it'll be really cool 10 years down the road when we all meet up.. some of us may be carrying babies when we meet up. haha it'll be really funny if we name them after each other. :D ok that was retarded.. but still :D then we can talk and hee if we play gr again, it'll probably be punctuated with squeaks and mispitching and swearing (like oh shit wrong note or stuff like.. what the hell..) haha but that'll be fun.. we must do something like that! :D
just want to give you all a BIG HUG and tell you all that i love you all soooooooo much :) and that i miss everybardy ;) haha i just thought of the "I CAN SEE YOU ALL WITH MY INFRARED VISION.."
Friday, September 15
sighhh i hope that at the end of the day, like 10 years down the road, we'll still get messages from like peixuan or huiyan or me or anyone saying like 'hey batch outing this friday meet at where what time okay?' (=
and then we'll meet up with like everyone and see how everyone has evolved. and then on july26 we'll crash the rg band room and play gr horribly but who really cares, really, because as long as it's all of us and we're playing together once more, who really cares?
Wednesday, September 13

ugh i'm in my room now just doing rubbish and rubbish and rubbish and getting withdrawal symptoms.. :( i should crash rj.. nic's lesson :) or crash nus.. anyone care to be a tour guide for a few hours? or for one lecture? :D
really miss you all X infinity...
much much love from iris :)
Friday, August 25
i crashed nic's lesson yesterday! it was a j1 class and i was wearing a j2 shirt. i had to pretend tt i was doing make-up for a test. anw, i think i gave myself away cos i was trying to talk to nic during e test n i was peeping at other pple's ans n dis girl was like staring at me. but i wasn't trying to copy, i just wanted to check if my luck was gd. e test was on bio! virus! i noe nth abt it la. anw i scored like 5/23. i think i scored e lowest in e class, but i think i was e most diligent student. i took notes thru out e whole lesson when nicole was explaning e answers.
anw, i think nicole is quite a gd teacher! she went like 'oei shut up' a lot. but tt's not why she's a gd teacher. she's quite gd at explanations la. considering im totally not a bio student, n i was still able to understand what she was talking abt =)
Thursday, August 24
and huiyan is here beside me haha.
we're in the rj com lab and huiyan is breaking all the rules because 1. she's not a student here 2. she's not a teacher here 3. she's in shorts and she's not supposed to be in the lab. BUT i'm exploiting my position as a teacher in rj so she's not getting scolded or anything (yet).
hello everybody!=D
clearly huiyan is a person of many words.
okay she really got nothing to say already.
but anyway she just told me that my entire list previously was wrong. so we gotta redo it haha oops. and can someone like please make this list permanently on the side or whatever haha i don't know how to do.

Mrs Lee somethingsomething Theatre
10bucks!
yayyyyy please come okay? you don't have to come to support me or inez or livia or christineocta (okay that's all the rg people in there), but come to support MR OURA!!
get tickets from me or inez or anyone else you know in ntusb or at the door.
comecomecomecomecomecomecome!
oh yeah the concert is called: REEL IN! because we're playing movie music. sounds like take off huh haha.
okay yup take care you guys!
Sunday, August 6
and yes iris, i'm now officially ms grumps. and not dao one. haha. i think they're interchangeable. so hecks.
anws. it's been a wk since i last saw you all. i've missed you guys loads! it's different with our batch as with others somehow. i feel almost telepathic at times. we know what each other is feeling and what they want, we know their quirks and all. and of course, as xy said, there are no pretenses amongst us. even if we had, i think it'd be difficult to hide la. i heard 'jia' the other day. and i had no one to share shunling's song with. cos no one wld understand it, nor wld they know that changing lyrics or making up songs seems to be our batch's (or shunling's) forte. haha. so i was singing it under my breath and getting mildly amused, but at the same time missing all you people.
sch starts tmr :(
see you people soon. i'm really looking forward to the next outing! haha. and even more so for the unplanned outing to go to london to visit the geps and watch les mis :s oh wells. haha. love you all loads.
Friday, August 4
the three days we spent together were so wonderful. thanks huiyan for all the preparations she put in!! it's with u guys that i feel really at home. we could sit forever and not talk and yet still feel comfortable. we could grouch, whine, be ourselves and everything is ok cos we accept each other for who we really are. there were no pretences, all guards down. it's with you guys that i can really be me!! thanks everyone for such a wonderful time.. i love u guyss!!
SOOO let's meet up on national day kk.. we haf enough tattoos for quite a few ppl i think.. we haf only 2 caps, 2 small flags to wave about.. we all dress in red and white okk.. maybe we cut out white cardboard stars and stick it on ourselvess.. hurhur! i think i'm mad.. okk. but it'll be fun.. and i want to collect as many memorable moments as i can wif u galsss (and tsemin the guy =P).
LET'S GO OUT THIS WEDNESDAY NATIONAL DAY AND BE PATRIOTIC!
xy and i went to ndp preview last sat so we got all these caps and tattoos and flags (well, actually only enough for 2)
so let's go out on wednesday afternoon and go about town being patriotic! since we're all leaving and may never get to do this again (i doubt it actually)
in the evening if we're lazy we can troop back to someone's house and watch the show (although i must say it's not that good, only the fireworks are good)
or we can go to someplace and catch the fireworks. (=
yup. so how?
Saturday, July 29
well first things first huiyan i love the video! haha the last le mis part reminded me of the last part of the real les mis when all of us sitting around yesterday commented on how it makes you wanna shout encore again. haha dun you all just wish that we could shout encore to our very own lives in rgssb?
and yeah gotta thank all of you who busied yourself preparing for the chalet. quite sad that i couldn't join you guys three quarters of the time but better there than never haha.
and to tse min... that poem is damn lame! haha has my retardness rubbed off on you already? i will attempt to continue it:
oh shit. haha tse min, do you want to add one more 'i love'? then it will really feel like those retarded limmericks that all kids remember. and those with kids can teach their kids this 10 years down the road.
i love, i love, i love
the retarded things we do
i love, i love, i love,
the fact that we still rule. (ok this doesn't really rhyme but it sounds quite inspiring... YEAH RIGHT!)
ok, the next person to post is responsible for adding more stanzas to our very first batch limmerick. wait actually this isn't even a limmerick. batch nursery rhyme i guess. what do you call those silly poems that go "roses are red, violets are blue (really?), the drain is stinky and so are you"? and yeah i didn't get to see clarine! a lot of other people too actually but i heard that clarine was the highlight of the first night haha!
Friday, July 28
i really really enjoyed chalet k. i havent laughed so much in ages. like really really really. and jus did stupid and random things. haha. and LES MIS IS STILL STUCK IN MY HEAD!!!!! okok. i think if i post what's stuck in wads left of my brain, you all wun kill me. it's better than the version we came up with in the airport. only i dunno how to continue it. so whoever can improvise on it -winks at the busy zhun-
I love, I love
my rgs batch mates,
I love, I love,
they make such great good dates.
abit retarded but hard to rhyme leh. and anws. i think hy doesnt need to feel embarrased by her vcd. i liked it. haha. all the nice songs! and tho the pics were rather small at times. great memories! i forgot all abt the retarded video tt we made at bishan park. haha! and i realised jus how much i'm like gg miss everybody.
gahh. anws. i know we're all not dying. but den again. not used to not seeing you pple. bah bah.
anws. yah. nic was talking abt our next chalet. maybe next yr's summer hols? like when they come back for their internship and wad not, we'll like book a chalet for the wkend and haf some good fun again? haha. poor hy this yr. erms. i'll try to help out next yr (if we haf one) :s LES MIS IS STILL STUCK IN MY HEAD! and yeps. i wanna go visit you guys and we'll haf a (semi) batch outing to watch it kk?? haha.
i really hope i see lr soon. i wanna watch les mis again before sch starts.
i love.. i love..
chalet was great funnnnnnnn let's do it again one day! and i'll bring my guitar and we can all sit around and laugh at me trying to play haha. and next time i'll stay all 3 days! and we can do all the fun stuff all over again, because with you guys the fun never ends. (=
oh yeah inezzza baby i heard that you wanted to change the layout? okay uh could we have like a thingy on the side like you know, all the other thingies on the side, that says where we are all? okay so like lemme just do a really impromptu and informal list now:

you all come up with a list of places tt have gd food den me and cin can make a list and plan the route, yes? haha.
i want chalet! i'm so damned free. anytime!! stayovers not as fun, cos mostly only 1 day affairs and i guess we wun be able to find a suitable place to house us all. haha. but i guess my response to hy's post is kinda redundant cos its the working pple tt actually make the difference here..
ntu is not only ABIT far away. its like a periphery area. bloody ULU can. oh and believe it or not tm's gg ntu to study accountancy. yeah yeah. no more dreams abt the armed forces or anything lyddat. and all you peeps (apart frm those gg overseas) are gg nus :( and tho our blog is like gg strong (i jus realised its like 2 yrs old!) i'll miss seeing you all. so we must make our chalet a reality kk.. later plan liao but nothing materialises abit sad only :( cos so hard to plan batch outings somemore :(
lets go jogging. the weather hasnt been tt gd recently. but still. it'd be gd to exercise. and i guess once i'm like moveded all the way to some ulu boon lay, no need to meet up and go macritchie to run or anything lyddat liao can.. so lets lets!
gah. i think i speak like a dying woman. but time is running out! sch's starting soon, and we all know tt its no hidden secret tt tm LOVES studying alot :(
Thursday, June 22
ah yes ntu is a bit far away.. a bit. takes me almost 2 hours to get there. -.- how terrible.
i saw tse min yesterday!! i haven't seen tse min since.. cadenza. o.0 so long. :( but yay nice to see peoples. and hui xian too!! haven't seen her since.. cadenza 9. haha. anyway, i want a food trail too!!! but someone must learn how to drive first. then we can rent a van and squeeze 18 people inside. hee.. liu rui! quickly pass! :D then we can go eat prata.. lots of food and most impotantly.. tang yuan! :D :D -feels excited-
we're having a chalet right? hy ! what is this tse min tells me that you can't make it for chalet hm?! must go k? and xin, remember arlin and i used to tell you that you look like plastercine. :) :) -squish- anyway, let's do yoga at the beach! then it can be like those incredible.. incredibly.. (whatever their tourism slogan is) india. :D hee hee. im' starting to look pasty. :( i don'thave a bikini though.. don't think i'll ever get one :) and we can play bridge until we get sunburnt. :) so funs..
i haven't jogged since like.. hm. can't remember when was the last time i jogged. where should we meet for jogging? sounds like a good idea.. although i'll probably start dying after 100 m. :)
i miss everybody!! (everybardy) :( can't wait to see you all again!! :) -hug hug hug hug hug-
Wednesday, June 21
1. on band
i'm playing for NBC. i hope at least. iris join us! everyone join us!
ntu is really far away. i'll love to play under mr. oura though. but who else is playing?
2. on outings
tsemin and i will draft a food trail kk! who's on?
i want chalet! let's go to the beach in sexy bikinis and get a sexy tan. mb we haf it on wkends la, since rui is working. *glares* workaholic. haha. um i want to go somewhere sunny la. i kinda miss the sun. i'm a tad yellow. heck people actually tell me 'you look yellow'. like wth, aren't ppl supposed to be more civilised than tt. gah. well anw, who's organising ah? i'm confused. we could do yoga, build sand castles, wade in the sea (murky as it may be), pick sea shells, stroll along in romantic fashion, do silly things, play bridge. wow. like wow. mann i really want to see the sun. ok i suppose everyone gets the idea. *beams*
um how abt we meet regularly for jogging? =P let's start a jogging thingyy. must keep fit.
UMM everyone stop working okk. working is bad for ur healthss =P
i miss everyone (and the sun).. hope to see ya sooon =(
Sunday, June 11
livia asked me to play for ntu band because she's the only perc around. i think i will be.
but anyway, she's inviting us ALL to play if we want to. it's under Mr Oura so that should be quite an incentive. (= i believe there are no tubas.
anyway anyway, pracs are
wednesday - 7pm to i forgot
saturday - 2pm to 5pm
the concert is august 26.
if you need/want more details, like are there too many of your instrument (Mr Oura says that he doesn't mind more flutes, so hmm i doubt there'll be too many of your instrument haha), ask me k?
miss you all! hope we have an outing soon.
Saturday, June 10
i'm most prob going to work till e end of dis month. is everyone not going to work in july? (i assume tt cos even i'm not =p) cos we're going to carry out our chalet plan! do ur want it on weekdays or weekends? pls tag or post somewhere if u can't make it on certain day(s) of july so tt we avoid booking e chalet on these days =D
shall we haf a bbq? or shall we cook?! haha...n r we really going to do yoga? wad else was on e list? shun ling! post e list of things tt we can do for batch outings! whee~ (i'm copying xy) i'm so excited!
Thursday, June 8
and for you poor employeds, come and join our league!!
let's see.. our current recruitment: xin! nic! paula! chong! inez(?) shunling! ok i don't know. this list is errr quite outdated potentially.. if u ppl have gone over to the other (DARK) side, then make the necessary amendments to my list kk!! haha.. and u employedss, rmb to date us out on ur off-days. rui, u workaholic. haha.
till then, take care~
Monday, May 29
and i want to hang out at people's house! if you all don't mind my puny and boring house (and the fact that my whole family is in since my mom has sch holz too and my cousins love to invade my house), comecome! haha i don't think i can fit like ten ppl though unless we have a pool party or something downstairs o_O just an idea.. haha.. can i pop over to people's houses also!!!
yay yay. FATS HERE WE COME!!! i've been pigging out on cakes and chocs. now MORE FOOD!!!
argh. ok. here's a lil response to xy's post. you know wad, at least we had the lao ren yuan last time. i dun mind a lao ren yuan NOW. at least you'll see each other everyday (as you have over the past 4-6yrs). i barely see you all now, much less talk abt stuff, do crazy things like ride in huge tuba boxes and wad not.
living in the past's no good. but i get wad xy was trying to say. band WAS our life. and now life seems empty and hollow. thing is, we dont have the music and pracs to accompany us now. was in a strangely nostalgic mood yday, so i picked up this bag of old notes and went thru some of em.
you'll seldom catch me saying this, but i wanna say this: to my dearest batch, thanx for being my friend! thanks for always being there for me, sharing the memories and fighting thru all tt shit tt made us the batch we are today. i'd almost forgot abt the stuff we used to do, to say, simply because i havent seen you all in ages (feels so to me la). but somehow by just going thru all the notes, i felt the concern tt we had in our batch again. and i'm glad for tt.
the above sounds bloody bimbotic. but yeps. just wanted to say tt we rock :)
and yeah. i think cl may be right. i may be suffering frm the stockholm syndrome. i dun know if i wanna quit my job now :s but i need a break. and the idea of just maybe hanging out at each other's house, talking, eating, or just doing our stuff or just meeting up outside really appeals to me. we shld live the life of a housewife (or poor tai tai however you wanna see it) before things start heating up.. right? shall we?
secondly, YEA, join us in our getting-fat scheme. (no, you did not hear that.) we just want to go for a buffet on wed! wheee~
thirdly, sighh, i agree with tsemin. we're old. we belong rightfully to the lao3 ren2 yuan4. haha, still remember that place? lol. now we don't even haf that. we're so lost. time rushes past us and we just float aimlessly about, sometimes losing our anchor to firm, solid ground. last time, i lived for band.. and now, i really don't know. it's really wonderful to meet any of you, to reminisce, to talk rubbish, to discuss the looming future.. just to see you all, feel happy, then get down to the monotonous job of organizing my life again.
just a final note (esp to hy), don't get too caught up with ur work ya? life's short, enjoy it! =P
Sunday, May 28
oh anws, i digressed. wanted to ask whens the next outing. cos right. yah. rmb tt list? i think zhun shld post it. when are we gg for our cruises, chalets, holidays, and all tt rubbish?! we're gg start wadever we're gg start and not haf fun before tt. how can?!!
i wanted to blog a long time ago but was too tired too. cos sometimes when ur walking along the road, you just think of stuff and you rmb things.. random things.. like our culottes to pe shorts changing technique and all tt rubbish la. i miss slping on the band rm floor.. haha. my ability to fall asleep anywhere is still rather gd.. as i realised during work yday. took a nap during break at the table just lyddat :s haha. and i rmbed the time when mr o slept on our band rm floor before zakeoff and we all tried to sneakily snap a photo of him. how amusing! such crazy stuff tt we used to do. funny how we're so old and weak and tired tt we dun haf time/energy to do such stupid things anymore :s
hoho. i think i jus contradicted xy's entry. but i'm like feeling.. old old old.. i miss singing silly songs. do you know i tried rmbing the words (original) to do re mi and couldnt? i cld only rmb half of our 'modified' version too. tts how sad.
and clarine's supposed to date me! i havent seen her! and whoever's free, lets go eat buffet on wed k? i've a day off. and i'm dating some pple (but not clarine) so -hinthint- someone must come along too k? haha. kk. i shall disappear for now, starting to sound bimbotic :s

Tuesday, May 16
it's so strange that we're so old, and yet, i don't feel any different. i still feel like doing the silly things we used to do, wear jeans and bum around, eat lots of junk (YEA eating is our batch hobby), laugh loudly, sing silly songs. i can't imagine the day when i'll walk around in high heels EVERYDAY and wear office skirts and blazers!! and put on make-up forever and boycott fast-food. but hey we're approaching our twenties! we're considered adults in some societies. i can't believe it mann..
Sunday, April 30
anw, im going to blog abt CLARINE! clarine is unrecognisable now! i dunno why, but it's not just me! i juz found out tt she eats ice cream! (how come i din noe tt previously?) she's planning to travel again, but i forgot where. to find out more, come for e batch outing on mon! =D
Saturday, April 29

actually everything is still kind of unconfirmed.
anyway see you monday!
anyway it's been a long while since i last blogged here and i see it's been bustling with activity. in fact clarine actually blogged! i think the last time she blogged was one year ago?
and actually i'm very proud of our blog cos it's still coming on strong after so long. ok maybe it;s just a few people but at least these few people blog consistently (somewhat). so now it's time to turn our eyes and glare at those who dun! muahahah!
tsemin is depressing me with all those marriage stuff. but the truth is that is extremely likely to happen. we barely even meet each other now although we are not married or anything. (ok maybe married to our jobs but still...) and then at weddings we will say, "oh my, look how pretty you are today! i'm so happy for you to see you all grown up and married now". though the truth is we perhaps only see each other grown up only because we haven't seen each other for so long. am i making sense here?
aiyah i'm very tired of blogging. tomorrow i go for another killer round of law written interview with no idea what terror awaits me. so i've more or less confirmed that i'll be going to fass. i heard that the food there is pretty good so if you nus guys are eating in the arts canteen, please do come and look for me! :)
ah i won't be able to meet up on monday :( i have some laos stuff to do! rahh. but you all have fun k? and try to organise batch outings where i can goo!! cos i think the last one i went for was the one at iris' house and that was really long ago when we were still in jc :P
anyway! on another note, i've moved my blog. too many prying eyes in blogspot i felt. so hmm if you want to know the add tell me ;) i'll gladly tell you.

and xy has damn weird ideas.. and so as i was telling her.. either i PON her wedding even if she elects me bridesmaid.. or she dismisses tt idea and allows me to do as i please. haha. rmb i'm like the master ponner la. hoho
and on the saddd topic of weddings, i haf sth depressing to say here. do you realise tt aft pple disappear frm spore to do their tertiary education, and aft we finish our tertiary education.. and get our jobs.. we'd seldom meet. then the next time we'd meet aft our studies wld be at each others weddings, den aft weddings wld be maybe first child den aft tt wld be each others funerals. sad can. cannot let tt happen know. so as we were brainstorming like ages ago.. we must haf an annual batch day! at the very least! so we dun lose touch/contact/sight of each other.
i realise tt i'm like very depressing here. withdrawal symptoms hitting me hard. you all must turn up on mon k! i hope we wun need to cancel :s
I think some time ago tm asked me to blog too. Tm is currently doing slave labour every day.
Hy probably didn't ask me to blog but she's guilty by association. Hy is practising the art of whining. Hy is also doing slave labour but strangely sympathetic to her employers. A form of Stockholm syndrome?
We ate at Pepper Lunch Express after I unfortunately bumped into xinyi who was wearing pink. Hy then proceeded to not recognise me every time she turned around and turned back. We ate cake at Breadtalk but they were really ordinary.

mann.. it's so strange now. it used to be just us. and now everyone's getting attached and disappearing... hy, tsemin, clarine and i were counting how many ppl will find it difficult to troop all the way down to east coast cos they'll be going out wif their other half (haha) and it was like nearly half the batch o_O i can understand the err naturalness of it all but it's amazing that we're getting soooooo old. we'll be going for each other's weddings soon!! (someone ask tsemin or clarine to be their bridesmaid!! so cute) *hides* i think they'll kill me on monday.. oh well *shrugs* i haven't met everyone for soooo long. i feel so ulu. (ulu pandan! ah.) it was so shocking to meet clarine today. firstly i barely recognized her. as did huiyan and tsemin. *laughs* and xiaohui! hahaha~ it's not that she changed. it's hard to describe.. that's why everyone must come kk.. then we can all see what's new wif clarine =)

HAHA. cant exactly rmb the skewed version.. was there only one verse? actually i think if anyone ever saw the lyrics, they'd be how irritated.. afterall, it was one of those songs our snrs played for ensemble. heh.
i miss footdrills too! footdrills is challenging!
oh and progessive studies has rather nice duets. duets were kinda fun, tho we din play them often. sadly :(

Saturday, April 8
i like this cheer that i'm positively sure was from the geniuses of arlin and isabel and huiyan when we were in sec 2.
let's go, come on, let's go! (Go where?)
let's go, come on, let's go! (Go where?)
let's go, come on, GO HERE GO THERE
let's go, come on, let's go! (GO WHERE!)
hmm should post the Comp'03 ones as well
(to the tune of J of GR)
we are playing tales of the sea for syf
it is a gross piece that doesn't make any sense
di tanjong katong is a singapore song
but we don't see the relation between that and comp!
(to the tune of di tanjong katong, tales of the sea style)
masamic aman, he is very good
he composed our comp piece, gr selection
he is very good, did we say that before,
but you must always say his full name amano
then there's the version #2 of progressive studies tune
do you have a problem, do you want to fight
do you have a problem, do you want to fight
do you have a problem, do you want to fight
do you have a problem, do you want to fight
do you, do you, do you, do you, have a problem?
do you, do you, do you, do you want to fight?
do you have a problem?
do you want to fight?
do you have a problem, do you want to fight?
do you have a problem, do you want to fight
do you have a problem, do you want to fight
do you, do you, do you, do you, do you have a problem?
do you, do you, do you, do you, do you want to fight?!
then there's the version #3
hello mr postman, how are you today?

ah aye to xinyi! i feel v fat too. and i've never jogged in macritchie before. ah maybe we could cycle! :D but can we wait awhile? cos i have dustmite bites all over my body and everytime i sweat it gets unbearably itchy :/
but i can't wait to see you all again!
ps. how do i get cadenza tickets? it's next thursday right?
love you all :)
Wednesday, March 29
well it means iceskating is ruled out. but i'm still quite keen on going to mcritchie, maybe jog? (see the monkeys - whee~) or we can like walk along the platform arnd the reservoir, quite romantic ehh, or form our own band and play there (errr). AND i still haven't given up the idea of sliding down slopes in cardboard boxes!! that's so US and that's so RG!! and we can picnic! or we can bum arnd in peixi's house if we get sian.. sounds perfect ehh. lalala, i decline to mention the probability of seeing tons of insects, mosquitoes; the likelihood of rain or even just humidity (ugh). might turn out uncomfortable.
SOOOO who's for the idea? say wheee~
some guy just called me n said he's starting a business. he asked whether im interested to join! i was like hello i don't even know you! apparently he's one of my classmates' friend n my classmate recommended me! ok...actually it seems quite funny now, but i was really shocked at first.
anw, i didn't realise cadenza is next week until i saw xinyi's entry! oh n coincidentally, i have a full day leave on thurs! yay! is there going to be any rehearsal at all?
aye to xinyi!
Tuesday, March 28
i wish paula lots of luck on her first job. and i wish nic luck for her vsepr game o_O and i wish myself lots of luck teaching in rg =P
i can't believe cadenza is nxt wk. it din feel like rg alumni at all lately. clars are still at one per part o_O anw i decided ice skating is good! it's exercise. and i shall ban all bumming for batch outings from now on. as if we're all not getting fat enough u know. i've been just sitting at home, accumulating fats. (eww) so we shall engage in vigorous exercises for batch outings from now on!! yay! those with me say aye!
Thursday, March 23

Monday, March 13
anws. do you realise tmr is the first day of the mar hols. mar hols have been like existent in my life for almost forever. how sad is this. i really wonder how adults can like carry on working with so few breaks a yr, day in day out, and the years pass so rapidly. that's like how boring.
and i also realised that they're having band camp tmr! frm the calendar they posted on the section cupboard. gee. though things have changed, i'd give anything to lie under the amphi, just talking, or even hearing some ridiculous person talking abt his 'infrared vision' again. i'm old, you're old, we're old :(
and i'm so bothered by my uni apps. wad the hell. ok. not even apps, but the preliminaries to the apps. i cant decide, yet pple keep asking. i mean i dont mind talking abt this much, but to pple i dun know well? and pple often express extreme shock at my indecision. so i settled for telling them, eh. fass nus. then telling someone else. eh, ntu accts. i have a great urge to tell those ignorant adults who only partially understand the education system that i'm gg to take medicine. i think i'll be so amused with their reactions. i can forsee it man. those REALLY ignorant ones will go 'ohhhhh, tts soooo gd. yah yah gd choice', or to those who are partially ignorant, 'huh, can ah. i dont think so leh', then they'll look at me as though i'm daft. but do you think i care? HAHAA. what fun.
and its back to work tmr again. monotonous and boring. i'm officially pantry girl :( haizz. oh wells. must be sure to be conscientious at work ok? haha. see you in a wk or two. oh and i was thinking. our batch old photo sharing session a few wks aft cadenza? we havent had it. yeah..
Tuesday, March 7
which means she didn't disappear, much as she'll like to appear to be =)
ahhhhh she's going to kill mee!!!
secondly i must admit i feel schizophrenic. why is no one blogging?
thirdly i hope everyone comes for rgalumni!! *prods clarine pointedly*
and fourthly and most excitingly, who's for ice skating? *beams*
okiie don't ask me why. sudden um urge to ice skate (ok ditto that, sudden urge to fall down a zillion times and get many many bruises so i can't wear skirts for a long long time o_O )

here's the RGSSB 2003 opinion wish-list. i'll try to remember what we said
anyway according to an extremely, shockingly democractic vote of the people there that night (liu rui, nicole, arlin, clarine, huiyan, tsemin and i.. did i leave out anyone?), the top 4 choices are armenian dances, elisabeth, shirim and hobbits. anyway there were some other stuff in the running like folk song suite, seventh night, dynamica (!!! sorry haha i realise that i'm really not very fond of this piece), oregon but somehow we came down to this.
oh by the way, the whole democratic process saw shirim emerging as the final victor of the day. unfortunately, apparently the juniors dun quite like it. but, as nicole had repeatedly stressed, this is rgssb batch 2003's opinion. so at the moment, we should not really care abt other people's opinions and be selfish for once. muahahahahaha! let all these complicating unpredictable human behaviour factor thing come in later lah.
of course maybe the list seems ambitious, but after all it is a wish list. so anyone with any input and opinions please feel free to voice it out. after all, we are a group of very democratic people haha! let's have with the discussion and see most of you all tmr night!
(Ok, here were all the choices that were thrown up... please give more input! maybe you might have a photographic memory remembering scores and pieces that are very nice which we might have overlooked)
in no order of ranking or whatsoever
- armenian dances
- dynamica
- toccata
- el camino
- elisabeth
- folk song suite
- gr
- hungarian fantasy... HAHAHA!
- czardas
- hobbits
- matrix
- oregon
- persis
- pocahantas
- riverdance
- shirim
- seventh night
Tuesday, February 21
but i guess it's kinda apt o_O fat and pink ehh.. well considering we're all doing rubbishy office jobs, or at least static jobs, i'm not at all surprised we'll become fat. (though lately my job requires me to go traversing half the island on foot o_O)
i can't wait for alumni! i errr want to play oregon *beams* i want to play with huichong again! i want to be playing in RGSSB againnn. this is so exciting, i pray it pulls through =(

ntu band concert was great! i love the alumni (laoshilaoshilaoshi). i love howl's moving castle. and hy was rubbishing abt the quote being a combined quote. it's clearly a hy quote. i'm not that intelligent. my brain has disintegrated from working. i'm beginning to mix up words like 'intelligent' and 'intelligible'. says A LOT duzn it? =P
ok batch outing on 11 feb! rui's house!! pretty much confirmed. although i think paula can't make it =( i hope most ppl can??
i wanna go on 31st jan! but dunno whether err must go visitings.
take care everybodyyy~
haha...ok...i went for ntu concert ytd! (with marlin, sl, nic, clarine n xy) we got to see both laoshi n mr oura! laoshi conducted e alumni band! n they played hannukah! i miss laoshi! his conducting is still so good n laoshi-ish! ok, ur noe wad i mean...a combined quote from xy n me: "most conductors conduct e beats onli, but laoshi conducts e music." =D yep...n mr oura was great too! i think e repertoire tt he chose was realli good =)
btw, mandy asked whether we all would want to visit laoshi with her batch n peiyan's batch. most prob on 31 jan (3rd day of cny, it's a public hol). yep...leave a msg on e tagboard or msg me k? mandy needs to noe how many pple r going. ok...tt's all! take care! =D

oh as i was walking home frm the office today, i heard sth really pleasant to my ears!! g y s s is behind my home. and whilst walking back, i heard the sound of instruments playing. trp and trombone i think. and it was really nice. rmb the huge mass of sound tt was produced when we warmed up for prac each time? it was sth lyddat. it also resembled the kinda mix of sound tt we produced when we did indiv. and the hot sweltering sun brought back the memories of how we'd sweat like shit and prac in the corridors or amphi. abit sad can. no more days like these.
oh wells. short post this time. i think i'm blabbering. so yah.
Sunday, January 15
HEH. i enjoyed yday. haha. the time spent tog was rather short tho. but i got to laugh and do stupid things again. somehow you dun manage to laugh at the workplace. and i guess tts y i manage to laugh so much at certain scenes at the tv serials tt i'm watching now. nv used to b so amused by such things in the past. laughter is gd for you. hah.
yap zhun is being far too cheem for me. she makes some sense, like representing the company tt you work for, and all tt. i guess my brain's really stagnating. but i guess when you work, you get to put urself in the shoes of others. like i met this guy with superbly poor service at the bank yday. bo chap attitude. i mean, now tt we are working, you know tt even if you were placed in his shoes, you'd provide better service than tt. and tts coming frm the daoest and meanest person tt you ever know.
i think i make alot of calls too. no more phobia of calling pple tt i dun even know. i know tt we're like equipped to handle this. adjusting is one thing, but accepting it is another. i think you see superficiality in sch too la, but on a different level. but i maintain tt perhaps if we manage to make it to the top in future, we shld still b able to see the valley of the mountain tt we ascended. so far, the nicest pple at the office are the cleaning ladies and the postmen la. and not the hoity toity upper level management who only know how to scold pple -.-
i think we're all damn sheltered, be it abt wad goes on outside, or wad goes on in companies. tts y i wanna LEARN sth, n not get paid to do brainless work. nonetheless, xy's working environment sounds funky and dynamic. haha. not the job scope.
hy, guess wad. despite the fact tt we're all working at different places, i think its a gd thing. i do not want to work in a company with any of you in future. temp jobs are fine, but not perm jobs. once politics and stuff take over, the old bonds will be erased, and tt'll b how sad. its better to either lose contact and rmb the gd times, or to remain in contact but meet less frequently, than remain in constant contact and conflict. and we haf the blog to keep us in touch! even marlin reads this la, tho i doubt she has accepted our invite to the blog. shes how sneaky :P
and i wanna finish watching les mis. the last time was wad.. 2003 band camp. we got interrupted by SOMEONE with like INFRARED vision eh. HMPH. oh yah. i realised yday tt cny eve is supposedly a sat.. so we can still meet up i think? i guess most wouldnt hafta work! i hope px sees this. haha. we've been meeting up every new year's eve for the past 2 yrs anyways. haha. batch tradition anyone? and lets all bring photos the next time round!
gah. gg off soon. this entry is bloody disjointed. but i read all the entries and had so many thoughts gg on in my head, so i jus dumped everything into this. yep. here's to all the pple tt i've known for ONE THIRD my life, SEE YOU SOON!
haven't seen all of you in ages and ages! i've missed all of you alot. like alot alot alot. heh :) so we have another outing in february at liurui's house isit? since px is in london :p mm if you all want to organise outings my free days are mondays and the later half of saturdays. weird i know, but i'm in this church programme you see :) oh but i'll be away from the 4th to about 17th feb i think for a mission trip so i'm not too sure if i can make it for the next outin :( :(
anyway all your work sounds quite interesting. i mean even if you all don't feel like you're doing anything constructive, it's still an experience in the working world and i suppose money cannot buy you any of that.
many things have happened so far to make me so glad that i have all of you :) -big hugs-
take care and till we meet again, keep smiling ya :)
love, paula.

poor shun. i kinda like being around so many 18 yr olds, cos like we gossip and do rubbish like discuss fashion o_O when the boss is not around. haha but i got scolded by the boss today. ahh in fact i'm very sad today. cos i got scolded by this aslfajlcijw guy, a certain uncooperative mr. pang. he thinks i'm making trouble for him, and he scolded me for half an hr, and i cudn slam the phone down, cos my boss will KILL me. i was nearly crying lor. my colleagues said my whole face (and ears) was red. i hate uncooperative ppl. i want to bash him up. i haf his address. muahahahaha~ ok then my colleague called him oso, and my colleague got scolded as well. stupid rite? man i get paid to get scolded. how exciting.
OH i've a new colleague (who thinks yuqing is an ok guy o_O) haha. ok shan't elaborate. who noes who reads the blog mann.
i love everyone.. and i really really miss u all. i hope we're ALL playing for cadenza? eh 21st at rui's house can?
Tuesday, January 10
so wad's sl working as? does she work at a bank too? how come need to count money? haha..i calculate the amount on cheques too! but i always make mistakes becos e office calculator is so different from our normal school calculator =S a bit hard to use (tho dere r significantly less buttons)
nowadays, when im at home at nite, i'll think of e times tt im realli happy. tho dere aren't many, i realised most of them r spent with ur. so i can't imagine how boring and sad life will be when we realli go study and work in different places in the future. can we haf outings like once a month? hai...but i think it's a bit impossible esp since we can't even find a day when everyone is free now.
ok...i think most of u r going to earn ur 1st thousand before me, considering e low pay tt i get. so i want a treat too! haha...anw, can ur all see tt my entries r getting longer and longer? tt's so not hy. so i shall stop here. haha...bye everybody! =D
anyway, dun be too discouraged lah. the real world is like that, can be quite unfriendly, can be quite unfeeling, lots of superficiality going on but we still need to remember that these people after all are trying to stake a living for themselves. and sometimes it may be very hard to contain everything to yourself and not let it out at all but yet u dun want to confront the person, so i guess that's why there's bitching and backstabbing. not that it is right... i dunno if we can we should avoid it but haha i guess we just got to live with it lah. haha welcome to the real world. initially i had to make lots of calls to strangers and i hate making phone calls to even people i know so it was pretty weird. and it's pretty weird to have to let the other party know who you are. it's like you are some small fry and is it even worth it knowing who you are? hmm but it's a new experience (somewhat) that when u work u are no longer representing urself but ur company and hence cannot do whatever u like. haha reminds me of that time when liying scolded us for not tucking in our band shirts. tucking in band shirts may seem like something really preppy and uncool but she taught us a very important lesson that when we go out into the world we are really no longer individuals, no matter how much we would like to be. so hmm... to see it in an optimistic light we have not been unprepared for when we enter this working world... haha our band experiences and discipline had already prepare us for stuff like that.
i sound like i'm giving a lecture. haha but work is really... dry? i won't say it's tough it's something that definitely takes less effort than mugging i suppose cos there's like a fixed routine to it. but maybe cos there's a fixed routine that there's no challenge in it all. the bright side is that we are getting paid for doing something brainless. the other side is that we are getting paid peanuts for doing something brainless that is wasting our time, or that we are getting paid alot but the opportunity cost of giving up leisure is higher. haha i think i have a better understanding of all these econs rubbish now that we're working. i think i'm just really bored today and talking rubbish. yeah when i work i'm bored. when i have a free day i'm really happy but still bored. i hope that you are not facing this boredom syndrome that has infected me since the holidays started?
and yeah i dun mind the batch outing... but i mind the distance! haha. and yeah xinyi ur boss happen to live in the same place as liu rui or what? haha you make it sound like liu rui is ur boss. in that case i dun mind being employed by her too. haha.
ANWs, i'm free on sats. actually got work but it's optional la, it's like OT, ya. AND liurui has kindly offered to let us go her house. we could bbq or something o_O. if we can start the fire. i tried learning today. haha. and we can go west coast park or something. yarr. and her pool very nice, i can't wait to jump in it, ya!! anw i really really miss u guys. although my colleagues quite nice, but i'm still not very familiar with them. sometimes i dunno wat to say to them. and some of them are like really chummy already, so i can't like errr get into their clique kinda thing. ah dunno how to say. but ya, i miss like talking rubbish with u guys =( hurry decide ok. err how about THIS SAT?!! like ermm 14th?!! or 21st!! 21st should be safe for me? haha. i dunno. choose la u all. 14th or 21st. if like more than 3 ppl say ok here, then we start msging ppl. i can do woodwinds? haha. then 1 brass do brasses then well nic do perc. well nic contact zun o_O haha. ya?ya!! ya!!! =P
Monday, January 9
i guess each job has its own plus and minus pts la. my pay's decent. but boring. i'm jus damn exasperated cos i dun learn anything useful. before getting employed, i was feeling unemployed, unaccomplished and unsatisfied. after getting employed, you just take away the first factor. my last day of work was today. for being a recep tt is. and some of them were pretty nice to me. but on closer observation, some pple are superficial to some of their colleagues. perhaps they arent tt superficial to xiao meimeis like us, cos we're temps and they have no need to be wary of us. i HATED hearing stupid refrains of 'happy new year' with tt fake cheery voice, cos new year was like one week past, and of course, you know that they dun mean it, but use it as part of a formality or friendliness that i cannot understand. gossiping, yes la. sure haf one. backstabbing, i havent really seen. (err, pple who work in mncs dun go blogsurfing, do they?)
but as to whether we are child labour, i think i'd agree on that. pre adult labour maybe. most are pleasant, as i've said many times. i appreciate that. but there are some who look at you with a sneer and prob think that you arent well skilled thats y ur stuck with this job that is obviously brainless and not as impt as theirs. they look down on you, and take you as an outlet for frustration. like today, i got scolded over the phone w/o giving myself a chance to explain, though the fault wasnt mine.. at all. and of course i was so indignant that i was stunned. being the proud person that i am, i obviously do not take to such things v well. and i dint clear things up. i hope i'm not biting the hand that feeds me. i appreciate the nice acts by some of my colleagues. but shld i just say that some arent as.. tolerant? they prob assume you made the mistake cos ur young, ignorant and stupid.
maybe thats y i think i'll nv go into the service industry. i dont think i can take pple's black faces v well, tho i'd b rather glad to be able to help anyone in the course of work.
starting new job as some data entry cum call ctr operator. ans queries. i dunno wad i'll get outta there. but i'm the youngest. and there are only like 3-4 others working on it.
maybe thats how i got jaded eh. no one to keep me young. i guess its cos of wad hy said. tv keeps me frm gg crazy. keeps you away from boredom and reality. being cooped up at home over the wkend only made me feel worse. i miss the company of frens a lil. but because i feel so hollow, i dun mind being a loner. cos when ur hollow, you know you dun feel like talking. maybe we shld meet, cos i'm sure i'll perk up then. haha. i'm free sat! -raises hand- but i think p's only free aft 3.. so we compromise? put up ur hands pple.
i'd like the beach. wrong weather tho. the rain stinks when you want some fun.
haizz. cadenza. i miss my trp. bloody braces not out yet. not soon either :(
i think this is one of the first few times that i'm putting up such long posts and stuff. sharing my sentiments cos we have less time to meet up now. and being so frank at that. dont know who reads this, but i hope no one comes aft me for that.

but i muz say im more lucky than xinyi n tsemin cos most of e pple dere r realli nice n helpful. dere's onli a bit of backstabbing coming from a few black sheep. yep...most pple r friendly. n surprisingly, all e pple speak chi. so my chinese is improving again aft i have not touched chinese for 2 yrs =)
yep...but life's quite boring now. sometimes, when i come back from work, i'll feel quite empty. den i'll think of u all, my horn, mr oura, school n A lvls results. ya..den i'll start to panic. ok..ignore tt. anw, i keep asking when r we going to haf an outing. i shall stop asking tt n ask another qn. r all of u free on sat? den we find one sat n go fly kite(s)! yep..reply k?
oh..n r all of u going to play for cadenza? though i'll be quite lousy dis time, but i still want to play with all of u again! hopefully, e proposal will get thru =) haha...n mb nic or iris will haf to conduct dis time =) ok..i shall stop here..see all of u soon! good luck to anyone who has any interview or anything! bye!
haha but the idea of getting paid for doing nothing sounds good to me.
i feel like child labour o_O you call people, they slam down on you three times in a row, you get fed up and tell them this is a compulsory government survey and u betta do it if not we can fine u up to $1000/day. so there. i call 100 companies a day and my boss still says it's slow!! lol.
but i guess office work is kinda superficial. i see ppl gossiping, backstabbing alr. and my whole team consists of 18 year olds with like 2 supervisor, one only 25, and the other is a errr female (whose age we cannot disclose o_O) we even had a near rebellion last wk o_O quite scary, like one of the departments just stopped working, then all work had to stop cos like errr nothing gets processed. but i guess i still haven't seen the real world yet, most of the time i'm stuck in a little room, chatting to other 18 year olds about mundane stuff from shopping to music (but of course, only when the boss isn't looking) and my boss is quite nice, when we OT, she'll buy dinner for us from her own money!! sometimes i can nearly forget i'm in an office, until grouchy old permanent staffs come and complain about our noise levels, our lack of productivity, about how we jam the photocopying machine, or go to the toilet to often.. sounds almost like school, doesn't it? haha~
soooo tseminn!! don't be so jaded! we ARE still youngg! let's have a batch outing on sat!! i was thinking of the beach, where it's sunny and we can scream and run and be young again!! haha. ok but it's beeen pouring recently. maybe we can go iris' or nic's house again!! and just pig out, watch alarming french movies and just bitch about stuff, haha =)

actually i cant decide if i miss sch. it IS boring, and tiring. and of course, if i were in j2 all over again this yr, i think i'd be sleeping in lessons yet again. but then again, sch is more dynamic, and you can lose yourself in childishness with the excuse that you are still schooling and still young. and its more fun, of course. all that craziness. at the workplace, people are nice, but with a sense of superficiality to them. i've been temping as a receptionist for the past 3 days. at 2 different companies. yah, the pay's not bad, considering you get paid for doing almost nothing half the time. the mere idea of it sounds gd eh, get paid for doing so little, jus answering calls and what not. but i find myself staring out of the window to gauge the weather, and watching the clock closely though i have a book with me. its darned boring. its brainless. and it irritates me. for once my brain gets to rest, and i get fidgety.
and so, i've been thinking about stupid stuff. like the pros and cons to women's fashion. and i think that the person who invented it shld be shot, though tt person would most prob be dead by now. court shoes stink. they only bring you blisters, and spoil ur feet by deforming them. and my agent told me to wear em for my 2nd assignment. im glad i stuffed a shoebag containing sandals into my bag, or i'd be in agony the whole day. and i think that skirts are stupid cos they limit your movement. what if you are running away frm a crook, or chasing after a thief? you arent able to take large strides at all, and you'd most prob get harmed. not to mention chasing aft a bus if ur late.
as you can see, these reasons are pretty stupid, and i must haf been superbly bored. but the thing is, there is no satisfaction in whatever im doing now. apparantly a jc education only gives you a passport to doing stupid stuff cos you haf no cert, and pple dowan to fully equip you with the skills cos its a waste of time since ur only a temp. so i dont get what others mean by saying that you'll learn sth frm ofice life. their structure? you dun even adequately know their job scope, or wad you could do. maybe you get an insight of how ur going to be a carbon copy of these people in a few years time.. superficial and falsely sophisticated. to them it could be 'etiquette' or 'protocol', but its just plain superficial to lil ol' me. maybe i'm biased, but i so dont want an office life.
maybe these words are going to come back to me in time to come, cos i may be stuck in an office. i think i'm disgruntled as i usually am la. the grass is always greener on the other side. this time, i dont know where. but i know the grass here is kinda disgusting.
oh wells. ranting here doesnt seem to help. i dont know what i want now. maybe having a lil batch outing wld be gd, can sink back into our childish personalities and haf fun. anyone? or too busy with work.. kite flying.. sharing photos. we've much to do here. hah.
i'm gg off first. tell me if anyone finds a more optimistic outlook towards our growing process. maybe i'll buy it..

i have a simple wish for everyone: may we stay happy!
this year feels different somehow (strange what 9 minutes of fireworks can do to you). maybe it's cos this year began with a heavy downpour o_O haha, but may it wish away all our tears and misery and let us face this new year with a fresh start!!

and so, i've gladly calculated for us. assuming 20 people and $1000, we can all happily eat at the fullerton for $50 a person! (so therefore we can't have the $99 buffet but who's complaining, a la carte will probably be as good.) yup so i think we can all like order either a main course + a dessert a person, or like a main course and then we buy loads of wine.
yup huiyan must call us when you're loaded k! (= (= hahaha
okay next thing which is not so important to me but i guess it's quite important to some people. go for coda raffles rewinds by raffles winds! i'm not performing, but loads of people are (that's why it's important to them). hmmm liurui xinyi paula inez huiyan peixuan clarine iris! did i miss out anyone?
yup and you can also go to appreciate the planning and stuff! peixuan is doing dunno what (sorry dear! i really don't know.) and huiyan is doing stageplan so you can like go appreciate her stageplan! and see her furtively test the other mike on stage while the emcees talk haha then you can laugh and point her out to the whole hall.
