I've been sick since Tuesday. My fever always threaten to come back. Even now, I still feel feverish and all, but definitely better compared to the past few days. Argh... The past few days have been quite miserable all because of the stupid fever! Oh well... Have to thank Andre for taking care of me in camp while I was sick. Really thankful for his care and concern.

La Risonanza IV just flew by. Alumni's performance was not that bad (one of the better ones compared to previous rehearsals.......). The choir did well. The other 2 guest choirs were quite impressive. I could have enjoyed the concert and Alumni's performance more if not for that fever which choose to come a few hours before the concert. Praise God for allowing the fever to subside in time! =) woohoo!

I guess I have evolved into a couch potato. I've been rotting on my sofa since yesterday morning (except for nap time at night). rest rest rest is all i need!

Happy Mother's Day to all Mother's out there!

My parents and I had dinner at Serangoon Gardens Market today, together with my aunts and my cousin. I almost puke after dinner, not because the food sucked but because I was so so full that if you push my stomach, I will vomit everything back out for you.

Anyway, we drove pass my grandma's house on the way there. All of us did the same thing while we were waiting for traffic to move. My parents and I turned to the direction of my grandmother's house and looked at it for quite some time. We did not exchange words after that. Everyone was quiet and deep in thought. I guess I missed that place a lot. It was a place where my cousins would gather every saturday, to play. It was the place where I sort of grew up. Yep, a place filled with memories indeed. Sigh... I wish I could go back there again, just for old times sake. But the place is empty now and I think my uncles and aunts have decided to sell it away. Sigh... Oh well... Move on, Jeremy, Move on...

The SYF Central Judging for Choirs took place on Tuesday. MJChoir got GOLD!!!!! I was like so so happy! Can't stand it... The alumni was like so stress while waiting for the results because we thought MJChoir had a chance of getting silver. Wahaha... but Gold!!! Anyway, this year's competitors are definitely strong. Many many choirs seem to have improved alot and some even sound like they have a chance of getting a Gold. But, the judges this year are very strict too. Hence, the number of Gold with Honors dropped to 3 this year and the number of Gold dropped to 4. I was very surprised that ACJC and AJC missed their Gold with Honors and TPJC and RJC missed their Gold. Really very shocking. But then again, its the Judges' decision, so I shan't comment much.

La Risonanza IV is coming! So exciting. Hopefully the Alumni will sound good on stage since there are 2 other guest choirs and there's the MJ chamber choir too... haha... Can't wait can't wait...

Iwill never be bored with my family because there is just too much drama going on here.

Today, my whole family (mother's side, minus a few peeps) won 4D. Where did they get the number from, you may ask? Its actually from the barbeque pit which we used yesterday at our family gathering. The pit number was PIT 1. So where did the other 3 numbers come from? This is how they get their number...

P looks like a 9
I looks like a 1
T looks like a 7

Therefore, the lucky number is................... 9171! haha... They chose to use the BBQ pit's number because there was a huge fire at the pit yesterday and them being chinese felt that it was very auspicious (hen wang!). So they went to buy the number... haha... And so my mothers's sisters flock over to my place (minus sister number 3) for an animated discussion. Its really easy to find out if one of my family members have won lottery because the warning signal will sound. It will go off at about 7pm every sunday (saturdays too if we don't meet up...) and that will follow with my mother's scream. That very warning signal would be my house phone's "ring ring..."

How interesting...

Murphy sort of like me today.

I tripped and almost fell down on an over head bridge. I was almost knocked down by a bicycle while walking. I stepped on a dead Cockroach. My friend (someone whom I have not met for a long time...) had high fever today and so we were not able to meet up. While I was walking towards the 89 bus stop, I saw the bus left without me.

Looking at things from the brighter side,

at least I didn't fall down flat and injure myself (or even fall onto the expressway... choy choy choy). At least there was someone behind me who called me to watch out, if not I would have been severely injured. At least I didn't kill a living creature (okay... this is cheesy...). At least my friend is not dead, meaning that we can still meet up some other time. At least the next 89 didn't take so long to arrive.

Oh well... Today's choir practice is quite fruitful I guess. We completed Exultate Justi and managed to sing through all 3 songs. Although the songs are still not perfect, at least we see new faces coming for pract. 3 more weeks to Concert! 1 more week to SYF for JC choirs! So exciting. This would also mean that more weekends will be burnt due to intensive practices. I'm still able to handle it so far even though I'm on the verge of cracking already (too tired... boo...) But yea, its kind of healthy as it keeps my mind moving. yippee!

My aunt gave me 2 cook books today! Both books contain baking techniques for desserts and cakes and what nots and apparently, they belonged to my uncle. I don't remember him as a cook when he was still around... Haha... maybe I was too young to remember about such things or maybe it was just a gift to him. But those 2 books are very very interesting! Am going to read it before baking Andre's Super Fudge Chocolate Delight (HA! I remember ok! haha...) next week. Can't wait can't wait...

I am so extremely tired now.
I don't even have the energy to chew my food. Pooi pooi!
I feel like fainting when I stand.
I don't have the mood to do anything.
Even baking today seems like a chore to me.
I am so extremely tired now.

Being unable to sleep for the past few nights sucks. I have no idea why too! Must be those stinking mosquito bites!! Da bian... This combined with guard duty completely drained me of all energy. How sucky!

Oh well... May things be better as each day passes...
