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
