term. finale.
I have to pen this down, before i leave, before the end of term and before the end of our comp.
The past term has been absolutely wonderful, i cannot ask for more. It gave me a huge sense of satisfaction and achievement, amongst all the worry, stress, despair and grief. A huge rollercoaster ride i think, i've never experienced so much in my life before. problems with family, friends, cca, acads etc etc.
I think i would have thought i would never be able to survive this term, going home at 11pm after cca and then having to burn the midnight oil to finish tutorials. or just crash when i get home and not do tutorials. or having to study for econs test on the day itself 12.30am then slp at 2am and wake up at 5 to study again. ><
and i really regretted not spending as much time with my family as i used to. and not watching tv anymore eeps. but then school has been really fun and exciting. and cca has been quite different, practicing with the alumni. it just dawned on me today thatyesterday was the last prac i was gna have with them in hwach, ever again. cause after comps everyone will be back to their normal lives, and it'll just be college and no alumni. gna miss them quite a lot D:
i've learnt a lot from them, really. seeing how good they are, and talking to them. i think the greatest takeaway is to learn how to focus. mental strength really does wonders. when we're 100% focused, we produce so much more than we ever do. and i think that's really the weakness of our batch, compared to the alumni. and i think the alumni gives ms lim a lot more reassurance than we do because of that, and they put their heart and soul into every piece of music. it's quite inspiring the way they work sometimes.
in a few more hours time ill be on board the plane to france and czech republic. must treasure this time caues i know it'll turn out to be one of the most memorable events ill have this year. a totally new experience overseas(; im looking forward to it a lot (though quite stressed cause i havent finished packing gahhhh..>!) k thank you so much 10s78 for being so supportive of choir concert, og 26 also, the many in class who chiongs tuts with me everytime and let me copy the lectures/tuts i miss and giving me encouragement in some way or another, teachers (esp mrs lim), thirteeners esp ying, kai, doey, jen, siming for your tender loving care <3, bloop and reb, and ny juniors(;
that's all i wanna say. it's been a really awesome term(;

sore throat
losing my voice. and the doctor gave me a huge scare when he told me there's a high possibility of getting nodules and then needing an operation. he said sing at your own risk and advise me against going overseas trip. =.= zomg i think he's exaggerating, but it scares me quite a bit, so im avoiding any form of talking at all. gna exercise a lot, sleep a lot, rest well and not talk, follow pipagao regime till i recover. hopefully ill get 4 complete days of rest till wed and it recovers. although the doctor advised me to rest for 2 weeks, which is quite impossible. haiz so never mind even if something happens to my throat permanently itll be after comps.
after working so hard for months, must make sure my voice is in tip top condition during the actual competition or ill be letting myself and the choir down a lot. jiayou everyone, who's also ill currently !

hang in there, !
sigh, taking a breather from all the mugging today.
i think i should stop being so paranoid about my acads and start appreciating the joy of relaxing and simply just enjoying life. i somehow regretted not going to either stj or one concert and missing out all the fun there could've been and probably one of the highlights of the week.
after thinking quite a bit over the weekends and talking to a few others, i've sorted out my thoughts. and yup feeling a lot better right now(: it has led me realise how something may not turn out to be what you think it'll be. and when you're so confident about it, life just has to surprise you with the opposite.
choir practices have been a lot better recently. although i am guilty of not believing in ourselves for a period of time. but when all else fails eveyrone starts working together and miracle happens sometimes. it's quite heartening to see everyong turning up for extra pracs in the morning and justsimply to enjoy singing. i think the greatest takeway from singing with the alumni each week is that all of them sing with the love for music. it's like an entirely different feeling from the usual practices. i'm quite excited for france and czech republic cause i've never gone for an international choir competition. yet i'm quite worried things wont turn out to be what we expect.
the next two weeks will be like hell for most of us. because practices are intensive and we're all gearing up for our concert first and then the competitions. i've been really stressed out lately, especially the start of last week, but things have been better. i feel so relieved each time i manage to survive a week without completing the work that i'm suppose to do, but then seeing all the work piling up like mad i'm really worried. but the thought of going to france, to czech republic, keeps me going and happy(:
i've always been a firm believer in luck. so when you experience bad luck, things wont get any worse. it'll just get better. i guess that's quite true^^

(no title)
i think failure might have come at a right time for me. cause i need motivation in my life right now. i was really disappointed cause it was all i've ever wanted. but i guess nobody really understands how i feel right now, and it was most terrible having no one to talk to about it. cause no one really appreciates fully what im saying. except myself. what made me most upset wasnt really this i guess. stay strong(: but this has greatly decreased the confidence i have in myself, and im so much more afraid of rejections after seeing so many capable ones around me not getting what they deserved and i myself having experienced so many failures in a period of time and being so stressed out. then looking back, i realise that only having experienced it myself do i fully understand what others were feeling back then. i think ill take awhile to recover.

-- the long weekend was quite enjoyable, aside from the fact that there were tonnes of homework to complete + tests to study for + projects + revise scores :/ but plenty of time for me to catch up on sleep. and waking up every morning feeling satisfied without having to drag myself out of bed. plus starhub had the preview of all channels so i spent most of my time watching dramas :D:D hahaha then i realised i havent been watching tv for a long time already.
sad thing is, couldn't get tix for athena fac outing so cannot go D:
To feel up this blank space here,
I am going to tell you a bit of myself.

Was once a Nanyang Girl, and now a Hwachongian
Chorister of rioHC

a very happy girl, always(;
So there you go. A short profile goes here.
