Today did homework again! But less than yesterday. I finished my chem! Yay! Can say it's today cuz I finished it at 1am. Dunno why yesterday not tired so do until 1am -.- Super happy that one subject is done. Oh wait. there's still halogen derivative tutorial. haiz. so there's still chem after all.
Finished two topics of math only. Differentiation and maclaurin's expansion. Maclaurin's is super tedious can. After that is integration. Another topic I don't like. But I like differential equations haha. Cuz it's like problem sums and got story so a bit more interesting.
Ok, enough about homework.
Happy last day of the year! There's thanksgiving and watchnight service in church like now. But I'm not there. Going po po's house later to countdown. Haha I bet all of them are there now watching little nonya. Is it really that nice? So many ppl seem addicted to it. Like last time I go cut hair, the ppl in the hairdresser's shop also talking abt that show lah -.-
Went to the park again. We seem to go to the park very often recently. To run, walk, do sit ups. And these 2 days. Badminton! Haha today play already tmr hand sure muscle ache. So we were like our muscle very lag. This year play next year then ache lol!
I think I'm sort of addicted to homework. Like I keep wanting to do it so that I'll finish it. Which is actually a good thing :) I'm looking forward to doing bio homework o.O

I've been doing homework the whole of today! So guai right? XD But there's still a lot.
I think I should start breaking down my homework into smaller pieces. Like instead of writing Math holiday homework, I should break it down into the 11 small topics so that I'll actually feel some sense of accomplishment when I finish one topic. Or else it's like you do and do for so many days and you don't seem to get anything done cuz maybe you finished 10/11 topics for math, 17/18 qns for chem and like 29/30 qns for CLL but you can't cancel anything cuz it's not complete yet! So demoralising. Like I can say, I have not completed any of my holiday homework yet. Although I've been doing and doing :/
Ok, nvm. Let's see what I've done so far. I've COMPLETED linear systems of equation for math. wow, 1 topic. I started on another 5 topics for math too but all got blanks cuz got questions dunno how to do -.- Finished 11 qns for chem :) Haha can actually finish cuz got Jia Wei to help me. But still got 7 more to go before I COMPLETE my chem holiday homework. Jia you!
Let's set goals. For tmr! Complete chem holiday homework. Finish 5 topics for math. And maybe start on Bio and CLL. I know they're not very specific but whatever XP
Mug hard for 2 more days before I can play! Friday will be fun:)

Today is Sunday! Was on duty so had to go early. Yan came too cuz she got cell early in the morning. It's funny how people get so amused when Yan and I talk and 'argue' with each other good humouredly. Is it really that funny? lol
After church we went Marche to eat. We meaning the X-men, Cavell, Jeremy, Andreas and Tian Long. Haha the food was nice. And I ate a lot, believe it or not. Eat so full until didn't have to eat dinner:) I'm really lazy to elaborate. Shall let the pictures do the talking XD Although there aren't a lot. Should have taken more since I don't know when will be the next time I'll actually step into that place again.
Haha they're at the dessert already. And that's Julia's hand koping the cake XD
Julia looks like she wants to kill Tian Long...
the food looks nice right!
the bill O.o
The X-men! :)
Ok, that's all. There's a group pic with Rayson which we all won't get until he gets his internet connection.
I shall go sleep. Tmr wake up early to do homework. Haiz...
I will do my homework. I do remember that I have homework to do and tests on the first week of school. My memory is not that bad. Please stop reminding me.

Haha my juniors are so cute. You should go watch the farewell videos on facebook XD
Today was a rather waste of time. I attempted to do homework but realised I don't know how to do. Die le. And somemore it's math. Maybe I should attempt another subject. Like chem. Then Jia Wei can teach me haha.
Tmr got band. Don't know what we're going to do. Oh wait. I know. Do tuning. Oh no. That's going to be a bit boring. I hope it doesn't go on for too long. Maybe I can bring a book to read or something. And work on set piece. I can't give out the parts if he doesn't decide on a choice piece leh.
Yay! Finally got Jiawei's present done. Like talk abt it since so long ago but now then do. Procrastination. Tsk.
There's a lot of food in my house now! Cuz of christmas and malacca trip and various reasons I guess. Going to get fat if I keep on eating. Esp since there's so much chocolate. And somebody still want to buy some more...
Happy day after christmas! which is boxing day but I don't know why

Merry Christmas da jia!
Happy birthday Jesus!
Christmas is the season of giving. May each and every person be blessed by not only the gifts from family and friends but most importantly, the gift that God gave us.
Haha during church today, we were recalling the old times like when I was primary 1! We went to Malaysia to put up a christmas performance called 'We wish you Jesus'. And everybody still remembers haha. Isaac as the christmas tree, Joleen as the present during the 'O Christmas tree' song. And Ivan jumping so high and banging his head on the mike stand. And I remember Sandy celebrated her birthday there with a huge ice-cream cake! I miss that kind of performance. Jonathan remembers all the actions o.O

Hmm first time going to church in a not good mood I think. Or maybe one of the first. Was like stoning the entire morning then ppl keep on asking me what happened. So I gave the excuse that I was tired since it was the only reason that they can actually understand. Sorry if i was like grouchy and stuff but I really wasn't in a good mood. Trying to keep a smile on my face at that time in order to look normal was a total chore that I didn't manage to accomplish. My face give away too much I think.
But throughout the day my mood got better like after worship and praying and stuff. Thanks to God. Was really sleepy during sermon. Almost fell asleep :/ Then after that had lunch, youth, meetings and went ama house.
At least I'm not the only one who thinks that way. So it's not my fault.

Shall just blog again today about today.
In the morning I set my alarm clock wrongly so end up waking up one hour early. But actually I already woke up before that. Which is weird cuz I should be tired after cell outing yesterday so by right should wake up very late.
Then after doing some housework, Yan and I went to church and basically spent the whole day there. Cuz got storm prac, carolling prac and carolling and she had cell. Carolling was quite fun:) I think our pracs paid off and we enjoyed ourselves which is good XD
I'm very irritated at the sunburnt. Keep having the temptation to scratch. But shouldn't or else my skin will peel so I end up hitting myself -.-
hmm tmr must wake up early. Must give ppl morning call also or else later the person don't wake up and late again. And tmr is another long day. Must pack my table and my youth camp bag.
I'm sleepy.
trumpets forever - 10:41 PM :)
I shall blog about cell outing:) I think it's going to be long and narrative. To let those ppl who missed it see how fun it was haha! Wait, actually SEEing how fun it was would come from the pictures which are with Charlotte XD
We were supposed to meet at Bedok and 9 and Clementi at 8 for those who stay in the west and wanted to. End up all of us meet at Clementi cuz we all stay in the west and wanted to meet-.- The trains were very crowded cuz it was time for ppl to go work. Actually I thought work starts at 8am lor. It was already 8 and ppl still travelling. tsk. BUT suddenly there was this very empty train and all of us could get up and had a lot of space to walk abt haha. Yay! Thank God:)
And we reached Bedok before 9am! Haha not like we're meeting anybody there anyway. So we took bus and walked and finally we reached East Coast Park! Went to subway for breakfast. But it only opens at 10 so we sit there and stone and play cards and get tricked by ppl etc until 10 then we ate breakfast. Subway breakfast not bad. First time eating. But it's a lot for one person's breakfast I think. And we waited for Josh to came and eat his breakfast. And while waiting, we continued playing cards.
After that, we went cycling! Cycle cycle cycle:) Wanted to go Changi Beach there(which is very far). Then halfway through Sellek called and reminded us abt him. So we asked him to rent a bike and ride towards us while we ride back so we'll meet somewhere along the way. But we ride like all the way back already still nv meet him. Then we called him then he was also like "how come I ride so long already never meet anybody?" So end up riding back to the bike shop there. And we meet him somewhere at the opposite direction that we were riding from the bike shop-.- We were like "we ask you to face the sea and turn left and ride away from the McDonald's". And he was like "Correct what. Face the sea and turn left mah"(while pointing to the right) LOL. Sellek ah. Cannot tell right from left. Ok and after that 'commotion' we continued riding in the original direction. And we didn't manage to reach Changi Beach:( But nevermind, it's the hourney not the destination that matters. And most importantly, we had fun:) Aside from the sunburn and butt pain o.O
So after returning the bikes, we went for lunch. Actually I forgot we had to eat lunch. I was like "let's walk to the bbq pit there first then u all can play volleyball or do whatever you want" Then Joyce reminded me that we haven't eat lunch. And it was already 2 plus. So we went Subway again. Back by popular demand :)
After lunch we started on our way to the bbq pit which wasn't exactly very near. By time we reached there it was almost 4pm and the food was supposed to come and 4 plus. So we went to find the carpark that the food was supposed to arrive at. Tried looking for quite long. And everybody give different directions. But we finally found it! (sense of accomplishment) It was hiding behind the road safety park. Aiyo, how to see lah. And when the food came, we collected the food and went back to start the fire!
I said I wanted to start fire and cook. But I think in the end I only did a bit of both. Sorry. Like so slack :/ I also dunno what I was doing actually cuz I never eat a lot. I think just walking ard and talking to ppl and stuff. And discussed youth camp stuff with Rayson. And I dunno what else. Oh we went to take cell pic on a tree! Haha like everybody climb up the tree and ask somebody take for us. It was quite fun:) I know Charlotte was asking Eugene if he minds climbing up a tree to take pic. Then he was like "do I look like a monkey to you?" End up he climb the highest lah-.-
Eh I think nothing much after that. Just eating, talking and clearing up. I got wet while washing my tongs lol. It's like the whole day at the beach nv even touch the water. Then when going to leave already then my shorts and half my shirt all wet. And we were playing with ice (standard). Haha nobody managed to put ice down my shirt XD We took a last cell pic then packed up and left. Yup. Bye East Coast Park!
Yay! This is a long post. Cell outing was fun. We should attempt to get the whole cell there next time:) I want the pics! Got some interesting ones XD
ok, I should go sweep floor and get ready to go out.

Today woke up at 4.30am to send mummy to the airport. yawns. so early.
Then went to church. Yan and I were sleeping all the way on the bus. so shuang. Just that i keep on wake up cuz very scared miss our stop. We didn't in the end:) Reached church very early too. (as in early for service) So we went to 6th level to prepare for sunday school. I was helping yan help mummy to teach her class XD
Went to look at the junior side having 'worship'. They are super cute haha. Like Hannah, Tessa, Sarah etc. I cannot remember their names. Then our lesson started! The children were cute too. Most children are cute lah I think. They were rather cooperative I think. Like at least they listen and do things that we ask them to do. And their thank you cards and handicraft and stuff. Ended up lending them my markers after they saw the sample. Fortunately they didn't spoil them(i think. haven't check yet o.O) Some of them didn't want to colour lah. Just want to keep on cutting and drawing. Lucky we skip the boring part. Or else won't have enough time to finish. But had to like project/ raise my voice to give them instructions and stuff then after that throat not very good :X
Then there was youth service. Was on duty then had to sing. And there was youth camp briefing. I don't understand like half the things lah cuz I don't really get in to contact with that kind of things. Like what superhero and stuff. Haiz... die liao. I seriously hope it's not important. There's a lot a lot of foreign stuff that I cannot remember cuz seriously nv hear before -.- Well, but it's starting to sound a bit exciting. Seems like got a lot of games cuz like one day one service only and there are 5 days...
After that had cell sort of. Discussed abt cell outing and that's about it. Cuz Rayson had some teachers' meeting. Lucky auntie Marie-anne nv find me in the morning or else I'll most prob have to go too o.O And had carolling prac. Went there and learn all the alto parts on the spot cuz I didn't really listen beforehand oops. There's a solo. Scary:/ But it's a nice song fortunately:) Hopefully I don't screw it up. Ended quite late. Then today supposed to go ama house then in the end nv go. Cuz we haven't packed and stuff. Tmr then go ba. After the briefing. Sorry weishan :X
Oh I should go and send cell email now:)

Friday, December 05, 2008
I shall blog long long about NOEL! Cuz it's so exciting XD
Ok, we reached school at 2 plus like that. had warm ups and rehersal. and full run through. this part not that exciting lah. then had dinner. Yay! the trumpets were sitting together! Section dinner :) And there were funny stuff abt Lionel and his veggies haha. Then went to change and start giving out presents! I shall thank everybody that give me stuff here:)
Thanks Shimin for the flower and letters.
Thanks Sylvia for the lollipops and the letter.
Thanks Cheryl for the chocolate.
Thanks Yating for the marshmallow.
Thanks Jia Chen for the chocolate and postcard.
Thanks Liangsai for the chocolate.
Thanks Jiawei for the lily.
Thanks Caiqin and Zhijie for the rose.
Thanks Peirong for the rose.
Thanks Dina for the bag of food :) a lot!
Thanks Elizabeth for the 'red packet' given long way in advance XD
Thanks Yong Chian for the chocolate.
I hope I did not forget to thank anyone. Sorry if I did:/ And there are actually high school guys' names up there. See, ny is a good influence XD
Now for the actual concert haha.
High school band was starting so ny band and college band stay at rua to wait for our turn. Then suddenly Mr Leng came down and asked "Where's Shimin? It's past 7 already. Are we starting?" lol. nobody knows when to start. And I brought the ny juniors up to the audi to sit cuz their part after intermission. And soon, it was our turn!
Machu Picchu. It was very good! At least for Luther and I XD We managed to play the parts that we never managed to get correct during pracs:) Super happy. Yay! High five! Although it wasn't the best that we could play lah. Got some notes nv pitch and stuff. But aiya nvm. Those parts got like dunno how many woodwinds playing. We don't play also nobody know (i hope). Haha was very scared for the solo thing at F. Cuz super fast then normally cannot tongue properly. But I played it correctly!!! And so did Luther:) Haha a few bars before the solo he still offer to play for me. I think cuz before that I complain too much that I cannot play-.- And and the part where the band rest for 3 beats, we managed to play it too! It sounded ok at the time. But haven't hear the recording. I hope it's ok:) The last 2 notes were a bit weird though. I think the band nv play together or something.
Superman! Don't really have much comments actually cuz I dunno why I wasn't exactly listening to the song. Was like just playing and looking at the audience's reaction to the superman running ard. But I think it wasn't very neat. Jia Chen made the audience laugh though. And distracted the band too I think. That's why a bit messy. The last part was funny lah. Liuzhen waving the cape.
Then there was intermission. Luther almost forgot to play the trumpet call when Khee Xuan said 'trumpet call' haha. But intermission very weird. Like 90% of the audience stay in their seats. Then outside very little ppl only. Haha they all lazy to walk out. Audi nicer. Got aircon XD
After that was the nanyang band. I wanted to listen to Amanda's solo de but was too late:/ Nvm, there's always the recording(i think). I heard that Nanyang was good:) Yay! Well done juniors:)
Then our turn again! Threnody and Warabe-Uta fantasy. Not much comments also. The solos were ok. But different ppl had different comments on Threnody. Some say nice some say not nice. But I think what we played wasn't very fantastic lah. Can be improved.
Seventh night and gelato! Seventh night was not bad. But like a bit fast. The solos were ok too! Haha Sylvia said Luther's solo sounded fierce. Shimin's solo was nice XD And gelato was good too! The percussion did rather well. Jiawei said he liked it:) Luther said he was blasting but I cannot hear haha. Maybe cuz I play too loud le. Cuz like last song then such a nice song to blast somemore. So just play super loud. No need to save energy lol.
And there was encore. Waltzing cat. Haha Lionel and Irene were too much of a success. The song was not very good. Like only half the band playing. I forgot to play some stuff also o.O Like count count count then nv come in -.- Well done cat and mouse! They were very cute haha.
Oh and the emcees were very funny. At the end of the concert they said "see u soon!" Then after encore they came out again and said "Oh, we didn't think it would be that soon". haha. But thanks Sean and Khee Xuan for being emcees and entertaining the audience:)
Then after that we had to move everything back to salt. sighs. The band room really got a lot of rubbish lah o.O But we managed to finish it before the expected time! Yay! Haha but still quite late. So in the end I cannot go for supper:( They stayed until really late I heard. Then today all wake up super late.
Yay! I think we had lots of fun that day. Although it was tiring and stuff, but we see our efforts pay off. Sense of satisfaction :)
Ok, I think I'm done :D
Oh there are more pics on facebooks. And lots more with some ppl:)
