Hello, welcome to my blog! I love what I do, who I am. And I like to make people laugh, because it makes me happy. Heehee.

I just realised sometime ago that I don't know Gideon for a long time.
About 3 months?

And yet, we can have things to talk about.
Thinking back, CC4 Camp was a time when I was so depressed.
Because I felt I had no true friends.

And I thank God, for now I have friends like him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday,
I went out with Athan for lunch.
It was just our luck to meet the oblivious priest.
Then huiquan crashed in.
Irritating fellow.

After that,
we took 72 to Hougang Point.
Never seen Athan so.. sincere in wanting something.
Now I know what to get him for his birdday. :D

Then we went back to Hougang Mall.
Slacked at Macs, then walked back to school to wait for his father's car.
Then after that I went to take 136 home.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Today,
I'm slacking on the comp,
talking to random peeps.
I feel body aches everywhere.

Especially where the heart is.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, I've been digging up old memories.

I remember when I was in Secondary 2,
and I joined HI Idol.
Then because I didn't choose songs that portrayed my voice well,
I was put on the "maybe" list.

In the end, I didn't get in.
However, what strikes my memory is a certain person (let's call her A)
gloating over the fact that I didn't get in.
It was on her MSN personal message, and I approached her to ask if she was talking about me.
And she admitted it.

BUT!
Two years down the road,
where am I, and where is she?
I'm doing well in school, and IN Crowd President.
She's in and out of school as and when she likes.

But thankfully because of A,
I got to know Athan in the Choir KL trip in 2006.
I still remember telling him,
if you aren't careful, she will end up sticking to you next.
Athan, I don't know if you remember this,
but I certainly do.

Hoho. I still remember how Athan freaked me out with his story in the bus journey there.
At that time, Athan was still a tenor.
And the sops and basses shared one bus.
Now do you know who I'm talking about?

Today, I woke up and saw there was an sms.

"I just saw an old aunty reading twilight."

My first response was, who is this?
Then I saw, "Athan Leong"
And then my response was,
"-.-"

So random la he.
Dumb teddy bear, full of cotton. :D

---------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday was floorball heats.
Didn't get trashed like I thought we would.
In fact, I think I like floorball.
Even though we still lost, I think we had fun.

---------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday morning, Choir gathered at 6.45 am in the hall.
After rehearsing many times, we were rather ready to perform.
I held back my tears as we sang the two songs for the last time,
and for the sec 4s, our last performance with this HIHS Choir.
I think we did okay, the school wasn't very receptive to it.
But in my heart, we are the best.

---------------------------------------------------------

That's all I have to say for now.
I'm glad to be someone Gideon thinks of talking to when he's depressed.
Even though I don't know him for a very long time.

Emo cows are not fresh, because they lost blood due to self-mutilation.

First up, replies to tags.

gideon hahah, hello.
Elfie well. firstly, I apologise if i offended you. However, even if the rest read it, I don't think they would care. Would they? Sadly, I really don't think so. And I'm seriously sorry but there are some things I keep from you guys, but there are various reasons for that. Really. Hate me for it, but I'd rather you hate me than see a fake me.
Brian yeah! i miss it so much. ):
SHANNON lol, okay. thanks. :D
dead corpse i didn't know a dead corpse of athan leong could actually SING! @@

Okay, so tomorrow's my last performance with the HIHS choir. I have this melancholic feeling in my tummy. I don't want this to end. We step on stage, sing, then step off stage. The end.
No one but myself understands why I feel this way. It's weird not to have practice anymore.

It's like, I've lost something to look forward to and be excited for.

I'll miss all the practices, the laughter, and the singing.
I'll miss the music room, the people, the keyboards.
I'll miss you, choir.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hate the Vitagen advert with school students. Who ever decided that prefects are the creme de la creme?
They are NOT, okay.
I'm not speaking in general, just a select few.
Who totally disgust me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tomorrow is Sports Carnival heats. Pffffft.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a lighter note, remember that poem on "Love Your Neighbour"?

Monday, March 23, 2009

I wrote a poem for some poem competition.

The theme is "Love Your Neighbour".

Your simple smile
to the uncle next door,
may go the extra mile
and brighten his day more.
As Singaporeans, young and old,
we should be warm, and not cold.
Consequences are aplenty
should you not be friendly.
Racial riots, fights and strikes
just to list a few.
Love is a simple act
that starts with me and you.
Love your neighbour.

Though I already submitted it, please feel free to give feedback!
:D

♥{siying the mad cow} 10:04 PM

Yup. Yesterday during Chinese remedial, Mrs Ng smsed me to find Mrs Ku. I had won fifth in this competition. :D

Mrs Ganesan is a very cute teacher.

She "threatened" not to speak to whoever did not pass the Chemistry Semestral Exams.
So, siying being siying, asked Mrs Ganesan if she would still talk to me. Cos I was rather sure I didn't do well.

And she was like, "What."

And then she left me a missed call.

So I called her back and she said we all did fine, she's happy with our results.
And then I asked if she would still talk to me.
And then she said, "By calling you and talking to you now, what do you think that means?"

Seriously. She's one of the best teachers EVER.
And then she mentioned something about she saw my comment on her Facebook album, it was a picture of her niece.
The niece is adorable, and I commented that she looked like when I was young.

And then Mrs G said, "One day I will bring her to school. She is such an adorable girl, will just sit in one corner and not disturb. Unlike my son, run here run there"

O_O

She's hilarious.

Tomorrow is probably my last choir practice with the HIHS Choir.

Thinking back to where I started, I realise it's been a long journey.
I joined the CHIJ OLN choir in Primary 3, because it was a CCA that practices were in an air-con room.
The choir was still in newborn stage then, and we hardly knew what was going on. We were coached by Trevor Nerva at first, then it became Ms Lim Bee Na. This woman made me feel that vocal conductors are funny people.
And then, being as blur as I was, we participated in SYF 2004 without me even realising it was a competition. We got a Silver. It was the Choir's first award. I was in the first batch to participate in SYF and clinch a medal for our school.

And then I went on to HIHS. Initially, I wanted to join Air Rifle because it sounded "cool". Drama attracted me too. However, I still chose to join Choir.
I recall my audition was before the official one that most people went for.
So I sat in a seat at the side, and had an amazing experience.
The choir sounded beautiful.
And compared to the high, immature screeching voices at CHIJ OLN, this was a vast difference.
I was truly amazed.

Then I got into the choir, went on many overseas trips and performed in school and public events.
Three years passed quickly,
even my days as the Alto sectional leader.
I was nervous at first, afraid that I wouldn't be able to grasp the things I needed to know.
But hey, everything became fluid with time.

And now I graduate, probably never going to sing in a choir again.
I miss it all, but I guess these memories have made me to be who I am.

Eight years in a choir, and it ends this Friday.
But I never stop singing.

Right. The exams are officially over. for now.
To recline and relax, I shall post my FAVOURITEEEEEEEEEEEE video.
(I hear Zhiqi and Jasmine screaming.)



HAHAHAH.

Exams are fine, screwed up a little here and there. But at least now I know where I need polishing. :D

Results will start coming back soon.. Scary.

Very tired.. hahah.

Imy!

*edited*

I thought CC4 camp was gonna be my last camp until a long time.
BUT. I have to facilitate CC3 camp that is in July.
It's fine with me , actually.
Unless they decide to do "Are you a follower of Christ!" again.
That gives me the creeps.
Brrrr.

But I am still so very excited!!
Okay, I am just tired out now.

LOL.

Was attempting to find where I got the SINGOUT o7 pics, and chanced upon this blog...

http://talkingmallets.blogspot.com/
This guy is from PHS Band, and he attended SINGOUT o8.
So these were his comments:

Hey people!

Went to SINGOUT! 2008 just now with Surithi Joy, Jasmine Koh, and Vivien Soh! It was SPECTACULAR! After watching the concert, I miss my choir days in Primary school. Ahh. Nostalgia. T_T

Anyway, for those of you who did not attend the concert, then you should continue reading! For those of you who did attend the concert, well you should continue reading to see if your opinion is same as mine. Ahaha.

Title: SingOut! 2008
Participating Schools: Presbyterian High, Holy Innocents' High, St. Gabriel's.
Review:

Combined Choirs - Heart Of Worship
This is a great choice for an opening song. It was heartwarming and definitely welcoming, in a sense. Overall, the balance was pretty good. I give this song: 4/5 stars.

Presbyterian High School - Gaudeamus
Just a catchy song with catchy tune and a catchy rhythm. This song will definitely catch your attention. Balance was not bad. Although Jovi got me mixed up about the SATB parts. Haha. 4/5!

Presbyterian High School - Salmo 150
Was a hard song. Definitely hard. It was equivalent of Band's Scootin'. Haha. Articulation was the key. And tempo too. But couldn't really hear the basses. Especially the introduction. But it was a great attempt by PHS choir! (: 3/5!

St. Gabriel's Sec Sch - Kaze Ni Naritai
Was fantabulous. It's nice to know that although you don't know the meaning of the words, you still get the feeling through music. Hence, music in the language of the universe. Can't really remember if there was any solos, but St. Gabs' voices are nice! The way they sing has also emotions in it. Great song! 4/5!

St. Gabriel's Sec Sch - Were You There
It was also emotional and this song showed the colors of the TTBB choir. This shows that even if you just have guys, you still can make the song very emotional and moving. Again, the saints did an excellent job. 4/5!

Holy Innocents' High School - Blessed Peace
This song was quite nice, especially portrayed by a huge choir. Yeah, HIHS's choir is pretty huge. So they managed to pull it off! Great job! But on the contrary, the song made me yawn abit. But I still enjoyed it! (: 3/5!

Holy Innocents' High School - Dance of the Sugar-plium Fairy
This was a nicer song compared to the previous one. It was much more catchy and it can catch the audience's attention. The song sounds familliar though. It sounded like those soundtracks. Hm. But overall, it was fantastic. 4/5!

Presbyterian High School Alumni - How Deep Is Your Love
AHH! This song is just so nice and it's a very warm song. The alumni managed to pull it off well. Especially with solos and a beatboxer. Haha. Totally great job! Now I'm not sure if I like this one or the saxophone version better. Hahaha. 5/5!

Combined Leaders Item - The Phantom Of The Opera Medley
Familliar eh? Yep. Band played this song before. We have the score! Lol. It was a very nice rendition of The Phantom. Finally I know the lyrics of the song. I was just humming it just now. Hahaha. 4/5!

Combined Choir (TTBB) - Child Of God
This song sounds so familliar, especially the introduction. But it was a great performance! Very meaningful song, and the voices managed to send across the message. Haha. 4/5!

Interval

Combined Choir (SSAA) - Cumana
This song just made me go WOW! Especially with Suian dancing. She can do the rump/chacha/tango/ whatever that dance is called damn nice! It's really impressive! Haha, although the skirts looks like curtains! Haha. 5/5!

Special Item: St. Gab Sec 3s - You'll be in my heart
Simply magnificent. The balance was good. The soloists were great (*coughs and winks at councilmates*). Can see that they don't sing for the sake of singing. They sing, for passion. (: Great job saints! 5/5!

Special Item: HIHS Sec 3s - Breakaway
Very touching song. It was really nice to hear this song as a choral performance. But I think HIHS also lacks of Sec 3 guys. Coz there were only like 3 - 4? Lol. (: Great job HIHS! 4/5!

Special Item: PHS Sec 3s - I Sing You Sing
This song really sounded fun and interesting. The emcee (Crystal Ong!) said that it was a remake of a jazz piece? So it attracted my attention. Lol. 4/5! Jiayou seniors!

Holy Innocents' High School - Counting Song
This is the most interesting song of the whole concert. The title says it all. The lyrics of the song just goes from 1 to 100. It's damn cool!!! I give it 6/5!!!! Hahaha.

St. Gabriel's Secondary School - Any Dream Will Do
This song is also quite fun! Some more with all the soloists *cough at councilmates again* Then their actions are really damn hillarious. Hahahahaha. 5/5!

Presbyterian High School - Every Move I Make
This song totally reminds me of Shine Jesus Shine + Shout Your Fame. Hahahahaha. Great song though. Their dance moves were nice. Hahaha. 4/5! Oh, and Suian was at the front again. Hahaha.

Surprise Song for Principal Mrs Carolin Tan - Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Very touching song. According to them it was Mrs Tan favourite song? Lol. Great soli by choir presidents. Yeah, the song can really send me to tears. T_T 5/5.

Surprise Song for Teacher I/C Ms Serene Ng - ???
A surprise performance by St Gabs. Really touching song too! But emcee wasn't really clear. Maybe they didn't know about it. 4/5. T_T

Combined Choir - O Sifuni Mungu
Great song! Jovi has made me addicted to this song. Hahaha. Even the moves are fun. Haha. 5/5!

FINALE - SINGOUT!
Catchy catchy song! It's still stuck in my head. Very fun though. Also very AriseShine. Haha. Can see the memebrs really enjoying. Haha. 5/5!

---

Overall, SingOut was a great concert and it should have not been missed! I'm not sure that there'll be more SingOuts, but according to rumours, this is the last SingOut? Haha. If there is, I will definitely go and support!

replies to tags:

`Louis, Louis (W)
LOUIS WONG WEI LIANG! SPAM MY TAGBOARD FOR WHAT!?
lol, adam not man, eve not woman meh. lol to the science hod thing.

`Gideon
yes gideon. whatever, gideon gong foo.
we women owe you men NOTHING. :D

"Jiejie, you are my best friend."

The simplicity in those words, the sweet innocence of a child;
words from my six-year-old cousin, that struck a few chords and brought warmth to my heart.

She may irritate me sometimes, but purely because she imitates the actions of this elder "sister".

And I wonder, why are we not able to speak such kind words to each other?

How many friends of ours are really true friends? Friends who will always be there for us, to lend a listening ear, who will always listen to our troubles when we are down? Many of us have superficial friends; friends who will forget you after going separate ways, friends who just don't bother about you, "friends" who make use of you.

We were all born babies. What was it that made us so... fake?

Probably it is the competition to fight the demand of society, that we try to outdo each other. Nasty feelings are shown and we don't bother about the opponent. We just want to win.

Back to the topic on friends. I admit I don't have many true friends. At least, I have found Gideon and Louis, who have encouraged me when I was down, whom I can talk to about anything and everything. It is friends like these who make life really enjoyable. For that, thank you.

Then again, how great a friend to people have I been? Not very much, I would say. I admit I am self-centered and unwilling to share. But we all have our little imperfections. So why must people have huge mouthfuls of judgments to spit at each other?

And why is it so hard to show our true feelings? We have to hide and cover, afraid to let people know our true self.

Lastly, God created a man and a woman. But why is it that some people remain single and lonely for life?

I quote Gerry and Paul, my catechists. "What went wrong?"

Heyo hello.

Let's talk about yesterday.

School was alright, like usual.
After school wanted to go Hougang Mall eat Bak Chor Mee cos last day $2.90 offer, but Athan & co. wanted to go to Compass. So I go compass.
