Heyzz! belated merry christmas! Hmmmz... I guess this year's Christmas eve was the best i had ever had in my life... Last year was best Christmas day... haha...
Joel's House
This year Joel invited me and a group of friends to his house to celebrate Christmas again! =) As usual the food was great and also I was laughing like crazy again. Got to met a few of my friends whom I had not met for a looonnnnngggg time. Wow! Great to see them again. Jason Tang and Nikki always amuse me with their bitching and jokes whenever I am with them. They never fail to make me laugh till my stomach hurts. Met Ching Si too, someone I have not met ever since the East Coast BBQ gathering thingy... Things changed. Time passes so quickly and here we are in 2004 waiting for 2005 to come... sigh... Anyway, there was the usual singing of carols. I only sang the 12 days of Christmas with Joel and family before taking my leave.
Mid-Night Mass
Rushed down to Nativity Church immediately from Joel's house to catch the Christmas Service, "Hear the Joyous News". Wasn't feeling good when i was in the bus. Tight chest, shallow breathing and what have you. I just felt so uncomfortable and of course, rather nervous and shaky. I wonder why... But the feeling left me when i was at church, listening to the choir sing and all. I feel so safe and happy when i am in the house of God. =) Ah... Happiness... The combined choir sang well on that night. Actually, I thought i would be hearing the choir sing by myself outside the church. But Clement came for the Midnight mass and he decided to stay outside the church with me throughout the service. Hiakz... Glad that he came, if not I would have been lonely and not only that, i would not have attended the Mid night mass. Hmmmz... Its my first time attending the Mid night mass and the feeling was great. Although Clement and I were talking away throughout the course of the mass (oops... haha =x), the atmosphere was alright (Because of the singing i guess... haha). It has been a long time since i attended mass (the last time i went was when i am singing with the combine choir for easter vigil) and its great to attend mass after a long break from it.
Christmas Day
Sigh... Christmas isn't Christmas till it happens in your heart...
This is so true. I didn't have the Christmas feeling this year... Its more like a Mother's birthday thing than a Christmas day... Went to Paul's house for awhile to release some boredom but still like that... haha... Haizz.... as I grow older, i begin to lose the christmasy feeling. Although there was gift exchange with my friends, card sending as usual, but its still like that... Normal. Christmas marks the 1 week count down to school reopen. Sianness... Its gonna be a tiring 2005 for me. The tension will definitely be great and I am definitely going to be stressed out like nobody's business. Haiz...
God work miracles. I believe in it... do you?
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7
May I have a new beginning next year. May everyone have a blessed 2005...

Christmas Eve is here!
Halo people! Okay... fine... i've been quite lazy these few days... Anyway, Christmas day is tomorrow!! yippee! Looking forward to tonight though. Will be going to Joel's house later and will rush down to Nativity for their "Hear the Joyous News!" at 11pm.
I was at Junction 8 just now with my friend and we sort of met this group of noisy girls giggling and talking about chrisy poo touching them... wanting to kiss sly under the mistletoe and what sueing so and so for sexual arrestment and what not. They are just irritating. My friend was developing 100+ photo and some machine which develops digital photos... And it is sought of our fault for not telling them that we will be taking a long time because we are developing 100+ photographs from one pathetic machine. But they called us names and started bitching us when my friend and I walked away... how unintelligent, unglamarous and dumb. Fancy calling people names just because they had to wait for 30 minutes. Okay, so my friend should not have said "too bad we were here first" but they should just take it in their stride and keep quiet what. Why must call us names... as if it will help with the situation. If they don't want to wait, then they should ask us how long we are going to take or something, but noooooooooooooo... they were there making so much noise, talking at the top of their voice about those Singapore Idols. I guess those girls did not bathe for quite a few days since their precious chrisy poo touched them... cannot wash the essence of his touch away... just kidding... Anyway, the aunty at the shop came out and asked them to keep their voices down, how exciting... They are lucky that I am not in a bitchy mood, if not... hmmmz... no one can tell what i will do... (actually nothing much larz... just talk back lorz...) but... yea... how irritating...
Hmmmz... Christmas is coming, which means school will reopen soon... Oh man... dreading for that day to come. As you can see, my English standard is deproving like crazy. I wonder why... hmmmmz... Yea, My mum's birthday is tomorrow. Which reminds me, I havent got her a present yet... haha... oops =x. Maybe I will sneak out tomorrow and buy her something. A cake maybe... Sigh... A levels coming in 11 months time... stressed...

What a day!
Wow! What a fun day I had yesterday!
MJChoir went to record our school song yesterday at a big recording studio located at a very ulu and secluded area. It's quite an enjoyable experience, being able to put on that headphone and sing in that fish tank like room. It was really cool. The recording took quite long because we tried singing together as a whole choir first, then started to record section by section. Anyway, I was shivering throughout the recording process because it was raining outside and the air con was like making the whole place sooooooooooooo cold.
Surprisingly, Montfort had their End of year bash cum Sec 4 farewell party yesterday. Hmmmz... I am quite happy to be able to see my sec 4 juniors after their long break from their Os. I was helping out at the kitchen anyway... My first time cutting up a watermelon and a honeydew. Messy yet fun. I heard many things about their Amusing race in the morning. A childish act and the lack of foresight i would say. I am so angry to hear that the committee is not very united after all. Two station masters. Both hated each other. One of them is not familiar in getting himself around Singapore. Because the other was being made fun of having to be station master with this bloke who doesn't know how to go Orchard road even, he left him behind, making this poor bloke having to find his way around. THAT IS SO CHILDISH! If something happens to this guy, the teachers will get into deep trouble. Why can't he even think of the consequences of such an act? He is already secondary 3 moving on to secondary 4 and here he is, trying to get himself into trouble, trying to stop people from poking fun at him by getting rid of this guy who doesn't even know how to leave hougang by a train. What can I say? Stubborness! I've shouted and scolded this group of people for for God knows how many times and here they are continuing with all this stupid things. Yes, I know that the guy (By the way the S____ C_____ of the choir) is not a likeable person in nature and all but at least they have to work together for God's sake! Without a united committee, how can the next batch of juniors taking up posts learn from them? I really wonder. There will be major changes to the choir and without a strong committee to assist the teachers, how can the choir still stand together and strive? Sigh... What can I do to help them if they don't help themselves? Oh whatever... I'll let God decide on the fate of the choir... praying hard everyday...

I wonder... hmmmz...
These few days, I have been thinking back about the past, the times I had in my secondary school lifel. I guess those memories will never fade away as I move on in life. Today is the day when my choir committee received sad news 2 years back. I guess it was very sad and emotional to learn that Mr Yong is leaving us then. sigh... Whatever it is, it is now part of the past and there is nothing we can do about it.
I had my choir meeting in school today. It was definitely fun... Had never laughed so much for the past months. Anyway, I have motivated myself to start doing my holiday assignment because I want to enjoy my Christmas... Haha... So yea, it's gonna be fun tomorrow. MJ choir will be having our "choral clinic" (a cover-up name) and it will definitely be fun. I hope... hmmmmzz....

Just another day
Heyz heyz!
Wow... I've been extremely lazy for the past few days. Eat, sleep, read, watch TV. My holiday assignments are still nicely placed in my file, waiting for me to touch them and finish them. Sigh... I am just so lazy to start doing my homework.
Have been re-reading Harry Potter lately. It is just so exciting even though I have read it before.
Happy Fish (Kuai Le Yu).
For those who watch Xi Ling Men 2 (that 7pm show on Channel 8), you might understand what I am referring to. Hmmmmz... I find the situation the Montfort Chorale is facing, similar to Kuai Le Yu (The restaurant which sells the very famous fish and chips in the show).
Before da ma died, the restaurant is still prospering, doing quite well in fact. This is so similar to my batch of seniors whom I truly respect. Although we were only a 20 strong choir when i was in sec 1, the choir was actually doing very well. At that time, Mrs Paula Lee(The most feared conductress) was the choir mistress and my seniors knows how to handle her screamings and sarcasm quite well. So our relationship with our conductress then, was good too! We also had bonding sessions everytime after choir practice and we really had a choir room which we can truly own it. I guess, a good relationship between conductor and choir and a choir with its members bonded together like a family is important helping a choir to do well in whatever they want to do. And that's why, i guess at that time, we were doing quite well. I was one out of the 4 miserable new sec 1 members then.
When I was in Sec 2, my seniors left. Those sec 3s who were in choir quit because they did not like Mrs Lee. So, its left with the four sec 2 members and big bunch of sec 1 members who were conscripted into choir. This phase is similar to that when Jiaxi (That b***** daughter of da ma) took over the restaurant for the first time after Da Ma's death. The choir was extremely disorientated. We can't harmonise properly and we ended up singing songs with one part. Our first SYF took place that year and we achieved a COP. It was so expected. Most of the people (maybe everyone) dislike Mrs Lee because she is always screaming and never admits that she is wrong. But i guess she is a nice lady outside choir time. Knowing that the sec 1 members did not like choir very much, attendance was bad. I shan't elaborate... it was a total disaster.
Near the end of 2001, my sec 2 year, Mr Yong entered the choir. With him taking over the choir, we see light and a bright future a head. This third phase is similar to that when Yaxi and Meili (daughter-in-laws of the Luo family) helped out and take charge in the restaurant. The choir learnt new stuff and started from scratch. I was extremely happy and was always looking forward to choir practices. It's like the only thing that can make me feel happy even though i am suffering from a bad day. I totally enjoyed myself through choir practice and Mr Yong became not just our conductor, but also, our friend. He was very friendly, kind and is always smiling. He hardly scolds us (Okay... maybe once because we made him extremely angry. But that's not the point). Also, he has many plans for the choir and I can see his passion to teach us. The relationship between choir and conductor was there... a good friendship. At that time, the committee had tried their best to create a bond between each choir member. We would always have a sing along session in the bus as we were on our way home. Everyone would just sing along and harmonise together on the bus. The teachers were happy. The members were happy. The committee were happy. And indeed, we did show improvements in our standard. However, at the end of that year, Mr Ng came in and took over.
This marks the fourth phase... Jiaxi with support from Gao Zhi An (That disgusting psycho who goes around abusing women) took over the restaurant again. I am not saying that Mr Ng is not good in anyway. No! Mr Ng is indeed a man with knowlege and he knows what he is doing and all. But when he took over, I guess the choir did not accept him fully... and until now... the present... the choir seems to be in a pathetic state... What was once a 40 strong choir has been reduced to a 20 ++ strong choir (Supposedly to be 35, however, some souls choose to absent themselves for God knows what reasons). They are now strugglins with the Set piece and at the rate that they are going... I don't know. Sigh...
This leaves me to a sad conclusion that... If an organisation is not united, if they are not willing to accept changes and hope for the better... then, don't expect any good outcome at the end of it. Anyway, I guess I am thinking alot. But, such things just dawn on me when i am just staring blankly into space. Time flies. Things change. We can't live in a world of yesterday to expect great things in future. Sigh... Although i love and enjoyed myself in Meridian, I still wish I could go back to the past, where all my happy memories resides...

Tiring Day
Hello people!
Wow, at last, lessons for the second semester had ended! Phewy! Today's chemistry was quite enriching but the lecturer drag on for like another 40 minutes, so its like total suffering. But its no doubt helpful for the test next year.
Went to Montfort this morning. Their attendance is totally pathetic because only 17 out of 35 members came for practice. I wonder how they are going to get at least a bronze for SYF if their attitude continues to be the "YAY! COP FOR NEXT YEAR!" or "AIYA CONFIRM COP ONE LAR!". How irritating. I wish I could just stand in front of them to scold them. hmmmz... At least the sec 3s are not a let down in terms of attitude. But the lower sec should be given a wake up call! They don't even know what SYF means to the school, teachers, seniors and most of all, to them. They should at least do themselves proud by achieving something from their CCA on not just while their time away and achieve nothing. I believe a CCA is not just a compulsory activity that you must take part in, but it is a chance to let you explore your talents and learn something out of it. SYF... I always hoped that the Montfort Chorale could get at least a bronze last year. I know we are capable of doing it. But things don't always happen the way you want it to happen. At least I have taken that in my stride and I am trying my best to go back for their practices to help them achieve something next year. Sign... I guess its another COP year if they continue with this attitude.
Sunset.
I love that song. Its beautiful. The lyrics are rather relaxing and the JC version is quite easy to sing. Mr Kwei has told us how to attack the piece and how to sing out the essence of the song. Although the secondary school version is similar to that of the JC version, I guess Montfort will have a hard time conquering that piece because of the beats and the way they potray songs. Haha... Not that I want to say them or anything, but shouting songs suits them the best. They seem to be unable to do slow, relaxing songs. But if there's a will, there's a way. I will make sure they can get it right. Since its the holidays, I will have time to go back for their practices! and of course I need to study. The warning from my lecturers are scaring me. A levels next year. Time will just pass so quickly and its gonna be tough.
Anyway, saya kita balik ruma... haha... ignore me... trying to be lame... Shall blog the next time... goodie bye

Another day...
Alright... another day of school. How tiring and energy consuming. The biology department rocks!! haha... Our lecturers always let us off so early and they are always there for us when we needed them. Yea!! Just hope that this week will end soon because I am beginning to get sick of having double lecture periods everyday. It can kill both the mind and the soul alright.
Went to Compass Point to get Jing Yi's birthday present. Wow, I bought him a pair of slippers from OP which costs 23 bucks... hmmmz... Its nice! I like it very much... but Mum might nag larz... haha... Its ok... Preparing to make Christmas presents this year. Another hand made thing which is cheap and i guess meaningful? haha... I make them with love, patience and yada yada yada... what crap... But its gonna be nice... I hope...
Life is full of ups and downs. A bad childhood can cause a great impact in how you are gonna lead your life in future. A nasty situation can cause a great impact in you and might result in making your life miserable as days past. I wonder, how can a problem like this be solved? Seeing a psychiatrist? Taking medicine? Facing these fears alone? I don't know... Sometimes, things might get so out of hand that you might get hurt both physically and mentally. I, for that matter, will break down totally and go mad if I don't seek help. God has spoken to me. I know what to do. But, its difficult with a mind that is very unexpected. One moment you may be alright, but the next moment, you may just feel down, moody etc. I know what I want to do in future. I guess I am living in fear each day but it's no point. I am the cause of such misery and I should put an end to it. But how am I going to do it if I don't have a strong mind? God is the answer to this question.
Haha... anyway, got our SYF set piece. It is great! Hope Montfort can do it well... Alright, shall end hear... mother nagging...

Blog awoken from deep sleep... hahazz
Hello! hello hello hello (slowly echoing away)
Haha... i know it has been a loooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg time since i blogged so here i am, blogging a new entry. Wonders if anyone will ever bother visiting my blog again but here it goes.
Time has passed so quickly. Through this 9 months of my life ever since I left my blog, many things had happened to me - good, bad, whatever.
I entered into a whole new world after being extinct from the education system for 3 months. Being able to experience the life of a Junior College student is incredible. Life has took a drastic change for me. I began to think about things from a different perspective and i began to learn new stuff from my choir. The lecture tutorial system was quite difficult to adapt at first, but it takes time for me to get used to this new system and learn what I want to learn.
JC education is definitely a great big step away from what we learn in secondary school. I am taking Biology, Chemistry and Maths C as my subject here in MJC. Biology used to be: respiration involves mitochondria which produces ATP as a source of energy. Now... Biology is: Respiration involves 3 processes, glycolysis, kreb's cycle and oxidative phosphorylation coupled with the electron transport chain. Chemistry used to be: a covalent bond is formed when 2 or more atoms of non-metallic elements share their electrons to form a stable octet configuration. Now chemsitry is: a covalent bond is the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the shared electron pair and the postively charged nuclei of each constituent atom. Fun yet challenging. Being able to score a CCD for my promotional exams really makes me feel happy. But there is more to come.
Through this year, I had the chance to perform in concerts which I do not get to do so in the past. First it was La Risonanza, MJC choir own solo concert at VCH. It was successful but due to a small mistake, my choral conductor was mad in the end. Secondly, Montpressivo, Montfort Chorale's first solo concert at CHIJMES hall. It was also successful and I was their guest conductor. I am so proud of them, being through all the hard times and practices and being able to produce such results on their concert day. Mr Yong came too! but he came secretly because he did not want the choir to crowd around him (as usual) and make Mr Ng feel embarass. Now, I am promoted to the bass SL for MJ choir. I feel quite awkward at first, but nevertheless, we shall see the outcome...
Haha... i know it has been a loooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg time since i blogged so here i am, blogging a new entry. Wonders if anyone will ever bother visiting my blog again but here it goes.
Time has passed so quickly. Through this 9 months of my life ever since I left my blog, many things had happened to me - good, bad, whatever.

The day is coming... It's getting near...
I don't know why i am feeling so nervous and scared about my results. Yesterday when I was in school, many teachers came to talk to me, asking me where i want to go after my getting my results. For the past few days i had been studying too, Biology and Chemistry. Reading through the facts and information in the guidebooks that i have bought for these subjects made me think twice about whether i want to go to a JC. It looks difficult and the pressure i will receive will be big. But I guess i will still go to a JC, because it's what I want and I really like the JC style (Whateva it is... haha). For the past 2 weeks, my purpose of going back to school was not only for choir practices but for studying too. While the band is having their sectionals at the gallery, I was there, pulling my hair and trying to figure out what the book is trying to tell me. For Chemistry, the only topic I don't understand so far is the electronic structure of an atom, the electron energy or whatever it is. For Biology, everything seems fine for me except for the terms prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
I just can't wait for Judgement Day to arrive. I am dying to know my results! Badly! Who isn't anyway? Mrs Choy said," There are 3 groups of people which you will see on the day when you collect your results. Group 1: Kancheong, nervous scared. Group 2: Bochap, nothing affects them even if they do badly. Group 3: You dun even see them there because they can't be bothered to come and collect their results." Hmmmmz... Interesting... Anyway, praying hard that I will do well. Hope that I won't cry on that day... hahaha...
The band will be performing tomorrow at BLK 541 for some social thingy. Will be there... haha (Extra me...) All the best people for your results...
"That day is coming... So worried for all of you..."

Heliuz! Happy Chinese New Year to everyone who reads my blog! =D Hmmmmz... This year's CNY seems to be better than last year's even though if only realised that CNY was coming 1 week before... haha... and I hoped that you guys will have a great time during the Chinese New Year period… heez… anyway, here it goes.
Chinese New Year Eve
I went back to school on Chinese New Year eve for 2 purposes. One was to discuss the choir concert name with the committee and the second one was to meet up with my ex classmates and teachers! Yea! As usual, the choir committee got nothing done despite being there for around 2 hours but we had postponed it to tomorrow when we visit Mrs. Choy at her house. I met some of my old classmates that day. A lot of catching up was done. We talked a lot and listened to stories about their JC life so far. It was so funnnn!
After that, Joel, Ching Si, Yong Xiang and I went to Hougang Mall to have our lunch but it turned out that the food court was close and Mac Donalds and KFC were very packed. So Joel, Ching Si and I decided to make our way to Compass point to meet Nikki and gang at Yabbe. At Yabbe, we talked a lot and joked a lot. Haha… It was so fun and I enjoyed myself there. I was laughing so madly there but luckily not many people were around. I saw a Nativity church choir member there… don’t think he remembers me… haha…
Joel and Jonathan had to go off after lunch to meet their mother so Nikki, Jason and I walked around Compass point while Ching Si headed home. As usual, we joked around wherever we go. Haha… I had to leave at 2.45pm because I need to go to my grandmother’s house to have my reunion dinner and to give tuition to my cousin. My cousin and I were both so tired that we did not complete much in the end… haha… She played a stupid trick on me that day, sending a sms to my friend saying something very _____________. Haha… I threatened her that day, ha!
I went to my aunty’s room after my dinner and had many thoughts. I remembered how I used to play with my other cousins at my grandma’s house when I was young. Now everyone had grown up, having their own families, own lives. So fast…
I went home after that to do some work at home. I went online and counted down with my friend… haha… and everyone seemed to be so happy! Yea!!
Chinese New Year Day 1
I woke up at 11 am today, feeling so excited yet nervous. My first destination was to go to my Grandma’s (My father’s mother) house to visit. Nervous because I am not at all close to my father’s side except for 2 cousins whom I am giving tuition to currently. Everyone whom I used to play with when I was young seemed so hostile towards one another. Anyway, my whole stay there was quite boring and all I did was either to read my A level biology guide book or to talk to my cousins (the ones that I am close to… haha…)
At around 4pm, I left my grandmother’s house and headed towards my aunt’s house (My mother’s side). I am closer to my mother’s side because I don’t know why… Ha! Anyway, everyone looked so sad when I was there. I was totally bored there, more bored than I was in my grandmother’s house. I was wondering what is going on? My elder cousins and aunties were playing mah jong while my other cousins were sitting around a table full of new year goodies, munching away. I joined them, but they were so quiet… Hmmmmz…. At night, when all the mah jong playing stops, everyone gathered around and started to play poker. I did not join in because it’s sinful to gamble… heez… anyway, they seemed to have so much fun. That’s much better. I went home first because I was so tired anyway I would be seeing them the next day again.
Chinese New Year Day 2
I woke up at 12.45 today and finished praying at 1.30pm. Today, all my relatives from my mother’s side will be coming to my house! YEA! By the time I left my room, my third uncle and family had arrived. So I went to bathe immediately so that I will feel and look more refreshed. Slowly, one family by one family came to my house and it started to get crowded. My cousins took turns to use the computer while I went round serving people with BBQ pork and Kueh Lapis. I became the servant of the day. Hahaha… but it’s alright. My cousins and my aunt then went out to watch 2 shows on VCD, Shaolin Soccer and Home run. While they were at that, I stayed in my room and chat online… haha… There were 2 groups playing mah jong at the same time. Soon, night came and everyone played poker and lazed around after dinner. There was the usual curry (my mother’s best dish) and a few others. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves. So happy for them. All my relatives left at 10 pm after one and a half hours of poker. Haha… There goes day 2 of CNY.
Chinese New Year Day 3
Today… I will be going to my third aunt’s house. I dunno what is going to happen there but hope I will not be bored again. Ha! I will be going to Mrs Choy’s house tomorrow… heez… that’s all… I really hope my friends had enjoyed themselves!

Hi people!!! haha... so long nver see me update my blog already rite? very very very very very very very very long time already horz? Yea... why didn't i update my blog? because i am lazy to update, and i have nothing to say... why have i decided to update it today? because many ppl had asked me this qn... "You never update your blog arhz?" Haha...
Before the year 2004.
The remaining 12 days before the new year had not been very eventful. The choir went to the Thu Ja home on the 22nd of December to perform to the homeless destitutes there. They were all so happy when we visited them. The choir members somehow enjoyed themselves that day.
My cousins came to stay over at my house on Christmas eve and we counted down to Christmas. Before that, i went to Nativity church supposedly to listen to the church choir sing, but ended up meeting my friend. We did some catching up and he gave me a christmas present. So sweet! =D heez... I gave him his Christmas present a long time ago. He is the third friend, close and special one, who gave me a present. heez. Anyway, went home after that to count down with my cousins. Nothing special actually.
Christmas day. My mum’s birthday. I celebrated her birthday in the morning until late afternoon. Spent my time playing MSN games with Aloy… haha… then rushed down to Joel’s house to celebrate Christmas. It was so fun there. We were chit chatting and we made so many jokes. I was laughing throughout my stay there. The food there was great too! I love Joel’s apple pie! IT’S DELICIOUS!!! Way to go Joel! =) I had to leave early because I wanted to return home to continue to celebrate my mum’s birthday, but when I got home, almost all my relatives had left. So I became bored at home, with nothing to do. I ended up calling my friend and we talked from 12.30am to almost 2am… haha… As usual, I was laughing and laughing again. So my Christmas is not entirely boring as it was brighten up by fun and laughter from my friends. My mother enjoyed herself too… I guessed…
The rest of the days after Christmas was quite boring with nothing to do. On the 29th of December, I went to the Meridian Revelry, a concert by both the Meridian Junior College Choir and Band. The concert was FANTASTIC! They did very well despite the fact that they are new. The band did well and with their wonderfully lively repertoire, I was enjoying myself throughout the Band’s first half of the concert. The band played Concerto D’amore, a very popular piece played by my school band. Haha… they did that quite ok though, I feel that my school band did that better than them but the tone is of course better than my school band. The choir part of the concert was EXCELLENTLY FANTASTIC!!! They sang so well! I was entranced by their performance, especially by the Male Chorus. A small group of people can produce such nice harmony and they sang so loudly without the help of microphones! That is so much better than my school choir. But then again, I cannot compare my school choir with them. They sang our SYF piece, visiting spring. It was done so much better than our school choir… sigh… how I wish I can join their choir… how I wish I am good enough to join them…
On New Year’s Eve, I stayed at home and count down with my friends online! So fun!
The New Year! 2004!
On New Year Day, I went to Compass Point with my friends to eat and talk and to see them do their homework. HAHA! I have no homework to do! Hearing them talking about how 2003 had been for them and lamenting about school reopening so soon.
I went back to school when school reopened. Went to help out with the Sec 1 orientation camp even though I am not a councilor… haha… Stayed over in school. I enjoyed myself there. Talked a lot to my friends and surprisingly I did not sleep at all through the night. But then, it’s okay because I feel so awake through the camp. Didn’t feel like sleeping at all. But I still have to give tuition the next day. So I went home in the morning to catch some sleep.
Practically, I have been going back to school almost everyday to help the choir (even though the only thing I did was to help them sing.) Not only the choir but to kill time there. I actually sit at the gallery yesterday, helping my friend with his rhythm for his assessment and also to hear another one of my friend play his saxophone, his assessment piece. Haha… I will be going back to school again tomorrow since there is choir practice tomorrow.
Watch out for the Montfort Chorale! Making it’s debut on the 2nd of April at CHIJMES Hall!

It was done so much better than our school choir… sigh… how I wish I can join their choir… how I wish I am good enough to join them…
On New Year’s Eve, I stayed at home and count down with my friends online! So fun!
The New Year! 2004!
On New Year Day, I went to Compass Point with my friends to eat and talk and to see them do their homework. HAHA! I have no homework to do! Hearing them talking about how 2003 had been for them and lamenting about school reopening so soon.
I went back to school when school reopened. Went to help out with the Sec 1 orientation camp even though I am not a councilor… haha… Stayed over in school. I enjoyed myself there. Talked a lot to my friends and surprisingly I did not sleep at all through the night. But then, it’s okay because I feel so awake through the camp. Didn’t feel like sleeping at all. But I still have to give tuition the next day. So I went home in the morning to catch some sleep.
Practically, I have been going back to school almost everyday to help the choir (even though the only thing I did was to help them sing.) Not only the choir but to kill time there. I actually sit at the gallery yesterday, helping my friend with his rhythm for his assessment and also to hear another one of my friend play his saxophone, his assessment piece. Haha… I will be going back to school again tomorrow since there is choir practice tomorrow.
Watch out for the Montfort Chorale! Making it’s debut on the 2nd of April at CHIJMES Hall!
