~PiNkdELiGhTs~ VERY SATISFIED! :)
Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you that you have passed your audition and you are now a part of our NUS Choir family!
Whee~~~
A 10 years' dream has finally came one step closer! Dreams can be reality :)
So, I will begin to tread the dream this evening!
---------------
Let me just blog about the choir audition that took place on Mon...
I was at home on Sun night and was contemplating which day to go for the auditions. And knowing me, I would procrastinate till quite late and keep putting it off just like what I did to CAC Voices audition. I procrastinated till I didn't feel like going. But for NUS Choir, NO WAY could I procrastinate. Just that I wanted to find a nice day to go down for it...
I thought through and with help from people like Joel, Irene and Harris. I wanted to go down with Joel so that got company on Wed. But Tues we will have/had the IBG Opening and track events and I would be cheering really loud for my fellow Eguanas! And there was initiation for freshies. So, Tues would be out of question. And because of all that screaming, shouting, yelling, cheering etc...My throat won't be in good condition. So, that left me with Mon! And Harris said that there won't be too many people on the first day. Might as well come and get over with it. So ya...I went on Mon!
However, I didn't go alone!!
I was so glad that I had Irene (who waited since 230pm when her lesson ended) to go with me after my lecture at 6pm!
I met her at Central Library and we headed for CFA. We got there about 645pm and I took a form with my queue number - 32. I thought it would be the first day so there won't be too many people but looked like I was wrong. Actually I was kinda tired and hungry...And I wasn't feeling well since I had flu for the previous 2 days and my eyes were red and puffy that morning.
But I got all energetic when I got to CFA!! Paulas was the first there to meet me! And he stared really hard trying to remember where he had seen me. We didn't officially introduce ourselves when we met before at MJ so he had no memory of me in his "contact list".
I sat down and filled in the form with Irene's help! The seniors were really nice! They went all around trying to calm people down, chit chat and let them know what NUS Choir is all about! Once the seniors heard I am staying in KR, they got Joseph, a final year stats senior to come to talk to me! He used to stay in KR for 2 years but since moved to residences. He told me that it's quite alright managing NUS Choir and hall stuff since he did that. And I would most likely be able to get the points to stay on in hall. So there's nothing much to worry. But yah...I am not as intelligent as him lah...so the studying part is another question.
And i spoke to Paulas and found out he is my Faculty Senior too!
Paulas: Aiyo!! Sorry lah! Businessman always like that. Very busy de. Sorry ah! If you keep seeing me running all over the place!
Me: OH!! You are in Business ah?
Paulas: Why? I don't look like one ah? Which faculty are you from?
Me: SAME LAH!! Business also!
And both of us start hi-five-ing, going "what say you say i say" and became really high! Network ah...
But he aint staying long coz he is going on SEP soon!!! And he really reminds me of Kok Yong! Their manarisms and speech are so alike!! If you close your eyes and just hear him speak, you would think it's Kok Yong instead!
When it was my turn, I went to key in my particulars first and waited for my interview. By this time, I was already losing my voice after all that chatting and screaming "what say you say" with Paulas. And I probably couldn't remember my lyrics...
I was interviewed by Aaron and basically it was just chit chat, getting to know more about choir and if I could commit to the practices they were going to have. Well, I felt really bad I couldn't commit yet coz I really don't know what's going on in hall. But he was understanding and said it was alright and that I should try to commit to the one which I think it's more of a priority. I will just try =)
After the interview, I went downstairs for the audition. I was behind this guy who could sing really HIGH and loud! And even higher than me!!! I started getting a bit worried but heck lah! I should just do what I could...My throat was hurting and getting tensed. I did my small prayer and went in.
Stupidly, I showed my super bimbotic and embarrassing side of me when I entered the dance room...
Me: Hi everyone! *wave*
Adyll: OH! Hi Rachel!!
Me: Hi! (very sweetly)
Harris: Eh! Where is the score ah? You didn't bring down ah?
Me: OH YAH!! It's upstairs!! How? You want it now?! OH no! Sorry ah!!
Harris: See lah you! Ask you to bring when you come for the audition and you didn't!
Me: SORRY!! (I was very agitated and apologetic and the seniors were there laughing at me!!!!)
Btw, the score referred to was just to lend to Harris/NUS Choir. It's not needed for the audition.
But I was quite relaxed coz the seniors were smiling and I just felt right/good! It was that very nice feeling! They asked me to sing the song first. I had wanted to request to do the scales first but decided going against them.
So I started... With One Look from Sunset Boulevard.
Woah! The previous guy wasn't exactly that loud. It was the room! The acoustic was fantastic! And there was a mirror behind the seniors so I was actually looking at myself when I sang which made me concious of my facial expression. The seniors smiled at the points I expected them to and that was great! And they nodded and all! It was just fantastic! Btw, there were about 7 seniors there!
I sang 2 verses and they thought I was going to stop I think, but I carried on for another verse. Then I asked if I was to stop. Like duh...I had wanted to sing the whole song. But I thought I wouldn't be able to remember some of the words. And the part where I stopped wasn't at a very nice place. Aiya..I stopped anyway. And I was glad they were at least smiling :)
Then we went on to scales. I thought my high notes weren't nice. Like cannot make it. Must have been the chatting and all...
But it's alright! I am in NUS Choir now and still a Soprano! So nothing else matters :)
I am meeting Harris later first before going to CFA coz I still have no idea how to get there. Well, that is if he doesn't pang seh me again...
So excited =))))
-----------
We had IBG Volleyball yesterday with us against C block. Our guys did well and can go to the finals!!
But our girls put up a great fight and lost only by a few points. It's alright girls! You all did well and I am very proud of you all! :) I couldn't have plucked up the courage to enter the playing ground and so, I applaud their sportsmanship!
I am not able to be at the handball match tonight since there is choir...
But I would nonetheless be rooting for them. I seriously have no ball sense so doubt I would even be able to play! Go Handballers!
And my throat hurts again coz of all that screaming and cheering from yesterday! But it's all worth it! :)
I should be playing frisbee on Sat...Or think that I can play. It just depends if they want to sub me in...And I hope I can play floorball too on Sun! But that means this weekend I can't really be back with my family...Haiz...
I want to try netball too! But I havent been to their training yet... They should just have CHEERLEADERS! And I am proud to say I would gladly be part of them! :)
GO EGUANAS!!
------------
Alright...I don't think I am going out to eat. I shall just eat cupnoodles again. Seriously, staying in hall makes me lazier to go out.. Lecture at 2pm! (I will put my timetable in soon!)
And will blog about initiation soon too...(Backlogs...)
Oh no...this post is long again...But I don't care! >.<
to z!w3i: Thanks lots girl!! We can meet for lunch! I meet Yvonne, Wei Wei for lunch every Tues at the Deck! Join us!! :)
to dianne: ARGH!! SO NICE!!! Why aren't there any other weirdz in NUS and staying in hall!! I miss you all!!! And you are welcome for that scratch card...I was bored. Hehe! =)
~PiNkDeLiGhTs~ S-U-C-C-E-S-S Eblock Eblock is the best!!
Inter-Block Games 07/08
Yes! The IBG has officially started yesterday with E block Eguanas kicking it off and sweeping away 2 titles - Women's and Men's Track Championships!
We got 1st for 4/5 events: 4x100 Men, 4x400 Women, 4x400 Men and Medley - 2x100, 1x200, 2x400, 2x800 men and women mix. We got 2nd for the 4x100 Women. But all in all, IT WAS GREAT!! We kept this championship for the 9th year! YES!!
Tonight's event is VOLLEYBALL! I hope I could play but it's going to be very stressful. And it's another game we are aiming to get into finals (and of course bringing back the championship title)!
Last night after the track events, we had the initiation for the freshies to become full-fledged Eguanas! Well, it was super gross, disgusting, horrible (whatever other words used to describe along that line)... But fun! More about that another time. (Darn, I am backlogging again!!)
We went to wash up until 1am and went to PLAY VOLLEYBALL after washing up! We were smelling really nice, dressed all ready to go to sleep, hair still wet...But yah, we went down to the MPSH and sweat it out! Volleyball is fun!! And we played till 330am! We did some drills with Gerald and Calvin coaching us. About 3+am, Gerald switched off some lights and said, "5 more mins ah!!" But he came over to some of us who were just playing passes and asked us to do 20 touches then go to sleep. 20 touches is really tough to get! We played for half an hour and managed to barely scrap pass 20 touches with 21 touches!! It was really intense and exhilarating!! Woah...from 5 mins to 30mins...
I went back, washed up, chit chat in Xuanie's room with Er-ie and went to sleep at 430am!! Darns..my whole biological clock is turning upside down...
Alrights... got to go get ready for volleyball!! May E Block win!! Woots!!
~PiNkDeLiGhTs~ E BLOCK WOOSH!!
oh yes...thanks all for the well wishes for choir! It went absolutely well! Will blog about it soon! (Backlogged again...)
YES!!
Irene (senior from MJ) is going to meet me and accompany me to CFA (Centre for the Arts) tmr for my NUS Choir audition!
I am so glad that she is able to bring me. At least I won't get lost and I won't be so nervous since I would have someone to be there with me. And I am so hoping that Harris is in the room tmr with the other 4 or more people. At least singing to people I know would be better. I just hope that I won't start laughing. I don't know why...Each time I sing and Harris is around, I will start laughing!
Alright...I am having a little bit more confidence now!
I am going to memorise the lyrics now!! :)
Hopefully it will go well!
~PiNkDeLiGhTs~
ps. My BLOCKHEAD and i/cs changed tmr's game to VOLLEYBALL instead of Basketball!! ARGH! So sad!! I really like volleyball now!
I had quite a fulfilling and fun day!
The morning started with being filled with the Lord's word! Also, Louise and Rachel (sisters) came!! It's been a few years since I last saw them! And I am so glad they are back to JCOC! :) Had a fun time catching up with them!
And great news!!
I FOUND SOMEONE TO GO PS3236 lecture with me!!!!
I had wanted to approach Ruth to ask her how to go to AS6 for my lecutre tmr! But before I could go up to her to ask her, she came to me and asked if I'm taking that module too! I guess she saw my name in the roster like I thought I saw her's too! She was very surprised I am taking that module because she's a fourth year Political Science student whilst I am a first year student!! So, I guess I am really going to have to S/U the module...
At least I have someone for lecture and tutorial (hopefully) :) I can't believe I am going to be Uni classmates with her!!
-----------
Coincidentally, there were many people wearing black today! It wasn't done on purpose but so happened that many of us were in black. We even took a pic! Will upload it later!
-----------
After lunch, we went to Parkway Parade coz bro wanted to make his specs. Mum and I went on shopping after that. We are a bad match at going shopping together coz we spend lots!! Blue Max opened beside the optics and Mum couldn't resist going in. She bought her korean show and I bought Zong Ji Yi Ban (KO One) - the one where Shaz went all crazy over coz of her golden hair monkey. So far, it's been nice (on ep 3 alr). Funny but it's the lame kinda funny and not the truly can laugh kinda funny... >.<
------------
So happy! Went shopping!!! Haha! But it's going to be back to "away from the world" tmr. Seriously, I didn't even take public transport for the whole of last week besides the internal shuttle bus at NUS. And it's going to be like that every weekday. Haha!
-------------
I'll be missing Basketball practice tmr coz I am going back only tmr morning. So sad...
NUS Choir audition starts tmr and I would probably be going tmr coz I don't think I have time on Tues and Wed. And I haven't prepared my song!! I just hope things go well! Wish me luck people!!!
~PiNkDeLiGhTs~ OOh!! Shopping rawks!
Ok...This is my post taken off Weirdz blog (with a bit of editing).
Wed 15 Aug 2007. 23:52
hey girls!
alright..i am typing this with fresh pink nail polish on my fingers and dark purple nail polish on my toes! So it's kinda difficult to type.
OK! I am updating!
I am into my 3rd official day at NUS Business School. But...I have had only 2 days of lectures so far! Tutorials haven't started as we will start balloting on Fri. However, I am already preallocated my core modules so I just have to ballot for my elective module tutorial. Thus, tutorials will only start in wk 3. The tutorial work, projects, term papers etc have all been coming in already though! I will post my timetable up soon when I get my elective module tutorial time. Btw, I am doing some stupid, horrible, and don't-think-i-can-pass elective module!! Ethnicity and Religion in Asian Politics. Past years papers showed that I have to do at least 3 essays during the closed book final year exam in 2 hours. So, congrats to me for bidding such an out of the Rachel world module - Political Science! you all know how much I hate politics!!!!
Anyway, I had a free day today! So, I headed down to Orchard with my friends from 11am to 6pm! Not a place I like to go too. And we ended up walking back to the same places all the time coz we didn't know where to go. What was I doing there??Just like Shaz, I am having this formal dinner tmr night. I know I didn't blog about this yet. And it was a horrible process. But rather fun actually...just that it's tiring.
Ok...This DATING GAME goes like this. A junior is suppose to date a senior of the opposite gender. ie. If you are a girl freshie, you have to date a senior. But the rules are that you cannot date someone from your same block. KR is divided into 5 blocks - A, B, C, D, E. So, if you happen to be from E block, you cannot date an E block senior. You can date a senior from A, B, C or D. You can choose to not date anyone and be matchmade. But guess, it's not something which you want coz you don't know who that senior you are going to have your dinner with. And if you can't click with that senior, it's not going to be a nice dinner.
I actually got rejected by this senior. Details another time. But I have since found another senior. Actually, I wanted to give up and probably not even go for the formal dinner. however, I managed to date this senior whom I am quite close to...Quite a poor chap coz he's a substitute. But I hope he doesn't think that way. I had wanted to date him at first but coz i was fickle minded and went ahead to date someone else. i got rejected coz another prettier girl was going after him also. And i didn't do as much as that girl. i'll tell you what i did another time. So, after a big round, i was back with this senior. And he is a nice guy. He is from my faculty and he sold me his textbook. ok...i am feeling bad for him. but if he doesn't be my date, he would be matchmade and i think its better to be with me coz i know we would have lots to talk about and crap since we are quite close already. don't hope that he is a tall, dark and handsome guy coz he is totally opposite. and i am kinda sorry for him coz i am going to wear heels and he is already shorter than me when i don't wear heels! I told him that, and the seniors also said that there would be full body photo taking. He was nice and said he didn't mind. I know he was being nice. Oh well...I bought him a mug as a gift exchange. But guess I'll see how i could do it up with an additional card or something tmr.
Btw, after the dinner (which is in the dining hall where we have our meals everyday!!!), we are going down to Great World City in a chartered bus to watch Licence to Wed. A romance comedy...So appropriate for a dating game...We have seen many people do funny things for their dates like perform on stage, decorate the lifts, corridors, rooms, doors, give funny but creative things to the date etc...But it's all in the name of fun! :)
I will update another time, gonna get up at 530am to run and train (as a block) for inter block games which starts next wk. So for the next 3 wks, I will be waking up at 530am, running to the sports and recre centre, play a different game (whichever the block comm decides to play. today was handball.) each day till 8am and then head back to KR for breakfast. I am going to be so shagged!! But it's a fun way to bond with the fellow block people and to learn new sports!! I hope to lose weight too!! hehe!
Ok! WE will try to meet up soon ya! I met Aifung, Yvonne, and Wei2 on Tues for lunch! :)
OH Yah! Wish me all the best for tmr's date! :)
So exciting!
Take cares people! :)

16 August!!
It was a fun-filled day of sports and glamour! Ok...They don't come together, but that's basically the most happening things today!
545am: Sheryl (senior) bangs on the door many, many, many times till I finally woke up to say, "YAH! YAH!! WAKE UP ALREADY!" And my handphone alarm just kept sounding.
6am: All ready to go! Where?! JOG!! Met the rest at the back gate and started the morning jog to SRC. Today's jog was so much better than yesterday's! As in, I was able to jog all the way to SRC with minimal stopping. Couldn't have done it without seniors' encouragement! Thanks to Bao Lai for chatting with me and encouraging me from the Biz carpark to Central Library and to Calvin who was with me from Central Library all the way to SRC. I felt bad coz they were talking to me but my answers were short coz I was SLEEPY and I didn't want to break the momentum and breath intake. :))
7+am: Today we learnt how to play volleyball. All that we learnt in JC during our volleyball elective lessons were crammed all into 1 hour! Gerald and Sheryl took us for the lesson and spent half their time throwing the balls. Others were Valarie, Lishi and Ying Hong!
8am: Within 1 hour, we learnt how to play and progressed from nuts to can play! We played 1 proper game till 25 points. Then another any how play. But, I managed to score 4 points in a row! I managed to hit the ball across the court but the opponents couldn't return it. So, I had to serve 4 times in a row! And my right forearm has a large BLUEBLACK now! I heard that they may select me for the volleyball team. BUT I really cannot play! It was probably all by luck! I would be happy if I could play though! I seriously have no ball sense.
9am: Took bus back to KR but ran in the rain from the bus stop to KR. We were back at dining hall for breakfast.
10am: Dad took me to Lavander to collect my passport.
1030am: I got no. 2425. 136 people in front of me! Fell asleep while waiting.
1145am: Got my NEW BIOMETRIC PASSPORT!!!
12pm: Went with Dad to Beach Rd to eat lunch :)
1pm: Back at hall.
2pm: Marketing lecture. Fell asleep in lecture again! Sian...I keep falling asleep in lect. AZZIMAH! SARAH! DIANNE!! WAKE ME UP!! Well, thankfully there was Chang Xi's sweets to keep me awake!
4pm: Went to the Drink stall to see if there was my MANGO SAGO!!! For the dunno-how-many-times, I didn't get to drink it. Anyway, Chang Xi and I settled for desserts coz we were kinda hungry and couldn't eat dinner yet...
5pm: Back in hall, changed and went to Xuanie's room to make up! Siao Er, Xuanie and I spent 1 hour in just trying to make up and look good. Of course, there was the camera whoring!
615pm: I was STILL in Xuanie's room!! And what time was the guy suppose to be at the girl's room to pick her up?! 615PM!
No worries...Just as I got to my room, Ezekiel msged me to tell me he was going to be a little late. Wheeww!! I wasn't angry that he was going to be late. In fact, I was happy he was! My room was in a mess and I still needed to touch up a little bit, wear my shoes etc...So, I was glad he came later. Well, he probably knew girls would really need a longer time. At least he had the courtesy of msging me he would be late. Siao Er's date didn't tell her he was going to be late! And he was half an hour late. (I almost wanted to date him actually!)
630pm: Ezekiel came! He gave me the exchange gift (Chocs) and I gave him a mug. (But he left his stuff there coz we didn't want to carry it around.) I showed him a note which the Fwocers gave, "Your date for formal dinner would be Tat Hsien C___. He will pick you up at 615pm." And Ezekiel got kinda worked up like, "How can? I told Xiu Ling already! Then the guy how? Cannot double date!"
Yah..But I think they got the guy a replacement coz I told Calvin about it in the morning and since the guy didn't appear, so I guess he got someone else. The Fwocers would put that note on people's door if you don't have a date. Well, apparantly many who had a date was given that note and some of those who didn't have a date didn't get a note. A bit screwed on that. But guess it worked out fine! The Fwocers do have a tough job!
After 630pm: Met Joanna and Shawn (he was the other guy I was thinking of dating. OK...you people must be thinking I am kinda weird here...I'll explain what happened later.) Joanna and I are good friends, and so are Shawn and Ezekiel. So, the four of us headed for the dining hall and realised we were suppose to meet at the lobby instead. The guys showed lots of their gentleman side and helped the girls along the way.
We got to the lobby and met many people and their dates. PHOTOS again!!
And I saw the guy who rejected me. BOY! Was I glad he did! He wore jeans, a tee shirt and a coat with a loose tie. Totally not the kind I wanna date! Cool and fashionable...But not really dressed for the occasion especially when I was quite formally dressed. His date was very pretty and her dress was nice. I can't remember what it was though. But yah..They didn't look matching. At least my date wore black pants and a shirt. Typical businessman :) Which was kinda in coordination with me, right? Formal but without tie. That's alright :) I don't know what he gave his date. But I was glad that at least Ezekiel gave me a box of chocs and WRAPPED! Some guys gave flowers and presents but didn't wrap them. I didn't need the flowers (coz I wouldn't know how to take care of them and I can't stand the throwing away of them) but at least a WRAPPED present to show he did put in some efforts in getting the gift :)
The place was very nicely decorated with many stars and a lighted moon at the entrance to the dining hall. The ambience was great! It hardly looked like our usual dining hall!
The company was great too! I was glad I didn't date the guy who rejected me coz I would be sitting at his block table and I don't know anyone! At least at Ezekiel's block table, I know everyone coz his block was my attached OG block during FWOC. And there was Joanna and Shawn too! Basically, the E block girls dated D block guys and we sat at the same table. Company were Joanna + Shawn, Ivy + Wilson, Hui Ru + Yan He, Jia wei and Cindy were from D block but they didn't have any dates. We crapped a lot and ate a lot!! We had speeches by the JCRC pres, Rag and Flag head, Master Kuldip, and prize givings. The sound system wasn't very good but at least we heard a bit here and there. Sadly, the dinner was a quick one as we had to set off for the movie.
830pm: Dinner lasted about 1 hour and then we set off for more PHOTOS and got ready to go for the movie. Ezekiel didn't go for the movie coz he needed to study and do some readings for the next day's 8am lecture! Anyway, we didn't go with our dates in the end to the movies. Instead, we went with the block.
930pm: We got to Marina and watched License to Wed. Oh well...I can't really comment much because I fell asleep about halfway through the movie. The seats were really comfortable! And I had mum's nice shawl with me that kept me cosy through the movie! Moreover, I was very tired...It was quite funny at the beginning and I like the little boy who is training to become a pastor. And some parts were funny! I don't really remember what happened...Btw, it's totally not a reflection of how a religious head should behave. It's a movie nonetheless...
1130pm: We got back to KR. TOOK MORE PHOTOS!! And this time was the guys who initiated it. They said we have to take lots of pics when we get back. By this time, our makeup had already faded off. We took lots of pics at the lobby and then went down to the dining hall to take as well with all the decorations. The guys decided to go back to their rooms, while the girls continued camera whoring. Then we (the girls) went back to our block. While waiting for the lift, we called, "JIE MEIS!" And the guys all quickly opened their half-opened doors and told us to wait! They went to change back into their formal shirts and asked to take more pics! Well, times have changed, men are taking on women's roles including being a camera whore!!
12am: Well, the seniors did ask us if we wanted to go for supper. But dinner was very filling! Guys being guys felt it wasn't enough. Siao Er, Xuanie and I didn't want to go supper. Instead, we went to play badminton!
1235am: We changed into our sports attire, went to D block Wilson's room to get badminton rackets and shuttlecocks and headed for the MPSH. D block girls were training for IBG Handball and there were 2 other SEP angmoh students. We shared the court with them. Soon, one of the guys requested to play together. And after a while, he asked again if we wanted to carry on playing doubles or break to singles. Well, he wanted to only play with Xuanie. Siao Er and I aren't very good badmnton players but Xuanie is a school player. He probably couldn't stand playing with novices.
2am: We stopped playing badminton and headed back for our rooms. Nope...Hall life doesn't stop at 2am!!
Siao Er and I went to get our bathing stuff and went up to Xuanie's room! We had to cool down so we decided to go to her room for some drinks and food (cookies that her date baked for her! So nice right?!). We had a chat on our dates and how the night went! And some other sec sch stuff!
(btw, I found out on Wed that actually Siao Er and Sara knows AZZIMAH!!! And Sara is supposed to be quite close to Azz?)
3am: We went to bathe...
330am: I am going to sleep! Good night everyone! :)
p.s I will edit this post again when I get the pics. So, check back :)
Reply to tags:
to z!w3i: nah...he is a very nice guy and respects people! Really a gentleman too :)
to Dawn: Guess it's too wordy for you to read. Anyway, it was fun! I had a great time!
btw, it's just some orientation game lah...so people, don't take it too serious!
~PiNkDeLigHtS~ I had a great night =)
Alright..my date is late. but it's ok!! Hehe! I don't want all that limelight on me.
So exciting! I am going dinner and then movies with him! It's a whole hall thing so it's quite fun! I suppose. hehe! I am glad I got Ezekiel to be my date. Well, I may change my mind about that after dinner. but ya...I just hope everything will turn out fine. I am getting a bit jittery!! OOPS!! SO EXCITING!!
Ok...Tell me what to do now?!
ARGH!! Here goes!! MY FIRST PROPER DINNER DATE AND MOVIE WITH A GUY!!! :)
A senior in fact...
~PiNkDeLiGhTs~ Wish me luck! :)
Sun
I had a difficult time waking up today. I was very tired from all that moving and fun at Rag. And my body was aching since those muscles hadn't been used for a long time.
Anyway, I had fun at bible class and worship today. We discussed quite a bit of stuff! Andy, Willy and Shawn joined us too! :) And I got to introduce myself and talk to Willy and Andy even though they have been in Singapore for quite a while already. Met them a few weeks back but there wasn't any proper introduction done. They are Malaysians who went over to US for the last 4 years and now they are in Singapore coz their father is teaching at the Four Seas Bibe College at my church building. Andy will be going back to the States on Wed and Willy will be studying in Singapore. Both brothers are younger than me but they are so matured! And the way they speak and present themselves are really great! I guess that's the advantage having been overseas in US for a few years! Soon they or at least Willy would become "Singaporean".
Andy had the privilege of preaching yesterday and I was really WOWed by him! He just took his Bible and starting preaching without any notes in hand. And each time he quoted a verse he didn't refer to his bible and it was all correct! If only I had the determination and memory like him to remember the verses! He is such an encouragement to me!!
I slept the afternoon away. So sinful..But I really needed the sleep.
545pm, Dad sent me back to KR. I had dinner and then Star to Burst rehearsal started at 730pm! The tech run and all went well and I am glad that at least we are moving together as a choir. Thanks people for the effort!
Went supper with Daniel, Siao Er and Li Xuan. Ok..I think I have blogged about this before. I shall not do back log blogging anymore.

Mon
There's another KR Quiet practice tonight and tmr is the day! Go KR Quiet! Sshhh...
I woke up at 930am and spent the whole morning trying to bid for my modules. I wanted some IT Applications module but people outbidded me like really fast! And I only have 350points. So I changed to some Maths Calculus module and I realised it's too hard! I have already forgotten all the maths stuff in JC! After much trial and error searching for a module, I finally set my eyes on PS3236 Ethnicity and Religion in Asian Politics. I think it's a cheem module since it's POLITICAL SCIENCE and my Engrish not very powderful...But I will just go ahead and try it.
I went for lunch with Shuxian, Siao Er and Li xuan to Science canteen! I had my favourite claypot rice! We met lots of people there especially those from KR-Sci. And I also met Cassandra and Harris!! Stupid Harris refused to say hi to me...
So far, that's the first day of school! I am going to get ready for my lecture which is at 4pm - Operations Management. Well, I have no notes with me. Hopefully it would be an interesting lecture with an interesting lecturer! :)

Lunch tmr with Wei at Arts Canteen! I am jumping faculties during lunch! hehe! :)

~PiNkDeLiGhTs~ 2:53pm. faculty lunch
I am watching Channel 8 show (The X-files aka Fa Yi X Dang An) on computer now! I am so thankful for NUS that we have this network TV thing! With this, I will never miss my TV shows! Just that as I have this online TV, I don't have the time to watch it!! Ok...So to answer Dawn and CLC's qns in the tag like ages ago, NUS has this website that I can go to and open a window to watch whatever that is on TV now. I think it's only available in NUS. A large window like on Youtube will open and tada! TV! =)
I just came back from FONG SENG Prata with my jie meis. Well, tonight only Clown (Daniel whose jiemei name is Danielina), Li Xuan (Xuanie), Siao Er (Erie) and myself went prata. We met Han Feng (Feng-I) on the way. Poor guy sprained his ankle while playing floorball and he still managed to drive back! The rest of the jie meis PS...but it's ok! We had fun nonetheless!
Let me say something about Flag Day! KR broke the record that we set last year ($85k) by raising $100k! And got some award for that! My group - Freshies Joanna, myself, Jia MInh (his jie mei name is Jasmine), Sun Yao, Hui Ru, Seniors Esther, Grace and Albert (the block head) headed down to Dhoby Gauht Plaza Sing to start our flag day collections. KR got up at 5am and met at 530am for breakfast. We set off about 6am in chartered buses to City Hall. Other blocks went to other places. Basically, NUS was all over Singapore. We were like some pink disease floating around. And everyone will make a long detour just to avoid us.
We ate breakfast at Macs from 730am till about 8+am. Then we set off to collect money! This is one of the worse flag day I ever did. From 9am till 5pm, I barely collected 2 full tins. And although the tin was quite heavy, it was almost all only coins. There were even 1-cent, 5-cent and malaysian sens. And I was at office areas. People didn't even stop to donate!! And since we were at the office areas, people that we met in the afternoon probably already donated in the morning. And since there were so many people in pink NUSSU tee around from different faculties, there was hardly anyone giving to me. We worked through lunch to catch the lunch crowd and went for lunch only at 2pm. After some bonding during lunch, we started again about 3+ and did all the way till 5pm. After which we headed to Suntec to meet the rest of the E blockers and went back to hall at 8pm. It was a tiring day but I was glad I did something for the needy people! :)
And I am glad I had a part to play in raising the $100k! :)
To CLC: yah...there was only people in PINK! It's the NUSSU Rag and Flag tee for this year. PINK! HOT PINK! haha!
To Shuzzie: Thanks for supporting! :)

Yesterday was Rag Day! It was super tiring but at least we had fun! We had a practice for rag helpers on Wed night. They taught us how to move the platforms and where to move. Ironically, it was mostly girls helping with the heavy lifting of the platforms and all! WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE GUYS!! Apparantly, we have slacker guys and especially my jie meis! They said since we were all there helping, we needed people to cheer and support! And they have loud voices so they stood by at the grandstand to shout and ABSORB the sun! HOW RIDICULOUS! Yah..that's the guys for you...
I was glad that the float procession and all went on well! There was some cockup before the show and I was feeling really sad for the raggers when they said that the canvas may not be used. You know the amount of time put in to paint that canvas! And everyday we would see this ragger Poh Liang painting, shading, making gradients and all on the canvas and platforms and suddenly NUSSU says we can't use it!!!! YOU KNOW HOW SAD IT IS!!?! He was very strong and stood by whatever decisions made. But I was glad that everything went well! :)
KR didn't win but at least we got the least cost production award. But seriously, KR put in a lot of effort and we were bonded as one coz of Rag! Thanks Raggers for the effort :)
Oh yah..lunch yesterday was SUPER NICE! It was Lee & Wee Brothers Nasi Lemak! And nice drinks. And Master Kuldip treated us all to Cornetto Ice cream! :) I think I am growing fat here...
I have lotsa photos taken with my friends' camera. But they are taking ages to send it over to me! A lot of jiemei photos! haha! And it was the guys themselves that requested for it! We are family!! :)
I went back to my grandparents place for dinner coz it's my grandaunt's bday! And it had been a long time like a few weeks since I last saw them. It was a fun gathering with my granduncles, grandaunts, grandparents and parents. All the other kids left so I was the only kid in that generation and we just had lots to talk about. Was telling them about hostel life so far. It's really fun talking to adults! But I miss my little cousins too...I wonder how they are doing in their studies now. Especially since I haven't been there for a long time to tuition them. I dropped tuition with them long time ago though. But really hope I could push them to consistently do their work...Oh well...No one can study for them.
nights! :)
~PiNkDeLiGhTs~ 1:46am. Byez!
It's Rag Day today!
Go KR! GO!
Go Bizad! GO!
ok...The seniors are jio-ing us already...E BLOCK! LUNCH! NOW! =)
-----------
I made new jie meis here! And we have got a very big jie mei group within the freshies already! And last night Feng-i Jie drove us out to Holland Cold Storage to buy snacks and all! Ok...Feng-i jie is actually a guy called Han Feng. But we took all the guys as jie mei coz their room is so much neater than ours! And they do more girl stuff than us! Well, I guess they are more independent that make us girls look really bad coz we don't know how to do as much as they do. Well, more about them later!
Byez!
~PinKdELiGhTs~ RAG RAG RAG!!
I just saw the advertisement for the next episode of Be Strong Geum Soon! It's been a long time about 1 over week since I last watched TV at this time! Well, the ad showed that jin shun and the guy were going to break up!! THAT'S SUPER SAD!! I mean...after all that hardship they went through, and they decide to break up? It's really sad...But circumstances are such and decisions need to be made.
Rag day tmr!! And there's lots to be done! The time is going to be up soon and I know it's very stressful for the raggers. We had a preview just now and it was great! I just hope KR keeps their standard up and that everything would be good tmr! WE SHALL BRING BACK THE TITLE AGAIN! :)
The float is really nicely done and every single prop used were made from Kent Ridgeans! We all had a hand if not a finger at least in the making of the float! KR GO! GO! GO!
Ok...there's a block meeting later for Rag and IBG. And then I gotta sleep coz we are waking up at 4am tmr! My duty starts at 430am and all the way to 8pm. So long day for me!

I got outbidded for my SS Course and today I went to try bidding for gem. GEK 1047 Organisational Power & Culture. I dumped all my 350points into this and I really hope I get it. I don't know how to bid btw! And I so hate this cors and bidding thing!! Maybe its coz I don't know how to use it yet...
Oh well..I hope I get my Gem module.

~PiNkDeLiGhTs~ TIRED...
Happy National Day!
Happy Birthday Singapore! :)
Alright...This year's national day doesn't seem anywhere near celebration for me. The national day celebrations in school would bring the birthday spirit in. And of course looking forward to the holiday. I haven't seen a single fireworks display even though there has been previews and all coz they moved to Marina Bay and I can't see it from my grandparents place anymore. And this is the first time I am not celebrating and watching the national day parade with my grandparents coz mum is sick and bro is studying for his tests and I am too tired to go anywhere. I even have to be back to KR by 10pm for a meeting on Rag and IBG. It was suppose to be at 930pm but I guess they realised it was impossible for us all to be back by then.
I haven't had much time to be online. And there's seriously lots I want to blog about! Like orientation aka Freshmen Orientation Week Camp (FWOC), KR Quiet practice, so many other activities, hall life and seniors! It has been a great week and I think the following weeks I have in KR would be great too! I hope so...
I am missing my friends! KXFZ, Weirdz...I was glad I met Char, Aifung and Ziwei at FIC on Mon! When term starts, I wanna meet up with them again at The Deck at FASS! It has many stalls and I think the food would be good! Wei2, I wanna meet you too! :)
ok...the parade is on! Going to watch it! and then going back to KR later...It's going to be a long night again...
Btw, CI msged me this morning! I can't believe he did...
ED: harlow morning...hope u hav a great day ahead. dun miss me too much.
Me: Hi! You are?
ED: Edward lah...hee surprise rite
Me: Wah! You so pro ah! Know how to use! Nah...I think you miss me ba...to think you would even msg me!

~PiNkDeLiGhTs~ I am a Singaporean!
It's FLAG DAY tomorrow!!
People, please be kind hearted and generous to donate to us flaggers who would be island wide flagging. We would greatly appreciate that you could donate to the needy people in Singapore. All proceeds will go to Community Chest that would then distribute the funds. So, do a good deed and donate!
My block would probably be flagging at City Hall. You would see people in hot pink asking for donations. Do give kk!
Going for block meeting now! :)
And there is KR Quiets (KR Choir's junior) meeting later! So exciting!! Can't wait to start singing! :)
I had a fun day at UCC attending the Freshman Inaugaration (however it's spelt) Ceremony. More of it later. Seniors calling already. Byes!
