"senang diri, sediah" stuffs like that. saw their options forms for the choice of instruments. lots of them have clarinet as either first or second choice. not bad! did not imagine they would all like to join clarinet. amazing! anyway, they must have like the can't take my eyes of you piece which i played for them... haha... bhb! studied with andrew geog elect behind the library for a while. did not do much due to the time constraint. so talked and talked. then my dad came to fetch me. sent kor to kembagan mrt. so that's all lah... very sian nowadays. tmr there is sectionals again... sigh. sian lah! geog elect test tmr... hope to get a pass for it! other than that, nothing else to report. i miss my godsiblings. if only i can have a gathering where all of them can come... hmmm, belated birthday party maybe. when all of us has the time, maybe i will do just that. what about chinese new year? anyone who wants to come to my house for chinese new year? my mum will be cooking lots of mouth-watering food. tell me asap! thanks peeps! cya! manddaw

"boy, throw the pieces of paper into the dustbin before you leave." i was like... do it yourself u pig-faced. dun bug me! he called me again and i ignored him... he then halt me but i ran away! freaking pig! grrrrrrrr! the people in band are pissing me already and that ugly faced man had to of all times appear! my life is just so bad! i hate you qms! u better not provoke me for the next week! i will snap and i mean it! idiots! went home with kelly and we talked a lot on the bus. about valerie, marco, serene, trombone section etc. then sang lots of songs while walking home. felt really peaceful. now going to talk to shazana! cya peeps... feel much better now. haha... but will still ignore the qms! thanks kelly and shaz for enduring my temper today! manddaw

tanjong katong secondary school... a school with a lousy system. the clerks in the general office are there for no particular reason. they just sit there and enjoy the aircon. what is this! that day when i went with shuuji to collect his ic, the people there were so high and mighty. so what if they are 30 over years old. they push the job around to the other clerks and show off their "look at me for what? you want something, you come to me" kind of look. that was what happened to shuuji. the malay woman (mdm norazah) literally asked shuuji to go to her when she wasn't even doing anything. why can't she take a file and walk to us. pathetic! the only decent person is the general office is mr ernest fu. why can't all of them follow his good working attitude? whatever! the second person who should go get a life is mohammad. just becos we stayed in class, doesn't mean he has to chase us out. initially he told us we could take out time to go for recess cos we have PE before recess, then he changes his mind and chases us out when we haven even changed. and he stares at us like we owe him something. why not let the dm do the patrolling of the sec 4 levels. i prefer her over u, u toot! go to the sec 1 level, i guess they adore u more. ur face looks like some squashed pig's face. accept the fact that we dun like you at all. and since this is our last year, it is also our rebel year. i will bring sweet drinks to class, i will eat in class and u can't do anything to stop me! so bug off! the sec 3s also piss me off by staring at us during recess. hey, mind u! we are sec 4s, dun chase us out cos we are rebels like it or not! i agree with sally that our school is filled with assholes. no matter how much i criticise them, i will never be appeased. they will still be the irritants! we were made to fill up our choices forms and i put photography first, archery second and rollerblading third. if i end up taking archery, i will get hold of the bow and arrow, and the first person i will shoot first is that mohammad. sigh, why must i suffer with people like them. anyway, also had CE lesson with anwari and was made to fill up forms on our goals. at the moment, i just want to concentrate on my studies and after 'o' levels, i want to join kevin, if i can, in SYO. life now is so dull and stressful. tests and remedials every single day... sigh! this is definitely a sigh of distress and desperation. whatever. i am done complaining. so now onto the better things in life. must acknowledge some friends: .shuuji. thanks for being my companion and good friend. dunno how to survive without you around. continue to be the bitchy person i know. you will always be my best friend. after we graduate, must continue to look for me k. oh, we shall go to australia together and study there! :p .andrew. i still need your help in maths... so dun run away! thanks for all the tips and help given for the past three years... last year to endure all of my crap. but we still meet up all the time i hope. take care ya! u plump freak... haha. .anisa. sitting beside you has been a joy. sometimes see the happy and sad side of you. thanks for being a lame friend who is always there to cheer me up. let's bully shuuji together k... our best punchbag! .sally & christine. the lame duo. have to endure ur crap but still a pleasure knowing you. stay lame but pls control yourselves. we must go out and eat a lot k... parkway parade. watch movies at suntec and stuffs like that. my two good friends in front of me... oh christine, ur hair has charges... can stand up. haha. lame sia! nice standing hair. stay crappy! .beatrice. my good friend. good for bullying though and punching... haha. the very hardworking librarian of the band. thanks for all the memories. you lame girl. must continue to play ur base clarinet well and inspire others with your dilligent spirit! .happy family. must always eat and eat k... the back of the canteen will forever be ours. 2g'2003 peeps. huiying, andrea, andrew, audrey, stanley... thanks for always being there! .adrian. my great big brother. caring and always good for teasing. must look for me k. manddaw

they will probably say, "only go for saturday, no time to play ur clarinet already!" i am not going to bother already. study is more impt. out of 24 hours a day, i am in school like for half a day. remedials, tests, cca. band on saturday is even better. some schools only have it from 8am - 1pm. tk band has it from 9am - 6pm. ridiculous! let's not elaborate. just hope the school let's us rest. we desperately need it... or else all of us will start sleeping in school. got back chemistry marks just now during the remedial... 84/100 which is an A1. but i am not gloating over this small test. hope to get high A1 for 'o' levels, that would be great, then my overall combined science marks would be a distinction. haven gotten back my physics... hope i pass. lots of people passed i think... i am desperate too. got 10/15 differentiation test. will continue to work hard. as for now, i do not have to stay back with miss tan for extra lessons. dun mind helping sally out with differentiation... love the chapter. other than that, i will need shuuji's help and andrew's help more. getting lazy to blog already. tmr there is band till 6... sian sian sian! well, zhihan is already in auzzie... can't wait for her to return. then i can disturb her again. missing her already. as for tmr, feel like not coming to school. really lethargic! test tmr, better go study. chao! manddaw

you wanna know why? well... melissa dropped her clarinet from the third story of the school. and she did not tell me. what kind of a person is she? irresponsible, irritating, arrogant, annoying, idiotic... what else? she is one major problem in my section and i am telling the world out there that i am going to give up soon! she dropped her freaking clarinet from the third story and it was ruth and the whole trombone section who saw it. thanks ruth for telling me about it... or i would not have known. will take drastic actions against her. hmmm...punishments? lemme see... i am not going to be sadistic but well, either 20 rounds around the technical block or hentak for half an hour... u choose! she has no reason to not do. so what if her skin is like that... i will let her rest and take breaks. but dropping the clarinet is just too big a price to pay. even if she does not feel the pain, i do! think of it... this is not the first time! it is the second! or maybe more. she dropped her clarinet during the concert rehearsal i think... shazana told me and she got so angry! however i gave her a chance. and she threw her second and final chance away. think of the price... it costs at least a thousand bucks for that clarinet and she drops it like it is just a feather! imagine what chia will think...! careless person! and why should she drop it in the first place. she should not be twirling her instrument cos it is not outdoor. i just dun know what to do now! my heart bleeds for her clarinet... i will never let her touch my clarinet! forget it! she is so careless. if she ever touches my clarinet or drops it, i am going to blast at her. look at her clarinet and mine, she does not even take care of hers... the keys are so black! we'll see about the punishments on saturday's band practice. zhihan is going to australia to study this thursday. so i plan to go to the airport to see her off... but i must ask for permission to come late to school. maybe tmr i will see mrs chan and ask her. sigh, will miss her lots. soon my turn to go too... then maybe will see her there! can't wait! friday is hari raya, so i will probably be going out to watch phantom of the opera with sally, anisa and christine. heard it is a very nice show... must watch it asap! band is starting to have many practices again... but i wanna study for my o levels. everyone thinks the same i hope. tkss never allows us to put our priorities right... cca is definitely not the first on my list. i wanna do well and go to a good JC. not fail badly becos of band. i don't want to miss any of my tuition classes just because i have to go for band. i would gladly not join SYF if this goes on. studying is the most important. so band has to come 2nd. Follow shuuji and put my choice of schools here. 1. Temasek JC 2. Tampines JC 3. Anglo-Chinese JC (not becos of marco, so dun be an idiot) 4. Meridian JC must work really hard this year... very desperate! worse come to worse, go overseas lor! well, we'll see about that! manddaw

NO... COS I AM A BAND MEMBER! what to do! if i say i don't want to join syf, mr chia will complain. if i join, parents will nag and threaten to see the principal. is it worth it? i dun want to jeopardise my studies just for band. i really desperately want to get at least 12 and below for 'o' levels. sigh... my life is just so confusing! how? how? how? tell me! should i join band or not? will think about it, especially since this is my last year. there was the cca recruitment last saturday. sad to announce that 79 toots joined band... what's so great? it is just a cca which never gives people time to study! well, though the glory is there and we win gold and the best display band... it is through sheer hard work k... dun think it is so easy to win. and dun rely on your seniors cos they will not always be there for you. people just take forgranted the glory and are complacent all the time. if they had been complacent even before the july competition, other bands would have easily won the best display band. so you see, attitude problems like this can change your fate! well, we played some of the concert songs that day and went to attract the sec 1s. whatever it is, i wish the band all the best! we have to decorate our school tables for no reason. pls, this is our stress year and the lame school wants us to do it. anyway, i haven really decorated. only printed some pictures of my friends. come see my table if you like. not many band pictures though. saw romario, kenneth, michelle and miner just now. and they complained about one of the juniors. quite rude. dun think any juniors in the past dared to be rude to the seniors... especially wahidah, bee hwee etc. no cos they were scared of them... but now, juniors can even tell me they dun want to shift from which part to another. what kind of generation is this. i can go crazy! and that melissa, keep on asking me for scores when she is only in sec 2. yah, i know she is enthusiastic to play the clarinet, but can't she see that she is not up to the standard yet... pls be realistic! and she kept on talking when mr chia was helping the brasses. what is her problem? plain rude! anyway, had flag day today and had to wake up early at 6.30am. met up with valerie, kelly at KFC bedok too. practically lots of tk and tpjc peeps were there. then we went ard collecting donations for the tsunami victims. went to bedok south that area. then, ruth was so enthu. kept on running around asking people for donations. as for me, was enthu for the first 15 mins only... haha, then after that let felicia and ruth carry the tins. oh, we were quite kiasu. we even went to the carparks. when a driver drove in and parked his car, we would go up to the car and ask, "would you like to donate to the tsunami victims?" then many of them would just take out some money and walk away... there was a chinese lady (emphasize on chinese) who came out of her mercedes benz car and donated 5 bucks. not bad lah... but other chinese people either gave 10cents... or just brushed us off... what kind of attitude is that? stingy people...! malays were better... they were generous... am i being a racist? whatever... then went to siglap to get donations too. btw, u know what varun called all of us there... "certified beggars!" haha... pathetic! wanted to ask my relatives to donate but they were all out. to cut the story short, went back to bedok central. returned the tins, had KFC with band members. the whole KFC was full... mostly tk band members, tpjc students and some others. then went for band lor... then got angry with the sec 2s for making so much noise. let them have special one-to-one coaching by the third clarinet seniors also have to choose who they want. melissa asked me, "can i not pair up with huijin cos she does not like me?" i was like... NO! then she diam! dunno what to do liao... since they want a better coachers, call weiling back lor... they will surely improve. i'm speechless lor...! haha. well, gtg le. take care! manddaw

went to aunt delia's house for watchnight service. had dinner at the function room, then went to the house to watch the matrix trilogy with my godbrother korkor alex, korkor clive and minmin, and their friends. so we ate lots of chips and sat down on the sofa with the aircon on. indulge. ate lots and drank lots. i had coke while the older peeps had wine. all their faces were red. well, korkor alex did not allow me to drink cos still too young. we sat there for 4 hours, watching and eating. i felt quite bad cos we were enjoying ourselves while many out there were suffering and moaning over the deaths of their kins. so 10 minutes before the new year, i wasn't watching the movie. however, i was praying for tons of people out there. like my godbrothers and godsisters, relatives and family. well, was very sleepy by then, so almost slept at his house. but in the end, i still went home. school is starting already and my birthday is on the 2nd day of school. 4th jan. sad life! people, collect your christmas presents from me k... christine, adrian, huimin, anisa, shuuji etc. thank god for all my friends too... well, i am starting to be lazy again... so.......... chao! all the best people. may the new year be filled with good cheer. take care! manddaw
