Went to catch Harry Potter and the Half-blood prince with Leon, Krister, KanXuan, Jonah and Louis on Friday. Gosh! I felt really awkward initially as I was the only female there.. After a while the awkwardness subsided - thankfully.
We met up at about 4pm and the movie ended at about 7.20pm. We then proceeded to Ion where we planned to have dinner. however, the place was awfully crowded so we wandered aimlessly for quite a while as none of us could decide where to have dinner. Finally, we decided to have it at Billy Bombers at Cathay. The journey to Cathay was hilarious. The guys were all making fun of each other. Dinner was rather eventful as well, especially the part where the soup of the day was not served. When we finally finished dinner, it was already about 10pm. So, we proceeded to the bus stop to head home. And, yeah, the bus ride was eventful - for me. It was totally embarrassing. I bumped my head really hard on the roof and it hurt a lot. It was so not funny. Also, I was rather afraid as it was my first time taking that bus. Honestly, I was contemplating on whether or not I should just call my dad to come pick me up. However, I did not want to look like someone really pampered. Thus, I decided against it and went along with the flow. Thankfully, I managed to reach home.
Oh! By the way, I am really ecstatic as I got shortlisted for two interviews. At the same time, I am really nervous. I really hope that things do go well.

Today, I think I actually laughed - really laughed - for the first time this week. Everything has been so hectic lately, making me so tired. Even a few friends who are not really close to me have asked me if there was anything thing wrong and told me not to be too stressed out. I appreciate your concern. Thank you.
Most importantly, I want to apologise to anyone who felt affected by my mood. I did try to cheer up but those moments only last for a minute or so.
I have to think really quickly, move really quickly and all things must be fast or I would not have time for other things. I guess I'm currently undergoing training for future challenges.
And I have a feeling that This pace is not going to slow down at least till the end of this year!

I came across a piece of news that really upset me today. I really made me realise that some people are really not as simple as they appear to be. People whom I once thought to be mature and responsible proved to be just the opposite. What happened was no laughing matter. It is nothing to be proud of. Honestly, I was disappointed and...well, i guess it's safe to say disgusted as well. You knew all along what was going to happen. You could have prevented it. So why didn't you? If the circumstances were just twisted a little, the consequences would have been disastrous and no one would be able to compensate for the loss and misery that would follow.How can a responsible and rational person let this occur. If I were to be placed in your shoes, I would even let the matter come close to it. I would put a stop to it because I know that that is the right thing to do. I will never hurt anyone because of my irresponsibility or immaturity.
Really, I do not know how to see you anymore. I may not be directly involved in this matter but even being a bystander, I can't tolerate what had happened, I don't understand how the people directly involved in this can stand along the sidelines and do nothing.
For once, I think I actually allowed myself to be deceived by what I see on the surface. I take my words back. If something like that is allowed to happened even when he is around, he is totally not trustworthy!

My nerves have finally calmed down a little. Today was exceptionally stressful. Lots of information were given to us, I was worried about something, we have a test tomorrow, and there was the oral exams a while ago. It's pretty insane really.
I am not someone who excels in my MT so, waiting for my turn this afternoon was nerve-wrecking. My friends around me did calm me down a little, but everytime someone moves forward, my heart seemed to beat harder. Thankfully, the passage was not as difficult as I had expected. I don't think I'll do exceptionally well, but I don't think I'll do badly either.
I have a cereer workshop to attend tomorrow. I wonder what it will be like. Hope that it is interesting and maybe, I might even get to know more about my ambition.

Haven't been blogging for a long time... I've been really busy with school as well as my personal life.
In the past few weeks, I've been thinking a lot. I'm thinking of reverting back to my old self, but honestly, I don't think it is good for me or my peers. I used to be cold and pretty well, rebellious. Once I entered secondary school, I decided to change. Now, I laugh a lot. It is a big change I know, but these are part of who I am.
Anyway, I miss the choir and carefree schedule I used to enjoy. Everything is really hectic now especially with the exam stress coupled with the H1N1 virus. I do hope that this problem will be solved soon. I really don't want to miss lessons.
Other than these few problems, everything has been fine and pretty much monotonous. I have finished writing twelve songs and now we are working on our music as well as doing some editing. We do hope to meet our end-of-year deadline! Press on!
