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! (:

As long as I know how to love I know I'm still alive

It's been a crazy week.
Monday was the three hours worth of lessons in school where my brains nearly exploded when I found out there was an Econs project which demands a 3000worded assignment and a 15minutes video, PW style. Visited NYchoir after that, collected Evox tickets and went home to watch tv. Heehee. I'm turning into a couchie. ):
Tuesday was ridiculously stupid - I went to school just for an hour worth of GP lecture (okay make that 45mins cos we were let off early. Just like that -.-) and ended up having to wait for Yan Jun to finish his physics paper before heading to vivo to buy his friend's birthday present where we walked round' and round' and happily got lost in the shopping mall and we couldn't find a suitable present so we went for lunch at thaiexpress before searching again. Finally ended up in toys r'us where we walked around aimlessly and looked at soft toys. In the end, he got the mighty bean pack for his friend and got himself a pack too (yeah, actually I don't dare to believe he's 19 either. Lol) Rushed home to change before meeting Fee for dinner before TT's evox concert in the evening at NAFA with some of the NYchoir people where Rach seemed to be overly clingy to me that night, lol! And Mrs L was present with her hubby, and she asked me a question which literallly made my jaws drop to the ground. O.o PLUS FEE WAS THERE!! (I'm sure you'll be laughing at me when you see this. ): ) sigh so now even my teacher thinks that I'm in a relationship. LOL. Anyway, back to the concert. It was so coincidental when I saw Daisuke performing with CCHM choir on stage and this 13year old half Jap half Sing boy look so adorable being the only tenor one singing on stage! Hahaha! And the choices of songs were good too - Beatitudes, Songs by Ola Djelio and all. Certainly made me a happy girl that night.(:
Wednesday marked the final day of school. The end of Bio at 11am sure made me wanna scream for joy, but no, I went straight to meet Charm who treated me to awesome tasting icecream with posh ambience at cedale, paragon (idk how to spell, sorry!) which include a good number of hours of chatting and gossiping teehee!
Thursday was honestly crappy, I'll just skip it.
Friday was school-shopping-appealing day for Yiying and I - we went to TKGS, TKSS & CCHM to check out the appeal stuff for our siblings (was planning to go to DHS too, but due to time constraint, we gave it a miss. Missed VS too cos it'll just be awkward and weird to see two girls walking into VS, haha!) Chionged to Boon Keng later to meet Putt to check out her SAJC notes (thankyou so much! :D) at her hostel and see the life of a scholar (lol okay no I was joking.) Rushed back to TKGS with Yiying to look for Mrs Tan before I went home to change and meet Marisa at Hougang MRT for YSA/SA's thanksgiving dinner (honestly, I felt awfully shagged by then, but still trying really hard to keep myself awake.) Awesome food (including turkey! :D), company and all! Thankyou. (:
Saturday afternoon was awesome at engwah's, before coming home to chiong my talk for today's sunday school presentation, followed by dinner at City Square's Aston's with the family plus KM's and Aunty LL. Love my extended family cos they're really the most awesome and supportive family members you can ever, ever have. :D
Sunday school presentation this morning which went pretty well, and YW in transition in the afternoon where Marie and I were 'unofficially' welcomed to RS. NOOOOOOOO I DON'T WANNA LEAVE YW SO SOON! I'm gonna cherish every bit of my last month in YW. :')

Wokay looooong ranty post. You must be REALLY bored if you've read up till here thus far. (:
Goodnight lovelies. (:

It's been a terrible day.
It start off terrible,
And it end off the same way too.
I think I just need sleep.

My mood isn't in the best of health right now,
Plus it doesn't help that i keep forgetting events and stuff,
I wanna bang my head against the wall. ):

Just don't disturb me tonight.

I used to think I had the answer to everything

Dear C,
Thank you for telling me the entire truth bout' what's been bugging you for the past few months. I'm quite certain you're still quite worried I'll look at you in a completely different light, ignore you for the rest of our lives and perhaps, change the level of our friendship, but let me reassure that I won't because I know it took you so much courage to tell me everything. I want you to know that I'll still be here for you, as one of your closest friends like we've ever been and don't look back again. I suppose things do happen for reasons unknown to us, but I know we'll learn and grow from here. (:
(next time, just don't get me to keep guessing cos my mind will end up running wilder than it should be considering how bad you claimed it would be.)
Love, Jesmine.

PSLE results are coming out tomorrow.
Hope both Jones and Wei will do awesome. (:

Xoxo.

But it's alright

It dawned on me that so many people are leaving this sunny island next year (mainly for foreign universities) and I'm supposed to survive and battle the A's all alone.
Even if they aren't leaving S'pore, it's difficult to communicate with them as easily as before.
Insecurity starts to cloud my mind,
*Emo at one corner*

I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity,
and I'm begging you
I'm begging you
I'm begging you
to be my escape.

Dadadadirida

Attended TKGChoir concert last night with St Nicks, Anderson and Nanyang Girls' as guest choirs at PLMGS and I really loved the repertoire presented, including pieces by Ko Matsushita, Elgar, Brahms and Rodgers & Hammerstein. :D

My favourite three pieces of the night. (In no particular order whatsoever.)



The Snow - Elgar
O snow, which sinks so light,
Brown earth is hid from sight
O soul, be thou as white as snow,
O snow, which falls so slow,
Dear earth quite warm below;
O heart, so keep thy glow
Beneath the snow.

O snow, in thy soft grave
Sad flow'rs the winter brave;
O heart, so sooth and save, as does the snow.
The snow must melt, must go,
Fast, fast as water flow.
Not thus, my soul, O sow
Thy gifts to fade like snow.

O snow, thou'rt white no more,
Thy sparkling too, is o'er;
O soul, be as before,
Was bright the snow.
Then as the snow all pure,
O heart be, but endure;
Through all the years full sure,
Not as the snow.

Fly, singing bird
Fly, singing bird, fly,
From the wood where lies shelter'd thy nest,
From the tree whence thou pourest thy song,
Fly away, far away to the west,
Tell my love that I wait,
Ah! too long and lonely, I wait.

Fly, singing bird, fly,
O'er the blossoming meadows, where grow
Yellow cowslips and daffodils pale.
Say I wait where anemones blow,
Weary wait, till with waiting I
Fail, and failing, I sigh.

Fly, singing bird, fly,
Leave thy nest 'midst the wood, lone, unsought,
Leave the cradling boughs, spread thy wing,
And swift as my following thought,
Onward speed, and swift flying, still sing,
Come, or I die!

Credits.



Yagi Bushi - Ko Matsushita
(If anyone can find a good recording of the SSAA version please let me know! TTBB's fine too, I guess.)



Kataka-taka - Laureola
Kataka-takang mahibang ang katulad ko sa iyo
Biru-biro ang simula ang wakas pala ay ano?
Aayaw-ayaw pa ako, ngunit ’yan ay ’di totoo
Dahil sa iyo puso kong ito’y binihag mo.

Ala-ala ka maging gabi’t araw
Alipinin mo’y walang kailangan
Marinig ko lang sa labi mo hirang
Na ako’y iibigin lagi habang buhay.
Credits.

The Snow and Yagi Bushi was performed by TKGS while Kataka-taka was presented by Anderson last night. (:

Now I want to go back to sing nice choir songs like this. T.T

Btw, it was an awesome night spent with Lou, Sa, Deb, Fee, Sheryl Tan, Tracy and Qian Wei. (:

I think I'll take a nap like, now. (Though it's like, 5.20pm!D)
Heehee. :P

Xoxo.

Too many tears


The feeling of getting this slip of paper was just... Overwhelming.
Controlling my tears was just so hard. (I ended up leaning on Sam's shoulder trying hard not to make it obvious.)
True, 55 ranking points (excluding the 10points for PW) won't get me even close to a local uni at A levels, but passing every single subject and getting promoted solely through my merits feels so... I can't describe it... (And it's so frustrating not being able to substitute with a word here.)

(I apologise for being so emotionally unbearable these few weeks because they're major things in my life just happening altogether and there's simply no gap for me to breathe. This is so emotionally draining.)

Smsed the closer people and half-pranked them at the top half of the message that I didn't make it (teeheehee!) before disclosing that I did in the second half, so major number of em' texted back later saying they nearly got a heart attack/scared/heart popped out/i can't remember (I'll print screen the smses tomorrow. I love the screensnap app on my phone for this matter. :D), with Fee and Charm calling me after receiving the message. Fee was telling me how her heart nearly popped out when she saw the first half while Charm was just screaming over the phone (FYI, she was at the airport) about how she was so freaking worried and her head was bombarding vulgarities until she scrolled down and realised it wasn't real. Teeheehee. Missed Marisa's calls, I'd prolly give her a ring tomorrow, though I'm pretty certain she's gonna scream at me for making her jump too, heh.

It's just completing J1 yet I feel terribly indebted to so many people. My family, cousins, seniors, friends and juniors who've been there for me in every aspect you can possibly think of. Thank you for the being there physically or mentally, be it emotional support, study dates, cheerup session, hthtalks, long (i.e beyond 2 hours) SMS/MSN/phone conversations, lunch and dinner dates, etc. You guys have made 2010 bearable and endurable for me which would have otherwise be mentally torturing.

I am very blessed, because the Lord never once forsaken me by giving me the best people at the best time of my life to conquer the odds.

To you guys out there (you know who you are),
Thank you, and I love you. :)
From yours sincerely,

Xoxo.

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky like shooting stars

It's 11.11; let me make a wish.
Please let me get promoted tomorrow, PLEASE I BEG OF YOU.

On a side note, went to visit NYJChoir this morning, followed by lunch and catching up session at Bishan's Manhattan's with Oli and Gabcheow where we were laughing our guts out at all the silly little things that happened the past few months/bringing back old memories. (And yes, we'll remember that Gabcheow went back to Vienna 6 times and Rome thrice. :P) Thanks for making me laugh so much in a long, long time, totally appreciate everything today! :D Anyway crashing Gabcheow's place is confirmed, we just need to let him know when we're crashing (or there'll be no food for us, haha!) and I'm totally anticipating the meetups with all my close friends soon! (even though I believe the financial reserves may run low in the long run, haha!) Met Sally after that cos she wanted to get a Fred Perry's cap for her BF but we ended up shopping instead where I got a pair of heels and she got a pair of shoes and Jollibean and Prize S and random walking round' 313/Cine/Ion/Suntec/Marina Square in 4hours.

OKAY JES MUST STOP SPLURGING THIS MONTH OR ELSE YOU'LL GG NEXT MONTH. :D

Okay, back to worrying for tomorrow. ):
Pray that I'll survive tomorrow okay! (:

All her lovely companions have faded and gone

I hate this souless feeling.

I feel so detestable about myself.
I think I'm just gonna let myself down and reveal the weak side of myself which I've concealed ever since I left TK.

If I do start tearing randomly, I sincerely apologise in advance. (Though I'd still put on my strong front to the best of my ability.)

I hope you guys will give me the time and all the support to pull through this time.

I'll take my leave now.

Bitterheart, bitterheart

It's been a bittersweet day.

I finally made the decision. It's painful - it's sacrificing something I loved so much, for my academics. I don't know what really got me driven into stepping down in the end - the scare I got from my peers completing their A's and telling me that the subjects that I take are way more complex than I thought, or everything that's been consuming my thoughts after my batchies left? I feel like I've just lost my soul. Nevertheless, I'm so grateful for the teachers and TT for being so understanding and placing so much faith in me (which really gave me more reasons to want to cry - with TT leaving options open to me and still being so willing to help me with my voice and all after A's. Thank you so much TT!) Secondly, I must thank Mrs Lee for being this really hip and awesome main teacher-ic for being like an awesome friend and someone who's been a great source of help when I was on the verge of giving up on myself, especially last year.

On the brighter side, I had a good chat with Gloria, followed by Yan Jun in school, and Gabz treated xiaolongbaos at Ding Tai Fung (with awesome company - Gabz & Oli), birthday celebration dinner at white dog cafe with Quinne, Marie, June, Marisa, Gayle, Galvin, Jace, Jones, Erika, Casey, Celine and Tania.

But meanwhile, please let me cry.

[/Edit]
Just had an msn convo with Gabcheow - thanks for making me feel a lot better right now. You've been an awesome conductor, friend, advisor and big brother to me, and I've really learnt a lot from you over the past year - be it conducting skills or life's lessons. Study hard for finals! And yes we (exco batch 09-10) are waiting to crash your place after the exams, haha! (:
Okay I need to sleep now, it's 1.40am and I promised to study with Amanda Xu tmr.
Goodnight people(:

I shall find strength to fight against the tempter's power

Today's 12/11/10, lol! (Someone posted it on twitter)
All the obsession with dates and times. Haha. :P

Gonna get a little work done before heading down to school later to pass my dearest gloria (who's in the midst of her H2 math paper 2 now, jiayou s&b! :D) her very belated birthday present plus letters, look for mrs lee to give her an answer before possibly heading down to vivo earlier to search for the birthday people's presents and meeting up with the AMK people tonight for dinner and MEGAMIND whee!

I wanna watch harry potter too! Someone please date me to watch it with me! (:

On a sidenote, people lose weight when they exercise. But I think I'm gaining weight because the more I exercise the tendency of my hunger pangs occuring increases too! Bleahhh. Me is sad. ):

Wokay happy 18th birthday Jessica Lee Meng Hui my bu xun chang de guan xi de peng you (I'm lazy to change to chinese)! Hahahaha! You're a year older, and hopefully wiser too! (So that our dearest guardian ie EC won't grow white hair worrying over us that quickly, haha!) Remember to keep your 4.0 GPA in poly, smart girl! Stay happy always, and I heart you loads! (:

Okay off I go!

Te amo

11/11, 11.11pm.

I've one minute.

Hi *,
I thank God for getting to know you, being someone whom I can rely on, gossip sessions (sometimes eating into the wee hours of the morning), keeping my secrets, make me laugh over the stupidest things, tell me things I never knew, mug with me on occasional basis, never ending encouragement, a shoulder to cry on and being there when I need someone.

Most importantly, you've been someone who reminds me that I am priced above rubies whenever I put myself down, respect me for who I am and make me feel special and comfortable.
I'm scared to tell you, because I don't know how you feel about me, how you'll react to this and if you know how I've felt over the course of time. And yes I guess I'm still one of those girls who still lives with the stereotypical thinking that guys should make the first move.

In any case still, you've been a life-changing experience. Thank you for everything.
I like you.(:

Xoxo.
(Okay I guess that was more of 3 minutes, sorry. D:)

Like a G6

Happy thursday night folks!
It's been a rather awesome week thus far. (:

Monday and Tues was spent going back to school to help 1002 with their OP (because I've received distress calls via sms and fb, so the awesomely nice senior went back to help them in the form of assessing their presentations.) And y'know what? It's actually quite tiring - and I sure don't miss doing PW! (Bids farewell by throwing plenty of confettis in the form of our 20-odd drafts worth of WRs and stuff. Haha!)

Had a lovely day with Deb, Fee, Lou, Mare & Sa yesterday - icecream with Fee, lunched at Charcos, back to TK with the girls to visit choir, chats with Miss Lim and Miss Yin, disturbing Miss Tong (we were happily sitting in her staffroom with 6 chairs and she warned us about the presence of cockroaches and lizards, and later trying to find her promotion video for MEP which she didn't find in the end and all the other random funny convos), buying concert tickets, camwhoring outside Beethoven and video world with Deb. And all these sums up to a really awesome day out with my A2 juniors. (: Which makes me miss my batch of A2s even more - Gloria, Shi Han, Bero and Putt, but it's okay cos I'm meeting them after they're done with their A's which I really can't wait! :DD

TKG's concert at PLMGS(Sec) next Saturday and the dress code is... (You'll find out next week haha!) But I think it's quite exciting to see some people *ehem ehem* dressed differently *winks* (:

Can't wait for tomorrow night cos I know it'll be awesumz wooh :P
Oh and I forgot I was supposed to help organise 02's class outing, oops :/

And yes this week's pretty cool cos there are plenty of churchies' birthdays so,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Marie, Sam Chen, Ben, Shuan, Ying Er - my 18, 19 and 20 year old people who've grown with me through my youth years. (Anyway I've texted you guys already so I don't think I wanna regurgitate my 5 texts here again, lol! Blame it on me being a lazy bummm kay!) :D
And of course there's Bero, Ruth and Jes too! Happy birthday my dear girls, I miss the three of you loads cos I haven't seen y'all in awhile!
Okay the mum is calling me. Goodbye for now.
Xoxo.

You've come so far, don't throw it away



Speaking of a cruel A level H2 chem paper 3.
So if you're one of those searching for solace, here's some people who'll empathize with you. (It's just one of the several pages i saw on my fb's newsfeed.)
(Fyi, the friends here include those of rj & hci too.)
Here's a virtual hug from me if you're still feeling down! *hugs*

Don't worry, keep holding on to the faith (:
Cos tomorrow will always be a better day. (:
Xoxo.

PS: Someone, do enlighten me on the dofu! I'm curious! :P

Faith is knowing the sun will rise each new day

The deepavali weekend was rather well-spent, I suppose.
Friday was dongwuyuan(zoo) day with sam, jingyu and nora and we had a really awesome time there with nora insisting on watching every animal performance, especially the seal's so that she can have a kiss from it (but her hopes were dashed, sadly.) and waiting for our lunch for an hour, mind you it's only KFC. (and honestly it wasn't exactly lunch hour, lol) Met Ben at the entrance, who later asked why I was there and perhaps he should be an animal, lol!

Saturday was initially planned to be spent with the family either at ECP/RWS but it was cancelled due to the lousy weather (bah weather's completely ruined my plans whatsoever - please do not keep doing this to me.) so I was skiving at home in the morning till salted pig called me to accompany her to study in church because A's start on tues for her and she couldn't concentrate at home so yeah. Trained to newton, lunched at waffletown before heading to church only to realise that michael, dennis (and friend) and han (and friend) weremugging there too. So yeah, did a bit of MacClaurin's (and freak the life outta the three Innovians when they couldn't do pure differentiation and binomial theorem), watched the guys and salted pig play bball (really stressed out people, I feel so sad for them), a bit more work, talked to wenjie for a bit, dinner at far east plaza, back to church to study before I decided to leave at 8 and it was pouring like mad. Well, I guess walking in the rain that night seemed pretty enjoyable for some reason that I can't comprehend - got home soaked thoroughly, no less, showered and watched Backup Plan with the parentals (and they fell asleep halfway through the show -.-)

The first half of this fast sunday was spent in church, followed by napping at home because I was hungry and tired (and I was still fasting, D:) before breaking fast for dinner and being 'invited' by my dad to prepare a lesson for tmr's AMK's YSA/SA's FHE over at my place. (I think inadequate is an understatement because I'm teaching a bunch people older than me, plus it doesn't really help that I haven't finished preparing my lesson at this point, oops. D:) Also texted my J2s and tried to send 60+/- smses at one go - utter failure because I had to wait and the smses refused to leave my outbox. ): So I sent them in 2 batches in the end, (and hope my phone had them all sent out in the end! :D)

Hi dearest J2s, tmr/tues marks the beginning of the final 200m dash of your 2.4km run. It's do or doom. Focus, calm yourselves and break a leg for your subsequent papers. I know you guys will do awesome with the string of As/desirable grades to the unis and courses of your choice - for all the sweat and tears you guys have put in for the past 2/3 years. Hang in there, have faith and don't let yourself down, don't give up and the glint of light towards freedom can already be seen! (Unless you're suay like people like Cheung Weng who is enlisted in december, but then again I guess it ain't that bad? :D) You're almost there! :D Plus I fasted for all of you so, hope it'll make y'all feel better! (: Love and miss you bunch of people truckloads and I really mean it! (:

J1s, OP starts tomorrow and it'll end soon! I can safely say 'Been there, done that' and trust me, the A that you'll see for your PW grade next year will make every step you take now worth it. (:

I'm craving for chocolates now,
Shall go to the fridge to get some. ((:

Crazy day tomorrow.
I'll be back.

Dream;
Shall I wait for 11.11 to make a wish?


Wednesday, November 03, 2010
This is real, so take a chance and go

Happy 3rd november peeps!
(Okay maybe not-so-happy november for my A level dearies, but it's starting next week and it'll end soon! The O level kids are a little happier though - their papers are ending pretty soon!)

So what's been going on in my life, you'd ask. Nothing much honestly, nothing much. Because everyone knows that the closest people in my life are:
1. Chionging the last bit of I&R and OP slides and script to end PW with a big bang.
2. Hiding themselves in their refuge place aka the libraries/home mugging their butts off before the major horror A's begin next monday.
3. Mugging for midterms which either starts next week or the following week in the 3 local unis.
4. Just started the poly term. :(

So yes what can I do? Wait till they finish their exams before we can all go out and celebrate the end of exams/success. (Applicable to 1, 2 & 3.) 4 - I've to wait till their Christmas break. But seriously, I miss all my people so, so, so terribly much (pardon my broken and incorrigble english - my brain refuses to let me type coherently.) Meanwhile, I'm busying myself with personal progress (having to finish it in 1month when you were given 6years to finish is like... Okay nevermind I'll just chiong like a kan chiong spider now D:) and starting a little school work (so that when the peeps start doing tutorials after PW I can go out and hangout without feeling so guilty at the same time teehee!) Okay I'm certain someone is gonna label me a mugger/chaomugger/supermugger/crazymugger/... Again. But I'm not okay! :P

I've had (random) text/msn/phone convos with some of my favourite and closest j2s within the past week (Meaning from last wed till date.) which really made me all happy and cheery (congratulatory posts, let's hope I do really go up next year!) and on the other hand, made me feel like a parental/counsellor telling them to go study/cheering people up and telling em' not to give up.
Random conversations includes someone who attempted to rant scream and cry to me via sms by typing *rant* AHHHHHHH T.T (cute! :P), someone going to do a piano recording 6 days before the start of A levels, someone who attempted to climb over his school fence with his classmates at 11ish pm with the security camera facing them (EPIC, seriously), someone praying that he doesn't hyperventilate during his A level papers because he expects nasty surprises, someone who's been mugging in jurong east library for the whole day and the only human contacts he had was going to the coffee shop and ordering chicken rice and teh bings from the aunties (thus his vocab would have been limited to auntie, chicken rice and teh bing by the end of A's. Sad guy haha!), someone telling me how he was gonna train someone else in NYP so that that someone else can pass his NAPFA in his final poly year, someone who was so glad he survived the first bout of training on tuesday, someone who was telling how her teacher said that US has better music schools so she wants to study there and the possibility of her teaching violin after A's (can you teach the harp too? :D), someone who wanted to learn to play the guzheng just because jaychou can play the instrument (you should have seen how mike and I reacted - I think we were on the same wavelength, someone who needs to go to Bali to find her lover because 'everyone has a love scandal in Bali' as quoted from EAT PRAY LOVE... I'm certain there were a couple more, but my brain just refuses to let me think now T.T

Had a good talk with Miss Ang today, (at the unfortunate expense of choir time, so the juniors think I ponned choir.) and I'm so glad I actually did because she was such a wonderful advisor/counsellor she doesn't even feel like a teacher (Mrs Lee too. ARGH seriously I've wonderful choir teachers-ic, I'm so glad yet it makes me so sad. D:) Well, that doesn't eliminate the fact that I've still got to make a decision, bleahhhh. Why isn't there a standard answer to my question then I can just get on with life?

Promo grades-wise, I think it was generally rather decent, with the exception of my H1s which made me very sad): My econs was just epic PHAIL and my gp's a far cry from my B last year. (Yes I totally want to slap myself so much. D:) But, my saving grace(s) (so to speak) were all of my H2s. ACE this time round; I don't care how people think, but I think it's a decent improvement from my DDE at mids this year (not to mention about last promos) so I think there's a good chance for me to get up to J2 next year? (hopefully!)

Okay I've decided to try out Bizet's Carmen's Habarana before the Queen of the Night's Aria - the range is more human sounding, wait let me change that, even Carmen may not be very human sounding to the people in my house, not to mention QOTN's aria. I need to get the pronounciation of the words first.

I'm gonna sleep in tomorrow. And probably heading down to the MP library to get some work done (hopefully start on chem periodicity?) followed by ECP to take a stroll down by the beach. Lazy thursday, I adore.

Goodnight, my dears (:
(and my dearest J2s, you guys shouldn't be reading this now, it's 5 days to the start of your A's. Mug hard now - I'll give you the green light to call me a mugger this time next year :D)

I can't wait for 23rd/29th/3Oth nov/2nd dec to go out with my A level people. :D
(And kope/'kuasa' (I quote valchew) notes too teehee!)
Till then, I'd be studying with y'all too alright! (:
Xoxo.
