this week has been uh rather eventful.
i've been aching to unload everything here for while.
somehow writing all the crap here makes me feel better,
then one day when i revisit these posts i can laugh at the stupid stuff that happened!

well april's surprise birthday party was a success.
i left church earlier immediately after youth fellowship so i could get the cake.
then i went to april's house and hid the cake in her fridge, haha i told her i bought dessert so she didn't know.
michelle came shortly after that and we chitchatted while lunching.
haha then when april went to the kitchen michelle and i started putting on all the party stuffs while squatting under the table and giggling nonstop!
then we popped the poppers at april and started singing happy birthday while laughing uncontrollably.
april said she heard lots of noise then when she turned around she saw two bandits with party hats on (which was us with the face mask and party hats of course)
seriously, this is really hilarious!
so we took loads of photos with the party hats and april demanded that we had to keep them on throughout the whole study session later on.
yeah but unfortunately all the photos are with michelle so another day!

this week is also chem spa week!
as usual when it comes to the real thing, its not smoothsailing at all!
let's just say i broke a measuring cylinder before the exam started, faked most of my results and finished everything just in time thankfully.
so if anyone is feeling really depressed about screwing up chem spa, you've got me for company :D

i was practising a lot for the impending doom of piano practical-the ultimate horror D:
actually i haven't been practising since i've been so busy.
so i had to resort to drastic measures like practising hours on end one week before.
and i unintentionally caused my neighbour great displeasure cause apparently my music to him is noise :\
so he being an impatient hot tempered burly gigantic angmoh stormed down from upstairs and started ringing the doorbell and banging on the door.
and when i say banging, i mean BANGING.
so my dad got kinda annoyed.
the angmoh was like swearing and cursing and going i don't care, like an overgrown kid throwing a tamtrum.
my dad being the mature adult of the two got fed up and went: don't you use the 4 letter word at me.
then he said: what can you do?
dad: i can't do anything, just look at your size!
cranky neighbour: BLAH BLAH !@#$%^&*
dad: you talk and behave like a kid!
so after he hurled his insults at my dad and they both exchanged threats of calling the police, he went back to where he came from and slammed the door so loudly i heard it from downstairs.
this drama is seriously free entertainment!
but now i feel like my security is endangered with that crank living upstairs, who knows what he'll do in his fits of anger.
his anger management problems is gonna give him a heart attack someday, he better take care.
well we thought he would have got over this by the next day but he proved to be more petty than i thought.
he was like bouncing a ball right on the spot above the piano just to get back at me?
no idea, as if i'll let his childish behaviour bother me.
oh well guess i've got a tyrant for a neighbour whatever HA.

anyway we were supposed to have a friendly against rjc polo on wednesday
but it was pouring and the lightning alert went off
it lasted till 5.30 so the match was cancelled.
lucky me :D
this week was great until piano practical killed my friday ):
even though i got to skip trg on thursday and school on friday because of it,
its not enough to compensate the unpleasantness this piano practical has permenently etched in my memory.
i thought this time round i'll have a better grip of my emotions since i didn't have panic attacks the day before piano pract.
but i guess i was wrong, i became a nervous wreak as the time of the exam drew closer.
i was disobeying every instinct that told me not to go into the examination room
and every second in there was a battle not to lose my sanity.
this pretty much sums up my extreme stage fright problem.
i don't get it, everyone seems to go through it so calmly.
its just me, freaking out to such extents.
i think i have a severe phobia of piano practicals that intensifies exponentially as i get older.
so i messed up, had a mental breakdown, forgot my scales, didn't register sight reading, made wild guesses for aural.
the ordeal lasted 40 minutes and i came out feeling:
happy (oddly enough)
relieved
sad
disappointed
defeated
discouraged
inferior
embarrassed
terrified
loser-ish
after spending my afternoon mulling and moping over a very certain failure, brooding over what i could have done better and trying not to replay the horrific experience in my head, i can gladly say i have put everything behind me and moved on.
but of course a phobia remains a phobia and and i promise i'll never ever ever subject myself to piano pract again. NEVER! that's a promise i can keep. :)

so anyway i'm in love with this song that goes:

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

what a lengthy post HA!

your history is mine

its been a really long week that just seemed to go on forever!
thank goodness its over (:
i had the most hilarious chem mock spa ever.
in my first attempt, i was busy cleaning up spillages and messes etc that when i check the water level in the burette in the first 30s, i couldn't find it.
turns out all the water in the burette vanished or rather it got displaced in appalling proportions!
then in the next attempt, the mixture that is supposedly brown with black ppt turned clear, what a phenomenon.
so i was rushing to do the experiment the third time and no bubbles appeared. so i shook the conical flask when all you're supposed to do is swirl 3 times. then all the bubbles came out at one shot. CRAP :\
well this week has been loads of fun too in spite of everything.
there was team dinner on thursday again and we were all entertained by sab's weird antics.
today i had og lunch-it's been a while.
tmr its lunch with VAL i'm so excited!
and sunday, its MAD meeting.
on a more solemn note,
another hamster died of old age.
i'll miss you Squeaky, even if i feel kinda relieved right now that there's one less cage to wash.
:S

it's too early to say goodnight

friendship week was great!
needless to say, today was the most enjoyable day of friendship week.
we were exchanging vday presents and i got to catch up with friends i haven't met up with in a while (:
even though its friday 13 today, it is possibly one of the best days of my life and certainly the best one this year.
maybe its because i'm ridiculously happy right now...
seriously, i want to thank God its friday.

you have stolen my heart <3

hmm anyway this whole week has been rather dramatic, just when i was wondering why life has become so mundane.
let's just say friendship week did its job by bringing friends closer and building stronger bonds.
Valentine's day is so much like Christmas come to think of it.
Joy was just telling me the origin of the story of valentine's day, apparently someone named Valentine died, pardon my bluntness
ironically, this gives us an excuse to celebrate love on 14 feb O_O
i'm also really thankful my juniors are pretty amiable and that everything in general have been improving for me.
today was a hectic mad rush to deliver presents to everyone that we forgot to eat during our breaks.
so i was surviving solely on chocolates that i got heh.

gosh i'm really touched by all the people who bothered to give me stuff, love you guys to bits.
sab is hilarious, she gave me boxers and just passed it to me in broad daylight.
after a while i thought it was wise to keep it concealed in the bag i was carrying.
then in class ronald went to open the bag to look for his present but saw the boxers and exclaimed that there was underwear inside HAHAHA
cracked me up majorly man

school is oppression
homework is daunting
obscurity is security
& ignorance is bliss

i'm just thinking about the work i've accumulated
and something in my mind snapped
i can't handle this much longer
thankfully i have dear old bloggie to unleash my daily complaints upon.

so far, the JC ones have just infiltrated my school and stolen my space on the bus
getting to school on time is gonna be tough
i barely made it in the nick of time today
GRR

btw the eye masks really worked YAY
k i'm probably sounding really bimbotic at this point HAHA
oh and the team jacket we got is really comfy too (:
anyway do people actively think about what they wanna be when they grow up?
or do they just drift along and do whatever hits them
well i'm definately not about to land myself in a job that i'll dread having
that'll be awful

and you promised me forevermore
