Thursday, October 30, 2008 ; Chinese A Level

today marks my first A level examination.my.i couldn't believe i was feeling so carefree and without stress throughout the 3 hours.if only i can feel like this for the other subjects.

The MAJOR problem of the paper wasn't its difficulty.more or less.as i thought.it was reasonable and was fun to do.it wasn't because the people sitting beside me were ugly so i had a shock,it wasn't because the bearded invigiliator was so beleaguering.it was the staggering cold of the air-con.

i really should not have sat in that compromising position with the air blowing right at me.i went in hot.came out freezing.after the 15 min break between part 1 and 2,i was cooling down much too much and presto! while i was doing the 2nd comprehension i was on the verge of shivering.
never had i felt so cold and desperate before,my body had small little spasms which i hoped no one observed.my teeth chattered when i put them together and i had trouble breathing.oh man.
concerted efforts to rub my arms did not help.

i felt i could just snatch the sweaters away from those who sat nearby.gah! but nevertheless.it was relieving after the whole fiasco.i shall never sit there again.or at least.i shall bring TONS of sweaters and a thermos flask to keep myself from entering cryostasis.

i need all the luck i can get for OP.good luck jixian! and hope you enjoy the 5-hour band prac tomorrow.

Monday, October 6, 2008 ; propitious impression

there is a something which keeps tugging at my heart strings.whenever the sun and moon takes a turn to watch over the earth,in the stark light of morning,and the equivocality of night.she always appears to be stalking my thoughts.the dagger pierced so deep it cannot be removed,unless by seemingly magical forces.why oh why am i so inflicted with such feelings.

things come and go.seasons change.but it has been for a year.this profound mystery still settles its roots deep into the ground.no excalibur would be mighty enough to fell it.and though i don't think i'll ever get to taste the sweetness of the fruit,i still clasp the hope of a final felicitous ending to this situation.

everything is unique.everything is wonderful.have i ever discovered a single blemish yet? no.it is as flawless as a diamond.the silhouette of her back mesmerizes me whenever i see it.just like the serpentine eyes of medusa.the bag which is seen conspicuously has me heads over heels.the sign that she is near.her voice rings fairly deep,with a tinge of authority,does that mean she's going to say no? but her buoyant smile paints a perfect picture.something so valuable that no amount of gold will change.

the instrument plays beautiful music.how chimerical would it be for her to play it for me? i have yet to speak a single word,but deep down,the frenzied feelings scream for air,for some type of emancipation my rationality would not condone.to forget all these,i will have to be brainwashed.

how could one be expected to be so pretty to another is an esoteric matter.perhaps to the few.like me.maybe one day.i will become bolder.maybe one day.someone will take notice of me.that's when i can stop taking fleeting glances at her.from far away.abashedly.

it is coming to an end soon,the year.what the future has in store for me i do not question.whatever the outcome.it is fated.crying out loud about my iniquities never help.so does a bitter lament on how previous endeavours to communicate concluded.all i can do is see how the ploy unfolds itself.i am unexperienced in the lexicon of persuasion.but a calming sensation soothes me because i know i can make choices to make the wind flow where i want the ship to be.i should not be outdone.as such is my sanguine expectation....

she is loved.

Friday, October 3, 2008 ; open house

yay.today was open house! OPEN AHHHH! woo supposedly the most fun day after promos.everybody was hyped up by the celebratory atmosphere and Ms.Lai tried her best to rah-rah the J1's to put their best foot forward for today's events.surely we were set to amaze the visiting Sec 4's from various secondary schools.

after morning assembly,i had absolutely no idea what i was supposed to do.clueless on where my booth was.i wandered into the previous preparatory classroom of C1-3.after a few minutes and some information from my chairperson.i headed to the atrium to start the foundations of our beloved and very pretty collaboration between 08S104 and 08S106 of ''Personalized Test Tubes'' booth.

there was definitely much skepticism on the workablility of this venture as we were ill prepared for the day.previously,we didn't have our test tubes ready.they would only arrive on openhouse day.and we only spent hours idling around in the classroom doing nothing and playing some cards.but now the pieces were starting to be picked up.flyers were printed and ready,our big placard was pasted on the pillar behind us,glitter and little colourful metallic hearts fought for space the table,along with 50 standard test tubes and finally,millions and millions of lettered pasta pieces (:

my first task was to sort out the letters and put them into their respective places,which was so totally boring.Imagine counting little pasta pieces! however with teamwork we managed a decent effort with about 500 letters ready for sale! yay.if one were to be observant and head to the bench area behind LT1,one would find many many many many pieces of things on the floor,which was the result of us being bored and throwing those things at each other.haha what fun.

when i got back to the booth,proud test tubes were displaying themselves to potential buyers,with red,green and blue gel determining their colours.i decided to make one for myself.so with no experience,i consulted Tania from 106 for her expertise in the field.soon i had made a wonderful test tube for myself with 2 stars and a nice ribbon tied on the top.looks good enough to sell for $3! okay surely no one wants to buy one with my name.

of course i promise you will not miss out on awesome dancing action.the interhouse mass dance competition was one of the highlights of the day.all the houses went out with their guns blazing and made it a tough battle for the best.I'd have to admit.all the house comms made a tremendous effort trying to choreograph dance moves and teaching us who have two left feet to dance.i went out with nothing to lose and gave it all for my house (: but in the end.i still thought miranda's sequence was the most professional.the guys looked like Usher heh.

other events included Wushu,Guitar Ensemble,Dance,Chinese Orchestra,Soccer,ODAC and of course band.each put up their unique performances for the future meridians.ahh.i was so nervous for band that i almost did not play the later part of American Graffitti part 16 for timpani.cant help it.i could feel my heart almost jumping out as i finished the introduction for AG.and looking at the conductor i would uncontrollably tremble if i looked at him too long.ahh.tense is an understatement to describe how i felt.how unnerving it must be for the audience to see me in such a state.the above story was true too for the Grease song.

but all in all,after the 2nd performance,i heaved a sigh of relief.knowing that all is over.2nd round of mass dance competition ensued and it was an even more exciting experience for everyone as Atlas released confetti from the linkway with a bang (literally) and the floor was illuminated with colourful strips.i headed back to the booth and started on orders from other people.the 08104 and 08S106 booth was a great success! we managed to sell ALL the test tubes.let's pop some champagne.

after a brief fiasco concerning the lock up of the bags which i was left rather irritated,i finally got to go home.what a long day.the great cows nicholas,hui teng and david accompanied me as we all went home after the sun had set.we had some helium fun while walking to the MRT station.it was so funny.don't think i laughed that hard in a while.said bye and said bye again to jia yun's clique from band.and yay.here i am.comfy and happy.

OP im gonna kill you!

Thursday, October 2, 2008 ; aftermath

weee promo's are over.due to my excessively inconsistent blog schedule and somewhat haphazard content.some staunch fans(Weng Siong) have requested for a long overdue,proper and deserved post.here goes.

The state of exams is a quirky one.some flip to the first page and see joy.while others bask in the demise of their unknowledgeable knowledge in the said subject.While it can be said that in my opinion promo's were easier than the mid-years,there was surely one incident which sparked many voices of protest and clamour.the chemistry paper.

All in all,it was an insurmountable task,one who was previously thought capable of completing the required tasks could easily be faltered by the wails of others.the echoes of the chemistry paper ''killing'' us still reverberate in the halls.okay what fantastic exaggeration.

I thought the math,gp,chinese and econs were a breeze.with physics taking the backseat as a more challenging subject.however one must not fail to consider the volatility of the economics marking rubrics.they are as unpredictable as any accomplished clairvoyant would tell you.

well,since whats over is over.there lies no future in discussing the past.except when you're a history student but thats besides the point.what am i talking about?

righty.get ready for some ANNOUNCEMENTS (one only actually)

3 October 2008 - MJC Open House which is tomorrow my gosh.so.there have been some misdemeanours on the attendance of the house mass dance sessions.my class has been listed as one of those which none participated in the first practice session on tuesday.what embarrassment.but we picked up our act and did pretty well for today's session.with the all weird cheers and dance.i might say we looked like dinosaurs in the last part of the dance (:

of course since im in band i have to fulfill my obligations as a member and attend some practices during the week.for what you may ask.the reason is clear.To amaze,tantalize,awe and among many other things,entice the prospective secondary four visitors to join our amazingly talented MJC Symphonic Band which boasts a few members from the Philharmonic Youth,members with at least 4 years of experience in band since secondary school and of course those little greenhorn newbies like me who have no idea what band is about and join percussion.

here's an example of a band geek paragraph.
Band is the lifeblood which supports me,curbs my needs and is all im living for.without band,it is like life without life.how's that even imaginable is up to your imagination.every time i step into the band room.a wave of happiness embraces me and i feel all ready for a five hour practice.whatever instrument i play.i play it perfectly.every note is clearly articulated,every hit is precise to the nanosecond.band has brought this ethereal and impeccable attitude out of me and whatever i do.band is always in sight.

my that sounded kinda weird.but alright.that was supposed to ''test'' whether i was band geeky enough.

well.i hope all goes well for tomorrow's open house and everyone can enjoy themselves thoroughly for the annual open house.especially to my CG S104 which has yet to tidy up the CG booth and merchandise sales.and lastly.come watch the band perform at the linkway at 2 and 4 pm(though no one would see this post at this hour) and be ready for a sparkling show put on by the best peeps in MJ (:

Cheerio.
