Recess week's over and it's back to school today. Just had the busiest recess week ever.
[Monday]
Went to the lab with Tab, spent a few hours there. Yucks. Went home after that and went for a short jog. Nothing much. Rather boring day.
[Tuesday]
CSA Activity day. Met Sarah and Greg at CCK and went to join the rest at some condo. Played some games... Had lotsa fun... My new sponsee, Polly, joined us as well but she was super late as she overslept! Spent some time just lying by the swimming pool with my feet in the water and talking to Sarah. The feeling was just so AWESOME!!! Feels great to just lie there looking at the clouds and to just forget all my worries and frustrations. Went for RCIA at St Mary's after that. It was more of a bonding session for Polly and I. It was rather late when I got home and I still had to do stuff for QP. But I had a wonderful day. *grins*
[Wednesday]
First day of bump in. STRESS!!! The condenser mics in Victoria Theatre wasn't able to pick up anyone's voices so I had to redo my mic plan. I hated it. I love the stage. I love being in a theatre. But when I'm there, I'm supposed to feel joyful and uninhibited. Not fed-up and frustrated. Maybe I'm not cut out to be part of the crew. I don't know... I really don't.
[Thursday]
It was a little better. Actually, I don't remember much about Thursday.
[Friday]
First show day. It was pretty good. Polly and I weren't that busy so we went to VCH next door to explore. Felt kinda nostalgic stepping into that concert hall. Some girls from St Anthony's convent were rehearsing so we watched them for awhile. The show was pretty alright. Many cringe moments as usual. I've kinda gotten used to it already. Lucas, Desmond and Marianne came!!! I was so happy to see them! After such a trying period in VT, it was just so great to see my beloved HALMMsters... I love you guys so so much! Thanks for surporting me... And being there for me when no one else is... Okay, I should move on before i start to tear...
[Saturday]
Second show. I couldn't go for mass! *sob* But it's okay. I called Des while we were bumping out and he said they didn't have a practice after mass. So I guess I didn't miss that much. Anyway, it's finally over and my love-hate relationship with QP has come to an end. It was good I suppose. I did get to make a few good friends and I did learn to deal with people that are, well, different from those I usually interact with. I can't say I've grown, but I've definitely learnt some things. I guess it was a good experience. But one I wouldn't wanna experience again, that's for sure.
[Sunday]
Went for 11am mass. Thought I had to sit alone, then I saw Gabriel. Mass was fine. We had Easter practice after that. It was FUN!!! Out of Darkness, Hallelujah Chorus... So many nice songs!!! And I was glad I got to see Stacie and all... If not I'd miss them like hell! Sigh... Whatever would I do without HALMM... Heh. Went to Icekimo after that for my weekly dose of ice-cream. We didn't really hang around there for long coz Stacie had to go home. I made cheesecake later in the day. Haven't tried it yet though. I hope it's good!
[Today]
It's a wonder how I managed to wake up in time to go for the 8.30am lecture! Maybe after being so used to my comfortable bed at home, I can't really sleep well in hall anymore. Whatever. I went for my lectures, fell asleep during the second one then went to the lab to print and hand in my report. And now, here I am, rotting in the library, waiting to meet Sarah for lunch.
Shh, it's..here..

Yesterday was fun! Celine's back from Melbourne so she crashed NTU. I hung out with her, Dacia, Xinhui and Shurui. What fun we had! Just sitting around gossiping, talking bout guys and then crashing a marketing lecture... Finally we went to Jurong Point to roam around. The same old NTU. The same old Jurong Point. But somehow, everything was just so much more beautiful! I guess it doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing. It's the company that makes all the difference. That few hours spent together immediately brought me back to my good old St Nicks days... What wonderful memories! We look quite a few photos too... Will have to wait for Celine to send them to me.
Met Polly and Daowei for dinner later that day. I'm sick of Canteen2's food. Heh.
Lab test this morning was pretty bad. Didn't know how to do it... Sigh...
Shh, it's..here..

My baby's back!!! Finally, after 2 long weeks. Sigh... Life was hard without a laptop... Haha...
Recess week's next week. Yay! Well, I won't exactly be free though. Coz that's when the musical is. I can't wait! The sooner it comes, the sooner it'll be over. Then I'll have more time for myself and for HALMM. And for friends too of course. Oh no... I sound like I'm hating QP. I'm not, okay? It's just that it's turning to be such a chore... Especially when I can't go for choir practices or such due to my QP committments. It's during times like this when I'll start wondering, just what the hell did I get myself into? I'm seriously spreading myself too thin. Argh! But anyway, Lucas and Desmond are going to watch it. I'm so touched! They just agreed immediately without any consideration! (Okay, Lucas did complain about the price but he's still going anyway, so yeah...) It's awesome to know that people actually do care... This, my dear reader, is what I call friends.
O Level results were out on Friday. Mel did well! 14 points!!! Well done gal! I'm so so happy for you... Nicole too! I hope you're satisfied with your 15 points. It's really quite a good score...
Netbeans is taking ages to download. *wails*
Tomorrow's Valentine's Day. Haven't bought anything for anyone.
Shh, it's..here..

In the library again. Still haven't gotten my laptop back. Sucks. So anyway, I know this is kinda late but HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!! Thanks to everyone for their wishes... Celine, Cecilia, Minh, Dominic, Stacie, Ju, etc. Thanks to those who didn't get to wish me too... Knowing that you remember me is enough. Haha... Okay, that sounded totally retarded.
CNY was fun. It all started on the eve. Sang for CNY mass and received blessed oranges after that. Got to see Adele. She's so cute!!! Oh, and Clement too!!! Ah... I simply love little kids... Went to Nainai's house for reunion dinner after that. Good food! Nainai's cooking rocks! We played Blackjack after that... Won a bit of money.
First day of new year was spent in Nainai's house again. Some relatives came to visit. Those I hardly meet. I could barely recognise them. Nothing much, really. Watched King Kong and LWW while I was there. I think I ate quite a bit too... Heh.
Second day was for visiting. We only had three houses to go to but it still took quite a while. Didn't really talk to my relatives though. What's there to talk about? Just keep the angpaos coming! Haha... Kidding. I really ain't that greedy. Blackjack again that night... Lost a lot of money.
And that was the end of it. No more visiting and gambling. Yesterday was pretty normal. Had combined choir in the morning. Did a slow English song. It was nice to see Louisa, Stacie, Lucas, Marianne, etc again... Had prata after that. And when I went home I took a nice long nap. Went for a jog in the evening. My first in a long while. Was supposed to go to the driving range with Daddy. But I guess I slept so much till there wasn't much time left. Haha. So we didn't go...
That's the end of the holidays... I want more!!!
