in the holiday mood…

I find myself humming lean on me over and over again. and thinking of doing something fun and something that does not include TOK, EE, WL and IA. something like shopping. (:

yayyy holiday! (who am I kidding) this holiday season, its a mad rush to…

finish work. so as not to drown when the next wave comes in. sure, the list doesnt seem that long, but its the time it takes to actually finish them. Also, to prepare myself for the tests coming up in the next few weeks – knowing fully that I will definitely not have enough time later on to study.

yesterday was an um…interesting day. the horror of horrors – performing for the school’s chinese new year concert. Though I must admit those 2 year 1 classes had it worse off than us. poor things. the utter embarassment of standing there clapping along to this horrendous karaoke arrangement of the most famous chinese new year song, with the screen showing some weird karaoke video. thank goodness many did not notice the choir standing behind the year 1s, they thought we exited already. I quote Ian Long: where were you guys? hahahaha. and thankfully we got to wear our school uniforms instead.

On a happier note we were dismissed right then and there, so it was off to Alyssha’s house to hang around for a while. The joys of multi-tasking: polishing off 3 bags of chips, a bottle of soda, whilst watching a movie and playing bridge -  all under 2 hours. Now that’s the life. And,  ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’ is really funny…especially when you’re watching it with guys. to be continued at Jeanette’s on friday! (: we love Jeanette!

Eryn’s mom kindly dropped me off at bishan, and thereafter I headed to orchard for a while. A little shopping doesn’t hurt…haha. Heading back to bishan I bumped into Albert – hope he gets posted back here! we need more people in choir! Dinner with Marilyn afterwards, Huijie couldn’t join us. (who told you to join chinese drama hmmm?) had a great time talking to her…can’t believe a whole year has already passed! I am totally amazed at how she can survive in cj…hat’s off to her! top econs next time, k? ;p

now to make the most out of this week. I wonder what will happen next week? sneaky Jacqueline has something up her sleeve…

why?

too much going on too soon. my head hurts, my throat hurts. this is not good.

information overload during bio. another english presentation to do. surprisingly, had an interesting chem lessons – wonderful videos that might just save my life. a very confusing tok presentation. (christine, ours will rock! once i get around completely the powerpoint slides and script, that is lol) one more english presentation.

presentations force you talk – or at least say something. so I dont like to talk much during english. partly cause my brain refuses to function – I dont like to think you see – and I am quite contented simply listening to what others have to say, thats what makes things interesting, right?

oh and I’m lugging two boxes of polvoron to school tomorrow. it received a very welcome and warm response today. guys + food = where did the food go?

grabe naman, nakakainis! daming assignment, tapos walang oras. ano kala nila, isang subject lang ung ginagawa namin? minsan parang hindi nila maintindihan ung sitwasyon namin… paguwi sa bahay pagod na pagod, ano p b magagawa? san ko ba mahanap ung oras…

a decision made

and so I’ve finally left xanga, and maybe i’ll still keep it. I’ll simply jack sparrow it – you know, make it up as I go along…

once again there’s so much to do, work is piling up, each task on top of another, till the last one is hanging precariously on the edge – would it fall?

one thing’s for sure, I am glad to have today relatively free, to do all the work, which, quite obviously, isn’t done yet. Still, I’ve done a fair amount of work and am indeed happy about it.

was wonderful hearing from marilyn and rowena again, a reminder of the fun times we had together in 1T13, a glimmer of light in my otherwise gloomy journey – that 2 months in cj. I was even happier and pleased to find out that there will be a class outing, hopefully I can make it. It’d be great to see everyone again, to see how people have changed in that less-than-a-year period, to do lots and lots of catching up. Please let that day be kept free.

on to the highlights of the week: that unforgettable geography lesson. on how to talk your way out of getting a speeding ticket from malaysian police – football’s the way to go. about how he has taught people who became famous: stefanie sun and nick middleton. and how he almost shot to stardom, the close fight to earn a dream job – to become a sports commentator, and losing at the beginning of who wants to be a millionaire, he didn’t have the ‘fastest finger’. Its interesting to note that I find it harder to remember what he said about rivers. Hahaha.

then there was of course, the release of o level results. so my batch got beaten, the juniors brought the average down to a 13.6. sadly for music, only one got an A1, though a 62.5% distinction is good anytime. Next batch of music students: work hard and raise that figure! joshua – the godbrother – has a final score of 13 for poly. interesting choice he has – aviation management. I was quite disappointed with the performance of the secondary 5 students of henderson though, they didn’t do as well. anyway, I wish them the best in their next step ahead and hope that they’ll give their all.

quite a week it has been, hasn’t it? and work is never far, and I am so looking forward to the next week (not)
