in school now. just saw the mv for jay chou's new song
稻香. it's really nice and heart-warming. have part of the lyrics here :)
请你打开电视看看多少人为生命在努力勇敢的走下去我们是不是该知足珍惜一切 就算没有拥有还记得你说家是唯一的城堡随著稻香河流继续奔跑微微笑 小时候的梦我知道不要哭 让萤火虫带著你逃跑乡间的歌谣永远的依靠回家吧 回到最初的美好不要这麼容易就想放弃 就像我说的追不到的梦想 换个梦不就得了为自己的人生鲜艳上色先把爱涂上喜欢的颜色笑一个吧 功成名就不是目的让自己快乐快乐这才叫做意义

i swear, i live in a flat beside the liveliest HDB corridor in Singapore. everyday, around 5 to 7 plus, my neighbours-the little guys-will come out and play like there's no tomorrow. and make noise. though i;ve to admit that it sometimes can be teeny bit annoying when i'm trying to study, i i believe having noise is better than none at all. nowadays, with everyone living closed doors, buysing themselves with their own stuff, it's not easy to find such friendly and warm neighbours. and the little ones can sometimes be so sweet. when i play 'Feelin' Good' for them( and mind you, i havent play it for months, it sounds dreadfully horrible) just a few days ago, i could hear the six-year old Little Guy whispering to his little brother to clap for me after that. and they sure did:) not to forget their nice grandparents; i feel as if i have a third pair of ah gong and ah ma! i'm very very lucky:) and here is the Little Little Guy:
suddenly missed some people. havent seen them for a longgg time. shuping: in working mode right now, guess me and kath will just have to wait till hols before we can get a glimpse of her. and we wont be going zara:)
my mentee leejun! bet you miss the biscuits right? i'm sorry! i've learned that breaking promises to a kid is one of the worst thing things that people can do. hope i can take you out to some day. if you havent forget your mentor:)
i think all these are happening due to pre-alevel syndrome. missing those that i cant meet up with now.
did a cll question on 雪山飞狐 this week. i managed to crap out 2 pages plus and surprisingly managed to get some correct answers. does that mean there's finally some improvement in studying the subject? or that there's no need to memorise everything as long as what we say makes sense? if the answer's the latter, maybe you would have like studying better.
finally: all the best jia and wanling for your upcoming exams!

09:32 pm. and i'm still printing assignments for
tommorow's maths( should be doing them now). it's a saturday i should be grumbling but i'm not going to. not with mr low willing to sacrifice his weekends for the whole class. and i agree with shum. we are really very very lucky to have nice and good teachers like ms tay, mrs lam, mr peck(dumbly-dorre!) and mr low(shuffles:). sometimes i wonder why they want to put so much time and effort on us and what drives them to 'pia' so hard for us. not to mention that i'm very grateful that he allows me to skip half of the lesson for piano. many thanks:)
hmm managed to reduce the cll notes from 5o plus to 35 pages. not bad. and printing them double-sided, 2 pages per side too! shall pick up some paper-saving tips from shum:)
surprise that exams didnt make me brain dead. i feel body-damaged instead. crick in the neck, backache, hurting knee-cap, what next? these must be signs of Ah Ma Syndrome.
so jiayou guys. jiayou twenty-one:)

had thought that after prelims there would be plenty of time to prepare for a's. but after planning for revision last night... only 38 days left( because of cll)! and there are still some cll notes that i've not touch.at all. no worries i wont play guessing game for a levels like what we did for our cll exams so far. i'll make sure i like every poem before the exams, even though some are so annoyingly depressingly sad. no re-watching of
恶作剧之吻 as planned:( shall stick to watching tv. but let's do our best yeah?
got back two papers today. improved for chem paper 3 from jct by just passing. maths dropped a bit but hope paper 2 can save us all:) surprisingly though i didnt do very well this time round, it was the first time in a few years that i could be so happy while taking an exam. madness right? just suddenly feel more relaxed(but not slacked) and less stressed. and just do my best( not this time though but next time) not everyone can feel like that:)
these few weeks the spotlight have been on melamine-contaminated food and AIG. mieo sent me this whole chunk of food product brands that i believe all of us had consumed at least once. the chemicals should have been there for some time just that now the whole issue is being blown up due to the large impact it had in China. but of course it's best to eat less of them. i shall miss monmilk latte:( the AIG incident had captured my attention, for once, in monetary issues. seriously hope that AIA wouldnt be affected much and it shouldnt right, seeing that the US government is helping out?
finally managed to upload pics on lunch at ps. cpu bit lagging. i think pig will drool when she sees this
芒果冰that we had while she was not there:)
a pic that i took with mieo, pig!(christina) and em( who is currently selling hotdogs in Disneyland, Hawaii). after 1.5 years, we look different but there are some things that still feel the same:)

oh my 天. i've forgotten just how tedious setting up a blog can be. it took me at least three hours! oh well at least most of it is done. and for some reason i've no intention of setting up a tagboard yet. and thanks to shum for helping:)
and YAY prelims over! two days ago after the chem mcq the guys in the hall were cheering. a bit inconsiderate for those who needed longer time but i think they understand:) my bro thinks i'll do all right for the exams. he said his instinct told him so. but i've to say that having been his sis for 18 years, his instincts has not always been that accurate. i just hope i do not too good and not too bad. what i'm most glad about is that i managed to complete this major thing just as "
学警雄心"李sir's "人生最重要的就是要勇敢面对现实。如果能这样做， 那就已经算是毕业了。"
watched the repeat telecast of Paralympics' Opening Ceremony yesterday. somehow, it touched me more than the Olympics'. Yes it has less of the grandeur and majestic but more of the sincerity. no
假唱:). not to mention the wonderful Fantasie Impromptu played by this either blind or hearing-impaired pianist. reminds me of my fat overweight jazz piano piece Willie Wagglestick; i think i probably need to slim down my left hand or something. after what ms pun says about her student not doing very well for that piece in the exams, i feel that i'm making the piece heavy:( and i so do not look forward to aural next lesson with deaf ears like mine.
