today was a rather interesting day!
well first off, after flag raising, someunknownteacher in army regalia came up & talked. i have no idea what he talked about, something about totalle defence. then he got people to come up & read war poems! ididntlikethefirstone. yeah. @ least, im quite certain there're many other people who wrote better poems. definitely.
then was this fire extinguishing exercise! & then this person came up to tell this story about an unknown group of people who worked together as a country, and succeeded in whatever they set out to do? gosh. it was so drama everyone was like dotx3.
then we had e chem test. but halfway through, there was a darn FIRE DRILL! talk about e brilliance. when we got back from e boarding house (where we evacuate to when there's a fire), nah told us to continue w our tests and said we've been blessed greatly by supernatural forces today.
i think i passed chem, but will definitely not get an A. SIGH. my mum says i get a new laptop @ e end of e year if i get 6A1s for the 8 subjects i take. i'll die larh.
okay anyways. chem ate into our recess & left us w 5 minutes. gah. then lunchtime, i went to watch some random people play football! (namely lynette, jayne, brenda, sam, claire) then i joined them for a duration of about 6 minutes. ha, that's not too bad for me, considering my excellent footeye coordination.
MR LEE TURNED UP IN THE MORNING IN ARMY UNIFORM WITH THE CUTE LITTLE BLACK CAP AND OMGAWSH HE WAS TEH CUTE BUT HE REFUSED TO WEAR IT AGAIN!
& when i asked him to take a pic of himself in uni so we can show yingming who wasn't there today, he said " oh just go online, search for a plump man in army uniform, and CLICK. we all look the same, really." yeah, he changed into his infamous pink striped shirt after the pretty adorable army unif.
after school, went to coro w lynette, wanted to get a pe tee, but they were out of stock! then we saw the prettiest fbt black jacket, & lynette's thinking of getting a team jacket so she'll talk to eliza like next week. its really nice. 26 bucks.
then we went to kap, where we hung with nicolette & amanda & melo. which was vastly amusing (albeit disturbing) as in the topics they choose to discuss. (read: discovery channel style. aka reproductive thingums.) yeah.
AFTER WHICH, i went home! to west mall, actually, to check out the cds that liping jie asked me to look @. they were really crappy.
& then piano. omgawsh i think i'm really starting to harth piano again. not that i ever loved it much, but seriously. there's just so many NICE PIECES! (which reminds me, chanyi, i need to ask you for some pieces) ahhhh. & im thinking of continuing w theory, kuz apparently dipabrsm needs grade EIGHT theory. which poses a slight problem.
so i'll think about it, i'll most probably continue, have indiv theory lessons after practical lessons. i wont really mind e extra workload, i think. its all for a better cause. & i think im going for the dipLCM (from london college of music and media) @ e end of e year, its quite an easy one to take, like, not much harder than e abrsm grade 8 pieces, apparently.
would act as exposure. then maybe end of next year, i'll take the other dip from lcmm, called ALCM (associate dip). and by then i should be done with my grade 7 theory? hopefully. and then finally a year and a half after that or something (which means halfway through j2, goodness.) i can take my dipabrsm, or lcmm's llcm (licentiate dip).
woot, fun! hahaha not really. hopefully i can cope larh, i dont plan to have a lot of commitments during jc. weehee. just cca & my piano. harth. plus my guzheng. & my guitar is just for me to sing along to when i want to do worship. so yep.
OHOH. and on the way back from piano, in the mrt, when iw as holding my thick fat book that says piano classics, this guy about 28ish i think? he asked if he could see what pieces my book has. then i was like sure and passed it to him to see, & he looked through it for about 3 minutes, then right before the train reached bktbtk, he told me to try mozarts piano concerto no 20 and 21, because it sounds good. hahahaha so interesting! but thank you very much, unknown person, & you're awfully nice.
then while i was rushing to get back home (to watch white chicks) there was this father and his son in front of me strolling @ a lento pace. then the son (approx 16-17) saw me rushing-ish and he just moved aside, & his dad was still blocking me and he was like " 'dy, move to one side," and the dad did exactly that & i was like omgawsh everyone's so nice today! and i was all sorries & thankyou's as i bustled past them & went home.
ps. i got sandals. finally! for obs. and general usage.
ps. my dad had a violent reaction when i told him if he'd mind paying $105 extra a month. (i meant it for my theory, kuz thats how much it costs for 4 indiv lessons, 45 mins each.) he thought i meant pocket money.
p.s. my parents seem to support me taking theory. WOOTZ!
p.s. claire & jayne are coming with me to join tennis in jc if we can, kuz LYNETTE is abandoning me to go & join football, if they've a girls team by then.
p.s. ithinkifailedmy chineseliteraturetest. no, i know i did.
i was green-ed at 11:31 pm
