Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

My Chinese new year ended!! :D It was well, a pretty peaceful and successful one!! :D

On 20Jan, school's Chinese new year celebrations! But we call it AC celebrations, no idea why.. But, there was still lessons like wth, but cause I'm performing for CO, I had blue slip to leave early! :D That feeling's awesome~~ To be able to leave in the middle of the lesson, hahaha! :P Performance was quite successful barh, I had lesser stage fright now and saw my chem and econs teacher smiling at me on stage,haha:) Played Kpop medley and 贺新年!Heard that the feedback for both songs were rather good and I was so relieved after the perf ended because all the hard work for the past two weeks and the scoldings paid off! :D

And then there was Luo Hei ahhh~~ So funnnnnn~~ :D Then went out with waiteng, chai luan, zhi hao, xuankai and keith~ :) It was so funny seeing how xuankai made keith blushed like crazy, teasing him about his past crush, haha! Wanted to go scape's arcade and when we reached there, it was closed.. T.T then went to douby gaut? or was it outram park, can't rmb... T.T The arcade there's not bad also laa~~ Reached home at 9plus, haha! :)

21 Jan, Watched two episodes of running man in the morning! That was like the best sat I ever had since nov? Cause Saturdays are ALWAYS ruin by co practices.. :( laughed soooo much... :) Finished tuition hw in the afternoon, yea, i Know I'm crazy, and then the 1st reunion dinner at grandma's house... Had reunion dinner early cause one of my uncles was going overseas on the next day, so sad... haha... Kinda boring laa, stoned quite a lot there... But went to shop at west coast plaza with mum so not that bad! :)

22 Jan, woke up later than usual and spent quite some time surfing the net in the morning, haha! Then Bro came back in the afternoon... from camp.. Did some school homework while walking up and down the living room to catch a bit of tv before going out for another round of reunion dinner again! My cousin whose of the same age as my bro has huge muscles! haha, he trained too much liao laa, looked kinda scary... Sold my fun o rama coupons to my aunts but felt kinda bad cause I feel as though I'm cheating their money, hehe:)

23Jan, the first day of Lunar new year! :D Wore my pretty new BRIGHT RED dress with a black jacket, no photos though, too bad, HAHA, I think you wont wanna see it as well laa... :) Went to st Joesph church with family and the hall after renovation was sooo nice, and quite hi tech as well! With tv screens to show the readings without the need for us to fumble through the books to find out where they are, haha:) I like~~ :) Then, went to my mum's family for lunch!Buffet! Haha, it was so fun gambling with my relatives, especially my youngest uncle! :) I won 6dollars okayy!! :) With my great acting skills! :) Poker face:) Then, went to my dad's family side for dinner! had steamboat! But not really nice.. :( Reached home at 9pm plus, shagged but satisfied! :)

24Jan, which is today! Today's kinda the best day I had for the entire chinese new year celebration! :D Went to JP with dad, mum and bro for lunch and movieeeee~~ :) The Chicken Prosperity Burger is DAEBAK!!! :D And the curly fries are awesomeee~~ :DD Felt super duper satisfied! Then we watched The Viral Factor starring jay chou and Nicholas Tse! A very very good show with lots of gunshots and touching moments... Felt quite irritated when someone laughed when jay chou's dad in the movie died... haha... A good show, very action packed, and when you kind of let your guard down at some touching scenes, sudden gunshots will appear and the action starts all over again! :P Do watch it you are free! :) And the show is quite suited to be broad casted in Singapore as well, multilingual to the max, haha! :)

And mummy bought two slices of chocolate cake from Awfully Chocolate! Super nice! :D But its super ex, as well... haha!

Went home at 5plus! Yep, so its the end of my Chinese New Year! :D

Have a great dragon year my friends! :D

Pretty amused by Amos Yee's book review video... haha:) Just happened to know about this little boy from Jack neo's new film... Love how the way he describes the book and makes me wanna read it as well! :D

First week of school had been crazy, was soooo busy, for the wrong things... Reached home at 7.30pm to 8pm for the first 3days of school due to co.. And got maligned for the mistakes I freaking didn't make at all during open house.. :(

But I'm realllllyyy happy that my form and gp teacher changed!!! hahahaha:) The new teacher looks really nice and the way she teaches is super interactive that didn't fall asleep at all for the 100mins gp lesson! happy happy! :) But she looks way too much like mdm francis so shall keep a safe distance from her... I'm quite motivated to do well for gp now! :)

And I guess I'm really sick of co now... Ystd explained the reason why I did not bother to send those emails to encourage bpco juniors to come to acco.. Its so freaking stressful in acco, because of the sco instructors whose expectations are so high you can't help but feel pressurised to do well..your grades will suffer damn badly... Like how I was for me last year.. dont come acco, like really, everyone will just you the good stuffs of acco, but conveniently leaves out the hardship in it.. The standard in bpco is so different from acco, dont destroy your two years jc life just like that.. I've suffered, and I dont want anymore of my juniors to suffer as well..

However, I will still remain in it, because of the wonderful pals as well as the commitment...

I feel like I'm ranting to myself, no one bothers to visit anymore right? haha.. CNY's coming = hongbaos = MONEYYYYYY!!! :DDD I'm so poor now... T.T

Jiayou! :)

Dad got really happy when he knows how to write chinese characters in his phone, and he got angry when I said, 'Oh, good lor..' THEN WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?! Jump in joy and hug you and scream, 'OMG, DAD YOU DID IT! WOWWWW!!! ' -.-

Tmr's release of Olevel results, one year had passed... Haha, kinda nostalgic... :)Read through my posts on 10jan2011 and how I made my choice to enter ac is kinda funny... haha:) But that was really the best day of my life, even with that ugly C5 english...

Now, I'm worried for my co juniors.. lol, although we aren't really close yet, and they have already DSA into AC so they only need 20 to get in AC officially, but, yea, still feel abit worried.. haha.. :)

And wth, school's starting tmr... that means waking up at 5.30am every single day.. T.T And I woke up at 9am today, how in the world I'm I suppose to crawl out of bed tmr?! Stresssss~~ :P

However, I'm looking forward to many many things as well! like the changing of GP and/or form teacher!!! fingers crossed! :)

My parents' making a big fuss about my sec1 cousin getting the merit award.. -.-

All the best for the new school term! Impt year ahead! As all adults say.. :P

I dont know if it is a bad omen to post an emotional post at the start of the new year, but I think I'll burst if I dont voice it out, and I can't tell mum either, she'll be like, "想这样多做什么?! 去读书啦!“ so yea..

I know I shouldn't think so much into it, like being in co for 5years, I should have gotten used to criticisms and let them go. If you are having this thought of, "CO again?!" then, dont bother to read the rest.

But just today, really, everything, every bad perf, every bad note I played, every criticisim I got, every scolding I recieved just sink nicely into my brain. And being a SL, i've gotten more. SO much more. And it sucks, really. I know all of these shit stuffs I get are to improve myself, but its hard not feel upset by them, especially a very experienced and good player treats it as a joke and laugh at you. I can endure and forget about everything if its just once, or twice. But every single practice is really too much, no matter how close or how unaffected I show. And as a joke? I know my mistakes and bad habits are really bad, but is 'disgusting'the right word to discribe them? I have tried my really best to kick the habit off when playing, but shouldnt you give me just a bit of respect that a human should recieve?

Maybe I'm just not suited to be in CO. I really wanted to just learn more in ACCO, and enjoy the best and friendliest atmosphere I can every find in ACJC, but maybe I'm too big headed of my ability. And I was too thick-skinned for my own good.

After today, I have made a firm decision never to join a CO ever again, I dont wanna be a burden to any excellent chinese orchestra.

But, I will do my best, and help ACCO tanbo in any way I can until after enCOre.

And thank you, Shen lao shi, for encouraging me today, seeing my discouraged face, that tanbo have improved.

And I dont hate you, i'm not even angry with you, I'm angry with how think skinned I am and how useless I have proved myself to be the SL of ACCO tanbo. Thank you for all that you have done to help me improve.

I will continue to put on a bubbly cheerful front and enjoy ACCO in every way I can for the coming 6months, but yea, I wont forget this feeling I have, this suckish feeling I have today.

I really love ACCO, alot, I'm just very upset with myself.

Wednesday, December 28, 2011 8:45 PM

YO~~~ Got really bored of revision so shall do some recap of 2011! And also because so much new stuffs have happened throughout the year, so its kinda worth it yea? :)



Firstly, I became part of the ACS family upon being accepted into ACJC... It was still okay for me to get used to the culture in AC since I'm a catholic, but I know some of my friends find it hard and uncomfortable with chapel and devotions.. I thought devotions were kinda cool at the start of the year and I really do reflect upon what was said but as time passes, haha, got sick and tired of them.. :P

Next...


Yea, you know it, whats JC without orientation.. I remember mum was sooo worried for orientation due to lots of crazy stories of how seniors torture their juniors, but nah, the three days of orientation were the best times of my life in ACJC.. However, now, I no longer have that much of love(?) for Briar, cuz everyone starts to drift apart to their own classes and clicks that even saying hello in school are kinda awkward.. Like you feel you need to start a conversation but dont know where to begin.. Haha, its inevitable for such feelings to appear after one whole year right? :)



When I start to lose contact with Briar, ACCO enriched my school life in AC... Although practices kinda suck at the beginning since I got scammed to get in early for syf, met up with really awesome companions.. :)As more people start to enter CO, I started to make more friends and not just pretend that I'm praticising hard while in fact, I was hoping that someone can talk to me... :) Really thankful for my great OG mate as well, thought he entered AC very late, if not for him, I would have been a completely lost sheep in ACCO and even maybe become an introvert...haha:)



Eh, for your info, this order is correct, I really started my co practices even before I knew what class in, thats how early I entered CO.. T.T I knew I should have kept my mouth shut when they asked I was an experienced player... hehe:P So yup, chose PCME Econs H1 and was placed in 1SB2.. I hated the class, to be frank. Because it was so hard to start a conversation or to mingle, and there were those kind of personalities that I really hated..

But I'm very thankful to have a soulmate in class, someone who I can really talk to comfortably, pour out my unhappiness, and even cry in front of her without feeling embarrassed or whatsoever.. I thought she was kind of quiet but no, in fact, she helped me get together with the girls in class, and was so helpful in every way... A great artist as well! haha:) When I told her my christian name was Nina, there is 'Nina' in almost every page of my lecture notes, haha:) But, she gets upset really easily because I tend to be to frank and not too good with my words and we had cold wars quite a number of times.. But the cold wars just made us know each other better, so yea, was thankful for those unhappy times as well.. In fact, I got a feeling I have made her angry like recently, but, we'll see.. :)



Idk why I can't find any photos of my bro in his army uniform lehh..So shall just post this letter.. This was written and drawn when bro was in BMT as a surprise for him, and, haha, he said he cried after reading this, PRO barh! BUT, he freaking lost it, thankfully I took a photo before sending it to him.. He said cuz they pretended to burn one whole stack of their letters away but they were just empty letters, so they were kinda in a trauma when they got the real letters from their family, enjoy reading! :)

Yup, actually Bro's entering into the army was a rather big thing for my parents, and myself as well.. I was quite uncomfortable like the first two months after he left for NS because there wasn't anyone to joke, quarrel, snatch nice food and steal the com from.. haha, I'm weird.. But yea, got used to it eventually, so seeing him once a week is sufficient, in fact, kinda find it irritating when he gets back cuz I will need to surrender the big computer irregardless of what I was doing.. hehe:)



And then there was march CO camp! My very very very first overnight camp in school compound, for two days 1night? I think...Or was it three days? eh, can't remember...It was really fun barh, though there was some awkward moments like waking up early and can't think of anything to talk about so just stared at one another until something happens to get a conversation rolling.. haha:)



MA FIRST GOLD IN SYF!!! :DDD okay, I've only been to like two syf but yea, ITS A GOLD! hahahaha... :D And an awesomeeee experience as well! Because we got to watched the results and the video of the composer for the set piece.. and a great time with my tanbo mates! :) And come to think of it, it was a bit amusing when my senior dropped her shoe on stage, okay, im so bad, hehe:) But, i still like BPCO liuqin senior the most! :)



Then there was enCOre! The biggest co perf I have been in for my 5years of co experience, hehe:) In a concert hall and the ticket was so freaking ex of 15dollars.. To me, i think its a bit not worth it for the audience because it was not that good to be worth so much, but yea, a very good experience.. I loveeee the applause everytime we complete a song, I know its not just for me, but at least im part of it right? lol, Im starting not to make sense.. -.-



Not forgetting PW, the nightmare for all or most JC1 students in Singapore.. T.T This was ripped off from my group's ppt for OP, we took a group photo but its not with me... :( It was kinda horrible at the start but, okay, I have to admit my group is really the best among the other groups in the class because of my group leader:) She leads very well, have everything organised but its just that she gets a bit too much when assigning work to do and got quite angry a couple of times.. But yea, all was resolved on 11.11.2011! :) Come to think of it, I must count myself to be very fortunate to be able to work with the best few people in class, and him. :) I'll miss PW in the sense that its the only Alevel subject that we can work together as a team! :) Hope for a big fat A grade when it comes out in April 2012! :) Love AC090:)



And studies.. *shiver* my results were really very bad at the start, I even failed my terms and got into SSP.. Because if you know me, I memorise alot, like really alot, but its completely redundant in JC, memorise without understanding and thats what I got, a fail... :( And I think I was struggling way too hard to socialise in the first few months as well, so I didn't studying or make an effort to do more than what is required... Upon getting into SSP, it really woke me up that I'm in the danger zone, that I was not on the right track.. Seeing a bright red 'Failed' in the report card sucks alot, so, I tried to memorise lesser, practice way more and thankfully, got promoted... But I barely scrape through laa.. :) I rmb crying so much when the papers from promos were released that the whole class saw and random people came to expressed concern, some who I've never expected.. So, after that day, I have a better impression of my class and I will try to maintain a close relationship with them next year as well! :D

Yup, thats about it! Not alot right... I shall leave out some unhappy moments and forget about them! :) No point thinking about them and feel upset all over again right? So 2012, what can I expect?

1. FUN-O-RAMA! A big scale ACJC carnival!! oh yah! ANYONE WANTS COUPONS?! haha... its on 24march, contact me if you want yea! Drag your friends along! :)

2.Self organised CO march camp! :) much whopping fun! :)

3.2SB2 and get to have assembly in the lecture hall! The best place to fall asleep for chapel! haha:)

4.Crazy covering of the rest of the 70% of Alevels syallabus. :(

5.Last but not least, ALEVELS... T.T

I most probably wont have any more posts for this year, so HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE!!!! Thanks for reading and hope you will have a great year ahead!!! :D MUACKS! :D

p.s This took me two whole hours, but its worth it to me! :)

Just looked through all those orientation photos and the blog posts I wrote after each day of orientation, and felt, nostalgic...

In a blink of an eye, a year have passed by, I've grown so much, mentally and physically... I've grown mentally stronger and emotional, cause too much things had happened, some were well resolved, while others, just let time to heal them all... How I wish I can go back to those days, to meet new friends, to live life in the way that I'll contanstly anticipate for the next day to come.

Somehow, I have this crazy jealousy for those who have to repeat a year. Like what Mdm Annie yong said, they have a full year to sort out well, we only have 2months, and the immense pressure returns...

But I know I will not want to repeat, because I would have leave this school for good, to forgo all the friendships made and the memories created, starting a new life in another school, in hope for a better ending. I would have pretended that 2011 never existed, as though i was all along in a very long dream, or coma, and continue with where I had left off after O levels.

I entered ACJC in full of hopes and dreams, but the journey till today was so tiring and hard. Up till today, I still do not know whether I have made the right choice. But there's not turning back now right? At this half way mark, the only choice is to finish this race on the path that I've chose on my own.

I will continue on firmly, but its quite nice to reminisce the good times and the happiness that I once felt.

And thanks babes, for the awesome day yesterday, its been a very long while since I've laughed so much while being with friends, being with the ones I loved dearly... :)

FIGHTING! Off to assignments again! :P

Wanted to write a post of how unsatisfying life is but decided not to...:)

Finally handed in our final Written Report, yayes:) Somehow, dont really feel that relieve whatsoever cause I didn't really get to see the 'birth' of it, so yea, FINALLY ITS DONE AND IT BOILS DOWN TO OP AND Q&A... :)

oh, something BIG occured! I'VE FOUND SIGNED UP FOR A iPLUS STUDENT PLAN WITH UNLIMITED SMS!!! WOOHOOOHOOO~~ uncontrolled messaging FTW! :p but the shitty thing is that i needa change my number and apparently some people choose to ignore my message to inform them and it becomes my fault that I didn't reply. >:( oh wells...

Dad and Mum just went away for a cruise, and to think I gave it up for PW but there isn't any meetings for the week, WTS. Now, im so stuck at home ALONE eating instant noodles... :( Haha, not so pathetic laa, just have to eat outside for all 3meals... :)Hope dad and mum will enjoy themselves and steal some nice food back! haha, just joking! :)

Looking forward to meeting casey tmr! hehe:) to YEW TEE, HAHAHA! :)

And, im so glad that you chose me, which means i will have many more chances to be with you. :)

Bye! :)
