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! (:

Where do I begin

In short, GP was *sigh*.
Honestly, I didn't know what I was writing for the essay.
I wouldn't rate comprehension as badly as the essay, but I know it just didn't go as smoothly as I wished it could.
If I get D/E, I'll jump for joy. (Anyway Sherron mentioned that you'll prolly be in the 95th percentile if you got a D for GP. :X) Haha.
(And Sherron, I'm gonna camp in NYJC/outside your house.)

Music Comm meeting was pretty fruitful; we got quite a couple of points discussed and I'm done with typing and sending the minutes! Yay me :D I think Gabchew's feeling a little guilty abut me penning down the minutes for the entire minute, he's decided to write them down the next meeting, heeheehee. :)

Dinner after that at Swenson's at J8! Well, we were planning to have Pepper Lunch but that place was SO FULL (and everywhere else we went couldn't accomodate 8 people and they had awfully long queues), so we ended up at Swensons! And while looking around for food places, Simon was crapping around and most of his jokes were very KOH(COLD) and they were so KOH(COLD), it felt like we were in Antarctica where the temperature was an absolute 0 Kelvin, thus it can't be any KOH-DER(COLDER). HAHAHA. Okay, nevermind, that was so random. xP Rachel treated 50% and Mr Cheow sponsered the other half! Most of us had Baked Chicken Rice, Rachel had all-day breakfast for dinner(oh the irony!) and Simon had some pineapple rice meal. Mr Cheow had to leave early, so we continued eating dinner (and guess what, Rachel couldn't finish her 'breakfast'.) HAHA. Nabillah and JY later treated us to the icecream earthquake, which was so so awesome yo! xP David popped by when we finished the icecream and Rachel was about to foot the bill. Made our way to Cold StorageFair Price to check if they sold solid fuel (unfortunately they didn't). Some of the guys were contemplating whether to watch a movie (which in the end they didn't do so), while Nabillah, Rachel, Simon and I decided to head for home. I'm waiting for the photos from Nabillah's camphone. (Nyeh heh heh, random pictures of me and Rachel.) so that I can put up, I suppose xP

Anyway, the June holidays have officially started! (Which means I have to study like, at least 8 hours a day? D: ) But there's YC and Choir exco camp too, which means I've gotta study even harder! JIAYOU JESMINE! :D

Alright, better get off right now. I've gotta leave home in about an hour and a half for YW activity, and meeting EC for study date after that. Tata!

Xoxo.

Meetingo.

LAST WEEK CONSISTED OF Meetings, meetings and more meetings.
PW meetings, Choir Exco meeting, Phonecall and MSN meetings with Gab Chew, MSN meetings with Gab Chew, Gab Cheow and Mr T, YC meetings...
Ohwow, I've pulled through a week filled with meetings. I'm totally impressed with myself. HAHAHAHA.
(of course, coupled with quite a fair bit of frustrations I totally blasted at some really innocent victims, my apologies there. But I still heart you guys manymany, all the same. :) )

And I'm through with my bunking headache, Joyce!
Michael and I were attempting to resolve bunking problems before the start of the meeting till the end of the meeting for Jace, Roy, John (and possibly JC) and I kinda solved Rachel's bunking problem too! Yay me :D
And 4 hours of games! (after we kinda whined it out that 3 hours was wayyyyyy too little.)
(I just looked through the DFTL's categories and songs; I'm totally waiting for YC to come. HAHAHAHAHAHA. AWESOMEEEEE!) - okay, I'm nuts. I know. xP

Now to pull through week 10,
(GP paper, I'm gonna whack you. Totally.)
But first, I need to learn how to paraphrase words. Bummer. ):
:D

On a negative-looking note,
I'm in the midst of falling sick, again. ):
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO D:

Wish me luck yo. Will post over the weekends.
Xoxo.

P.S: YC's gonna be totally awesome this year, I'm assured. :D

Bunking headache.


Dear Joyce,
I think I really caught your bunking headache after I've elevated yours! D:
Love Jesmine.
On another note, NYJC V'ball girls championed A' div against VJ while the boys were first runner ups against HCI. Congrats to both teams anyway! :D
Xoxo.

NYJChoir Oldcomm, Newcomm; SOV 2009; FIFTEEN POINTS

Michelle! Oh my dear ex-Student Welfare mate who was from Stringe and now in choir! :D
Kenneth: "Hey I look presentable! =)" (Source: Facebook)

YQ! I need you to go retail therapying with me! :)
NYJChoir Exco 0809 & 0910!
Gabchew, Gabcheow & Me. HAHA. (Okay, darn I know I'm the odd one out! xP)
(Darn, I need to do something about that sad-looking fringe of mine D: )
AND HELLO WORLD!
Yay I LOVE FRIDAYS :D
Here's FIFTEEN POINTS for you today!

1. I PASSED MY 2.4KM THIS MORNING! WOOHOO! (Even though I was totally not prepared!) And I broke my *ehem very lousy* record and got a D(1614), but who cares, as long as I passed! VERYVERY HAPPY! :D (AND I DON'T HAVE TO COME TO SCHOOL AT 7.20AM IN THE MORNING! YAY!)

2. SOV last night was good, especially the second half! :D But I loved the My Love Dwelt in a Northern Land, Phantom Waltz (where YQ danced with this guy and they look totally cute together!) from VJ choir and all the songs sung by VChorale (马头琴奏起来了(Mr T. sang solo!), 落水天, 竹里馆) and Cheow conducted them! (And Shuwei's in VJChorale and ohmy, she's so pretty now!) And there was this 数蛙song (sung by the year 2 VJchoristers) which had such cool conducting style, Gabchew and I were telling Rachel G. that we want to conduct a song like this. *Hands moving from left to right to left again!* Lol! And the brief conversation with Kenneth was, idk what to say.

J: *Walks to K and passes the bought-at-5.30pm-with-Gloria-and-prolly-half-melted-F.R*
K: You made me come down here to get this? (pause for, 10seconds?). Aww, so
sweet.
J: *Stares*. (You know, I was really tempted to whack you.)
Okay, I know it's very lame.

Anyway, good job VJ Choristers! :D
3. Dinner at Thaiexpress was pretty much hilarious. Half of us didn't know what to order, so Yuan Xi, Gloria and I order the same stuff. Which was (i-don't-remember)! Heehee. :D

4. Last night was the most awesome Thursday night of this term! :D
5. Wednesday afternoon was probably the most emo-cum-heart-wrenching day of the term.

6. Old exco stepped down and new exco stepped up on Wed. And Cheow kept me in suspense for the longest time, ever. (So mean!) He started with, the person's a girl... The person's a J1... The person's from Alto... The person's name starts with J... (... indicates the pauses.) and the name was revealed. Lol! Anyway, my position? Go guess for yourself! (Big hint: I'm not Alto SL nor in the admin comm!) Okay, I know some people out there knows them (like the whole of NYChoir and Travis&Kenneth, I suppose.) Lol!

7. I'm really, really sorry I'm not going for TJ's concert this year D: I promise to go next year alright, Shi Han! :D

8. I'm exhausted.

9. I still detest PW. Even though PI's good riddance, GPP & WR are here to haunt. Darn you.

10. I still miss TKGS. And choir. Darn darn darn.

11. And I missed TKGPB BBQ at ECP today. MEH D:

12. I just realised my facebook pictures has passed the 1,000 mark! Ohmy!

13. I can't wait for Midyears to be over. Really!

14. I don't wanna wake up so early just to go to NY to do the 5 items tomorrow! D:

15. Happy sweet 16th birthday Vivien Sim, aka my TKGSA2 successor (who would be passing her throne to the next successor soon! Oh time passes so quickly! D:) I MISS YOU!

Alright. 15points there.
Wish me all the luck for my 5 items tomorrow! :D
Xoxo.

Tuesday, May 12, 2009
And he was there, this stranger, singing clear and strong

HELLO WORLD!
Haha, I shall reply tags first! (It's been a long long time since I did, anyway xP)

NANA: Hello NANA! HAHA :D
Beaver: Beaverghostboo! Haha, I still look the same! (Prolly just a little fatter D:) And I miss you! :D
SS: Haha, hi Sherron aka Scary senior! :D
Oli: Linked you! :D
Grace: Hey dear! I'm so sorry, I look into the matter okay. How's SA? :D
Xuanhui: Hey don't look so sad okay, we'll be alright "D
SALLY: Hello Sally! :D
Deb: Debbie I didn't get to see you. Bah, nevermind, I'll get the stuff and meet up with you when I collect my SGC okay? :D
Jianing: HAHA Hi. (I would have told you everything I told you!)
Manda Loh: I'm so sorry I didn't go for kayaking activity... I'm going for YC! I'll get to meet you there!
Sab: I just met you yesterday!
Xintao: Haha. Hello Vicechair! xD

Ahwell. Math's telling me to go, but I just want to post a couple of stuff before I go.
Talked to Leslie on MSN about this particular person on Sun and I'm feeling alot better now since I rant practically everything to him about that person. Lol! At the very least, I'm released from my inner anger. Heehee :P
Slept quite a bit last night, and I guess I've kinda recovered from the post-SYF must-sleep syndrome. Feels awesome, but I've gotta be in school by 7.30am for Econs, so still... Ohwell.

And I totally need to get YC shirt sizes collated by tonight! (of which Rachel and Casey hasn't given me their sizes yet.) Need to give them a ring.

Anyway, this is weird. Choir bonding via mass conversation on MSN(Which is at least 10pages long, I suppose). But it bonds choir members together. Lol!
Tomorrow's gonna be a awfully long day for me.
I hope it doesn't go too badly.
Haha.

Darn you summation, MOD, RR, MI!
And once again, I'm truly sorry.
My life's just filled with too much to handle right now.

Xoxo.

[/EDIT]
I've just been given a very big clue.
This is gonna be a really new adventure for me, if I didn't guess wrongly. :D
Bigger challenge, here I come :)
TYVM, D. :)

[/EDIT]
Oh joy, I'm talking to the slackest CT rep on earth. Lol.

Silver lining; A sunshine after rain.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I don't believe it.
Or rather, I choose not to believe it.
Why did things have to end this way?
I don't understand.
How, do I carry on from here.

[/EDIT]

After an endless stream of tears coupled with a couple of "cheer up, get on your feet and try again" conversations, I realised...
It's time I ought to wake up and get on.

Thank you,
for the lovely flowers Fiona & Malian.
for spending time after results revelation Serene, Ruth, Gloria, Sharon, Rachelle, Weilin, Chiwei, Jianing, Noelle, Charissa, Charmaine...
for lending me your shoulder to cry on Serene, Gloria, Kenneth.
for lending me your ears/time to rant my frustrations and despair Leslie, Ee Chien, Ruth, Kenneth.
for attempting to boost my morale again Leslie, Kenneth and XT.
for all the words of encouragements, for the time spent together, NYJC choir.

Things that I have inevitably promised some people today.
1. To pull myself up, get on my feet and try again.
2. To never ever give up, cos it's only the beginning.
3. To have more confidence in myself.

I will try, I promise, because I hate seeing so many people worried about me. I must not be selfish anymore. D:

For now, it's back to academics.
And I will go for choir exco interview tomorrow, as promised.
I will try.
Xoxo.

[/EDIT]
You make it so hard for me to live without you being there.

I fake a smile so you won't see

I am tired.
I am really tired.
Tired.
Tired.
Tired.
Tired.
Tired.
This shows how tired I am.

Tomorrow, IWe have to face SYF. That's it.
I'm super freaking scared/nervous, my legs are prolly wobbling.
Today, I missed TKGS Choir.
I remembered we gave out good luck presents on SYF day, did makeups, camwhore.
How we were scolded just before our performance, but we pulled through. (and got that GWH!)
But now, all I feel is an air of tension in me, praying that our dreams will come true.

Come tomorrow, I want to feel the same joy as I've felt 2 years ago. I want it, nothing less.
After tomorrow, I must get on with life and catch up with academia which I'm sadly lacking behind D:
I know I can, and I will.

On a brighter side, I just got Gloria a pink daisy. Yay :D Shall write her letter later, and prolly get other stuff/write letters for section people? Heehee xP
And I was uberly high on Saturday. Pictures after SYF :D

DrewThey looks at me, I fake a smile so hethey won't see.

Xoxo.
