I'm irritated with my blog and internet! Every time type finish and finish uploading pictures already then cannot publish or else the whole internet connection die off hmph... It better not do it this time.
Ok, here's what I want to write (I'm typing it for the third time this week). Nanyang Glitters over le. It's like so fast lah. I was actually looking forward to it. But now when it's over, I'm very sad :( It was the sec 4s last concert (with the band). Before I get into the really emotional stuff, I shall describe my 'experience' at the esplanade first.
Actually performing at the esplanade was really cool. The backstage was super nice and BIG... big until can get lost inside. That day was quite boring actually, all we did was to eat, perform and do nothing. But having nothing to do was actually a good thing. We went around doing silly things like taking funny photos cos we were really bored... I shall upload the photos another time cos I don't want my internet to die on me now.
Bolero was over like really fast. It was like we just got up the stage then it was over already. Then the rest of the ccas performed and there was the finale and the concert was over. Why does time pass so fast? Before the performance I was really nervous, everyone started hugging each other and stuff. Making quite a lot of noise that we pissed the theatre people off. Actually during the final rehersal I was already very nervous.
Passing down is next Fri... Ahhh... so fast. I don't want the sec 4s to go. I know some of them are really eager to pass down and out. I'm still very blur about everything, dunno if can cope without sec 4s. Sec 4s please come back even after passing down. You promised me you will and you know who you are. I almost cried on the family concert day but managed to hold back my tears. I think that that will be a very difficult thing to do next Fri. Even now when I think of the sec 4s going off I feel like crying :/
ok, nevermind. I will deal with all these stuff next Fri and if anyone wants the Appassionata X recording can tell me. I'll burn it for you :)

Hello!
We had family concert rehearsal yesterday. It was quite exciting. The backstage of the esplanade was super big and nice... just that it looks a bit like a hospital. We had to share a room with Strings and Guzheng. It was quite a squeeze cos we were all big ccas.
The dresses of the modern dancers were quite cool. The yellow dress was like luminous and it was shining even in the dark. The scarves we got were not very nice. Joanna, Sylvia, Marilyn and I got the yellow scarf. It was one of the uglier ones. The blue was nicer and the other half of the section got it! hmph...
Oh, the Nanyang kinder garden children were so cute. They danced together with the modern dancers. They were dressed in checkered clothes i think. Their cheeks were so red, Marilyn said that it looks like a baboon's backside. Maybe the teachers were in a hurry when they helped them put on make-up. Anyway, I was surprised that they really knew the dance steps. I thought that they would just go on stage and look cute but they really danced the same steps with the modern dancers. So cute...
Can't wait for this Sat for a couple of reasons
1. Performance at the esplanade!!! Although I don't really like Bolero, performing at the esplanade is like once in a life time kind of thing
2. After the performance, we can stop practicing bolero and have normal band pracs. Yay!
3. Next week is sabbatical week! Haha... slack week
Ok, anyway, Happy belated Birthday Alicia!!! I found out that it was your birthday when I read Jia Hui's blog :)

Yay! 7 days to family concert Saturday, July 15, 2006
Yay! 7 days to family concert. Finally we can stop playing bolero and play some nicer pieces. I don't like bolero but I don't know why I keep finding myself singing it, hmph... I want to play some old pieces like Noah's Ark, Pirates etc. I miss Noah's Ark, keep on listening to the recording but never got to play it again.
Oh ya, I hope I can change the day for my end-of-year programme cos I want to go NCO camp!!! It was quite fun actually. But this year it's only for three days, so sad. Anyway I think I can change the date for the local CIP cos I'm the one arranging everything anyway. No one else in my group is doing anything. I'll just arrange then tell them. They can't complain cos they're not helping at all!
I just got a hair cut. It's quite short now and the hair in the middle keeps standing up! Looks very weird. Hope it grows longer soon.

Hello,
We had Physics SPA today. I think I didn't do well. I just realised that it was SPA last night when Dina told me.... and I didn't have my worksheet to study. Mr Chan collected it from the 'weaker students' to see our mistakes and we didn't have anything to study, no wonder we got lower marks than the others.
Haha... today LA lesson nobody could present cos there were ppl going off or not in school. Spent the whole lesson discussing about the relationship of a couple. Was quite interesting lah but I wasn't really listening.
And my bio is dying!!!! Because of the dumb family concert i'm missing one hour of bio every tuesday. Today I didn't understand a single thing that Lee Shan Shan was talking about although I know I appear to be listening very attentively. Then she suddenly wanted to give a quiz. I failed my previous quiz lah... 0/6 and for this quiz, I didn't even know in which part of the chloroplast starch was produced in. Actually I wouldn't even know that starch was produced in the chloroplast in the first place if it was not stated in the question... ... someone help me...

Hello everyone,
sorry for the not so nice blogskin but i really suck at IT stuff. Anyone who want to help me can volunteer:) but i bet nobody reads my blog anyway... cos it's new and nobody knows about it except small sylvia. Hi Sylvia.... if you're visiting my blog, i saw yours, much nicer than mine.
Played bolero today... nonono, we practiced bolero today for the whole band prac. Learn how to glide, walk properly and stuff. quite sian. Can't wait till the family concert is over. Bolero is not a very nice song but i keep whistling it, don't know why.
Today we celebrated Mr Lee's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr Lee!!!!!! Actually i don't know if today is the actual day. The cake was sooooooo nice.... I think it was chocolate and coffee. Poor Ling Xiu was fasting and I bet the cake was super tempting. Ling Xiu... I hope you enjoy the cake at home.
I just went to Jia Hui's blog. I want to go Australia!!!! The pics so nice.... But I'll never be able to go there, I'm just dreaming. Jia Hui, enjoy yourself there k? (I know you will lah).
Sorry, I'm just being very random here, not sure about what to write that's why. Tonight Germany against Italy... exciting...although I don't watch. I just want to know the result.
Oh ya, a very important thing, how can i forget??? We heard the band concert recording today. It was super nice :D wow, we sound so pro. Persis was so touching... made me think of the alumni... alumni, must come back more often hor... or else at least come back for concert. Alicia, you say you will come back every concert one, don't bluff me k? or you'll break my heart.
