Am I too selfish or what?

Today during D&T Mdm Teo came and asked Mr Chan permission for me to see her. She say got this International Maths Olympiad training sessions every saturday starting this saturday, 8 sessions, from 9.30 to 12.30 at NUS. =\. Den I told her I can't cuz got choir practices.

Den in the afternoon Ms Lau wanted to see me to discuss the thing... den if I go she can cancel out Speech Day and some other practices so I only miss 2 saturdays (the HK one lah). Den I say I will give her an answer later.

Den for some reason i can't find her. I kena chosen to perform for Speech Day.. den I dun wanna perform... den I told Desmond to put me out of the list.. cuz I out of Speech Day den maybe I wun go for Maths thing also... but if im in speech day, den I may wanna go for the maths thing so that I wun be performing. If I go for the Maths thing den I will be missing a few sat practices (eg this sat)... den he was like very pissed lah.. can tell from the sms.. keep saying 'whatever'

Dunno whether I made the right choice or not.. Asked LC and Reuben den LC say i must sacrifice and Reuben say follow my heart. Whatever that is..


Anyway, I think I am not performing for Speech Day and not going for the Maths thing already. Desmond say I must go for saturday's pract. So the Maths thing dun want liao lor... Tmr maybe helping the Speech Day altos for Spirited Away. Dun perform for speech day also help out.. I think that's the best choice anyway =).

Oh means I can go for TPS magicland.

Anyway, nothing interesting happened today... maybe in D&T where we had to group into groups of 2 or 3.. den at the end left Nasir alone, and Alvin Pang with Prashant.. so Nasir joined that group.. haha... suay. I was with Peng Ho and Junzhe... we had to make this military vehicle toy which can 1) shoot targets or 2) roll on the floor or 3) is attractive... or combo of any lah.... dunno lah... guess we're gonna do the rolling thing cuz it's the easiest. Haha. Okay I guess I gtg already. Bye.

I dunno how to start this post.

Okay shall just start like that.. Lame. Anyway, there's choir practice today at 9am and I came at 8am. Lol. Den I just sat beside LC or something.. Desmond go and sing with the speech day people for warmups also haha.

Den just slacked around and did nothing until 9am.. den Desmond asked the HK trip people whether we wanna do the songs together and try to memorise them until 10.30am (when Mr Kwei comes) or we memorise by ourselves for 1 hr den sing without the scores for half an hr... Den we chose the 1st option... den at 9.30am Mr Kwei came =\. 1 hr early.

Den he did the Japanese medley.. I can most probably memorise them already.. the Yuki ga Tokeru and Hikariga. We had to do this lame choreography where we must clap our hands together and look as if we're praying whenever we sing 'Hikariga' den have to hold all the way to the end.. At the end sometimes got a few sections clap together etc =\.. Den the last D major chord we have to remain the clapping position and bow... They should bring a gong den the last chord add the gong... lol..

Den J'entends le Moulin.. Can't memorise the lyrics.. the tune most likely can lah.. cuz it's almost about just 4 lines.. Haha..

Oops.. had been starting with 'den' for the past 3 paragraphs... Well, the French Medley. Surprisingly we Altos didn't go sharp.. Haha.. but not really that surprising cuz Mr Kwei was playing the piano.. Oh yeah Pock Thong became the solo for the last part of Carress sur l'ocean.. quite expected.. Hah. I was using real voice all the way in the 'vois sur ton chemin'.. den Jonathan complained it's too low so he only sang those notes which I cannot sing in real voice =\.

Then the Itsumo Nando Demo, aka Theme song for Spirited Away. Mr Kwei said it has to be in SATB.. so a big swop lor... Den sop/alto most of them can already.. just that tenors and basses need sectionals.. den Mr Kwei managed to finish the sectionals in around 20 minutes... heard from LC afterwards that he did sectionals for 4 hrs on that song.. =\. Well den combines that time I just anyhow lor... a few parts dunno but just tikam-tikam lah. Tenors mostly got the melody so not too bad..

I forgot Suri Ram was b4 or after which songs, whatsoever.. but never mind.. Suri Ram not too bad lah... Mezzos were good.. Muahahahahaha. Oh the 'hela' is pronounced as hey-la.. so I was correct =\. den now we're doing in F major instead of G major for Hela Rotan..

Pokpok I also forgot when was it.. But it's not really that good.. maybe cuz around 1/3 of the people were not in the SYF grp. Dunno lah.. crap.

Went for lunch break until something like 1.30pm... Very what lor... Pock Thong and I had to buy cup noodles cuz we came too early.. den Reuben (behind us) buy that time den got rice.. den dunno when then got the fried rice... Oh yeah we very bad, go and bully Peng Hock.. hah =\. Reuben had the key so we could go up at around 1.10pm.

Oh yeah... Peng Hock lied to Mr Kwei that he's not a diploma when he is.. =\. Den he was playing the J'entends le Moulin song on the piano. Shame!

The whole afternn we practised the J'entends le Moulin song.. got some clapping thing that we have to do.. den have to memorise some parts which I had difficulty cuz I was feeling quite tired.. Oh yeah I volunteered to do the clapping offbeat thing.. then the others dunno do wad lah... =\.

Den stayed back a while after prac... Desmond say have to get some people to come for extra sectionals on Friday... I last minute (quite late, when I reached home den SMS Yan Cheng) say wanna get the Tenors for Spirited Away. Haha.

I can memorise all the songs liao.. Yay... no lah, except for J'entends le Moulin and Spirited Away. Well anyway, den went home lah... 'met' Woon Yang at the bus stop cuz he's collecting back the discs for the initial D thing... He say his friend wanna watch.. lol. Den he left at around 4.25pm to go to Bedok Stadium den go TPS to have some dunno wad CCA camp buffet.. free food sia.. den only he going I fink.. lol.

Den nth liao... Oh yeah.. just now the toilet was flooded.. I think is the drain at the bottom overflow or something.. and I was correct, lol.. Dunno lah.. some dirty water from the other side... Whatever. The choir blog is almost done already.... But just dunno what to put.. very empty.. Haha. Okay i gtg already.. Bye.

Feel like sleeping now..

Anyway, this morning it was raining.... and I was wondering what will happen for PT... Woke up quite early.. at 6am, and my alarm clock didnt ring and was 15 minutes late... Lucky not late for school lah.

Den PT ran twice around the school and den LC pump us.. 10 initially but some of us not counting so do another 10... The rocks that they ask us to pump very pain lor.. So changed location halfway haha.

Den played soccer in the parade square cuz the field is locked and it's gonna be muddy at ECP... that place quite cool, got shade and not too wet lol.. Den actually Yu Hang was the soccer IC den dunno why Wesley took over... Reuben chose almost all the comm members in his team - Sop/Alto/Tenor SL, SC.. Haha... den played lah... I so suay.. didn't score den let in 1 goal... then in the end lost 4-3.

Den stopped at 8.40am den went to change lah... den went to the music rm at 9am den we were like waiting for Mr Kwei to come but he didn't... miscommunication? Well anyway so Desmond started warmups at around 9.40am I fink... Den did all the songs that we're gonna sing - 5 French songs, Suri Ram, 3 Jap songs... Started memorising the song for J'entends le Moulin also.. but didn't finish cuz the Speech day people were abt to come into the music rm liao..

Oh yeah... during warmups Jonathan wanted to see how low his falsetto can go, den he will switch to real voice... den Desmond playing G major that time I thought C, den F major that time I also thought C =\. Den in the end the correct C major was played den I told Jonathan.. this shld be the one instead.. lol... Den he go shout so loud "Now den C!".. I think everyone heard it and Desmond looked at me and smiled -.-!

Okay.. anyway the speech day people came at 12nn den so on and so forth... announcements den comm meeting.. talk abt quite some stuffs which I forgot already since I was like so sleepy den... Oh yeah.. I remembered the surprise that Desmond was saying....

Tuesday our prac will be at 9am in which Mr Kwei will be coming... and the speech day people had to come at 8am.. Haha...

Oh one more thing.. the VS choir blog template is done liao.. by Desmond alone... haha.. Wesley didn't make the blog I guess... it's really better for us to make the blog. Okay.. I gtg liao.. Bye.

Happy belated birthday, Cheam, and happy birthday, Robin.

Anyway, today I reached school at 7.45am when practice is starting at 8.30am to open the room, and surprisingly no one was there. =\. Den Jonathan came lah.. den at 8.15am the rm quite full with the HK trip people already..

Den Desmond did some warmups and some songs... surprisingly I could sing real low in falsetto without cracking.. but high ones a bit straining.. den after warmups cannot sing low ones liao. Haha.

Den Xu Hao took over... He always come into the music rm without any noise... it's when I look a bit to the right den I see him behind the Sopranos... lol. He went thru all the songs, including the 5 French songs, 2 jap songs, Spirited Away theme song (jap actually =\), Pokpok Alimpako. Oh yeah he said the Tenors had a nice sound at the Dung-nung part.. Hah.

Just some typical practice.. den had sectionals... first is Sop/Alto where Desmond did the Caresses sur l'ocean... First time after quite long being taken for sectionals.. lol. Den after a while den Sop/Mezzo/Alto sectionals.. did the 2 jap songs and Suri Ram.. nth much lah.. quite acceptable actually.. den after that is Sop1,2,Alto1,2 sectionals... I just did a bit at the last part and ask some people to go first cuz they sang! Haha.. I sound so silly.. well den after that just touch up on the last parts of the songs with the rest of the people den released them..

Desmond say release them from sectionals latest by 1pm.. he released the alto 2s at 12.58pm. Lol.. Den ate lunch in sch den went home... Oh yeah.. my mum left for HK this morning.. den she wun be back until the 13th next month.. so I will be with my sister until the 9th of July where I will be going HK for the HK trip (duh) den coming back on the 15th (16th actually.. 0015 hours.. haha) of July.

Saturday PT will be at 7.15am.. I think I play soccer lah... since I dun wanna play basketball.. and there isnt badminton, and somemore LC say need more people to play soccer.. Hah.

Cbox is down temporarily... hope it will be back soon so keep waiting.

Yesterday.

Short practice from 8 to 10am... Just did the Spirited Away song.. can't rmb much liao.. just remembered that Tenors and Basses had to stay back for extra sectionals... den I was playing the piano at the back and got 'scolded' by Desmond =\.

Den when everyone left the rm I also left lah.. Den went to the canteen to eat.. Fried rice got sold out so had to eat cup noodles =\. Den went to Marine Parade Community Lib to meet Robyn.. Read some books abt the pinhole camera thing first den left.. Oh yeah I also borrowed this sci bk on "Magnetism" with her card.. lol.

Den went parkway to buy stuffs that we need... actually went popular lah.. didn't know the papers so expensive one =\. Den went home (my home) to do lor...

Den spent the whole evening and night doing... Robyn stayed for dinner (duh) den left at around 11pm.. den my sister thought that she's my girlfriend.. =\.. Yay we completed the whole pin hole camera and it worked quite nice... had to redo one of the 'boxes' cuz it cannot fit into the larger box... and im so kind to help her w/ her lit hwk =P.

Okay.. den today.. Desmond did a little of the combines den Xu Hao took over... his warmups not enuf so I only began singing at 9.15am... 45 min to self-warmup lol. Den he did the Spirited Away song and the other 2 jap songs... not very gd though.. Notes actually haven't complete den he want to add in dynamics liao... not a bad way actually..

Den when he left den had sectionals where I had to take 3 sections cuz Desmond all those had to see Ms Lau.. Did only the first 2 pages.. the first page actually not perfect but then I just heck lah... cannot really blend.. cannot think of ideas =\.

Altos very little people singing only... so I think need another 'extra sectional' again. Den I dismissed everyone except Edwin and the basses... Edwin is because he never come for prac last time and missed out a lot... den Shi Jie volunteered to teach him a bit... Den basses.. I did pitching exercise with them... in the end all of them had to sing in real voice in C major.. haha... cant reach I guess.. =\. When Xu Hao combined that time they went sharp by a semitone almost every time.. =\. Dunno lah.. didn't do much den Edwin i just taught him the 2 jap songs + cerf volant... just the notes...

Had to lock the music rm... actually Sean (Tay) wanted but then he say have to leave early liao... Ok I have to go now... need to buy sth for my sis.... [Thu 8.30, Sat 7.15]

Hi. I just posted yesterday.. but I am posting today again (like I have so much time) because some people ask me to blog... =\. Wonder if THAT person actually reads my blog tho..

Okay.. anyway... prac started at 8am for the HK trip ppl and 8.30am for the speech day ppl. Reached school quite early lah.. Like only Leon (he came to sch early to play bball), Pock Thong and Jiarong were there.

Den waited until 8am in the music rm den warmups.. not enough tho, early in the morning cannot sing falsetto, esp low ones, so I just anyhow fake lor.. den actually I wanted sectionals before he completed the first part of the Spirited Away song but den he say he wanna combine first... Waste of time lor.. like teach 1 section den the other sections gotta wait... It's only ATB only cuz Sopranos got nth to sing dere, except the melody, while ours is Tmm tmm tmm.

Well, whatever... den I went out for sectional... just perfected the first 3 pages of the song lor... Oh yeah, I kinda train Justin not to ask so many qns and disturb the sectional by telling him to always ask the person beside.. Well sorry Chin Boon den.. haha.

Den went in the music rm den sorta announcements... den waited for those officers or instructors or miss-es or ladies to come... Den they taught us the sign language for this new song - Uniquely You. I think is the theme song for this yr's National Day. Anyway if you all wanna listen, it's here - http://www.adrianloo.com/files/uniquely_you.mp3. Shld be correct lah..

Okay.. the discipline of the choir is freaking poor lor.. Those instructors play the music den everyone was like trying to follow that person singing the high note for the "uniquely". It's like childish lah.. and it's not music lor.. it's noise.. I mean like if everyone sings perfectly den I wun say anything lah.

Another thing is that I think Desmond is not strict enough.. everyone was like talking away... and fighting, and stuffs like that... Like Johnnie's batch that time I think that person will be pumped straight away... Dunno lah.. I think some people got pumped after prac by the 3 heads... That's why comm meeting we were discussing how to maintain discipline... Really gotta do something liao.. if not next yr the sec 3 comm leave den very hard to tame the members already...

Anyway, after all those den announcements den dismiss... Aiya comm meeting I said already.. oh yeah, add something... very wu liao lor.. Desmond will 'gossip' one lor... total waste of time...

Den after comm meeting actually wanna eat lunch in school.. but all the stalls closed.. so went to some coffee shop to eat chicken rice wif Robin and Gabriel... den played soccer.. actually I wanted but I played a while den dun wan.. haha... the weather's very hot.. =\.

Hmmm.. den came home, bathed, slept, ate dinner... yah lor.. nothing to do liao.

Oh yeah.. forget to add something.. Now I see the hall the air-con are being fixed... it's in the sch web long time ago... saying that air-cons will be added... I was wondering how they gonna prevent the air from escaping thru the 3rd floor gallery... But then heard that the air-cons will be switched on only when during exams in the hall. Den the heritage thing the rm is done liao.. just that there's no artefacts inside.. haha... I dunno what it'll be used for tho...

Okay... I think there's nothing else I'm gonna type liao... Oh yeah, Monday 8am, Tue 8.30, Thur 8.30. Okay. Bye.

So tired.

Okay. Yesterday was Thur right? Had choir prac at 8.30am. Xu Hao came den taught us 3 new songs... all Jap songs. He took the Mezzos for Hikariga.. something called "The Light". The song quite short but manage to remember most of it.. Hah. Den did quite fast so we did the Yuki ga Tokeru.. means "Snow is Melting". Some one-page song... It's like do Yuki ga Tokeru first, den straight away sing Hikariga... continuation.

Then after that there was a confusion. There is this SATB song - Hsumo Nando Demo (Always with me).. theme song of Spirited Away. And Xu Hao always call the Mezzo, Sop 2. (Like Soprano, Mezzo, Alto... den he will call them Sop 1, Sop 2, Alto)... and there is also a Sop 1, Sop 2, Alto 1, Alto 2 part. Den SATB den he say he'll take the sop 2.. den some people thought it's Mezzo... so the whole sop section followed Desmond all the way to the 7th floor.. den alto dunno where they go also.. Den I went out den Ashwin helped me call the Alto 1s from the alto section... den Mezzos in sop 2 stayed in the rm with Xu Hao. So Altos were settled, and Sop 2s in Sop section (who were supposed to be in the music rm) went with Desmond.. and Desmond himself is a sop 2 in sop section. Hah.

Well.. since it's in SATB den Sop 1 sing S, Sop 2 sing A, Alto 1 sing T, Alto 2 sing B. But then TB both is an octave higher. Tenor part is higher than Alto part liao. Hah.

Didn't really complete the song lah.. Xu Hao came out halfway to help a bit. Den nth much liao.

Went to eat lunch in school until 1+.. den asked Eujinn how to get to ECP Mcdonalds.. den he said 196 turn in then I remembered liao.. Last time used to walk there to play.. So somehow found the underpass.. now got lotsa new HDB flats liao. Reminded me a lot abt the past as I walked in the underpass.... Well anyway.. found Mcdonalds.. den saw Woon Yang, Isaac, Kee Wei, Arthur, Samson, Javier, Lyn, Robyn and Mabel... oh yeah... Javier's bro Lenz was there also.

Den went bedok stadium (shld have met them there -.-) to play tennis... the aunty there very lor sor.. keep talking and talking non-stop den very bitchy... Lol. Den Jerome came also... I played a bit lah.. dunno why dun feel so hot but feel very thirsty.. Hah.

Den went home... den tried to make this flash piano thing which I succeeded by a bit liao.

Anyway.. today.

Went for choir prac... reached there half an hr early as usual... den there was confusion with this Caresses sur l'ocean.. Desmond confused us actually.. lucky Fadhil and I managed to convince him. Oh yeah.. the warmups not enough.. cannot sing falsetto early in the morning also... esp low ones... so I was asking Desmond and see if I can bring the Alto section outside for just 15 min then he insist that we finish the 4 songs first. fine.

Den I can't remember wad.. den swop Alto and Tenor (Sop 2 and Alto 1) parts for the Spirited Away thing... fine den... but then Ian say he cannot sing the high Ab so he sing the Alto part (Alto 1). The sop 2s say wanna sing the Tenor part den dunno why suddenly all of them wanna sing the Alto parts after singing for a while. Walao.

Oh btw that was combines for Alto/Tenor (Alto 1/Sop 2) from 11 to 12.

Den lunch. Desmond came back just on time at 13.01.. he said have to come back by 13.05. =\. Den same thing again.. combines for Alto/Tenor. Kinda really like sectionals lah.. Den until 2.30pm den Ms Lau came and told us to bring out vest tomorrow, as well as $14 for the airport tax and $10 for insurance. Quite cheap huh? Haha.

Oh yeah... Ms Lau's keys the bear broke.. dunno who broke it... I didn't touch the keys tho.. maybe it's Peng Hock but who knows.

Den comm meeting... very what lor.. Talk so much crap.. I left early. Earlier than the rest at least.

Ok. I gtg liao. Maybe dinner then see wad I can do tonight.

Weird time to blog. Like I am supposed to be asleep now.

Okay.. Monday.. had extra sectionals. I thought I told the section (Altos [2 part section]) to come at 8am but Yan Cheng said he called them to come at 8.30am. Hah.. well anyway... reached school at 7.40am to open the music room.. blah blah.. den at 8.30am I started warmups.

Hah.. I so gd.. gave warmups in real voice first. but screwed up the piano playing... can't play with both hands =\. Well den at 8.45am I started on the Vois sur ton chemin.. Very nice song.. den the Fond Le'tang thing... the one-section song... did quite fast den the 3rd song did quite slow... Carress blah blah l'ocean.

Well anyway... the uncle (who always clean the canteen all those) came halfway during sectionals den ask how many ppl there were cuz they need to prepare the cup noodles in the last stall... den when he left I asked who wanna eat cup noodles in sch... actually none wanted. Haha....

Anyway, the last song was quite difficult... that's why I saved it for the last part of the sectional... cuz the sop got the melody to sing den we have to come in at some part and it's slightly lower than the melody... den most likely we dunno our first note.... So I realised that our starting note is actually the sop starting note at the beginning of that system. Nvm if you dun get it cuz most likely you won't... like you can see how long I took to explain to the section.. den break for further sectionals... cuz got 2 parts for altos... so blah blah... den just end sectional abruptly at 12.30pm.

Nth lah... ate in sch then went home.

Today. Or rather, yesterday, since it's after midnight.

Reached school at around 8am... den blah blah... 8.30 started warmups... Desmond just have to ask me to take warmups -.-! Oh yeah, Joshua Cheam and Edmund were there... dunno what they doing also.. Den at around 8.45am den Desmond did some of those French songs.. den Xu Hao came... den he did all those songs, blah blah. We're gonna do around 9 songs only... so no more Shepardess song, no more Fisherman's song.. but got Pokpok (Pock Thong) and J'entends le Moulin (Jonathan). hah. Oh yeah... when we were singing pokpok den Xu Hao conducting... den he turned to Peng Hock den he shouted "LOOK AT ME!!"... den he turn and face us den he turn to Peng Hock again... den he was not looking at him again.. den he slammed the organ (actually slammed Desmond's file) den he shouted "LOOK AT ME!!!!!!!!!!!".. so pissed off sia.. Shame sia.

Den err... sectionals for half an hour... I think the Mezzo-sops not listening to me liao... bei4 wo3 chong3 huai4 liao.. =\. Den announcements den comm meeting.. blah blah. Oh yeah... Desmond keep leaving stuffs in the music rm... like yesterday (Monday actually) was his 2 scores and the shirt size thing.. den today (k fine, Tuesday) was his wrist band. Haha. =\.

Oh nothing liao... Thu Fri Sat got prac at 8.30am. Shall blog next time den.

Didn't realise I left this blogger page here for some 50 minutes. The time now is 10.39pm, and the blogger thing the time is 9.51pm. Haha.

Anyway, yesterday the whole day we learnt the French thing... In the morning actually supposed to do pronunciation until 10am, den sectionals until 12, den lunch until 1.. but den pronunciation until 10.30, the first song sectional until 11.15am by Desmond... so lunch from 1 to 2. =\. Anyway... it's like 4 songs.. and 1 song is 1 part, 1 song 3 parts and 2 songs 2 parts... so the Sop/Alto thing the Alto not strong lah... den the Cerf-Volant (3 part) that one the Mezzos were good. Haha.

Den after that went for lunch den after lunch went back to the music room where Desmond, Reuben, Joshua, Pock Thong and I were singing some songs, like Can't help falling in love, Salmo 150, etc etc. Den had combines when actually there isn't... and somemore I told that Altos that during combines try and sing the words while sectionals can sing to 'la'... den Yu Hang go and tell Desmond that they didn't learn the words den Desmond was like looking at me -.-!

Well anyway... at around 2.30, we went to the IT lab to watch the Les Choristes show... quite nice lah... talk about this guy who went to a school with problematic kids to work as a supervisor... den he formed a choir lah... some PG13 I guess... quite nice lah...

Okay.. den went to play soccer at the field beside some school with Robin and Gabriel... den play til 6+ den went home... so tired...

Den today. Had some combines as the HK trip people thing, den performed to the speech day ppl and they perform to us also.. the Altos very poor thing... i think warmups not enough so cant sing... I can only sing the I Le E, that part.. cuz it's like low G or low A.. haha...

Den at 9.30am 4 ladies came and taught us this sign language thing that we're gonna do... we have to show the sign language for the whole Pledge and some song that they are gonna teach next week. Oh yeah.. when they came, the choir was damn fking noisy.. like one of them have to say the other schools all pay attention and we dun.. even though they didn't scold us........ cuz they couldn't........ and shouldn't............ but should scold anyway..

I think Desmond or whoever should do something.. like he asked 5 guys to follow him out and he talked to them lah.. which hopefully will work but I dun think it will....

Haix.. forget it... Monday I am gonna have extra sectionals with the Altos... maybe from 8 to 1pm... I got the schedule already but it may be subject to changes. Den Tuesday is 8.30am. I have to come early on both Monday and Tuesday to open the room.. Den Tuesday Justin got extra sectionals with his speech day grp altos... so he has to stay on until end of HK trip prac to get the key from me... den open the rm on Wed for his speech day ppl. Okay.. I gtg liao. Bye.

So long never blog liao. Blog become stagnant already. I just blog briefly cuz it's like 10.30pm now and tmr there's still prac.

K. Sunday, Monday both days I slack. Haha. Den Tuesday got this Maths Olympiad thing. I was one of those earlier ones... Peng Ho called me while I was on my way there den that time he reach already. Quite early huh.

Anyway, this yr sec 1s who were taking the paper most look like nerds! Ergh. Oh yeah.. Peng Ho sat beside me, Wrixon sat behind Peng Ho, Joshua beside Wrixon (behind me) den Ian beside Joshua, den Edwin in front of Ian. Hah.. all I know one all sit around me. Lol. Ian very irritating lor... keep stomping his feet or dunno what... den Wrixon was like.. "TSK!". Haha very funny one. Lucky Ian left early.. den I had some peace.

The paper was generally easy.. I think I can pass cuz got lotsa questions I tyco one.. like I calculate halfway den sian liao so anyhow put some answer. Den the my ans turned out to be correct. Haha.

Oh yeah.. den went for choir prac later... like quite early huh... 12.10 reach choir rm then 12.30 dismissed... and my attendance got marked.. haha.

K then comm meeting.. the usual bit lah.. den had lunch in school with Joshua and Peng Hock [and he was like borrowing $1 from me which I refused, and Joshua lent him...]. Den went gallery and practise some J'entends le Moulin for a while den went home.

End of day 1. Not really... go home do hwk and blah blah lah. Wed slacked the whole day on the computer while trying to do some homework.

K den Thur, which is today. Reached school at 7.50am I think... Den the music rm was like very noisy (like Peng Hock esp, or Peng Hock only). Fadhil was listening to his discman which is like abusing his authority as a Records Manager. Oh den Robin passed me his Reading Programme WB which I wanna copy TAKE IT as a reference for my Totto-chan thing. So gd he got 12/12 for some short thing that he copied... so short sia...

Oh yeah... Peng Hock thought he borrowed $1 from me... den he said he can't rmb who he borrowed from... wah... he so pro man. Den he ask me to return to Joshua.. I say either $1 coin or I dun help... den he gave me 2 50-cent coins so I dun help him.. haha.. evil.

Oh well.. den Sop/Alto sectionals... I told Joshua to take warmups... Den halfway Reuben came in den he continued... very funny... he keep saying "sing to ah ah ah ah ah in alto voice".. haha... he cannot sing falsetto early in the morning.. so can't everyone either. Den he took warmups for so long that we only have 10 minutes left.. Den he was like... harh, den all of you sit down and revise on your own.. Haha... some once-in-a-lifetime experience. Den left 5 minutes den we just sang a bit den the altos go out liao.. Mezzo-soprano's sectionals...

Den I told the 4 of them about the song lah, like how to remember, while waiting for the other Mezzo-sop to come in. Den did Suri Ram... time passed quite quickly anyway... den finished the song liao I found the pitching a bit off so did this Doh Ray Doh Mi Doh Fa thing.. den dunno someone screwed up or something... den never got it right.. haha... den halfway Xu Hao came in... scary... den I was like errr... choir greet? Lol.

Den he ask me this ask me that.. I can't rmb what... den he also say try to revise Pokpok. He came quite early anyway, we got some time left for Pokpok... so just did a bit... 0 sops, 3 altos, 1 tenor, 5 basses. What the.. the the tenor was Edwin.. so I just helped him out a bit... didn't finish the song though.

K den Xu Hao took over... some J'entends le Moulin.. den Suri Ram, den Fisherman's song, den back to Suri Ram. Den left...

The choir quite noisy when he talking anyway.... guessed the standard is really dropping..... must propose to Desmond to do something liao...

Den announcements blah blah. Oh yeah... Yan Cheng say those who went for the Maths Olympiad thing must mark as Excused, not Present. Haha.... fine.....

Tmr gonna have prac from 8.30am to around 1.. den lunch until 2 or 2.30, den back to watch the French movie.... well whatever it is.... Comm meeting that time got the 4 scores... Fadhil sent me 2 of the songs anyway, and one of them is HIS OWN BLOG SONG... Haha.. Tyco-ness. Oh yeah... like what Desmond said last tue, those who come late can choose to do green bottles or sit-ups... I dun agree to sit-ups anyway... or rather the ability to choose which punishment... cuz 1) they will choose the easier one, 2) some people can't do sit-ups.. rather unfair and 3) this is not a fitness corner... Green bottles was like my suggestion at around Apr... didn't know Desmond actually took it. No objections anyway but I think pumping shld be the best lor.... green bottles is gonna take a long time to do and can easily find an easy way out. Not say pumping cannot find an easy way out lah... well and also green bottles is somehow a distraction... like pumping u can do quietly at a corner while the announcements go on but green bottles u have to consider lor...

Kk... enuf abt comm meeting anyway.. den went to the canteen and see Robin, Pock Thong and Liew Xun... den Pock Thong was like asking me to hurry up eat... blah blah.. haha... so I just took like 15 min to eat and 5 min to return and borrow library book... Pock Thong and Liew Xun went to the street soccer court first.. den I Robin stayed w/ me den brought me there later... oh yeah... can borrow more than 1 library book.. haha.. not bad eh.

Den walk there, talk while walking, blah blah... den saw Gabriel on his bike. Tyco sia. Den tried his bike which was like my first after dunno how long liao... surprisingly I still can cycle.. Hah.. den saw Pock Thong and Liew Xun already dere... so played....

Blah blah blah. Oh yeah Pock Thong keep calling me fisherman so I bu shuang den call him pokpok alimpako. Hah. Retribution! Den dunno when PT and LX left... like without a sound... oh yeah halfway while resting Peng Hock suddenly came... like what the... lol... den he was holding this plant.. he bought for $8. Siao.

K errr.... den played for a while den really no more water liao so went home after being disturbed by this grp of ppl while resting, who dunno sit at the stairs for wad and started talking to us.. Look friendly tho but quite unfriendly.. lol.

Errr... bathed and slept then dinner den listened to some of the songs we're gonna sing tmr den blogging now. That's my day today... lol. Now feeling a bit feverish, think due to the soccer game under the afternoon sun. Okay.. i gtg liao. bye.
