I have been sick for the past week. And now I totally cant sing. My sore throat and cough is getting worse. Drink more coke ;)

Friday night, Melody called me and asked if i got anyinfo from Ben Chua about worship prac. I said no. So i SMsed him.

"Is there prac tmr?"
"I'm outside now. Can you check what the roster says?"
"It says you."
"Who are my musicians?"
"Andy, Rasmus, Darryl, Sheena."
"Can you tell them that prac is at 3pm in the chapel . Will tell you the songs tml. Thanks for alerting me. "
"OK."

The next day...

"Gd morning! can you check who is on sound duty today?"
"Sean."
"(the list of songs) Pls help me tell the rest."

Wah lao .. everything also ask me. But nvm. I'm not mad.

Why

Why why why why why why why why why

Why am I whying. -__-

There's tution tmr. I'm having a sore throat.
____________________________

Thank God for taking the fever away from me. I feel much better now. Didn't go to school yesterday cause of the fever. I was so weak that I couldn't even walk out of the house to the clinic. So my father had to come back during lunch time and brought me to the doc. I could at least walk at that time. Guess what. I was the last patient. nvm. The doctor was quite old, and she spoke in chinese. But very friendly lah. Bit like Edna Mode. haha.. cute

Yesterday they went to Changi Airport for the maths Trail. sounds so fun!! too bad i missed it. no choise lah. I would have fainted if I followed the class there. Then it would be trouble for the teachers. and the St. John girls. lol.

Tomorrow is the trip to sungei buloh. Getting ready for bites--mosquito bites. Too bad I don't have insect repellent. So I have to use MOPIKO/wu bi gao. HAHAHahahaA. Last year I saw this handphone drop under the bridge 0_o What a pity. The next thing is the monkeys pop out and run away with our belongings. Or we are so fescinated with a bird that another bird flies past and drops a piece of shit on us. okay, i'm crapping again. But i can't help it.
i SO want to give tution a miss.

Enough about yesterday and tomorrow. Talk about today. The I & E workshop and some business and entrepreneurship thing.It was a bit boring, except for the game. Monopoly tycoon. Quite fun lah. Though I din't play, just watched them play. Spent most of my time sleeping. Was feeling drowzy, that stupid fever tablet. The so-called recess was 45 minutes long. How cool is that.

Life science course. Thankfully, it's the last lesson. BORING like anything man. Most of us were dozing off. ZZzzzzzz... Sleep sleep. yea bed time now still must wake up early tmr... be a good girl...... AND WHAT AM I DOING TO MYSELF?!* shakes back into reality* There's still a couple of things I wanna say. Yup so the teacher was boring lah, not the course.
Three classes, 2b2, 2b3 and 2c1 are in the same group. 10 cheers for 2c1. Why? because only 1 person never turn up from our class. JEssiCA LAy. [what the fffffffffffffffffffish is wrong with her?] Lots of people didn't turn up. mainly from b3. but both classes also had lots of absentees. lets have 20 cheers for 2c1! 20(hip hip horray!)

Going down to the CC tmr to check for any recreational activities. For NYAA. (how troublesome can it be?) and somewhere in June we have to go to the SPCA and maybe get a place for ourselves.. as service. maybe it's first come first serve and we must like 'grab' it.

Next week is a seriously BUSY week. Good night

hi

so yesterday, i got the 28th place. If only i was more to the front, then i might have gotten the 20th, and get my trophy. just 8 places. it's over, i've done my best. Lee house isn't very strong this year.
at east coast, the sun was like barbeqeuing all of us. i swear i'm a little more tan than before. okay, not just me, but everyone else.

Jessica Lay, LAi Theng and Yu Ting came over to my house. we cooked spaghetti and soup and had vanilla coke float for dessert. it was a nice meal. then watched the show "Money No Enough". and had a good time laughing our heads off at certain parts of the show. after that played badminton. then we had a serious talk. About Jessica and her small clique. bout how they're treating her and all. i could feel that she somehow trusts us and might be joining our clique. good lorh, there'll be an even number. and then they went home.

went to suntec city with my family. took a photo with the star wars characters. and my wather won their toy rifle from the lucky draw. the food was from Elsie's Kitchen. Very nice. and the popcorn was SO EX. 1 $6. about the movie: 1st part was super boring. i only like the 2nd half of it. it's when i understood the plot and all. more than 2 hours, i reccomend this movie to all who are planning to watch it. after the show, they gave out M&M's minis.
quite a good deal. free dinner, free movie screening and free m&ms. only pay for the parking.

i have worship prac at 12 later. look at the time.

tomorrow

a gentle reminder: i would like this blog to be known as http://taken.to/praise-him and not musicfreakoxx cox of certain reasons. those who linked me, please update.

Tomorrow is the day.
Walk-a-jog. I wish I didn't have to compete. No training, no nothing. Just run like that. I'm scared! Want to make it to the top 20... but i know it's quite impossible for a skinnified freak like me. at least i'm scoring for my house.. Yay lee house rocks! w00t w00t!

got some of the CA results. hen shi wang eh.
i
failed
maths
and
lit.

I FAILED. i wanna commit suicide. nah just jk.. failed maths. how to get to a science stream?? but i got almost 80 marks for science. if only i studied harder for chem... can even get 85! ,ust work harder next term.
68 marks for art. and that's the highest among all the sec 2s. which means i got the highest. still, what can art do? nothing. so there's nothing to rejoice about. i failed maths, how disappointing.
history, dunno yet. miss hazelin needs to key in the marks like for the whole level? i don't blame her for taking so long.
geography. only improved by 3 marks. what is this. lousy. and look at lai theng she has 7 marks more than me. i can't go arts stream. history and geography sure can't make it one. esp lit.
i failed lit. just can't do poetry. perhaps a novel would be good. yes, clay marble. sec 2 lit is so hard. i topped the class for lit last year. this year, fail. haii..
chinese is no better. 1 more mark to a B. what will my tution teacher think of man. i think i'm really not the chinese type. more of the english. speaking of english, miss loh said i was the top 5 when i almost got a C5?? and our "describe your ideal school" composition. where is it? I want it back.

Mrs lim said yesterday that she liked my basket which i carried to the D&T workshop yesterday. She was like looking a my things inside it, carry it around... and today zelia actually threw one away. i took it. and when mrs lim came into class i gave it to her. (FYI, there was nothing but paper in the dustbin, so it's quite clean) she said "no lah, i just joking only.. you really go and get for me ah?" so i said," no zelia don't want, she want to throw away". then she took it lorh. still said she was "very touched". see? i'm a gracious PL-Lite. :)) quite confident that mrs rajah would say something nice about me for next week's meet-the-parents session. and IF my parents see miss loh, she'll also say something nice. ha.

yesterday, i went from serangoon to hougang without any car, bus, lorry, van, taxi... BUT. on xing xian's bike. reached home all dreanched in sweat, stinking like . haha.. at first i couldn't believe her. so she rode me home. wasn't as long as i expected.

I pray that God will give me enough energy to run tomorrow's "race".

lurkers, please tag. i know you're there. the counter never lies :) tag yah? gby. [God bless you]

the school building fund

Thank God for nice hair.
I cut my hair today. it looks much much shorter now.. and it's layered. cut it at the $10 EC house in heartland mall. The man so gentle pls. gentle until he dropped the comb on the floor and had to take a new one.

this afternoon, jie xin, sara, yu ting and i baked rock cakes. there's rasins. some of them are topped with oreo bits. we had quite a lot of them. $1 for 5. NOpe, the money isn't for ourselves. it's for the school building fund. see, nice and thoughtful PL-lites take their own innitiative, to come up with something when they can't raise enough money.

so. we spent one whole afternoon weighing flour, rasins, beating eggs, messing up the kitchen... and we had CHAO DA cookies. how nice. and we went around my block trying to sell it and explaining that we are from PL, that the money was going the school re-development fund.

guess what.

all of it was sold out in less than half an hour! joey was our first donator. and then this uncle bought 4 "packs" from us. isn't that nice. i think it's because his son likes cookies. haha.. this is truly one unforgettable experience. when the few of us gathered together to do our bit for the school. although we only manages to make like $13, which is a very small sum, the satisfaction is there. even if miss ho says we didn't put in effort to try and raise money.. we know it's not true. my father will say that we "waste a lot of time making nonsense and selling nonsense".

yu hui and joey wrote me a testi. that's because i wrote them one. never got 2 tesrimonials in a day before. i wrote lame ones for them , so they wrote back lame ones.

tomorrow, i think they are going to say "hey, you cut your hair!" for now, who cares about hair. but should i tie or let down my hair? heheh...

i can't wait for this Monday's prac. wanna try out the new song.

violin

I'M A COMPETITOR FOE THE WALK-A-JOG.

can you believe that???? a skinny freak like me can compete? mr ong made a giant mistake. so big, it reaches the sun. I can't run. i rather take mt P6 class from the primary school. urgh...
peer lites aren't peer lites for nothing. this tuesday, we have to go back to the primary school and help to organize the post-exam activities and basically just have fun with them. and supposed to lead the same class for the walkathon. and now what. i'm a competitor and can't go with the p6 class.

dr wong wants a 15-min one to one session with all of us! at NUS! how... i'm not that good you know..and she's gonna be strict. i better practice my violin everyday. scales and pieces. aural should not be a problem. it's grade 2 and i'm taking grade 6 piano. i don't want one by one!! it's very scary... i want it to be in pairs at least. when do i have to go down to NUS... lets see... next week! thursday!! why so fast... i need more time to practice.. dr wong why you like that??! haiix...

tests are all over. OVER. all except chinese oral. shouldn't be a prob. my tution teacher helped me.

why am i wishing that there's worship prac tomorrow? i dunno. doing backup is fun. but don't do it because it's fun. do it for God. yes. that's making use of one of the many talents i have.

NYAA. for service--- serve the church or go to the zoo or SPCA or bird park? easiest would be church.. just that it's tough. what should i do? help me decide.

handbell prac

once again, for the sec 3s and the rest of the 2s, it's back to reading scores and having a totally boring prac with the two of them. they assigned new notes to ethel, theodora and christabel. all treble. the melody part. and i exchanged notes with sherry. i don't think she can handle the E and F anyway. yeah so Ethel's taking C and D(double up), i'm taking E and F (double both notes up), Christabel's taking G and A (both doubled) and Theodora's taking B and C (both doubled as well). Hilary and Ling Ying went "down " from treble to bass. the were making such a fuss over that.

tomorrow is someone's birthday.

it's official, yi jia will be my accompanist (????) for violin exam.

sunday again

the song Why by Nichole Nordeman is so nice! the lyrics are beautiful.

so i have to prepare for chinese oral, do history homework, do the letter opener thing for D&T, puppet, study geography...
AAAAAAAHH!! I'M EXPLODING! especially the chinese oral.. liu lao shi is like so strict. what's her problem? can't even hold paper and refer.. it's not as if we're going to read form the paper...
joel is so cute!!
today, free Sunday. Persie went to my church. My cell ah, say want to study end up playing ball.. some more 3 girls never come. clarissa, me and persie were the only girls. stacia's cell sit there for awhile only and they went off to dunno where. so i went home earlier.
they say next week is freeER sunday. meaning? i have no idea. but i think going to watch a movie.

looks like i really can't find a pertner for church camp.

looking forward to teens camp. sounds fun. and probably my 2nd last teens camp before moving off to youth next year.

HAndbell prac tmr. Am i supposed to be excited? i wanna play a new song. sec 1s are improving.
good.

my posts are getting shorter and shorter. i wonder why...

tution

it's raining... not cats and dogs, but elephants and dinosaurs.

Teacher, pls forget to come.

I was at heartland mall with Sara. And I did my tution work there. we had lunch at jia yi bing ding. the noodles were fabulous!
so she wanted to go to comics connection(s?) and i sat at the bench. this girl who was wearing the school blouse and the pri sch shorts walked past me and said "hi joyce!" and it's like i dun even know her.? and then.. this group of ppl walked past.. and one of them made some squeaky sound. was he doing it to disturb me or what. or maybe it was just a coincidence.
then. a second group of guys went up the escolator. the bench we were sitting at was near it. they went up and, if i'm not wrong, i heard 1 of them calling out my name, like whispering loudly or something. i took off my name tag. and he went "lower sec!". my science textbook was on my lap. and there's this huge number 2 on it. i've had enough of this kind of people.

full marks for bio! can you believe that? and everyone seems to be doing surprisingly well for this chapter huh... i wonder why..
[it is about Reproduction in Human beings and issues on sex. those disgusting stuff.]

going out with Sara, Xing Xian and Jolin tmr. hope i can get some clothes.

i hope that my teacher will forget to come for tution. and i'll have a great time meddling with my template.

tuesday?

well well.

i hate my blog address. i think it's lame, and there's no meaning. so i changed it. only the address. contents are still the same. http://taken.to/praise-him where "Him" refers to Jesus.

i think i got full marks for bio. I THINK. saw joelle's paper and checked my ans with hers. miss sem is marking my paper. i took the test only today.
chemistry is so damn hard can. all the funny funny numbers... and the equations.. don't even have time to balance!

control. chinese oral thing tomorrow. i'm going to talk about the casino. eng test tmr as well. and a geog test on thursday...

then we're free!
_________
what's wrong with the freaking tagboard.? why isn't it showing anything?

It's a Sunday

YPM's worship, training and sound and projection team rocks!
Especially the backup vocalists!

Today, we took over for the 1st and 2nd service worship. Worsip leader was Christel, guitarist was Jon Tsang, bassist was either rastus or rasmus [i seriously couldn't tell who's who], drummer was Eugene and singers Stef, Sarah Tsang, Grace and me.

feedback [the system] was quite, er, bad. For 1st service. Like when Stef was singing her part they made her mic louder, and Jon's mic also had some problems. And it was almost perfect for 2nd service.

Next week's free Sunday, I wonder what the planners, Andrew and Clarissa have up their sleeves...

Looking for someone to bunk with me for church camp. Jia Yan can't go, Clarissa can't go, Charmaine... I've yet to hear from her. Hopefully her mother'll allow. Then I won't have to hunt for people.

(no title)

edited: I'm doing this because of the sec 4s. Seriously, I'll miss them. Didn't know that it was their last performance. My sincere appologies.

I have so much to say.

Yesterday was handbells SYF and they got a gold with honours. The only person i could really share my joy with is Ling Ying. We hugged each other.

You know what? i think they and the teachers think the LOWER SEC girls are not important. We were just there to help. As for me, Deborah, Debra, Cheryl and Sherry... We didn't even help during the comptetition. Only after. Do what? CARRY TABLES AND CUSIONS. we worked for almost the whole morning, serving the SYF girls and they show no sign of appreciation. How very sadd. Except for Melissa Chua. She thanked me for helping. The teachers. Ordering us LOWER SEC girls. "Lower sec, go and carry the tables up the bus. Lower sec, go and set up the tables. The rest can go and cheer." Lower sec this, lower sec that. And they get to enjoy themselves while the sec 1s, me, man ling, ling ying, hui ling and Hilary had to work for them, sweating like nobody's business. Did they even notice this? No. None of them. If the LOWER SEC girls are so NOT important, why not kick us out of the choir? We are one. What rubbish. We are 2 seperate groups, The ringers and the helpers. more like servants.

The concert. Violin and choir's holding area is the prefects' room. After the 2nd performance, we saw the SYF ppl (or the important ppl) sitting in the PB room. And the messed it up. Did we complain? No. When they left the room, did anyone even notice that Hilary and I existed? No. We were sitting there, looking at them. Did anyone even bother to wave or say a 'hi'? No. Only Yi Jia did. Why of course, she's my buddy. My good buddy. She even offered to walk me to the bus stop after the concert, cos it was dark. I bet the rest look down on us or something. [Oh, you're just a helper (servant , more like it).]they don't realise that without the Lower sec , they would have lots of work to do. Like what I said, No APPREciation at all.

Taken from Pearl's blog:
I pray for 21 girls as well as the helpers.

Thanks Pearl. That made me feel better.
Thanks to Melissa Chua, for that lil piece of choc.
Thanks to Yi Jia, for being so nice to me.
I love you three.

will miss you seniors lots. :
