Siddhartha

Argh!! I have a written commentary on a passage from Siddhartha due tmr! Actually i was given this piece of assignment 2 weeks ago but i forgot (and was lazy) so no choice, gotta rush it out later.

Going to watch X2 tonight on channel5 XD whee~~ After the release of O lvl results, my mum stopped bugging me. For only 2 days T___T Today she's back to her naggy old self again -__-
I've submitted the JAE application, put NJ as my 1st choice, Hwach as 2nd and ACSI as 3rd. Ahaha don't ask why hwach is at the 2nd choice.

Went for the 2nd session of band tryout on saturday and i was the only one who turned up. The other 2 RV girls didn't go =( One couldnt make it while the other woke up only at 9.30am (the person told us to report at 9am) So yup! Tried the tuba, trombone, oboe and did the rythm test. I think trombone was the easiest, of the 3 instruments. The oboe instructor wore a shirt which read 'fcuk them' O_O The ACSI band is pretty good XD i sat in and listened to them play. Then the viceperson politely invited me to sit with the saxophone ppl to observe them up close. Ahaha it was awkward cos i had to squeeze my way past the french horn section(5 to 8 of them). The conductor noticed me at some random momtent and got me to introduce myself. Too bad, i won't be in the ACSI band for long. The vicechairman promised to get me a saxophone asap so yay!!! I'll be able to start practising soon XDXD

Started reading 2 random manga on friday. I can't seem to find anymore exciting series like hunter X =( Anyway the titles are Deadman wonderland and Blue Dragon Ral Grado. Average only i guess, especially ral grado cos it uses lots of fanservice to attract ppl. And those methods don't work on me since i'm a girl. Deadman has potential but the drawing style is... acceptable only. I still prefer Clamp works ^_^ Here's a scene from Ral grado which made me laugh and think of Baocheng =X
Read from right to left please (for those who dont know) and loli complex is a preference for young girls. O_O

Aozora no namida

That's the name of the song i'm listening to. It's an interesting and easy way to name my posts.

Today.... where should i start. The wait and suspense is finally over and i've also decided which JC to go to. We've all worked so hard too see good grades on this piece of flimsy paper. I feel kinda empty now -__- Saw many people going teary eyed after receiving the results and it affected me a little too. Karene was the 1st person to give me a hug and while hugging her, something in me just... snapped and i started to cry. Karene got influenced by me and cried a bit. WAHAHAHA actually i think it was really a waste of tears cos there was nothing much to cry about.
I suppose what triggered the sudden flow of tears were the anxiety and fear i felt ever since O levels ended. Felt good to let it out.

Thankyou mel for the funky necklace! I'm going to wear it to my ahmah's house during cny and wow everyone! =D

Pearls

Cos that's the title of the song i'm listening to. From cowboy bebop.

Really really really maodun now. I was really intending on going to another jc and study the A level course no matter what my results. But today, just today of all days, the chinese A2 teacher reassured me that IB isn't that tough and that if i'm leaving the school just because i think A level is easier and more managable, i'm sooooo wrong. Why am i so easily convinced? T_T

What i like about ACSI
1. The location. Close to my house and there's a direct bus
2. The facilities. Chao new and good! Even better than ny
3. My new friends and my class
4. The school song. Yes, kill me but everytime i think about the 'Oldham' in the 1st verse of the school song, i cant' help but laugh

Why, i'm having trouble listing down what i like about the school.

What i dislike about ACSI
1. The ridiculously low temp set for aircon throughout the school. If this carries on i've got to bring a scarf and mittens to survive in class
2. Expensive food =( $20 a week is only just enough
3. EE and TOK eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkk!!!
4. The ratio of boys to girls in school. Seriously weird to see boys everywhere. When i say everywhere i mean everywhere.

My mind isn't funtioning well. Because all i'm think about now is O LEVELS O LEVELS O LEVELS O LEVELS O LEVELS O LEVELS. X_X

The other day during TOK lecture i fell asleep. My friend kindly woke me up halfway cos she thought the teacher was turning back to look (i was sitting behind the teacher) and i went 'AH?' so loudly that the teacher really turned to look. So did all the students sitting in the row infront of mine. Wah it was so scary lah, and so i pretended to cough and drink water.

Stairway to heaven is extremely sad

Today's episode made me tear uncontrollably. Urgh

Band tryout! Yes, baocheng, you're right about trying all the instuments before choosing one. Was with 2 other nice RV girls who are also in my chinese A2 class. We didn't get to try all the instruments sadly cos the instructors were leaving when i arrived. Let's see, i tried (in chronological order) the eufonium, french horn, trumpet, saxophone, flute and clarinet. I succeeded in producing and sustaining a sound for the eufonium and french horn. As for the trumpet.............. i failed to make any sound cos the mouthpiece was smaller in size and i was not able to 'fart' into it. =( The sec 1s who were there with us to try instruments were pro lor! It appears to me that they can make that farting sound with their mouth very well. Maybe they practised alot at home. =l
ANYWAY it seems that i scored exceptionally well for the saxophone so aha~ so it's possible that i end up with the saxophone ^^ JAZZ!! Oh yes, the saxophone instructor resembles my tuition teacher(whom i've not seen for a long time ever since Os ended) so much that I couldn't help staring. I almost expected him to say 'Yimin! How was your Olevel physics and math?' Ahaha *very amused*
As for the clarinet, all 3 of us scored well so i guess the clarinet is kinda 'idiotproof' plus the instructor commented to the vice chairman who was bringing us around that they already have many studetns in the clarinet section.

Overall, it was fun! I want to try the instruments again, especially the trumpet, flute and saxophone!!! Hey yufei, your mouth piece was dirty lor, my lips were slightly swollen that night after using your mouth piece. The acsi ones are newer and since i feel fine + my lips did not swell, i conclude that they're are cleaner too.
Yufei is a dirty girl =D (look at the labels i gave this post!) XDXD

The more i see the acsi IB tie, the more i like it. =l After reading wenyi's post and hearing yufei complain about the NJ boys i want to make a comment. Guys at acsi don't have BO and they do not stink at all even after PE. Maybe it's because the whole school is air-conditioned so sweat evaporates quickly. This school may well be the number 1 contributer to global warming in singapore; the aircon temperature is set soooo low that it's like the northpole X_X

Spice and wolf

That's the name of the anime i'm watching now. I'm pretty behind times, having stopped watching anime for a few weeks and focusing on manga XD Omg.. even gunslinger girl 2 came out without me knowing X_X I have lots of catching up to do. Ok, Spice and wolf is boring. I've had enough of church stuff for the week. Moving on to.... Persona -trinity soul-. Looks promising!!

Went back to ny again.. becoming a weekly activity for 413 ppl to meet at ny haha. Anw less ppl turned up today so i decided to visit my cca at the library. Imagine my surprise when i found the room empty. Met the sec 2s later, who told me that green club has moved to computer lab 5. And that Miss Chee is now the teacher in charge. O_o Also went with yufei and samantha to the band room. Tried blowing the french horn for the 1st time in my life!!! It's quite heavy and hard to blow =l All i did was to make farting noises. Hopefully the band tryout tmr will be more eventful X_X I doubt they're reject any female students though

Persona trinity soul is cool! Way better than spice and wolf, which is more or less romance and it involves the church. Almost like Inukani, which i didn't like at all.
I feel a sorethroat coming up. Must be yufei's french horn mouth piece. Full of saliva and god knows what bacteria. I dread using the acsi band mouth piece tmr. I might get infected with something more deadly than a sorethroat *gulps* X__X

A nice and cooling friday night

I'm afraid that it will be the LAST nice and cooling friday night i'll ever have in the months to come. T_T NOOOOO olevel results coming on the 25th. I dont want to stay in ACSI. The people there are nice and friendly.. but IB is seriously not for me. Enough on this depressing topic. Almost every wish i make now is to get good grades for O levels. It may seem silly and childish, but that's really my only wish now.

Wenyi bought trinity blood book 1!! Whee~~ Hope she gets addicted. As the saying goes 'Manga, my anti-drug. Because when you're addicted to manga, how can you still afford drugs?' XDXD How true. Talking to janice on the phone now. Lets see how well i can multi task.. Read legal drugs on sunday.. ah.. shounenai-ness. How much of it can i take? T__T

Went back to ny yesterday. 413 I MISS YOU GUYS!!!! I only reached around 5pm so didnt meet everyone T__T THANKYOU Janice, for the hxh fan book and keychain! ^__^ i really really like them XXD wahaha

Clover CLAMP

Reading Clover manga now. The english version has been out of print since... 2 years ago? Lessons will start officially tomorrow, no more orientation =( That's too bad, though the orientation activities weren't particularly fun. They just tired me out and made me sleep early.

I don't think i will have the time to go online often anymore, so i plan to dedicate almost all my time online to reading manga, watching anime and perhaps blogging. ^^ I'm still not done watching my trinity blood anime, much less black lagoon or mushishi T_T Oh dear this is bad.

Clover is such a nice manga!! Quality drawings!!
Look at Ran san's sexy back! He's going to show his shoulder XDXD and nope sorry, I'm not going to put a picture of his beautiful face here =D

Clover has only 4 volumes. I just can't get enough of CLAMP mangas.

Grandpa's birthday!

Well, that's just a title.
I've finally come to realise that almost all of CLAMP works hint at shounen ai. CLAMP, my favourite manga producer, a promoter of shounen ai. X___X I kinda overlooked this fact these past years because of the amazingly good looking characters. And have you guys realised that the stories always have 2 main male characters, good vs bad. For example X and code geass. I don't think anyone has ever heard of Legal drugs, an unfinished manga with 2 hot protagonists XD ahh no time to blog now

=( i'm so tired and ACSI is... full of boys
