9. go to the botanic gardens.the loveliness of nature and everything thats green...ohh and pigeons and swans.hahaha. -havent done this.
10. bake a successful cheesecake.maybe with oreo bits on top...... -or this.

okay so it's like 4 out of 10 things.i have 9 days of holidays left.oh well.

anyway, yup i had band fest from the 12th to the 16th.sorta like a day band camp...band prac the whole day, all for a concert on the night of 16th at the esplande.it was okay i guess.made friends...boners are always easy pple to make friends with.really.my section was one of the few more bonded sections during band fest(:

band fest fennell boners(:
so the concert was at night.holst and fennell band played for the first half, so after the intermission manfred, eugene, michelle, gladys and i went out walking ard esplande(after a uh, minor dispute).listened to rj's choir caroling at the concourse for a while.wrote a wish for 2oo8 on this white ball thing which would eventually go into the waters at marina, or something like that.oh and we bumped into kahhwee and noel and friends there.yup then we went to get ice cream from some cheers-like store(i forgot the name) and went up to the roof-top garden.manfred claims that the view is spoilt by "pimple cream" on the waters.it's actaully some construction going on or something, so there's this white styrafoam things floating on the water.we spent the rest of the time looking at pple walking from the roof-top and describing them as best as we can without having to point.
after concert we took a section photo and then i called my daddy to pick me up.and dominic was so gentlemanly enough to carry my instrument and conductor scores to the car.


acjc boners<3
okay so that was band fest.the next day on monday the library had our weekly excursion...to the hidden library.did stock check for a while before i left earlier to meet mel, aaron and co in town.we hanged ard the sony store in wisma for a while, bumped into melvin and his family there.shermin and i had some miscommunication but in the end she joined us for a movie.we met at taka and it was raining so shermin and i shared my umbrella(i'm a useful girl(: ), mel took aaron's hoodie(she was like, lost in it la it was super huge for her) and aaron walked super fast in the rain to cine.we wanted to watch enchanted...yeah we're quite slow, im sorry...but there was no show on that night.so in the end we watched mr magorium's something.mmm it was okay i guess...kinda plot-less though.but natalie portman's good(: after that i bus-ed home.

tuesday was a lazy day.i choing-ed day 2, 3 and 4 of econs online...not bad huh haha.spent the rest of the day lazing around.oh and i baked cookies(:

wednesday:sentosa! yup went there with the section except michelle...she was still unwell so her mom didnt allow her out :( soomin and i had to go to her house though, to get the sandcastle stuff.
met at vivo and took the monorail down to the beach.went to the tiny island off palawan beach.we were supposed to build a sandcastle, but the sand there was uh, too moist to make anything.so we diverted our attention to catching fish.haha yes, silvery semi-transparent fishes that swim close to the beach.these fishes swim super fast la.we didnt catch any fish at all, except once when manfred caught it but he thought he didnt so he emptied it back into the sea.and soomin was like, there was a fish!!!
we caught a prawn though.haha it was totally unexpected.then suddenly eugene was like prawn! and started splashing ard trying to catch it.we caught it and put it into the empty pizza chips bag.haha its capture kinda gave us the motivation to try fishing again.i found a hermit crab in its shell, but eugene wanted to catch a big crab.but in the end we left for lunch cos the guys were hungry.i found a super nice shell though.it's like perfect and i would have brought it home...except there was this crab/squid thing in it that secretes some mucus like thing and refuses to come out of the shell.so we had lunch and let our captured creatures go before heading back to vivo cos it looked like it was gonna rain.
see the prawn?it looks like a stick.

my pretty shell.

the sect minus michelle.

at vivo we went to the arcade.i learnt how to play time crisis!haha its kinda addictive.then we drove some ferrari thing, but it was super mild compared to daytona.after that we went into this pet store or something and looked at hamsters and dogs.there was this dog waiting to be groomed.super cute.after that we all left together.took the train with zhiwen, manfred and eugene to dhoby cos i needed to get to corps.
at night the corps band went to changi to 'perform', sort of.it was some charity thing i think.played a couple of carols, ate alot, and it was done.was supposed to go for supper after that but we were all feeling tired so mat dropped us home.

thursday was a public holiday, so my parents were home.went for macs breakfast cos we had no food at home.after that mom and i went shopping around imm.bought my new desk(: after that we spent most of our time at daiso.everything $2.haha.

had band on friday.combined rehearsal.it was a perfect day to go sentosa la.it was like a clear day, blue skies.after band went for cell.had a great friday(: (: (:

band on sat too.last prac before concert.it was okay la.after that had to shift everything from the vg back to the qm room.it was crazy la.took like, an hour.was super late for the christmas party at home.mel missed me like crazy(: haha.
christmas party at my house.it was the usual la.usual pple, usual stuff.oh but aunty eileen, ian and mag were there.mag's super cute!lost alot of her baby fats but still cute(: and she still rmbs me la, after like 3 years.grins.played connect 4 and uno with her basically the whole night.i got super sleepy towards the end though.

today.went to church.collected money for band tickets...im rich again(: went for lunch with shermin and mel after that...love you both! yup then met michelle at bugis to go christmas shopping and get sashes for the concert.haha we each both make good girlfriends man...we finish shopping in a day.haha our future boyfriends wouldnt need to suffer much.anyway, we started out walking through bugis street.it was crazy seriously.and hot.and stuffy.and CROWDED.oh man mich and i nearly died in there.but they have many cool and cute stuff.walked to og and picked up the sashes on the way.didnt find anything at og so we walked back to bugis junction...through bugis street again.anyway we both managed to arrive on the other side alive and started shopping.bought our gifts and took at train to cck to continue part two of shopping.all in all we shopped from 2.30 to 6.40pm...including travelling time from bugis to cck.not bad eh.im satisfied(:

i felt kinda queasy on my home.its okay now though, but i think its alot of wind in the stomach.hope it goes away.wind in the stomach is not cool.

yup yup so that's my past weeks.tmr's baking at shermin's place and then to caroling til past midnight with the rest of the youth.christmas day there's service at 10am with no lunch provided after that.hahaha.concert's on the 26th, also the day my family's going up to penang without me.haha so sad right?but im fine with it la.penang's a nice place, but its okay to give it a miss.still deciding if i shld go sushi-eating on the 27th with emily and friends.got lots of homework to choing before school starts.and i forsee that i'll have to go out on the 28th...hahaha those who know will know why(:

there are two kinds of people in the world - one that cannot take "No."; and one that cannot say "No."

i guess im kinda both.leaning to the side of being unable to say no though.plead hard enough, look pitiful enough, say enough sweet words......you've got me on your side.haha that's bad right?but i don't know.its hard to say no sometimes.especially when people phrase their request in such a way that its more of a statement than a question.and at those times, i just can't say no even when inside i'm like, screaming.

and on the other side, i can't take no for an answer easily too.actually, it depends on the issue that i'm was rejected for.like, for some i'll just be super upset and defeated but that's about it.but there are other times when i get spoilt.it MUST be this way and this way only.

oh well.just some random reflection i was thinking when i read the above quote off this month's cleo magazine.

anyway, 2 concerts coming up!

JC band festival concert
16th dec`07, sunday @ the Esplande
