Wow. Another "wonderful" week had passed and another equally "wonderful" week has begun. So, let me talk about last week. I got my results for those three tests, or rather, to be more precise, two tests and one exam. The first result we got back was MoA on wednesday, followed by Harmony on thursday, and then Aural on friday. Well, the good news is that I passed, while the bad is that I have to buck up for the Harmony and Aural exams and the MoA portfolio. I am so dying... Save me!!! Help!!!

Friday, 17th March, 2006.
Spend the morning after Aural class in the NAFA library doing History stuff for our group project until about twelve before breaking off for lunch. Went for Singapore Arts Scene lecture and had a whale of a time identifying photos/pictures of landmarks in the past. Saw many scenes of the town and harbour area from Goverment Hill (present day Fort Canning Hill). Thus ended our last school day of the week at twenty minutes to four in the afternoon. Because it was still early, I asked Char to accompany me to the ABC Store to exchange Mum's reading glasses and then to buy a pair of sandals for myself before parting ways. By the time I got home, it was already 4:45pm. And by the time I put the clothes into the washing machine to wash, it was already 5:30pm. I was so late...
Yup. I was so late.Finally got to Manda's place at seven in the evening even though I promised to be there at six-ish. I got a nice little surprise when I saw them sitting around Manda's dining table eating steamboat instead of BBQ. Manda said that because of the very hot weather, she decided to change the "menu" get the steamboat instead. How thoughtful of her. Everyone, except Jenn who was and is still in England, and Saru who was studying at home, were present. Ching was the last to arrive due to her getting lost somewhere in the area. Her reason was that she mistook Lorong J as Lorong M. How joyous. Instead of the usual cake, Wen and Manda bought for Evan apple strudel. Yummy... We had a stupid, yet fun, time, especially after dinner. Talked crap throughout dinner. I shall not bore you with our ramblings. In actual fact, I do not remember much of what we talked about. Hahahahahaha...! Ching and I played duets for the traditional Birthday Song, she on the violin while I on the piano. We played a piece before that. Unfortunately, we could not finish it as we forgot the ending. Haha! Well, it has been years since I last played it... With special thanks to Manda's Mother for tolerating our nonsense and being so helpful for being the camera-woman, we did alot of photo-taking in ridiculous poses. Some of them did the Charlie's Angels thing and others did the PowerpuffGirls. (A/N: You, my dear readers, better not ask me which of those two poses I did, or else you will find a sandal in your face. You have been warned.) Wen, Jas and Lisa went off first soon after we had our just desserts. (A/N: Pardon the pun. Could not resist using it. Heehee...!) Leaving the four of us, including Manda of course, we went up to her Study and had a hilarous chat about our lives so far. Watched an impromtu skit by Manda and Ching. Funny! Hahaha...! :P Got a free ride home from Chingy's Mum. The entire family, including the maid yet minus the dog, was in that vehicle of theirs. A short yet entertaining ride home, it was good to see Chingy's Mum again. (A/S: She was my Lit. teacher back in Sec. 2, whose lessons on the subject were the only ones I enjoyed the most throughout my secondary school days.) What a day... *Contented sigh...

Sunday, 19th March 2006.
Had to cancel a piano class in Balestier so as to meet the new student and her parents in Katong at ten in the morning. Taught the kid for an hour and observed that not only is she restless like kids her age, she is also quite imaginative, and definitely talkative. Haha! What am I saying? She is still a kid! After her lesson, I discussed with her parents about the timing and to my great relief, they were okay with changing her lesson to after lunch. I must remember to stop by Gramacy to buy some books for her before this coming lesson.
After that, I went to Parkway with my parents for lunch and some (grocery) shopping. With my pay advancement, I finally bought that OP t-shirt I was eyeing for quite sometime there. And there was a 20% Storewide Sale to boot! Haha! Saved $4 like that.
There was a concert at the Victoria Concert Hall (VCH) at 5pm that day. We decided to meet up over there at 4:30pm. So, I left the house at about 3:40pm, hoping to catch the 3:45pm bus, which I did. However, the bus driver was drying at a snail's speed, and together with those twists and turns of road works due to the Circle Line over in the Old Airport Road area, that was the most antagonising ride I had ever gone through in my life. Aaarrrgggghhhh!!! What was more, the bus driver was an old man!!! Insufferable!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I got off at Lavender and took the MRT instead to Raffles Place, and reached the venue at 4:31pm. At the speed that bus driver was going, I would definitely be late or else on time for the concert. Dots... It was a lovely concert, however I slept through during the last two pieces, falling onto Char's shoulder, who was sitting on my right. (A/N: I must admit that her shoulder makes a very good and comfortable pillow. Muahahahahahaha...! I can hear her dotting away right now. Hahahaha!) We, us four girls plus ZQ, WX, LH, Jos and Ivan, went to Marina Square for dinner after the concert. We actually made plans to do some research for our History group project at the Esplanade Library, but due to quite obvious reasons, we did not go because, by the time we finished our dinner, it was already 8pm, and the library would close in an hour's time. Oh well... We will go there on another day after school.

Today, Monday, 20th March, 2006.
Today has gone by smoothly. Like always, it was a rather usual day, except that it was a sad day for a particular someone whom I shall not name. Choir was a tad boring. The only saving grace was that the addtional instruments i.e. drum set and vibes were included, adding spice to this already dull practice. After practice, we, the usual group of girls and boys, were sitting around in the near-empty theatre debating on where to have lunch and for some of them, talking about crap, when GTC told Ms. Tham that we were the funniest group. For an answer, we gave him the blank look, while dotting away at the back of our minds. Whatever... Went to Nafa Library with Jules to, supposedly, do some work but ended up at the computer sufing the net for almost two hours. Sat through Commuter Concert a few hours ago and as usual, I fell asleep during the last two pieces. Hahaha. Congratulations to me.
I am now suppose to be working on my History portfolio instead of this. Hahaha...! I am so going to be dead.

I am off to save a particular troubled soul who is having problems in an area which I am most happily unaffected. Ahhh... Affairs of the heart... It was and is never my forte because I am and was never involved in one. Muahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Bon nuit!
