Church
Sunday, February 25, 2007
Haven't updated in a while. Loads have happened- Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year et cetera. But I went for my first prayer meeting [Conan invited me to City Harvest] today and it was an eye opener. It was like a concert actually, what with the lights, the massive crowd [it filled a whole singapore expo hall] the effects and the stage...but I won't deny that it was very uplifting even though I found myself feeling a little bewildered at times. To be honest, I really envy the people that I saw today for being able to be so utterly consumed by a religion. To place such faith, to hold such love....it's nice y'know? But knowing myself, it'd be quite unlikely for that to ever happen to me. I'm not quite sure if I will go back for another session in the future but that possibility does exist.
After that, went to Cineleisure for some karaoke with Cai Xiang, Mel, Conan, Wai Wan and Wyntrice. Meh, it was aight. Not too satisfying because my voice wasn't in very good shape and I had to leave like 1 and a half hours earlier [when i later realised that it was utterly unneccessary]. But still, for that 3 hours that I was there, shouting screaming singing with my class/sch mates, it was fun.
Headed down to Cass's house to a) collect my book b) attend some CNY gathering thingamajiggy. Family was supposed to come but surprise surprise, it didn't happen. Anyway, good food and good company [yes cass, you] so I don't really have much to complain about.

Wicked!
Saturday, February 10, 2007
I'm not sad really. Disappointment is a rather different emotion. But thanks to all you guys who have been encouraging. Love you all.
Slacked around the whole day, mostly stayed in my bed watching videos. AHHHHH. I love Wicked so much! The songs, the lyrics, the STORY. It's so amazing how the details from the Wizard of Oz were manipulated into creating a story that can be so mesmerizing. I NEED TO GO TO BROADWAY OR L.A OR SOMETHING.
Maybe I'll just pray real hard that they make a world wide tour and that they come to Singapore.
Bwahahaha. Pigs will fly! Cows will jump over the bleeding moon! Oh well, no harm in dreaming.

Numbness
Friday, February 09, 2007
Well, needless to say, the results were today.
I was numb before I got the results and people to my left, back and front were crying.
I was numb when I walked up to the table.
I was shocked when I saw the string of "THREE"s, but that faded quickly.
I was numb when I calculated it.
No tears fell. I didn't feel the urge to cry. Everywhere around me, people were screaming, sobbing, hugging, shouting...I was numb.
Though I still feel numb, the feeling of disappointment has set in. Because I have exactly what I told myself in the beginning of 2006 I wouldn't have: regrets.
I reaped what I sowed. 13 is by no means a terrible score, I acknowledge that. But I won't deny that I expected something lower than that.
So anyways, congrats to all my friends (and family) who have done well. I'm so very very proud of you guys.

Airports!
Friday, February 02, 2007
Really really loving my class. Have never bonded with a group of people in such a short period of time before. We're so incredibly lame. It's actually pretty amazing...the extent of our lameness.
We seem to go out so often, to TM, to PS, to Century Square, to TM, to TM and to TM...even went to Changi Airport yesterday to eat Popeye's for the first time! I was damn shagged so I conked out on one of the benches for about half an hour. Also had TSD practical yesterday. Improv improv and more improv. Which was fun fun fun! But the Black Box Blacked out again. Maybe the lights there just have something against our class because last week in Miss Norzian's class, nothing happened.
KI today was decidedly interesting because of one of the presentations on Sigmund Freud. Basically he says that everything we (humans) do is subconsciously driven by the need of power or the need or sex and when it comes down to the wire, I think it's true. It's a very sad and ugly fact, but when you actually go and dissect a simple action....yeah. After KI ended early, a bunch of us had a long talk with Mr Tan (who is super nice) about MJ, TJ, the new principal, VJ etc etc. By the time we had yakked enough and I headed down for Choir practice, I only got to sing once. Lol. Then had a choir briefing with Mr Tan and after THAT ended, I asked him what the briefing was driven by : power or sex?
He couldn't come up with an answer. I mean it's not sex, but in what way does the seeking of power present itself in such a situation? I have a feeling it has something to do with self-elevation because by preparing the J1s mentally, it strengthens us and the choir and that'd make him feel good right? Haha, I am starting to spout nonsense.
