Music: At the Beginning - Richard Marx & Donna Lewis

I did one whole day of fries on sunday, believe it or not. Therefore i won't be going near them any sooner. Thankfully i've already checked tomorrow's schedule and it says that Shara will be teaching me about counter work. Yippee!

It's Racial Harmony Day today! To think i actually survived this totally chaotic day. Firstly this morning i was almost late, i'm really glad that my dad knows how to navigate his way through the slow cars and get me to school on time. It is definitely not easy. Physics lessons was shifted to the first period. Mr Goh saw the wrong section of the time-table and has to juggle between us and 3C. We went down to the theaterettee and up again since we couldn't use it due to various reasons. Almost died for 2nd period as it was geography. I didn't do Mrs Koh's work x: heaven must have heard my prayer for we were told to rehease for dikir barat. We got in the 2nd round and tied with 3C (them again!) for 2nd runner-up. Come to think of it, they did not send our half of the prize to us. ~~DAMN~~peace. We totally skipped Ms Devi's lesson but it seems that she doesn't mind. Recess was interuppted totally and we were only spared 5-8 minutes to eat. I borrowed $o.9o from Marlene and $o.5o from Li Wenn to get some quick recess before we all had to rush up. Mr Chan as angry that i did not complete his work again, therefore i decided to be nice and try to complete all chinese homework this weekend. It wouldn't be easy as i have work too, but i'll fight! 加油! Tiffany taught me how to use the pin but i still couldn't do it well. It sort of loosened halfway during our dikir barat performance and i was in the front row. Utterly embarassed.

After school i went back to class and dragged my way to round up the sec3s up to 4I to take photo. I went up to see only a few sec1s, chandel, yiying, amanda tan, esther and weiting. Going back down i walked around te sec3 and sec2 level to find ppl but apparantly they all went up or left already. I emphasized that even if you are not wearing ethnic costume come up and take photo. People who don't give a damn...(decides to continue cursing somewhere else) Yicen broke her promise of accompanying me as she had NDP rehearsal. No idea how on earth she can forget about it. With nothing to do until 16oo i actually did my 应用文 that i was suppose to hand in ages ago. IT RAINED, AND i didn't have my freaking umbrella... Was intending to borrow from huijun but my lifesaver Yiying came! Kyaa! We talked alot on our way out, which is definitely much much more entertaining than walking alone. When we boarded the bus the air-head-of-the-day (aka me) realised she forgot to top-up her ez-link and ran out of coins. Yiying helped me pay $1. So sweet of her. If she wasn't there i would have to drop $2 in TT_TT. When i reached the interchange i went to the mrt to top-up my card immediately. While walking back to hub this manager that i've never seen before asked me if i want to work when i'm already working. I went for orientation, Susan was late like by an hour? But she has alr gone through the forms and things we need to bear in mind etc. There are alot og short forms and the one i like most is GST. Its NOT Goods Service Tax, but its Greet Smile Thankyou.

I'm tired, *yawns*.

` 妹への誕生日おめでとう - happy birthday minxin
Okay, i'll admit that i was a horrible sister. I only remembered that it's my sister's bdae after she got off the car. After sch i stayed back to polish the bells for tmr's performance [i was suppose to do the ppt for chinese ipw with marcia jolyn and siying, but this is priority] On my way home i was thinking if i shld buy her a cake but since i didnt have much money with me i only bough her a pack of sweets. It's the thot that counts. At night my dad took her and xuan out. They bought loads of junk food, bread and even bakwa o.o As for her bdae cake they got a Belgium chocolate cake [contains a lil alcohol] we sang her a happy bdae song (i sang cedar version duh, but its so unhigh singing alone..) the cake was delicious but i dun really like the alcohol taste. Sweet nevertheless d;

` Passione ~ for the love of handbells
Everyone came at 1o in the morning except certain few, its not that i'm mad or anything, but thanks to those few that didn't inform us our plans are sort of being interrupted. Self-prac was dragged, the colours for the scarves weren't arranged properly, mcdelivery doesnt support student meals and many more problems. In the end our plans were forced to chenge, instead of eating first we need to change first if not there is no time to eat; the mcdelivery needs nearly 1hr to make and deliver the food... While everyone queued to pay the money for the food and then go to change, we made it in time when the delivery man came in a taxi o.o [apparantly the order was too much to be delivered by motorcycle xD] Once the payment is settled we [current committee + weiting and esther] quickly went to change and eat. I finished my meal within 5mins, only to hear that i might get gastrics later [thankfully i didnt]. However we were seriously running short for time. Gathering everyone's water bottles, cosmetics and valuables which were to be locked in as2, we proceeded down to the foyer and then to Singapore Conference Hall (SCH). We arrived there the earliest :D therefore was able to bring all our stuff up the first. MGS came next followed by MGPS and SCGS. Quickly we set-up our bells, mallets and all and began warming up with the other schs still setting up. It was kinda rude having ppl walk about when u are "performing" but nonetheless fun. We then sat down at the audience seat to listen to the other 3 schs warm up. By 16oo the full-dress rehearsal commenced. Meistersinger was magnificently grand. SCGS is really good in doing the bass [at the cost of many broken springs]. We then had our dinner which was mcdonalds [again -.-] and took a group photoshoot. I think i looked fake in it ): The doors to the audience were open by 19oo. Nervousness and excitement overwhelmed all of us. Some of us tried to destress by chatting quietly, others staring into thin air, some 自恋 ppl were taking photos of themselves... Soon it was the interval and we adjusted our tables accordingly. We were on stage after SCGS' performance [i love the sakura song. sakura, sakura... *forgot how to sing x_x*] and i totally screwed jubilee. For visual effect i pretended to be ringing but i kept on missing my notes without the score and the fast tempo, thank goodness it wasn't obvious. Seven bridges was brilliant. That night we were able to show wad CHE is really like. The SYF judges might not have liked us, thus giving us silver. But now we have everyone there that night knowing how good we are. Mass ringing as a finale was kinda sad. Our day on the stage is over. I really felt wad 台上一分钟，台下十年功 meant. Swiftly packing all our equipment and thanking mrs aw, we went back to sch, reaching at around 222o. The guard was there to open the place for us. Of cz he went there at 22oo for us especially. He looked v hip with his red striking top [unlike how he looked in the guard's uniform lol] and definitely much younger. Distributing everyone their valuables, bottles and cosmetics and locking up the boxes mattresses and skirtings, everyone is dismissed as it is alr 224o. Jiahui offered to give me a ride out (so sweet of her) and i took it, juz in time to catch 853 d: Being concerned abt everyone's safety [it is late mind u, we are all girls] i took the trouble and time to sms everyone who came today, regardless if they left earlier or not. There were 39 of us but only 23 responded. I suppose the other 16 "died". Scarsm, of cz everyone is alive and kicking ^^;

` 私への誕生日おめでとう - happy birthday to me d;
Thankyou to everyone that wished me happy birthday, especially my mum. If she did not spent that horrible 9 months and painful moments bearing me i wouldn't be here. Michelle and yicen also, regardless if the both of u let me win on purpose or if it is really by chance, for accompanying me to watch the girl who leapt through time. I really hoped that both of u enjoyed it too. Animes normally have sucky endings like makoto and chiaki's unrequited love, but that's wads nice. I love the watch the both of u gave. Yicen i hope the hat is really of use to you when u go back to china during the cold snowy december holidays. Michelle u have to tell me wad u want. I'm not keen on getting u stuff u dun need/want (:

HSK results are out. I scored A or Intermediate lvl, aka 第八级. So happy. Mr chan realised that i was good in chinese after hearing my grp's ipw presentation and went to search for my record, discovering that i din hand in work x: I shall be nice and do his work from now on. Having attained grade 8 for HSK is kinda motivating althou the paper is really easy(:

That's all i can rmb abt the things i wanted to post abt. If i have time maybe i'll upload some photos from our performance on 3oJun. Soreja.
