Yes right it has been one week. And i had gone through my changed life for 1 week too.
Ok waking up at 5 am is easy, but to keep my concentration to the lecturer in school is difficult, since i dun get enough sleep due to the huge number of homework i have :/
Anyway all the teachers are GREAT compared to last year haha.
But great teachers are always accompanied by no slacking bcoz you are required to do all the tutorials. I dun mind though. as long as i get efficient teacher and can learn to my maximum capacity. Since this is JC2, which requires mugging. Yes mugging.
Talk abt mugging. Next week = maths revision test of all topics in JC1. Yes. The school is trying to kill us. Lol.
I have already not enough time and yet still giving so many test. Must grab any time that i m free to do revision. like now.
Off to practice Sequences and series.

busy
After the flag raising, we have a bio test. The bio test... ermmm... was generally... okay la. should be able to pass, not aiming for high marks though.
Then good news, my maths teacher changed to mr ken yeow. Yes the one who manage all the CS list and everything. the discipline master. wheeeee. lol. at least he cares about all the tutorials unlike my maths tutor last year.
CT tutor oso changed. Another good news. No more you know who xD CT tutor is our GP tutor as well, and she is mdm madihah. haha.
Now left with dunno who is my new bio teacher, and econs teacher, since my econ class is now joined with 70. haha.
Ok looking forward to tml's GP lesson since i guess we are not doing work. (Apparently i havent do my gp hw. whee)
Yep. okay. some reading before i sleep. nites xD
The first day of year 2008, 3 ppl staying at home (me my bro and my bro's wife) just don't get their sleep very well. I slp at 1130 pm, woke up and woke up at 230 am and can't fall asleep until 3+ am. My bro's wife woke up at around 2 am and cant fall asleep until 4am. my brother not sleeping very good.

Quote the last lecturer of bio on the last bio lecture in 2007:
Next year first day will be a test for Genetic viruses and Bacteria. Please go back and study.
End of quote
And yesterday i check smb...
Quoting SMB:
Dear H2 bio student,
..... There will be a Bio review paper at 830am on wednesday for all H2 bio students.
End of Quote
WTH. review paper = all topics.
Dear teachers.. Do you guys know that thats a 12 (or 13) topic difference in terms of content? And you expect us to finish reading it within 1 day? For goodness sake holiday is for relaxation not for mugging.
Yes. I am only done with 4 topics now. Thats 1/3 of all. Well done me.
Get ready to be gg-ed tomorrow.
15 minutes more to my sleeping time. How much can I study? I wonder.
- Mood:
irritated
Lol.
Anyway, These few days is Homework homework and homework. The last day of the year 2007 i went out to play para. 2 times of velfare07 kills my arm oredi. haha. That song is just imba fast and difficult. Lol.
After para-ing I go and do maths. Still left with 6 question for maths. going to do tomorrow zzz.
The school is re-opening in 24 hours. Some weird feelings about the holiday. It just so seems that i didn't do anything in the holiday other than performing and singing with the TAS Yv people. Haha.
Why the school haven't give me time table... I want to know whether wednesday got bio lecture or not... so that i can decide whether to study bio immediately tomorrow without disturbance or whether I have more time to study bio...
And is there CCA on the first day of school?
Soooo many questions running through my head for the new school year at JC2 level... zzzz. Stupid bio test and maths test. but too bad still have to do it. Lol.
Guess next year will be a mugging year for me. No more slacking around. Only mugging, managing and helping in TAS and teaching the new JC1 junior who came to the Bridge club on how to play bridge.
How I wish TAS Yv = school. I will be looking forward to go to school everyday if TAS is school. Lol.
ZZ school reopening...... Should get somebody to monitor me so that i don't slack too much. xD
Yep. Wish everyone in TAS Yv '07 and all my friends and all peeps reading this blog a Happy New Year and all the best for all your future endeavor =)
Time to sum up what happened these few days... Whee
Ok. 26/12: Christmas / EOY lunch for TAS Yv '07
Early in the morning... Had A fight with my mum. Imagine early in the morning u just woke up, and then your mum come and visit you from Malaysia, but the first sentence she said to you is something like this
" You deserve it. Everytime ask you to drink water dun wan to drink, in the end drink so many liang teh"
" Ask you do to something oso never do. You no use oredi lah"
Gahh. Din even give me a chance to explain myself. Spoiled my first half of the day. Crapp.
Was suppose to go to ICA to settle some stuff, but due to the lack of time, I go to TAPAC straight away after I had my breakfast.
Went to TAPAC with all the gifts, and after I put down my stuff and listen to the recordings of the UFM 100.3 interview on our TAS Yv for awhile, all boys are asked to go downstairs to break... a Wooden stage. Lol. The wooden stage make us sacrified a Hammer, and then done breaking the stage with our own leg/hand/body weight. Lol.
Had a long walk to our lunch venue at Chinatown Point, and had a Indian buffet lunch. The curry was soooooooooo nice... I like the curry. After our lunch and Gift exchange and giving away present, Here comes the award Ceremony. Let me list down all the awards:
Most Hardworking Singer : Boon Wei (ME YAYY xD)
Best performer: Cindy / Yohannis
Best Emcee: Cindy
Best Solo: Yohannis
Best newcomer: Salima
Best Vocal Percussionist: Christopher
Most RA: Willie
Loudest Burper: Cindy
Most untidy singer: Christopher
Most Latecoming singer: Cindy & Arif
Worst Jokes: Yohannis
Haha. Congratulation to all the award winners above be it good or bad xD
After the lunch itself, me, Colin, Sali, Azri and Willie went to watch "I am Legend". Lol. The movie itself... ok.
Colin: Its very frightening at some point of the show. Almost give me an heart attack.
Sali: Quite scare in some point of show.
Me: ... *speechless*
I am officially immune to these scary movies whereby in the end a small thing happens and restore the peace to the whole world again. I mean. The ending of the movie is already expected by me... No fun watching it anymore. Lol. The only part where i found the movie is good is the time where Samantha ( Will's Smith dog) get infected by the virus and Will Smith need to kill the dog himself. That part really touched me. But anyway. After the movie itself we went to had dinner, shopped around and went home.
Thanks for all the gifts =)
Concluding the 26/12.
27/12. Madness Night.
In the day. Went to ICA to settle my student pass stuff. And then went back home without doing anything outside. Stupid right. But in anycase I am tired and once i reach home I take a small nap. lol
At night. What I done is... finish watching D Gray.Man manga online till the latest chapter. Lol. Shall not spoil those who buying real manga. xD But what I can say is... Allen is imba. yes. haha
Here's the fun part. When I was watching manga while talking to Sali at the same time, suddenly a new convo tab is opened, and i saw inside. Whoo all the TAS ppl. haha. Guess we can't even stand a day without talking to each other eh. The convo itself is quite stupid, no content at all, Colin was lost all the while, and I am like. Oh well, talking crap with them as well.
Then. At around 12 am. Yohannis chat to me in another window, ask me to call Sali, want to phone conference. Haha.
And guess what. I call in, and more and more ppl are added into the conference. Me, Sali, Yohannis, Colin, Mandy, Jeremy, Willie, Rachel, Melo, Chris (appear for awhile beatboxing) (sorry if i missed out anyone, bcoz these people are actually those talkied in the conference), and again the conference is without content at first, until later part where we start discussing on our plan on Saturday, which is today, and about the countdown gathering of TAS Yv at 31/12. Haha.
For the first time in my life, I actually called somebody(ies) for 70 minutes. lol. Thats the end of 27/12, and coming to 28/12
28/12: Mugging Day.
Woke up at 1130 am, and went to eat lunch. After I am back to home from lunch. Guess what. I actually sit on the chair, and start doing homework.
List of Homework:
2 Econs Essay (O)
2 Econs Case studies (X)
18 question of chem (o)
27 question of maths (X) Reason: I don't even have the question paper :/
8 question of bio (o)
GP. (Dao-ing)
Lol. Legend:
O : fully done
o: mostly done, skipping those i dunno how to do
X: haven't even touch.
But it is quite surprising that I can actually complete so many homework in one day! lol. I actually sit in front of the com and my table doing homework since 12pm to 12 am. Lol.
You guys must think that I am mad man. I think I am mad too. But considering the time I have left for all these homework, ok. 5 days to School reopen, - 28/12 = 4 days, - Saturday TAS Yv rehearsal + outing = 3 days, and - 31/12 for TAS countdown gathering. OMG I am left with 2 days. lol. So. Yeah. Sometimes under desperation people can do what they won't do normally. This is seriously the second time i sat there and do hw / mugging for more than 10 hours in a day.
Completed A Holly Jolly Christmas NWC and had it uploaded onto the Yahoo Group. Second NWC completed by me. Those interested check that out. Haha. (That is 1 hour out of the 12 hour i sat in front of the table and doing work, but still. This 1 hour is sort of relaxation from all the words. Instead, I look at music notes =P)
Yes and thats the end of 28/12. Upcoming, 29/12 which is today. Seriously wish that 1 pm come faster so that I can go to TAPAC and meet you all again =) Thats all. Signing off. =)
P/S: To Colin if you are watching: I am wearing the new shirt that you and Yohannis buy for me tomorrow =) haha.
- Mood:
surprised
I think. TAS Yv is getting more and more important in my life... xD Now i sort of... cannot part with the singing and rehearsing... TAS Yv seriously brings much joy into my life, and I will never regret joining TAS Yv. =)
Spent 4 hours writing the cards and finally done + the 5 hours spent on cutting the cards and making the heart shape. Wow. Its kinda amazing that i actually spend 9 hours without knowing on the cards itself without a single rant. Maybe the love of TAS Yv represses every rants i have =)
<3 TAS Yv.
Anyway, my estimation is very accurate. Because after i do the first card, i told Jeremy Tan that I am going to spend 4 hours on it., and indeed i spent 4 hours. lol. In any case, to all TAS Yv people out there reading this journal, I want to say sorry if you think my gift wrapping skills is cmi, because my gift wrapping skills is indeed not very good. Anyway, hope you guys like the prezzie i prepared for you =)
Anyway, Yeah. Last performance at SDC. Still the same standard i think, not very good, but not too bad either. Have better lunch than yesterday, though xD How I wish there are more performances and the school isn't coming any time soon... Come to think of it, first bio lecture = bio test and term 1 week 3 = maths revision test and I haven't do anything about them yet X.X Who come and help me :/
Sali probably still messing with the gifts and cards she bought for the TAS Yv, as like... she today afternoon still buying stuff. lol Jia you =) And remember to take care of yourself... =) even though there isn't any more performances coming up but still drink tonnes of water and slp earlier ok =)
Am going to miss these performance days, and am going to miss those people who are leaving TAS Yv after tomorrow... Junkai, Josephine, Joshua... Thanks Junkai for managing and administrating all the performances we had once you come back to TAS Yv, and thanks Josephine and Joshua for singing together with us this Christmas season and enjoyed singing with you =) Hope will see you guys next year at TAS Yv again =)
Four bags of Christmas presents going to be carried around tomorrow. I think i seriously should go to TAPAC, drop my things there and then I go to ICA to settle my stuff.
Anyway. I think i should go and sleep earlier especially I need to wake up quite early tomorrow also to settle the ICA stuff. bleah.
P/S: I WANT TO FORM A SINGING TEAM... Who's interested xD (I only know melo is interested up till date xD)
Merry Christmas to all the TAS Youth Voices Admins & Singers!!!!!
Merry Christmas to all the people who are reading my LJ!!!!!
I wish you a merry christmas
I wish you a merry christmas
I wish you a merry christmas
And a happy new year =P
Whee.
For all those TAS Yv singers who still have the last performance today (P1 and P2 people) Good luck to your last performance and of course enjoy the performances as this will be the last performance for our Christmas Caroling Session in Year 2007 =)
Go TAS Yv =)
P/S: Sleeping time =) If I still sleep at 3 am today tomorrow I am going to be very tired xD so no way. Because when my tiredness reach a certain level, I will not be happy and I will tend to ignore a lot of conversation, and I will dao a lot of people. So to prevent any of the above happening, I decide to sleep now. nites =)
Anyway, for the performance wise... Nothing much to comment about since the standard is still there, not exceptionally well but not too bad either. One thing to comment. SDC food... cmi. 1 more performance to go for me... Tomorrow at SDC... (again. hope food is better).
Performances left: 1
Estimated performing pay: $430. (about 40% of what Yohannis got for her pay this month haha)
As I said. The important thing is not the performances... Haha. The important thing now is the prezzie for the TAS Yv singers...
Yep. Well done me. I finish wrapping all of them up. But I still got a long way to go... CARDS!!! And ZZ I haven't buy any glue yet... Y do i need glue? go and guess yourself =P
These few days are tiring me out man. Haha. Running here and there to get presents and performances... Feel very sleepy right now. But still, since now is 12 minutes to Christmas, I shall stay up for that 12 minutes and go to sleep. Haha.
Looking forward to the 26 December, where TAS Yv has their Christmas / End of Year Gathering lunch. =) Who will be the three. =P
Before I go to the power-saving mode, I shall comment on the efficiency of ICA Customer feedback service. I send a email last sunday, and the ICA website says within 5 working days I will get the reply... 5 working days... = last friday? and today is monday :/ Low effiency. But never mind.
Yep. I shall go into power-saving mode again. =P
P/S: Mehh. I am tired... 5 more minutes =P
Anyway, sorry to all those singers who performed at Tampines Mall yesterday morning (since now is 23/12 haha) especially sali, bcoz i said that i will go down and watch you all perform but in the end i overslept bcoz i nvr hear my alarm clock ringing :/ In the end i woke up at like 10 am...
Yep. Went shopping before I go for my rehearsal for the private function at Woodlands. Bought the gifts for the girls already... But boys... :/ I seriously dunno what to buy. Any suggestion :/
When I reach TAPAC, other singers are rehearsing for their charity show at Golden Hope Aged Home, while our team are there to rehearse for our private function. Lol. We sing... 4 more songs than them. Haha. Anyway, Cindy was there training the charity show singers when i reached TAPAC, then we chat awhile, teach Jeremy tenor line of Jingle bells, and rehearse our repertoire. And then we go to our destination through cab...
The cab price... increased by a lot after the increment of price for taxi fare... WTH from TAPAC to the gorgeous house that we are performing at costs 27 bucks -.- I never ride a taxi that ex before :/ Yeah, anyway, the house is... IMBA big, and imba gorgeous. The owner of the house is a CEO of some big Oil company that most probably he is a billionaire >.< I just met a rich man....... We were then taken to their home theater at basement for our rehearsals if needed, and then the kids that were performing with us are like playing with us in that room. They even ask for autographs from us and call us idols O.o The room is freezing though. Haha.
When we are going for sound check, it rained >.< And then part of the electricity of the house is cut off because of certain wire fused. (I am not very good at electric stuff), and then for the first set of our performance we have to sing without mic.
After first set of performance, we went back down to the basement for our dinner =) Hungry Hungry. =P And then one of the performing kids, Amy, keep running back and forth helping 8 of us to get ice-creams. I think she like Cindy a lot haha.
GOOD NEWS! The electricity is back by the time we were going to perform our second set! Then I can be heard =P Haha. Because I seriously wonder how people are going to hear me when I am not equipped with mic, because my voice is very low as compared to other singers in the team. We continued with second set, and then went down again to have more food =P Whee. And the performance... so far so good =P
Then the third set as well. No problems, and then we sang "Season of Love" with the kids performers. The kids are lovely and cute haha.
Generally, the performance is ok and do not have any serious mistake. So its a good thing =)
After our performance, we get back to the basement. In the house there are helium filled balloons, and then Chris play with the helium... His voice changed until very comical and hilarious after he breath in the helium gas and sing "Lonely" by Akon. It just sound very alike with the song. Haha. Everybody else tried and we have a lot of laughter there. I never know helium gas is so fun to play with =P Haha. Some of the singers even bring back some helium balloon to play the "Voice changing technique" at home. Haha.
After that we packed up and plan to leave. The owner of the house and then ask his driver to send our mixer and some people back to their home, and then give us $400 for Cab fares. Yes you never see wrongly. its not $40, its $400. We were like. WTH he is freaking rich. Jeremy Ho, our manager ask him that whether these $400 is included in the performance pay, and he says "No I am going to pay you all again for the performance." OMG He is really rich. While waiting for our cab to come, Amy's mum actually ask us about the TAS, and Sali surprisingly take out a namecard from TAS from her wallet and gave it to Amy's mum. I was like O.o Where the heck does the namecard come from. But thats not the important point. The important point is that this is brilliant. Carrying TAS namecard wherever we go to perform, and if got people come and ask us about TAS we can simply advertise ourselves through the namecard =) Brilliant. I am going to take some namecard next time I am at TAPAC. And the TAS website. Going to revamp it to make it look nicer. Especially now i think a lot of people will actually look at the website if we start distributing TAS namecard.
Later when me, Sali, Jeremy Tan and Jeremy Ho are in the cab, JHo called Junkai and Angie and like saying in that OMG tone about the extra $400 cab fare... I wonder how much $ will him pay for our performance lah. OMG.
P/S: Yeah Before we left, we actually ate some of the chocolates that provided by the caterer for their dinner, and the chocolates are DAMN nice.... I <3 Chocolates =P And its 3 AM again. haha. 3 am is a good time to slp =) Nites.
