I've had enough ok, enough.
WILL YOU ALL JUST STOP IT??
HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO FIGHT?
WHEN ONE STOPS, THE OTHER PARTY WANTS TO CONTINUE,
THIS WILL NOT DO OK.
WHATEVER WILL MISS ANG SAY IF SHE KNOWS ABOUT THIS.
Can't y'all just shift your attention to studies?
You are going to retain if you continue to fight like this, mark my words.
And please stop questioning me.
I am very happy with Priscilla, fullstop.

title
I'm too tired to continue the previous post.
Still have to update private blog
Still have to do music project, damn...
Still have to revise chinese for tomorrow's tuition
Still have to do maths tuition homework
Still have to do lit and bio!!!!! Kill me pls. lol
Went without food from 7am to 7.30pm.
that's twelve and a half hours.
No breakfast, no lunch. Only plain water.
And Joel, he couldn't sing today and never tell me earlier!
Then I could have helped him get a replacement...
Actually since he was the one who couldn't make it he should hunt for replacement.
BUT HE SAID HE FORGOT.
So there were only 2 backups la.
This morning's workshop was on conflict management...
How to handle conflicts as a leader.
The causes, effects and solutions.
I thought that helped alot.
And then for Youth, the topic: God's holiness
Because of Jesus who paid the price for us, we are made holy.
We stand out from the pre-believers.
But when faced with temptation, to the extreme...
How many of us actually choose to give in?
Sometimes it's easy to just say,
oh I won't give in to peer pressure.
But in reality that isn't as easy as we think.
"It is up to (us), (our) responsibility, to practise holiness.
and have a fear for God, not forgetting that he lives in us.
when you lie, you dun admit your wrong, you surf some "funny" websites, say some "flowery" languages, you shall be answerable to God.
He's always there, watching over you, search your minds and soul, every single day, whether you tried to remain pure, or would you fall into the temptations of the devil. and slowly guiding you to hell. it's up to you.
whether you want to take a stang on Jesus. up to you.
well it impacted me though, cuz no one is perfect, if u sin, it's alrigt. God wont blame you.
He is forgiving, but if you sin and refuses to repent, that's something wrong.
so guys. stay pure."
And that was taken from Smarties' blog...
Don't say I'm a copycat ok! I gave you credits lor. haha
Clarissa and I both sensed some uneasiness today...
Being girls, we can pick up this kind of things faster.
Cos' Smarties didn't find anything wrong.
It was mainly Joe and Andrew...
I think Joe was too harsh.
What's wrong with my cell...
I guess I'll just have to pray for them and for the cell, that all of us will remain united as before, and not let anything tear us apart.

Until they had to sit on the steps.
Some parts of the master class was boring, I was dozing off la...
Dunno if anyone saw. lols!
There was this girl who played the grade 8 exam piece. The one which every grade 8 candidate plays... I hear until sian already.
She was rushing through the whole piece, play so fast with inconsistent tempo and the man still say nice!

The boarding facilities are so cool also la!!

i need a guitar pick
My teeth hurts.
Ouch ouch ouch, cannot eat hard food..
`@#$%^&*()_+
dentist tightened it and added this springy thing again.
Not only my teeth, my left hand fingers hurt too!
It's so fragile now, my nails are going to drop out anytime.
I'm currently typing with my right hand and left thumb.
Ahhhh pain!!
Oh man.
I've been guitaring for the last 3 hours.
But it's all worth it!
I can play the guitar now! Like not just those basic chords like G, D, E, A, C...
I can play the sharps and the minors!! haha finally figured out which chord must bar what fret and why.
It's actually that easy, why didn't I notice and find out earlier??
Save me, I'm in love with the guitar now.
Ahahahahah...
Great so now I can play everything except drums.
Lol, which I have no intention to learn =/
Woohoooooooooo! Bass, keyboard, guitar! I prefer acoustic guitars though.
Cos' I strum without a pick. And it's not possible to strum elec guitars without picks.
Yeah man! I can finally play all the sharped and flattened major and minor chords!
See, I never called myself a guitar idiot. Even though I seemed to suck at it. And I'm glad I didn't anyhow label myself =D
There's still the dominant 7th chords, the sus-es and the inversions, which I only grasped 3/4 of it. If I do better, I'll go on to learn the augmented and dimished!
I apologise for the highness! It's just that I never thought I couldn play so much
Hahaha.. I can't wait to jam again.
Next week.
It's not like we can jam just anytime we want to.
It cannot be so impromptu.
And, the whole band must be able to make it.
"If one cannot then all cannot"
"Haha this is how a real band is supposed to be"
I was the only one who couldn't make it this Friday, so I told the rest to go ahead and jam.
Like in the old band, if anyone couldn't come, the others would just continue with the jam.
You wouldn't even know who is secretly rejoicing because you can't come.
This time it's different, those were the replies I got.
Wow... haha. This portrays 'One for all and all for one'
True team spirit. I'm so touched man. lols.
Of course, such is the character of God's children =)
I love you guys =D

perfect, imperfect, plagal, interrupted cadences??
Today's just wrong.
Everything's so pissable. I think most of it is caused by pms.
Damn Ms..
This morning we were all locked out of the class.
Original key missing.
Spare key was with Stacey and she didn't come to school.
So we went for a tour around the school compound for the rest of the morning.
Though the teacher made Stacey come to school to pass the key to the office.
I borrowed a book from _______ for silent reading...
So obviously after reading it I'll return to her.
BUT.
She barked into my face, saying I was irresponsible and ordered me to go return to ______a myself.
Harlow? You didn't tell me it's her book and when I return it to the person who loaned it to me, I am labelled "irresponsible"?
What kind of logic is this.
POA teacher does not want to connect with the class.
Just look at the way she speaks and teaches.
And she keeps saying, she's only a contract teacher, teach us for awhile only and dunno whether she will teach us next year.
Oh, she said it herself.
That she won't go and get to know each student individually...
So opposite of Mrs Eng.
Bio marks just sucks la.
Never got this low before.
My chem sucks too, so I can say goodbye to A2 and B3.
As if that wasn't enough...
_o____ and her attitude.
No wonder so many people didn't like her.
When she got into trouble, I was the one who helped and spoke up for her.
Apparently she didn't give it a damn.
Camp fever is over lor.
Doesn't she understand that it's AUGUST and not APRIL?
If it's April, then yeah I'll still be talking about the instructors and camp.
But now _______, _________ and I are very very very good friends lor, nothing more than that.
She still keep talking about what the whole class knows about it.
Yar I bet she'll go and spread some crap.
POST-CAMP SYNDROME IS GONE.
Yeah maybe she still can't get over her _______.
Tell her to be thankful I didn't bring that up ok.
Everyone knew how ridiculously dumb that was, what _______ _i___ her.
Please lar.
Don't believe lor, as long as I know I'm speaking the truth, they know the truth, they won't bother about your crap.
And _________, I've kinda had enough of her vulgarities.
Effing at every little thing you know.
If she thinks it's cool, well she's wrong.
It's not.
Thank God I passed my geography...
Surprising, since I failed the assignment which everyone aced.
AND the previous test.
Yar and I got scolded by my piano teacher for not thinking hard enough.
She stressed me up by throwing so many cadences at me and for the first time, I had to ans those aural questions.
Never teach me earlier, of course cannot answer properly la!
Wth.
Come back still gotta face my mother's nagging...
And do jian tie bao.. still have 7 articles.
And do music..
And BOTH have to be handed in by tomorrow.
Today sucks la.
1st day of Ms...
Hurry up and get over with it.

wish you were there
I didn't continue the previous post..
let this picture talk on my behalf
It was free of charge =D shared with my sis.
About the jam...
go to Priscilla's blog to read la.
haha..
I took over Grace (Quek) for backup duty today...
other singers were Stefanie and Sarah (Tan)
Most challenging part was to harmonise the new song.
Which I only heard this morning.
Same thing, they kept commenting about my harmonising...
whatever la. haha..
I taught Sarah the harmony/parts...
Sarah, say cannot do it, just because she struggled to remember the tune.
And I kept telling her can can can, replaced the 'cannot' in her with 'can'.
And she did it! W00t feel so happy for her.
(I teach one mah. lol)
We actually screwed abit during the actual worship..
Could see from the corner of my eye that she had the "oh no i made a mistake" face.
And I tried to tell her to just go on and continue to worship. Which was hard la, how to talk on stage.
JACELYN APPEARED TODAY,IN CHURCH AFTER 2 YEARS!
She was one of my best church friends in P6...
Then she backslided and stopped coming.
We never gave up on her, we continued to pray...
Then she came. I hope she continues to come for Youth...
Cos' currently, the guys: girls ratio is 7:2 in my cell.
If she comes, we'll have one more girl! haha.
Topic was on BGR.
Boy-girl relationship.
They don't want us to date until we're above 16..
The rest, it's mainly guidelines for my church youths.
Cell wanted to burst out the birthday song after service...
but! I siam-ed for worship debrief so they didn't sing! hahaha.
Debrief...
"Singers sang well, the harmony was very nice."
Wahaha Sarah and I almost fainted.
Our mistakes (to us) were so obvious they still say nice! lol.
Went for dinner with my cell girls + Wan Hui + Joan + Joe..
The usual place.
Joe treat me to bak chor mee, mai hiam, mai turkwa..
Everyone went to get their food so I sat there to look after their stuff.
And they came back with a slice of cake, with a candle on top!
(brought the cake home)
Still not enough, they started singing!
Damn malu can...
I rather they sing it in church than in the coffee shop...
Another 2 tables, the church youths, joined in...
Eugene, Elizabeth, Vennie, Joanne, Joel, Larissa, Kah Wan, Alfred, can't remember the rest..
and everyone else was looking! ahhahah
Got the shock of the day, but they made me really happy!
THANKS GUYS =)
We went back to church for the memorial service.
People come and go, just like the monsoon season.
Zachary's mother, Auntie Joyce, who's the wife of the church elder Uncle Peter,
passed away very recently.
Due to cancer.
Before going for kimo, she was the principal of Living Sanctuary Kindergarten, my church's kindergarten.
She was a very cheerful woman who trusted God with all her heart and the smile on her face was always glued to her.
She always put others before herself.
Her last words were,
"Thank you Jesus"
Even at her deathbed, her heart was with the Lord.
She was concerned for everyone but herself.
Now she's gone up to heaven...
God has taken yet another soul to His kingdom.
What's happening to our church...
First Auntie Jenni, then Joe's mum who accepted Christ before she left, now Auntie Joyce.
Who's next.
Her family is very affected by her departure, duh.
Ben, Lydia, Matthias, Cynthia, Zachary and Uncle Peter.
I pray that they will stay strong and continue to carry the torch like Auntie Joyce did.
I won't be able to go for the funeral on Monday, it's in the morning and there's school.
Next week is a busy one. And I thought I was very free.
Mon; modular workshop. Tues; Piano lesson. Wed; Dental appointment, 1/2 hr. Thurs; Representing handbells to go to NUS for something. Fri; going for some harpsichord workshop? with o'level music girls. Sat; on duty for backups, prac then cell then service. Sun; Chinese and maths tuition.
Will it ever happen.?
straits or times?

what goes up must come down? false. age goes up and never comes down.
I woke up this morning and dragged myself out of bed, like I always did.
Phone read "1 message received"
Of course, I had forgotten. Haha.
Thanks Timothy...
(in fact it was the only bd greeting thru sms)
This year, no presents but lots of birthday greetings!
Wahaha I feel loved =)
You people really make my day =D
Thank you, Jiahui, Priscilla (hey I specially put your name here leh haha), Fiona, Enmei, Xiying, Janice, Jasmine, Sharmaine and 3/5 of the class for your birthday greetings, + the 28 people in class who sang Mrs Tng and I a birthday song!
There were more but I can't remember. Lol..
God has seen me through these 15 years of ups and downs...
I wanna thank Him for everything He has provided, especially good health!
It's only when you look at the less fortunate and handicapped then you remember you are a normal person and learn to appreciate yourself.
God gave me a wonderful (but noisy) family;
granparents from both sides, mom, dad, bro, sis
He gave me friends;
many of them... again i wanna mention the closer ones, (they are considered close,) who have acess to the blog. (again la i know)
He gave me home;
Singapore. She turned 41 10 days ago.
Going to Swensen's now.. blog again later =)

bye common tests!
After school...
Yeah Priscilla treated me to this noodle ommelette thing.
DAMN NICE OKAY!
I'll go back there again, sometime.
The guy put alot of mayo... =D
Thanks girl!!
We walked into the Christian bookshop, looked through the CDs.
And songbooks. You know, those books with vocal, piano and guitar scores...
And then there was an earthquake.
The shelf was unstable so everything just dropped!
Triple whoops. haha everyone was staring a us.
Then we went into Carrefour.
You know us, when there's a keyboard around, we have to touch it.
Lol played around with the keyboards there...
I like the $699 one! So many different sounds, and it has good touch.
There was one $19.90 one, I was so tempted to buy that one and put it in class to play.
At least it has 2 octaves more than Grace's kb right! haha.
PS. What's at the 2nd-last floor?
Yamaha!
Needless to say, we went there and touched all the instruments.
There's this bass which I like... It's super nice.
Now I think my bass looks freaking noobish.
Oh wells, I was the one who chose it anyway, plus it's nice to play on.
So it doesn't really matter.
Pris likes the red electric guitar.. she wants to get it.
Haha wait for the next sale la, so expensive...
That was the more rock part.
We went over to the more classical area...
Where the books, scores, percussion, woodwind instruments, brass instruments, string instruments and pianos are.
The piano, it's like, OMG la.
ALMOST ALL HAVE EXCELLENT TOUCH!
I've always liked Yamaha pianos.
Especially the silent and exam models, pure elegance...
My current piano is like some 2nd hand Hyundai brand.
Which has been with me since I started learning in P1.
It's nothing compared to Yamaha.
(i want i want i want! haha)
And another thing I want,
The Phantom Of The Opera original scores!!!!!!!
But they cost like $47.
Nevermind, slowly save.
(I wanted to get the Canon in D sheet music, the more advanced one.
$8 plus, forget it.)
I can be stuck in that place for hours if not for Priscilla who wanted to move on.. =X
"Aye I feel like eating Ben & Jerry's leh..."
You know were we went to la.
The B&J's in Cathay! Mix and Match again, upsized.
You pay extra just to have a bit more ice cream, not very worth it leh.
So don't upsize when you go there ok. Lols...
We shared Phish food, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Oatmeal Cookie Chunk.
Haha yeah it's the usual flavours, we never seem to get sick of them...
See la Pris! Say feel like eating only then end up really eating it... Spend so much money!
But it was worth it cos' we were full and enjoyed ourselves =)
I found 10 cents on the floor! My lucky day? haha.
Yeah Priscilla treated me to this noodle ommelette thing.
DAMN NICE OKAY!
I'll go back there again, sometime.
The guy put alot of mayo... =D
Thanks girl!!
We walked into the Christian bookshop, looked through the CDs.
And songbooks. You know, those books with vocal, piano and guitar scores...
And then there was an earthquake.
The shelf was unstable so everything just dropped!
Triple whoops. haha everyone was staring a us.
Then we went into Carrefour.
You know us, when there's a keyboard around, we have to touch it.
Lol played around with the keyboards there...
I like the $699 one! So many different sounds, and it has good touch.
There was one $19.90 one, I was so tempted to buy that one and put it in class to play.
At least it has 2 octaves more than Grace's kb right! haha.
PS. What's at the 2nd-last floor?
Yamaha!
Needless to say, we went there and touched all the instruments.
There's this bass which I like... It's super nice.
Now I think my bass looks freaking noobish.
Oh wells, I was the one who chose it anyway, plus it's nice to play on.
So it doesn't really matter.
Pris likes the red electric guitar.. she wants to get it.
Haha wait for the next sale la, so expensive...
That was the more rock part.
We went over to the more classical area...
Where the books, scores, percussion, woodwind instruments, brass instruments, string instruments and pianos are.
The piano, it's like, OMG la.
ALMOST ALL HAVE EXCELLENT TOUCH!
I've always liked Yamaha pianos.
Especially the silent and exam models, pure elegance...
My current piano is like some 2nd hand Hyundai brand.
Which has been with me since I started learning in P1.
It's nothing compared to Yamaha.
(i want i want i want! haha)

no piano lesson today!
LOL this is so funny...
the 4 million smiles thing.
Got smile meh?
Today's jam wasn't that bad...
Just lack of 'life'.
At first I felt very uncomfortable...
because apparently it wasn't much of a cell thing,
more like Yuying's la..
When I stepped into the room,
WOAH. All the ppl in white uniform.
Clarissa's from North Vista so she also felt the same and she ended up 'seeking refuge' by 'studying' with the other non-Yuying church youths.
I 'hid' at the office to do maths.
Ok new discovery.
Smarties is actually very thoughtful..
He made me feel less odd being one of the 2 non-Yuying people around.
Somehow he knew I was 'hiding' in the church office.
Haha thanks man =)
So like I said, not much of a cell thing.
The extra people left and then we were left to jam more peacefully.
Kevin, Clarissa, George, Jiajun, Smarties, me.
Another discovery,
Some older songs have alot of meaning in them.
Those are the songs which have not been sung in a long time,
until today... it was as if we were jamming hymns =/
Kevin = PRESSURE.
haha don't ask why...

*Sighs*
Priscilla doesn't want to go to New Creation tomorrow...
Later in the afternoon, I mean.
I really want to listent to their sermon and see how their service is like leh =(
So I guess I'm not going too.
James 1:2-3
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
*sighs again*
Ok so for today's youth service, Uncle Dong was the speaker.
Who knew la...
The topic was: Friends. How ironic.
Some points which I feel are important...
Proverbs 17:17
A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for adversity.
Yeah, why else are they called 'friends'?
Don't give away your friendship cheaply, be wise.
It's painful when you get betrayed and break friendship.
They are like the priest and the Levite in the parable of the good Samaritan.
I think, my best friends...
are the ones who have acess to that blog.

Jamming. WHEN?
Pris and Shar, ?????????
Soon I hope. And it better be good =x
My cell's talking about a cell band too.
Yeah it's my idea, how you know?
Smart yet not as smart as me! Ty!
Priscilla, are we still visiting New Creation this Sunday?

yesterday is history, tomorrow's a mystery
Actually...
I don't need to blog already la just look at Priscilla's for details =D
But I'm still doing it.
And today I'm not blogging at the usual weeeeee hours of the morning..
There's a reason why I'm doing that..
What's the reason? Happy guessing =)
Was supposed to do intense studying at Kovan Macs with Priscilla.
You know what next la...
We didn't really study, only absorbed a bit. hahah..
Saw Joel again! I always see the same few people at the same places. Why, cause I'm always at these same places too. Lols..
Rivers, plate tectonics, vulcanicity, earthquakes, qualitative analysis.
You think we really studied that much meh, no lor...
Only a bit of everything. haha..
At first we were talking about stuff la...
Couldn't really study, plus Macs was quiet so I guess people around us knew what was going on. Lol mans...
Stuffed the fries into my oh-very-small mouth and hopped on to Sengkang MRT.
The same place, McDonalds.
The management should really thank people like us, who keep going to their restaurants...
And then Timothy la...
Late as usual.. The words are in bold okay. haha.
He suggested we put away our books and just talk.
Because according to past experiences, one can never study and talk about a particular topic at the same time.
He was right la haha... we dumped the books.
And talked...
Again he spoke from experience...
Even S'pore's Electrico can't go that far.
If you get what I mean.
What more, .... ?
Cannot wan lor... What we can do now is, sit, stand around, watch and laugh.
Turn back, will they ever do that?
I don't think they would be like those youths in the church.
We know the melting and boiling points of their hearts.
Forget them, it's a waste of our time.
They can be used for other things.
(Then you ask, forget them, why bother to still blog about them?
Cos', I'm saying what needs to be said.
Read my disclaimer.)
People show you different sides of themselves, the exact opposite.
I mean it.
One night they come telling you they wanna die, trying to get words of comfort and sympathy from others...
And the next day, they give you a phonecall, sounding super arrogant.
And they can laugh and go out and enjoy themselves like nothing happened.
Isn't it contradicting...
I take back what I said in the previous.
I don't frigging care about you anymore,
(can already hear it somewhere,
"who needs her care la, who does she think she is")
You, you and you.
I'm going to continue with this blog for as long as possible.
Cos' I think closing a blog just because of one or two people ain't worth it.
They're either running away or wasting their time spent blogging for the past who-knows-how-many months. Both la.
As the saying goes, Yesterday is History, Tomorrow's a Mystery.
Yea that's true...
But I'm still blogging about this simply because I wasn't part of the blogging war when it took place.
Now's my turn to blast.
And so, Tim, Pris and I went on to talk about other stuff...
Noob music shop owners, people crushing him, etc...
The funniest being, someone's book.
Wahahah... laughed our ass off.
Laughter is indeed the best medicine..
Had a darn greeeaaaaat time laughing, crapping and eating today.
Priscilla and Timothy made my day...
Not just today, it's gonna be 2 or 3 days. haha...
You know what...
I kind of know how Tim and Ter are feeling about this.
They passed on their talent to their understudies, or students.
They spent loads of time with them in the studio, and outside.
They taught what they knew, hoping and thinking that it will be used for the right purpose, the right way.
But no...
Their understudies absorbed and learnt from them.
Their understudies knew they were Christians and they weren't teaching for the sake of teaching.
Their understudies went ahead... to do what they think is cool.
Which actually isn't as cool as they think.
Or maybe, so cool that it turns into the dark side.
Not just the genre, the chatacters changed... for the worse.
Hey Tim..
I wish you all the best with your next one...
You will be able to learn without much hiccups,
I just know it la. haha.
And may your next one use the skills (given by God to you, which you will be passing on to,) in the right way.
I think you're careful enough not to make the same mistake yea?
Priscilla...
I look forward to whatever's gonna happen in the near future, don't need to think until so far yet. Lols...
We WILL continue to walk the path of the Lord, doing things right in His eyes.
We will continue to study together... without distractions I hope! Haha!
I've changed my mind about you...
And this time it's for the better, don't worry.
Whatever negative stuff I thought about you last time, whatever people bitched about you...
they're erased =D
Haha dunno mans, I just felt like letting you know..
=)

underestimated... and over.
I wanted to blog about today's fun spent praying and celebrating the nation's 41 years of independence..
But the mood was spoilt by, blogs.
Smarties was right about my relationship with x.
I should have told him more about it la...
My cell group, they're so sweet.
I overheard them talking about getting me a card cos' my bd's approaching and that after all, I'm the cell's birthday i/c.
In other words my job's supposed to be, do something for those whose birthdays are coming...
and it brings joy to see them beaming at what i get the cell to prepare for them.
Them being the birthday guy or girl.
I reflected on how God has blessed the community my church is serving..
Through all the CP work. How many have been saved through this...
The prophecy was just, wowness.
As 800 of us, from the congregation went around praying and having fun in our cells, I'm sure everyone felt the same way.
And then there's also the prayer for the nation.
S'pore's government... for wisdom to continue ruling our country in a good way.
For the multi-racialness among us.
Unfortunately for a very minor percentage, this isn't so.
I need to be like last time, when my relationship with the Lord was much closer,
I had a much closer walk with Him.
But, I also ask myself...
Do I only go to Him when I need help, only when there's trouble?
Plus I blogged about this before.
Somewhere in my archives.
I admit now ok..
Yes, it was planned that we did secular.
I didn't want Christian songs to be totally cut off and so I was a little upset.
But then we did some of it so that was fine. (actually, a bit less than fine)
And then... y'all wanted to go into jrock.
You know my answer, no.
I was stunned that day when four of you were at Joey's house watching the vids,
and all getting high over it.
Stunned that 2 of you went along with it.
I already had plans to leave the band because I could forsee that you were going to go into it.
Then 1 said she only went high together because, ......
So that was ok.
What about the other 1?
You know you're a Christian...
you know very clearly, what was pleasing in the Lord's sight and what wasn't.
And yet you went on with it.
Is it because you are afraid to lose your friendship with them if you don't agree to their plans?
I've blogged about peer pressure too, and I'm sure you've read it.
Stand for what you believe in.
If that's the case, contact me, I have loads to tell you.
But if you're saying that you're into that too,
I have nothing to say.
It's sheer disappointment.
Don't make it sound so like that can.
You, you and you are not "quitting the band".
You're throwing her and me out.
I'll gladly let you throw us out though, jrock and vk are and absolute NO.
You know it's linked to satanism...
As children of God, we'd never ever go against Him.
As I read that particular post on ______'s blog that day...
I was shocked beyond shocked.
I wanted to scream out but no, I controlled and was patient.
Now it's come up to here.
Perhaps Tim's right about regretting...
I know that I picked up bass through him.
But it's becuase you know how to play these instruments, so you're going into it.
I'd rather bass be a stranger than to see you do vk.
I'm gonna be more open.
I cared about all of you...
Till now, I still do.
Even though I'm having mixed emotions, even though I sound like I'm super pissed.
(I am anyway)
(It's never too late to turn back.
I know you too well, by the time you turn back, it'll be the end of the earth already. Still, ...)
We're in a Christian school, you've been brought up in a Christian environment.
With this kind of attitude... it seems like the school's efforts of teaching you to grow up to be women of fine character with a passion for life and learning, has gone down the sewage.
How could you 2 even think of dropping out of shcool...
We dreamed of going far... but with so much backstabbing,
how to?
I pray that God will open your eyes, wider.
Michelle and Christabel's efforts have gone down too.
They really wanted to help, they were concerned about what we were doing.
But it seemed like you really wanted to avoid them and you hated what they were doing.If you don't mind, I'll fill them in about what's happening within our ex-band.
And let them judge for themselves,
What kind of people you are.
I'll even let them know about that day...
When lies were shooting out from all over.
Why man... why must this even happen.
Now I regret asking Tim to help in the first place.
None of this would have happened.
He would have been just another camp instructor.
No blind mice or some subbing shit.
When you said J______ and her ___e__s were sort of changing his mindset of things, about hanging with us, yes I agreed.
Now that I think of it...
Maybe it was good.
Because none of this would have taken place.
Because, if you hadn't learned from him, you wouldn't have gone into it.
I'm sorry if this shocked you...
But really cannot tahan already, I had to blog this out.
Why? Because I want you to know how I feel, honestly.
I still care. I still treat y'all as friends, but this time, less than normal friends.
And still... it doesn't pay to be caring because you say,
"I don't need your sympathy."
Fine, that's one gone case.
To you;
Don't let silly thoughts run through your mind.
Why why why, thoughts of suicide?
Like I said, it's never too late to turn back.
I've thought of death myself, but am reminded of God's love.
By His grace, I'm still alive and kicking.
[edited]
And now you come and tell me I wouldn't understand?
Forget it. Why do I keep on pressing on, and you keep on running away?
I'm not going to persue the matter.
But unless you tell me what's up with you
I'm not giving a damn to what you want to do with your life.
Why did I even want you two to make it up...
Because I hated the sight of people having rows at each other.
Now your 3 smses have frigging changed my entire perception of you.
I won't bother to go down to your level and have an sms war with you.
Wasting my msges only...
Oh yeah, you also...
You loved jamming without me, so you could have the instrument all to yourself.
Selfish thoughts never fail to exist.
You didn't give a shit about what others think, that's ok.
BUT.. to that extent...
It was too much.
Now you CAN have the instrument to yourself, all the time.
You aren't going to compete with me.
Go ahead.
I ain't wishing you luck with vk.
Why should I wish people all the best when they're turning against God.
Some people say...
I'm too soft-hearted.
I think this time it hardened a little.

will they ever?
I wanna push that off my mind for awhile...
Got other stuff to think of. Like,

1. A bass guit case. My bass is still in the box cause, I can't put it anywhere else
2. Another cable! The one which comes with the bass + amp is too short.
3. A haircut? haha.
4. I want a guitar stand! -.-
5. I want everything to go back to normal
6. Good grades. How? Study lor. *nudges Pris*
7. I wanna jam. But how to? How how how?
[edit]

my pimples multiply like the problems i experience.
I had a great time with Pris, Ling Jia, Denise and a lil' of Joel in Macs today...
Saw Smarties AGAIN.
Rahrrr. We tried to study but ended up talking about SOP and guitars.
And then I spent some time with Joey and Stacey...
Stacey tried out my bass and she went mad.
Had a great time with them too...
Super conflicted la...
I'm praying about it..
And I tried sorting out my thoughts about this.
I cannot do it alone.
Neither can I talk to anyone in Prata Bling about it.
I feel for both sides. Naturally it'll be unwise to tell any of them..
Especially when things are still very heated and unsettled...
Some classmates are very caring and understanding,
they just know that something's not right and they try to help us.
Thank God for them, they try to cool things down too but sometimes say the wrong things..
Still, they show that they care and that's really moving..
I have different views on both sides...
I wanna tell someone who knows what's going on and can be trusted.
Last night before I slept, I thought I could try and cool things down just by praying and believing... and not getting too many people involved in this.
Looks like I'm wrong.
Just as I am helping and trying my best to settle things,
I need help myself.
Argh I just feel like breaking down this very minute.

SOP and band... expect a long post ok.
I'll blog about yesterday, very briefly..
Was in school at 7.45AM and we transported all the bells and tables and scores and stands to SCH.
Technical rehearsals.. One after another.
Just when I thought I could jump into my geog book and appreciate the wonders of God's creation,
"HEY EVERYONE GET READY FOR FINALE"
or else it's,
"HANDBELL GIRLS GET YOUR BELLS AND GO BACKSTAGE NOW. STANDBY"
... ...
While my juniors and friends were high and happy,
I just couldn't feel like them.
There was something which pulled me down.
Nevertheless I gave my best at both concerts..
Reached home at almost 12AM.
Saw Persie, Priscilla, Kah Wan, Jia Yan, Yi Jia, Elizabeth Eng, Wanyi, Melissa Png, Lee Xuan, Desmond, ....
But I didn't see Joey!
Cool at least there were people.
Today I called Sarah up to accompany me to Bukit Timah Plaza.
And I got it.
Bass la, what else =)
Quite happy with this one, the sound's good and all...
But now, I'm starting to regret getting it.
For one reason:
Prata Bling. What's the use of getting a bass when my own band is talking about disbanding? In a short 2.5 months.
And I talked to Sarah...
SEEMS like she's stuck in between too.
Okay.
Remember how we started out together?
Music marathon.
At that time we were just normal friends, just a bunch of girls with big dreams. That we would not sing a capella for that half an hour.
We were not going to make do with singing along to the CD either, that's as good as just playing the tracks and standing there to fill up our slot.
So I kinda came up with, the idea of a band.
I looked for people who were promising, who looked like they would commit to this project.
And of course we couldn't just play instruments without coaching.
Timothy came into the picture, by helping us.
Oh by that time it was not decided who excatly would play for the marathon.
I still remember, Tania, Stacey and Joey trying out drums.
Tania couldn't commit herself.
Stacey dropped drums and went to bass instead.
So Joey was left with the drums and she persued her interest.
Guitarist, only Sarah could do it. Clare refused even though she had the ability.
And then bass... There was Clare, Stacey and I.
Then Clare also couldn't commit herself and it was really hard to tell her that we didn't think she should play.
Cos' at that time, Sarah, Priscilla, Joey, Stacey and I were jamming VERY regularly. Practicing hard for music marathon.
This brought us close together.
And so we remained close, we even named ourselves Prata Bling.
Oh, those times... Now it seems like such a long time ago when it happened.
And everyone was happy and we were always hanging out together.
Doing things like jamming, eating, crapping and gossiping.
(However, I tried hard not to gossip. Because.. it breaks friendships, and it wasn't pleasant in God's sight. And I wasn't that happy actually, not like it seemed when you read the above. I just felt, distanced. (or was it me distancing myself?) Whatever. I went along with the band even though I was a BIT left out. I even had thoughts of leaving the band cos' I wasn't really needed)
We got to know Syahir.
Though he only talked to us once, what he said actually impacted me alot.
He talked about how good we were as a young and all-girls band..
How unity is very important and we have to be there for one another...
Support and co-operation was important too. (isn't it the same -.-)
He proceeded to talk about how bands disband when they cannot agree and quarrel over things.
And praised us again for our positive attitude.
I was already thinking,
we won't stay like this forever. It's more than perfect, this kind of band.
Conflicts... are bound to happen, just wait.
And I hoped that day never came.
I was so wrong, it did.
One of my greatest fears came true.
And look at us now.
This is the last thing I want to see happening to you all...
LAST, really...
what a fantastic birthday present man.
How did all these start in the first place?
Different beliefs, different opinions, different interests, different choice of genres, and perhaps, backstabbing and gossiping.
This is what happens.
You start thinking of how someone should change and you have good intentions. But the problem was, you didn't know how to tell her. So you told others instead, about how to help her improve.
And then everyone starts thinking that everyone is like this and like that and they end up backstabbing each other and relationships turn awfully sour.
Okay I'm exaggerating la.
But anyway, the thing is...
words are damn powerful. They kill a person, they build a person.
Forget it I dun even know what I'm talking about.
Blogposts start to show more feelings, more opinions..
And the bloggers retaliate, each becoming more frank.
Soon, they decide that they can't take it anymore.
The sourness turns into tasteless, where one could not even taste anything.
They try to turn for help, who would want to bottle up their feelings when this kind of thing happens man..
They simply had to tell someone, they needed a listening ear.
They are Joey and Priscilla.
I'm only blogging about this now because things are getting worse.
I've heard both of them.
In other words, both spilled out lots of stuff to me.
(this is when the forgotten is remembered. out of point.)
So much, that I forget some parts of what they said.
Basically I'm in the middle and I cannot move at all.
Glued there, stuck, nailed, fastened.
I feel so lost, even though I know I'm in Singapore and safe in God's arms, and also in the centre of the conflict.
I really dunno what to do about it.
Stacey's on Joey's side, Sarah's kind of like me, just that she's slightly to one side. I wouldn't say which one.
My closest friends... ending up like this.
My closest friends saying not very nice things about each other.
My closest friends wanting to disband and go separate ways.
What about me? I'm happy with them. Disband, it's like so cannot go far at all la. I don't want to disband. Joey and Stacey want to go VK now. Which I'm not comfortable with
Other times, little arguements, can patch up very fast. Like just in a day.
Now it's totally different la. I don't even think things will improve.
UNLESS both agree to talk things out?
No, that's worse. Will just end up like those drama serials.
Sighs.
Lord, help me again!
Both are telling me stuff...
I feel for them both. But now how?
How am I supposed to handle this???
Lit lessons are gonna be so awkward, cos' our band's grouped together.
I wanna say more, but I'm reminded that this is public.
Not every single thought can be expressed here.
If you read until here, I can only say this...
you're very free.

goodbye, serene
Yesterday Ms Loh told the upper sec girls about Tuesday's rehearsal,
how she was "glowing with pride" as she saw each group rehearse their item.
There was so much talent in PL.
And then she asked,
how many of us have bought tickets to go and watch this performance by the music groups?
How many have got tickets to go and support the performers who have put in a damn lot of effort into this concert?
I thought of my friends.
None of them.
None.
Not my friends outside school, not even my classmates.
While every other class had ticket orders, 3c2 had zero.
I tried asking quite a number of people.
All of them gave me a 'no', not a single yes.
How sad... Hah, this is called 'supportive'.
The concert's on Saturday, and today is Thursday.
Friday morning, to be exact.
I've been asking around for dunno how long...
So much for being proud of PL's talents.
So much for practicing so friggin' hard.
My dear science lab partner, Serene, will be flying off soon...
I'm so gonna miss her.
There'll be nobody else to do practical with, I'll be alone la.
And I'll definitely miss her mrbrown crap...
Oh man, Serene!!!
So sorry I couldn't get you anything...
SOP and mugging tests have taken away all my time.
Just wanna tell you that,
I'll miss you heaps! And you will not be forgotten..
See how much our class loves you, the cake and all...
Love you lots Serene!! Take care yeah.
Miss Ang, if you ever come here...
You are the best form teacher. And SS teacher.
(To think that she was the one who actually scared the shit outta me 2 months ago)
Because our current form teacher can't teach CME,
she isn't as nice as you..
And our SS teacher is like clicking powerpoint slides all the time,
she teaches with a lot of pauses. Like,
"OK, *pause* so there was conflict between *pause* Iceland and *pause* Britain."
The NIE trainee under her is no better.
She just read off the slides.
If the school continues letting not experienced teachers teach us,
we will just fail la.
Miss Ang come back!!
I miss Mrs Eng too.
(omg there's a lizard on the floor.)

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phillippians 4:6-7
I pray that God will see all the SOP performers through this hectic week as we juggle tests, studying, rehearsals and the big event.

i'm quite sure you, my dear blog visitor, are going to stop reading halfway. but it'll be really good if you read the whole thing.
I was blog-surfing...
And I read a post and had the urge to look through ALL my sermon notes.
A prompting from God, perhaps?
Okay it's Priscilla's blog. I am now blogging in response to her post.
But hey, I'm not trying to go against her or anything.
The time has come to stand for what I believe in.
Hello.. Anyone out there can help me, add on or correct my points? Please do.
And true enough, these three topics.
Evangelism, Healing and The Gift of Tongues.
1. Evangelism
Why should we evangelise/tell people about God?
a) God commissioned us to do that.
-Jesus said in Mark 16:15, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. ..."
-Jesus' final words, Luke 24:46-48, "He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things." "
So you see... He instructed us to preach and share the gospel with others. Allow me to go on.
b) It is God's desire that we evangelise.
-God wants everyone to be in heaven and not hell.
-Recall, the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15
- 1 Timothy 2:3-4 states, "This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. "
Actually, there's alot from the bible regarding God's desire to see us saved, but I'll not list all of them here. He does not want us to perish, but repent. When even one non-believer is converted, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God.
c) Dire consequences await if we don't do it.
-As Christians all know, Jesus is THE Way, THE Truth and THE life.
Now look at how hell is like.
_"where " 'their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'Everyone will be salted with fire. ...' " Mark 9:48
_"They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 13:42
_" ""Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. ...' " Matthew 25:41
Look, hell is described as everlasting fire punishment, fire, etc. And it is just so real. Don't want to scare anyone here, but hell does exist. I'm not supposed to be saying this openly actually, but this time I feel that I should just do it. I'll stop at this point though there's lots more.
Christians.. yeah, we definitely want to bring our friends to church and introduce them to what we are doing, let them know that there is a God who is watching over us each day. And this same God really wants them to know Him. However, we don't want to freak the poor non-Christian out by asking him/her to come if we can sense the reluctance in that person. I think that's a bit too much? It won't help because he/she will be even more unwilling to hang out with us, we certainly do not want that to happen.
2. Healing
This is linked to deliverance, in case you didn't know.
God heals, we know that. I don't have to type the bible references out, do I?
Being able to heal... is a commission given to the church.
-James 5:14-15 "Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. "
Not everyone can heal and deliver leh.
-(this verse is kinda repeated)
Mark 16:15-18 "He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." "
Here, I'm also pointing to the tongues part.
- Acts 10:38. "how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him."
In the same way, God's sons and daughters can also be anointed with the Holy Spirit and power, following Jesus' footsteps. They can heal and cast out demons, only because God allowed them to, because all these are done in the name of Jesus. Have you ever heard of anyone saying that they can do what Jesus did without any help? No right? God works through these people so that more people can be healed. And finally...
3. The Gift of Tongues
About spiritual gifts
1 Corinthians 12:8-10,
To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
Underlined are the spiritual gifts. A question. Why are spiritual gifts given?
The spiritual gifts are not given for selfish reasons but to serve and bless others as well as strengthen the church and our relationship with God.
1 Corinthians 12:7 "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good."
About the gift of tongues.
Actually the whole of 1 Corinthians 14 is about that. But I'll pick a few here...
a)Who should speak in tongues?
Paul wants all believers to speak in tongues.
it's in verse 5 and quite straightforward. The prophecy part is a totally different thing which I will not be covering.
b)How often should one speak in tongues?
Paul spoke in tongues very often, so should we.
verse 18, "I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you."
If he was against tongues he wouldn't be speaking so much of it, haha.
c)What if one doesn't speak in tongues?
Well, do not stop other believers from speaking in tongues. It's stated in the same book and chapter,
verse 39, "Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and ,do not forbid speaking in tongues."
d) When should we use the gift of tongues?
Actually, there are two ways of using it.
i. For personal prayer and devotion. Using it as a kind of prayer language, it will improve one's relationship with God. He understands what one is speaking although it might sound rubbish.
verse 2 & 4 "For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit." and "He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself"
ii. As a gift of the Spirit in the worship service or in church. It must be interpreted and used in an orderly manner. Like in my church, we pray in tongues very frequently. It somehow strengthens prayers and the presence of God is like, felt more strongly.
verse 28, "If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God."
I have typed out 95% of what I know and feel about the 3 topics. And I spent... more than 2 hours? It's all worth it. God's word. I hope I didn't type this for nothing. And, I'm assuming that if you're reading this, you've read everything above. Won't want to type for the pixels to read cos' they ain't living.
As for pentacostal churches... I have no reason to be against them. In fact I am FOR them =)
Comments welcome.

The planet is shaking! Literally... not.
It's the concert la... to go or not to go?
Christel sent out an email to the worship team and her cell..
Raphael's asking to go..
A lot of people are talking about it in school.
But, we have like 2 tests after this Planetshakers thing.
Go or don't go??
Bought new blusher. Haha.. My old one broke.
Speaking of beaking things, one of my test tubes was broken by someone. From banded classes manybe. Now i only have like 3 test tubes left. Great. Just great. How am I going to do practical with just 3 test tubes?
Common tests are scaring the hell outta me again.
Oh man... Chemistry! The QA is a killer.
Geography is cool but there's too many things to remember, lols...
Plate tectonics. Faults, plate boundaries, vulcanism, earthquakes, etc..
MUSIC. More composing and history.. Instruments of the orchestra, ...
Chinese have tian xie han zi! I thought they'll follow the new o'level format, without the writing of han zi?
For English, oral presentation, give a speech.
What on earth am i going to talk about la pls.
Oh and, me being the birthday person in the cell group,
forgot to check for birthdays in July!
Actually there's 2 but 1 stopped coming for very long, so it's Daryl I have to plan something for. His birthday is like, last last week. Haha oops.
(Okay I should try and stop reflecting on how lazy I am and just take out my books and revise.)
Last week, this week and next week...
For 15 days, it has been/it's gonna be something to do with music after school.
Handbell's taking up 80% of my after-school hours.
10% goes to o'level music lessons, and the rest, piano lessons.
EVERY WEEKDAY LEH! While my band's out together I have to face the music (literally), and not being able to touch bass.
I heard from Joanne, that the new piano syllabus is going to be a lot harder.
Like, grade 6 will play grade 7 pieces, grade 7 play grade 8..
I'm taking grade 8 next year.
SO DOES THAT MEAN I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PLAY DIPLOMA STANDARD???
Please tell me it's not true.
Hello, I'm already struggling with grade 7...
Isn't it as good as skipping one grade? ABRSM what are you doing??
One good thing though...
(you've read my complaints)
Symphony of Praise, or SOP, is next Saturday.
That means handbells can stop after next week! I'll be free on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays until maybe November when we'll start practicing for SYF.
We're one of the earliest CCA groups to stop CCA to prepare for EOYs =)
Now, YOU who are reading this...
have you bought your ticket to the concert?
I'm performing you know! Hahaha okay.
The cheapest ones are selling fast, so
hurry up. Whilestocks tickets last.
It's the concert la... to go or not to go?

my cell group rocks =)
nothing much today...
played the piano for a damn long time, all the very expressive and emo songs, haha.
and went to get new contacts!
mum says my ex-neighbour, who's also my optition, is the only one who sells lenses pairs. yep, no need to get one box. 1 pair for $10. woot and this brand is alot more comfortable than my old one =)
Boon Yeow was the speaker for Youth Ablaze...
topic: peer pressure.
so basically there are positive and negative pressure..
you know how much we hate the feeling of being rejected, it's human nature to want to feel accepted. and sometimes if you don't give in, you'd be the subject of gossips.
peer pressure includes gossipping.
okay i admit i've been doing that though i told myself i wouldn't.
i wanted to go up for altar call but didn't.
... ...
negative peer pressure can lead to devastating results.
-anger, vulgarities, porn, theft, drugs, pre-marital sex, etc.
Exodus 23:2 states...
Don't go along with the crowd ...... just to please the crowd
positive peer pressure can influence us to do good.
how do we know whether it's good or bad?
in difficult times, positive peer pressure prevails.
Hebrews 10:24,
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
Romans 12:2,
... and do not be conformed to this world.
know your personal conviction
-give in to the crowd?
or
-stand up for what you believe in?
after service,
Joe, Clarissa, Joshua, Smarties, Daryl and i went to compass point, BK.
it was supposed to be dinner as a cell but sadly not everyone could make it.
Joe drove us there. his car is so cute! Joshua sat in in front and the rest of us were squashed at the back. so much for having a cute car =/
talked about, rather orbit stuff.
the guys have alot to joke about. haha..
one of the topics was their horrible cooking.
Smarties as usual la, keep suanning me...
PL isn't Pure L______ okay!

Clarissa's DM is a police, isn't that cool? North Vista's..
yeah then Joe and Smarties entertained us with their lame but logical riddles.
haha..

i didn't have enough so i just went there hoping to get one.
yuhui even helped me bang it.
but the thing just wouldn't come out. !@#$%(=(*U$6
why put it in the toilet when it's not even working... lol.
my eye was like, super pain this morning...
wanted to rinse the lens with the solution.
but then, i got quite a shock
a small hole in the lens.
i stupidly put it back into my eye cos' i thought it'd be hard to see without one side.
so the lens gave more problems...
until bio lesson...
it dropped out.
so i had half-vision for the rest of the morning, afternoon and early evening.
it's weird, one eye's blurry and the other's clear.
haha.. but suprisingly i had no problem reading the scores during cca.
literally closed one eye about the 'no eating outside the canteen' rule.
sshhhhhhh... skittles are simply addictive!
maths quiz...
quit thinking about it, just wait for results.
poa rocks stones and pebbles ;)
i do miss Ms Ang..
SS lessons now are like so,... no comments.
don't really understand alot of stuff.
Ms Ang!!!!!!!! ...
missed SI!! argh.
haha i think i'd need someone to update me on that..
cause, i'm not allowed to watch tv, jam, plug the cable into the amp, be out of the house, have meals outside with my friends.
don't you just love my life.
/i think PaulThreemountains Twohill will go far.
though his hair is a little irritating.. like some pirate? haha.
oh yarrrrr
you know the music group people are supposed to sell at least two tickets...
or buy for someone...
parents not sure if they can make it..
friends,
cannot confirm, "see first", "see whether i have money or not", "it will be boring la", "the tickets very expensive".
later Mrs Wong or Ms Goh come after me then die already la.
but nobody wants to buy lor!!!!
what can i do right...
unless YOU tell me you want. haha.

but the thing just wouldn't come out. !@#$%(=(*U$6
why put it in the toilet when it's not even working... lol.
my eye was like, super pain this morning...
wanted to rinse the lens with the solution.
but then, i got quite a shock
a small hole in the lens.
i stupidly put it back into my eye cos' i thought it'd be hard to see without one side.
so the lens gave more problems...
until bio lesson...
it dropped out.
so i had half-vision for the rest of the morning, afternoon and early evening.
it's weird, one eye's blurry and the other's clear.
haha.. but suprisingly i had no problem reading the scores during cca.
literally closed one eye about the 'no eating outside the canteen' rule.
sshhhhhhh... skittles are simply addictive!
maths quiz...
quit thinking about it, just wait for results.
poa rocks stones and pebbles ;)
i do miss Ms Ang..
SS lessons now are like so,... no comments.
don't really understand alot of stuff.
Ms Ang!!!!!!!! ...
missed SI!! argh.
haha i think i'd need someone to update me on that..
cause, i'm not allowed to watch tv, jam, plug the cable into the amp, be out of the house, have meals outside with my friends.
don't you just love my life.
/i think Paul
though his hair is a little irritating.. like some pirate? haha.
oh yarrrrr
you know the music group people are supposed to sell at least two tickets...
or buy for someone...
all the other sec 2 and 3 handbellers paid up.
i was the ONLY ONE who didn't manage to do it!parents not sure if they can make it..
friends,
cannot confirm, "see first", "see whether i have money or not", "it will be boring la", "the tickets very expensive".
later Mrs Wong or Ms Goh come after me then die already la.
but nobody wants to buy lor!!!!
what can i do right...
unless YOU tell me you want. haha.
go to Wanyi's blog for details of the concert.

aack, long post.
oh gawd i feel like some spammer.
apparently there was this bulletin on friendster, with a url.
i clicked on it, and then blah blah blah...
and BOOM
i 'spammed' the boards!
didn't intend to ok! don't get tricked like me hor...
this will be a warning too.
you know what? obviously you don't.
but prata blingers know cos' i told them.
i realised Smarties and Raphael have some things in common...
they're in sec 3, they're Christians, they look alike from far (damn alike ok), they play instruments, they both use "ha" in their smses!!!!
kinda freaky, i only realised that while clearing my inbox.
BUT,
Raphael's "ha" is always followed by ".."
whereas Smarties' "ha" is just one "."
(looks like a face. lol!)
the ha-s are driving me nuts!
HAHAHAHAHA
omg omg. joyce, stop ha-ing.
monday's workshop on managing teams...
i stoned in the canteen with Sheila for more than an hour.
before that, i wanted to eat ice-cream.
went out to check. the uncle left already.
ok, nvm...
checked out the computer lab.
not open!!!!! RAHRRR.
and the library was out of bounds to students.
sec 4s and some sec 3s were having o'levels in Jireh block.
which meant we were left with, the bird shit-infested canteen.
wonderful. how very pleasant.
and then it was 3.20, the trainers from the other workshop told us ours was cancelled.
we were lost la, cos' there wasn't any notice. the announcement had been made before that the workshop was going on after school.
to cut the long story short...
trainer was sick and nobody replaced him.
Ms Kok got kinda mad.
(i pity her... have to email everyone to send reminders here and there, reschedule dates and deal with sick trainers.)
(oh yeah, beach cleaning reflection, due at the start of the term, I STILL OWE MISS LIANG MINE! lols... i bet nobody remembered anyway)
yar so it was like, i stoned for so long, waiting for time to pass...
bearing with the birds...
and then they say the trainer sick cannot come!!!
what else could we do, go home lor.
but i didn't la. met the 3 Lings and took 136 with them,
then delivered drinks to Priscilla and Joey at the DPS playground.
see, i'm so nice. haha..
so that's monday.
you know what? obviously you don't.
if you do everything without complaining or arguing,
and work at whatever you're doing with all your heart,
(that's somewhere in the bible, i can't rmb)
things are actually alot easier and better.
your life becomes more, for lack of a better word, happy.
i know of people who basically complain about EVERYTHING.
as long as there's something to complain about.
and, well this kinda irritates people.
you cant expect everything to be perfect right?
you can't expect everything to be done your way.
make the most out of difficult situations instead of grumbling and wasting your breath.
if you'd grumble less about the hot weather and stuff,
trust me... you will enjoy life.
new handbell exco to be announced 12 hours later.
ha ha, how exciting.
i'm feeling neutral. like totally no feeling about it.
i don't even know whether i want to be in.
i guess the answer is no?
so stressful leh. lols..
i hope i'm not in can... then can continue to be late for CCA!
joking la wanyi, relax =P
don't you just love lit lessons?
they can be fun if you respond or at least act enthu.
i pity miss Dong leh... can see that she's trying her best to make lessons as enjoyable as possible. sadly, our classmates do not seem to have the slightest interest.
gosh why am i pitying the teachers...
oh yeah pity Mrs Chong too..
we keep missing 4/5 of Monday's chemistry lessons.
because they always drag Monday assemblies...
so by the time everyone settles down, there's only a few minutes left.
"er, mrs chong, it's five minutes to recess."
hahahahahaha!

Hui Ling, Man Ling, Ling Ying, Preethi, me, Ethel
sec 3s after the 37th International Physics Olympiad performance at NTU, back in the handbell room where you can see the old and new cusions in the background.
there were so many people!!!! kinda freaky but it was just another handbell performance for me. i mean, performing for the 3rd year leh. wahahah..
the press was there! but they didn't film us. lol.
captain jack went to singapore
supposed to wake up at 2.30am. in the end.. overslept and woke up at 7.45! so cabbed down to pathlight school for autistic kids. ran a carnival there for them.
actually these kids are just normal kids. just that some of them are really scary. haha you can't expect much from a child with autism right..
Clare said their 'pathlight song' sounds better than our school song.
luckily Ms Yoong didn't hear it. she was damn near .
yup so for our station, the kids had to put their hand into the pail of flour and fish out as many marbles as they could.
unfortunately many can't understand "feel for the marbles and put it on the plate"
some just grabbed a whole handful of flour and threw it on the plate.
you know the result.
mess.
the queue was so long la... cos those playing were taking a long time.
i was giving instructions to them, helping them cheat, encouraging them...
not easy leh! hahaha but mission accomplished =)
lunch was at serangoon gardens for my band.
haha spent a lot of time at the bus stop.
and then my tuition teacher called to say she couldn't come!
busy with her school stuf! hahahahaha
can you imagine how glad i was
plus my whole family wasn't at home.
so nice sia!
yup we did some stuff... which, again, i cannot go into detail though i'd very much like to.
the singing was very nice la, felt as if we were some angels singing for God.
starting to like Came To The Rescue all over again =)
nice to sing, nice to play.
Lord all I am is Yours
...
I called, You answered. You came to my rescue
And I wanna be where You are
ahhhh Sarah the cake was damn nice! banana and chocolate. Mmmm i'm craving for more! how come suddenly have cake arh.
band played blind mice.
the kids took a long time to shoo off the playground.
they were so vulgar and rough!
push here punch there...
they were funny though.
"how old are you?"
"9 years old"
"you 9 yrs old he 8 yrs old then why you don't dare to punch him?"
"he fatter mah"
lol that was cute... but overall, ANNOYING!
they just ran around chasing each other and 'wrestling'...
so that cut down our time and only had a few minutes to play...
rushed off to the mrt station, missed a train -.-
we arrived at bedok quite late. should have just took 25 or 854 there la!
so much faster! haha
met up with Michelle and Christabel's cell and watched Pirates of the Carribbean!
they paid for everything so i don't feel very good about it.
and then reached home late.
that movie...
is freaking funny!
HAHAHAHAHA.
costume
choker
makeup
gloves
heels
one performance alone have to have so many things.
i dunno where my makeup is. must wake up early to find!
this is some International Physics Olympiad at NTU
formal event and we're only playing for them while they enjoy their food.
rahrr rahrr
if i don't sleep now i'm going to sub alone though i have no idea how

packed like sardines?
I Write The Songs - Barry Manilow
I've been alive forever,
and I wrote the very first song.
I put the words and the melodies together,
I am music,
and I write the songs.
I write the songs that make the whole world sing.
I write the songs of love and special things.
I write the songs that make the young girls cry.
I write the songs, I write the songs.
My home lies deep within you,
and I've got my own place in your sole.
Now, when I look out through your eyes,
I'm young again, even though I'm very old.
I write the songs that make the whole world sing.
I write the songs of love and special things.
I write the songs that make the young girls cry.
I write the songs, I write the songs.
Oh my music makes you dance
and gives your spirit to take a chance,
and I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move.
Music fills your heart, well, that's a real fine place to start.
It's from me it's for you, it's from you, it's from me,
it's a world wide symphony.
this song... excellent music, freaky lyrics.
if you look from another point of view, from the evil one...
better not go on. later kena sued.
chapel really jabbed me today.
we are living in a world where music is playing a big role in most of our lives...
somwtimes we are not aware, but many songs are about
drugs, sex, adultery, satanism, evil, rebellion, etc.
and that Satan is trying to use this kind of music to influence and destroy us.
i will never ever allow that to happen, at least to people i know.
totally freaked me out, those lyrics the pastor showed us..
like so omg.
alot of things he mentioned, even those about the bands...
i'm going to be extra careful about what kind of songs we listen to, sing and play.
the lyrics. (need to analyse also lor)
have to be ultra sensitive to lyrics now.
IF ever, prata blingers want to jam those kind of songs
i will just go away until they're done with it.
although i'd very much like to turn off all the mics and amps instead.
now i know why the school was so particular about the songs for the music marathon.
God should still be our main focus.
at least that's that for me,
in the midst of all these, jamming and minor conflicts among our level.
all my praise goes out to Him,
i'm coming back to the heart of worship cause it's all about Him.
it's all about Jesus and nothing else.

all the stars have disappeared
for some things...
i simply canNOT continue to pretend.
we know ok.
how many times must we say,
keep quiet and move on?
why must you keep pursuing the matter?
as if our blogs aren't enough,
why make this bigger by publicising elsewhere?
i thought you wanted to move on too?
what else do you want la... an apology on all our blogs?
can you relax? please give us a break ok.
our 'reputation' is going to be ruined la.
thanks ALOT sia.
like we're so GRATEFUL.
today... my living room was converted into a cheapo jamming studio.
bass, normal guitar, piano, yellow pages (if you get what i mean)
hahaha.. my house is indeed the noisiest unit in the block
one day you'll see police at my door.
taught/showed Stacey The Time Has Come bass,
and Pris, the electric guitar solo on the piano.
we're making some progress
Joey and I are stuck at the bridge. haha.
by the time Sarah came, which was late,
i was already getting ready to chiong for piano lesson.
she missed all the earlier 'jamming', lols.
i joined the rest of them at the playground after lesson
to play blind mice.
straightaway pasang lor! you all damn nice la...
walk all the way there only to end up as your bling mouse!
haha but we had fun =) put away all the disturbing stuff for awhile.
and then i did the graph with Joey.
and we discussed and talked about quite a number of things,
which i will obviously not go into detail, cause
this is the internet man, you'll never know who's reading your blog.
and we have the most unexpected visitors.
anyway, there's something new to look forward to now.
which requires tremendous effort from all of us.
time to search for chords and tabs again.
i still love 3c2 =)
as always.

gosh filch i love you
Smarties and his stupid cheeky look.
stop distracting me during cell ok!
your drumsticks will come soon la but if you continue to suan me,
then say bye to them! lol..
i've been bassing a LOT recently..
so much so that i forget my fingers also work well on the piano.
i can do a 2-hr piano marathon alone man :D
keyboarding is fun, just not as fun as bassing. haha!
my chords can go from thick and complicated to thin and simple.
that day we had practical test for music
i screwed alot la! wth. got a B. 1st time got sth lower than A.
thank you Sarah for the seaweed!
hahaha you won't use your phone for TEN years la please :D
gotta rush through chinese homework. some music marathon reflection... i'm so hating it.
oh by the way,
remember, we were praying as a band before we went on stage?
i told God that whatever we played that day was going to be for God and Him alone.
so if He isn't unhappy with our performance, we shouldn't too. =)
looking back at the worship rosters
i realised that i've been stuck in Team 1 since they started grouping the vocalists.
all the past Team oners have since been regrouped. some in Team 2, 3.
fyi, they always regroup the vocalists.

Saturday, July 08, 2006
wah i can finally come online after so long
basically there is just too much to say la
i'm trying to cut down as much as possible.
worship team vocalists...
regrouped again!! sighs. i've been in the same team as Grace (Quek)
for like more than a year?!
and now we're separated. =(
so i'm grouped with Joel and Jia Yan.
yeah all Js, how cool... not.
Grace!!!!! .
there's alot going through my mind..
i'm like, conflicted.
alright.
firstly, i'm being held back by alot of things la.
commitments, conscience, studies, class, parents...
sometimes i get tired just thinking of it.
i dunno la...
and this can't affect me too much
she doesn't look like that kind to me
and neither do i think she's totally innocent.
just this should be ok la..
what excatly i'm talking about,
i can't go into detail.
this is the internet man. it's public.
you'll never know who's reading your blog.
so it's back to the original,
let go and let God.
secondly, i think i'm like, alot further from God now.
i'm not reading the bible and praying as often as before.
discipline and commitment
c'mon joyce, He's waiting for you.
thirdly, well...
R's bass has lots of scratches!!
not one, but quite a few...
HOW am i going to answer to him la..?
he trusted me with his antique bass and now i'm returning it
with marks and scratches??
i feel like shit pls..
and fourth..
it's written all over priscilla and joey's blogs.
i don't have to repeat them. same thoughts.
they hit the nail.
but after thinking a bit,
i've come to this conclusion...
who are we to stop you.
go ahead and do what you want la.
everyone's busy, yeah.
but only the jam, that's all we're asking.
i know you feel odd.
but who's stopping you from banging on the instruments?
it's hard to let go you know.
everything from the first jam to last month,
they've left a deep mark in us.
if it's gonna be a goodbye...
if it's gonna be a huge gap between us...
i guess we'll just have to make do with it.
it's not the end of the world yet.

Mrs Tng
for entertaining all our requests
Ms Ang
for her strong support for us... even though everyone knew the performance sucked to the core.. she was there to encourage and cheer for us.
group members
it was great working with you. you all sang well.. just not loud enough.
this teacher just spoilt the whole thing la... if not for the sound system, we could have performed well.
ya i know the vocalists were all off-key.
that's cos they couldn't hear properly.
cos the sound sucks.
cos they didn't provide amps and we had to use a pathetic practice amp which was so not performance standard but what choice did we have right...
so this teacher said it was noise and wasn't even music and some crap, and she just LAUGHED at us. like walau, you cannot find a meaner teacher anywhere lor. i mean, hey you want us to do well at least let us do the BASIC thing, sound check. cannot check just play like that of course CMI la. what else you want? and we spent altogether dunno how much money on jamming for over a month for this music marathon shit and they told us they took away our other half-hour slot. you tell me how not to cry... we spent SO much time and effort for this, and we get mocked by this teacher. you so smart go play for 90 hours yourself la. couldn't be bothered to go back for the closing ceremony.
walked alot...
forgot walk to excatly where after lunch. Sarah's dad brought back her stuff so she had nothing to carry la..
walau i had to carry a bass amp and bass around, somemore walked for so darn long.
if not for Tim who carried the amp around, i could have died halfway.
cos when he went off i had to carry both the amp and the bass myself which totally killed me la..
Terence can really SHOOT and shoot.
"shut up la"
"shut up? why cannot shut down? i like middle"
alot of crap lor he can just own you with his crappiness.
too much to type.
today's night jamming was one of the best.
we just played and sang our hearts out.
even attempted to play new songs, which still can pass la
haha.
Wee Lee is a good place to show off.
there was this guy who sat outside the studio observing us for quite awhile.
when we got out of Wee Lee, he was sitting at the table.
then he asked us where we a going and he wanted to chat.
so ok lor went for milo bling.
wah this guy is like friendless.. his life quite miserable lor.
dunno what first time approaching a group of girls.
.........
and he praised our band for our attitude.
(he's not the first one to praise us in that area.)
he kinda gave us advice on bands and stuff...
yeah. and he said don't quit school cos it's not worth it.
see, i'm not the only one who says that so don't even think about dropping out of school.
get for her also no use la. waste your money only. she doesn't appreciate it. you shouldn't have done it.
here's a couple of people i want to thank:
all who came to support us today
really want to thank you for coming down..
Timothy and Terence
for being such a great help.. drums, bass and electric guitar teachers. we would never have done it without you guys, really...
Michelle and her band
for giving us such great support and making us feel good abt ourselves... and all the good advice..
Raphael?

wasted one satay
new discovery:
we have very unexpected visitors... dory, whoever you are, i know you're reading this... he/she's just one of them. i know there are others. haha. so i guess we just have to watch what we type?
yesterday's/saturday's performance...
for me, everything was just, impromptu. bassed according to the chords. think it just sucks la... the sound quality was like crap can.. i'm sure it'll be better later (or, tomorrow).
today's a happy day la haha.
our last and final practice for the big thing...
Raphael didn't turn up -.-
say want to come then never come! hurrrr.
and Priscilla wasn't with us too. =(
so, Joey, Stacey, Sarah and i went to Fourtones damn early.
and slept there for 1.5hrs. yeah lesson learnt... don't come too early cos Fourtones isn't a good place to sleep at. how to sleep when the whole place is vibrating all the time la you tell me.
jam was good...
"y'all are ready for your performance"
as quoted by Timothy.
we will rock the place... if our group members get high with us.
which is most unlikely.
but who cares right? the stage people get high good enough la!
LOLS.
then Sarah got her distortion pedal.
(just now, on the train, she was like examining it
touching it here and there.
until she remembered Terence stepped on it before. lol!)
ended the jam at nine plus...
went to lau pa sat to eat and crap :D
Terence was ya-ing to everything.
*someone says something*
"ya ya ya ya ya!"
oh whatever! haha.
interesting topic: pairing up desperate people
this couple was incredibly pei4.
hahaha.. and some people can spell really well
(note sarcasm)
i can show you.. it's hilarious.
gosh i sound mean...
ok there's only one thing left.
Raphael better wake up early tmr.
STACEY AND I NEED THE STRAP FOR THE BASS
we are so NOT going to be bassing on a chair, for goodness' sake.
have a great morning :)
