choirs leh.'

Anyway just had RCS prac and it was like as if our standard went up like a million notches after saturday's performance!! Ah so promising i hope we're able to further improve and make music and everything then zomg i think i'll cry on stage LOL. Tragically i'm not feeling very excited right now that we're leaving tomorrow. Oops, well it's more like later tonight. I think i'm still quite angry and pissed at some people but nevermind I'll get over it soon. Haha. Going to airport at 9.30pm. Luckily it's a night flight then in the day i can like do last minute packing and like totally buy whatever i might lack or throw in things which i may have forgotten earlier on. Xian this year's packing rather last minute. Coz parents were like overseas before that, and rather busy with everything else that's been going on. Parents aren't too happy with me right now. But oh wellz, things will heal with time haha.

Knowing that our vocal cords are a pair of muscles, is it then possible to actually tear them? I've heard of people who sing till they bleed but that's because it's using completely wrong technique. What if it's correct technique but like continuous daily usage of the vocal cords? I think i can honestly say that i've never sung like so much ever in my life. I feel like i'm singing either for choir, caroling, or RCS like nearly everyday of my life after promos haha. Not complaining, just wondering if my vocal cords will fail me o.O Okay they better not i'll just like cry my eyeballs out, especially not at this point in time. =)

Anyway i conclude coffee truly can make me happy =) Food, or anything that stimulates the taste buds in a nice way can really perk me up haha. K i love coffee although it's technically bad for the voice but whatever if i need it i need it. Woot.

OKAYS i think i'm going to stop here and go and sleep soon. Anyway, probably last blog post before i go. See you all on like, um, 11th evening 6.30pm when i land back in Singapore. Byeeee!!

Yo!! -is rather tired-

I conclude that i really can be moved enough by music to cry. Yesterday RCS performed at St Anthony's Canossian School's chapel. Dunman sec and SAC themselves also performed. Anyway so like we practiced the whole afternoon in their canteen, then went to the chapel to sing at 545 and well, i personally thought we sung better than expected xD. Anyway so then it was SAC and i love their trebles =D. Eh wait, they're all trebles. I mean, i love their sops. =D They were good and goosebumpy =))

Anyway then it was dunman sec, and they sang o magnum which RV did as well as cantate domino which was zzzzooommmgggg quite good. Well that's where i was all goosebumpy then suddenly i realised that a tear escaped my eyes. But it was quite um half-disappointing that the ending of the song wasn't as spectacular as the start then couldn't cry again =( Anyway haha good job dunman! I'm sure you guys will do very well at the bratislava competition this december =)

RV's concert today was gooood. It was quite a pity that we were not-that-early then our seats were below the circle seats so the sound was all diminished and soft and um well the choir appeared very soft to us =( The combined songs esp nella fantasia sounded like it came from a cd because it was so soothing and soft (to us) and i itched to attempt to turn the volume up LOL but obviously cannot. So anyway i thought that RV did nelly fantasia really well i almost almost teared but think if i sat in front i probably would have la coz the effect would be greater =D

Anyhow congrats RV and SE and good job wheeee. xD

Xianz. 6 days to competition. I'm leaving on tuesday night haha anyone wanna send me offf????? HEEEHEEEE my flight's totally at um... Where ah. -checks- Hmm, air france departing at 1130pm from terminal 1. Hm wonder what time i have to go, probably 2 hours before as usual. Tmr must remember to go j8 and buy last minute stuff like um shampoo. Haha! Xian. My voice is a bit wonky now i think i should cease my ice cream-eating habits and commence my healthy good-for-voice eating habits. And drink about a million liters of water daily. Yay! Sounds like the perfect plan hor.

K i'm bored i go play com game. Byeee!

Wednesday, November 21, 2007

I'm listening to 'stand up for love' by Destiny's Child and wahhhh i really love that song =)

Haha anyway i was super zzz throughout the entire day because i slept at like 1am despite my previous declaration that i was going to sleep early -.- and i had to wake up at 7.50am to go eat breakfast and go for caroling prac. Caroling prac was quite funn and crappy haha anyway the picture taking part was super amusing oh and i think joash looks damn hot with a pink tie. Heehee. And the girls all looked pretty with the scarves tied the way they were tied. Which is good =) Yayyy. Yong Feng is super shuai in his um mercedes taxi driver outfit HAHAHA.

Anyway we trudged to lunch in j8 food court. OH wait pause. Today was an incredibly cool day the weather was just oozing coolness. I like!! And then so we ate lunch at about 2+ and then like, bennett had to leave =( coz he had tuition with his very friendly chemistry teacher =)). Anyway we chit chatted for a long time before fried wenyi and yong feng left and continued chatting and ended up hanging around the foodcourt for 2+ hours until 5pm where joo and i left to go home. Wahaha. I think royce and geoffrey left as well. Anyway gossip sessions are always fun xD. Wheee haha i had a happy afternoon.

I came home and had a nap which oozed niceness all over and got abruptly woken up for dinner. Woot had dinner and then here i am blogging. Yayyy wednesday turned out to be a nice day. Anyway tmr i'm not doing anything so i'm just going to ooze at home. Except evening got RCS bleh. Yaawwwwwwnz.

I think i'm going to play hellgate london now whee xD.

Tuesday, November 20, 2007

Wahahaha i just got up, walked to toilet and on the way paused and thought to myself: "Have i eaten dinner????" then i took about 3 seconds to remember that yes, indeed, i had taken dinner. I conclude that I am becoming old. =( I suffer from severe short-term memory loss.

Have i said this before? I think i suffer from severe short-term memory loss.

So anyway i totally slept like a piece of bak kua and woke up at 11+ this morning. Woot. Ate like rather soggy noodles which daddy bought for me at dunno what time. Thenn. I totally went to shower and dad mum cons and i totally went to coronation plaza. Super funky please. Anyway we actually went there to UOB to open a bank account for me! So applied for a debit card which will totally arrive in 2 weeks' time. I'm so not in Singapore then please -.- So lame. K wubber woot i feel rich.

Yesterday's exchange went very well. Whee i really appreciate all the work and effort that everyone put in to ensure its success. So anyway most exciting moments for me were:

1. When person in the middle of circle asks the person next to me if he likes his neighbours. I could feel my heart failing me when the person said no.

2. When i was about 1 person away from the end of the jagged line and i was going to challenge lois or something to scissors paper stone. Tragically, i lost =(

3. Twirling gayly.

4. Trying to get past joseph without him sticking a sticker on me.

5. Trying not to crash into readon (ew)

Funniest moment of the day was when Clara said to Stacey.

Clara: You know, you look a lot like one of our seniors.. Sandra..
Stacey: Um, she's my sister????

I almost died on the spot AHAAHAHAHAHAHA.

Anyway it was really fun, and i enjoyed the showcase (Mr Toh was zomg i'm going to tease him endlessly muahahaha) and the combined was just as fun. Wahhh i so miss singing in a big choir! The basses were just so o.O it's been a long time that i've heard such rumbling sound. Heehee. And also the power from the trebles and the chance for me to sing softer than i usually do because there are so many tenor loudhailers from RV =) Whee hahaha. The video was really cool, a pity the sound couldn't really work though. Oh well. Hmmmm.....

Ahahaha and i'd like to say THAAAAANKS for the surprise at the end of exchange. i am going to kill Joash okay for making my blood pressure rise when he suddenly came to me and gave me a super worried look and asked me to follow him out. I thought like some dude collapsed and died or something please. Then when i reached the door he suddenly turned around and went 'oh nevermind nevermind' then i was like 'WHAT WHAT I'M SURE EMERGENCY THEN SUDDENLY SAY NEVERMIND!' Then like my brain only took about 10 seconds to realise that they were totally going to spring something on me. So okay joash i am going to kill you. Haha! But thanks everyone for the er stack of bak kua in place of a cake. Really innovative Bennett haha. Pleasant surprise. Thanks everyone for the hamster presents (you all totally bought presents after reading the other post lor which meant it was bought AFTER my birthday hmph hahaha joking la) and the cards. Think this year's birthday must be the most exciting of all my birthdays. Except perhaps the day when i was born. How often do you get to squeeeeze through a hole. xD

I'm really tired still for some reason. I can see my eyebags growing which is terribly terrible because i've never had eyebags before. eeeeeeeeee... ζ€ŽδΉˆεŠž??? Okay i shall go and sleep more. Sleep early tonight. Whee. Lalala xian diao.

I think i go play hellgate la. My character is progressing at a snail's pace. Tata!

-is feeling like the luckiest person on earth-

OMG i've never had a more surprising birthday!

-is breathless and giddy with joy-

My 2 sisters got me a pair of hamsters!! -squeals in delight- They're both male though, so that we won't end up with a million of them. But they're SO adorable!! Omgosh i just wanna like um hug them forever =) They're really cute and small, 3 weeks to 1 month old only. I hope they live long long. I shall take care of them well. Hmph. =)))))

Anyway i had a super nice blackforest cake this morning! And all my loved ones were with me =)) Ahhhhh -is melting- omg k i love my family loads and loads and loads. Then we went to crystal jade at Vivocity for lunch. Hmm the food was a BIT more disappointing though, it doesn't seem as good as the last time we went. But well it was still yummy anyway and i ate until i almost burst like some fugu. Haha! Anyway coz lunch was at 12+ and RCS started at 2pm i was totally late for RCS but heh k.

AAAAAND then at RCS, those twits totally gave me a HUGE surprise! It was break time and Mr Toh was like 'okay breaktime!' then i was just stoning and staring at my scores then Mr Toh suddenly started playing the keyboard and like slow me totally couldn't pick out that he was playing 'Happy Birthday' then until everyone started singing (in tune xD) and i turned around to see Emmy bringing out a cake with a candle. Omg i was super shocked because i didn't know that they knew it was my birthday?? Only Mr Toh knew coz i had to tell him why i cancelled vocal lessons. So anyway we took pictures and cut cake and everything. Omg i totally had 2 cakes in a day !!!!!! -is feeling super overwhelmed still-

AHHHH. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUACKKX~!!!!! Wahahahahahaha.

Okay giddy me is going to bum around and enjoy the last 55 minutes of my birthday! Woot. =))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Monday, November 12, 2007

Okay so after coming home from school i decided i needed to kill something and i turned on Hellgate London and successfully killed some boss and finished a quest in half an hour. -is gleeful-

After which, i went to eat dinner which turned out to be cod fish which i had just ate 2 nights ago, because my parents weren't here to know that we had just cooked it, and hence they decided to cook it. Anyway so whatever. Ate, bathed, and left for esplanade for choral conducting workshop which was totally unplanned. Mr Toh couldn't make it then he asked Geoffrey to find someone to replace him and i was o.O enough to say yes. =) Anyway it was interesting, but um i guess not really what i expected. But oh well.

I'm really very tired now. I shall retreat into my little nest and try to sleep tonight -.- Bye.

Friday, November 09, 2007

Hello everyone! I just had a most wonderful shower it was REALLY nice okay i don't know why but i think because i'm feeling incredibly happy now that's why =) Nothing's going to spoil my mood okay =D

Today was a really great day. Started off with me waking up super grumpily (more or less the only bad part about my day) because i only had a mere EIGHT hours of sleep (who can survive please -rolls eyes-) Ate breakfast blah blah oh and realised to my horror that i had/have a sore throat. GGXX. And so i got into my sister's mini and my aunty drove me to Seah road in town area (near beach road) to the MINT toy museum. Well, it was class learning journey day!!

I completely forgot about it until my friend asked me last night if i was going and i was like 'huh when is it' then like 'tomorrow!!!!' then like 'WHAAAAAT????'. Luckily it was predicted to end by 1-2pm so caroling wouldn't be affected. Anyway, the museum is really quite interesting you know. =) All the toys of cartoons series and all and seeing the variations of the same product being made from different countries, it really does speak a lot about the country which produces the toy, with regards to detailing, how much they know of the particular toy they make, and even politics. (Apparently Britain didn't want to be same as US so they made their Mickey mouse with teeth to distinguish their toys from those made in US when mickey mouse never had teeth in the first place) Haha so anyway we ended the tour at around 12pm. And well as coincidence and impeccable timing would have it, my sister happened to have to go to SMU at 12pm. And so, i asked my aunty to come over to find me and we ate lunch at some chicken rice place then she fetched me home.

When i was reaching home which was like 12.50pm Yong Feng called me to announce that he was lost. xD. Anyway he apparently completely missed the small road into my house and ended up at 140+ Coronation road. So anyway i asked my aunty to go and find him and well we found him and then gave him a lift to my house!! Where he realised that he was in fact, 1 hour early because he got the timing wrong. Haha! It's okay =) I enjoyed your company for that 1 hour while we waited for -cough- the others to come who -cough- arrived oh-so-punctually. xD. oh, -cough-. K anyway we finally started singing at i think 2.45pm? Yes, we're all punctual people =) hahahahahahaha. Ok i shall stop my suanning. Ohh i think the first song we did, um, Do you hear what i hear, is really nice. It's quite unison-ish, at least for the guys, but it has got quite nice parts. We did geoffrey's Jingle Bells which was quite o.O at the start because of the super non-usual melody and interpretation but after a while finally got the hang of it and it's interesting. We just have to get used to it and make our rhythm more accurate. It has potential! Well lastly was The christmas song, and it's really nice! i didn't know it was so nice because for some reason the RV recording has some balance problem i think.. Like the tenors are too loud or something. Well coz the sop's melody is quite low for them so naturally they'll be softer, and tenor in high range is naturally louder. So k must sing softer =D. Anyway fitting the solo notes into the chords with all the basses around me is also really nice. Woot. Especially the first note for 'chest' is just so juicy. K i love basses.

And and the evening half-hour walk to island creamery was so beautiful! The sky was super nice and it was just rather peaceful and calm and everyone was like chatting to each other quietly and just strolling along. The occasional teasing Isaac for killing all the grass.. And haha obviously the prize at the end of the walk =) Somehow i think it has helped my sore throat a bit haha. I should eat ice cream if i have sore throat next time xD. (Excuses to eat ice cream heh). Well yes and Val is super funny. It's so funny to see her get so excited at cute guys and um ya Val you should totally go to island creamery more often =) Woot. Lalala.

Kk happy me is going to eat dinner now because it's 8.20pm and dinner's ready. See you all next monday lalala. Yay!

OH i heard something on the radio today that was super spastic. It went something along the lines of:

'In a shocking survey, it is found that 50% of people are below the average intelligence level!'

I totally burst out laughing la it was super funny (okay don't roll your eyes) i mean like duh it's the AVERAGE level so obviously 50% is below that and 50% is above that.

Ok anyway a few days ago i went with my brother to Sim Lim square and he bought a new computer because he had just bought Hellgate London and so wanted a new computer to play the game on (he's some rich freak okay.... -rolls eyes-). Anyway, then he asked me whether i wanted to play the game then i was like 'orh' so he happily bought me one copy (told you he's rich) and so i went to try the game just now. And my noob com kept beeping and beeping because it overheats or something so i had to go change the fan speed and beep temperature so hopefully it doesn't beep anymore =)

Anyway the game is quite fun it's a lot like Diablo 2 and WoW, a combination of both la. Yep, and i'm not sure if $60 is expensive or not because i never actually buy computer games myself (they're always either hand-me-downs or my brother buys them for me xD) But okay if you're really free and bored and have a lot of time (since it's holidays now) then you can go and get it. Heehee. I haven't played computer game in like ages. At least not this year man. Been so busy.

-3 mins later- Woot i just changed my sister's toilet's light bulb for her. -is proud of my supreme lightbulb-changing skill-

Ok oops it's time for online mass convo. See all the carolers tomorrow!! =)

Wednesday, November 07, 2007

Hello my dears! After singing continuously for um, 2 days, i kind of had no voice today. Thankfully i managed to find it by the time Mr Toh came haha then managed to scream out my Fs. I shall rest my voice until Sat where i'll have to sing, oh, bass (phew). HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I like singing bass, less effort so my tone doesn't break into the christopher sound -rolls eyes-

K ANYWAY. I have lost the jelly beans craze =( Which is good i suspect it caused my whole system to be a bit weird with all that excess sugar. Maybe that's why i'm more tired now haha but don't think so. I'll eat just a few every day and maybe the jar will last 1 whole year after all (ya right.)

I am quite bored. i think i will go and read my book now xD. It's really exciting.

Saturday, November 03, 2007

Wheee i love bass and i love basses. I think they really give the foundation to the whole sound and makes it all grounded and non-floaty and though their parts can be boring at times, but it's so essential to keep the column of sound there. Ah, so okay everybody should express thanks to basses. xD.

Bleh i didn't sleep well at all last night -.- Woke up like an hour before my alarm clock was supposed to ring at 9.30am. Haiz. Okay bad me shouldn't worry so much about things and try to sleep. It's a very sad vicious cycle coz stress right? Then should sleep in the night then next day can think clearly, but the mind doesn't want to rest so next day ggxx cannot think. -rolls eyes- My brain is clearly spastic.

I am SO happy PW is finally over!!!!!!!!! After handing up I&R this morning i just had this feeling of closure and like 'ah...' feeling then i was super happy =) For a few moments until my headache came back. Realise i get headaches if my body didn't sleep well, but i don't get headaches if i have little sleep but my sleep was a good sleep.

K my headache is getting quite bad coz my nose bridge is starting to hurt already. Bleh. I should go and sleep hor. Yes yes, bad boy.

Okok goodnight everyone!! =)
