Foreword.


I am forced by the passing of time, the transition of life stages, and the expectations of society to grow up and to behave like a "grown-up" (whatever that would constitute). But here, I would just be a little childish, a little self-centered, a little irresponsible, a little too honest but also a little too pretentious.

24, and still counting.



Flashback.

Kept all my past posts intact because my past was what made me, me. Deleting them doesn't change who I am so I revisit my memories sometimes, to learn and to laugh at my past mistakes.

(Just kidding, I revert some posts to drafts because I'm utterly embarrassed.)

taken for a fool ,
Sunday, June 26, 2011 | 2:38 PM



Full day band for the past three days . Thursday was rehearsal for yesterday's performance . Very very tiring . RV ishh a pretty demanding school . Had technical run for dunno how long , most poor thing ishh the back stage crew , who had to move everything and tio scold when things go wrong . It was one of those days when you feel like complaining about anything and everything . But of cause guai me as always kept everything inside me . :)

24th June (Friday) - Cluster performance ,

Yuhua and 3 other primary schools came over to perform with us at RV . Had great fun with the yuhua percuz . Love die their lovely sense of humor ( including their alumni's . heh . ) . Esp the time back stage . :x Truth be told , it was much more memorable than being onstage that day . The performance was horrible . Lawls . I think it was me who slowed everyone down during ' Memories of Friendship ' . No mood for band recently uhh , too long no prac then suddenly everyday got . Sian much ? Sadly , i cant remember any hilarious convo or moments about that day currently and i cant share the joy i had that day . Pity . :/

25th June (Saturday) - SYF showcase ,

Creepy ttm . Felt almost exactly like Friday except that Friday was more fun . Caught myself wondering where yuhua was throughout the whole day . Like , i keep thinking they're there when they're not and i keep looking out for them . Performance was better that day though . And cheers cheers ! It ended quite early . Went out with Fengxian and Malcolm for dinner at Carl's Jr. Sat there talking for like about 2 hours mostly with Fengxian asking cute questions and Malcolm sharing his epic life when he was our age . Tempted by him to do " exciting " things . LOL . And it was one of those moments when you wish time could stop and you could just sit there and talk forever .

Do you feel like i've changed ? I felt like i've change . And i start asking myself questions i've never thought of before .

would you play my song ,
Wednesday, June 22, 2011 | 6:13 PM



If i were a scale , i would chose to be a major scale . I never liked the minor scale much actually , what with all it's harmonic and melodic minors . Minor scales always sounds clashy to me . Like , you're not suppose to play this note but you have to play it , for well , it's in the scale . The notes sounds like it doesn't fit . And if it were a character , it would be of some character who have a different opinion which somehow always seem to clash with others , it's all about "clashing" , and if i dont watch out , i would sooner be a "minor scale" . Major scales are different , they sound better (personally) and people cans play them better (generally) .

They have this aural section in piano , (to test your pitching and hearing) , and there's this part in which the examiner will play a song and we have to answer a few questions about the song like , what era , what time signature , what expression and then , there's whether it's in major or minor . When i was younger , i will tikam tikam whether it was major or minor , i couldn't tell the difference between major and minor then . okays , actually , idk what's the meaning of that qns when i was younger . LOL . but now , when i'm asked that question , i'd chose minor if the song sounds 'clashy' , like , the notes collide instead of coming together in harmony . And yesh , i do get it correct (more often) now . :P


Recently , my days are filled with band agains , was thinking of something similar to the above when i was having sectionals . Just that i couldn't phrase it out in the exact feeling , tone and words now . :/ Anyways , i like Eugene Tang being in our section that twerp . Suddenly just snorted when it was totally quiet and Ms Chan was talking . AND THEN managing to keep a straight face but caused me to cant stop giggling . It's like those many times when i rmb a joke that i think was epic funny when i was getting scolded or counseled . And the more i try to stop laughing , the harder i laughed . One of the many moments in life of me doing something at inappropriate times .

` Friends are the enharmonics in music . Enharmonic sounds exactly the same , just that they have a different name .

Hearing those screamings behind those walls , my heart breaks for you and i feel so guilty . Always hearing you complain why ishh it so unfair . Why ishh it you he picked on instead of me . The thing ishh , the thing ishh he does pick on me . And the emotional pain he once gave me was worst than you cans imagine . He took away your freedom . Yesh . And mine too . He stole your childhood . That's what i have been through . He robs you of your joy and warmth at home . I lived four years more of that pain than you . He lash at you mercilessly . So did i suffer the same pain . What he din do to you , yet , was taking away the love others unconditionally gives to you . Dont whine , dont back down , dont think of ending your life , even if i said that before myself . Wait , wait till you find the girl who'll show you the world , then you'll realize , living ishh worth it . :) He might be able to break your smile into two , but dont let him break your heart or your soul .

someone of my own ,
Saturday, June 18, 2011 | 2:04 PM



Been a week since i last posted . Actually wanted to create a new blog and leave this behind but then , not really any significant happening for me to do so . And well , i realise i cant let go of all those memories . Anyways , been a very learning week . Almost everyday for the past week , i learn something new , had a new experience , or see a new place . ( and no i didn't really had much progress with my homework ) :x

Been doing this confession thingy on fb . Found out , and rmb things i thought i forgot while trying to rack my brains for confessions , for stuffs people din know , or might never guess about me . For the past year , i haven't really say things from the bottom of my heart , or deep in my mind online anymore . I was afraid of what i let slip , of what i dont want people to know , whether here on Blogger or on Facebook . As i grow up , i became more aware of my audiences , of who's judging me .

I realise with regrets that , though once upon a time , i will hang out with anyone who felt like fun or friendly , heck caring the rumors and occasionally their horrible attitude , i too , have became one of those type of people i hate , those people who wont be friends with just anyone . Those people who chose and pick their circle of friends , hoping to protect their heart and themselves from possible pains from others who might hurt myself .
And so today , i reflect and change . I shall no longer push others away from me , and be with them , cause i like their company , and not cause i want someone to take away my loneliness and cause i want to be able to accept everyone unconditionally around me agains . I really want to be a better me . And i do try , you'll see . :)


11th - 13th June (Weekends) - Over at Malaysia ,

Been to Malaysia . First time meeting my baby cousin who was born earlier this year in January . Cant help loving him . But after my granny of cause . (L) . I'm proud to say , that as i get older , i start to help out more with the housework and the cooking when i go to my granny's house . Had you seen me at my granny's house 2 years ago , i would be slacking in the living room , watching shows after shows , disc after disc , changing channels after channels , waiting for people to call me for meals , or going out to play .

But when i went back this time , i began helping out . Taking care of the baby , washing the dishes after lunch ( a huge achievement mind you . :P usually my granny's cooking made me so blissfully full i just want to go and slack at the sofa , which i've always been doing . well , till now ) , preparing the meals , looking after the baby , washing my own clothes ( hand wash ! ) etc . Maybe i'm trying to act guai in front of the baby ? haha . no . Cause i've come to see , what others have been doing for me . Taking care of me without complaints and i want to start doing my part . Er well ... bit by bit . :x

And the thing ishh , i do enjoy helping around the house . Esp spending time with my granny in the kitchen . Apparently , it makes her more happy than seeing me gorging down her food . And it makes me really happy too . Spending all those time with her . Though i'm like making things worse than helping . :x And looking after the baby , i learnt to be more careful . The baby ishh like real fragile ( oh and did i mention adorable ? ) and he'll really takes up alot of your attention . My favourite things about babies ishh their smile , after their tiny hands and feet . ARGH . i'm so jealous of his tiny hands !

` taught , by the tiniest beings of life , of how to love , and be loved . ♥


16th June (Thursday) - Percussion bbq ,

The second bbq i have in my 15 long tiring years of life on Earth . Yesh . Yours truly ishh tremendously good at exaggerating . But nevertheless , it's a fact . :P and this time , being the organizer of this really last minute thing , i was really happy that i went and that i made it happen . ... though idk if the others feel that it was as good as i felt .
Tried bonding with the year 1s and it was very .... trying . Seems like a long year ahead after the year 4s step down , which ishh a big worry ( referring to the year 4s stepping down , not the bonding with the year 1s . .... yet ) the year 1s seem reluctant to open up to the rest of the perc and idk why . :/ And sadly , not everyone went . So hopefully it'll be better next year . And i really do hope that the juniors will love taking photos more . It's very turn-off-ish that they dont like to camwhore .

BBQ was at Cassandra's condo , her awesome ttm parents helped us set up the pit and thanks to them it was very successful . First time in my memory cooking at the pit and hell was it exhausting . Good learning experience , and i think i DO have a talent in everything i do ! :D not the genius those type like , try once perfect but those GENUINE TALENTS , like , everything you try you cans do it right . Maybe not perfect but generally acceptable . Okays , shall stop my ego growing .


17th June (Friday) - On the fields oh-so-green ,

Eventful friday . :) Had AL test in the morning . Was panicking about it the night before . Felt like pon-ing at the last minute . But i decided to go in the end , cause i decided that even if i were to display and humiliate myself with my ignorance , i cans take this as a learning experience instead . And learn i did . Had drills in the morning . ALs were suppose to take the drills . When asked to volunteer , i did want to at a time , but idk why i had this feeling that i dont the the right to . Which ishh my biggest weakness i think . Another big mistake was taking antibiotic without taking breakfast . Guess i dont have to say more .

After leaving school , met up with Amy(L) and Gladys(L) to go shopping . Or so we thought . Had lunch at KFC before going to pierce my ear ( random crave ) then had a hard decision of where to go . In the end went marina barrage . First time being there . If only the weather was less sunny , everything would have been so much more perfect . Speaking of perfect , if i get to buy that singlet i saw at JP , then , THAT would have really been perfection . Haha . Really love going out with Au and Geeladys . Things that dont seem funny usually , suddenly seems hilarious . ♥

Oh and before i forgot , this ishh something that i want to rmb for life . As a reminder of how silly Amy cans be . Apparently , she know of this game in which you slap the person if he or she laughs , and if you yourself laugh , he or she cans slap you . So , the more you laugh , the more you're slapped , and the more you're slapped , the more you laugh . Well , until you get pissed of course . But idk why , at that time , the idea was so hilarious we couldn't stop laughing . LOL !

come and take a bow ,

Caught Tangled ( some pretty long ago de movie ) on tape yesterday . Pretty charming . Why din they make Rapunzel a Disney Princess like the princess in Princess and the Frog . :/ Though i admit it's hard to decide whether her image should be longggg hair or the final short hair . Speaking of Rapunzel , i think Barbie As Rapunzel not bad too . Got the disc of the movie since i was like , really young , when i had none of the family prob stuffs . Anyways , something i've learnt from Tangled ? Glowing hair cans be freaky to guys . Dont think too much . Sometimes , when someone leaves you , they have their reasons . Sometimes , when you hear some rumors , it might not be true .

Went to school to mug agains today . Well , tried to . In the end grab the holiday homework left in the classroom and zao to jurong library . You know , the big big one . The top floor cans eat one . .... Well , which ishh what i did . Eat . Eat . ... And eat . :x Speaking of eating , feels that i have quite alot of good food recently . P: And going to malaysia tomorrow morning . EVEN MORE good food . (Y) not that i dont worry about my appearance , i think my waist getting too big ler , :/ OH AND , talking about food , i think comics connection dont sell the Crayon Shin Chan biscuit anymore . Sad right . Idk where else to find le . Haish . Thank god there's always ice-cream ♥ Ah and i had Caramel milk tea at Koi today . Nice . :D

Hmmm ... i rmb i was saying something else before i got distracted . UH HA yesh . Was talking about today . So i went to Jurong library , din do much other than eat and laugh and laugh and eat there today . Then after that skipped lunch and went to the NEW Clementi mall to window-shop with Kellie (L) , i think she din really enjoyed herself but personally , i think it was pretty okays cause i got a new , and relatively cheap , pair of shorts . Although i do have quite alot of clothes already but they all very weird and unusual ( like seriously ) and i dont really have shorts so ... despite going broke , .... agains , really really hearts that shorts . Ahhhh .... ♥

things i've seen ,

4th June ( Saturday ) - It's Kungfu Time ,
Trained all the way to Suntec to catch Kungfu Panda 2 in the evening . Had Sakae before the show . My brother and my mother's first time eating Sakae . Undoubtedly interesting . My brother keep taking plates of food from the conveyer belt as though it's for free and all , should have brought him to those buffet type next time . P: Anyways , the show was not bad . Just that i din laugh as much as i expected myself to . They say it's not as nice as the number 1 de , but then , i never watch Kungfu Panda 1 before . The Panda's character reminded me of 3 ppl - Felicia Ng Shi Ni ♥ and Tan Jia Wen ♥ and Brandon Tan ♥ . Very blur , naive , cute , chubby , innocent and have a " fist for justice " ( kind-hearted ) , and esp Jiawen , will forever try to help others da bao bu ping although there's nothing she cans do to help in some situations . Very very fun people to be around uhh . Those personalities which you cans get jealous over . But nevertheless , there's sth every movie wants to bring across each time and in this adorable comedy , i learnt that love from the family cans get you very far .
Inner peace comes when you decide to let go and forgive ,


5th June ( Sunday ) - Out at (supposedly) Sungei Buloh
Bused around Sungei Buloh's sheep/goat farm , mushroom farm , organic farm , walking in the rain at all these a typical singaporean teenager would never thought about going to . Was there on a duty of taking care of little kids , a task given to me by the temple i once schooled at . The most memorable happening of the trip , was not only of that unforgettable friendship i've forged with this K1 little boy and his P1 brother , but was that of how i stood in the rain despite my own (serious) flu to shelter the little kids with all the umbrella i have on hand . We stood in a line , sheltering the kids from the bus to the entrance of the place and we made sure that not a single one of them got wet . If i were not so busy holding up an umbrella , i would have taken a photo . LOL . I dont know about those kids , but it's one trip that i wont ever forget anytime soon .




Finally satisfied my Subway crave ( FOR FOUR MONTHS OMG ) yesterday . But had tummy ache so din quite enjoyed it as much as i want to . Sigh . :/ Spent practically the whole morning in school today . Doing maths . :D Doing quite a abit of the holiday homework ler . But afternoon went to shop at JP agains . DARN . Everytime i bring money out , i come back with very very little left . Bought angry birds plushies today . Actually have been eyeing and saving up for this singlet for quite long but din get it in the end . ( Broke . Agains . LOL . )Anyways , my brother wants the angry birds too de uhh . Friends before self . Becoming my new motto . P: But brother in this case . Rented 'Inception' for him to watch too , though i've watch it i think it's worth sharing it with my family , but if he dont get the plot then a bit waste my money . :/ OH WELL , Aint about the money money money ~~

They say it's not the days that we'll rmb , but the moments that make the day , (L)

Oh , and girl i miss you . :(
