well, its been eons since i came up here. =P
it's been raining heavily these few days. i remember a day last week; i was walking towards the bus stop after the prelims when it was raining really heavily. and there was a traditional procession for someone who had passed away. and there i stood watching the entire procession until it passed, from the people dressed in white and sackcloth, to the air-con coach with the kids, and the vans etc. it kind of reminded me of grandfather's funeral procession when he was to be cremated. i was only primary two at that time, and i sat in the coach being rather unaware of what was going on. it was raining, exactly like how it was at that time. it just struck me, as i stared at the procession, that i finally understood what mum said at that time:
heaven was shedding tears for grandfather.

this is especially for "----->" and "anynome" who have posted some comments about prefects on my tagboard.
well, I will give you a chance to speak your mind about my prefects, but NOT on my blog. If you really want your grievances aired proper and addressed, come to me and speak to me personally. Its not exactly reliable when you HIDE behind pseudonyms (fake names). If you could put it on my blog, and you want people to look into this matter, then its high time that you pick up the guts to say it in FRONT of me, and reveal your true identity.
After all, if there are things to improve upon, I will definitely look into it.
However, if you don't address this in front of me, I will know, and the entire world too, that you are making false claims.

wow, the weekend has passed so quickly. lets see:
Friday
there was the national day parade. i had to wear my blazer to school because i was raising the state flag. was praying and hoping that the wind won't be too strong (otherwise it would be perpetually impossible to put the gigantic flag onto its hinges). it was at least ok, but Grace (pri school head prefect) and I had to stand for quite a long time before the flag-raising ceremony. i got quite a shock when she started swaying and looked pale in the face, like she was about to faint. it turned out that she wasn't feeling well in the morning when she came to school, and i guess all that standing didn't exactly do her good. well, kimberly (vice head primary school) took over, and it was her first time raising the flag! good job at that, i would say, for a first.
the national day concert was great! this was actually the first time when I enjoyed myself so much. Ms Gan actually invited all the exco's parents to come watch us receive our awards for the prefectorial board. mom and dad couldn't make it, but that was ok. ms gan was really nice, she bought Lindt chocs for ALL eight of our parents - 8 bars of dark chocolate with some icy filling...hmmm imagine it melting in your mouth, the luxury of indulgence......
anyway, after reception that I headed for lunch. had to eat something before taking my medicine. had the luxury of eating in the conference room because the teachers wanted to have a discussion. HAHAs.
after that, I went for guzheng sec 4 farewell. was actually very impressed by the farewell programme, and touched at the fact that the juniors had gone through so much to make the day memorable for us. nonetheless, i had eggs+flour+water all over me: my forehead, shirt collars, down my neck (how mean can they get? =P) . had a hard time trying to wash them off too. well, after that we headed for the BBQ. there were loads of great food, and i really mean a lot. well, they spent around 500 bucks on the food. ate lots of stingray plus chilli (yummy), garlic bread, sausages and stuff. i didn't care if my sore throat could take it. loL (well, maybe i SHOULD have been more cautious).
after that we went to the hall, to watch a movie and some dances put up by the juniors. the video was really cool, and the dances too. i could practicallly see the amount of elbow grease being put into everything. can't help but be impressed too. everything was just great. couldn't help feeling quite nostalgic and sad too. its been four years. four years since the first day i stepped into the guzheng room, to take the entrance test on rhythm and beat set by laoshi. and i remembered looking 'blur' as laoshi just tapped out the entire rhythm, which i was supposed to emulate. and of course, i just clapped anyhow and tried to make my ending sound like his'. haha, that was rather hilarious. its been four years. looking back, the times shared in the guzheng tuan were more than what i could describe as "memorable". those hours practising for competitions and concerts; the fun; eating biscuits together; getting 'slapped' by the nylon strings as they broke; immersing oneself in the beauty of music and philharmonics when all the sections practice together; the long dreary hours of practice; putting on makeup and looking stupid during performances; going through the SYF together; the stress; the times we had - everything. i'll miss it, and i guess i'd feel rather odd on saturday mornings which i don't have to spend my time practising at the fourth floor of ebenezer, when i don't have to be teased and chased around by mad juniors, everything. i'm glad i joined guzheng. its provided me with so much, more than what i can expect.
went back home after that, when the programme ended at around 11+. huiyu's mom fetched me home (thanks dear :D), and we climbed over the school gate to get out. haha, can you believe it? loL
Saturday
stayed at home the whole day. was feeling really groggy and my throat hurt quite badly (after fri's fiery BBQ!). took some medicine and i was feeling sleepy and tired for the whole day. didn't really do much work too. only finished like 1.5 things out of my agenda list of 8 things. anyway, someone sent an sms which really got me thinking. though you might not even have the chance to see this, i wanna say thanks for everything. thanks for worrying about me, even though you don't have to. thanks. =))
Sunday
I realised that there was actually a LOT of homework to complete, plus all that would come along with the PRELIMS. sigh, i should get started on them. did some maths, and social studies. then that was about all. was still feeling drowsy - the bad after-effects still lingered on.
Monday
national day! happy birthday singapore!
was supposed to go to one of my classmate's house to rehearse for the teachers' day performance, but i didn't make it there - mom had to go for the PAP celebrations to commemorate national day with the ministers and stuff (the joys of being a teacher under PAP) and my younger sis was ill - i think the flu bug is active in this place. couldn't leave her alone at home, so i stayed home as well. nothing much happened today, but i would say that the fireworks were spectacular. sometimes i really hope that we would all appreciate what our nation provides for us, and not take it for granted, only to see it and recognize it on 9th aug every year. they paid a tribute to Mr Goh, and he really did deserve it. I think that he's a great PM, and i really admire his humility as a leader. that's what impressed me the most - his humility and graciousness.
that's all for now, i think its quite a lot
i won't be coming online very often from now onwards. till then, take care!

I'm supposed to be buried behind stacks and stacks of prelim practice papers and assessment worksheets and whatsoever backlog. Ah well.
This was something I wrote on Valentine's Day for a friend. I was just flipping through some of my old notebooks and re-read some of the stuff I wrote.
for : C.C.
sometimes I look into your eyes
wondering what really I do see
the words of your naked soul?
the shades of your clustered thoughts
or rather, different forms of your facades
this innumerable gap between the both of us
surely, its more than what I (and you?) can bear
arsenic misintepretations eroding understanding
bridge, forged over a couple of years
a clash of lit nerds.conflicts in ideas
often I do not see what's spoken through silence
words.awkward laughter.dubious explanations
(people say I'm a bad one at commun-)
And so this day I seek to recouncile
patching up the corroded connection
bridging the familiar void, killing it
shattering the silence
I am an ordinary soul, no
psychic, I cannot decipher even a hint
Give me time, I'll learn to
Give me time, I'll learn to
accept you truly, who you are.
PS: tis' might be a bad pome
I don't claim to be one gd writer
but this Valentine would be a waste
if I'd not penned this today.

Friendship's Tapestry (source unknown)
So often when I think of you and the times we shared
my heart is filled with thankfulness to have a friend who cared
enough to listen to me tell of joys and trials
You're being there has been enough to change my tears to smiles
The subtle love between two friends is so hard to define
it is not a square or circle or even a straight line
it's somehow like a tapestry with colours soft and bold
yet deep within the weaving there are tiny threads of bold
yes, rare and lovely are your friendship threads of gold
for they'll last a lifetime, and then when my story's told
someone will hold my tapestry and turn it towards the light
and tiny points, those threads of gold will shine so bright
and they may think - its just a thread
like green, red or blue -
Perhaps they'll never know that
the golden thread was you.
But I've been thinking lately, of how you've touched
my life just so -
If how you are so dear to me- and I want you to know -
That even if you're next to me or though we're miles apart
your golden thread of friendship still
will weave within my heart.
