Haven't updated for many days. Not like there's much to say anyway. Life's boring. I hate exams.
West Side Story on Wednesday was great! OMG! It was SO GOOD!!! Our seats were surprisingly pretty good! After the show, Polly and I hung out around Esplanade for awhile. Fun! Great way to de-stress after my Logic Design paper. The paper was okay. Couldn't do some stuff but definitely better than math.
Next paper's on Wednesday. Last paper! 105, please be nice to me...
Shh, it's..here..

OMG. I totally died for math. Stupid math.
Using the desktop at home now. Big monitor, keyboard with super bouncy keys... Needs some getting used to, man.
Home sweet home~~ So nice being home. I was just watching American Idol! Heh. Looks like I'm falling in love with the TV again.
I'm missing lotsa people...
I miss:
`HALMM!
`and all the other combined choir people too!
`Spanish classmates! And Arantxa too of course. =)
`SNGS clique: Serene, Jasmine, Adeline
`03S41! esp LENGSIM!!!
`Celine Chee Weilin! You get back from Melbourne NOW!
Oh and I realised how much I miss my secondary school and JC days too. Life was so much more fun then. School wasn't just about studying. It was about FRIENDS! I love how we used to spend time doing all sorts of silly things together. How we'd wait anxiously for the last bell so we could go for lunch or something. How we'd rush down for morning assembly. Sometimes with bags and all coz we barely made it on time. How we'd eat chips behind the teachers' backs and somehow they'd always taste better when eaten in class... So many fond memories, so many fun times. Oh, and how could I ever forget all those times we got our butts frozen in the school library coz we wanted to use the computers! Eh, Leng Sim?
Now? Well, uni's just not the same. That sort of friendships somehow just don't develop here. Everyone's just interested in getting their As and a high GPA. You realise no one wants to be bothered with you anymore. It's like if you can help me get better grades, I'll talk to you; if not, buzz off! I used to look forward to going to school when I was in SNGS and SAJC. I always thought hols were too long. As for now, I WANT MY 3 MONTH BREAK ALREADY!!!
Well, having said that, I must say I've been blessed with a couple of great friends in NTU. Polly, Sarah, Jess and of course my dearest roomie, Xuwen! Love you loads!
Polly and I are gonna watch West Side Story next Wednesday. Can't wait!
Good luck for exams everyone! Hang in there! The long awaited 3 month holiday will come real soon!

Spanish just now was okay. Didn't know how to do some so I gave stupid answers. Haha.
Math tomorrow! I'm D.E.A.D. LTI, Fourier series... ARGH!!! *pulls hair out*
Easter Vigil on Saturday was AWESOME! Singing with combined choir was totally intoxicating! Oh man, wish I could do it every day... I'm like having choir withdrawal symptoms now. I miss having Sunday practices with them... *pouts* Hallalujah Chorus totally rocked. Can't wait to do it again next year. And the year after next! And EVERY YEAR!!! They sang it again for 11am mass on Sunday and I joined them. Fun! Oh my, I'm getting really hyper now. Not good! I must study! Argh... Boring, sickening math. 106! I hate you! You hear me?!
Grrr...
Happy Easter! =)

It's Good Friday!
Hmmm... Sang for Lenten Vigil from last night till this morning. It was pretty alright. I managed to stay up but was super tired after that. Overall, the vigil wasn't that great. I found previous years ones better. Divine Mercy. Haha. Adam and I knelt till we couldn't move our legs anymore. Singing was okay. We didn't have time to do parts for O Sacred Head Surrounded so we all did melody. It was SO HIGH! Okay, I know a high E isn't very high for most people, but for me it is! Haha. So the whole thing lasted till around 6am this morning then we went for breakfast at McDonalds. Since it's Good Friday, all of us ate either hotcakes or fillet-o-fish. Lucas was being really silly and ridiculous and he blamed it on Keira Knightly being hot! Hahaha... So next time I'll be silly and ridiculous and blame it on Jon Johnsson being hot. Good idea yea?
Went home to sleep...
Overslept!
Was super late for the 3pm service. Had Easter Vigil practice after service. Was pretty good. Stacie came and was pretty lost. It's okay! Remedial tomorrow! Desmond to the rescue! Haha. We'll be meeting early to warm-up too... GOOD!!! I can't live without warming up... I'll sound totally horrible.
Man, this totally doesn't sound like I'm in the middle of my exams...
Wednesday's paper wasn't too bad. Could have been better of course but I think I didn't okay. Didn't know some parts of The Coral Island and Tom Sawyer though. Haha. No surprise. I didn't even finish reading those books. Boring books. Ironically I wrote bout The Coral Island for one of my essays. Haha. Wrote bout Secret Heart for the other. I like that book!
Okay, time to hit the books. Laters!

Anyway, managed to spend the last 2 days at home. Pretty good! It's nice being home...
Lenten Vigil tomorrow, Easter Vigil on Saturday. Singing, singing and more singing! Awesome, eh? Haha. Whee!!! But I'll have to spend the rest of my time mugging... *groans* But it's okay. Hols are coming!!!
Okay, I'm off to do some last minute reading...

Okay. Short one before I leave for school. Gonna find some place to study a bit before heading to the lab. Lab test's tomorrow! Yup... So gotta get ready for it by at least finishing Lab 8! Heh. Yup, I've not completed it yet. I'm such a hopeless rubbish student!
Sarah invited me to join her at the gym. I need the workout badly, man. But... argh... Need to do Lab8... Next week, hopefully!!!
Stupid stupid exams... Can't wait for it to be all over. Here's what I wanna do after exams...
~watch movie after movie after movie! If there's anything nice of course...
~shopping!!!
~get a manicure.
~read all those books by Raymond E Feist that I've yet to read.
~maybe find a job?
~learn to cook! Yeah... I can't. How embarrassing...
Okay, gotta go now. Put on contacts, pack my bag and off I go.
Cheers!

I've got both good and bad news. Let's start with the bad, shall we?
I got a freaking F for my math quiz. Sucks man. Oh well. What to do... At least it isn't the exams. Now I'll have to slog my ass off to try get a decent grade for the exam. ARGH!
Okay, now for the good. Had my Spanish oral and listening comprehension exams today. It was good! Managed a perfect score for my listening even though I found the dialogue horribly fast. I was like, damn! Can't they slow down?! Haha. The oral went pretty well to. I thought Jess and I were pretty good! I was so afraid we'd screw up. Haha. I'll always remember the line "En Hotel BKL, lo que deseas es lo que obtienes." Usagi-chan! Thanks for your help! Haha.
Still ain't feeling too good. Boo. My nose is still blocked and my throat feels bad. I hope I don't lose my voice! I don't wanna! I NEED my voice! I can't stand being silent!
And some people just don't know how to be people.

Save me. I'm dying. Oral tomorrow. Assignment due tomorrow too. Lab test on Friday. Plus QP article. And all that studying I've gotta do! ARGH!!!
I think I'm falling sick. My nose is running like a tap and I've been coughing real bad. *moans and groans* But I don't feel that bad now, after that cup of coffee.
Met Jess just now to prepare for oral. Our script is done but we have yet to practise it. Don't even know if it'll last for 6 minutes. Going to lab later to work on my Lab8. Sucks man. Can life get any more boring...
I need to jog. I'm getting fat. Anyone wanna jog with me?
I managed to study a bit of math last night. It's just a bit but I guess it's better than nothing. I just hope I'd be able to clear the module... Must study more tonight. Go, Ashley, go!!!
I can't get that Madagascar song out of my head. I wonder why...

Just submitted the hall application for next year. Same room, same roomie. Yay! Another year together for Xuwen and I... XD
No lessons tomorrow. But I've got tons of work to do. Argh... I hate school so so much. Why do they have to kill us with so much stuff?
I don't miss home that much anymore... Prolly coz this is my last whole week staying in hall. From next week, it's be the dreaded exams... *jitters* I'm getting so addicted to caffeine. I'll be half dead the entire day if I don't get my dose of coffee. Speaking of which, I think I need one now... If not I'll fall asleep with my textbook open, computer on and lights on. Haha... Happens all the time actually.
Okay... Gotta hit the books again. Cheers! And please people, don't be so stressed...

And the weekends are over in a twinkling of an eye. Sigh. And still so many things to do! *big groan*
Weekends were great though. I spent 14 hours with HALMM on Saturday! We had to sing for a wedding at 10am. So met at 8.30 to warm up and practise a bit. I overslept! Argh... Why am I such a pig? Anyway, wedding was alright. We sang pretty well! We went to Gabriel's house after that. I fell asleep while watching Disney Channel. Haha. Oh and we played asshole daidee too... It was crazy! Good thing I never ended up as the asshole... Yay! Heh. So we headed back to church for mass practice. We were supposed to go back earlier to file stuff... But we didn't feel like it. Haha... Yup. So it was practice then mass. I cantored! It's was alright I suppose. Thank God I didn't screw up. I was kinda nervous! But by the time mass started I was pretty calm. After mass practice was pretty fun! We learnt All Glory Laud and Honour. All the choirs have to sing that for the Palm Sunday procession next week. It's pretty nice. At least the Alto parts are! Haha... But I have no idea how we're gonna sing while walking from the carpark to church. How will Marianne conduct? Bring a metronome? March according to the timing? Haha. Can imagine Starfish doing that.
Today was okay. I woke up slightly earlier so I managed to eat a chicken pie before Easter Vigil practice. For once I didn't have to go for practice on an empty stomach, which is actually quite sad. Haha. I remember carolling on an empty stomach! That totally sucked... Yeah so I went home after that. Taught Adam a bit of Physics, did Spanish assignment, then here I am, back in hall.
Hope I have a good week in school! And hope I get lotsa studying and work done!
