hi!
wah. my blog is dead. ): but nvm. havent posted for so long cos of fso and icyl yup. anws.
fso:
fso was fun! and the scholars were very nice. haha. we taught them many many songs (and i learn a few. like dumdumdeedee) and basically had a lot of fun lah. the first day was quite slack cos they all had talks so we sat around and slept or went to the library. the second day was like treasure hunt so it was more running about kinda thing. yup.
icyl:
icyl was MIND-BLOWING! good job icyl ot! haha. but it was really intense like the only free slack time we had was lunch (btw, the food ROCKS! unlike canteen food. its reallyrealluyreallyu good and there was a lot of it! haha. it was so worth it. good job joce!) for the first day we basically ran around and played games then the second day was like talks and the third was like.... field trips and informal journalism (which is basically going around at far east and asking questions) and the fourth was... the debate! so fun. (i was in the video. you know the one about we would like to remnd doc tan and doc lee.... lol.) yup. icyls really exciting and you get to meet many new friends but the only prob was that its from 7 to 7 which is EXHAUSTING. (but then again i also understand that the ot was also very tired. so of them camped over at the sac) but yeah. ohoh and my very nice group mates! dimira tjc, xiao hui mgs, filzah cedar girls, flora and ying xuan rgs, emma australia and huyen vietnam! thank you guys so much for all the great times we had! and not forgetting wenyi and lydia my lovely lovely facils. haha. love you guys so much!

hi!
several interesting things happened on my ride to my piano teachers house today.
interesting thing no 1:
a guy got arrested on my bus. seriously. ok, maybe not arrested, but he was removed from it after some sbs guy interviewed him for 5 minutes at the back of the bus. not something you see everyday. haha
interesting thing no 2:
i realised there were bugs living in my phone. theyre really small. and white. really gross too, but interesting in a strange twisted kinda way. haha. i dumped them on the ground. hopefully they like their new home.
interesting thing no 3:
i discovered truely how great my piano teacher is. i mean, i knew he was good, since hes a dr in piano. but i didnt know he was THAT good. apparently, when he was 18, he had a concert which he played beethovens sonata in a-flat major by memory. and he can still remember it now!. and he also played for national tv and radio. and he got the highest in singapore and burneo for his dip i think. got himself a nice cert and a scholarship to abrsm in england. so cool.
interesting thing no 4:
i found out, that if i walk all the way to balmoral plaza from school, i can take 66 direct! and 171 and 170. which makes life a lot easier. but it is a REALLY long walk. probably wouldnt matter if i was liting. in fact, i think shell walk for miles if she could save 80 cents from her bus fare. haha. just kidding. but for those who takes buses with her, you might have seen how she runs for buses. im not like that. i mean, if the bus passes me by, i let it, even though i know that if i ran ill probably catch it. and id rather take 3 buses than 2 if it means i can cut down on the time taken for travelling.
interesting thing no 5:
this is quite amusing actually. you know the traffic light at serene center? yeah. my bus stopped at that red light. and at serene center, there were these two girls-that-looked-a-lot-liked-guys basketballers hanging around. and there was this whole row of sc girls in my bus. like about 10 of them? they saw them and started talking really excitedly, commenting how jap they looked and whether they were girls or guys. its actually very funny, cos they were all quite tall, so they had to bend down to stare at the pair. and then the two people turned around and then they saw that they were actually from st margs. haha. too bad.

many people know that im really enthu about om. but i dont think many know exactly how much and why.
there are many people who dream of becoming famous. i guess im one of them. thats reason number one. om gives me the opportunity to present my/our product to someone else, for them to critique to enjoy. its... i dont know. its a kind of joy i guess. to share what you have and what you feel with others. yes, granted its no hollywood, but to me its the same thing, a stage for us to perform and present and share just that bit of ourselves with a room full of other people. i think ive always dreamt of doing that, even though realistically, i know its not possible. and that realistically being a doctor would be my best bet. not that its my second choice. its just a difference between what you know you can do and want to do over what you wish you could do. and thats why its so painful to know im making the right choice to do smp, but at the same time, am very very clear that ill regret not taking om for the rest of my life.
the second reason is that it gives me a sense of accomplishment and a sense of pride. a kind of feeling that simply overwhelms. totally overwhelms your being. this kind of feeling is so hard to describe, even though when it hits you you can actually feel the thinkness. its a kind of feeling that can make you tear, becuase you know how much the audience have enjoyed your play, have accpeted your play and in turn, accepted you. its a specail kind of feeling.
thirdly, om has given me a chance to meet many other people, all who are equally passionate about om as i am. why do birds of a feather flock together? because it gives them a sense of... community. like if i sit here and i think about how all around the world, people are living breathing sleeping om like i was, it feels really comforting. maybe its the whole human is a social animal thingy. or the whole human spirit thingy. i dunno. but i know it feels mighty good.
fourthly, om is actually the one thing that im actually good at. i mean, all my life ive never exactly been good enough in anything to take part in any competitions. but i was chosen for om. and studying doesnt count, because everyones good at studying. which brings me to my fifth point.
i know this sounds a bit ego, but to me, om makes us special. nowadays, when we all try so hard to fit in or stand out, because everyone else is so good, om is smething unique. even though it might not be a really being diamond, but to me, even that small shining star makes a difference. im not saying that the rest who take rs or smp or cmp or whatever arent special. i just... igues om is so special to me, it makes me proud to be an omer. it just means too much to me.
the sixth reason is really depending. many people know that om world finals is in usa, provided if you come in first in the nationals. i dunno. usa has always been special. its not just the whole oh we get to go overaseas thingy, even though thats really cool too. i mean, i wouldnt be half as excited if the world finals was in wales. or switzerland. or new zealand. or france, germany, england , italy. and all the other various cool places. i dunno. usa to me is a bit like the black pearl is to jack sparrow i guess. its a lot more different.
yup. so thats why jo ou hearts om (:

this entry is dedicated to 211'06 and OM Jungle Bloke Div II 06.
211! i <3 you guys soo very very much! you've made my year so much more special and fun and fabulous and incredible and wonderful and and and... well you get it. ill never forget any of you and i hope you guys wouldnt forget me either (: this years been so much fun and ive had so many beautiful memories of you all, from rgs book day (which we only did the day before but still came in top 3), to decorating the classroom (now how did we win that?), to racial harmony day, teachers day, youth day and many many many other events we've spent together. i rmb the time we played that prank on yuannie ( i coined it and therefore my speeling is correct! HA.) and shimin for cle, to when we had to rush out our acp project to our dance exam, cooking class and art. i rmb siitng next to liting, kei, mabel and qiying and working with so many more people throughout the year on everything ranging from grp work to comp studs to pts. i rmb going out with eden and mabel for lunch every wed and taking neos with liting yuannie and jingles. and eating at crystal jade with abby, may and qiying. i rmb hugging and spinning in circles with mar bea and ruoting and laughing with everyone when we watched hossan leong sing on youtube druing hist. i rmb getting frustrated at the comp with hannah and paulines miracle tech fingers. i rmb eden adn yuannie being the only people who sweep the floor. i rmb emily squealing about guys and grouping up with shimin gloria and bella to chat about the newest show or manicures or makeup. i rmb taking napfa and always feeling so loser when joey leads us by one qhole round and being the last to finish with jingles. i rmb swimming for our class during swim carn. hazel was so fast. and i rmb bea and jingles and dee shaking in front of me during class. i rmb how joey was caught making strange dolphin sounds by ms ng and jingles being scolded by her for taking to long to walk to the toilet. i rmb having to switch on and off the lights and throwing away garbage passed to me from the other side of the room. i rmb being emo with kei and singing spastic songs with rachie. i rmb being shimins sci partner and doing weird experiments like rolling balls down ramps. ill never forget maggies cute blurness and wencens drama-mamaness. and i never forget how we broadcasted the degrees of haze before our eoy and how mar and i always finished first and made strange noises or wrote letters. ill never foreget mabels spastic lamejokes. nor edens. nor jingles. and ill always rmb how we excitedly discussed the results of the match the day before during world cup season. ill never ever forget anyone of you nor the beautlfiul memories you all have gave me. i love you guys soo soo much!
the extremely cool gang! you guys are just so special. you've never failed to make life seem so much brighter and ive always look forward to our meetings. i love you guys so mush! ill never forget how we would complain about going for om every sat at 8 and how avril will always be first and how we would need to get up at 630 to get to school on time at 730 but hoho only needed to get up at 715. ill never forget how shimin was late once cos her father had a car accident along geylang. i rmb how we would get more and more distracted as it gets closer to noon and would talk about chicken rice and hotcakes even when its only 10. i rmb shimin using someone else phone to order food and how shell write down our orders on rough paper and how shell ask the price and caculate the rpice for everyone before the food gets here, and how well blow trumpets when she walks in with the food. ill never forget how we used to run towards the green light only for it to change to red when we get there. all these little things are things that make us us and ill live them all over again if i could. even though we were all tired from rushing om before the cnationals and worlds finals, ive never thought thatit wasnt worht it. i rmb staying back everyday with avril to do micheal lee or working with everyone else to do the tree or the signpost or the costumes. ill never forget going to all your houses for om, painting the backdrop or making costumes. ill never forget annies whining or shimins voice or johos spaticness or avrils even more spasticness or claires sweetnees or violet initiative. you guys are all so special to me and ill treasure our meories together forever, everything from our weekly meeting to nationals and worlds. ill never forget our trip to usa, how tired we all were but how we still helped to carry the props, how our boxes were all marked by suns, how we were kanchiong spiders and koped all the common rooms before anyone else could use them, how we screamed in the cold shower on the first day there, how we didnt have much time to shower at all, how we received a standing ovation after our performance and how proud we were when dr sam came to take pictures with us and how we rushed to and fro places to watch others perform. ill never forget how we had so much fun in the mall of america and how we shopped in 15 mins. i love you guys so much and i hope that all of you, no matter what you do next year, will succeed in your areas of rs.
for all of you who are so precious to me, ill always be there for you, so dont hesistate to look for me (:
