Nicholas Dancing

haha. this is Nicholas dancing in camp on the second night to the music. He's how funny la.

History just repeats itself again and again. After every camp I go to, I lose my voice, I get very very tired and I get very camp-sick...




YES today was the last day of the intermediate camp. A camp that we've been planning for such a long long time. A committee consisting of myself, Cherilyn, Gerald, Jessica, Daniel, Neng Wei(Tin Tin), Sarah, Magdalene, Nicholas(Ah boy boy), Stephanie(Pho or Ah girl girl), Dawn, Ewen and Ziteng. This camp went so much better than I expected even though I wished it was much much organised. But it was still such a fun camp, so sad Cherilyn couldn't join us until talent night but still. I'm sure we had fun.

Day 1
First day of the camp. Always the most exciting part. However, due to a lot of miscommunication, we didn't know how many campers to expect. Even before the camp, we were so disorganised and still have a lot undone. And I must say this. Every camp, there's just one item that can easily distract all the guys and that is that stupid ball. That stupid stupid ball. Once that ball is out, no one can get anything done. So FINALLY we actually went to tekka mall for lunch and to buy any last minute items. Ok, I've to admit, the start of camp was kinda demoralising because only 3 people came,Delicia, Seth and Samuel, so we decided to split the comm. Half would be campers, while the others would be the comm members. So ya, ICE BREAKERS!! It was super fun la. First we started off we the traditional whacko. So when it started to get boring, we played using our chinese names. So for those who can't remember anyone's names, they just used 3 simple names - Ziteng, Ewen and Neng Wei. Yeah. So after that, we tried to get Ziteng to do a forfeit for getting hit so many times, but in the end, Ewen did it. Then we went down to the car park to play minesweeper. Basically the game is that, there is a 5 by 5 gird made out of masking tape on the ground and the game master would have a route for everyone to try figure out. So everyone was to queue up and everyone was to try one by one to figure out the route but everytime someone made a mistake, the group master would throw flour at that person. So it went on and on for 3 different routes. Tin Tin and Dawn did the first route, Gerald and I did the second route and lastly, Tin Tin and Daniel did the last route together. Daniel and Tin Tin are so vicious la. Every time I'm the one trying out the route, they get so excited because most probably they would get to throw flour on me. Very fun to throw flour on me meh? Then we had a group time which was like actually preparation for talent night. Like after a long long time we actually managed to split into 2 groups. Since there was an odd number, I decided to go to join Mag's group, since Sarah and her were the only 2 girls there with like Seth, Gerald, Ziteng, Tin Tin and Daniel. So like poor thing la. Stuck alone with all the crazy people. Half way during group time, my group complained that they were hungry, so I brought them up and took out biscuits, and we just ate and talked about all the irrevalent stuff and soon after, the other group came up and we had bonding game. We tried to play the ding dong game, but we were so so unsuccessful! Everyone just couldn't concentrate on the game. So we played this number game. It's like, if we choose the number 7, for all the multiples of 7 or any number containing the number 7 you must clap. So ya. Played that, then had wash up and had a really really good dinner. After dinner, Aunty Clara and Uncle Jonathan came for a one hour session. It was good and it really taught us a lot. We were divided into 4 groups and within each group we were supposed to appoint a leader. In my group was Gerald, Delicia and Seth. So Seth was appointed our leader and he then went to get instructions on what we were supposed to do. He told us that we were supposed to grab as many balloons and tape as we could and start to build the tallest free stand balloon tower which had to be stable. Ours was crazy la. We had such a steady base with a lot a lot of masking tape. The base could stand any way you wanted it to la. But then we realised that we were the only group whose tower was so low. So we started to build upwards and it was so funny. Cos we just couldn't do it. And soon we ran out of tape. So Seth went to another group to get more. After time was up, even though our tower was like the shortest, it managed to stand. hahah. Everyone else's all fell. hahaha. Then we discovered that we didn't listen to the instructions well enough and could actually have all gotten together a build just one tower instead of four. (You realise after a while that they always do things like this) So then we were given time to build a huge huge tower. HAHA. Then Aunty Clara and Uncle Jonathan started debriefing. Yeah. After that we the night games. (an initially disorganised thing that got better as it went along) The fun part of the night games was actually the planning. During their wash up, we came up with many other crazy ideas on how to scare the campers. But in the end didn't do like most of them. And it was during this planning that Daniel introduced the talking stick. No one was allowed to talk unless they had the talking stick. Which I have to admit was quite good because it actually worked for a while. ok now back to the point. I brought everyone down and that was when Leonard and Valerie joint us. Everyone in their camp t shirts sat around the car park and I started telling them a story. And Nicholas so didn't come in at his cue la. So I was like a weirdo repeating the cue like non stop. Each time going louder and louder. And stupid Seth and Leonard kept on interrupting me. So i started laughing. So Uncle Kai Eng and Kui Luan were like chasing me. Ok. So I tried to round things up since Nicholas didn't scream, I brought them straight to the social hall. Since it was so dark for them to even see what they were supposed to, I had no choice but to on the lights. Over there at the corner was Gerald, and he was in a cloak rocking on the floor as if he was possessed.He was suppose to try to inform them of a murder. But I don't think he said it which led to a bit of confusion. Cos when I said it, it wasn't very clear. And so I handed them all over to Gerald and from there they tried to find out what they were supposed to do. From there, if they did what was planned, Gerald walked away, and then they all hom we thought would be the braver ones were actually scared too. HAHA. Uncle Kai Eng and Kui Luan were so so freaked out! Actually, almost everyone was so scarwent towards Jessica who gave them light sticks and helped them find the clue that Gerald dropped. I went to find the rest to inform them that the game had officially started. Everything was dark, with a lot of tension as everyone was unsure of what to expect. So they started the game in 3 different groups. At first, not everyone was scared. So that was where Nicholas, Gerald and Pho came in. Nicholas went around screaming to add to the tension. Pho was dressed as the dead person which was rather freaky and she just walked around. Gerald did the same as Pho just that he was in a dark cloak and he would just sit in corners scaring people. I didn't get to play, so I ran about, ensuring that everything was ok. It went well la. Some highlights were that people like Dawn and Sarah wed which was something we wanted to get. So that was good. Mag, whom we thought would be scared was actually rather brave. So much contradictions. hahahah. A lot of them actually got scared because of like Gerald. And Daniel was very good. For his station which was at the youth room, he was like in all black and when uncle kai eng group came, they kept on insisting that there was someone behind the door, and I tried to convince them that there was nothing. So Ziteng, Sarah and Delicia didn't dare enter the room and Uncle Kai Eng was waving his lightstick frantically, trying to find out what was behind the door. Then suddenly Daniel slammed the door and stuck his face on the little windows, causing Ziteng to fall back in shock and Sarah and Delicia to scream. hahaha. Uncle Kai Eng was equally as shocked but he was in the room unable to do anything. And when Seth's group came. Gerald was sitting at the entrance with Daniel no where to be found. So they just kept on disturbing Gerald when suddenly, Daniel caused a stack of chairs to just fall. There was this loud crash and Samuel got so freaked out. Then they slowly approached the fallen stack of chairs when they found Daniel and recieved their instructions. After that was just a lot of fun. Then we had a round up and had supper and all. Then some of us played heart attack. Playing next to Gerald and Nicholas is so fun because they open up the cards and I get to choose which one I want even before it reaches me. HAHAH! Uncle Kai Eng always get hit. Everyone just aimed to hit him la. Then after a lot of talking and all, we all finally went to sleep. And before we slept Daniel ensured me that he would wake up early to jog and then wake us all up. So ya, I slept with a sound piece of mind.

Day 2
Daniel so didn't wake up in time. HAHA. Somehow or rather all of us woke up. And I didn't have to wake a lot of them up. So I brought down a packet of 3-in-1 milo and went to collect the breakfast. I made milo together with Jessica and Seth for everyone. So nice of us right. HAHAH. So after breakfast was quiet time and then worship. OH and you know what? Nicholas is actually a very good singer, but just that he likes to sing really high. So high that no one else can sing as high as him. So ya. So then Uncle Augustine came. He gave this 4 hour session on team building. I'm not so bad ok. I made sure we had lunch inbetween in case anyone started to get hungry. So cannot say I torture them. And we started off by playing this rope game. So like we were all supposed to stand behind the rope la. Then with this blind fold on, we were suppose to pick up the rope and form a square. so like, we couldn't la. Our square was just plain ugly and it was nothing like a square. So uncle Augustine gave us more time to like plan and all. Then we tried once again, expecting to have to form a square. But we were so wrong, cos we were supposed to form a star now. So we were like ahhhh!! What are we going to do? so ya, nothing like a star. Then Uncle Augustine was like, you can ask me anything, just remember that both hands have to be on the rope at all times. So I asked him what did he want us to make. and he told us that we had to make a triangle. So we planned accordingly and tried once again. And then we didnt' know but the 3 people who were suppose to be the corners were pulled out of the game and all because no one but me was allowed to talk so no one could indicate that they were missing. Now this time, without the blindfolds, we had to form a circle. ok, so then we had to pair up and all. And because of an odd number, I went with valerie and Delicia. So like we were supposed to choose the more intelligent one in each pair. So only Nicholas was ego enough to say he was the intelligent one. So in each small group the taller one was suppose to call themselves the intelligent one and stretch out his hand and say, hi, i'm the intelligent one. The other one was supposed to reply that hey I'm the smart one. So all the intelligent people had to gather together and the smart people together. Then from there, we found out that actually, during the rope game, we could have just taken off the blind fold because there was no rule saying that we couldn't. IT WAS LIKE SO WHAT LA!!(i told you they all like to do things like this. as if they have nothing better to do with their life) then we had a presentation for each group on what we thought of the game. So ya. then we did the DISC profile thing. My third time and once again I'm a "IS"! YAY!! I like that personality type. So ya, then we played another game, which was like getting our hands tangled up together and then we have to try to untangle. But we couldn't do it, as in the intelligent people la. so ya. Then the other group did it, then we all had to do together. Then continued with the session on the different personality types. That's all. But it was really very fun and meaningful because we could actually learn more about ourselves. So then group time. Seth and Leonard just showed me all their fire tricks and I had to stall for time while the people involved in station games went to prepare. So ya. Then station games. Because Gerald went to listen to the discussion he wasn't allowed to play. Because I knew how to play all the games, I also wasn't allowed to play. So sad la. I could only help out here and there. There were 3 groups la. First group was Seth, Leonard, Mark and Samuel. Second group was Jessica, Delicia, Alicia and Valerie. The last group was Pho, Nicholas, Daniel and Ewen. So I followed the second group first la. The clue given to them was wrong la. Sarah gave them a clue that couldn't work out. So I had to help them by finding out what it was. So I followed them to the carpark where Ziteng was and they have to play this legged race thingy. Hate to say it but that station is kinda boring. Then I started walking around. Went to visit Dawn's station and all. So ya walked and walked around. Bumped into Gerald for quite a bit. Then I took both cameras and went to Dawn's station. And meet Gerald on the way so he took the digital camera from me and helped me take photo. So I used the video camera there. And like it was pho's group la. so then like the 3 guys were blind folded as it was an obstacle course. Yeah. The 3 guys always post so nicely and I took a really funny video of them. Then like Gerald and I went around taking photos and videos and came back to the intermediate room. Yeah. so like then Tin Tin discovered that every group tied so we had a tie breaker, an obstacle course again. hahaha. And the funny group, pho's group won! hahah. So then wash up, dinner and then worship, group time and finally talent night. We started off talent night with Cherilyn and I cracking the lamest jokes just to stall time. And the sec fours, Ethel, Eliza, Kimberly, Elroi, James and Lucius and Amos came la. Oh and before the talent night, Jessica, Sarah, Gerald and I put some tiger balm on Elroi's slipper so when he tried to put it on, there was this burning feeling. So like after stalling time, a cake from Ewen's parents came and we started singing for him. So sweet la his parents. Then like we played a game and had the other group to have their item first which was actually the song one way with different lyrics. Quite cool la then we got the sec fours to perform and then lastly my group. Even though my group's item was kinda weird, I thought it was really good cos it was rather funny. Ok i got to say that the sec fours' skit was really good. On account that it was impromptu. ok then we rounded off everything and just had free time. So we played a food game. To clear food. So retarded la that game but a really good way to clear the food and it got a lot of people high. From what I heard, poor Delicia had to eat 4 packets of milo. Poor girl. And Nicholas got so high that he was dancing and dancing and dancing. And his dances are all so so funny. Such a funny guy. and then we watched 2 movies(cheaper by the dozen 2 and cinderalla story). That knocked a lot of people out. Ya. So after I got everyone to go to the correct rooms, Gerald, Nicholas, Pho and I didn't sleep and just went to talk and talk and talk. Yeah. Then at like 5 we all went to sleep. Yeah. Before that Gerald was like we are all high "I" sure can talk to the next day. But he was the first one to fall asleep among himself, Nicholas and I. Pho feel asleep the minute she came. So not counted.

Day 3
Woke up at 0830. half an hour late. I was woken up cos I was very sure I heard pho and Gerald talking by the door, and I thought I saw them. But when I woke up, I found out that they were still sleeping. Then we just cleared up and rounded up everything. The toilet they guys used was so disgusting la. Toilet paper everywhere. It was like practically flooded. So after a closing prayer which took so long to happen, we closed the camp. Then we went to pizza hut and then back to church and looked at Nicholas do his crazy acts. Daniel was so bad. hahaha. Cannot say why here. Cos not nice. haha. But he kept on doing stuff to Gerald. So bad la. Then I went home and slept. haha. i was so tired.

Yeah. So intermediate camp was a success in my point of view. i never thought it could actually pull through. I have to admit that we were very unprepared and like a lot of things were done last minute. So if I ever have the time, I would upload photos. Yeah. And i'll tell more about it another time or maybe I could just add in more next time.

Yeah and basically for myself. I guess I really gained a lot from this camp. For starters, I actually strengthen friendships and made friends la. We wanted to gain unity in this camp and I guessed that happened to me la. I got to know people like Nicholas better, to me he's just plain nuts. I talked more to the Seth and Leonard aka the two monkeys. I found out that Nicholas is really talented in singing. I really learnt that there is no way that I could have gone through this camp without the committee. And lastly, I really have to thank God for this. Initially, when I first saw the response, I thought that the camp was going to be a failure. But as I prayed everyday, God made the response better and better. In the end the camp was such a success. It's true. God does provide. He helped us through this camp. I also learnt that I really got to think outside the box. Some mentality that I have is not necessarily right. Like we always think that as long as we are divided into groups, it means competition. But that's not necessarily true. We can still work together as a huge team. Besides the theme of the camp is ONE BODY ONE VOICE! haha. So ya. In a way I'm glad that this camp actually took place. So ya, I've to thank the sec fours for actually planning a camp last year, inspiring us to have a camp this year, in which I learnt so much from it. Hopefully the bonds that were made during this camp would actually last. I hope that people like valerie who is like quite soft spoken actually enjoyed it and will like open up more because of this camp. Yeah.

I hoped that whoever came for this camp enjoyed it and is able to bring something meaningful home from it. If next year you want to plan another camp, feel free to approach me for the proposals or the contacts.

Today is one of those days where by my family showed practically the whole world that we are typical singaporeans. And there's only one word to describe us today -- Kiasu!

Yeah. Today we had a father's days bbq at east coast today. The whole of my mum side went. You may all be thinking - so? how does that make your family kiasu? Trust me. It's not the early celebration that was kiasu, but it was what we brought.

This is what my family brought. We brought a table, four seater, with a huge umbrella attached. 2 chairs. (so far so good). A huge bin to fill with water to wash hands. Another table. 2 mini bbq pits. (still considered ok). A bed and a tent! like we had this small plot of land. And we practically filled it up with all our stuff. And these are just the main items. I tell you. My father is very equipped. He thought of every single minor detail. He even brough two fans, 3-4 torch lights, a lot of seasoning, a lot of food, fire starters of all sorts, light sticks, 3 lanterns(those from ikea), a lot of candles, a pump to pump out water from the container, a cooler, a bag of ice, a lot of drinks(so that we don't have any excuse to go 7 eleven to buy stuff), a flask of hot water and many many more!!!! and that's only what my family brought. But actually, that was mainly it. My uncles just brought food, a cooler for cold drinks and two more tables from my grandparents' place(which is like walking distance). And this is just a simple bbq. SO KIASU!!

Oh and because we didn't rent a bbq pit, my father brought 2 mini pits. They were like this aluminium tray, with charcoal. Yeah. So my father placed each of the pits on this cardboard box, and just as brendan and i predicted, the boxes caught fire. So with tongs, my parents brough the pits to the ground, and brendan splashed water on the burning box. And in his confusion he poured water into one of the pits, so my parents were like, now only one left. we're not going to eat. But they were so so wrong. I just happened to be faning the pit which Brendan poured water into, and surprisingly, the fire in that pit burned better than the other. HAHA. so cool la. So we borrowed bricks from the construction site near by and cooked on top of the bricks. Reminded me of OBS! Oh, and that's when all my father's seasonings came out. I was like WOW! haha. So like we ate and ate. Actually, they hardly brought any food to bbq, they brought a lot of bee hoon. Which was weird, cos they know that no one would eat it, but they still brought such food and in such a huge amount. Oh well. Yeah, and my father started giving food to the 2 people at the construction site. HAha. They were so happy la. I think they were starving.

Then my brothers and my cousins (except for me and my cousin, isabelle. the oldest and the youngest) started playing with light sticks and doing weird stuff with them. While Isabelle and I were just taking photos. I was teaching her how to use the camera. But she has no patience. So by the time the photo is taken, she moved her hand. haha. so initially, she took nothing but the ground. But she actually improved. yeah. then when all my other cousins went into the tent and started telling ghost stories, isabelle and i went around scaring them by suddenly shaking the tent. hahaha. super funny.

Yeah. Despite being so so super kiasu, which was actually good la, cos it brought about so much comfort, today's bbq was fun. Never expected it to be this fun. HAHA. I shall find another way to upload photos and do so some other time. yeah

Blogs seem so pointless. This holiday have been so hectic for me, still is and definately going to continue. I barely started on my homework. I'm so going to die. And on top of that I have a lot lot more things to do! I'm going to die..

This is work overload!!!

Oh and I watched "Benchwarmers" today. And it so reminded me of church. Cos in church terms, they were doing a lot of 'maxlife'. Yeah. But it was super super funny. So ya. People from Foochow may want to watch this show. You'll laugh the whole show. Yeah.. HAHAHA

Today must be one of the best birthdays I ever had! YAY! I'm now officially 15!!!

Ok. I must be grateful and thank all the people who wished me a happy birthday. I'm sorry if I left anyone out. I hope that doesn't happen. Yeah. This is not in any particula order. TEENS OF CHRIST (cherilyn, gerald, jessica, sarah, ziteng, daniel, tin tin, pho, mag!) HANDBELLS PERFORMING GROUP '06 (lao da, lao er, lao san, ah ma, krystal, rui jun, petrina, tiffany, priscilla, cherie) and those playing for the musicial (i'm so sorry. I don't know all your names. So I'll add it in another time.). Sunny, Lousia, Tracy, Amanda Lim, Vicky Guan, Valerie Chia, Miss Kek, Eugenia Kek, Zhi Wai, Ya Ting, Elizabeth, Paul, Delicia and all my family members!

Yeah. Yesterday was already so amazing. (You can just read about it in my previous post.) Ok then last night I had dinner with my father's side. We travelled all over the place and finally got to somewhere to eat. So ma fun. But nevertheless, it was for me. So thanks. Then I had my third birthday cake in macdonalds.

Yeah, then at night I was talking on the phone with Gerald and suddenly priscilla called, screaming Happy Birthday to me. I was like super shocked la. Then I had a conference call with them and they actually started talking to each other. Not bad. HAHA. (which is why you may see in my tagboard that priscilla said she was the first followed by gerald. but it's ok delicia. You'll still be loved. After all you are a millionaire!! hahah) And the whole night I was recieving messages wishing me. So ya. Thanks to all of you!

And today handbells. I must say that lao da and lao er acted very well. Cos I knew they were up to something that's why I didn't really want to enter the canteen. Cos like so pai seh. Then when priscilla asked me to go buy drinks. I managed to guess everything out. hahaha. But yeah. When I turned back I saw the candles. So I walked ultra slowly and sat a few benches before. Then when Cherilyn saw, she was like. I escort you there. So she pulled me by my sleeves all the way there. Yeah. Then after they sang everyone was staring. And cherilyn was like Monica aren't you touched. why aren't you crying. stupid her. But anyway. In case I didn't do it properly just now. I'm going to thank all of you now! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for the cake and the 'surprise'. hahaha.

prac was ok la. We talked a lot. Ate a lot. and did very weird stuff. HAHAHAHA! Yeah.

And my response for the camp is like...... ERM!! anyway! Do any of you want to come for the intermediate camp! it's for teens by teens! Yeah. Just email me.. or call me. my email is myharmonica@msn.com and I won't put my handphone number here. But you can email me for my number. Yeah.

and ya. THANKS AGAIN TO ALL THOSE WHO MADE MY 15TH BIRTHDAY SUCH A SPECIAL ONE!!

WOW!!

Today was the best pre birthday I ever had. Thanks so much all of you. Actually to be specific, thanks to all from TEENS OF CHRIST (TOC). You guys are so so sweet. today in church, I really didn't expect you guys to give me anything. All I was hoping for this birthday was to have fun. And like WOW! What you all did today was really so touching. Firstly if you all were acting, pretendin that nothing was up. Then it was really good. At first I was wondering why most of you don't want to come for holy communion. I didn't expect you all to be planning how to bring up the cake and all. And like, when Daniel and Pho just disappeared. I never expected them to come in with a cake together with Mag. And what made it even more touching, was that almost everyone (if i'm not wrong it's Cherilyn, Mag, Gerald, Jessica, Sarah, Daniel, Tin Tin, Pho and Ziteng) had a part to play in it. And on top of that I even recieved presents. Thank you guys so so much.

Firstly, I need to thank Sunny and lousia who wished me happy birthday yesterday. And for today, the whole of TOC!! I love you guys. And for leonard and seth. (who used my birthday to try to get everyone to go to mache. But anyway. Thanks). And jerald who wished me non stop. I'm sorry if I missed out your name if you did wish me. Cos I'm so overwhelmed.And for all the presents I recieved today. And the best thing is that my birthday is only tomorrow.

And I got to admit. I was so touched that when I reached home and started to watch the video that Cher gave me. Tears started rolling down my eyes. I got to say that "Cher you are really good at all these video stuff and all. And THANK YOU SO MUCH! I heard you were the one who started all these planning"

I'm super blessed la. I'm blessed with such great and wonderful friends. I feel as if I'm the luckiest and happiest person in the world.

Anyway. I just want to THANK YOU ALL SO SO SO MUCH!!! YOU GUYS ARE REALLY THE BEST!

Whatever that it is in colour is meant to be very low.
Whatever that it is in colour is meant to be very high and squeaky.

GREETINGS!
Favoured one. The Lord is with You. Do not be afraid. For you have found favour with God. (blah blah blah...) The house of Jacob forever....... There will be no end

But how can this be? For, I'm still a virgin...

...And He will be called the Son of God


Hahaha. Those were a few of the lines that are going to come out for the musicial this coming July. And I'll be in this scene. And no, I'm not going to read out these lines. These are just the few lines that Tiffany and I remembered and were repeating non stop and a few of our cues. And I still feel that certain things they say in the musicial is kinda wrong. Some more it's a christian based musicial. Sigh.. Oh well.

Random...

ok I'm really bored now so I'm just going to say any random stuff and type down whatever comes to my mind. Dunno why today I feel like blogging so much.

1. There's something wrong with blogger. According to my last post, the last time I posted was on the first but blogger claims it was on the 31st. Stupid blogger.
2. I can't wait to have high tea later with Tiffany and Rui Jun (any other handbeller want to join us?)
3. So many people are born in June. INCLUDING ME! haha (hint hint).
4. I can't wait for the 5th of June
5. Is there anything I can do on that day except go for prac
6. My blog's birthday is the same day as lao da and brittany. the seventh of june.
7. I need to take my IC photo soon and make my IC between the 6th and 20th of June
8. I think this orange is a nice colour.
9. I'M VERY BORED
10. I feel like going out and spend all my money
11. I want more money
12. I feel like going to KLCC (i also dunno why)

ahaha. I don't think I can think of anymore stuff to write about. I can't believe I'm so bored. Oh well. Then I shall blog about yesterday.

Yesterday sucked man! Everything went wrong for my family. The first thing that happened to me when I woke up is that I got scolded. I have no idea why la. Then tuition. Then I had to take my IC photo. But I didn't like it. So my mum said dont' take that one. And then she said this would be a life time thing. That made me ultra angry. Cos like she was rushing me the whole day(not say I was just stoning the whole day. I had tuition la). Only to tell me that the photo was a life time thing. OF COURSE I KNOW IT'S A LIFE TIME THING. But I've no idea why she rushed me. So ya. Both of us not happy with each other. Then went home. Then suddenly went to this buffet. Jap one la. Then eating half way, Ian had a fish bone stuck in his throat. So had to rush to the doctor. And we barely started eating. Then I started crying. Cos in the car when Ian was on my lap crying. I just felt so sad for him. Then first doctor said he cannot do it. All that stupid nurse's fault. Ask her to check with the doctor she don't want. Then after we wait so long she finally said that the doctor can't do it. Then went to the second doctor, he said couldn't see anything so adviced my parents to bring Ian to the hospital. So Brendan and I went home first and Ian had to go for x ray and all la. Only to find out that it was only a scratch. So THANK GOD! Then I found out that when my mum went to the market in the morning, some dunno what fell on her head. And my father had some business problem.

So what's my conclusion. Yesterday SUCKED!

Holidays are actually more stressful than normal school days. This I seriously cannot believe but it's so so true. For me la at least.

This holiday, handbells is like mad. Practise are always so so long and somehow, certain songs never seem to be getting any better. And to add fuel to the fire, everyone is falling sick. There has never been a day (so far) whereby the whole choir is present and able to play. And the musicial is a killer. Somehow, the first chord cannot come in together. And it'd be so sad if lao da has to conduct. She should be playing with us la. It will be her last performance right? So SHE SHOULD PLAY! I'm sure we can practise until we get it right. We just need to practise A LOT!! I seriously don't mind coming to school more if it helps the performance. And I'm sure we can find other means of communication. The angel's wings are so huge, no one can see us la. So there's a lot of things we can do to communicate. And now we need to find pink shirts for the performance for the dinner at Orchid Country Club. I wonder where we can buy that man. And everyone has to like it too... Well, at least it's not white shirt again.

And I'm going to be driven mad soon. I just want to get everything done with and enjoy the rest of my holidays before the intermediate camp. Somehow I get the feeling that some of us just feels that there is a lot of time. Truth to be told. We don't have enough time if we continue at this rate. We had a really good start, and now, everyone is just takeing their own sweet time. What Sandra said is true. As a ringer, you only have to take charge of your own notes. But as the conductor, you've to take charge of everyone's notes and the whole song. Don't you all understand that if you all don't do your jobs, you're putting me in a spot where I can't do anything. If I take myself as the conductor and you all as the ringers, do you then understand what I'm going through. Even though this is not concerning handbells, I can seriously understand what Sandra is going through. Even in the choir. So what if there's only one person playing/doing his or her job well? If the everyone doesn't do what they are suppose to do, nothing will ever be done. Ahhh... I really dunno what to do to let you all know the importance of your jobs. (and somehow I can relate this to handbells very well.)

I need a break from all these.....
