quick points
firstly, thanks to LC for the cookies. they're quite tasty. my family tried them yesterday night. thank you lots! btw, andrew wants to say this: LC=Little Crosses, LC=Little Chorales, LC=Little Cookies. :D
secondly, it's my crush's birthday today. i have no idea whether or not to wish him. he could interpret it that i'm still trying to get his attention. or he could interpret it as i'm still valuing his friendship. *sigh* wish i could tell how he'll respond then i'll know what to do.
thirdly, it's CNY!! gong xi gong xi to all! happy chinese new year! i'm going back to malaysia 'jia xiang' today. see if i can be back in time for mass tmr.
lastly, i'm trying out the photo thingy. needs some work. probably i'll fix it after cny. heehee! meantime, maybe someone can tell me how to adjust the size of the photos.

Review: Vocal Consort Musical Palette
Went for Shi Yun's Vocal Consort concert on friday. FYI, it was the vocal consort concert NOT MJC choir concert. i know i said my junior's concert but doesn't mean mj choir. the choir was there though. joy was taking attendance. woah. never knew that the choir is desperate enough to take attendance during a concert. btw, shi yun cheated me. if i bought the tickets from mj choir, i pay only $6. but i bought it from VC and it cost $15. :( never mind. i enjoyed the concert and the chance to catch up with zaidah and jasmine.
met them at city hall to go vch. supposed to meet them earlier for dinner but since they were hungry, they ate first and i met them later. by the time we arrived at vch, the bell was already ringing to call the audience in. we saw kok yong, the jumping guy. he was waiting for pei ying but he looked so excited, as usual. anway, the hall was almost full so we took circle seats. not too bad except that we were surrounded by choirs from other schools. joy said mj choir was sitting downstairs. i thought i saw one of my sac juniors. don't remember her name. only know that she's really cute, sings really well and took part in the sac talentime when i was still around.
vocal consort had 2 guest choirs, commonwealth sec and NTU choir. so some songs they sang together, some songs seperate. vc was so small. about the size of mj 1st 3 months choir. but really powerful. i could hear that solo guy singing even though i'm sitting so far away. without mic. the stage looks so small too. how did we manage to squeeze the whole choir in last year for 'trial by jury'?
anyway, moving on. i liked the song 'one small child'. wonder if church choir can sing it for christmas this year. such a cool song. the french song 'j'entends le moulin' was very interesting too. the pianist is so fantastic. the piano part sounded and looked so complicated and he was playing it without score. woah. i'm getting shi yun to lend me the scores. vc also sang beatles songs. they changed out of the formal gowns and suits and wore jeans, shirt and cartoon ties. the audience got so excited, they couldn't stop screaming. the mc was trying to introduce the songs but he couldn't get himself heard over the screaming so he gave up saying "oh well, you obviously know the songs". haha! i finally managed to record 'stopping by woods'. love that song ever since i first heard the male chorus sing it. pity they didn't sing 'hear the music' though. beautiful song.
mr kwei conducted vc. he still acts the same. i was saying that when he was conducting the beatles songs, he should change into something more informal. match the choir lah. but he didn't. then, vc presented him with this huge bouquet of flowers. yells of "encore! encore!". so he one hand hugging the bouquet, the other hand conducting. like he was dancing with the flowers. then he made vc hold the last not damn long until they were all making 'cannot breathe!' actions. so bad he. sadist. typical kwei. muahahaha!
mr yong conducted the ntu choir. at first he looked the same skinny, gangly guy. the audience started laughing when he came up, adjust the conductor's stand, moved the stand to the side of the stage(he didn't use it), walk back to centre, walk back to adjust the stand again, walk back to the choir. the choir was off-centre but he didn't seem to notice. weird. it was obvious they were off centre. they were all kinda aligned to stage left. aiyo. then at the end, they gave him flowers also, he was blushing so hard, we could see from where we were sitting. aiyo! didn't see him blush so much since we teased him about his 'girlfriend' when his handphone rang during choir. *sigh* miss mr yong.
well, jasmine, zaidah and i bought toy flowers for shi yun and jeffrey. heard jeffrey wondering what he's supposed to do with all those flowers and someone told him to recycle them for valentine's day. so cheapskate! guys. *shakes head* we hung around vch for almost half hour after the concert cos zaidah had to stop every few steps to say hi to someone. then outside vch, we ran into mj choir. they're having la risonanza 2 on 26 may. they're singing abba! lucky things. anyway, it took forever to drag zaidah away. she kept hugging and 'bye-bye'ing to everyone. when we thought she was done, she moved to the next group and did the whole routine over again. haiz.
when we FINALLY got to the mrt station, we couldn't get onto the train. twice. some morons refused to move in so the entrance was jammed. so we decided to go to raffles place and change train there. saw andrew quek and an unknown guy. that unknown guy was showing off kung fu moves and andrew quek was singing. on the mrt platform. gosh. at first we didn't notice him cos there was this other guy juggling that attracted our attention. then (let me try the conversation thing)
zaidah(indicating andrew quek): do we know that guy?
me: i think it's andrew quek. don't know about the other guy. not our sch.
zaidah: ya i think so too. jas, is that andrew quek?
jasmine: he juggle very well.
dotz! LOL! wrong frequency gal!! but yes, the guy did juggle very well.
andrew quek and friend didn't board the train. wonder why. saw shao chun at raffles place. that guy was stoning and didn't notice us despite the fact that we were trying so hard to get his attention, short of going over and saying hi. zaidah msged him on the train. he said too crowded now and he'll look for us after the crowd clears. that guy ah. by the time the crowd clears, we would all have alighted so no point.
yup. that's all for now. :D fun time i had. haha!

why it's a cat's world
i can't stand cats myself but this is interesting.
"On the first day of creation, God created the cat.... On the second day, God created man to serve the cat.... On the third day, God created all the animals of the earth to serve as potential food for the cat.... On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that man could labor for the good of the cat.... On the fifth day, God created the sparkle ball so that the cat might or might not play with it.... On the sixth day, God created veterinary science to keep the cat healthy and the man broke.... On the seventh day, God tried to rest, but He had to scoop the litterbox.... Yes, it's a cat's world after all. Amen!"

Dear Diary...
firstly, thanks verena and clifford for the printer info. the bloody thing's still not working but at least i got it installed. daddy should never have moved the stupid thing around the 2 comps. i think something's gone wrong with its insides. (here's where i start cursing and swearing). so i have to fix what daddy screwed up. why? cos i'm apparently the best techie in the house and cos i'm the freest person in the hse. whatever. freaking thing still can't work. should get a professional geek to fix it. it's way beyond me. and mummy's complaining that by downloading the installation thing from the net, i unleashed so many viruses. is that supposed to be my fault?! i keep telling her that we need to install the anti-virus software. (curse and swear) and she's nagging me cos in cas andrew needs to print something how? i can't believe his school charges students for printing. what kind of school does that?! well, i don't care. if he needs it, he can jolly well fix it himself. so pissed off with the stupid thing.
moving on. yes verena i know i owe you for the printer info but no, i'm not going chinatown. partly because i cannot stand chinatown during cny period. crazy place. i do my cny shopping during christmas time. seriously. actually the main reason is that it's the same day and time as my junior's concert. i already told her i would go when i last saw her during christmas. i'm not going for the baking on sat cos it's my uncle's birthday. my mother didn't even allow me to go to my best friend's place for pre-cny bai nian on that day, let alone baking cookies. understand the older generation? nothing i can do about it. :p
next, reading verena's blog, no verena, you haven't failed. you just haven't succeeded yet. sometimes, things may take more time than others. comparing the guys and gals may not be a great idea. the guys have soccer to build their bonds (btw, look at andrew. he's not exactly that enthu). but doing something like that is great to build team spirit, friendship... the gals don't have that medium. like you said, the group is really diverse, esp the gals. the one and only thing we have in common is LC. that may not be adequate to build bonds that are strong. maybe the gals have different priorities. maybe some of us have taken for granted that LC will always be there. speaking for myself, i think that the youth grp and the church will always be around. so i choose to hang out with my friends outside church cos i don't know when i will see them again while i'm sure that i will always see the LC people every week. last year, i chose to study instead of going for LC stuff cos with/without LC, life still goes on. get it? the bond the gals have with LC may not be strong enough to override other priorities and clashes of interest. but i'm not exactly worried yet. LC will only fail if the spirit of youth in st stephen's dies.
moving on. randall did very well on sunday. i had no idea he sounded so good. wanna get him to do some high masses. no pressure randall. i know you can do it. his teaching the congregation really cracked me up though. sounded like some commander. hey, a little pleasantries won't hurt you know. aiyo. maybe he's nervous lah. but well done anyway. the coming ash fri/1st lent psalm has a 2 part refrain. considering whether want to get the choir or the guys to do the harmony part with the cantor. should be fun. something new. we'll see.
went back mj to get the tickets from shi yun. same time, wanted to visit the choir. but didn't have much time to visit. kwei appeared before i had time to socialise. heard that miss lai begged kwei to stay so he did. but i also heard that he's scaring the j1s. apparently at the 1st practice, he was in a bad mood and he scolded them. and when kwei scolds, people can cry. but judging from the number of shoes outside, the choir isn't doing too bad. shi yun says my altos are really pathetic now. aiyo altos, what happened?! didn't have time to find out what she meant though. saw eugenia (she cut her hair but she's still the same sweetie), cass, kok yong and some others but i couldn't register their faces. nice to go back. miss them lots.
results will be out in a month. i still have no idea where i want to go and what i want to do in university. some people are just so sure of what they want to do but i have absolutely no idea at all. one thing i'm sure, i will not do anything econs related unless i have no other choice. most definately something arts based. *sigh* love to be music teacher but i don't think i qualify. love to do something with maths too but what? statistics is useful but i hate stats. never got the hang of it. maybe take some '-ology' and open a flower shop. don't know. that day, poh lin was saying that we should apply to SMU as siamese twins. cos she's good at verbal but not at essay while i'm good at essay but not verbal. so we go as siamese twins, she handles the interview and i do the essay part. haha! nervous about the results but not so nervous yet. from o level experience, i'll only start feeling really nervous 5 minutes before i get the results. thank goodness i'm a101 index no. 2. don't have to wait so long for it.
ok, this is getting really long. time to stop. ta-ta for now!
