Happy Valentine's Day 2009!

Hey peeps, well it's Valentine's Day so there's love filled in the air. Ahh... How romantic. Speaking of romantic, i got the 2 albums that my sister's friend, shu wei bought for me at korea. At first i wanted to pay her back in sing dollars but she say nevermind. I felt a little bad that she bought it for me but anyways, THANKS A MILLION SHU WEI! :D
Well, for this year's valentine's day, i recieved more 'love' around from friends, classmates, juniors and most inportantly, SENIORS from my school. I admit that I DO LOVE MY SENIORS! Cause only they have the X-Factor that is left behind from the last year sec 4 seniors. I bet i'll CRY when they leave. It's so sad... Last year i didn't get much love around but i'm quite satisfied with this year's 收获. But i feel bad cause everyone bought something for me but i didn't get anything for them. I told them, 经期不好，所以没有买. But the fact is that i'm quite broke and don' have much money to spare for valentine's day gifts.
Before Valentine's Eve, i made little notes for my section people as we had choir the next day so yup. I did it unil 11pm then i went to sleep cause i was so tired and because i had e-maths test the next day. For my e-maths quiz, i got the 1st questions right which was 144 something. Cause i forgot to leave line, i redo the question again and i ended up with an answer 16 something. I just wasted like 4 to 5 marks i think. Wahh... Yesterday, i received jing yi's DOVE CHOCLATE. Then i received shafurah's (sorry if i spelt it wrongly) CLOUD 9 CHOCLATE SNACK. Then isabelle gave me a TOLBERONE CHOCOLATE. After that, while i was folding the notes for my section, alethea came in and gave me a PACK OF SWEETS INSIDE. After she left, yy, yan jie and came in to wish me a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY. Then i recived a LOLLIPOP from shawn. During recess, zhi jun came into my class, wrote HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to me and left a PACK OF MnMs, 2 MERCI CHOCLATES and a NOTE. It felt so sweet at that moment. Then before choir, vidhya gave me a NOTE.
After school, when me, yy, yan jie and alethea were walking to the canteen to have our lunch, we saw vidhya, nadia, samantha and cassandra writing something. They said, "Eh! It was supossed to be a surpirse!" Then all of us said, "Okay, we didn't see anything." Hahas. During choir, ms lim came for her session with us. The 2006 and 2007 presidents came back to see us. Jia En from sop 2 also came back. Anyways, they came to give us sweets as well as to wish us good luck for our SYF. They gave us sweets as well. That day was friday the 13th so i don't know if it's counted as bad luck but to me i felt stressed towards it.
You know that we have a SYF piece KEKATU right? There are supossed to be 4 soloists at this particular part. Ms lim chose, clara, zhi jun. yan jie and me. The 1st part is sung by zhi jun, follwed by yan jie, clara and then lastly me. So we will end our parts accordingly. So that meant that i was the last one to end! When ms lim asked who were the soloists, clara wanted to pick jerlene, laura, yan jie and me but ms lim said that she wanted both of them inside. Jerlene and laura didn;t want it so clara chose me and yan jie. We felt so stressed up cause ms lim wanted it perfect in 10mins time. We went to the janacek room to learn and cause i didn't learn music, it was even more stressful for me. :(
At first, we couldn't get our parts well enough and clara was supossed to sing the 2nd one but she switch with yan jie who was supossingly supossed to sing the 3rd part. Zhi jun's part was the easiest cause most of us learnt it before. The other parts were like madness and strange to us. When clara was playing the parts, zhi jun kept saying that she could see a 'volcano' erupting. Hahas. Clara stayed in the room, yan jie had learnt that part before so she went out to pracrice on her own walking around. Zhi jun went out with me to learn. Because i didn't learn music, she taught me and it was a HUGE SUCCESS! I was so happy i managed to complete it i BANGED MY HAND SO HARDLY ON THE TABLE SHOUTING, "YES!"
We couldn't really combine our parts together but we did it 2 by 2. Like the top 2 and the bottom 2. We couldn't combine all 4 parts together cause we were not really 100% sure about it and we couldn't really hear ourselves that much. Ms lim didn't hear us combine but i think she knew that we were trying very hard. When she left, zhi jun left quite a while after cause she had tuition. Then the sops and altos spilted up for sctionals. The sops went janacek while the altos were in the janacek room. Then after me, clara and yan jie felt more sure of our parts, we went to sing with the sops. But it wasn't good. It was just a trial run only. That valentine's eve was a tiring but stressful day for me. Ms lim wanted to hear the 100% confirmed one by wednesday but me and yan jie are not coming cause we got CAs, so it's probably 100% one on friday. Sad ah...
After choir, i went to watch my sister's musical "Here Lies Love" by her Kent Ridge Hall at the NUS Cultural Centre. Dawn and Mercy performed too and i saw jacq and gladys going there to support half of their fantastic 4 which was my sister and mercy and all 4 of vthem were from tkgs. Dawn, mercy and my sister were the essemble choir singing with the lead roles namely, romeo, juliet, paris and the director. The musical was nice but i didn't really understood what the musical was trying to tell. Heh heh.
Today was the actual valentine's day and when i reached school, i got a SMALL PACK OF SWEETS AND A BLUE BALLOON from yan jie. Then YY came and she gave me a BAR OF CHOCLATE AND A SWEET ATTACHED TO IT WITH A RED NOTE. Then i got this PACK OF SWEETS AND CHOCLATES (which contained ferero roche inside) from tat huey i think. Can't remember who gave it to me but should be her la. Then i got a LOLLIPOP from jerlene. Then warissara gave me a FROG CHOCOLATE AND A NOTE. Samantha gave me a NOTE AS WELL. We had choir practice from 9 to 12pm. We did physical warm-ups at the basketball court, ran 3 rounds and did 10 sit-ups before we went to the beethoven room to cool down and get ready for choir.
When ms chai came, we did kekatu and itsuki. For kekatu, zhi jun, clara, yan jie and i went out to practice again and combined with the whole choir. At first, i couldn't remember my parts well enough and had forgotten some parts of it. After much practice, i remembered it and all 4 of us managed to combine without much mistakes. Then when we combined with the whole choir which ms chai was conducting, we had to spread out so that we would be able to hear ourselves more clearly. Clara and zhi jun stood near sop 1 while me and yan jie stood near the alto 2s. It was corract but it sounded weird though it ended correctly with me being the last one. After kekatu, it was itsuki and it was okay but not perfect. Ms chai left a pack of yuppi heart shaped sweets for the choir.
At first, ms yin was bringing the chung cheng girls to our school to see the 'good example' of a choir but in the end they didn't come. Well, it was an okay day today. But i thought that on wednesday, ms chai is coming and not ms lim? I thought that ms lim's slot is always friday? But maybe she coming on wednesday you also don't know. Good luck to sop 1 and the other 2 soloists, zhi jun and clara for wednesday's practice! Tomorrow yy, tan jie, alethea and me will be studying together at yy's house for social studies paper on monday and for me and alethea, we had an extra biology paper during the 2nd period on monday.
Sian ah, next week is my concentrated ca and i've got to buck up cause my past papers' result are not that good to i need to pull it up with next week's ca. The CA schedule is as follows;
