good friday!

hmmm. good friday was pretty cool. very very grand at my church. for the first time [well, at least for me] the church had strings! woohoo! and the girl i like was playing the violin, which so happens to be one of my fav instruments. YAAAAY! hahaha. :) so fun today.

went out with sam and taoyat to play pool today. ahhaa. still trying to brush my skills up. hahaha.

watching sound of music now.
God Bless, and oh ya!

`Happy Good Friday!

big bang to the end of O2

well, i guess today marked the end of the orientation 2 (o2). and boy did we end it off with a BIG BIG BIG BANG ! hahaha. was really damn fun doing all the mass dance at suntec. hahaha. while we waited for the music to come on, we were preparing ourselves at the fountain of wealth, doing cheers and just hanging out. yeah. hahaha. cause phoenix was positioned at the other side of the fountain, when the wind blew, the water was naturally "splattered" onto us. hahaha. but it was fun. that was just the misty part.

suddenly there was a huge jet of water that shot up into the sky, and all of us were like woah..... then the wind blew again, and this time, it seemed as if it was raining. hahhaa. but it was very fun! cause all of us were like trying to find a suitable place to hide ourselves from the arrow-like water. hahaha. very very very fun. then we did whiney whiney first. hahaha. couldn't really hear much, but yea, we did it. then tribal came next. my gosh, no one knew how to dance it lahx. so we were all like suakus looking at the ogls and the seniors as they did the whole tribal dance effortlessly. hahaha. very very fun! (the shaking for 10counts part was the best lahx!) then we did I Want You. hahhaa. still the all time favourite, we shouted our hearts out as we danced the chorus. hahhaa. really really cool stuff.

in between songs, we were all running like amd pigs around the fountain lahx. hahaha. some sing school anthem, some do some cheer, so machiam just run, like some 2.4km practice like that. totally rubbish lahx. hahaha. but it was a real cool experience. hahaha.

after that, we were officially dismissed. hahaha. so sad right? cause they said that they could only play 3 songs. haix. nvr do neutron, friendship and la bamba. hahaha. so the phoenixians just played black sheep- white sheep game. hahaha. until we saw the ogls at the stage area in the fountain dancing wat seemed to be la bamba. when we went there, they were doing some medley of moves from all the mass dances to dance to the song by j.LO. forgot the name of the song though... hmmm... anyway, it was really really fun. cause all the people from all walks of life were staring at us, as if we were in the play yard of the mental asylum. hahhaa. madness.

then finally we did la bamba, and before heading home, we did a series of cheers: ogl cheer [ everybody know the cheer liaox lahx. machiam change the yr 1s to be ogls automatically], vjc cheers, and duhx- for the vs-enthu guys, vs cheers. haix. really tiring. hahaha.

haiyah. O2 has generally been pretty slow and more to the boring side. but hey, we're brought the whole of suntec down at the end of it! hahhaa. i guess we should give some allowance to the new student councillors elects, cause this is the first time they organised it wat. hahaha. so might as well give them a lil support! hahaha. but they really put in a lot of effort!

i wanna be an ogl nxt yr.
if any of you got links for me to be one,
please tell me please...

:) thnx ogls, ct councillors, sc elects and everyone who made O2 memorable [well the last part, at least]

"no eye has seen,

no ear has heard.

no mind can know

what God has in store."

well then, i guess i'll just wait for God's instructions. His plan is perfect. and yeah., Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, but in all of your ways, acknowledge Him and He'll make your path straight. wow. this verse never fails to lift my spirits and encourage me to do something that's according to the plan of God.

wow. its 12.40am le. gosh. i guess i gotta go sleep, then wake up early early and check posting results, then either go out a happy man, or a worried man. but then again, i've got nothing to worry about.

"my LIFE is in you Lord,

my STRENGTH is in you Lord

my HOPE is in you Lord

In you , it's in you "

choir prac.

man, i love vjchoir. had prac as usual today. jonnie didn't come today, so it wasn't really a hysterical day for me. hahaha. had like 3h of sectionals with gabe lahx. sianx. haix. but it was really effective. at least i memorised the songs that we went through. hmmm..it was good. hahaha

and then, little did we know that cat high and commonwealth were in the house fer a workshop. and then mr kwei asked us whether or not we wanna perform for them. hahaha. we said ok lahx. it was 11.30am then. he told us to get ready by 12noon. wow. we bargained, only to get a 5min extension. pathetic if u aske me. haha.

and so we went to the hall to meet our "audience". ahhaha. cat high performed first. WOW. their sops were like girls, too bad the altos were airy (jeremy said so.), the tenors and basses not strong enough (as in bo sia). hahaha. btu they were really really very good. powerful. *no sarcasm* oh ya. cat high sang ronde and lukluk. hahhaa. very vey entertaining, and light hearted songs. ahahaha. very good.

commonwealth sang next, and gosh were they a loud fierce gang. hahaha. they sang mundi shouting and miao jia shao nu wasn't really very good. hoarse tenors i think. i dunnoe. ahhaha. but it was obvious who was the winner betweeen the 2 sec sch choirs. hahaha. `duhx- if u're an idiot, look at the length of this para and the one before it. the longer one will tell u who won. hahaha.

well then, we kept our promise and sang lily and pamugun for them. lily was alright lahx. *sarcasm* went sharp. hahaha. haix. warmups only. then we sang pamugun, we were on key! hallelujah! hahaha. but i think it wasn't perfect. not yet. still alot more dynamics can be added in i guess. hahaha. haix. but the young ones were obviously stunned at gracia's high pitched scream which can cause a cockroach to disintegrate if placed in front of her mouth as she screams. madness. hahaha. but it was good. not bad lahx.

after lunch, we had more combined. then later did we find out vs and tk choirs were in the house! woah! hahaha. after combine prac, jeremy, martin, matthias, edwin and i and the other tk gang went down to see them perform. i was just in time to see vs choir. haha. pokpok and salve regina. my goodness. they were quite boring for salve. saw some tk girls sleeping. hahaha. then pokpok came. alright lahx. no energy, nothing. basically BO SIA. haix. wat can i say? haix.

tkss was next. sang crown of roses and some other song. but crown of roses sure brought back good ol' memories when vs sang it in the 2001 syf finals. ahahaha. was good.hahah. obvious who won lahx. haiyooh.

but i think cat high thrashed ALL the other choirs flat. hahaha.
THRASHED.
of course that's exclusive of vjchoir.
sec sch- jc choir. cannot compare.
haix. we're not even ready yet lahx.

hahhaa.
man, i miss pamugun.
AND vjchoir.

:)

choir prac on the first day of the march hols.

argh. woke up at 7.30 today, and reached choir late. dang it. late by a few mins lahx. shitified. hahaha. dunoe how i coined that term. haix.

choir was alright lahx. first thing they did was sunset. gosh. wat a GREAT way to start choir prac. especially on a monday MORNING. hahahh. then we did lily and then pamugun. hahhaa. alright lahx. just that i felt i wasn't really warmed up enough, cause i was late. hhahaha. anyway, it was alright lahx. then basses and tenors had to survive a 2h ordeal with gabe. haix. did leonardo and go lovely rose. hahaha. combined sectionals. one page need at least 5 mins wan lohx. now that's wat i call intensive from the start. hahaha. nitty gritties. hahaha.

hmmm. ajc choir came today. they got a concert tml, so i guess this would be their final pract for the concert. so... errr... they were here? hahha. anyway, we performed for one another lahx. aj for us and we for aj. it was quite an eye opener. hahaha. havent heard ajchoir since the days when i was in S2, that was when tan en was in yr 1 at ajc. right? *caluclates with an abacus--- tick tick tick tick* ya. when i was in S2. hahahaha.

it was good.
good day.

oh ya. she came online.
since a million years.
hahaha.

pain in the mouth

argh. damn it. just extracted my tooths yesterday; 2 of them! irritating. but it wasn't as bad as the last extraction. the pain now is due to the fact that the dentist placed rubberbands in between my molar teeths. so irritating and painful lahx. the rubber was stretched first, thn placed in between the teeth. now its going back to its original shape and thus it pushes the teeth apart. damn painful and sore lahx. irritating. can't even eat jelly today lahx. stupid.

i haven't been online for so long that i've begun to be not used to the keyboard. haix. poor me.

these few days, i don't know why i've been alone by myself for many occasions. walking home, in my room, on the bus, in the train- all these activities and more were done all by myself. i've been so alone these few days. but the complaint's not that i'm bored and want more friends but rather, when i'm alone, all sorts of thoughts rush up to my head. not any ordinary thoughts, but thoughts that i should not be bothered with, but want me to bother it? hahha. no meaning. *i know* but this is the consitant thought that has been 'plaguing' me.

should i give her up? or should i not. i'm so tired of playing this game. but when i started to sms her again, haix. the feeling was not the same. it was rejuvenated. it seemed as if i was back to square 1. for many occasions, i thought about this, and recently, zuoyi lent me his cd. some sentimental instrumental cd. i was thinking about this problem and was listening to the cd at the same time. the music made me think a lot. to such an extent that i imagined her standing in front of me. but then, at the bilnk of an eye, she disappeared. i nearly broke down. till i took out a pc of paper and started to write my feelings down. that 'essay' is filled with nothing but sadness and anxiousness.

damn it. i really hate those feelings. really.
wanna tell her. but she's only S2. with so many ccas and stuff, i wonder whether she can cope if we do be together.
i dun wanna be the selfish idiot who thinks for no one but only himself.
i dun wanna be the person who cause her entire life to be overturned becuase of one wrong move.
all i want is to be with her.
but many things stop me. many many things.
i'm tired. weary about all that's happening.
joel tang: how can you have a crush for 7years?
i can't even survive for these few months.

*gosh*
if anyone of you knows wat i should do,
please tell me.
please please tell me.....

sorry, if u're offended by the language.
i'm really sorry if u're affected.
i'll try again when i get home.

O's results!

finally! its here. 28th february 2005- the release of the 2004 O level results. and boy, was it really exciting. haha.

went to school at 12pm for lunch with 4B'04 and yeah we sorta walked around the school and recalled the past memories. beautiful. haha. then we sat down at the gallery and played bridge. bryan and jason dunnoe how to play, so we, being nice people. taught them how to play. then some irritating S3 prefects told muzzy that he was one of the top students cause his name was on the notice board behind the office. haha. so being people who have to see to believe, we went down. literally frantically to the board.

by the time we reach there, there was already a visible crowd who gathered to see the list of names, as if they were searching for their toto numbers like that. at that time, it was already 1.15pm. and then, muzzy and i saw our names. haha. under the 9-pointers section. WOAH! it was just so amazing for me. then i started searching for my name again, as if i wanted to relive the excitement. and when i was doing just so, i realised samuel and liang hong scored 7pts, jason scored 8 points, sean, muzzy and myself scored 9 points. when iu turned around, i saw my very own classmates visibly scared and to some extent disappointed that their names weren't there. encouragement started. well we had to. we were in this together, and are still doing so.

and so we waited until the time came. slowly everybody started to pour into the hall. cedric, izzat and many others all started to come into the hall to await for that special moment. and finally, the official time came. 1400h. haha. all of us were gathered at the hall. with 2 tables with stacks of books and papers to be given out. haha. but the most important of all was the exam slips which mr zuraimi himself held it. stress right? haha. :)

mr ang, principal, had to say some stuff before the release of the results could commence. we were all darn anxious lahx. he told us, out of the 386 candidates this year sitting for this exams, there were only 13 people who scored above 20 points. haha. we were all damn happy lahx. haha. :) then he said that without the 13 ppl, mean L1R5 is 10. inclusive of the 13 ppl, it would be 11. but anyoway, we'd be in the second band of schools now. ahha. really really really good. haha. then he said that we were the best batch of students for at least the last 10years! hahha. woohoo! pro not?

and when the signal was given, one by one, everybody went out to collect the slips lahx. but soon, it was my turn to collect. haha. i saw the breakdown of my points. so here goes:

English - A2
Combined Humanities (GSS) - A2
E Maths - A1
A Maths - A1
Chemistry - A1
Physics - B3
Art for AEP - A2
Higher Art- Distinction
Chinese - A2
total L1R5: 9pts

haha. i was like: WOAH! hahhaa. when i scrutinised the results, i was schocked that i scored an A1 for amaths lahx. haha. i mean i was one of the many who failed amaths for prelims wan lohx. haha. like 47 i think. then after mod, then i waspushed up to C6 lahx. hahha. never did i expect myself to score an A1!!

and then, for art, i expected A1 and merit for higher art. but i scored A2 andn distinction! hahha. so fun. haha. that means i did well for my painting and my theory lahx. haha. i was the only one to score a distinction for my higher art paper. haha. cool not? haha.

but really the whole thing. this whole O level thing has really been a miracle itself. and really, it's by the grace, mercy, wisdom and help that God has given me, that's why i did so well. Nothing is impossible for God. With man, this is impossible. but with God, all things are possible. i really wanna thank Him for ALL that He has done for me. from the prelims to the actual exams. from the practs to the written. from the mcqs to the essay and the structured. it's been really amazing at how much God can do... haha.

so i guess i'll do the same next year.
when i take the A's.
of course hard work does play a role,
but still Trust and Obey!

~Hallelujah!
To God Be The Glory!
