happy racial harmony day!!

21 july

it was a wonderful day

had a great time

.

this year RHD program kinda boring

no concert no nothing

just a ppt show and taking of photos

that took up like the reading period and the first period only

first all the teachers took a photo on stage

then all the students who dressed up went on stage

but it was really messy

in the end everybody who dressed up went to the parade square to take a giant group photo

the only person who didnt wear an ethnic costume in the photo was mrs seah

"great" principal my school has eh

.

after that lessons as per normal

boring

but we didn't care

took photos in class like nobody's business

in the end our teachers also joined us

mr ow and ms shamsudin

.

after school had cip

our class visited the geylang east home for the aged

though all the elderly there were chinese and they spoke mostly dialect

still managed to entertain them

the npcc peeps from my class

we danced and sang the banana song

.

reached back school at about 5

then had to look for mr ng and mr yong reguarding the annual parade

i already told mr yong that i wanna aim for 1st class drill badge

hope i can get it =)

.

then me & ivan met up with the other gals at j8

to take neoprint!!

hahaha

kinda long time since i last took one

we ended up taking 2 neoprints

somemore we were all wearing our ethnic costumes

cool eh

first one had 8 people

second one had 10 people

wah

so squeezy

but both neoprints turned out really nice =)

.

argh

kinda tired now

tomorrow still got annual parade rehearsal

all those involved please remember to bring your half-u k

.

today i also found out a little secret

part of me finds it hard to believe but the other half...

err

don't know how to say

somemore its been kept a secret for about 3 to 4 years already

i still can't believe it

hmm

shall not say more

.

*tired*

*sleepy*

i shall end here

i'm listening to electrico - "runaway" right now

.

so let me update today

first went to meet up with li fang at 230

we took the same train and didn't even know it

had our lunch and left to catch chua's performance

the performance wasn't bad eh

quite nice

.

after that both of us went to meet faisal

but after abit of walking around of course

then we headed to suntec for dinner

after dinner li fang left

though she supposed to watch electrico with us

but it was getting late eh

.

so just left me & faisal to check out electrico at baybeats

woo hoo!!

electrico wasn't bad eh

but the songs they played kinda difficult to like jump around and really lose it

.

before the last song

the band told the crowd

that once there was this girl who listened to their album at hmv

she heard it and she bought it

after she found out electrico were a local band she returned the album

the crowd went "aww..."

lol

i cant believe that girl actually did that

hmm

if i find out who that person is

she better watch out

haha

.

after that we went home

ohya

electrico's coming out with a new album this october

and i don't even have the first one

*hint hint*

lol

first went to meet mich at city hall at around 130

have to study a while first you know

we very hardworking people

haha =P

.

mich showed me where's the centrestage

i finally know where it is

its actually a few restaurants but they kinda have a common sitting area

something like a high class food court eh

but we kinda scared to study there

cause people eat expensive food then two of us there studying

weird weird

so we walked around a lil bit more

and ended up studying at da open space area at the food court upstairs

away from most of the noise and food

view was kinda nice somemore

.

we studied till about 545 then left to meet wei earn for fondue

mich was saying she was never on time

so we slowly walk there

met her and headed for the chocolate bar for fondue

yummy

choco fondue was great!!

3 of us there enjoyed the fondue so much

still thinking what to eat next time we go there

wei earn still pointing to the photos on the walls

wei earn; "hmm... think next time i wanna try that one."

lol

she still so paiseh to eat the left over choco

then her face like so surprised when she told us the dark choco like boiling like that

hahaha

.

after that wei earn left

mich & i went to check out the baybeats

its ok i guess

didn't really stay there long cause it started to drizzle

went to look for a place we could sit till the fireworks came on

we sat near the front of the esplanade and chatted

about 815 we saw fireworks

nice!!

even heard taufik sing but not really clear though

still better then nothing

.

after all that we continued our walk

continued chatting

finally left for home close to 10pm

.

overall is was a really nice day

lol

choco fondue ~ cool!!

listening compre's finally over

it wasn't as difficult as i thought

it was managable i guess

the great thing about it was that

the radio station played My Chemical Romance - Helena just before the exam

wow

the song really woke us up and we were all like mouthing the words

coolness

.

as of today i have officially read all of dan brown's 4 books

.

mr ng said something shocking today

during a-maths lesson

we were going through examples

he said that he noticed that usually on thursdays that i would make alot of mistakes

i have no idea why too

and he's actually kinda right

somemore thursday a-maths lessons are the last two periods

whereas for the rest of the week

his lessons are the periods before recess

kinda shocked that he noticed this kinda thing

but like i said he's actually right

careless mistake after mistake

bleahx

i don't know what to do

.

tired

i tried sleeping in the afternoon

but i just couldn't fall asleep

i have no idea why

ended up just lying on my bed till evening

.

i cant wait for friday to be over

cause after that is saturday~!!

see ya people

just another school day

uneventful

had a chat with mr shahul during the reading period

he was asking how am i and stuff

then we chat a lil bit

i'm ok i guess

that time even mrs cheong said that i seem less stressed out this year

than compared to last year

weird

this year's my Os right

.

the prefects are getting frustrating again

but who cares right

.

now i'm more concerned with the annual parade

i'm really scared about the sec 2s & 3s

somemore its the last parade

npcc is the guard-of-honour

i'm happy about that

but i'm still worried sick

.

guess what

my cousin's band made it to the straits times school of rock semis

her name's hafizah and she's in "Amber And Me"

vocalist

wow

didn't know she could sing

not bad eh

go fizah~!!

rock on~!!

.

well guess there's nothing much i can do now

see ya people

music
its such an incredible thing
there are so many different kinds of music
and yet
no matter what form it takes
it still has the power to calm and relax the mind
what type of music depends on the mind
be it the
melodious notes of an instrumental
rough deafness of rock and heavy metal
rhythmic sounds of techno
meaningfulness of love songs
or beat of R&B
it can release the mind from what stress it has
.
melodious songs tend to create a sense of tranquility
via its soft yet vividly notable notes
it makes the body more alert
but at the same time it silences the mind
allowing it to wonder in imagination
.
rock and heavy metal on the other hand
is quite the opposite but has the same effect to a certain extent
blasting it
once its loud especially to a point where you cant hear anything else
all you can hear is the music going through your mind
soon the lyrics and heart pounding beats take over your heart and mind
your mind will be so focused on the song that it doesn't have the space to think about anything that might stress you out
therefore, being stressfree
well at least until the end of the song
.
techno is kind of similar and yet has the same effect too
one word
rhythm
just let it take over
eventually you'll feel as if the rhythm is talking, communicating with you
you feel a sensation that you're in a totally different world
as if everything else around you is moving really fast
.
i'll leave it to you to find out about the others
but music sanctuary can only be experienced at certain levels
you can't expect to listen to a song and immediately be stress free
it works for some people with stress that's not so serious
cause no matter what
music does help
it just depends how stressed up you are =)

i just finished watching a movie on channel 5

"the wedding singer"

i still find it damn nice no matter how many times i watch it

it stars adam sandler and drew berrymore

hope i spelled their names correctly

such a sweet movie

especially the part adam sandler sings the song to drew

i even downloaded the song

and here it is on my blog

enjoy

"grow old with you"

today had the first npcc training in a really long time

and it was shi wee's and my first training as SIs =)

mostly had annual parade rehearsal

this year npcc is the guard-of-honour

npcc rock on man~!!

gonna train hard so we can put up a way cool parade this year

somemore cause its the last year for braddell-westlake

.

then i'm like supposed to be in the flag party

first, cause i'm experienced in the drills cause i've done it before

and the others like don't know the drills

second, is that i kinda wanted it cause the drills are kinda cool

especially when we forming up to do march pass

so tentatively i'm holding the state flag

yup

its the singapore flag

honoured seh

hahaha

.

but during the rehearsal right

mr yong and mrs hay were like asking how come i'm doing flag party and not parade commander

then they even said that if i'm in flag party its like a waste of talent

wah.......

i heard that then i was smiling from check to check seh

lol

so honoured to hear people say that

hahaha

so at that time i was like on the fence about the parade commander thingy

and went on to do state flag for today

but by the end of the training i decided to do the parade commander anyway

so i asked zhao de and edmund about it

they were like ok i guess

unless we get to wear number one uniform then edmund will be parade commander

i was like thinking about it the whole training

cause i did not know which to choose

but by the end of the day due to some stuff

i have decided =)

woohoo~!!

PC gonna have to shout like crazy

can relief stress

hahaha

.

well guess i'll end here then

to all uniform group people out there

jia you~!!

so much to prepare for

npcc jia you!!

once
there was a little boy
he was a naughty little boy
he fought with his sister often
none the less, he had a loving and caring family
.
as i said, he was a naughty little boy
he usually didn't do his homework
and even skipped school a few times
that caused alot of problems for his parents
they were often called to see the vice-principal
however, even after all the troubles he'd caused
his parents still loved him as much as they ever did if not more
the lilttle boy did not realise how rich with love he was
he enjoyed making mischief in school
i guess you could say he was playful
really playful
even at home he was a menace
he annoyed his sister often
it frustrated her
but his parents still loved him as much as they loved each other
.
one day something terrible happened
the little boy was playing in his room when he heard two voices shouting
one was a man's the other was a lady's
they were at each other's throat
his mum came into the little boy's room and picked him up
his parents were still argueing
the little boy felt water dripping on his cheeks
he looked up at his mum's face only to see that she was in tears
the little boy was hugging his mum
he felt confused and couldn't make out what was going on
he had heard his name a few times but did not wish to open his eyes
it went on for what seemed like a lifetime
then the boy gave in to instinct and
he ran to his room and hid under his bed
he started to cry out but no sound came from his mouth
his parents were now in his room
their voices shrieking
it was not the last time
.
it didn't end there
soon the boy had nightmares
he would usually wake up sweating and stayed up the rest of the night staring into oblivion
he never got a night's rest after that
and since then, he slept in fear
fear not that his nightmares would continue to haunt him
but fear of something that was beyond his understanding
.
when his nightmares finally ceased to haunt him
he thought that all was over and everything would return to normal
it never did
instead of the loving life he had before, his nightmares disappeared only to materialize in reality
by now, he was wishing for his nightmares to return because in reality, well, there's no way to describe it
his nightmares did not materialize in reality as monsters or ghost
one day his parents just stopped talking to each other
.
in school the boy suddenly became very quiet
but his teachers were very happy with the change
he did not disturb the others, he did not cause trouble for the teachers
he just kept to himself
during recess he would eat in one corner or wander around the school aimlessly
until a time where he felt something strange
everybody around him was moving so fast that it was all a blur
it was as if he had stepped into a different dimension
.
his world had changed
one day he asked god why
there was no answer, no sign, no signal
he had given up on religion
it had never helped him before and it would not start now
.
by the time the little boy became a teenager
it had been several years his parents had spoken a word to each other
the boy had grown, he had matured
but he did not have the mindset other teens had
he was still a quiet person and kept mostly to himself
to him, his situation was normal
i guess you could say that he had gotten used to it
and he didn't mind the lifestyle he had with his parents not talking to each other
also, his sister had escaped the country saying she wanted to study overseas
but her brother knew it was to escape the dilemma they were in
he was alone
.
soon his life got pretty miserable
he had given up on hope long ago
he was determined to survive in this world with little or no help at all
eventually his parents treated him with as much transparency as they had for each other
.
to relief himself of the strains he had since he was a kid
he got himself heavily involved in school
i guess he was mature enough to realise that mixing with the wrong company was not the best thing to do
inspite of his situation
sooner or later, he got so involved that he no longer had a social life
not that he had one in the first place anyway
he drowned his sorrors and sadness into a stream of endless work
at least it distracted him from the dilemma he faced
.
his life goes on and he finds little bits of happiness here and there
but everytime he returns to the house he lives in, he is reminded of the horrors of his life
his house is not a home but he is thankful to have a room
for that is his sanctuary, a place of salvation
a place of tranquility and peace
he may not be the luckiest boy in the world but he is grateful
unfortunately, his future seems dim
who knows what will happen to him next
for he has to understand it before it can unfold
what happens after that has yet to be written......

.

in life, the best stories are not those that we create

but they are those that we experience

hey guess what

i just added a song to my blog

it took me a really long time to do it k

cause yesterday it was like one minute working then another it wasn't

hehe

.

so enjoy the music

now playing

wayne wonder - hold me now

.

i'm going out study with mich & jun later

hope i can finish my work

bleahx

.

P.S: if you can't hear it let me know k

yesterday was the carnival

its was quite ok i guess

i really love doing the dj thingy

was doing the fading in and out of songs and changing of cds all the way from 9-3

the whole 6 hours was helping them

didn't get a chance to really walk around

for some reason i don't really mind

but i actually wanted to walk around a little bit

oh well

its over

being a dj is cool!!

.

mich & wei earn reached mua school at 2

was actually abit pai seh eh

cause yesterday's carnival wasn't really pack

not alot of people went

its was more like a carnival by my school for my school

they even made a dedication

hehe

lucky sam didn't read out the whole thing

.

after my shift was over at 3pm

we left and headed for cine to catch a movie

"be with you"

its a japanese love story

its sooo nice....!!

really touching and meaningful

lucky i didn't shed a tear

after the movie we left for woodlands

wei earn left to meet someone

so left me & mich

we went to this nearby park sat there and chatted

jun i so sad leh

you cant recognise my voice on the phone

lol

nvm la i don't blame her

after that wei earn came to meet us again

we chatted quite alot i guess

very pleasant night

.

what a wonderful day it was

i only reached home at about 12

lol

see ya people

enjoy ya youth day...!!

damn it man

sometimes i just wish that my father would get out of my life

and leave me alone

he's so freaking sickening ya know

every lil thing i do wrong he takes it out on me

even if its like small things that my mum or sis does

he still takes it out on me cause most of the time

i'm at home at his mercy

he even throws his tantrum on me

its so childish and freaking irritating

what an idiot

he's so troublesome too

shall not go into details

JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!

.

tomorrow's the carnival and i'm supposed to be really excited

but cause of my freaking home

i got to just forget it

i'm aint gonna care about it anymore

they've been like that for a few years anyway

so i've kinda gotten used to it

.

lately i've kinda been thinking about jc or poly

actually i wanna go jc

but the only thing stopping me is the fact that i'll have to take MT in jc

and in case you didn't know

my MT is like erm

well there are no words to describe it

if i didn't have to take MT i would have aimed for jc all the way eh

i should have taken MLB

if i was my old self i would have blamed cikgu bariyah for not giving the option to choose

but i guess i'll just hove to accept it eh

guess it was not meant to be

if i had aimed for a jc it would have been nyjc

ajc is too high and at least cai ping is at nyjc

about the poly bit i haven't really thought it through

though most probably i'll be going there but i'll still be aiming for uni

its just how i'm gonna get there

.

*sigh*

i'm really frustrated with my prefects too

shall not say much

i don't know what to do with them anymore

.

anyway guess i'll end here

hope everything goes well tomorrow

see ya
