Another week had already gone by and I have yet to complete my work (to those who are in NAFA, you should know very well what on earth I am talking about). Sigh... Deadlines are a month away, but I know that I have to push myself in order to get things done by the deadlines otherwise I, myself, will be dead. And because I know myself all too well, I am too damn bloody lazy to do anything!!! Aaaarrrggghhhhh...!!! I am the death of myself!!! What is more, I pray to God and Jesus, and ask the Divine Mother and my guardian angel every single night to hear and intercede my prayer that I will be more hardworking and get things done once and for all. Alas!!! "Time and tide waits for no man..." In this case, girl.

We had Methods of Analysis (MoA) exam and Sight-Singing test, and Aural test last Wednesday and Friday respectively.
MoA was horrible. The only way for me to past the module is to do very well for the portfolio. I was feeling really depressed when I got home that evening. In fact, I was already feeling depressed during the paper. Some of the more important points eluded my mind, causing me to write pure rubbish. Sigh...
Sight-singing test went better than expected. We were quite jumpy over how GTC would conduct the test, expecting the worse; groups of either four or eight singing infront of him. Turns out our fears were unfounded. He made a split of the Recital Hall down the middle, making both sides face each other. Of course, we had to sing from memory the two pieces. At least like that, we were not very scared. Unfortunately for some, they were more scared when he stood next to them, hearing them sing. Later, he made all the guys sing. Only the guys. Haha! :P Too bad for them. It was quite entertaining watching them and a particular "favourite" person sing. So interesting.
Aural test was slightly better. At least I got both the Melodic and Harmonic dictations nearly completely right. Whereas for the Rhythmic one, haha, I managed to get the only bar, which happens to be the first bar, out of eight bars correct. Sigh...

We went to the Fort Canning Hill to check out an out-door art installation during Singapore Arts Scene on Friday afternoon. Before that, we, four girls plus ZQ, took a nice walk straight down Victoria Street to Hill Street before adjourning for lunch at Funan. Haha! It was my idea to walk to Vic St to take a bus there, but since we had time, we walked there. Hahaha! What a wonderful journey. Well, I rather take a walk from anywhere to anywhere on a straight road than a vertical path of steps up Fort Canning Hill. It was tiring. Very tiring. Nearly collapsed half-way up there. When I finally reached the top, I was huffing and puffing and feeling the strain in my thigh muscles. I am so unhealthy. Not good, not good. Sigh... We finished the "sight-seeing" within an hour. So, I took the bus and got home by 4pm. How wondrous.

Went textile-shopping with Mother at People's Park Complex on Sunday afternoon after lunching at Selegie Road. Father drove us there. Mother spent $100 for nine pieces of cloths in one shop alone. Good gracious... Anyway, it was fun looking at all of those cloths; the colours, the patterns, the texture. It felt good. I love colours!!! However, I am not very adventurous with them on me. The standard black, blue and white, with brown being added to the list a few months ago. I am starting to love brown. Yes, your eyes are fine. Not like, but love. Brown is such a natural colour. So earth-y. So Mother Nature-ish. Brown. Sigh...

Charm, Jules, myself, ZQ, WX and LH went to Orchard together today for lunch. Enx was not with us because she was to join her family on a trip to Malaysia after lecture. We headed down to the foodcourt first in Ngee Ann City where Charm and I went a-snacking. Haha! After that, we parted ways, leaving Charm, ZQ and I in Orchard because Charm wanted to buy a pair of shoes from Far East Plaza. Unfortunatly, the shop did not have it. With some help from Charm, I got the presents for Evan, Jem and Wen from there. Actually, she did the choosing for me. Poor ZQ. He was totally bored while waiting for us. Haha! :p We went down to the Heeran to check out the shops and then to HMV to search for Howl's Moving Castle (Soundtrack). Unfortunatly, they did not have it. Sad, sad... :( A few minutes after ZQ left for his band teaching, or something like that, Charm and I left for home. However, I did not go home immediately. I walked all the way to the busstop near the intersection of Bras Basah Road and Victoria Street, just outside SMU Admin Building, making a stop at Plaza Singapura, where I bought HP: Goblet of Fire VCD and acrylic paints @ $1 a bottle (cheap!) from Poh Kim Videos and Spotlight respectively. What a tiring walk, not much for my muscles as it was for my feet. When I finally got home, I sat down, to rest my aching feet, drinking lots of cold water as it was another hot day.
The weather here reminds me of a dessert; hot by day, cold by night. I think that there is a serious problem with the weather.

Guess what? I found my ring. The very same ring that Ching bought from New Zealand. Haha! I found it in my Lees pair of off-white three-quarters on Sunday evening. Hahaha! I am happy. At least one of my two birthday wishes came true. The other wish was to get a wrist-rest so that my wrists will be pillowed whenever I typed or use the mouse. I am still waiting very patiently for it. Hahaha! :P

Well, I better go off now. Will be having history lecture in a couple of hours time. A long day is ahead of me.

Ja!
