upon one

November 28, 2007 at 5:54 am · Filed under loved!, music and lyrics

i’ve been called MIA woman!
how funny is that.

anyway, thanks for all the tags. (even if i have no idea who’s Krista. there’ve been 3 people who have commented at my blog but i don’t know them) it’s a bit funny, getting a comment from someone–like Tikaniu, who asked for advice on braces since she’s a flautist herself, Maya, who likes my blog and Krista, who came across my blog while trying to find the lyrics for Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head. this is the second person who has stumbled onto my blog. i think that’s so cute.

Madame de Stael: “We understand death for the first time when he puts his hand upon one whom we love.”

i’d like to dedicate this post to radia and tell her that she’ll never really be gone. and even if i was never her close friend, i’ll always treasure her, simply for being in my life and bringing joy to those around her. i remember when a smile on her face would simply keep people happy. the smile that would always light up everything.
i hope she’s in somewhere where she can rest properly. it really is sad that she went so early.

i’m going now. do comment, even while i’m away (29th november to 14th december). thank you.

joycelyn, i think i’m a very bad luck charm, therefore i have so many misfortunes. hahah kidding. it’s because i’m so careless. what lucky charm?

hi ms khoo, i’m okay! (: just one cut and a bruised heel haha.

hey xueling! no i don’t put plasters. i just leave the wounds and let them heal. yeah next time bring you there okay?

HELLO MOYRA! yes i’m moving. heehee. what have you been doing lately?

band was funny today. met mrs chua and shiming at the gate. mr and mrs chua’s car came to the gate and shiming was at the other side of the front gate with her aunt? i’m not sure who’s that. anyway, she called out to me. haha. she wanted to buy school books. then mrs chua was walking in front of me. after i think she was talking to a junior who was waiting in the canteen and i went down to the band room first. to my surprise the lights were off. so i went to switch them on and went to the door. and again, i was surprised. the door was locked. mrs chua walked in and i told her. after that we went up again and she called zhihao and asked where they were. after i was supposed to follow her and she asked me where the AVA room was. i wanted to answer but i suddenly blanked out and told her i wasn’t sure. hahaha. she said, ‘not sure? you’re a member of this school!’

we met pauline and eunice at the foyer and we all went up to the AVA room to get the key. i chatted with eunice on the way up and was asked which class i was going to. apparently eunice is going to 3E1 (so smart). anyway after that we were approaching the AVA room and mrs chua turned around and asked me, ‘this is the AVA room right?’ and i went ‘ya.’ after that she asked me how come i’m not sure and i told her i forgot. hahaha.

met jermain when pauline and i were going down (eunice stayed to wait for beixi) and we went to warm up and practice Pecos Pueblo. then jermain was practising the complicated part at the end of the first page and got a bit fed up haha.

we played Folklore for Band and To Challenge the Sky and Heavens Above.

math paper 1 and 2! can anyone help me with the question in paper 1? the one where the tank is tilted and we must find the height of the water?

it’s nice going to band. even if you don’t like it and think i’m being some good girl who will do anything.

accident-prone

November 12, 2007 at 1:41 am · Filed under Uncategorized

i’ve been MIA for 5 days!
from 7th to 11th.
been packing and shifting stuff for 4 days consecutively (8th to 11th). feeling quite dead. i didn’t know i had so much rubbish in the house. Mummy says we can’t continue throwing the rubbish if not the people are going to make us pay. she told me she pities the person who will be clearing the refuse chamber today because we threw down some glass bottles yesterday.

three days ago (friday), i was helping my dad bring the huge cardboard boxes up to the second floor of the new mansionette. then he accidentally scratched my finger. i didn’t know the edge of the box was sharp.

two days ago, i was throwing rubbish. then when i turned around, the rubish chute door closed and scratched my heel! actually not really my heel. more like the part above my heel. Mummy then realised that i’m quite accident-prone.
but i think i’m VERY accident-prone.

yesterday, i was holding the cardboard box cover with 2 glass bottles (one was quite heavy) and some other stuff and i was going to pass it to my sister to throw away and i accidentally tilted the box cover and the bottle that was quite heavy dropped and hit my leg. never mind, it didn’t break. luckily my leg is okay.

nice right? so many accidents in 3 days. next time, i better not help with the packing or anything. wherever i go i will either drop something, get hit or whatever. so careless.

okay. haven’t been doing homework for 4 days. so i’m going to go off later and continue on vocabulary!
thanks for all the comments!

i love

Mother Teresa: “Love: A fruit always in season.”

A Friend’s Greeting
-Edgar A Guest

I’d like to be the sort of friend that
you have been to me;
I’d like to be the help that
you’ve been always glad to be;

I’d like to mean as much to you
each minute of the day
As you have meant, old friend of mine,
to me along the way.

I’d like to do the big things and
the splendid things for you,
To brush the gray from out your skies
and leave them only blue;

I’d like to say the kindly things that
I so oft have heard,
And feel that I could rouse your soul
the way that mine you’ve stirred.

I’d like to give you back the joy
that you have given me,
Yet that were wishing you a need
I hope will never be;

I’d like to make you feel as rich as I,
who travel on
Undaunted in the darkest hours with you to
lean upon.

I’m wishing at this time that I
could but repay
A portion of the gladness that
you’ve strewn along my way;

And could I have one wish this year,
this only would it be:
I’d like to be the sort of friend
that you have been to me.

The Gift Of Knowing You
-Dave Stout
There are gifts of many treasures
For both the young and old,
From the tiniest little trinkets
To great boxes filled with gold.

But, put them all together
And they could not stand in lieu,
Of the greatest gift of all
The gift of knowing you.

When your times are filled with troubles
Sadness, grief, or even doubt,
When all those things you planned on
Just aren’t turning out.

Just turn and look behind you
From the place at which you stand,
And look for me through the shadows
And reach out for my hand.

I will lift from you your burden
And cry for you your tears,
Bear the pain of all your sorrows
Though it may be for a thousand years.

For in the end I would be happy
To have helped you start anew,
It’s a small price to pay
For the gift of knowing you.

isn’t Mother Teresa’s quote so nice? i got all these from lovepoemsandquotes. haha.

the FROG princess xD: hello heelos. thanks for your letter and keychain. i know i will really really really missssssss 2e5 next year. waaaaaaaaah. i DO NOT want to go sec 3. sheesh. i love our classroom. got used to its messiness. boohoohoo. so good arh you got into 3e2. i once in e5 forever e5. 1e5, 2e5, 3e5. aiya never mind lah. PS. will miss eating bread and drinking soyabean with you. WAAAAAAAH. *wails* :’(

Shiming/ riceball/ pork chop/ frog princess/ momonashi/ lollipop alien:
even though we have had so many conflicts and misunderstandings and tears all mixed into this year, i hope that we can always remain best friends. even if we go to different classes, have different lifestyles, different schedules and different CCAs. and even though you and i don’t want to go to sec3 next year, we still have to. i guess life is about moving on. and don’t be sad, i’ll always try to find time to eat bread and drink soyabean with you or whatever drink and food you want! and although i haven’t been so close to you recently, i want you to know that i will always help you if you need help. good luck!

XueLing: My K1 sch is near my primary sch.. bt close down when i was ard pri3/4 lerh..hahas… btw weicong went to E3

Xueling/ auntie lee/ ms zi-lian!:
hello! haha. glad to have known you for 2 years. you have really been a crazy woman. even though we’re going to separate classes next year, we’ll still see each other in band (band has so many practices so we’ll see each other quite often)! yup. anyway, work hard on your clarinet! i think you’re going to be the next SL for your section. haha. good luck in everything you do! and please remember to bring home the books and worksheets you need every day if not you won’t be able to do your work!

clar/ meowe/ cat:
clarissa! i’ve been very good friends with you for 2 years already. how time flies. i still remember when selene introduced me to you and shiming. we were all so innocent then! i loved that day when i became friends with all of you. remember the time when we sang one of S.H.E.’s song for the music concert thing? it wasn’t really a concert but just a performance in front of 1E5′06 and ms seah, who wasn’t pleased at all. but it’s okay. we sang together! even if we are to separate next year, i wish you all the best in everything you do. study hard okay? do more on your science and whatever more that needs improving.

Miss Khoo: Dear Stacey,I must admit that time really flies; this year is coming to an end soon to make way for 2008. But nevertheless, I want to thank all of you for the fun, laughter and joy you have brought in your class. I wish all of you Good Luck & All The Best in everything you do :) !Miss Khoo:
hi ms khoo! good luck to you too! and don’t worry, we’ll always talk to you when we see you. and i don’t like the old block! haha. anyway ms khoo, i want to thank you for helping all of us with our math and talking cheem stuff! example ‘i’m so cheesed off’ and ‘i beg to differ’. haha. you’re a hilarious teacher, ms khoo!

XueLing: Tekko dance is nice =D hahas.. im too lazy to find my way thru my memory to find when my memory form >.< shld b during K1 bahx.. i still remember my teachers there =D

correction! tekko dance is not nice. by the way, bamboos don’t dance. haha. which school were you in when you were in K1?

Miss Khoo: Dear Stacey,You must remember your musical terms for your theory exam !yes ms khoo! hahaha. it’s tomorrow!

 

zhihao: TEKKO DANCE! good luck for your grade 5 theory! GET DISTINCTION(: for your teacher! hahaha!

hello mr intellectual! thanks (: haha, i’ll try my best.

went to school to find out about the streaming results. i got into 3E2 and i’m taking Geography! yay. to be honest i’m feeling quite neutral. among my group of friends (zhihao, xueling, clar, shiming) i’m the only one in 3E2. shiming and xueling got into 3E5, zhihao got into E6 and clar got into E4 (if i remember correctly). those 2E5 people who also got into 3E2 are audrey, joyce, yunxun, jessica, wanping and i dunno who else. oh yes! deon is going to 3E2 too. yup. and smart joycelyn, joanne and jolyn (so many Js) are going to 3E1!

i gave shiming a keychain i made myself, zhihao an owl, xueling a purse and clar a small figurine of a cat. haha. and also letters. saying thanks for 2007! i also wrote to moyra, joycelyn and jiayee. haha. wrote to moyra and joycelyn because they’re so cute and they’re my very good friends and wrote to jiayee because she’s always been writing letters to us to wish us good luck for exams. for that i think she should have a letter back in return!

while we were seating in the canteen with renee and samantha from 2E4, we talked to ms leung. she told us that she respects ms ng the most among all teachers because she thinks that ms ng is a good teacher. quite true.

later when i was walking out with xueling and zhihao to get to downtown east, we saw weicong a distance away walking into our direction. my first impulse was to shout, ‘HELLO!’ and wave to him. so i did and zhihao laughed and said i was ’so funny’. haha. i remember asking weicong what class he went to, but i forgot already.

went to subway and i was reading while zhihao ate and chatted with xueling about brown sugar macchiato the drama. wonder what’s so nice about it. and they talk and relate the events that happened in the show…and i caught xueling saying she’s only watched until episode 8 or something. wasn’t really listening. and i’ve finished Jude Deveraux’s Always! it’s such a nice book because the main character in the story, Darci Montgomery, got to change the history of the world to make it a better place and she had to make her husband (Adam) fall in love with her all over again! (she went back to the past and did that). there’s one pretty girl called Lavender Shay from the year 1843 and she has purple eyes! so nice.

Jude Deveraux is a good author.
maybe the next time i go to the library i’m going to borrow Georgette Heyer’s An Infamous Army!

i guess you all must be wondering how come i know what book i want to borrow. the other day i was so bored seating in the library that i went around every shelf looking for nice books to read. haha. and i found 14 nice books (at least, they seem interesting to me). you can see the book list under my profile. and also, if you’re not sure of what homework we have, you can check the list i’ve made, also under my profile. just click ‘About Me’ and scroll down. you’ll see ‘homework list 2007′ and ‘book list 2007′.

i know it seems like i’ve gone mental or something, but i assure you, i have not.

32 minutes of using the computer today. my record!

Italian, German and French

November 1, 2007 at 2:42 am · Filed under friends and family, loved!, music and lyrics

went studying/ doing homework with zhihao and xueling and selene (she came only for a while) yesterday. was supposed to be there 10.30, but i overslept and woke up at 9.45. then when i was on my way to the 354 bus stop, i didn’t see where i was going at the steps and i missed one and my big toe on the left foot hit the step. so it was bleeding and i couldn’t do anything. the nail is a little bit damaged, but it’s okay.

anyway, xueling came at 11.32. 1 hour and 2 minutes late! exceeded clar’s record of half an hour. so we were talking and doing homework at the same time. i asked selene to call when she was reaching and zhihao picked up the call and pretended to be mr bean. “hello! … we’re at mcdonalds, second floor! … bye!” all the while xueling was laughing and hitting her file. (crazy) she dropped her pen 2 times (and it still worked) and her wallet 1 time. all her coins spilled out. careless!

around 2+, we left white sands, despite xueling’s protests to let her finish her comprehension. walked to downtown east. xueling, on the way, said she wanted to play Para at the arcade and the 2 began creating some stupid robot dance for tekko. (which made them laugh like crazy for a few minutes) i ate lunch there and we went to the arcade and i didn’t like it there–it was dark and noisy and (it seemed) very chaotic? there was another shop opposite the arcade with those kind of machines where you direct the claw to the toy that you want and try to get it. xueling found every toy cute.

later they went back to the arcade and played this game called ________________. i’m not sure of the name. it was supposed to be for 3 players and they kept wanting me to play, but i didn’t. and then they started on another one. this one was quite lame. then zhihao got thirsty and went to buy orange milkshake. then this small food stall called waffle factory outside Cheers caught xueling’s eye and they went to gawk at the waffles. zhihao got a waffle with chocolate ice cream and orange juice (still thirsty) and xueling took the strawberry jam waffle. i took half of the ice cream waffle and xueling ate a lot of ice cream. here she dropped her wallet again.

after that we went into the CD store (Poh Kim) and xueling and zhihao were looking at the dramas there. by then it was about 5 and xueling wanted to take bus home even though we tried to drag her to walk with us back to white sands (damn funny). in the end we gave up and i went to take the bus with xueling. i went to the Tampines Library and then to my teacher’s house for piano lesson. she got quite annoyed with me because i was supposed to bring my grade 4 and 5 theory books as well as my Italian, German and French terms for her to test me,

but i didn’t.

then never mind, i just clarified about melody writing in C minor melodic and the meaning of tre corde, which means releasing the una corda (left pedal). after that she marked everything (5 papers) and i did the last paper. unfortunately i didn’t finish in time because we (my sis, my teacher and i) began talking about when your memory forms. apparently my piano teacher’s memory developed at 2! she still remembers the time when her mother was teaching her how to walk. that’s a bit early, since most people’s memories form at the age of 4-5. she told us of a friend whose memory formed at 8. which is quite late…

after lesson we bought dinner and went home to eat. then i read Jude Deveraux’s Always. really nice!
