ok,sorry for the lack of updates this few days.
kinda busy & worn out too.
ok,lets start with sunday.

21st december 2008
it was my all time BEST FRIEND LIZA's birthday,so of course i should sing her a song right?
Happy Birthday to you!
You are born in the zoo!
With the monkeys & Donkeys~
& now you're one too!!

Best,your presents are still here!!

ok,continue on.
i had my solo but the conductor wasnt there to play for me,
so instead,the electonist had to play for me.
i went up,sang & was embarrassed.
i didnt make it this time..
it was too difficult,my level of confidence had dropped.

during breakfast,
auntie doris said i had sung well,but the look from my face could tell that i was not confident enough.
She also said,there was once i was so confident that i sang so loud & so well!
Even auntie julie said i had sung well,just that i was too soft.
my confidence level had dropped...

But there is one thing i need to emphasize on.
I never fail to be amazed by the encouragement from my choir members despite my singing.
their encouragment is so "powerful" that i always aim to do my best.

22nd december 2008
was out to Victioria Concert Hall[VCH] to attend a concert perfomance by St.Patrick's Military Band(SPMB).
during the concert,
i could do nothing more than to WOW at the way they played.
they used the correct techniques & even though they are large in numbers,
they sounded like a band.

liyun was jealous about the french horn players.
they could play a flexible range from low pitch to high pitch notes.
even the quality of the sound is totally awesome!!
even the trombones sounded so majestic!!

WELL DONE GUYS!!Desmond,Benjamin(maybe),Jude & Bryan,well done!!

songs they played:
-Guardians Of Peace
-Symphony No.9
-An American Elegy
-Machu Picchu
-Swing The Mood
-El Camino Real
-J-POP Hits
-All I Ask Of You
-Rock & Roll Explosion
-Abba Gold
-ST.PATRICK'S SECONDARY SCHOOL SONG

23rd december 2008
today,
had band & it was freaking saddening & not fun at all.
totally,it....
caryn was the major problem during the tutoring.
Mr.Yeo was totally mad at her & scolded the whole section too.
but he praised me too.

he said,on the 1st lesson with him,i sounded worser than caryn.
but now,my standard is the same as the 1st trombone players.
i could play better than peixiang,i could say my standard is the same as aziz.
so we now have to practice our 1octave higher G,& soon we'll have to play 2octave higher Bb.

impossible...
nono,i could at least touch the 1octave high G note & drop.
but at least i tried.
i dont squeeze & i find trombone a easy instrument to play.
i could even play tribal better,catching up with the 2009 SYF sap piece-overture no.1
maybe a little?

had a gift exchange but,
i didnt get gifts!!
just gave some home-made traditional snacks.
& after band,we wanted to pour water on liyun's head,until lijing reminded me about her head.
so instead,i went to pour on waihian,pity her.
no!pity me more.

sabrina & i was pouring water at each other.
gawd...
we were freaking wet while waihian was drying herself up!!
unfair~
ok,took bus home & kept the gifts under the tree,gonna open them up during christmas & not before that.

Thanks to Lijing for your gift,sabrina for your nice,uncool water stuff.
but hopefully,i get all of your presents by this year or next year january~febuary.

there's nothing i can update,
but ther are a few questions left to be answered.

~ends~

shall be a reporter today.=/

Welcome to friday's news.
Today's headline will be about Bukit View Primary School Band.

Today,Friday at 4pm,marks the closing down of Bukit View Primary School Band.
As the band was closed down,a new CCA will be in place of band.And it would be Angklung/Kulingtan.
Samuel Tan,13,a member of the Bukit View Primary School Band,said that if the new CCA replaced band,he would sabotage the CCA by cutting the strings and burning all the instruments.
Radin,11,agreed too.

Before the band was officially pronounced close,
the band,consisting of some members,seniors & friends from other schools,
played a few songs,not only to entertain ourselves,but also the teachers who were there.
As the band played the SAP pieces,
they were told by Mr Chong,their conductor,to recall all the memories that they had.

The pieces played are as follows:

1)Pacific Granduer
2)Ashland Park
3)Bridgeview
4)Addison Way
5)Classical Canon
6)Spirited Away
7)YMCA
8)Pomp & Land of ~~~

As the last piece was played,
many members had remembered the days of joy,days of scolding & days of sadness.
Saliyanti,15,said,"I remember the time when i had to play solo during SYF & after that i cried,because Mr Chong said i played so soft."

I am claudia,reporting from Singapore.

ok,enough crapping.
lets get on to serious business.

yesterday after the concert/practice,
was happy that that stupid morron,weitai,had gone home straight instead of sticking to me & liyun.
so me,liyun,alicia,saliyanti,samuel,isaac,iskandar & sallehan[?] was like super happy.
then we went to westmall,walked around then went to mac.
but on the way,saw denise & jingping.like long time never see them!!

then the rest ate macdonalds,while me & liyun didnt feel like eating.
then laughed like mad people.
anyway,samuel went off first.
then someone suggested to go to Little Guilin.so we walked there & sat down.
somehow,i kept telling liyun that i wanted to go home.
but didnt.

then the guys went for a walk?
so saliyanti became a story teller & us[alicia,liyun,me] was listening to her stories.
then the guys came back,so someone suggested to go look for a ghost?
thought so.

so told saliyanti that i had my mens~.
then iskandar said that just stand outside.
so we went,then i went to get a drink,then told saliyanti too that alicia had the same problem as me.
but we still went,then i was eating chocolate when we were walking there,
but when we reached there,
i felt something,something weird.
then i kept staring at the thing,but i couldnt see it,i saw somethings.

then i kept quiet.
then they were finding a path to enter the "so called forest".
then i just kept quiet.
then i saw something else.i told liyun.
so the sallehan[?] aka Daz,took a video & he saw a white figure.
then he showed saliyanti,alicia went to look too.
so i told her to not look.
then we sat down,chatted & it was like super funny.

then saliyanti & iskandar went & found the path.
then we all went there but there was a black dog,
& it kept looking at saliyanti,iskandar,isaac & daz & the path to the "forest".
then it kept doing the same thing & kept barking at them.
then when they went up,
i looked at the dog & it didnt bark & its tail was wagging.
it seemed so friendly towards me.
then it went off with its owner.

so i was ridiculed about everything that happened.
so me,liyun & alicia stood there.
& we 3 had something,
alicia's & liyun's stomach was pain,while mine was the bone of the ribcage.
so when the 4 of them went up,
saliyanti saw something & she told the rest to back up.

so we walked to a coffee shop near westmall.
then i was like feeling super hungry so i asked liyun to accompany me to get some food & drinks.
then went to cheers & got some stuff then went to the coffee shop & sat down.
then after awhile we went our ways.

reached home,was freaked out by some stuff.
then was like.....nevermind.

anyway,
today,
woke up & had a bad stomach ache,somehow.
then drank hot milk,didnt cure.
but still went to meet liyun.
took 187 to jurong west,then went to eat.
then took 335 to Yuhua secondary.saw liza,so happy again.

then was joking about throwing eggs.
then saw their fall-in,so PERFECT.
unlike hillgrove band,so IMPERFECT.
ok,then saw them march in & play at the same time.
cool beans.

then waited,i thought i would hear LIZA MARIE,promoting from private to lance coporal.
but,her name wasnt anounced.
in the end,VALERIE OH,was promoted to an assistant DRUM MAJOR.
Congratulations.

anyways,after the march pass,
went to find liza.knew it.
she cried.
told her,ranking/position doesnt mattereven her mum said it.
as long as you enjoyed yourself,thats the best.

then went up for the concert performance.
heard them play,was like WOW.
then got 10 french horn players.TEN.wow...
then got secondary 1 students solo.
was like super cool.

anyway,after that,
asked liyun help us[me,liza,valerie] to take a photo.
took & walked back to the hairdressing shop to get the contact number.
then went to the coffee shop that we had our lunch at.
then i ate again.

then took 187 back to bukit batok but saw our school the security guard uncle,said hello & goodbye to him.
then got down & walked home.

you stupid blahblahblah.
all i can say is,THANKS ALOT for breaking my heart.
shitass,was heartbroken once,now again.
argh...
forget it.
NO MOOD to talk about it anymore.

No stories today,quite tired.
-.-
song from choir:

Days Of Quiet Joy
When I dream of happier days.
When the sun breaks high above the clouds.
Bright golden rays flow down upon the earth.
And when i walk with you,I think of sun-filled days of quiet joy.
For the sun shines down upon the earth in joy & happiness.
All the blue birds sings in praise of new found life.

When I sing a song of peace.
Gentle winds blow through the forest pure.
Gentle winds blow through the forest pure.
And when I walk with you,
I think of peaceful days of quiet joy.
In the garden grows new flowers fresh & true.
All the blossoms burst in colourful display of life.

When I sing of happier days.
Of the golden peace to be found.
I remember sun-filled days of quiet joy.
When I dream,
When I walk,
When I sing of happier days.

A very very very meaningful song.
singing it with feelings,i could feel the presence in me.
its like...wow....
I soooooo love this song!!

went for choir today,it was miss xuan.
then we sang dandansoy,days of quiet joy & can you hear me.
walked to the bus stop,then saw denise.pei her wait for her bus.
saw MISS LEO?but after that,msg-ed to comfirm.
after that,me & nora went out to westmall.
was having headache already,then went home online/sleep.

no job,no nothing.
i suppose i should study at home.
like what i said,i will beat shermane in every subject,including chinese!!
i will try my best!!

i really wished that we could be friends again.
but its too late for regrets.
its too late to take my words back.
thinking about you at times,really makes me sad.
i thought about it,i wondered why.
not a second chance...
its life still,i suppose.
i still have to move on & not rot there.
well,if you need help then find me,i'll still be willing to help.

My True Life Story
Since young,i was active & tough,especially in sports & asthetics.
well,what can you say when I bit someone's hand when I was in kindergarden.
From kindergarden to primary school,
I didn't have a choice but my grandparents insisted that i go to an all-girls' school.
Morever my relatives,my cousins & my mum were all from the same school.

Marymount Convent,one of he top disciplined school was I in.
we had to behave like "Ladies Of Grace" & of course follow our scholl values,LIGHT.
L-Love,I-Integrity,G-Grace,H-Happiness,T-Trust.
Five values wasn't easy to cope with as it had to be displayed in different ways,
but what was worse was that the dicipline level was high!

Well,skirts were super long,socks were super high,hair were all fringed up & neat,respect was to be given to every single teacher in school,vulgarities were all banned,punctuality was essential,singing of the school song was a must.

That's how i survived for six whole years,not learning any bad stuff,except when I was in primary three to five.
Everything went wrong but I thought it was right.

In primary three,I started lying,cheating on homeworks.
In primary four,I mixed around with the wrong person,
so we,as in me & that person,started skipping lessons,lying,cheating in tests & we strated it with Social Studies.
But all soon went worse when the teacher called my grandmother complaining that I ha skipped her remedial lesson.
In primary five,I was rebellious & refused to do homeworks at certain time,
cutting the leaves from the banana tree,cheating in more tests,failing my first language,English.
But the teachers refused to give up on me & I just totally ignored their advices,
even though they helped me to pass my failing subjects.
In primary six,during the first half of the most important year,I totally did not improve in my studies & slacked alot.
but my teacher really did not give up on me.
She organised tuitions at her home,treated us,guided us & chatted with us.
It was only during the secong half of that important year that I caught up,
learned & studied harder.

During the examinations,my teacher prayed hard.
She knew I was not good in my Mathematics & Mother Tongue.
But she had total faith in me & I was encouraged to do better.
I knew it was all in my hands.

I tried hard,answering every questions that i could & could not.
my hard work was paid off,but i wasn't satisfied with the results.
I went to a corner & cried,but somehow my best friend told my teacher & she came running towards me.
Looking at my results,she exclaimed,"Wow,claudia,I'm so proud of you!You got a B for Math!"
then she hugged me & whispered in my ears,"Don't cry claudia.You are special in my eyes & God is with you always.Be happy for whatever you have."
I continued ignoring & just cry.

Being in a all-girl school for six years of my education makes me feel weird around guys.
but it was so shocking that after getting my PSLE results,I was admitted to Hillgrove Secondary School,my fourth choice.
I appealed for transfer to CHIJ St.Teresa's Convent but it failed.
No choice do I have except to just bear with having guys around.

The first few days in Hillgrove was quite quiet.
well,being in 2A1 was quite fine with me,but it got worse when we sabotaged a guy who was not responsibe,to be the chairman.
It was really bad,when the guys played monkey with our pencil cases & spoiled the windows & doors.

Well,i was the so called "hero",trying to stop & forcing the guys to return the pencil cases.
no choice,i had to suffer the consequences after forcing them.
The teachers didn't helped much,only mdm lee did.
well,i should call her my "Heroine".

Mixing with the wrong people,i was influenced to do the wrong thing,
slashing myself.
Well,to admit,i did have a stead,but we broke up because we agreed that we could not be together,under some circumstances.

At the beginning of this year,I met some nice people.
Practically,they changed my entire life.
If i could,i would thank these people,but even a thousand "thank you" would not express my gratitude towards them.

The slashing stopped,vulgarities almost stopped.
Thoughts of piercing ear,tongue,nose were forced to stop.
i thought i would be happy being with them...
but soon my happiness disappeared...

I was lonely then,since beginning of the year but not so when only one person was with me all the while?
I was backstabbed,insulted,bullied & confused.
I did not know who to trust...
Councillor stuff & duty stresses me up,my brain were dead tired at times.
I lost my temper,got angry easily,i really did not know what to do.

I hated that particular person for doing those to me.
at times i wished i could just kill her.
but well,no,i did not.
accepting it normally,ignoring it like...
Dropping in my studies this year,i became crazy over studying.
staying back everyday to study & to get my position back.

I never knew that that particular friendship was derioting.
but somehow,i felt it.
The bond between us,the promises we made,was all gone into the drain.
I was totally depressed,but suddenly,something made me feel better.
Though everything between us was gone,my studies improved loads.

Many at times,i felt like quitting my position as a councillor.
but someone said that it would be good for JC.
well,maybe im not quitting.
Getting my results back,i was over the moon when i knew i was placed third in class.
I was quite happy but sad as i did not managed to go to express,even though i could.
Somehow,people still say express is harder.

Another happy day on the 4th of november,
was when we knew which class we were going to.
well,i managed to go to the A Math class.
happy but sad,that wong was in the same class too.

Ignored her,i went on.
now in life,i seriously have no fixed mind of my own.
A wave of feelings & emotions am i made up with.
Random eelings & emotions do i have,at different times.

Now i know that no matter what happens,we still have to carry on with our lives.
Regardless of loing your best friend or what,our lives are 10000 times more worth.
Some friends treat you differently,others dont.
but after all,what maters most is the heart.

I have nothing else to say.
Adios' people!

My GREEN Spectacles!!

My Spectacle set[GREEN box,GREEN clothe,GREEN spec]

well,probably im too greeny.
but I LOVE green!it rocks my world!
nvm,tat was random.

anw,today woke up,online-ed.
chatted with peeps,then had a shower,went to get some stuff for ah ma,then met up with a human penguin[the live version].
haha.
got my spectacles & then hopped on train to gombak.
ate bee hoon goreng,then did homework at mac.
was ok lah,but really was quite stupid to forgot my math. -.-

walked to the bus stop as we parted & i waited for the bus.
