Delight in simple things!

Great... I thought I was being very hardworking and signed up for this presentation and leadership course by 3 toastmasters alumni. And I must admit it was due to peer pressure that I ended up here. And now, the few who asked me to come are not coming anymore...cheated do I feel?

Sometimes I think this course is good, but sometimes I don't think it is. I feel really stressed coming here. There's like so many other things to do back in my room and yet, here, I give in 3 hours every tuesday (frankly speaking, this is the only 4th lesson I'm here). The 3 instructors are contradicting themselves and arguing as we do our work. And criticizing using a really mean tone. I am like glaring at them so often.

And I hate the fact that they force us to do a speech. urgh..i should have known...

I'm addicted to this thanks to Harris : ) 

I'm really looking forward to performing it!! 

Loves,

~PiNkDeLiGhTs~ I'm proud of you, Harris : )

Every night has been sleep at 3,4 am and wake up at 8,9 am. What a terrible lifestyle. And last night, I started dozing off at my presentation preparation, which I had to push it to today to finish coz presentation was in the afternoon!

The MA presentation went all smoothly and we finished class 45 mins before time! : ) Thanks to Yue Jia, Ling Long, Kimberlyn, Hui Fang and Wai Yip for being such great MA group mates! I'm glad we managed to work together to complete these 2 presentations! :)

Voice class was good :) Uncle Toh got us to learn about airflow and making our sounds less jagged. We used 5 Hebrew Love Songs tenors and sops parts :) I am loving VV'09 now!!!

Choir practice was even better! Sectionals were so so...with struggles of learning "Do I Make You Proud". Yes!! I am very glad that we are learning this song. Not heard of it before till Xianling told us it's by Taylor Hicks!! And so, it's on my iMeem on and on and on..But I am looking forward to performing this song : ) Well done Harris on the arrangement of songs : )

Uncle Toh took us for combines. For the first time, I sat down for 1+ hr of choir practice! He refused to let us stand up till we were ready to combine! Haha! For once we were all aching and hoping of standing up!!

Combines was great!! : )

After comm meeting and packing up, Juat, Harris, Michyyeoh, PeiSuen, Adit and myself stayed back to play around with the piano. Adit's hands are just fabulous! He just played the piano part for DIMYP with the choral score and waaalllaaa : ) The accompaniment!! He rocks!!

Supper after that at Holland V! And Halloween hunting for some stuff after that : ) Next Thur's is HALLOWEEN PARTY for NUS Choir!! :)

Thanks Michyyeoh for the ride back! You must be tired driving the whole bunch of us back to NUS!

And I'm the new addition to the lala family! The lala parents just decided to adopt me! haha!! Bimbo Juat! Haha!!

Think again if you find him familiar : )

After the recee, Harris and I went to Novena for lunch. Met Nadiah there for lunch too and we walked to United Square for Ben and Jerry's :) 

This was supper treat bought by Weewen, my new laoban, for last night's first official meeting with my other Marketing Executive, Piuzy : )

Given the many exciting things that happened during the mid sem break in Sept and all the meetings/outings/foooood/buffets with hallmates (ame, lix, se, ethel, lean!) and of coz WEIRDZ :)

Didn't get to meet up with KXFZ (10 Oct) coz of the preparation for the charity concert the next day. It was really tiring performing at the charity concert, especially singing in Jubilee Hall.

Have been going through like lots of emotion ups and downs and I guess next few weeks is going to be worse with all the project and individual assignments due which I haven't started on. 

Supper with the flaggers (zh, jel, henry, xb and gs) just now was really fun! Esp meeting them to relieve a little stress. : )

And the small msn chat that i had with ex-laoban last night was really great! I really thank him and appreciate all that he has done for me and taught me the past year! And he gave me the encouragement that I think will keep me going on this coming year! Yes, I took on the job of the Hall's Marketing Executive again this year and it's going to be really tough. I want to do more and even more than last year! Lao ban said don't need to make up for last year coz we did really well and listed the things that we got for hall! I didn't think it was that good but alright, presentable : )

And this year has to be better knowing that I have a great partner : )

The comm applications for hall this year really drove many of us nuts. At least not for me. Since I already know I don't want to join so many things. But I didn't know how naive I was to think that everything would be done transparently. 1 year of being in hall, it makes me realise...

And worse thing that happened again tonight is when SE didn't get the survey slot but I got it, when she is the one who recommended me to it! And when I sent it in later than her! Isn't it first come first serve??? This is the 2nd time now!! It's really not fair and I'm upset at that.

Haiz...why didn't she get it..then things will be ok. I really feel like giving up my place to her now...

Choir was really fun just now with Terrence coming down to combine 5 Hebrew Love Songs : ) Learnt it in sec school but only till the 3rd movement. I'm so excited about it like finally being able to combine and perform it :)

People!! I'm starting to promote Varsity Voices 2009 : ) 21st February 2009, Sat, UCC Hall : )

And comm meeting was also SUPER FUN! We've got something up our sleeves : ) WHeeeee!!

I hate to say this but when it comes to times of stress and trouble and unhappiness, I really enjoy choir! I guess this is one of the other reasons that I come to Choir - to meet likeminded people and get crazy together and be of comfort to one another!

Thanks Fellow Bimbo for bringing up that idea : ) YOU ROCK!! :) I really hope it goes well!

I'm going to sleep...It's been this kind of timing that I am going into lala land every night... And I'm surprised I managed to keep awake for my 3 2hours tutorials today, with 1 seeming like an impromtu presentation and the other a prepared presentation. 2presentations in a day!! What an achievement!

Alright, I better have some quiet time tmr so that I can finish up any leftover things and prepare for my 2 presentations next week! Oh yah, for the record, I had 3 presentations this week. And I need to write the letter to my future self which everyone in the fun comm has handed in but me...sorry mich! I know you're reading this...but I really have no time to talk to myself. And i really want to do it up nicely coz it's my letter to myself  :)

Thanks for initiating it :)

Loves loves loves...

Tmr will be a better day :)
