ah ok i seem to be perpetually on this. just had a paper today. so i'm having a mini break! am pretty much too tired to do any work anyway. haha.
so do walnuts help keep you awake? haha. i've loads at home! mum uses them in her bread all most of the time. but i wont be needing them for long.. one more paper!
ah paula i hope your essays are done! the deadline shld have passed by now, right? hope all's going well!
and.. hahah i'm not going out to work all THAT soon. i've.. 6 more months now. they just pushed it back to october. and yeah i realised that adults.. generally are more serious but they never really lose that childish side of them. so yeah.. as long as there are people around to goof off with, i guess that childish side will always come out :)
yeah i want many meetups too. it's never enough. like last year it only happened.. once? twice?
what about the rest of you guys? when are you coming back?
AND after talking to you briefly online the other day, paula, i realised that my plans are screwed cause i dont know about them. will prolly be in singapore all the way til like june. then the rest i can only confirm after the 16th of may. if you refer to emo post number 1 that started the long 'essays', you'll find out that i was emo cause.. i was all set to not go to netherlands in july. and i still dont know if i'm gonna be able to go. but if i'm not going to the netherlands, i'll prolly jet off to japan for 6 weeks with an option to extend for another 1 or 2 more, if they still accept me. been dragging my feet about handing in the deposit.
ok this is abrupt. but that's all for now.
take care people. drink more water! esp the people in singapore (if you read this!) the weather's scorching hot!

hello dears :)
ah being psychic is good! it means we share a special connection from the bonds that we all have.
i'm so tired but i'm still working on my paper - and my roommate just told me that walnuts are nature's caffeine, so if you want a natural alternative to coffee, eat walnuts! (i'll tell you if it works when i finish my paper)
i've been working on this paper for 4 days (i scheduled only 2) so i'm a bit stressed that the backlog of work will come and bite me! but i guess things will work out in the end, they always will :)
hope everyone has been doing well. at times i stare out of my window and think about the good times that we had, especially that sleepover at nic's house with her hol(e)y shirt and all that eating and silly photos. those were good times. even as some of us *ahem* tm go out to work, let's never lose that child in us, the silliness in us that keeps us young, and close.
can't wait to see all of you again! i vote for many dinners/lunches/teas/sleepovers!
when is everyone coming back? and is anyone flying away for the summer? i'll be back end june!

sorry for the spam pple.
haha paula! i swear you're psychic. was just thinking that i havent talked to you in ages.. and lo and behold! i see a post on the batch blog.. haha.
i was gonna randomly post that.. i havent worn our batch shirt in ages.. and i'm gonna try to locate it after the exams. it's somewhere in my cupboard and i kinda miss seeing it.
when you're bored mugging you think of random things, old times, studying times.
will write a proper post the next time (i'm longwinded)
in the meantime,
hy. pls dont get too stressed with school!
paula: do cheer up! i miss you too! catch up soon..
cin: WHERE'S MY ESSAY?! haha. kidding. hope you're not too busy :)
the rest: WHERE ARE YOU?!
-end of insanity-

hello dear :)
my lent resolution was not to read blogs or watch tv online, so that's why i haven't been keeping updated with the batch blog. but it was really nice to see all the posts online, and xy and tm - keep updating each other here! facebook is a bit too public now.. i don't feel very secure posting up stuff, unless we do the message thing.
i heard about rgssb from hy - and i was shell-shocked. i have no idea what to do. and a few days later it was ri, and i was just like 'what?!' it just seemed incredible i think.. like i never thought this would happen. it made me emo for very long. i guess tm is right, we haven't been keeping in touch with our juniors - i guess sometimes we mourn about the loss of tradition/discipline, but aren't we the ones who are supposed to keep the flame burning as well?
and about putting the instrument down - i can safely say that i'll never play the saxophone again. and i think i agree with xy, that i don't think i can imagine myself playing in an unfamiliar environment, having to learn the different mannerisms and take on different habits. rwinds was already quite a stretch, if you guys weren't there i wouldn't have joined. i guess i blogged about it before - making music in life is a phase that for me is completely and utterly over. i don't know what happened, i just felt like it was. i admire all of you who continue playing, whether in rwinds or in the different bands that you all are at - i wish that passion for music had lasted a bit longer for me, that i could have become better and more disciplined at practising.
but i guess i believe that there are some things that happen in life for a reason, and then these things have to come to a close. and that was band for me - what's stayed is the friendships, and i'm so happy that i've met all of you.
exchange in Canada is good, but i'm feeling stressed now because i have loads of work to finish. and i miss you guys so much. the past few days there's been some skirmishes with the people i hang out with (i'm not involved) but it just made me miss the good ol' times when we were together. everything just seemed more.. real. but i guess we all are placed at different places for a reason! :) and we'll see each other soon.
take care everyone :) -hugs-

ah i was gonna blog cin (and everyone else of course) an essay a few days ago, didnt have time. and argh yesterday cropped up and.. i decided i had more than an essay to blog. so here goes. i swear it's gonna be my personal blog alr.
wrt nez's post: yeah, i wasnt there, but i heard thru sms. and i was just holding the sms and i was just.. stunned. didnt even bother to ask how they played or anything. was just like.. why didnt we go down to see them play (not like we have time) but wld have wanted to see how they played for myself. and so this person came by.. and her sec sch band got gwh that morn and HAHA-ed in my face abt how it was true (i forgot april fools existed actually) and how they got whatever they got. in all fairness, she usually talks without thinking first. but erms. sorry the shock and all.. like just minutes before, expectedly, i snapped at her.
i glared at her and said 'it's not funny'. and now SHE was stunned. and i felt bad immediately aft tt esp to pple not used to the use of this phrase. i havent given anyone the look in ages. but like whatever. the insensitivity and all. she apologized like a few hrs later aft being kept on tenterhooks (i think) by my seeming bad mood, which had already dissipated by then. i think i stunned myself also. like. omg. that phrase. i doubt we've used it much since we left secondary school. and looks like despite the fact that i work very hard to rein in my -yes, infamous- temper, it's like.. always lurking around somewhere huh.
ok and i promised px i wldnt think so much abt it and erms we'd talk when we meet up (in approx 3 wks or so when i finish running the final race).. but i came home slightly early today and decided to poke around online. ah this batch is united. that's all i can say. chanced upon their batch blog. it's like amazing. and like. nth much has changed despite our perceptions? i still cant fathom why we're like.. not in touch with the band anymore or the like though. like. we dont know who exists and all. gg back to sch w/o seeing the band and all, it's just familiar and nice and potentially very safe. but reading their accounts of life in the best place ever.. ahh thats different. it triggers so many memories and more nostalgia than i've ever experienced in ages. haha. thats called opening a can of worms. backside itchy ask for it.
and on a side note, after not going down for about 2 weeks because of some.. issues and the supposed exam break. i went down to prac for a trp sextet yesterday. was potentially rather disastrous considering we're due to perform in sch next week, and i wasnt there last practice..but.. twas gd to be back in the band room again. haha. music take control indeed, cin! the band room has always been something like a sanctuary wherever we went, and always the nice to practice in i guess. the house sucks.
and you DONT have to do prac crit to see the meaning behind those words! haha. ums. i kinda forgot what prac crit was supposed to be like.. heh. think i wldnt be able to dissect/analyse anything anymore :x BUT one thing for sure: i can definitely see the contrast between tm the housewife and rui the fortune's top 100. what's up with that?! tsk -feels indignant-
and yeah. we'll never find enough time to meet up.. so the moral of the story is.. try to blog more essays? haha. we're all too busy to. i guess we only blog essays when we get busier huh.
ok la. i think this essay was not really an essay anymore. more like an emo post :x
apologies people! didnt mean to be depressing.. i realised i havent written something like that since the transition to uni life. but yeah. just wanted to.. talk abt it.. and my guilt at kinda losing my temper. eeeeeps.
ah wells. back to readings! essay due sat 2000 words :x
