Hey! This is Jesmine but there are a thousand and one others out there who calls her Jia Min too! She's (finally) 18 and is more than happy to be showered with gifts on the nineth day of the third month each year. She's currently mugging in Nanyang Junior College with a bunch of cute people in 1002, but she still loves and misses her alma mater, TKGS together with her dearest 4e1 very very much. She ditched her 4-years long CCA, netball, for singing - both in choir and as a soloist (Just don't ask her to sing Don't Cry For Me, Argentina. It's Marisa's new ploy to watch a free show! And I know poor Bren's sick of playing it!) She's been stuck in Alto 2 in choir for a good ol' 5 years while her dearest conductor is still deciding whether to leave her there or transfer her somewhere else, but she takes the performing role of a mezzosoprano as a soloist (and communicate her 3-octave range using her perfect pitch to her rocking friends who in turn gives her nicknames of innate objects such as tuning fork, piano and amplifier. :/) Oops, she nearly forgot to mention that she was a part of the Superwomen(Student Welfare) committee of the Prefectorial Board back in the good ol' TKGS days. She's awesomely proud to be an Latter-Day Saint, and savouring her last year as a Laurel before she gets kicked out of YW. She loves her family and friends to bits, and in her (very little) free time, adores chilling out with her friends, attend concerts, shopping (and window shopping too. Money don't fall from the sky, y'know.), singing, tinkling on the piano, blogging, FBing and there's so much more she'll prolly need a thousand pages for her to fill up her "LOVES&HOBBIES" section. Flowers, cute huggable soft toys, helium balloons and (hand-written) letters and notes are some of her favourite things.♥

PS: I can/can't believe you just spent/wasted 5 minutes of your life reading her introductory speech. Btw, she LOVES people who tag on her tagboard, so do make sure you let her know that you were here! Have an awesome day anyway! (:

PROM&SAKINA. :D

Alright. Here is it.
I am going for prom. (Because we all had to go for prom, and if we don't go for prom, the juniors won't have it next year either.)
Such nice seniors :D
So I'm gonna chiong with people to buy prom dresses (I guess it isn't a surprise right?), shoe and other stuff immediately after the Os. (Unless there's one which caught my eyes before that day, which is not likely gonna happen.)
(My last paper ends on the 13th Nov, my prom's on the 14th. Just great -.-)
And it's at some hotel next to the Funan Area (I forgot what it's called.).
I hope it's worth my $$. Heh :D

But anyway, this post is specially dedicated to...
SAKINA! :D
Happy SWEET SIXTEEN Sakina Sakdun!
I hope you liked the necklace from DIVA and the letter!
I guess we would have bought you cake if you weren't fasting now! 2 more days :D
Haha.
I'll remember just a few months ago, when I was feeling so tired and unwilling to continue running after the 5th lap of 2.4, you pulled me through my last lap even though I was crying out in agony so that I could pass. Like my best timing in the whole of TKGS (okay, it still sucks, but yea)
And you're always, always there for me when I'm down, needed a listening ear or when I just wanted to sing(Don't Cry for Me Argentina!) and/or scream.
Remember the day you, EC and Sab came over to my place to do the legacy project when I was supposed to act as the NIAN and started shrieking my head off?
And then when the real day came, I freaked most of the people out with my horrendous screaming?
Haha.
I'll miss you loads when we leave TKG, so we MUST meet up as often as possible after we leave that green school alright?
P/s: Wear that necklace to prom alright :D

xoxo.

Had been listening to Don't Cry for Me Argentina and Alma Del Core on Youtube since morning.
Voice performing exam's tomorrow at 11.50am.

To all those who wished me for Piano and/or Voice via msn/sms/phonecalls,
and made me feel calmer before the exam,
(LDSmates, 4/1people, MEPmates, OLPmates, other friends...)
thank you so much(:
And to all those people who have not gone for performing papers, break a leg :D

Early morning seminary's ending tmr. And I've still got 4 days to make up! Ahhhhhhhhh D:
And I'll miss waking up at 5am in the morning a little. Heh :D

On a random note, EC called just now. And scared the sanity out of me. Haha.
EC: Hello!
Me: Ahhhhhhhh! [Only both us know why I was screaming, and probably Sab and Jessica too, but that's all.]
EC: [Pause for awhile.] Okay, you ******. [Inserts laughter.]
Me: [Loss of words for 10 secs. Then screaming/shrieking.]
(You were SUPPOSED TO SMS me if I ******!)
Then she told me the breakdown...
-------------------------
Later, when I placed the phone back.
Mum: Who called?
Me: Friend.
Mum: Call for what?
Me: To tell me something?
Mum: About what?
Me: Something.
Mum: So what were you talking about? Why so happy? Guy ah?
Me: [Who was then happily drinking, nearly dropped my entire cup and threw up whatever I was drinking!]

Like, thanks a lot.
I'm in a girl's school, for goodness sake.
I'm not saying that girls in a girl's school (or guys in a guy's school) cannot talk about others, but <1month till the start of Os and someone calling me to chat about that?!?

Anyway, Wanshi msged yesterday. Anyone wants to take a day of to mug for Haydn/tutor us for Haydn? (to secure your 35marks for music studies.) PLEASE TELL ME :D
We'll schedule a day after performing exams :D

Till then, jiayou everyone :D
xoxo.

[/EDIT]
I almost forgot,
HAPPY SWEET 16 ROYDEN TAN!
Haha, you're like, my childhood friend since primary.
I'll remember teasing you in primary (and till today) and us throwing you at a corner and laughing at you because you were the only guy in our class then (not that there were anymore guys of your age in AMK YM now, actually), though you never seemed to mind.
Mwahaha :D
Anyway, JIAYOU for your N levels (which is coming in a couple of days)! I know you'll breeze it through :D
P/s: And don't come up with some new fusion for my name, (like Jazzmint?) though I know I'm cool. I'm kidding. Haha.

xoxo.

PB Farewell and Voice!

Happy Sweet 16th Chery Yang! :D
though I haven't seen you for ages!!
and you're definitely missed :D
(Notes the no. of sweet 16ths I've been writing for the last few post!)

And thank you so much for the more-than-half-a-year-overdue birthday present Bero! :D
It's very sweet of you to make such a pretty necklace:D
Though it reminds me of the one of the SYF pieces we practiced like crazy last year, "Everyone Sang" by Ko Masushita.

"as prisoned birds must find in freedom, winging wildly."

Haha (:

And thanks for the sms this morning, KM and that phonecall at 10pm, CX. :D Did you 2 ganged up together to do this or is it pure coincidence? I'm kidding. I love my cousins yo! :D

Yesterday was really amusing and good. Had the impromptu PB Sec 4 farewell party at the IT Resource room and our juniors were really sweet! Firstly, there was this videoclip dedicated to s seniors and there were loads&loads of picures. Then the superwomen(Reality check: Student Welfare) Juniors sang Thunder by Boys like Girls and they were really loud during the chorus though it sounded a bit, umm, wrong(?). Basically, we the seniors started laughing and it reminded me of the Sec 4 farewell last year where I ended up singing solo + accapella and the rest started doing weird actions. It was really funny yet fun! Haha :D They gave us our farewell presents after the performance - baby tee cushions! It was all decorated and handsewn by them. Aww :P But it's really pretty and I love it :D Christine Tan was ranting how she decorated the hearts and wrote the word SW on my pillow and using high quality cotton for my baby tee cushion. Erika gave me my present and she was like "I don't know what to say to you lehhh... " Haha. So cute :D I LOVE SW! Go superwomen juniors! :D Went down for refreshments after all the comms juniors did their items followed by SW phototaking and senior-juniors phototaking. I'm waiting for Donna and Tracy Tan to send me all the random photos they've taken. Haha :D

After the farewell party, I went to listen to Kenneth's voice practice for a while. Apparently, he's attempting to learn and perfect his new songs in exactly one week (six days starting from today) and I think his pianist(okay, I can't really remember his name) was probably more productive than him yesterday cos he was practicing on the piano when Kenneth was stoning/chatting. Haha. Looked through his file and realised he has many sets of that German Song(I don't remember the name.) and there was Memory (It was the exact key as the one I have at home) score there so I just asked him to sing to entertain me so he and his pianist performed. And yes, it was sung an octave lower than the actual score. Quite nice, really (with the exception of you-know-what). Miss Tong came down later to check out the piano. Schubert room's piano's FINALLY TUNED (ohjoy!), so the juniors get to enjoy the nicer sounding piano! This is not fair! *Pouts*. Left school at about 5.30pm.

Went over to Miss K's for voice, and I guess she was pretty happy today. Improvement! :D Bren's still lamenting about how slowwwwwwwww she has to play just to make up 8 mins for Don't Cry for me Argentina and Alma Del Core and that she was gonna fall asleep. Mwahaha. You need a junior to bully you :D And stop whining, I need to sing slower too, which means I need a stronger respiratory system! Okay, we're even now :D

I really need my distinctions for my performing papers! Wed&Fri! And I need to thank YI SZE for agreeing to be my page turner for those two days (since almost none of my OLMP classmates are in TKGS - (yes, I'm the only TKGian in my whole class) and I don't think they can cut school to be my page turner either, so yea.)

There's tuition tomorrow morning and practice with Sis Judy in the afternoon!

AHHHHHHH! I totally missed stake dance today! Someone tell me how it went :D

And I just went for a haircut a couple of hours ago. Pretty short. Spot me if you can :D. Deciding if I need to tie it up in school. Lol.

COUNTDOWN :D

all I can say is:

THANK YOU DIONNE for that convo. You really helped to brighten up my day:D
and HAPPY sweet 16th YI AI (the BEAVER GHOST boo! :D)
I've been pretty much into songs from MUSICALS this few months. No idea why, really :D
and you have to listen to this song (the video's just a collage, really)! it's really really good and sweet :D
i'm probably in the i'm-graduating-from-TKGS-soon-and-i-don't-want-to mood. Haha :D



For Good - Wicked

(Glinda):
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives
For a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

(Elphaba):
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you

(Glinda):
Because I knew you

(Both):
I have been changed for good

(Elphaba):
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for

(Glinda):
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share

(Both):
And none of it seems to matter anymore

(Glinda):
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood

(Elphaba):
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood

(Both):
Who can say if I've been
changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better

(Glinda):
And because I knew you...

(Elphaba):
Because I knew you...

(Both):
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good...

Will upload more favs soon.
7days to Performing Major - Piano.
9days to Performing Add Studies - Voice (So you'll probably understand why I'm less chatty from now till then :D).
33 days to the start of Chem Paper 2.

so I'm back to listening to Don't Cry for me Argentina and Alma del Core. (Nine Days!)

and I am rendered speechless by you. thanks alot :/

xoxo, Jesmine :D

[/EDIT]

Jace: Does annually means once a month?
Me: WHATTTTTTTTTTTT!?!?!

prelimbiopaperonewascuteeeeeee:D

i kinda like today's bio paper 1, really :D
though i'll get < 30. (if my prediction is right.), but i would have improved from MYE :D
anyway, it was really hard to keep my paper to the table (the fan was blowing so hard, my fringe was flying everywhere and i feel so colddddddd :/ ).
wanted to ask a teacher to off the main fan but no one passed by (that's for sitting at the corner. literally.) so i had to bear with the fan throughout.

okay, i'm insane.

last prelim paper tmr! chem paper 1. yayeeeeee :D
and HAPPY SWEET 16th BIRTHDAY DIONNE TEO, i'll give you some pokes for your birthday.
POKEPOKEPOKEPOKEPOKEPOKEPOKEPOKEPOKEPOKEPOKEPOKEPOKEPOKE!

Howmathrocksandsucksatthesametime.

There's nothing to regret now, we just have to move on.
The last and most important task is before us;
No matter how demoralised we are;
there's still that last lap,
the last glimmer of hope.

I'm not going to look back anymore, I'm going to look forward mug alltheway for that end point.
It'll be over in 2 months before I achieve that well-deserved 2 1/2months holiday doing all the stuff I've planned :D


Are you willing to chiong all the way and stop feeling down?

E Math Paper 1: Weird paper, but not too bad as a whole.
A Math Paper 2: *bangs head on wall*

[/EDIT]
I need a mugger partner, anyone? :D
