for once moe is efficient. but it was still a long wait to know the results.
think they start sending the message at 6am as most people got it around 6plus.
just very thankful that i didn't get into sa or innova. my last 2 choices.
but still, what i get isn't really what i want.
4:39 pm
it's cny week.
cny eve was spent at home helping my parents prepare for the reunion dinner. this is actually the first time i actually helped cause school hasn't start. wrapped wanton and make yong tau foo. spent the afternoon waiting for my relatives to come. they only come at 5pm. ate dinner. steamboat. nice. blaoted and high. i was the noisiest together with my 2nd uncle. both the monkeys are so noisy.
big uncle brought his own mini-cooker with his organic vegetables, soup, rice, chopsticks an spoon and the extension wire. he basically brought everything just minus the table and chair. so kua zhang lah. the brand on the veg was 'earthbound', so my 2nd uncle say that it's from space. lolx.
everyone left at 10pm. cleared up, and off to chinatown with my parents. walked one round and went home empty handed. the stuff are expensive and those that we usually buy aren't sold there. zzz. at least we did a good deed by returning a person's ez-link to the police.
cny 1st day was spent at home.
everything was different from previous year. watched tv from morning till lunch time. had steamboat again but the food wasn't as much as last year's. super full. than it was slacking the rest of the day. not really very eventful.
cny 2nd day was spent visiting my grandparents house. boring. only eat and eat. everywhere we go is just trying to find any new food that we haven't eat before. nothing very special.
wednesday wasn't good. woke up not really feeling very well but i don't know what sickness i'm suffering. it got better in the afternoon. well enough for me to go for band. at first i thought of not going, but somehow cannot don't go.
went out just as my dad came home. didn't give him my key as i wanted to. end up he's locked outside the house. had combine practice for 3hours. luckily it ended at 7.30pm and not 8pm. managed to reach home by 9pm.
started practicing piano after 2weeks. practiced for 3hours. posting result is out on friday. my mum keep on asking me what school i chose. didn't tell her. shall let the posting result be the answer.
the posting result is out. the sms was sent at 6.26am instead of 8am. no wonder i heard an sms received at 6plus but i didn't know what was it. keep waiting for the sms while i'm still half-awake and it never come. then dad came and told me i got into njc and showed me the message. he forgottedn the 'y'. i didn't believe him though as i know it's impossible. at least it's expected.
went for piano lesson. than off to enquiry about my concession pass. i have to pay adult fare from february till they extend the concession. wth. pissed. lunch-ed. than make my way to njc to submit the appeal form. the box containing submitted forms is 3/4 full and it's only 1pm.
there's audtion tomorrow. the success of the appeal depends 50% on the success of my audition. just hope that i don't screw up or my 2months of effort will be wasted.
as a comforter, there are quite a few people i know going to the same school as me. so it should be alright. i hope.
monday is the start of a 2years battle.

last day of work. finally.
i shared my bio knowledge with jiahui. but i realised that i have forgotten a lot of things already. it all started with us having muscle ache and i went on to talk about lactic acid and stuff.
today's lunch was nice. something that i have never eaten before. satay beehoon. it's at least better than chicken rice and macdonalds.
got paid for the four days of work. the amount wasn't what i expected but still, it's at least better than nothing.
chatted with her about a lot of things. mostly about jc stuff. the subject combination, cca and what school we want to go.
just as i predicted that we will miss the bus, we really did miss the bus. wow.
treated myself and sis to sushi. nice.
about 1 week till school starts.
wonder what's ahead for me.

went for band in the afternoon. there's a lot of people today. mostly is to appeal in. played all the syf songs. by the time it ends, i was having gastric pain. ended at 7.30pm but with all the talking and everything, it dragged further. the side gate was close, so waited for my section and walk out together. band only starts at 4.30pm next wed, means it will end at 8.30pm. zzz.
reached home only at 9.30pm. i brisked walk two bus stop to be faster than the bus even though it takes another 5minutes for the bus to arrive.
dinner was shit but at least the gastric pain has stopped.
the rest of the week will be busy for me.
working on thu and fri. band on sat. going out on sun.
holidays is ending soon. not sure if it's good or bad.

it was dooms day yesterday. i couldn't really sleep the whole night the previous day. tried to relax on the way to school by walking slowly and not rush like i always do. nyjc people gathered around the school gate to 'promote' their open house.
they were also stationed outside the hall. wth. waited for more than 30minutes before they started the evaluation of the results. it was during the waiting that the same feeling that i felt when the news announced the release date. managed to calm myself and once the evaluation started, i got more excited. the top students were all predicted already, no surprises.
when i got the results, it was a repeat of what happened when i got psle results. but i managed to calm myself down and not think so much.
i just so much want to go home. ran for the train but missed the bus. so i walked all the way from the mrt station back home. it's about 30minutes walk but i don't care and i was even faster than the bus. met my sis on the way. she missed the bus too.
no more ice cream treat from sis.
got my sis to choose the schools in the morning. after crossing off the schools that i cannot or are too lousy or for whatever reasons, i'm left with 5 schools out of 18. if i'm lucky, i might get the 2nd, or else it's the 3rd.
no point thinking about the results. but everytime i look at the 'five' on it, i feel like killing myself.
it's over for now. another two weeks before know where we will be heading next.

woke up twice today. once was at 3am when the alarm rang. my bro is nuts waking up at this hour. than remind him to set the alarm for me to wake up at 7am and i'm back to sleep. was getting comfortable in bed and the alarm rang. it's still quite dark outside but indeed it's 7am already. in november and december last year, the sun rose early and 7am is already so bright.
good that there's a decent enough breakfast or i'll be starving till 2pm before i can get to eat. went for band at nj. met guiyu on the bus. surprisingly, she didn't ask where i was going. had sectionals. it's so windy. good and bad. the scores kept flying and the file kept dropping off from the stand.
played a new piece 'with heart and voice'. i still prefer 'blue wolf'. but still need to practise all the runny notes. so practice dragged till 1.30pm. waited for the bus for quite long and it's so crowded with the nygh people. when the bus reached amk, it's full of amkss people. zzz. but surprisingly, when it passed phs, there's like no student at the bus stop. wow.
got my atm card. but i waited for 30minutes to get it. than the person ask me to think of a 6-digit pin and i just look back at the person like i don't know what she's talking about. what was i thinking. headed back home.
it was only when i reached home did i realise i didn't bring out my key. just nice my parents wait for me to come home before going out. lucky me. but anyway, my sis came back soon after, so it's still alright.
the polys have been sending me a lot of flyers. just read them and then throw away. even the navy send me flyer for joint saf-poly scholarship but too bad, need to take engineering course which i'm not interested.
and it's like confirmed that our results will be out on
12jan. scared and excited at the same time. but i'm more scared.
hope everyone will get their desired results.

it's 2009. the new school year has started for most people but i still have another month of holiday.
it's getting boring. been doing almost the same thing everyday and also worrying about the results. the feeling just don't feel good.
helped dad with the painting of the walls. at least it keeps me busy for a few hours and away from all the noise in the house.
now my favourite hideout is now the library. borrowing random books or else it just seem so weird.
there's band practise tomorrow. means i have to wake up at 7am. zzz.
