Urgh... I'm sick and tired of emaths... But I've got 11/2 more papers and 150+ more textbook questions (question count courtesy of Tanya) to go... (T.T)

Anyway, here's Kimeru's 恋のパフォーマンス ～to be with you～ (Koi no Performance ~to be with you) with Chinese and Japanese subs, in full length and better quality... Enjoy!



He's so adorable!!! =333

I went for a kompang workshop this morning.

Let me tell you this-- if you think chanting/singing and playing the kompang before the groom arrives is easy-peasy, change that mindset... I was sitting in an air-conditioned room, holding a smaller-than-usual sized kompang, glaring at the seemingly simple rhythms on the makeshift whiteboard, my hands almost trembling trying to keep up with the fast beat, I had to keep switching my position of my fingers 'cos they were getting stiff from holding the kompang, and yet, at the end of almost two and a half hours, our group barely managed to learn 3 sets of rhythms... The problem? We weren't in sync with one another and trying to play an interlocking pattern like that was near impossible... Which is why I'm now full of admiration for those guys... Playing 4 different sets of rhythms out of memory (we didn't quite manage with 2 that were clearly notated on the whiteboard) and chant/sing at the same time, and yet end up highly coordinated...

But I definitely had fun... Though my 'drumming' technique is probably all wrong... Haha... A hands-on session is sooooo much more interesting than pages after pages of notes... (^^)v

And please don't tell me you don't know what a kompang is after reading all that... I'm gonna assume you do, and even if you don't, you can always google it... (--)

Anyway, today is offically the start of the June holidays... Ooooh yay, the un-holidayish hols... And I fell asleep doing Emaths homework this afternoon even though I drank a mug of tea to make sure I don't... (-_-)''' (But I managed to finsh it anyay, haha...)

I'm in love with shashimi!!! =3

Yaaaaarrrrrggghh! My entire right arm is like so dead... It's been so weak and inflexible ever since yesterday night, 'cos of the the arm muscles aching... And why is are they in that condition? 'Cos we played dodgeball during PE and I kept using my right hand to throw the ball... Jeez... I can't describe how peeved I am to get muscle aches just from throwing balls around... And the best thing is, I don't think the balls I threw hit anybody... They just mostly bounce harmlessly in front of the other team... Guess I have to exercise more huh?

Anyway, yesterday was a horrible horrible day... I overslept and woke up one whole hour later than usual... And of course even though the cab fare was $10, I was still 14 minutes late... Urgh... And I only ate my breakfast during recess... Then after helping to set up the music booth for the sec 2 meet-the-parents session (I didn't do much, so I'm feeling extremely guilty), I rushed off for the Macbeth play... At least the play's nice... And they presented some stuff in a different way from what I imagined... Interesting... But it's waaaaaaaaaayyyyy too late... Got home really late and as a result, slept only at 1am...

And I feel like a zombie now... With a body that's not in tiptop condition... Oyasumi~

The fan's spoilt! Argh! As if the weather isn't hot enough as it is... I still pretty ok with it, though I have a feeling this won't last long... But the peeps in the neighbouring row by the window are really melting... Poor them... Hopefully, before both rows die from heatstroke, the fan'll be fixed... (^^)'''

I found my neuralisation worksheet! Chem SPA file: COMPLETE!!

And I nearly died laughing during Bio remedial this afternoon... I've always suspected that Bao Hui and Tanya are kinda... Hard of hearing, but their conversation today totally convinced me... Here's 1 example:

BH: Argh! There's gonna be Chem homework on Thursday! I don't-
T: *makes weird whining sound* Tamil homework? Eeee...
BH: Yeah!

Oh well, it went something like that... Haha...

Tanya gave me 3 really cute notebooks as belated birthday presents... Thank you! And thanks to these people too, for giving me birthday presents:

• Hui Min and Wanyan for the Death Note 2 VCD (Ahhhhhhhhhh!)
• Germaine L for the delicious cookies/biscuits
• Kelly for the book filled with cute poems
  
• Mummy for the pillow
• Papa for the ang pow
  
• Si Lei for the nice green jacket and
  
• Yin Xue for the Kit Kats
  

Yay! Thankies!

Now to Prince of Tennis!

I'm scared scared scared scared scared scared scared scared scared scared SCARED of the truth?! Argh~ It's almost like Judgement Day for me tomorrow...

But introducing Kimeru, whose songs played a big role calming me down this few days (the end's cut, but nevermind, since I can't seem to find any other):



Hopfully, I won't get the chance to break down tomorrow...

And the last phototaking in band uniform at 2 tomorrow... Wow... Time sure zoomed past...

I seem to be living in a never-ending nightmare... All the way from SYF, the tonnes of homework, the hours spent mugging, the exams themselves, and now, the results... Yikes... Gotten back 6 papers, failed 3 of them... D7, E8, F9... And the best among the 6 was a B4... Couldn't get more upset than this...

Thanks for consoling me...

I was in a ultra-lousy mood, and basically didn't feel like doing anything... But after I calmed down (result of a few hours of listening to songs), I asked myself: why? I can't say it's SYF, 'cos the other band members were doing alright... Not the overload of homework, not the crammed exam schedule, 'cos the rest of the class didn't do that badly either... So it's me... I need to 1) manage my time properly and 2)adopt a more serious attitude towards homework; 3) practice more of maths, and 4)start revision early...

With those in mind, I just have to move forward and start all over again... But that's easy to say and hard to do... And I'm very, very scared about the results of the rest of my papers... I cannot fail another one... I know it can't be changed, but still...

But I will work hard-- don't want a repeat of this ever again...
