emo, emo day for me. it started from the rehearsal at SCH. i kept screwing up at my favourite part, and mr tay was clearly super disappointed. i was like so freaking scared whenever we began playing chun. i was shaking like a chicken, if anyone noticed. lol. yes and i kept screwing up. and i was kinda stressed. haha after a while i started tear-ing on stage. it's really easy to just change. but mr tay went, "suyin, ni ke yi zuo dao de." and i felt sooooooo touched. it's RARE to find such a conductor, seriously. reminds me of the time when he was talking to me about the china trip. his words really have an impact on me man. haha but anyway, halfway through the rehearsal, i suddenly thought of dunman high. and i started feeling EMO. yeah.


they showed us a video of the 04/05 batch. and i felt emo again. like.. from a slack orchestra to a bonded one.. eventually showcasing such a wonderful performance on stage.. just shows the passion they have for co. oh and seeing mr quek made me miss him too. haha. yep. i thought they did a really good job. we can do it too man! 10 days may not seem very long.. but it's enough to make a difference. it's only 10 days.. let's all CHIONG for a memorable moment on stage! =)


haha. i saw valerie online just now and i told her i'm stressed. and she called me immediately to comfort me. hai.. i'm TOUCHED once more hahaha. yup. something she read to me from the encouragement Bible.


It doesn’t take any special talent to give up, lie down on the side of the road and say, “I quit.” Any unbeliever can do that.

But once you get hold of Jesus or more accurately, He gets hold of you, He begins to pump strength, energy and courage into you and something strange and wonderful begins to happen. He won’t let you quit.

You may say, “Oh Lord, I don’t want to go on anymore." But He won’t let you give up, even if you want to. So keep looking to Jesus and follow His example. When you do, you’ll keep pressing on no matter what comes your way.


i've been soooo complacent. all this while i never really practised for whatever solos i had. all i did was try to play them as nicely, seh-ly and emo-ly as i could and compliments would come. BUT it's different now. this is in a "different league". and as valerie said, this is how i'm gonna improve! I'M GONNA PRESS ON!!!!!!! let's all work hard these 10 days! more practices please! haha.


THANK YOU EVERYONE for the "jia you"s. i will! let's all add oil! =D


thank you (:

night of cold jokes at kfc on friday night, courtesy of handoko and teerapong. lol it was fun! damn hilarious hahaha. we were making quite a lot of noise over there. hopefully kfc doesn't decide to ban vjc students forever. heheh. whee! more co dinners and outings! guanyue outings! =D


dhscogy REUNION DINNER at my house yesterday. haha yes this reunion dinner was supposed to be like 2 months ago. but well, at least we had one. lol. nice to see everyone again! haven't seen them for ages hee. lol it was totally amusing when weicheng told clara that this year's sec 1 batch only has 2 dizis. she totally went nuts and started screaming at weicheng and kee wei. LOL!!!!! very comical sight. hoho.


yay, syf rehearsal at SCH tmr! and we get to leave class at 11am WOOHOO! totally makes my day man. labour day on tues. wooh! it's gonna be a happy 2 days for me! lol.

i went to see the doctor today and after he mentioned that he's a part-time musician, my mum chatted with him for a while and our consultation took like half an hour. LOL. but it's so cool. he told us something about recording different volumes of different drums and incorporating them into a keyboard and when you press a key, a drum sound comes out. oman.. COOL!!!!!!!!! i wanna try that one day! haha.


hoho so i got an MC for today! but i still went to school. for CO and ONLY for CO. i din go for lessons and i woke up at 11am HAHA. yeah it's quite weird that i din make full use of my mc to skip co. but it can't be helped, i just love co SO MUCH LOL!!!!! fiona thinks that i rock and i think so too! dun you all agree? HAHA.


heh i was seriously annoyed by the bell yesterday. i was like ULTRA PISSED. but since i'm in a good mood today i'll just forget about it for now. lol.


whee! went for dinner at parkway after practice with zilu, jolie, wing sum and zongxing. we bought flora's present! hohoho. and jolie's a member of mini toons! how amusing LOL!!!!! =D


yikes. the packets of medicine are intimidating me. lool.

yay just to comfort myself for my "technical glitch" yesterday. yuqian told her friend to spot for me during the concert and she said i looked pro! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah. LOOKED. hahahahaha =P

here's a continuation to yesterday's post. i was too sleepy last night to blog properly. lol. thank you everyone who agreed to come and bought tickets from me!!!!! and thank you suyun, jeenise, rachel, libing, yuchen for the chocolates, yilin and liqin for the postcard and chocolates, and xianghong for the sweets even though she couldn't be there! =D =D =D


HAHA ding laoshi was there yesterday. and he asked me to go to china with cco. lol apparently they're really short of dizi players coz kelvin ho and eugene asked me too and i declined. heheh. i dun wanna sell my life to shicheng! haha and my parents won allow me to go too. hoho.


garh. i'm feeling so miserable today. firstly, my arms ache like anything and can't be straightened due to yesterday's paiwei and moving of instruments. secondly, my throat has been hurting like anything since in the middle of yesterday. thirdly, i'm suffering from after-concert blues as usual, even though it was only one song. fourthly, i'm bored. lastly, there's a boring day of lessons tmr. ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! =(


i just feel like going for CO.

woke up brrrrrrright and early this morning to go to school to move the instruments for the concert. after that, it was paiwei, which was sooo disorganised. haha. my first paiwei! it was so tiring man. but you get to practise walking faster. hoho.


the rehearsal was alright, i din screw up as i thought i would. yeah. the combined set piece practice was okay but it was kinda boring. i was trying hard not to fall asleep hoho.


the concert was rather messy initially, with the music stand glitches and all that. and then serhua's guzheng got wrecked, which resulted in jieying not performing for the guzheng item. (it's okay, next year! =)) it got quite smooth sailing after that. BUT.. i screwed up at the beginning of chun! omg it's like the first time i'm saying this but well, there's a first time to everything and yeah, i screwed up! mr tay was pissed, but that's not the point. THE POINT IS.. i dun normally make mistakes and i actually screwed up for a concert this time. i was sooooooooo sad and disappointed and frustrated and................... ha. COMPLACENCY. haha. hmm, this could actually happen during SYF but it din, it happened during a concert so i should be thankful i guess. and not to find excuses for myself, but since i always screw up during rehearsals and play well during concerts, i'll screw up for this "SYF rehearsal" and perform well for SYF! it's a promise! YEAH!!!!!! =D =D =D thank you everyone for your consoling! hahaha (:


i think the day passed so quickly. we barely actually took part in this concert man. the first time i actually spent so much time paiwei-ing and just performing for one song. haha. nvm, it's better than nth. whee!


i'm actually feeling happy now due to various reasons. haha! yeah man we're gonna do so well for SYF! YAY!!!!!!

LOL!!!!!

i've been staying back in school till quite late for the past few days for paiwei practices. i guess i finally get to experience the tough lives of the paiwei ppl. lol. throughout my 4 years in dhs, i never paiwei-ed before. so now i know how frustrsting it is! lol.


wooh we were dismissed at 11am today! thanks to the achievements of the sports CCAs. haha! i was initially esctatic coz by being dismissed so early, we got to miss bio prac! but in the end, the very kind-hearted mrs lim shifted it to after our PE, so off we went very unwillingly after some clean-the-floor-with-our-shirts exercises. i was pissed off man. LOL.


our PW groupings were out today! huijin and i felt that it was really unfair. but well.. here's my group! jiexin, huijin, melissa, mark. LET'S GET THAT A MAN!!!!!!! LOL huijin was warning me that i'd better not slack or she'd throw me off the building. HAHA.


OMG i realise i have to see mrs lim tmr. garh, pity me, please. BUT at the very least.. there's CO tmr! YAY!!!!! =D let's all do our best for the concert! WHEE!

there was the principal-parents session yesterday and it was hell boring. i bet they asked the J1s to go for the sole purpose of helping to carry the chairs back to the classrooms. the principal was addressing the parents nearly all the time. look around and you'll see the J1s doing their own stuff. i was listening to music and eating. and i'm glad my parents weren't there, or they'll have lots of complaints thrown to them. lol.


woots yesterday's co practice was probably the best one i had in a long time. MR TAY!!!!!!! hahahahaha. ahhhh. i conclude that i'm a timorous individual LOL. time to work on the ends of my notes. yikes.


omg i got into exco! i'm still a little incredulous about being the guanyue SL but jolie says it's for real so i guess it is. haha. quoting our fetch bio rep, "that's so fetch!" lol. i thought the announcement's reeeeeally early. but rest assured.. I WILL DO MY BEST!!!! MUAHAHA.


i listened to bedok south's CO SYF recording just now. and i realise their dizis yin se is INCREDIBLY GOOD. oman. i was quite stunned when i heard the bangdi solo for liangfeng. the yin se was sooooooooo good! it was a pity he/she went totally flat for the first note. otherwise.. I LOVE THE YIN SE!!!!!!!! hahaha.


i've been feeling happy these few days coz i managed to sell 5 of my tickets!!!! YEAH!!!!!! ain't i soooooo great! MY JUNIORS ARE GREAT TOO!!!!!! =D =D =D


argh there's a chem lecture test tmr and i know nuts about what we've covered so far. and i'm not doing ath about it omg i'm just digging my own grave ahhhhhhh!


yonghong called me just now to inform me about paiwei practice tmr, starting from 5pm. know what that means? byebye to my 4-hour nap sobx..... =( lol.

i got back my bio test and it wasn't good. in fact, it was a disaster (duh!) lol. but i was expecting it, so i din care as usual. haha. yeah, off i went to see mrs lim just now for a 40-min "pep talk" session. in the midst of it, cephia walked past and when she saw mrs lim talking to me, she laughed so loudly that she made me laugh as well. i was trying to keep a straight face while mrs was talking to me. lol. ah i'm supposed to see her again next week. and the week after next. man, i'm sure it's gonna be perpetual. lol.


ooh i had my exco speech/interview yesterday, and i conclude that i should never give impromptu speeches again LOL.


during assembly this morning, the teacher was announcing the classes that had to carry the chairs from the classrooms to the hall for tmr's parents whatever session. audrey and i were praying that we wouldn't have to move them, coz we were all the way up at V45. in the end, we did have to move, unfortunately. lol. and it was so spastic. on the way, i was thinking of ways to look dignified while carrying a chair. so sharon and i experimented with different ways of holding the chair such that we dun look stupid holding just ONE chair. we came to a conclusion that the chair should be held in one hand, so that everything looks effortless, and we get to enjoy a dignified image. LOL!!!! it was amusing man. haha.


argh! michelle got voted off survivor! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! ='(


ahh. i still have the combined co concert tickets to sell. heh. i wasn't gonna sell them to ppl who behave like i have to BEG them to go (NO FREAKING WAY, i'm not a professional beggar. you want it, you get it. you dun want it, it's your loss HOHO). erm yeah my 4 was down to 0 (of course it was) haha. but i feel so pro coz within a few hours tonight, i sold 3! thanks to my GREATEST DIZI JUNIORS EVER!!!!! suyun, yuchen and jeenise are going!!!! AHHH LOVE MY JUNIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm still gonna get more ppl to go. await my good news man! yay! lolol.


oh yes i gotta comment on practices this week. they weren't too bad, coz of the great mr tay! his conducting really brings out the feelings man! there's just sth about his conducting which sets him apart from the other conductors (and even further apart from wxz). "meticulous, precise and sensitive, yet graceful and refined" is a very apt phrase. haha. mr tay saves the day! whee!


haha! i'm talking to chengfeng now. it's been AGES since i last seen her and talked to her! she has apparently quit tjco and they're asking her back in. lol. yep, we're currently reminiscing our past in dhsco and feeling so nostalgic. haha! ahhhh. dhsco. those memories...........


Don't play and hope for a miracle
Play and MAKE the miracle


^ i love this and it's gonna be dedicated to vjco! lol.

i received two birthday presents today! whee! THANK YOU melissa and jooyeng for the lime green and orange socks and VALERIE for the lime green watch and letter which made me tear (HAHA)! =D =D =D yeah man my birthday is still ongoing so do feel free to pass me my belated gifts and wishes! LOL.


omg! i'm so not looking forward to bio tmr. hopefully my test paper flew into the drain or got caught on a branch or sth. argh!


hai. uchenna and joyce were eliminated in the amazing race. i almost cried =(


i love mondays coz i get my 4-hour naps! =)


31 days to SYF! GO VJCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i thought i'd update a little on the shicheng concert last week. it went pretty well! i was initially really worried but everything was fine in the end. whee! and.. i performed alongside zhan yong ming the PRO dizi player! they got him to perform coz zheng laoshi was hospitalised =( (hope he gets well soon!) and he taught dunman high before, long ago. hoho. guan laoshi asked if i was pressurised. oman.. of course! NOT! lol.


did i mention i got pranked on april fools'? yeah, i did. thanks to my greatest buddies JINCI AND JINGHAN. it went sth like this. they said they were angry with me for always putting things off. i apologised, coz i thought that was rather true, though not very true lol. yeah it went on, jinghan asking me what i was gonna do about it. i was frantically trying to think of an explanation when all of a sudden.. HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S!!!!!! my goodness! LOL!!!! yes i was extra cautious for the rest of the day. haha!


this was a short week at school. due to ponning school on mon, and today being GOOD FRIDAY! hoho. oh. i'm one hundred and one percent getting a ZERO for my bio test. argh, i so dun wanna attend bio tutorial on tues! i wonder what mrs lim will do. she can do anything.. just dun call up my parents! hehe. i see myself being black-listed even further. heheh. lol yesterday's bio practical was amusing. the rag caught fire! LOL. hoho mrs lim was going on and on about handing in our practical THAT DAY. "esp ruth ah, coz i know if you dun hand in today, i'll likely never to see it again." LOL so true. anyway, i did hand it in, do compliment me for my effort HAHA.


i feel really insulted sometimes. but i'm not gonna feel daunted coz i know i actually have the ability and my life is my own! never doubt your capabilities just coz a few ppl doubt you! =D =D =D 4 years in dhsco plus being a comm member has really made me more positive. so everyone should stay positive too! yay! (:


save me. there's still 2 more hours to survivor and i'm so absolutely bored now YAWN........

"a moment like this, some ppl wait a lifetime, for a moment like this". so we got our moment, and once again, DHSCO TRIUMPHED!!!! muahaha. to all the juniors.. i am very, very, very, VERY PROUD OF ALL OF YOU!!!!! and so are the rest of the seniors and the teachers and everyone! wooh! dhsco rocks man!!!


yep. a number of seniors were at SCH bright and early too help out. we went to take a look at their practice and i was helping the juniors with the di mos due to the absence of zheng laoshi. hopefully they were good lol. yup while listening to them practise a final time, i felt really, really touched. it's evident the effort the juniors have put in. all for that few minutes on stage. and they do it not coz they're FORCED to do so by a dagger or a gun. i know they do it willingly! guanyue actually went back to school to practise yesterday, all the way at buona vista, climbing the gate and stuff to get in. oman. yes i feel really touched!


when it was dhsco's turn, the seniors were all in the hall anticipating their performance. yep, obviously, they did very well! my hair was all standing lol. and that's what sets dhsco apart from the rest. it's the way they move TO THE MUSIC, and that feeling they possess. the ability to touch the audience! yeah i was sort of tear-ing over there. coz it brought back memories of 2 years ago, when we were on that stage. time flies. 2 years later, our juniors are up there, and we are there giving them our utmost support. i recall 2 years back, i was as usual, touched by our performance. and straight away after we'd performed, i actually cried! haha. i wonder if anyone was like me this year. hoho. but anyway, yeah. DHSCO REALLY ROCKED!!!!!!


oh i heard that the juniors weren't as esctatic as we were 2 years back. dun worry about the ranking, guys! you all gave your very best and that's what's most important. the seniors probably told you before that that you all couldn't make it. well, we received that from our seniors too. but you guys still made it in the end, and it's everyone's effort! so do CELEBRATE this unforgettable moment! i gotta say it again, i'm proud of all of you! the dhsco legend has continued and WILL continue..........................................


ooh i'm feeling emo now............ really touched by my juniors. haha.


DHSCO! my pride, my love!
