i wanted to blog about something i saw in duan hui's blog. but i just can't string the words together. so i'll just put a simple update.
BIG NEWS!!!
I PASSED MY LINEAR ALGEBRA MID TERM TEST!!!!!
it's just 22/40 but it's still a pass. considering that there are even maths major students who failed, i think i did pretty good. haha!!
ok. all for now. brain block.

posting on behalf of andrew
hihi! this post is actually andrew's creations. it's 2 songs that he composed and wants to be put online. so here goes:
THE CRUCIFIXION
They found Him in the garden
Praying with His friends
He told them "I am He"
And they took Him away
His friends ran
they didn't want to be with Him
they left Him all alone to die with thieves
CHORUS
we deserve this
but this man has done no wrong
what has He done to deserve this
Nothing
we have cheated and have lied
we have killed and we have stolen
but still He died for us
they brought Him before the hight priests
who accused Him of saying
i will destroy the temple
and rebuild it in three days
"how can you do this?" they said
they condemned this as blasphemy
and sentenced Him to die (CHORUS)
He was handed to the soldiers
who viciously beat Him
they forced a crown of thorns
upon His head
they gave Him a purple cloak for fun
play the prophet Christ
who beat you (CHORUS)
they brought Him before the crowd
with Pilate as the Judge
"who should i release?" He asked
Barabbas or this man
Barabbas they shouted
Barabbas they cried
Pilate had no choice he sentenced Jesus to die (CHORUS)
He took up the cross and walked
He fell so the soldiers got simon
to help Him
His face was wiped by Veronica
as reward He left His face upon the cloth
women of Jerusalem do not weep
for me but for your children (CHORUS)
He was nailed to the cross
by people He would die for
Father forgive them they know not what they do
they raised Him up
with thieves on either side
if you are the Christ
save yourself and us (CHORUS)
you will be with me today He said
you will be with me in heaven
Eli Eli lama sabachthani
then He died upon the cross
died for us, died for the
people He so loved (CHORUS)
HOLY SONG #1 (sorry, couldn't think of a name)
VERSE 1
When i look up into the sky
i know that someone's watching over me
ever loving, ever caring
our loving father who reigns on high
CHORUS
o god you are wonderful to me
and you have called us all to be
brothers to each other
to forgive and to love
as you loved us
VERSE 2
when i look into the sea
i know you're always watching me
and all the wonders of your creation
will bless your name and joyfully await
the day you come from on high (CHORUS)
BRIDGE
we know that you are always there
watching over us
we will glorify your holy name
in you we place your trust
O god you are wonderful to us
as we go about our day to day business
you have called us all together
brothers to each other
as your children we will bless your holy name
repeat VERSE 2
Both songs by Andrew Goh
Ok, actually the only resons I wrote these were because I finished my lit essay and that the physics teacher didn't come.

trying out new skin. comments?
i'll leave you with the lyrics of my new background song:
Go The Distance
by Clay Aiken
album: Redifineed
The Father and the Son stepped out
Looked down at the world below
A distant world where sin-strong arms
Had struck a fatal blow
There had to be a sacrifice
Across the lonely hill
Someone had to span the globe
So Jesus said I will
I will go the distance
I will go that far
I will give up everything
to bring them where you are
Even tho I could choose the path of least resistance
Father I will take the cross
I will go the distance
To think about His sacrifice
Leaves me with a choice to make
So many stand just out of reach
With eternity at stake
I can be the go-between
Who walks the extra mile
If just one should find The Way
Then it's been worth the while
I will go the distance
I will go that far
I will give up everything
to bring them where you are
Even tho I could choose the path of least resistance
Father I will take the cross
I will go the distance
I will go the distance
I will go that far
I will give up everything
to bring them where you are
Even tho I could choose the path of least resistance
Father I will take the cross
I will go the distance
Father I will take the cross
I will go the distance

close encounter with fr lu
today me and daryl did the st ant devotion cos dawn couldn't make it. btw, zac did the "seas obey and fetters break" thing. and for a first time cantor, he wasn't bad at all. quite ok actually. anyway, guess what...fr lu did the devotion. damn. omg! i went confirm with him if he was really doing the st ant devotion. it was my first time ever that i spoke to him. it was weird.
me: fr lu, are you celebrating tonight's devotion?
fr lu: *blur look*
me (thinks i talked too fast or something so i slow down and talk louder): are you celebrating tonight's devotion?
fr lu: *blur look*
me (thinking wat da hell?!): are you gonna do tonight's devotion?
fr lu: *blur look*
me (kinda pissed now): tonight's devotion and mass. you doing?!
fr lu: yes yes.
OH. MY. GOD.
the only other time i felt like that is when the school brings us on fieldtrip to old folk's home and we try to talk to the old folks. they've got "H-U-H-?" written all over their faces. gosh. i DO NOT ever want to talk to fr lu ever again.
p.s. sorry i'm changing my blog song again. i'm such a fickle minded gal. ;D

haha! blogging again. monday night and slacking again. what a hopeless case i am. anyway, just came back from choir. waiting for my hair to dry before going to sleep. hurry up and dry!! newae,not that much to report. just killing time. muahahaha! weird thing that happened today. mr toh didn't turn up for tutorial. there was this old guy instead. and partly, i'm glad he took over cos he explains things when mr toh doesn't. bad part was that he checked that everyone did their tutorial. which i didn't do. not all anyway. he scolded when he found out i only did a bit of it. (i don't know how to do lah) he makes it sound so easy. sigh. never mind. so anyway, mr toh didn't come for tutorial so i'm wondering what's going to happen to the lecture. but he was there for lecture. weird. wonder why. maybe he mark our test papers until vomit blood, can't face our class anymore. haha! went through the first 2 questions of the test. i know i've got at least 7 marks already. yay! *rolls eyes* funny moment, there was this guy that "aiya!" so loudly during the test review, the whole LT laughed. and another girl that went "yay!". probably we'll get the scripts back next week. sigh.
anyway, saw hafiz today at the SOC bus stop. i asked him what he's doing at nus. but i forgot what he said. he still looks exactly the same. wearing the green camouflage. so i've kinda solved the mystery of why there are sometimes guys wearing the army uniform and walking around nus.
had another 'mini shock' at the voice class. i arrived early as usual. went to 5B. and there was no one there again! *shock* omg! did ruben walk out again??! so quickly msg felicia, ask her if the forum said anything about voice class. truth was not so dramatic. turns out ruben was busy. so we went to aunty mary again. wasn't too bad this time. sang mozart's version of the alphabet song. love it. so fun. and something funny aunty mary said. she was commenting about how we should and should not sing. she mentioned something like, "you are the N-U-S choir, not the N-U-T choir." it took us a while to get the joke.
oh ya, got the english project back. well, we didn't do that badly. at least we didn't fail. duan hui said she was expecting a higher grade. but i think we got the grade we deserved. it wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst either. for our first university project, i think we did quite well. next time we'll do better. :D
right. better rest now so i don't screw up too badly during st ant's devotion tmr.

need to rant
part1 written friday 30 sept
need to rant very badly. just done my linear algebra mid term test. it was just short of a total disaster. sigh. it was a 1 hr test. started doing. qn 1 went ok. took 25 minutes then panicked when realised that there was only half hr left to do the other 3 qns that are much tougher. so quickly rush thru qn 2. it was on the bus that i realised that i made a serious error there. A^2=I can be changed into A^2-I=0, then (A-I)(A+I)=0, A=plus/minusI. didn't do that in the test. i screwed up. sigh. then qn 3 and 4. i could only do half of them. the other half was left blank. sigh sigh. sob sob. first time in my life that i came out of a maths test seriously feeling that i'm going to fail very very very badly. so sad. hope they mark it on a curve thingy cos i heard other people complaining that they were going to fail too. so maybe it's not just me. just depressing all the same.
haven't studied much for genes n soc tmr. i only really studied the online cd roms. :p heck lah. i'll look through the notes in the bus. anyway, it's just a gem. so not too bad if fail. of course better if don't fail lah, then can clear my gem requirements this sem.
other depressing stuff, i need to learn the psalm for this sunday that i haven't touched since last sunday. and i have to learn "gloria" that i discovered the choir learnt yesterday. and do my maths tutorial cos i better go and do a qn on the board on monday if i want to get ANY class participation points at all.
anyway, for the first time in my life, i ponned choir for no official reason. i stayed home to study linear algebra. (which may have been a waste considering how disasterous the test was) yup, wonder what hui jun's going to say. anyway, apparently they've secured the carolling slot at shangri-la on 24 and 25 dec. i told felicia to put me on the 25th slot so that won't clash with church stuff but....
this year, (read from dawn's blog) church choir isn't going to do the 24th midnight mass. the illogic of fr khoo at work. apparently, he kinda banned us from doing the high mass this time round, giving it to ronald (something about not wanting any one choir to dominate high masses. which is BS imo.) and the best part? ronald DOESN"T WANT the midnight mass. there's no logic. idiot. and btw, i don't think i'll be attending the 10am 25th mass cos of the nus carolling afternoon slot. because i thought the church choir is going to be doing midnight mass so i purposely kept 24th free to handle church stuff. but now... #$%&** fuck. (better stop before i get sued for disturbing the peace)
right. really pissed about that but moving on. this morning, had an interesting time observing people falling sleep during english lecture. somehow, madelena gets more and more boring as time passes. and she doesn't give us break either so after the first hour, we all kinda zone out. lucky there's not that much yet that isn't found inside the textbook. so at least can go home and swallow the textbook and still get it. oh, happy thing, we finally handed up the makan/sotong project. at last. can throw out all the resources from my comp. it's over!!!!!!
bought myself a bracelet at the bazaar at the central lib. so nice. i like it. it's got silver dolphins on it and a nice chunky feel. :D duan hui bought herself a mp3. it's a bit like mine. bit fatter than mine but her's is nicer colour (red). and the usb can connect anywhere, unlike sumi's and jas's zen and apple. that one needs special software but duan hui's is like mine, can connect anywhere and transfer music from anywhere.
what else? oh ya, the bazaar had a 2nd hand book sale too. bought books (3 for $10). got "white oleander", "wild swans" and "the templar revelation". very pleased with the last one. if i bought it elsewhere, it would definately have cost at least 20 plus. but here. yay! and sumi was so jealous cos apparently she wanted to buy those books but didn't for some reason. haha! she can borrow them if she promises to return my other stuff.
oh ya, a juicy bit of thing. go ahead and infer anything you want but, for reasons best known to myself, i downloaded a 15 second porn clip the other day. there were no restrictions or anything. didn't watch it though. it needed a special licence thingy that i couldn't get. so i thought, never mind, i try on my other computer. and there, i was told that it was coded in some way that windows media player couldn't handle. so. haha! so this proves, porn isn't as readily available as people think.
moving on. dr phillips showed that bmw short movie that guy ritchie made, the one starring madonna. it was HILARIOUS. i'm going to try to put it here. it's 7mins long. the driver drove the bmw like initial d. gosh. the best part was at the end when madonna flew out of the car, onto her butt in front of hordes of paparazzi and discovered that she spilled her coffee down the front of her pants. haha! but the bitch character she plays deserves it.
hmm...should i talk something about clay? yes i will. (can't resist) it's not really about him. it's about a song he sang. "Love of my life" originally by michael w. smith. i came across it while surfing one day. oh. my. god. it's so sweet. i just melted listening to it. it's one song that will be played at my wedding (if i get married). definitely going to put it as my background music. the lily song is getting boring.
alrighty. all for now. ranted enough. more or less happier now. :D anyway, need to sleep for tmr. to be continued...
part 2 written 1 oct
just came back from biotech exam. it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. surprising. i think i'll do ok for this one. seemed quite easy. i finished in half hour. of course there were some weird questions (something about dideoxyribonucleonic acid. had no idea what that was.) haha! not bad lah.
andrew's going for his graduation ceremony in a while. i'm not attending. no point. i'm gonna stay at home and slack and take advantage of having the house to myself. which means watching tv, playing computer, blasting my music, banging on the piano and generally making a ruckus that i can't when there are people at home.
alrighty. the end. haha!
