Always.
I like the sound of that. It's very. Cool. Emo. Haha. Ok. I'm sick. I know that. Oh well. Went to play pool today. How about that? Haha. Sounds weird ar? Yi Mei and pool just don't go. Haha. Oh well. But it was fun! It wasn't horrific at it. I guess that's what made it fun. Oh well.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIALIN!!!!!!!!!
A bit early ar. I know. But just felt like doing it. Haha.The teachers' day performance was great! No MAJOR screw ups and the dance was quite well done. I think. Can't tell from my view on the stage. Haha. THANK YOU ALL FOR JOINING THE DANCE!!! You guys made it SO much better. At first, so little of us. Then you guys decided to join. Thank you so much! Haha. YAY.
Oh well. Whatever. Shall go.
Too little days to O's.

I was reading the compositions my mother kept for me. The ones I wrote in the past. There was this one. "My Greatest Achievement" in Secondary 1. Haha. Guess what I wrote about. I wrote about playing the trombone. I think I shall type out the composition here. Hyuk hyuk hyuk.
My greatest achievement in the past 7 months was learning how to play an instrument. Not just any instrument- but the trombone: an instrument which needs a lot of skills to play.
At the beginning of the year, after much thought and hesitation, I put down 'Symphonic Band' as my first choice on the CCA list. Along with me, two other friends, Ansley and Jia Lin, we got posted to Band. First training practice was a few days later. There, we went through an 'interview' to find out which instrument we were best suited to play. They considered details like if you had long arms, uneven teeth or thick lips. All sorts of 'funny' quiestions were asked and I felt quite ridiculous at that time. We even had a 'practical' interview to see how good our pitching was. After the whole 'interview', I got posted to the trombone section. Along with me were Bao Yi and Nelson.
At first, I didn't want to be in the trombone section. My sister was from her primary school band adn she too played the trombone. I wanted to learn a different instrument from her. The instrutor told me to give it a try.
After that intensive band practices started; it was on every Tuesday and Saturday. On Saturdays, I hated getting out of bed early in the morning. So, I had to drag myself out of bed. At first, I couldn't play it at all. I didn't know how to reach the high notes. All I could play were the low notes. I could have sworn I was the lousiest player in the Cadet Band. Nelson and Bao Yi played quite well- at least they could get the notes right. I felt downright depressed.
I wanted to give up and look for another instrument. I went to the instructor. I had wanted a Bassoon since the 'interview'. He told me not to give up but keep on trying. He explained that we already lacked players in the trombone section so he couldn't afford to let me quit. I had no choice then. My only hope was to try harder- harder then before.
Now I play the trombone quite fluently. I can get the notes right and can even play the 'scale' and make it sound good. I"m now able to play the songs in our book and I'm proud of myself, of my achievements.
Everyone has their struggles and I'm no exception. I've learnt to overcome the odds and now, training is more smooth-sailing for me. To play the trombone is my greatest achievement. I'm proud of it and I shall excel in it.
Haha. I was probably lying at that time. Lying about how I could play the scale and make it sound good. Haha. Yea right. I couldn't play properly until late Secondary 2. But it's kind of funny. Reading it. Remembering the, well, good old days. Haha. How I could only play low notes and now I'm a first player. Well. A first player on the break at least. Haha. I guess. I did it. I excelled in it. Finally. Haha. Such wonderful memories. Haha. What the heck.
I guess. If I could get the trombone right, I can get anything right. Can't wait for the O's. Haha. Psycho.
70 days to O's.

My English oral is over. Last Friday. It was.. weird. The woman examiner was very stone. And she had this, "piss off and give me break. Like I've heard ENOUGH ALREADY." look on her face. Which was quite irritating. She was like totally not interested. So. I decided NOT to talk to her and talked to the man examiner instead. He was SO much more interested. Like when I was telling him how I used to stay in Malaysia. I had already moved on when he suddenly asked me what state it was. I said Johor Bahru and he said, "Oh. That's not too bad. Not very far." Haha. Quite weird actually. But it was nice to know he was actually listening to me. Haha. Oh well. Stupid woman.
Quite glad it's over. Now I don't have to talk with all the 'thfink'; 'thfe'; 'thfey'; 'thfought'; 'fathfer'; 'mothfer'; 'brothfer'. Quite retarded really. And no longer need to go "He has a resolute facial expression. The throng of people in the background look euphoric." All the crap with vocabulary. Whoot. It's over. Now on to the rest of my O's.
78 days.

WHEET! Well. A tad psychotic but I'm very happy. Haha. Cause I got B3 for my Chinese. So it may not be an A1, or even an A2 but it seriously isn't something I thought I'd be capable of. I BEAT YOU JOON WIN!! Haha. Just felt like saying that. Though he doesn't even read my blog. Now for the rest of my subjects. Hyuk hyuk hyuk. Oh well. Whatever.
Keep going, Yi Mei.

Well. I think my tagboard's slightly conked up. Everytime I click enter, it says Error on page the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Hmmm.
Thanks for letting me know I'm that special. Though it may seem like nothing, but it really meant a lot to me. Thank you.
Keep going, Yi Mei.

Yay. My blog looks decent again. Haha. No missing picture and all. I think this template's very.. how shall I put it? Cool? Haha. That alien thing's very weird. But nice. Oh well. Haha. HOLLER
at me ok? I got my tagboard back. Yay. Haha.
I wanted to talk. But you left. Oh well. Better luck next time I guess.
I don't know why. I suddenly thought of you that day. And that letter you wrote me in sec 1. I remember. Very well. Everything you told me. You always thought you were better than me, smarter than me. I proved you wrong. I scored better than you in the PSLE. But that's quite a lame comparison. After all, it's been 4 years. I also remember you said in the letter that you were chosen as one of the 3 I/Cs in your Band. I remember because I compared you to Eugene. And I was like, oh. Ok. Whatever. I can match that. I was Band Major. And I was Section Leader. I'm not trying to be arrogant, but I was so sick of you. Your letter was just full of stuff proclaiming how wonderful you were. Well. I really do hope you having fun. And a wonderful life. After all, I come from a Gold with Honours Band. What about you. What have you? Don't act so big when you really are very small ok? It just makes you ever so disgusting.
TWE: Good luck for this Sunday! Play well yea? Give your 100% and do your absolute best!!
You're scaring me. Really. And you're not leaving a very good impression either.
You're a pig. I don't know how you turned out like this and how I actually convinced myself that you're nice. Well. You're not. And it's just such a shame that you can't see it either.
Keep going Yi Mei.
90 days to O'Levels.

I just came home from tuition and I stink like crap. Which isn't a very nice prospect. I am so frustrated I need to scream. Really badly. I almost want to bang my head against the walls. I can do a bloody simple 3 marks question. Like what the hell is wrong with me? It's just 3 marks. I spend 1 1/2 hour doing 2 freaking questions. How dumb is that?
Now I'm seriously freaking out. Like really badly. Prelims are so near. It's starting at the end of the month. Obviously, the first paper is English. What if I don't do well. I use to be good at English, but not anymore. I use to be good in Maths too. And Science. I wonder what's wrong. Oh. Guess what. I've got Physics on my birthday. Like how freaking sad is that. Crap.
Keep going, Yi Mei.
