get in tune with my life
these two days were very very long.
yesterday was out whole day. after school a bit more practice with the singing and us choir guides were off to the conrad hotel. THAT PLACE IS GORGEOUS!! so many photographic opportunites and i didn't bring my cam!! arggh! was part of the GOH when the president walked in slowly. saw eunice olsen and she was super skinny. there were lots of waiting. we sang our items really well and we went back to school at around 11 pm.
today woke up early for NDP practice. we did stationary drill today. marching with marching boots is entirely different than marching with school shoes. haven't really got used to it. wasn't really marching to my best yet. did a bit of marching around the carpark and it was really fun. and boy did time pass very fast. went junction 8 to have lunch with the guides :) then went down to bukit batok for laser quest. started off with bowling then went to laser quest. both of them were equally fun and the laser quest got the adrenaline pumped. went to play captain's ball but went back because of the rain. hanged around until the bus came and took us back to bnss. met some of the GB girls and got to know them better. they were more open now at least:) went dinner with karen and dione and we chatted a lot and abt sth(shhhhhh....). yup it's a secret.
hello to the faithful readers of my blog! (and the other people reading this of course)
fri- 23 march really l o n g day today. after sch trained sec 1s again. the 2 sec ones i took is really good! they picked up the basics really fast but they kept horse kicking like mad. they constantly need reminders. soon the sec 1s can do porch and we seniors can relax... porch is fun anyway. then went out for dinner with filza and ariel at parkway. rushed back to school for arts excursion. went to national library to watch a play called 'titoudao'. was really funny anyway. went back at 11pm
sat- 24 march ALL 6 OF US GUIDES GOT INTO THE IRELAND INTERNATIONAL GG CAMP?!!! OMG. anyway, went for NDP selection at GG HQ. saw some army people there, standards are high. wasn't really confident whether i could get in. but i got in. i can't believe i passed the army standard. so did filza, annabelle, jillian and carmen. went back home. the weather is soo hot, perfect for sleeping. did some hw.
sun- 25 march BB & GB enrolment service today. the fengshan primary boys are so kawaii!! mixed around with the GB girls. got to know jovy, michelle, and ?????(arggh!! i forgot her name) they were very quiet. very very extremely quiet. went home to slack and do the rest of my hw.
mon- 26 march singing for the school was so embarrassing. no microphones so we had to sing extra loud but not loud enough. at least that was for the lower sec. tmr's upper sec and i know some unkind people are going to mock at us.
today my predictions were correct. i shall not mention names. i feel like jamming but got no crew :( anybody wanna go? we'll go one day :).
yu sheng done by my auntie during CNY. yum!! naomi, my really adorable cousin sooo cute!! zachary sleeping (is that how u spell his name?) auntie ginny's son:)
me absailing during sec 3 camp ohh!! this took place in dec :) surprise, surprise. aditional $300 for my team yay!! my team got $500. sabby looking like a ghost. i wonder how it came out like that.
my gg uniform right sleeve!! the dicovery of making a swan out of can!! can craft! the sky in the morning today! victory! grace cheah expresses the joy of overcoming the fear of heights :)
i lost this whistle of mine in guide house :(

photog duty for the oratorical competition. had fun. stayed back to train sec 1s in marching, at the same time brushing up my drill for this sat NDP selection. came back for piano lesson. need more time to practice.
back again!! sorry ah... very busy these days so dun have a lot of time to blog. this is what happened these few days.
fri- 2nd march no results yet. stayed back for book and music week preparations. was teaching the sec ones to do some gadgets. was not really effective they had to wait to try it themselves. put up quite a number of exhibits. it was pouring with strong winds so us seniors got wet trying to suspend it from the gallery.
sat- 3rd march guides meeting as usual. practicing for the east division campfire. i have to lead 2 songs on the actual day. nothing much today but a lot of spring cleaning.
sun-4th march went church early as me mum and dad got ushering. did a theory paper at coffee bean before going in for service. after service went to susan's house for CK thanksgiving. went home after that.
mon -5th march back to sch as usual. piano lesson today doing theory all day. this is the last week i'm doing theory and it's the last lap. mervin sent over some planet shakers songs. thanks bro!! they are really nice :)
tues to fri- 6th to 9th march results! not really good. but there were some good points here's the summary:
eng: B3 chinese: B4 (finally!!!!:):):):)) physics: A1 chemistry: A1 literature: B3 com human: A1 e math: B4 a math: C5 biology: A2
class position: 15/42 M.S.G: 2.7 (expected: 3.1)
well thank God anyway:) a lot of improvement expecially my chinese but at the expense of A math.so is physics at the expense of e math. broke the record of a's in my maths all these years :( oh well, the most get good progress award later and study harder and get an A 'cause, to tell u the truth, i didn't really study my maths due to the other subjects :P. topped the class in all three sciences :))
tues-stayed back for BMW prep. did the gadgets for the model castles of the renaissence. yup, the theme for this years BMW is the renaissence. covered quite a bit of work.
sat-10th march THE D-DAY. stayed for the whole 3 hours for the piano theory exam. i didn't really think i needed 3 hours to check and do everything. the transposition for the clarinet was weird and what is dolce cantando?? God really helped me by keeping me calm unlike every theory exam where i tense up. oh well, its over. i can't do anything to change it. went to celebrate my mum's birthday in advance. had crab :) yums.
sunday-11th march church today :) the sermon really woke me up a little. it was as if the words were for me. i feel a little guilty not sharing the gospel with the right attitude. so ya, change for the better :)
mon-12march happy birthday mum!!! spent nearly the whole day with my mum:) slack, go out etc... english supplimentary in the morning though. figured out how to make a swan out of a can :)
tues- 13th march went to watch the pursuit of happyness. very very nice!! really sad. go and watch it! i encourage u :) went to cut my hair too. finally have the time. the hardresser cut off a whole lot of my hair, it was one dust pan full of those protein chains :P
wed-14th march pulau ubin cycling. really missed cycling. went with dione, sheryl, andrea, crystal, ashley, zhi hao and me bro. i dun know how it happened but dion slipped and skinned her arm on the bus. my bro was the navigator there and we had a whole lot of fun on the dirt track despite crystal and sheryl being scared of stray dogs (and boy there were a lot on the island), zhi hao drifting and fell at the steep down slope, couple of scratches on his arm(ouch!) went to the old orchid farm to see the wild boar and rabbits and guinea pigs. met some of sheryl's friends there.
thurs- 15th march guides campfire singing practice. leading 4 songs instead: father abraham, ginglee nona, gako the frog and the japanese doll song. the african version of flea fly was a tongue twister as the last part u go bid bilee o'en do'en boy boy bedid'en dat'en and u have to say it FAST. took me quite a while to catch it. more BMW prep. yong wei told me today to play keyboard tmr. but when i looked at the song list, i didn't know 2 songs. helppp!!!
fri- 16th march more singing today again. after that went parkway with some cousins and aunties. saw grace there:) went straight to tuition after that. then went to rush for cell to practice keyboard. yong wei made things a bit difficult by changing the key for 'it is well' to Bb major. a bit hard but manageable in the end. plus, i had no pedal so the playing wasn't that smooth.God really helped me though, could really feel his spirit. quite a bit of mistakes but not so noticable. some how, he was telling me what to play when i had to go solo while yong wei prayed and, the song i played somehow or another coincide with his prayer. like he was parying for unity in families and i was playing this church. he was praying about making ourselves living sacrifices and i was playing all i'm living for by planet shakers. (find the lyrics, then u know what i mean if u dun know these songs) really hard to explain.
today guides again. other guides came to our school to learn the campfire songs then they would go back to teach their company.met someone i haven't seen in a really long time: rachel ho. she's my primary school friend that got a hole in her heart and i didn't know what happened after that. chatted for a lil while.came back and slept. i was so tired. woke up to find dinner on the table :P
exams are finally over!!!! (and so is the term soon). had exams for the past week so i couldn't blog. so this what happened over the past week.
con't 18 feb went to my uncle's(mistake in previous entry) house for visitation at night. had the yu sheng and as usual was very nice. dinner with them and had a really long chat with sabby. as usual, my predictions were correct about my aunties (refer to the last entry, first paragraph)and i shall not talk (rather, type) whatever they told me which is not of my interest. saw and went to play with oh so cute Naomi!!! pics of her later. OMG! she is so adorable.
19 feb more visitations, hong baos and another steamboat for my mum's side at night. my room was invaded by little kids and i had no choice but to surrender. haha. more kids jumping on my bed :( i so dun like it.
20 feb went to auntie serena's house for my mum's visitation. got really bored then so went with kenneth, kendrick, me bro to SAFRA to meet karen and other youths. watched them bowling. wanted to bowl too but it was really expensive. arggh. ended going to the billard room with karen, jeremy, kun, zhi hao, kenneth and me bro. played a lil billard but we couldn't finished the game and we got pissed off hitting the balls so we left to go home.
21 feb a lot of homework not done due to the slacking for the past three days. got a wee bit of scolding that wasn't so bad as majority of the people didn't do it too. last minute thinking day practice. was ok.
22 feb HAPPY THINKING DAY TO ALL GUIDES :) was in full GG uniform today. some people's comments and conversations:
elaine: have u been doing ure thinking today? me: i think i did during the english exam. :P
andrea: u look so kawaii!!!
grace song: u should tie 2 plaits more often :P me: how about u? grace:eh, no. me: let's make a deal, let's tie 2 plaits on one of the days together grace: nooooooo!!!! me: :D:D
pattra: i like the guides uniform!!!
vania: how did u manage to change into that from PE lesson? me: *wink* lil training during guides camp where we change in the tents.
no orchid hybridnization today :(
23 feb bio and SS exam. i still thank God :)all were ok but i dun think i'll score very well for SS. i hate structured essay questions. went for chiese tuition after that. then went straight for the CNY party in cell. had a really fun time being in group 3. we got 2nd :). went back really late.
24 feb didn't go to guides today because of PCR (polymearese chain reaction) compulsory for bio students. we were doing sth like forensic science. it was soooooooo cool!!!! we used the digital pipette, microcentrifuge(a lil machine that spins things so quickly so that they settle down) and the PCR machine(amplifies the DNA to make more chains of it). went home after that to prepare another steamboat for my mum and dad's old cell (that is, auntie serena and uncle roland's G12) was running around the house doing stuff before and after eating. my duties: look after kids, top up chilli, serve whatever the steamboat needed, refill the CNY cookie box. there was only karen, jeremy, zhi hao and zhi yun there. tried irsh cream with a hint of mint chocolate that my dad opened. i tried a sip of concentrated stuff and coughed with the alcohol. it tasted a whole lot better diluted with milo :).
25 feb church as usual. had the worship team auditions today. was freezing in service today somehow. me poor fingers were a lil numb. there were 3 keyboardists there :) when jeff ang started to talk to us, then i realised that it wasn't an audition to get in the worship team, it was an audition to put us on stage. that was too sudden. when i went for the orientation christabell said it was 2-3 years training and mine isn't past one year. too fast man. but they haven't deceided when to put us up. so i guess that's fine. jeff and said i was ok and my rhythm was fine (surprisingly)
26 feb lit and E geog exam. thank God for letting me write fast and to let thoughts flow it was ok lah. 2nd and final session of PCR. sooooo fun again. we got our results and suspect c was the culprit :).
27 feb chem exam was quite average. thank God for helping me:) nothing much today except studying for the next day's test
28 feb *sobs* didn't mangage to complete 4 a math questions. chinese was ok. thank goodness there wasn't any compre or else i'd die. thank God though for helping me a lot for chinese and helping me remember the formulas for a math.
today e math and physics. couldn't finish it as well. was stuck at 2 questions. physics was quite ok. thank u Lord for letting me borrow a bit of ure memory :)
He never sleeps He never slumbers He never tires of hearing our prayer when we are weak He becomes stronger so rest in His arms and cast all ure cares on Him :)
I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.
Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.
The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love, it makes true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.
* bible verse of the week *
Hebrews 12:11
No discipline seems pleasent at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
