Okay, I'm always late with these things, but the BLASTED PW CYCLE IS FINALLY OVER!
Our whole group stood around and prayed before our OP so I actually wasn't really nervous at all, I was more worried that my cough was gonna act up but it didn't! ^^ OP was pretty alright in the end, except according to a few people I gave the examiner a Death Glare while answering my question. It was apparently when I said 'mercenary'.
Thank God for giving me a great group and Mrs Dhillon, especially for the group: we've had many madcap adventures, from taking photos with recycle bins to Martha Stewart wrapping sessions and Borat video watching. It was a blast with you guys!
( Brought to you by GO GREEN! Singapore. )
Went Sentosa yesterday...class outing but it only ended up being a minor portion of my class. We had fun though! Even though we didn't do anything. Played frisbee, played cards, sat around and talked, some of us went swimming while the guys were away and there was a mad rush when they came back, and oh! I did my very popular crap fortune-telling! Seems like Adam will be the father of many children and Darren is a total pimp. Lol.
Photos uploaded later when trees sends them ^^

OKAY TAGGED: ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) joeysays, stiffjazz, whatam_idoing, stineeee, reiterating, and ADAM!
Pak I will do your long meme next entry. It's too DAMN LONG.

stolen from _bwahahaha because it too looked like fun!
So, here's how it works:
Open your music player (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc).
Put it on shuffle.
Press play.
For every question, type the song that's playing.
When you go to a new question press the next button.

Well, Lisbon's left.
There's honestly so much to say that I can't seem to say anything. Try as I might, i couldn't keep her. Suffice to say though, I cried my eyes out.

One day, I shall visit the Castle of São Jorge.

Went out with Venetia today before Rwinds prac to Island Creamery where we sat and gossiped and talked a lot. An incident happened with the bus before we got back to RI, then there was RWinds prac and I started realizing that maybe Mudpie and Fries were not a good idea when I had a sore throat.
Well anyways, that aside, I realize I've totally been neglecting this blog. Well yeah, what's come around since I last updated:
1. PROMO RESULTS ARE BACK.
BBBBB. Yeah. B^5. I'm pretty miffed with that, particularly since I was freaking close to A for 2 subs. And yeah, completely screwed up Math and GP--as expected my hippie speech of an essay nearly failed me.
2. OPEN HOUSE IS OVER.
Thank the Lord. 'nuff said.
3. Have gone through a multitude of post-promo activities.
Including, watching 3 movies in 4 days with the same person (Carol! Though I had a great time catching up with you.), attending a..talk/conference and sitting through a particularly odious speaker, forgetting to get off the bus and ending up in Choa Chu Kang when I REALLY needed to get back to RJ, going to a Singapore Biennale Installation Art--the one with the trampoline and the pavilion--with 2 gymmers/ex-gymmers and practically making a clean sweep of all the prizes, and GETTING CALLED A LIAR (huh brian chua? HUHH?)via a sulky phone call while I was at church.
Things coming up:
1. PW OP + I&R BURN IN HELL.
2. A heck lot of band admin stuff and many things to settle.
3. MUST MEET WITH ELLEN! (how was France and I didn't pangseh youuuuuu!)
4. Watch Death Note with Juee.
5. And..get back to doing work before my brain rusts, dies and I suddenly find myself brain-dead panicking a week from As.
P.S. Yes hellcyon, I know you tagged me. Will be doing it soon!

So Uncle Tony, my neighbour has passed on.
When I was younger, he was Santa Claus, partly because of his potbelly and because he always gave me presents at Christmas. Then he was Tony the Tiger, because I'd discovered they'd had the same name. I was never close, just salutations when we met each other, as neighbours do, and I grew up the most interaction I'd have with him would be at Chinese New Years where he'd always give $10 angpaos.
He had this ridiculous obsession with gold and golf clubs; I know my parents always joked about him shining his gold clubs all the time, and how he tried to persuade my dad into joining a country club--Dad never did, he's the sort of person you shouldn't let near golf clubs. He had a rich rumbly voice, the sides of his eyes always crinkled when he smiled and his hair was thick where he wasn't balding.
When I went to pay my respects just now he was such a far cry from what I'd always remembered him to be that I wish I hadn't gone to see at all. His hair is cropped short and close to his skull and he's awfully thin. He succumbed to cancer in 3 months, and he's barely past 55, it's just overwhelmingly sad.
I didn't know what to say to Wendy--who's only a year older than my brother--so I just quiet.
The smell of joss-sticks still clings to my hair.

Meanwhile, I have changed layout! See what I have been doing while I'm supposed to be studying for CTs this is very very bad. Picture from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=92.2) foto_decadent, Solitary Refinement, November 2004. Photographer Mario Sorrenti, model Ruslana Korshunova.
And doing Chemistry has sent me in spasms of panic. I realize that I CAN do most of the questions from the past year papers(hurrah!), but I do it at the speed of a toddler on a tricycle. Okay I realize some toddlers actually can cycle pretty fast and it's all subjective but ARGH YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
This, incidentally, was composed during a Chem mugging session:
last words
My pencil is sharp
My parents harp
My subjects suck
I'm out of luck
Oh heck, I wail
I'm gonna fail.
And so it begins tomorrow! Even though I don't take Econs, but so begins Der Untergang.
[edit: Mother dearest says I will be grounded if I get below B for any subject. BELOW B!?!!? However, my friends have been most encouraging upon hearing this piece of news. A splendid example would be Benny's uh I think you're dead already. Which I most probably am, but yeah. Aren't friend's supposed to show some SUPPORT? Okay fine, maybe they're not supposed to delude you. GARGHHHH.[/edit]

So, after a week of stalking Mr Oura, and him studiously refusing to pick up my calls and only replying mundane messages, my Klever Plans have finally borne fruit! Whilst I was practising piano two days ago, I realized that the day after was a Friday. Which meant: RI BAND PRAC. So I dialled up reiterating, and with my heart bursting in my chest, asked him if they had prac tmrw and if Mr Oura was coming. The former was affirmative, but the latter was a little iffy, since they'd had problems trying to contact Mr Oura too.
So I decided to camp out at RI band prac and foist myself on Mr Oura when he came (but mainly because I had to go RI to open the Varese anyways). And as I mounted the steps towards the RI band room, who should come traipsing across the upper floor but MR OURA!
Fate, my friends. Fate.
"MR OURA!" I exclaimed loudly, and dashed up the rest of the stairs. I suspect I was beaming like a madwoman, because (or maybe it was my imagination) Mr Oura looked extremely suspicious of me. "Hullo," he said warily. "Mr Oura," I said breathlessly. "Could I talk to you during break?" And he nodded, and later we had a discussion and that was probably the most triumphant I've felt this whole week (seeing as how I cannot, at this point, be triumphant that I have started revision, or finished a topic or something that is not a good indicator of how my CT results are going to be like).
Other than that GERMANY VS SWEDEN TONIGHT. GO GERMANY! I have since, besides being fond of Ballack, Klose and Schweinsteiger, have also become fond of Lahm (isn't he CUTE!), although I still don't really trust Lehmann. But FAITH! Germany will prevail. And I(as does glassyeyed, I presume) do hope Klose scores many many more!<33

Okay this is really bad. I am so behind on updating my friends page has gone on for miles and miles and miles and I still haven't updated. BUT WELL! HERE WE ARE! Of course, in typical majorlysummarized!fashion.
( The Chronicles of CCAL Camp )
( And then it was on to CAP )
Notes of thanks will come later...I cannot compromise my already lagging mugging schedule (actually, WHAT schedule!?).

Okay I have finally, FINALLY returned to civilisation, after one whole week away from home and internet access (it shows something, doesn't it, that internet access comes right after home? in my defense however, home = friends/family/everything that makes my heart go all warm and fuzzy). Before I plunge into my ultra long updates on CCAL camp and CAP however, I have finally found what I forgot to update half a million years (okay, 3 months) ago.
( So sighhh here you go Kira )
Updates will be coming, uh, soon. Fear not, Mich.

SO! Bensen says the plan is to, once we get to RJ after ccal camp, dash off to NUS and show our faces as fast as well can! And hopefully we can settle down quick and go for Performance Workshop before we get thoroughly skewered. I don't precisely see why we won't be getting our certs, but it doesn't really matter to me anyways, so yeah.
That brings me to ccal camp of which I must confess I once was utterly disappointed in, after someone told Darren who told me it was going to be 1yKOMG A RESORT! Of course we were unquestionably deluded (this brings to mind _ensnared's exceedingly unsympathetic laughter) so it'll be an adventure(yay! I say dully and bitterly)camp.
OH LORD OH LORD I AM SO SCREWED.
In case anyone hasn't noticed I am not adventure camp material. I was all smug and gloating when I returned, un-insect-bitten and un-sunburnt (due to the large quantities of insect repellant and sunblock sacrificed) from OBS in sec 3 and I FEAR THIS IS MY COMEUPPANCE. Since it is virtually impossible to recreate my obsessive behaviour in sec 3, much less outdo it, i fear the worst.
I suppose I'll be turning up at CAP 2 days late, with skin hanging off various parts of my sandfly-bitten body. -shudder- GOD FORBID.

Since the beginning of this year, thesoyabeans (I have absolutely NO IDEA why that's our clique name. Joey initially wanted joeynfrens [OBVIOUSLY rejected] or some weird combination of 3 numbers [to try and sound like some street gang, although, again, I cannot fathom why]) has been throwing a surprised party for almost every member of our clique.
Considering our vast experience, it is surprising (haHA!) how we always manage to bungle it up.
( Christine's Party )
Turned out Brian, and the immense amounts of food her maid had been cooking had sparked her suspicion. Bleah, but it was fun anyways. ^^
That aside, my holidays are crammed. 27th-30th May would be CCALeaders Camp @ Bintan, 29th May-2nd June would be CAP @ NUS. Then there's A Tempo on 9th June, band chalet from 12th-14th June and Invest on 15/16th June. WHICH LEAVES ME NO TIME TO MUG FOR CTS ARGH. Oh, and regarding the 2 camps, I cannot fully express how pleased I am to be able to take part in cap again, it will be akin to a reunion, I say! But arghhh the camps clash...still in the process of debating (with Bensen, who is in the same situation) what to do. ccal camp would be 125 bucks, cap is around 200 bucks; if I go for both, and pay full for cap, of which I will miss 2 days, I suspect my parents will be vaguely unhappy.
Oh well, I'll have to see how it goes then, currently will probably only turn up for CAP on the 31st of May, which is well, better than nothing.

I suppose I have completely given up on blogging regularly. At least, during T3H VEEK OF HELLLL (actually it's technically over since Chem Spa, which was easy but I FUBARed, and PI are done! haHA!) and with so many assorted things (some which I couldn't care less about) going on at the same time.
( But! I have been summoned out of my funk by a particularly funny episode during Lit today: )
Whereupon Darren and I burst into uproarious laughter; I have since spent the day wondering how my Lit has degenerated.

No, I am not about to let this place die. Just that I've been coming home so late (in preperation for [SHAMELESS PLUG] PLAY '06, 9th/10th March, PAC @ RJC, 7.30pm, tickets at $4 ONLY! [/SHAMELESS PLUG]) and been so tired these days I haven't been bothered to update. Bleah.
for better or worse I suppose I will be giving up my secrets. Hmm.

Foreword: If you're looking at your friends page and wondering WHY this entry is only showing up now: I updated on Thursday, but somehow it didn't show up, so I fixed it and uh, now it does! (I say lamely.) Chinese New Year has been exceedingly eventful, and will be blogged about. Soon.
Actual entry
I have a feeling I'm going to die for math this year. As in seriously, get-trampled-by-stampeding-GCs-until-my-body-is-an-unrecognizable-mess, kind of death.
Math was just bad, in the sense that I forgot to bring everything related to math today. like, no Chapter 2 math notes, no The GC, no Tutorial 1. So I spent math lecture scribbling on Gerald's notes (while he happily nodded off).
( But the real challenge was math tutorial )
I suppose you can tell why I am loathe to cancel Math tuition.
