Woah. Yesterday was Friday the thirteenth and one would expect horrid luck. But no way, my day was contrary to that. =)

First, GOOD NEWS! MY WHOLE CLASS GOT A FOR PW! =) Thanks to Ms Tay for being such a great tutor and guiding us in this! Haha. Thank you Sut Yee for being such a wonderful and responsible working partner! Both of us make a great pair! haha at least there was someone to complain to during stressful periods. =p Also, thank you Leon's printer for the effort you put in to print the countless pages of written report on AA paper - and at 3.40am somemore! Really appreciate the sacrifice you made. Thank you Vincent for the encouragement during OP coz i was really nervous but somehow you calmed me down. haha... 3 of us and a printer... Well we all got weird and different personalities that can somehow complement each other, so I guess everything turned out fine! haha... remember THE TREAT ah!!! lol... =p Sut Yee and I deserve it right! =D

Hmmm NEXT. I went with my sister to watch the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at the Esplanade. Oh my... I was really taken in by the entire musical, with its impressive stage set-up especially. Never imagined the theatre props to be so elaborate =/ there were probably about 10-15 different types of curtains and backdrops hahah... then there was the chandelier which rose with such grandeur at the start of the musical, only to crash rather resoundingly just before the intermission. lol it looked broken but of course it wasn't la... they brought the chandelier up again during the intermission when everyone left their seats...lol. Oh there was also this particular structure that I thought was merely part of the stage design but it could actually move! So halfway during the musical, the structure came out of the wall and hovered above the audience - and standing in it was the phantom! So cool right! And he sang there! woah, the people on the first level must be really impressed... lol watch show suddenly need to watch the ceiling one... but also bad coz get neckache la ahaha. Oh there's this particular scene which I love the stage set-up! It's the one showing the phantom's mysterious lair. They created the water effect using smoke and lightings so well la! Then the phantom was actually rowing a boat with Christine in it... so silently that the boat really looked as if it was travelling on water... the serenity was WOAH... the mood and atmosphere just perfectly created...haha. The singing was also bravo! heh the High E or E flat by Christine was definitely beautiful. But I wanted the phantom to hold his high note longer leh... haha. He held it for so much longer in the movie which really touched me deep down...haha. But yeah anyway I was more or less completely mesmerised by the whole show la... I wanna watch it again seriously!!!!! AHHHH. haha. So for those who haven't watched, PLEASE GO WATCH! It's worth all the money you're gonna spend man! heh...

Hmmm ok but some bad things happened too leh... on the way to dinner with my mum and sis, this motorcycle suddenly skidded right beside my mum's car!!? My gosh it was really quite terrifying... We saw sparks flying as the motorcycle skidded along the road... Fortunately no car knocked him or anything... and the motorcyclist was wearing jeans and a jacket I think, so at least the cuts and injuries would be reduced... He didn't knock his head either... =/ Bleh, but my mum didn't stop the car coz she said it was too difficult to stop the car at the road shoulder since she was on the fastest lane and she would be too incapable to help too. Oh well, so all we could do was to hope the best for that motorcyclist.

Yeah then another thing was that in the end my mum couldn't join my sis and I for dinner. Because she dropped my brother off at the wrong badminton court for training! Supposed to be at Yio Chu Kang stadium then she dropped him off at Toa Payoh... coz it's Toa Payoh every week and I think the coach didn't make it explicit enough that there was a change in venue... And since my brother had no handphone, money or whatsoever, she drove all the way back to fetch my brother when we were already nearing the Esplanade area. lol... oh well but ya it's definitely safer than her initial idea of hiring a taxi for my brother...

haha oh well, enough of Friday 13th events... Anyway this period is really really stressful eh... Sigh with choir especially being so tough. And my studies are so so so sucky as usual. haha. disgusting. moreover I've barely gone for a complete church service this year due to choir practices! =/ Hmmm but it's okay la I guess. Seriously I feel quite inferior in my class but nvm... I always try to have the mindset that whenever we go through tough times, we'll only grow stronger out of it!

yeah... thanks to SUET who was so willing to stay back in school for 2 consecutive days till very late to talk... haha, I'm really thankful for this God-given friend whom I knew but barely spoke to for FOUR YEARS in NYchoir. LOL. Can you believe it... Suet despised me and thought I looked like the toot toot kind... ok ya I dun deny la... I really LOOKED toot okay! but LOOK only right! lol... ok la, but yes Suet aren't you honoured to come to know this TOOT better!!! LOL... ya really appreciate our friendship la... I never knew how easygoing you could be... nor how much you are willing to share your feelings =) heh, thanks for sharing so much coz I was really touched by how much you are willing to confide in me. haha. ya and I feel very comfortable telling you everything too. ahha. Thanks to other ppl too... like Tracy, Fungmin, Abigail and Jon who wrote/smsed me encouragements... =) so sweet la. And Leon for listening to my irritating rantings and for being my radio DJ. lol. And my class in general for just being an unfailing source of laughter and joy! =) It's people like these that keep you going! =) Coz when you have people like these around you, then all the stressful studies/results and CCA stuff appear secondary become less painful.

haha, you know today after choir I went back to church coz we wanted to affirm and encourage Tifen as a CG since she's transferring to the VJC CG... yeah then we talked, had dinner together... very short while only lor. like 2 hours at most. lol, and yet I felt so much refreshed already seeing all these people. And I must say it's probably because I feel extremely comfortable and loved when I am around these people! heh... I really really hope to be able to attend a complete service REAL SOON... heh. Dear choir people let's not stop walking in His ways and rely on Him even more during this period! And surely we'll walk to the end of this path, more fulfilled and stronger in faith as well! =) Jia you!

Hmmm... and DEAREST HWA CHONG CHOIR 2007. Let's not give up alright, there's no time to think about giving up or even doing badly. Inevitable. But let's try to shut those negative thoughts out. ALTOS! Even though Ms Lim says you're the weakest section... it really doesn't matter, but more imptly you have to improve. We'll help you guys along ok! Ya dun be too demoralised and inferior... It's been really tough on you guys la coz everytime we sing as a choir, Ms Lim always condemns your section... but I must say that I admire your section's spirit... you all always remain strong and keep trying one. Kai and Kim! Dun qi nei. I know it's super frustrating for both of you especially, being leaders...but yeah you must not break down coz everyone's looking to you. ya and I'm sure some of us from sop section can go help the altos if need be k... ya... we are one choir wad... there's no space for complacency lar. we either flop together or do well TOGETHER right... haha

Hmmm ok jia you all audition groups! =) Practise hard but dun neglect your health! And all the best to all those having competitions!
