its a really nice song, and i hope we can pull it off.

oh well. nothing more to post.

hi.

ALONE IN THIS WORLD. AND JUST FADING INTO OBSCURITY.

today after-school really sucked =x
least the choir's coping better with 'happy together'
glad =)

omg ah boy your secret is revealed! tuanboon will haunt you for a long time coming....
hehehhhehheh...
that was the wrongest sentence to ever say...whoops.

was (expletive) angry with myself thereafter...P-I-S-S-E-D.
like what the (expletive)? bloody mood swings.
sometimes i feel like i can change the world
at others i feel like life's mockery
like nobody likes me
like i'm here because i am nothing more.
just a scab. a wound people are desperate to get rid of.
end of story.
----------------------------------------------------------
alone...in this world.
guess it's fate.

surviving in this world, impossible
at this rate.

TUES: went to help the choir again. jerry and ah-boy (eugene jr) LOLS. such pervs =x. oh well. this time there were more alumni (like me) to aid the students. not that good, but least its better thn friday...

tried kasar. didn't work as we'd hoped. nvm. lets try 'stand by me'.

whoops. we flopped.

therefore whn the alums had a small combined at 7pm, we decided in a change of song (won't tell yet. dun complain =D)

later went with tb/ kok leong/ jerrold/ michelle to tm, and finally to e pasar malam nearby. OMG the chicken chop and thighs were AWESOME!!! =xx

kay thn went home with tb. end of fairytale.

THURS: a birthday picnic by the beach. me/ tb/ zibin/ lydia/alvin/weizhen/erika/yuling reached @ about 4pm. ate all the food before birthday girl came o.o
choc ice cream with tabasco, anyone?

i wouldn't need to mention alvin's luck, i guess. ( &$@$$%^##& )

FRI: CHOIR!!! darn it. my brother didn't make it through TT but nvm. i didn't either...
me/ kok leong/ jerrold/ han/ bryan were on hand to help those who suffered the same fate. we didn't accomplish much though...oh well nvm.

SAT: bazaar! larry/ zibin/ alvin/ weizhen/ amanda met to enjoy the day. i guess i bought too much tickets, cos i later brought home too many food items =x miss thong whyyy...
later went to tm's pasta mania for celebratory lunch...toys r us and finally mcdonald's...and we sat there for 4 hrs thru dinner o.o
basically bitching...ok thn went home.

helloo~

quite some actives this week. haha.

they include:

SUN -- miss thong's hse for CLASS GATHERING!! the wii was awesome. playing boxing extremely enthusiastically-KO-ed tb twice. in a row. no losses. whee~
had dinner later with some of them. went to the arcade with even less of them. taxi-ed home with larry tb and alvin. zibin and lydia cruised home on a 72. weizhen simply walked home (its hougang. lol)

TUES -- choir. it was audition day. yuling/ yuenching/ tb/ bryan/ kok leong/ and jerrold were there too. tht's some stress i've not seen in 2 yrs. mr toh's unusually calm today. bro's done well. 4 audits. wee soft, and uneasy on kasar, somewhat eclipsed. not bad for a sec 1. so well done =D
some were great/good/ok/off/toneless. let's leave it at that yeah? =p

WED -- went to granddad's place with uncle to repaint his house. an entire living room's worth. in the process found mum's many volleyball awards from '74-'77. wow. well it took 4.5 hrs to paint, hurting my arms.....didn't know mum got 3rd in the oratorical contest when she was in sec 4, 1979...made quite a 'joke' out of it...

well, i'm done. don't say i didn't update! =D

HAPPY VALENTINES' DAY <3

------------------------------------------

ahh crampcrampcrampcrampcramp... =x

ok from now on i'll post according to number, in this case roman numerals. and it'll all be in black. unless otherwise.

as per request (or demand =D) you know who you are.

basically life is uber mundane. open eyes, laptop, lunch, tv, laptop, dinner, laptop, sleep.
its drying my eyes out -.-
at least i've made my new model airplane, a Mitsubishi Zero-Sen A6M5c, complete with drop-tanks and rockets =)) very cool. now stands proudly alongside my Messerschmitt Bf-109E and Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Va. all that remains is my Vought F4U-1 Corsair (check wikipedia if you wanna know what the items in red are. heee)

see. now you know what my hobby-for-dry-eyes time is...

just yesterday i went to sakae (again) with tb, larry, alvin and weizhen. and i ate lunch (again). went to the arcade later. played initial-D. liked it, so played it (again) and (again)...
well thats my yesterday. don't complain.

ADVICE FOR SYF AUDITIONING (copy and paste if you wish)

Especially for those new to this sort of thing, heres some personal advice:

• DO NOT PANIC: yes, it sounds cliched and obvious, but then again, with about a hundred pairs of yes staring at you and your group, it becomes all too easy to get jelly-knees. And that fear can arouse the suspicion that you aren't prepared.
• PREPARE: while the other groups sing prior to your turn, listen intently and make sure any mistake that may be made will not be repeated by you. Look at your scores and look out for error-prone parts. Once your turn comes, the practice you've done weeks prior, as well as pre-auditing prep will come in handy.
• LOOK at the conductor and only the conductor while you sing: no referrals to scores or looking around--this will help you allay the 1st issue of panic.
• DON'T FOLLOW the other people in your group, especially if you realise their beating, tune, key etc. is wrong. Follow what you know is right--listen to yourself.
• CONTINUE even if you've made a mistake earlier: stopping implies that you lack confidence in your own ability and preparedness, and will also lead to the issue of panic.
• BE SERIOUS and take it as though you are performing; nothing is worse than fooling about the audition, as it determines whether you make the team, and will NOT be taken lightly.

This is based on my personal experience, and the fact that my brother is also to take part in this audition. Feel free to clarify with me any of the above issues.

---------------------------------------------------------

thanks. updated!

cheerio!~

Rewind...~

and as a result i missed many many things....

so (in this glorious, prosperous red) i shall rewind at least 12 days into a piece of my history...~

4D class chalet!~
----------------------
kay i shall go through this in a little detail. please bare with me...

15 Jan.

went with tuanboon and zibin to joel's hse to help haul some items to the costa sands chalet.
i shall not bore you with any more details.
later, mengxin, lydia, and erika arrived with assorted items.
in the end, we had to all squeeze into joel's dad's 5-seater (which was by the way pretty large)
to location.
pple began streaming in thereafter...
we rented bikes. and i paid for all 7 bikes. zibin still owes me $60.

emo-ed after losing in mahjong too many times, and so went to cycle round the carpark for 1 hour half (which i later regretted).
yinghong learns to ride a bike.

ms kwek came by and ate abit from the BBQ. she left quietly.
and yadda yadda yadda till midnight...

16 Jan

dammit. couldn't stay awake long enough. by 4am (after lotsa cycling) i was virtually a zombie.
slept upstairs where the air was cold. i was freezing when i woke up at 7. i went downstairs to sleep more. till noon in fact.

had lunch with tb, zb, daryl, and pris (who we sent off later). and basically slacked our time off in the chalet all aft. later 25 of us had dinner out @ JustAcia, but the guys, cash-strapped, decided to sneak off to KFC for dinner. much cheaper, they say.

moses brought his ps2 to the chalet. so played and played and played. later watched death note on laptops, and bitched and gossiped at pasir ris park @ 2am.

returned to chalet and played 'polar-bear'. rules are simple:

1) 2 pple are assigned 'polar bears'. 1 as 'hunter' and the rest as 'civilians'
2) polar bears 'kill' someone, and the hunter must convince, without exposing him/herself, that whoever are the polar bears are the polar bears.
3)game continues until: a] all civilians die;
b] hunter dies; or
c] polar bears die.
4) everyone is involved in the discussion. more of a game of psychology.

and i'm the dumbest hunter you can EVER hire.

17 Jan

this time managed to stay up all morning. and we actually had BBQ @ 4am! went in to cam whore till 6.30. almost everyone slept.

9am. simple: pack up and leave. had brunch with shirong and yinghong at noon.


---------------------------------
MISCELLANEOUS!~
-----------------------


19 Jan

20 Jan

anw, later had a long chat with ms thong. and it resulted us getting treated by her to mac! =] so cool...


21 Jan

went with tb, yinghong and shi rong to bugis street. after hours of hopeless, mindless browsing
finally got the item i want: a really cool watch =DDD
later they came to my place to watch random stuff and chat random stuff. that's all.

-------------------------------
MOVIE+DINNER (4D '08)!~
-------------------------------

22 Jan

went to orchard cineleisure with most of the class to watch 'changeling'. any movie reviews pls redirect to moses's blog ( http://hellobeautifulday.wordpress.com ).

had dinner later at some jap restaurant. serving was hearty, but i couldn't help myself in getting more. the desserts rock! :D

went back to tampines mac to chat with moses, sakshi, erika and tb b4 going home. a great day.

--------------------------------
MISCELLANEOUS (II)!~
--------------------------------

23 Jan

blah. my brother forgot to bring his choir scores so i had to bring it to school for him. and thus, i was late for badminton that aft. and my dad kept pestering me to get home to do hse cleaning. and got scolded. not really a good day x(

24-26 Jan

not good days either. is it me, or is everyone getting angry and unreasonable with every move i take. i'm an emo anti-social...and my dad passed the chance to allow us to play @ someone else's hse cos the adults were chatting until late. too late. arrrgggh! >< #$!#$*(...
