listening to // disney's fantillusion :: tokyo kosei
feeling // sleepy.

I'm in school blogging now. So noisy. gargh. Losing all my blogging juices. Anyway, yesterday's rehearsals were pretty alright. New choreography for us trees. We ended super late. At first we tried 3 runs in the PA room with all the lights, sounds and smoke machines. Sandra should really pay more attention. If she doesn't play the wrong song, it comes on too fast. Sandra! JIA YOU!! 16 more days to opening night only. =/ Hope the techincal crew can chop chop hurry up. Supposed to build the blackbox by yesterday but they only managed to tie the strings to tie the blackbox up. G was really pissed with the technical crew. Had a nice chat with him when we came down from the room to rehearse in the performing space. Sigh~ He looked really tired and exasperated. My heart goes out to him. And, I am soooo super proud of Joyce and Yarong. They did their lines and choreography just in time to end with the boom and blackout. Jia You girls! =) I'm rootin' for you - pun intended. HAHAHA! :p cornaaaaae.

listening to // je t'attends :: axelle red
feeling // detatched.

One of those nights when Je t'attends is the only song on my playlist and put on repeat 65536 times. I love it. <3 Last day of the school holidays. I will be standing in school mumbling "Majulah Singapura" in 9 hours time. Got my new timetable too - and it's evil. Pure evil. Recess of half an hour, and you expect people to get their food? Even with 50 minutes people don't have time to buy food because the queues are so bloody long. And the teacher always lets us off when there's like 15 minutes to recess or something. Truely a diabolical hazard. Think half the school is gonna complain that there isn't enough time for recess in less than a month. And I hope they repaired that cursed bench in the canteen. I've got enough cuts on my right leg. Homework-wise - I've finished majority of it. Other than my chinese newspaper report. Hmmm. For my dreaded ONE THOUSAND word geography essay on "Is Global Warming A Hoax?". . . is somewhat done. Got research materials and now I've got an essay to refer to! Oh joy! Hark! Listen to my song of happiness! *prances around the room* Thanks Xun! So sweet of you. Hahaha. xD

I have drama rehearsals tomorrow. I just realised that. . . IT'S THREE MORE REHEARSALS WITH G TO OPENING NIGHT!!!! Oh my banana-eating-orang-utans! I would have pee-ed in my pants if I didn't go to the toilet just now. Like G says, I'm starting to kanchiong already. Hope everything goes well. The last rehearsal the whole thing screwed up. Sound crew didn't play song at correct time, pulley guy didn't "grow" and "chop down" the mosquito net tree when needed. G snapped, fired Shuyong as Assistant Stage Manager. Two ASMs fired in a span of less than two weeks. And Gloria got kicked out of cast. I think she'll hate G for life when she comes back from Korea and gets to know about it. With situations like that, how to put on show!? ackkkk. On a lighter note: G's the guy in charge of Singapore Idol. That is so cool. I hope I don't screw up tomorrow. We're moving to our play location and do a full run. I'm praying hard that the heat doesn't get to me. Black long sleeves and jeans in the scorching sun at 3pm isn't exactly what I had on my mind. But hey, we're the first school in singapore to do blackbox production man!! *beams*

Now, I've got this emotion bubbling inside of me but I don't know how to describe it. Solely because I've never felt it before. It's so alien. But I shall dismiss this weird emotion. Weird people like me - have weird feelings. Maybe like what Amelia says, Je t'attends is getting to me. *protests violently* It's a nice song and it doesn't harm me. =) Must find one free day to head down to HMV and find Axelle's Red CD. If they don't carry it - ORDER IT!! Die die must-have in my life. Or is anyone as kind to give it to me as a birthday present? Me birthday's in 39 days. *grins* :p

listening to // say you'll be there :: spice girls
feeling // hyper! =D

I mustmustmustmustMUST update today!!!! Squeeeeee! Nevermind the Spice Girls. Just felt like listening to them suddenly. Haven't listened to them in aeons man. Just came back from The Chinese High production 'Of Trees and Boys'. Genre of physical theatre - pretty cool I say.

The first play, 'The Giving Tree' done by the lower sec was nice. Albeit short, but the storyline was easy to understand. And the characterisation of the old man was good too. Looked really old. Considering the fact that they haven't had much exposure, it's already quite good. When I was sec 1, we were all no0bs. And I remained a no0b until this year, when suddenly responsibility piled tons on me. Stressing, really. Makes my hair drop faster than eating a packet of monosodiumglutamate-laden instant noodles. Hurhurhur, what-everr.

The second play was hilarious. Somewhat an adaption of The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole by Sue Townsend written by the Jerry Hong guy. I still remember almost doing that book for my Grade 2 drama exam. Pandora. Looool! :p Memories. Anyway, the Jerry Hong guy is tons zai. Roxors~ Must go practice. Even my split personalities of Yarong and Ziyang can't be compared to him although Yarong and Ziyang are like Hell and Heaven respectively. I'm serious, Yarong is terrifying. Perfect terrorist in the making if you ask me. My heart goes out to Ziyang.

Lastly, 'The Silly Little Boy and The Funny Old Tree'!! The masking tape on the stage is supposed to be the tree right? If it is, I think it's ji creative. Sat behind Xun's class people. I think the guy in front of me was pretty peeved by Joyce cos everytime she said the line he gave the "bu shuang" look. The lines were almost the same. But they weren't in the same order. The tree asking question part was ji corn!!! Even cornier then our version. But the corniest was the bee dance. Laughed like no one's business. Bzzbzzbzz. *flaps to the right* Bzzbzzbzz. *flaps to the left* Bzzbzzbzz *turns around* And Joyce was laughing like some loon. (-_- )*

The whole thing finished at bout 9.30++. Went to Front of House to ask whether we could have our tickets like 10 million times but no one heard me. So asked Xun to help me get the tickets. But mel already got them. Sorry for the trouble Xun! Lamed around at the so called main road. There was this tree there and I hugged it while saying Joyce's lines. "I don't want you to go! I won't allow them to touch you!!" Good thing there was no one around at that time. Had to climb over the gates to get out of the school. FUN FUN! Yes, I know I sound deprived. I haven't climbed a gate in ages. And mel got stuck on the gate. HAHAHAHAHA!!! =X Oops, well. It was funny. I should have brought me camera! Damn. At first so brave to climb the gate with that fractured ankle, when she's up she doesn't dare come down. Hohoho. Headed to KAP with Joyce, Samuel and Ryann. Drank ice lemon tea. Rocks. Bought the cone ice cream too. But couldn't finish it for some reason. Stuffed the whole thing in my mouth anyway. Felt bit sick after that. =/ Left pretty early, saw Xun and gang holding poker cards. Reminds me of my dice cookie I made. Will try to make another one next time. Haha.

Nothing much else. Michelle, I don't know what to say man. I don't get the both of you. =|

listening to // i believe :: fantasia barrino
feeling // sleepy

"Soldier take shuzhi put under a pot and put water place ginsher and lynzhi and leave to simmer." - Wise Old Sage Xun.

Eating yoghurt now. I got my petit miam already! Muahaha. =) Reminds me of that whole paragraph bout that yoghurt picture. Something to do with the angle of the spoon, volatility(sp?) and the microorganisms. Hurhur. Total lameness. And we all know who's the one who came up with the brilliant paragraph don't we Xun? :p

This is the effects of having only 7 hours of sleep in total for the past 2 days. I better go sleep soon. Busy day tomorrow. Put finishing touches to my holiday homework, go get my bag, Mich's coming over and then head to CHS for play. Would be interesting to see them putting up Silly Little Girl Funny Old Tree. Or Silly Little Boy rather. . . Wonder if the lines are the same. Hmmm. . . .

**P.S: Anyone has I Believe by Diana Degarmo instead?

listening to // The Prayer :: Josh Groban & Charlotte Church
feeling // Cold.

My toes are freezing and I'm getting goosebumps. Over at Kat's place with Celina again. . . I think it's gonna be somewhat our last get together thinger. When Kat goes over to the States I think I'm definately gonna miss it. Sigh, memories. Sometimes I wish I could turn back time to relive all the past memories. But if it happens over and over again, we'll won't cherish it right? Right, I don't know what the hell I just typed. Pah. Took tons of pictures which are all ji corn. We were all messing with Kat's clothes and everything. How embarassing. =^.^= But all in the name of fun. Since it's gonna be one of the last, why not make the best out of it? Now where did that come from. (-_-)" Blogging at 4.4oam isn't doing me much good 'innit?

Something struck me a few days back. A friend said that i kaobei-ed too much. Lol, come to think of it. . . Quite true eh? I think I've got some hate club which worship the slogan "Down With Sherlyn!!" Think I shouldn't kaobei that much anymore. *nods* But it doesn't mean that ~~Ryann~~ doesn't still get on my nerves. That. . . fiend. :p But I won't let it get to me that much. Ho hum.

Lastly, two equations of all time:
1) 49% ginger + 49% ginseng + 2% sherlyn = ginSHER
2) 50% sherlyn + 50% stoning/vegetating = sprouting of LYNzhi.

Xun, I can almost see you giving me the sweatdrop look with my almost-psychic powers. Haha! x)

listening to // hakuna matata :: timon & pumbaa
feeling // mighty pissed

It is now 11.42am, I wait for the moment when his royal foot touches Singapore. And when I see him in school, I SWEAR I WILL LASH AT HIM. You bloody good-for-nothing, irresponsible stage manager. G specifically told you to inform the cast and crew details for the following rehearsals but NOOOOOOOOOOO. You fly off to some cursed land and don't even let Shumei or Shuyong know what they have to do. I mean, WHAT THE F--K!? Hell, I'm fuming mad. Poor Samuel has to come back and cover up for you when he's in charge of lighting so he knows zero, zilch, nada, NOTHING about what YOU have to do. Urgh, why did Mr Pang put you as SM in the first place. Ziyang and I are sick and tired of calling everyone and arranging meetings when it's YOUR job. And thanks to you, my phone bill is $61.10. So now, I OWE MY MOM MONEY!!!!!! And I still haven't forgiven you for dirtying my favourite sweater. *glares* Piss me off at the CHS play and I will hang you on the clock tower. Roar.

On a lighter note, I found a womping willow look-alike tree. Haha. =) Aiiite, will continue singing Hakuna Matata. "... It means no wooorrriiiiies, for the rest of your daaaaaays. It's a problem freeeeee, philosophyyyyyyy. HAKUNA MATATA!!" I think I need to visit a shrink soon. =/

listening to // Atlantis Princess :: BoA
feeling // high!

Just got back from the juniors' chalet at Chevrons. Lol, turned out to be quite fun. Met Mokxy at Buona MRT station before walking to Aud's place. Stood at the traffic light for like. . . damn super long because we forgot to press the button. (-_- )* Aud's dad sent us to Chevrons. Nice place, though the chalet was pretty small. Got the shock of my life when we stepped into the room. The juniors are so neat! Sleeping bags all piled up one side, mattresses stacked properly. Gawd, made us seniors all feel like pigs. I still remember last year's chalet. Looked like a typhoon just went through the place. The cleanest thing we did was prolly mopping the floor. Then pillows and blankets strewn all over the floor, the remains of last night's dinner. Still remember the beef stew that turned rancid overnight. Ugh, horrid smell. The oh-so-pleasant memories. =/ But anyway. . . Just sat down and talked with mexican wine blasting in the background. I love my 120 song CD. r0xx0rs. Got bored so went to start fire. Everytime when the fire starts, some stupid gust of wind will just blow and put it out. How annoying. Pffft.

Walked down to IMM to buy fire starters. But we all decided to eat there and then we ended up shopping. Bought a pretty shiny hairclip. I'm a sucker for glittery, shiny stuff. (>_<) Went to find new specs too. And I did!! Love it tons. Prolly gonna go back there soon to make my glasses. Spiffy. Did a little thinking and the bus ride came back. You. . . The dinner. . . The transvestite. (-_-)" Hurhur. ^^;; Mmmz, headed back to chalet. Food didn't appeal to me much, thank goodness I ate at IMM earlier. The curry was kinda starchy? Don't know how to put it. Then yeah, talked to Sheryl and Corinne. They're prolly the nicest sec 1 juniors I know. =)

Went to arcade with Mokxy, Aud, Angela and Jamie. Can't remember the last time that I arcade-ded. Must have been ages ago. Played DDR with Mokxy. Wah, malu like hell. Crazy Taxi-ed, Time Crisis II and Daytona-ed instead. After that we all started to get a little bored. Tried to Para Para. Hilarious shiiz!! Jamie looked like she was swatting flies man. Laughed till we teared. Sherilyn is damn pro at Para Para. Decided to have a go with Mokxy. Para Para taitai style! Not bad for first timers anyway. 100% for all. At least it's more rewarding than the DDR. Mokxy and I still can't get past Butterfly. But hey, first timers okay. . . Stop laughing. Yeah, after that nothing much. Played some turntable DJ game with Audrey and we didn't even make it past first round. =/ Didn't know what button I hit during the game. Pahhh` Went back to watch World Idol. I missed Kelly Clarkson's performance! Dammit. *kicks myself*

listening to // Angel Eyes :: Jim Brickman
feeling // Evil

SLGFOT production is taking it's toll on me. I'm more irritable and tend to snap easily. =||||| My arms hurt too. Thanks to being the tree. I've got a solo line in the Irish song and solo scene too. Is that good or bad? Hmmm. . . Hope I don't scare the audience away with my freaky voice. I think the crows will just drop dead once it hears me sing.

Joyce is a bimbo. I haven't seen anyone as thick as her. She can't differentiate boy from girl. Is it for real or some psuedo-bimbo phase that I hope will pass quickly. All fingers crossed. All the stupidity is getting on my nerves. I don't have that much patience. Ryann is anal. He thinks he's some cool rapper/punk. He thinks he's some bball pro. Wait till he goes 1-on-1 with Chu 2. He'll die. Chu power! I still haven't got back at him for dirtying my precious Adidas sweater yet. Damn you to hell, fiend of all mankind. Thankfully for Gerad - or G as we call him. He is one cool stage director man. Respeckt! Lolol. Glad that I can work with him in this production. =)

Well, some thoughts of mine. I can be such a bitch, can I?

listening to // Lascia Ch'io Pianga :: Charlotte Church
feeling // Contemplative

I went to sleep with a contemplative mind and hoping that it'll rain. I woke up with a contemplative mind and it's raining!! I love the dark clouds, the lightning, but the thunder. . . not really. This really feels good. But it's freezing cold. Brrr* Well, the sacrifices you make for the things you love. =) I just realised that the sun's rays are peeking through the clouds and there's still thunder and lightning? Hmmm. Never seen something like that before.

Lotsa things are starting to happen. Now the school holidays have started, and so have the intensive rehearsals for SLGFOT. I've got a confirmed role now. Taking over Gloria, and Gloria will be the masked lady to open the whole show. I'm quite excited about it, but I think it'll take it's toll on me. Planning and being in the production at the same time is so tiring I can just die. Plus, I've got extra lessons and netball trainings. Eeks! But still, I think the whole production's gonna be great. =) Heard the music that we're making use of. There's Hedwig's Theme from Harry Potter!! *grins* And for the rest of the songs we're keeping it Celtic. And I just use the "song sessions" during drama to help me unwind.

Hmmm. On Tuesday we had our drama farewell at Mr Pang's house. Had sushi and ordered KFC. I just took my food and went to a corner to eat cos I felt like being alone. Kinda reminds me of a jaguar. Then suddenly everyone starts coming over. Just what I wanted - NOT! (-_- )* Then that Ryann Seng guy started to act so great again. And not like he's got a great body or something. In fact, everything about him screams ugly. And he bloody took of his shirt while I was eating!! =//// I almost choked on my chicken. For that moment I wished I was blind. And then he just jumped into the pool. Hur. (-_-);; Mr Pang was worried about the maintenance fees. I was worried that I'd get wet. Had nothing better to do anyway. . . Threw Ryann's shoes into the pool. =D hehs. He dared me to do it. You think I don't dare huh?! Mess with me and I will unleash my vindictive cynicism on you and your dessicated ideas. Didn't come after me for it. Smart boy, at least he knows what to do and not do.

Had some Drama Idol show put up by the sec ones. Nia said that the Samuel guy was bit. . . gay. Thought she was just exaggerating and stuff. But when we saw his performance and heard what he said, goddamn. I swear I almost fell of the ledge and fall 6 floors down. He acted as Spencer's wife. And he did a pretty good job out of it. Asked us to call him Mrs Hung. He even told us he was pregnant. =|||||| Asked if he had a boyfriend. And his reply was, "I got a boyfriend okay. . . SJI one! Even better than yours ar!" Well, maybe it's passing phase. There's nothing wrong with guys being feminine. But there certainly is something wrong with guys openly declaring that they are girls. Us as seniors, we all got a little worried for him. Pang asked him whether he need counselling. Certainly hope not.

Then there was tragedy at Pang's place. Yaowei drowned in the pool. I haven't seen anyone foam at the mouth then start coughing out blood. It was freaky alright. Joavan was shaken, Nia, Gloria and I were at a loss and not knowning what to do. We just started praying and crying. Pang got the shock of his life. Hia almost went hysterical. Called the ambulance and all. When he got to the hospital, the paramedics said he got water in his lungs. Thank God. Well, fragility of the human life at it's peak. It's freaky. I don't think I'll wanna go near any swimming pool for the time being. Plus, swimming with aching legs can be lethal. My foot's aching like mad and I can't lay it out straight. =( Stupid things that I do.

Oh, and Ms Wee's gone! Yaysteralize! ^.^;; Yeeleen's back to train us now and her trainings are so fun! No more, "Put your bottles in a line! Place the balls neatly in a row! You must wear the same attire during training! All hair accessories must be black! You must do your jumping jacks together! At the last jumping jack you must shout 'For Netball'! If you don't you have to redo!" =| Yeeleen's training's taxing alright. But it helps. My legs are dying now. Just played 6 hours of netball straight on Monday. GAWD, WHAT WAS I THINKING?!! It kills now just to do the simple movements of sitting, standing and walking. Hope it heals real soon. It's annoying. And training isn't as bad as I thought. I was afraid that I couldn't fit in and stuff. Thank goodness we're training with the sec 2s. There's still Nat. =) And if there isn't the sec 2s, there's Valerie! phew* Well, I gotta wait till the end of the year when Jocelyn and Jamie joins us again. Jia you for N levels!!
