Its a Sunday, the end of the weekend is coming. But nevermind, I'll enjoy whats left of it. Did I ever tell you how much I look forward to weekends? A lot!
The week was rather hectic.Chem remedial on Tuesday, rush home, rush to 3rd lang. FH was there instead of FA. Apparently FA's son was terribly ill. But she was back on Thursday, and her son was back from hospital already. Poor boy.
Thursday, music practical, rush home, rush for 3rd lang.
Friday was music lesson. Surprisingly, we got to know our marks. Some teachers do learn. Instead of waiting for people to pester them, they take initiative and tell them what they want to know. Well, I didn't do as badly as I thought, in fact I got an A. I was very pleased, until I saw that I had the marks of 2 sections changed. I could have gotten an A1, but someone thought I didn't deserve the marks. What can you do? T(f) came in to observe the lesson, and of course, had a good laugh when we had to present what we remember for harmony. "read the score..."
I planned to study on Saturday, but all I managed to do was waste my Sat. away. Well, not exactly waste, I did finish 2 pages of geog., practiced piano, talked to MM, went for lesson, talked to lg. So, it wasn't that bad.
Today though, I AM going to do some maths!
At this rate, I'll need plenty of luck with studying and finishing everything before the exams.
So wish me luck

So, second week of the term. Monday, no music. Yup, no music, and instead what do we have? CHINESE PRELIM!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful exchange. Any week that doesn't start off with music is crappy. Lets hope this one isn't.
Anyway, @ last, I've seen Mean Girls. 4gg didn't like it, too bitchy, haha. But hey guess what? I loved it! Its an ideal teenagy, gossipy, right on film. Any bitch, gossipgirl, victim would like it.
Enough of raving, I'm in a dilemma! I don't know what to play for exam. MM thought I'd be able to brush up the Mozart Sonata enough to play, but she seems to be wrong. My exam piece is slightly better, but the exorcist "over practice" is forever hanging over my head. That Nata woman thinks I'm playing exam piece, MM thinks I'm playing sonatina; who is right? Of course, I'm wanting MM to be right, but reality check - thats rather impossible. I'm trying like shit to get parts right and make the whole thing sound together, but guess what, its not working. Oh well, we'll see on Wednesday night. Start placing your bets.
Exams are like 2 weeks away. I have 10 subjects hanging over my head. 2 weeks for 10 subjects. Thats what it sounds like (if I'm going to start studying now). But thats just not going to happen. The best I'll do is 2 days before the paper. I'll see how I'll survive, especially for Chinese. Actually, it seems rather dumb, doesn't it? Slaving the night away for like 20 marks. The rest of the paper is unstudiable. Why can't it be like English? Hey I take that back. I guess if I study I'm guaranteed 20 marks, but thats just not going to happen. I'd better start thinking which subject to drop (not that I've been thinking about anything else the whole year).
This year is just going away too fast. Germany trip is over, ZZJSJ has been presented, all other events which seemed huge @ that moment seem like tiny specks of paint that make up a whole bigger picture which is still growing.
I wonder what this picture will look like when its finished.

Freaky!!! Talking to MT is forever draining. She always has to touch on touchy topics. What makes her so sure I'll tell her whatever she wants to know? But then, ,....I have to, in order not to have to think its me whenever something goes wrong as she is prone to do with ppl in her black books.
So, its another Friday, the start of another weekend. We'll see what kind of weekend this will turn out to be. The only thing I'm looking forward to doing is watching Mean Girl JL so kindly lent me on Sunday. In the meantime, I have yet to prepare to CL prelim, clear hw, and start to understand stuff those adults are dumping us.
wish me luck

Well well well, its been two consecutive days of exam. Yesterday was piano and today was oral. Talk about making up for the bad. I'd have settled for an average of the two.
The only fruitful thing I did yesterday was going through the piano exam, and actually that wasn't really very fruitful. I didn't go to school, and had a blissful time sleeping for another 2 hours. (a secret: sleep does wonders) I then spent the next few hours starting the day. That inclues breakfast in fron of the TV. Then ofcourse, since it was the big day, practice had to be done.I was satisfied, scalres and pieces andall. So, I went for lunch (Macs), then took a leisurely walk to the library where I busied myself reading about Beethoven. In case you didn't know, he is my favourite composer. At just the right time, I took off for th MRT station. Calming frantic butterflies in my stomach, I went up to the balding old man at the register. Actually, he's quite a nice balding old man. That nata woman came up and did the 'calm the student' act. Whatever. So, I went in, made a show of being confident and experienced, adjusting the chair, testing the piano...and started. How wonderful, I totally MESSED UP my first piece. Started of at the wrong tempo, hit wrong notes...argh...The second piece was better, but I had to hit some keys the wrong way...Third piece, also hit some keys the wrong way. Can there never be a perfect performance? I'd say I played about 70% of what I was capable of yesterday. Scales was fine, until I messed up Ab minor arpeggios. Shit, I got two chances, and both times, I corked up! Damn! Sight reading was satisfiable. Aural was the best, though not perfect. So now, I'm holding on to that thin strand of hope that I will pass.
Today, English oral. Being register number 3, I was with the first batch to be tested. Passage was as usual, a piece of cake for me. I turn around, looked at the picture, and almost fainted. But of course, being me, I didn't. I took a good look at the picture and analysed it properly. Done with that, I started thinking about the conversation topic. You could imagine my joy when I came to the realisation that it would be about music. The passage was about music, the picture was about malay music, the conversation had to have something to do with music. How wonderful, they could ask anything they liked and I would be able to spout out the correct response. I always thought that I would go to Soon, and I did. Dare I say it was a breeze? Yes I dare. It was a breeze. I'm sure I aced it. Well, at least I'll do well.
Just why couldn't my piano exam have been half as good........

Today, start of the term. The last time I posted was 911. I should have mentioned something about that fateful day 3 years ago. I remember I didn't hear the news till I went to school. Well, I shan't drone on, pray for them.
So today, other than MS's talk, there really wasn't any first day or back to school feeling. It was the usual school day, YMM did her usual crap and sidetracking. I told like the whole world I wasn't going to school tomorrow, whats wrong with me...Assembly was Y talking.His usual before exam talk, but this time it was survivalble.
During music, we did romantic period. Quite interesting. We went through the german lied where T(m) believed he was embarassing himself with his german. Actually, it wasn't anything much, but of course we had to play along. Then he got so amused by the story of Berlioz writing the Symphony Fantastique.
Its funny, in school, when things happen, I think of how much I'll have to type tonight, but when I get down to typing, it doesn't seem worth writing.
But then, now I have to worry about my exam tomorrow and the many tests I have to study for. I'm seriously so dead, I'd be dead lucky if I pass (not that I'm not expecting to)but...oh well...I'll just pray that my fingers will decide to be obedient tomorrow.

good luck to me

Its been a oh so long time since I've told you guys what has been happening. Must have missed me. Nevermind, I'm back! So this so called holiday week, has been the worst september holidays I've ever lived through. Hopefully there won't be another one quite like it.
Monday to Wednesday, spent the day @ the German School in Singapore. There was no welcome or whatsoever save for a teacher getting us into the right classes. In class, we were totally ostracized. There we were sitting in the corner, and nobody giving a damn about us. Teachers said 2 sentences to us and left us to ourselves. But again, I'm always fair. There was this girl who really tried. She waited for us for every lesson and more or less led us. Right, thats one down. This went on till the last day, during English lesson, when the teacher was actually interested enough to initiate interaction between us and the rest of the class. So began an exchange of questions. 2 girls were especially interested. The rest were trying I guess. So that ended the 'immersion' programme at the german school.
Thursday was spent holidaying, reading the latest gossipgirl I've at last gotten my hands on my reserving it.
Friday, CIP @ old folks place. Started of awkwardly, but thanks to a few old people who can talk, and were interested to talk, we got of the day quite well. I spent the rest of the day reading the second A-List book!
And that was my 'holiday' week. At least I got to read my books.

New teacher today. She sucks. Ok, lets be fair, she's new, I'm prejudiced. So, she's lively, short, auntie, ok...whatever. I can live with her, but this dunnowhatnata woman just doesn't measure up to MM. ( Tjakradinata) She speaks funny, doesn't listen, jumps to conclusions...Ok, I'm being unfair again. I've just said I can live with her and I'm going to. But I also said she doesn't measure up to MM, I don't think she'll ever! And one more thing, I'm not even in the same room! I'm using Irene Lim's room. Her cramped, small really tiny room! Urgh...MM must leave...Irritating, all good teachers leave after a short while and we all get stuck with teachers that don't measure up.
Ok, thats all I'm going to moan about that nata woman. I'll tell you about yesterday's Music of the Hearts, the Cristofori concert. It was actually quite cool, though WC and I made it seem like it sucked. Ok, some parts were rather childish (they were by children afterall), but some parts were rather touching too, and some were just plain amazing. The touching part was seeing the visually handicapped ppl play, you seriously get really amazed. And the amazing parts were parts where NJL played. He is really so so good. I saw him @ the masterclass the other time, said he wanted to be a pianist, Dr. W said he had potential. I'll repeat, he is really good. WC and I each got a picture with him ;). We crapped the whole night through and had plenty of fun. Pity MM wasn't there though.

At last, I feel like writing! Its been a week. The most exciting (hmm is that the right word to use) thing about the week has been teacher's day. On Monday, the highlight was T(m). We placed his card and present on the ohp while he went out of the class for a while. When he came in, he walked all around, and apprently didn't see the large black bludge on the screen. When at last he did see it, ( like 5 minutes after he came into the room) he picked up the card, read it, and thank the class. Only like 10 seconds after we asked the degree of his specs did he see the box. Blurrly looked @ it, picked it up, I told him he was supposed to take it out and turn it around, he did, didn't say anything, passed it around as requested. Only when Ruth pointed out to him did he see his name engraved on the pen. How blur can a man get...
Tuesday, celebration day! After concert, which was quite cool, (CR got 3rd for student spies, something I'm quite pissed off about) everyone trooped up stairs. I was very impressed by what those who stayed in class had done. Everything was very nice. We then spent 20 minutes waiting for our form and asst. form teachers. Finally, they came up and we could start. "Happy birthday" sounded and present presentation began. This repeated for everything teacher that we dragged in. Oh, did I mentino phototaking aka. getting wet? My wonderful camera pistol. "say cheese" and out spurts water. MN was the best sport about it, though MG was pretty enthu abt it too. What was supposed to last for 45 minutes ended up lasting for 90 minutes. But it was all worth it. Nothing lost too, since primary school have no half day.
C and I managed to drag Jeremy back. Though I felt quite sorry for him there, there really wasn't anyone for him to see. It was good to see everyone again. And as usual we went off together to Macs.
Was a good week. Made even better just now by my opening emails that are actually real emails other than newsletters and stuff.
