PROM WAS AWESOME !

So glad my red dress turned out alrighty in the end, i was afraid it would look too plain :D Ugh but so many girls wore red on that night ! Not special anymore ): But no matter, everyone looked really really pretty !

Met w/ Nette + Tings + Boon to do hair @ Far East before going and they curled my hair until damn taitai-like. Then we rushed off to do express mani-pedi which was so express that I smudged it 2mins after it was done ): Then rushed off to Swissotel to rehearse w/ choir greens and finally got to change. Flower helped me do eye makeup haha it smudged towards the end so I think I looked pretty darn tramp-like.

But yes ! Food was pretty good and everyone looked gorgeous :D Just before our turn to go onstage I started chattering and shivering (as I always do) so badly that Gen & PeiYun had to start rubbing my arms. But I guess it turned out OH-KAY just hope we could even be heard ~

Lots of photo-taking preceded before we finally retired to the hotel room. More photos, gossiping and at long last, sleep. 12 of us squashed into 2 adjoining rooms HAHAHAHAHA EPIC. Rueiern+Gen+Wen+Lynette+me jammed into the king-size bed while the others shared the 2 queen-sized. In the morning I went to check on them and they even placed all the armchairs at the bedside for their outstretched legs. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yep so in the morning had macs for breakfast, talked/played loads more and went home voiceless.

And basically, I've been going out everyday since. Seriously, not one day of homestay I think I'm gonna set a record ! ^^ Watched HP7 (which was absolutely AWESOME i love david yates now), shopped tons and spent wads of cash in the past few days. And I caught Prince Caspian for the very first time and now I'm officially a Narnia fan. Wish Susan and Peter didnt have to leave so fast ):

Last note to this obscenely long post: GO LISTEN TO THE CALL BY REGINA SPEKTOR !! They used it at the end of Prince Caspian and it was absolutely magical. For some bizarre reason I was so touched by it I went to sleep thinking about it and even woke up with it in my head. Wanted to cry cos it's so darn appropriate for the movie ! HEE.

Universal Studios on Friday !!! :D



I was a little skeptical about it at first, esp being the smallest one opened and having 2 great rides that werent even opened yet, but it turned out pretty good ! Or maybe it's cos I went with a whole bunch of the MEP girls (L) Plus the weather was fantastic !



Lots of laughter and photos and for me, incessant applying of sunscreen ^^ I got a little sick towards the end, must have been all the head-pounding music they blasted throughout the park. Favourite segment of all time is definitely the New York part, everything looked so authentic and pretty !! Ning the lucky cow gets to go there end of the year omg ENVYYYYYYYY. And I really liked the Steven Spielberg show and Monster Rock show too haha. Count Dracula is tre sexy ;)



Rides were just okay though. Too short for my liking :/ I guess best ride goes to The Mummy's Return since I'm a huge roller coaster fan. Plus the queue was like the shortest, so thumbs up for that !

Photos ! (rest on fb) :

oh and Nettey wore contacts for the very first time ! Doesn't she look cute ^^

(yes, I'm back.)

Choir Farewell today. The 2+ hours of partying werent anything to rave about, but the gift/letter exchange at the end was beyong touching. And i just finished reading all the letters from everyone. Ohmygosh seriously, no words can express how touched I am. Surprisingly, the best lettters were from the juniors, and if i see another "You're the greatest/awesomest/best SL ever" I think I'll pinch myself. I have the best juniors ever, without a doubt, and I'm not just referring to sop ones. Really cant believe I have to leave all of this behind. Then again, turns out I dont feel so mortally depressed as I had expected (and prepared myself for). I guess the reason is that I know that choir is and always will be a big part of me and even if I leave, I can't ever let it go. It's comforting to know that I'll always have this with me forever (:

And haha, since you're probably the only person who ever reads this blog, HEY DENISE BIG SHOUTOUT I LOVE YOU !

Yesterday was the last official day of school in St. Nicks
):

So i guess it's appropriate to make this my last post until after O's. A month-plus-2-weeks-long hiatus awaits, and I hereby sacrifice the computer and give up my soul to my chem TYS. Sob.

And since a very extra special day is coming up, even before O's (!!), I might as well post up a wishlist :D Not that anyone with money actually reads this blog ... Once again, sob.

• POLAROID CAMERA (+film)
  i dont really get my sudden urge for this but well, it's an urge. and i want it v badly.
  
  
  
• Rings
  all sorts ! I'm really into those cutesy/funky/chunky/retro/flea rings now
  
  
  
• f21 vouchers
  
  
  
• Scrapbooks
  i'd really appreciate the effort. shows that you care :]
  
  
  

Actually, I'll just be really grateful if people even remember my birthday, what with all the mugging and all.

:/

Meheh so lazy to log onto blogger to post nowadays :P

Much has happened. MEP practical for O's is over ! Can finally relax and start concentrating on Grade8 voice + piano dip ~

And studying is so not my thang. Try as i might, i can't really bring myself to do paper after paper !!! Most productive I've ever had is 3 papers in a day ): Chem is driving me mad, I hate "applying my knowledge". To comfort myself, I constantly remind myself that I am, in fact, knowledgeable. I just have zero application skills. Righto.

Anyhoo, I remember I found Ms Lim on fb eons ago, when she still had no friends. Today, facebook asked me whether I wanted to add her cos we had 10 friends in common. Seriously ?! Choir members actually dare to add her ? Big shocker. Totally cant tell from the way they make no effort to communicate/respond in choir. If a grey/red badge adds her I think I'll laugh.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come off as so offensive. But preparation for O's has made me a bitter old lady. I WANT/NEED WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT. AND HUGS. IF YOU SEE ME IN SCHOOL, HUG ME.


On a less psychotic note, Tom Daley will be diving at the Commonwealth games ! Rejoice !

PRELIMS ARE OVERRRRRR

WHEEEEEEE

BUT THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

SHITTTTTTTT.

Kay so this week has been ... productive ? I'd like to think it has. I finished Group 1's farewell presents ! Hooray, getting started on the greens' now and I still have no idea what to give my sop ones. Oops.

On the topic of choir, I'm seriously sick to the stomach because of a particular section. After talking to Lynette, I realise her words ring true. They think they're good but the only thing they really are good at is poaching all the good singers from other sections. Whenever they're bad, they reshuffle, so it seems like their standard is being constantly maintained or whatever shit. Happened during blues' year and it just happened again. Whatever, I guess I shouldn't care so much, considering I'm not even part of sn choir anymore and therefore have absolutely no business sticking my butt in but if that's how a choir works, then I'm kinda glad I'm not part of that anymore.

Like, wtf okay, the whole of this year sop one was suffering and going through so much shit and there were so many times I felt like breaking down and just giving up. I got so helpless I even approached joey. She told me to ask for a reshuffle but in the end I didn't. I didn't want anyone to get reshuffled out without even getting a chance to properly prove themselves and besides, who likes getting reshuffled ? There you go, living proof that I have morals. But not this section, oh no. First thing they do when they suck is go for a reshuffle. God.

And I don't even know if I miss my sop ones because so many of them are not there anymore so it doesn't even seem like sop one anymore. Ugh.
