this week.
some things i've learnt this week:
i) the plural of a lexus is lexi. rich singaporeans who want to flaunt their wealth, take note.
ii) one must only take double-decker 88s home. 1 hr 20 min without a comfortable seat is not good.
iii) running 2.4 is like trying to sing high notes. you can't save energy for the final burst or you'll fail. must have a "sustained crescendo" before the end.
iv) 07S05A enjoys taboo not because it's intellectual, but because some people just can't seem to make sense while playing it.
v) forgetting to take your water bottle and leaving it in the canteen is just stupid. now i need another one.
vi) trying to do vectors without lecture notes is difficult, to say the least. and is almost as potent a cure for insomnia as gp reading packages.
vii) learning a lesson from your mistakes doens't make it any easier to live with the consequences.
viii) it's very easy to hate someone, but almost impossible to stop caring.
well this week has been pretty tiring. even though i slept early the past two nights. did 2.4 twice, in 3 days, with horrible timings. so i guess i'll have to do more the next few weeks. which i always tell myself to do around this time every year. but this year will be different! go me.

he blogs! he blogs!
haha okay. i know all of you have been waiting eagerly for a new post! okay well i know "all" really refers to like 1 or 2 people, including myself. so yep.
should just start with today. had church choir prac, which is really more like a sing along session than any sort of real choir prac. but hopefully that'll change, since this is like. the second week since the choir's been set up, and once we start training people and everything hopefully it'll get interesting. i sound like some big-shot in it right. actually i'm not. but hopefully i can help out lor. i got lubbed with cantoring duty for the upcoming mass. guess i'm kinda happy but kinda nervous too.
what else. updated the choir shirt designs! yep. changed the wording somewhat, changed the fonts, and i think the new and improved version of the shirt looks much better (: can't wait to show it to everyone. "everyone" in this case is probably just the comm. hopefully can find a printer and figure out how much it'll cost and get everything done soon! can you just tell that i'm excited. haha.
well on a more general note life hasn't been too good to me, though i have yet to sleep in any lessons so far (congratz me! hee). got sick with (i think) a throat infection, which ended up in me coughing up prodigious amounts of gross green phlegm and having my voice deteriorate. but i'm recovering now, and hopefully by wed it'll be back to normal (it's not too good lar, since i'll lose my low e-flat ><) and we can do our best at cca feste!
kinda dreading tuesday's practice. but i liked sat's. haha. cuz i got to take for a while, since ong chin ee was totally late (lazy bum). got to say some things i wanted to say and got to feel how much pressure chin ee is under. haha. at least we ironed out some things, but the lion king song is really dying. and we probably need a lot of work on that. hopefully can solve by tuesday and wont forget by wed. hurr.
just read ruth's blog. the post about bluffing oneself that things are better than they are. and then convincing oneself that they are worse than they are. and i think i tend to do a lot of the latter. which isn't very good. somehow i seem to need/want to exist in a semi-depressed state when i'm alone at home, or in school, or wherever. basically when i'm alone lar. maybe it's not a conscious decision, it's just a subconscious thing. it isn't very healthy. hopefully this year i can change. and i think i have lar. in a way. last year taught me a lot of things. about relating to other people. about not reading too much into anything. about understanding that the whole world isn't about myself alone. and maybe now i won't be so quick to say yes if anyone asks me if i think i'm immature. hmmm. that's a nice thought.
well it's late (thanx ruth for reminding me) but i'm not too tired yet somehow. well i AM tired but i'm not in the mood for sleeping. don't know why. but that's all for the first post of the new year! ciao.
