2006 has come to a passCountless memories that will always lastAs I close yet another chapter againI think about how it all began Yes, 2006 has flown away. It felt as if I just entered sec 3. Time flies so quick, soon its O levels, then A levels, I'm going to graduate, I'm going to work, I'll get married, have children then die. Its going to be really quick, and its scary.
2006 was a memorable year for band. What I will definitely remember is winning that Gold for the Band Competition. Yes, we worked so hard for it, SNSB deserved it ! We also played for Jubilate 3 and the Balloon Hat Festival, which was truly amazing. Passing Out Parade this year was great too, our section actually ate at a hawker centre to celebrate. Of course, enduring Sia's scoldings was part of this year's experience too,her insults which will totally bring your morale down and make you really upset and scared. Flutes section would know how terrible it is (except Joy lah ). Flutes rock big time, I love spending time with my section !
A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in a better and happier place.
3 Charity is such a rocker class ! I love this class, I can't think of anyday when I actually felt down. All the crap we do, noises we make. And facing the most unfair treatment together :)
2006 was a fantastic year for me in terms of studies. I improved so much from Sec 2. I remembered slacking totally during my sec 2 year and my grades wre horrendous. Sec 3 my grades were better, still not so good but at least better than sec 2's results. I guess I have my class and good friends to thank for that :)
And of course, not forgetting the trip to China ! It was a wonderful experience, I will take away everything from there !
Standing by,
All the way.
Here to help you through your day.
Holding you up,
When you are weak,
Helping you find what it is you seek.
Catching your tears,
When you cry.
Pulling you through when the tide is high.
Just being there,
Through thick and thin,
All just to say, you are my friend.
Church has been great too ! I remember having fun at our Sec 3 camp, planning the mass together.
And my dear Parables ! I thank you all for being so understanding always. I had so much fun this holidays, and I will definitely want to spend my holidays like this in church. CDC, Lectors skit, 5 Golden Rings. I feel accomplished with all these little things. I love parables ! After O levels I'll be back !
:)
I believe in angels,
The kind that heaven sends,
I am surrounded by angels,
But I call them friends.
And so, as I round up 2006 I would like to apologise to everybody I have offended. There is one special person (you know who you are ) whom I especially like to say sorry to, because I think I betrayed you, and our friendship probably went down due to a series of incidents which occured. I know its hard to forgive me, so I hope time will heal our wounds.
Thank you to everybody for enduring my crappings ! Thank you for being there, thank you for teaching me, thank you for everything :)
Thank you God for 2006.I look forward to 2007 !
Happy New Year to all :D

Oh well.
Rest in peace Mr Saddam Hussein.
" In a statement, Saddam's lawyers said that in the aftermath of his death, "the world will know that Saddam Hussein lived honestly, died honestly, and maintained his principles."
"He did not lie when he declared his trial null," they said. "
Yes, he was a bad man who oppressed his people, ordered the slaying of two sons-in-law, plunged the country into an eight-year war with neighbouring Iran that killed hundreds of thousands of people on both sides and wrecked Iraq's economy. Still, I believed he did do good things which benefited Iraq. I'm reading AC news report, and here's another quote from there.
" He said Saddam was clad in a black suit, hat and shoes, rather than prison garb. His hat was removed and his hands tied shortly before the noose was slipped around his neck.
Saddam repeated a prayer after a Sunni Muslim cleric who was present.
"Saddam later was taken to the gallows and refused to have his head covered with a hood," al-Askari said."
I watched the video of his execution. But it stopped after putting the noose over his head. I don't think I'd be able to take it anyway.
" Iraqi state television showed footage of guards in ski masks placing a noose around Saddam's neck. Saddam appeared calm as he stood on the metal framework of the gallows. The footage cuts off just before the execution. "
So, he is dead. After ruling Iraqi for almost a quarter of a decade. I'm a little sad now, so I shall just leave you with one line.
" Before the rope was put around his neck, Saddam shouted: 'God is great. The nation will be victorious and Palestine is Arab."

5 Golden Rings today was successful, yes ? Everybody did a great job and it was satisfying :) I believe Julian was the funniest man in the auditorium. Haven't been involved for so long, it feels good to have finally achieved something.
Walk On Water Production is a great team, visit their website at

Today was a fantabulous day :)
Not at band, in church.
Band today was -----. What can I say, I was out there all the time, not combining. What exactly is HER problem ? Luckily I had Simin the whole time or I would have been bored to tears.
I wonder how was the HwaChong Concert. Must have been fun ! :D Too bad I can't go. My mother refuses to let me. Which may be a good thing since I get the opportunity to perform again, after a loooong time.
Our performance was PARTIALLY SUCCESSFUL ! It was actually successful, except that, the AV people didn't on the music when it was suppose to be on. TSK. That part was like so boring without music.
Nevertheless, it was alright! Great job Janice, Joel and Dora ! Plus Anne, Bel, Dot, Charmaine, Jos, Josh, Gen, Angelyn, Mag & Faith :) I love
Parables !Rehearsals have been truly amazing, and I'm glad we pulled it off :) Although my mother has restricted me from church for a long time, I'm glad that I am still able to have fun with Parables. I'm thankful for such understanding sis&bros who beared with my inconsistent attendance and my limited freedom of actions.
Potluck was even better, I ATE SO MUCH. So much food there, I ate the swiss rolls, potato chips, tapioca chips, tuna crackers, tarts, and lots lots lots of fishballs. Thank you to whoever brought the fishballs :D It was nice.
Its almost midnight, and I'm sad that boxing day is about to end. I am going to lose the Christmas joy. Ate about 2 bars of kinda bueno, 1 bar of milky bar & timeout and I'm eating Jessie's meiji milk chocolate, but I am not feeling happy. I guess holidays are about to end, and I have 6 days before term reopens.
CHRISTMAS DON'T GO.

Today is a wonderful day which started off at a buffet at Furama hotel with my family (: It was wonderful, and I ate so much till I almost exploded.
Went shopping at night, and bought lots and lots of stuff. And I finally bought Bring it on: All or Nothing ! And my mother also bought the Smiling Pasta Part 2 for my brother.
The decorations at Causeway are cute ! Reindeers :)
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. It's really exciting, can't wait for Christmas :D I won't be able to attend the midnight mass because my whole family doesn't want to except me. IRRITATING.
2 more days to Christmas !

I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR PHOTOS FROM SIMIN, JOY & ANNABEL :)
A new skin for Christmas! Credits to
blogskins and
sugarcult. I also added such a pleasant song from Britney Spears to suit this Christmas season :D I really can't be bothered to do my own skins now, so yeah :)
I am so not ready for 2007. I was on the cab with Dora and we just saying that it's so close to Christmas, and approaching the New Year. Its scary. And I know next year is one
crazy year, with
SYF, piano exam &
O levels. I
dread 2007 :
Ikea today with half of the flutes section was fun (: Ate at Ikea, then shopped around, bought materials we needed and things we wanted. We got chased out of Ikea, chased out of Tampines library and finally settled at a HDB void deck making our souvenirs. hoho. Wasted so much time travelling.
Rehearsals are goofy mad these days ! We'd stay up so late at night till my mother gets pissed. Anyway I offended Joel yesterday (sorry joel !) and made a scene. And today was TOTALLY EMBARASSING. Still, parables rock like
SO MUCH.
I AM FAR AWAY FROM COMPLETING HOMEWORK. WONDERFUL.
4 days to Christmas.

So you think you can dance is so awesome ! :D Last monday's show's highlight for me was Allison & Ivan. It was great. haha.
HOWEVER HOWEVER.
My favourite dancer got out ! Ashlee Nino, you are on great dancer, and I will never forget you !
Dmitry Chaplin, please do us a favour and get out of the SHOW. You and your partner are always in the bottom 3, and every partner you've partnered with always gets out. This shows that you are not good at all ! First it was Joy, then Aleksandra now Ashlee. You partnered them, got them in the bottom 3 and the judges had the chance to pick them out. Pardon me for my crudeness, but just please get out of the show.
Musa Cooper, you are such a good dancer, you shouldn't have gotten out, it should have been Dmitry! Musa can dance way better than him, all he does is go topless and show his flabs. AND, Musa is wayyyy cuter than Dmitry. Grr.
Of course, everyone knows the winner is ____. I shan't say it here, in case anybody doesn't want to know :) Clue is, he's a male ! I guess, America prefers male dancers over female dancers huh ?
Can't wait for next monday's episode !
I know its abit late, but CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SEC 4S ON THEIR CONFIRMATION! They finally , after all their hard efforts, they got confirmed. As for me, I still have one more year to go before my confirmation next year :/
PARABLES :D
sandra, jos, faith !
sandra, dora, dot :)
Youth seminar has been alright, nothing much to say, except my MOTHER is irritated I spend too many days in church, for too long. I wish I could just bust her, and make her disappear into thin air. She let me go for the barbeque on thursday, but doesn't let me go for the Youth barbeque tomorrow. Reason being, its a church event.
Like, HELLO ? She's being totally prejudiced against church, and that's a serious problem.
I can't wait for THURSDAY :D But I can't stay till night, I would have to leave at 6, because there's rehearsal. ARGH! I wanna go for bbq, why did rehearsal have to be on thursday !
START ON HOMEWORK ENID ! START ! START !

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Apparently last band prac only had 3 people again, Ann couldn't turn up.
Tessa's finally coming back today ! :D Wonder if she did buy anything back for us ! (:
Caroling rehearsal was super slack, because no one came, so there were only like the 5 of us, so we ended up at loykee chicken rice. :/
I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT THURSDAY ! :DDDDDDD SO EXCITING ! But I do hope I can turn up though, its going to be so fun :D
And I hope on Sunday my mother wants to go JB ! hoho then I would be able to meet up with Simin :)) and maybe jingwen & jiaying ! :D
I have to start on my homework. YES ! But right now, I shall have lunch first.I am currently feasting on 5 different kind of dishes,

Today is one of those days when I feel this surge of repentance permeating through me. Its like already in december, but somehow, I haven't been doing anything about my studies, or even started on homework. It may be procrastination, but I seem to have lost all my motivation to do work. That, is not a good sign for a girl taking her O levels next year and aiming to go HCJC.
And everything just goes wrong,
for I have lost my strength to go on
I need to always stay strong
And perhaps start afresh at dawn
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its finally december! It is now advent, and about time to do some Christmas shopping.Last sunday my family went around Orchard, but really didn't do much shopping (at least not for me). I would have to wait till my mother's bonus then she can bring me to shop till I drop. I'm not sure when do bonuses come, but I do know its somewhere around Christmas, so yes, about 2 more weeks.
I feel that Christmas season in the air ! I am starting to feel it, not so much though. Orchard Road's already decorated (its not really nice, really, but its acceptable) with lots of shiny leaves. And my house is already playing Christmas songs. Plus my mother bought this book of easy christmas songs for piano and ask me to play it. Uhh. Never mind.
I am still brainstorming on Christmas gifts. Guess what, I am officially broke. Argh. Now, I have to humble my little self and ask my father for money.If my father say he doesn't have money, I shall have to humble myself much lower ask my mother for money. Yes, I shall do just that.
Band pracs are lonely now. Every band prac there's only a maximum of 3 people. Either me & joy, or me & ann, or me, joy & valery, or me, ann & joy. Do you see this thing about me being always there ? At least I know 4 people are coming on thursday ! Simin is finally back, and jingwen came back from taiwan too ! :D
I redid my links template, got aid from html websites and managed to come up with a nicely done up layout. Perhaps if I can be bothered I would do up this blog as well.
Neopets advent calendar is finally on ! For all neopets players, you can now get free gifts from the advent calendar :D
Everything is so Christmas-sy now !
I can't wait for Christmas !
Twelve drummers drumming
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings
Four Colly birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a parteridge in a pear tree.
