lollipop, lollipop, ooh lolli lollipop!
the choir problem was discussed but i wasn't there. from what i heard, it's alright already. i guess everyone tends to assume that they know everything but in fact, we (I) don't know shit.
for now, i'll just enjoy singing in WE, just like i have been for almost a year.
today, i went to watch sam and his soccer friends play at The Cage, an indoor football pitch (it wasn't grass). anyway, being as sway as he always is, sam got hit on his leg and hand. but alls well now. i think next time, i gotta be prepared with plasters and some ointment or smth. cause apparently, someone called me "medic!". ha.
poor stef got lost while trying to find her way to The Cage. haha, she was on the verge of crying and had humongous, ugly, bursting, blisters on her feet. she actually intended for us to have frog leg porridge for dinner and durian for dessert. in the end, we had kfc and durian at geylang. sam and adrian purposely brought us to a few Lorongs just to see 'chickens'. stef couldnt get enough of the 'chickens' and wanted to see more. but i was loosing my appetite for durians.
we shld have more durian eating sessions. next time, we'll drag emily along too!
chinese new yr is come. cny = money. yay!
and my cousins amanda and aretha are coming back to spore for good!

my sister
im so proud of my sister krystaltanyanling! coz she did well for her O level maths and chinese papers.
i rmb when she was born, my mum told me and my bro and she was our little present. and we loved carrying her outta her baby cot to play with her. we must have been so amused by her cuteness then. and of coz we are still, now.
oh, and when she was younger, we got so angry with her once that we sat her on a chair outside our room and told her to apologise to us. guess what she said. "apologise." haha.
we used to bully her alot those days. maybe not we, just me. haha. like call her names and stuff. so sorry krys. u know i love u alot.

stuff
even though im a pretty stagnant member of my choir, i do have some opinions of my own too from time to time. of course im not going to send an email reply to choir and have myself shot down because ppl dont see my point. ive learnt from what others have experienced, that email replies arent gonna work because the ppl who subsequently reply wont agree with u in any way. so i blog.
i just read an email replied to my choir friend by one of the owner's of my choir.
i find it's really saddening for ppl to not come to agreeable terms without things ending up more heated up than intended.
and so my friend has decided to "ORD" himself from choir with much encouragement from the reply he received.
i wonder if the encouragement was intentional.
maybe in the midst of arguing what they think is correct, ppl tend to forget that the stuff they say can be pretty hurting.
this friend of mine, i find, has put in his fair share of effort for the choir. isn't it a member's right to voice out his concerns? aren't we all trying to clarify our doubts so as to make our choir a better one?
apparently, the owners find his email rude, distasteful and offensive. if im not wrong, my friend didnt even use any rude remarks or mention anything offensive. im sure what he meant wasnt what they assumed.
and i do find personal attacks very irrelevant. simply, in what ways do personal attacks solve the problem or even serve as a reply to someone's concern?
anyhow, this might not seem like a problem that concerns me at all. as in, im neither the one who has similar concerns as my friend nor oppose whatever he feels. but being part of the choir, such situations do affect me greatly.
if this is the way a member is shot down because he dared to raise his concerns, im not sure if i wanna stay in this choir anymore.
on to other things...
i hate mondays! i really really hate mondays! firstly, it is the start of a new week. secondly, i hafta see my idiot biz law teacher's face.
im the kind of person who never speaks up during lessons (because i love my voice so much that i wanna preserve it for more impt things. ya right). so whenever i speak up or answer a question, it is a HUGE obstacle for me. but some STUPID teachers dont get that simply theory. after teaching for so many years, dont they at least understand a little student psychology? apparently, my biz law tutor doesnt.
he asked me a question. i answered based on what i wrote in my answer. in the end he said "kelly, you didnt really say anything, you know". fuck him la. i said smth and he didnt hear? he must be really deaf. so what if my answer wasnt substantial enough. so what if the quality of my answer wasnt as good as some of those smarter ones in my class. u wanna hear some answer like theirs? ask them la!
i tried ok. and if trying gets me what i got, im sorry that u are what u are.
but of course im not so stupid to give up. im gonna try harder.
also on monday, my accounting grp affected our teacher's life so much that she had to email us to tell us how disappointed she was when my grp didnt prepare for tutorial. at least she cared enough to email us.
sometimes, i dont understand myself. i feel like crying for no reason.
on a happier note, i cant wait for tomorrow to come! coz im gonna see someone who can make me feel so much better.

7 dollars
i had my $7 worth of live soccer experience today at the kallang stadium. singapore vs thailand. it wasnt that bad after all.
here's how my $7 was spent:
$1.50 went to standing and sitting
$2 went to clapping
$0.50 went to cheering
$3.00 went to laughing at a stadium full of spectators hurling vulgarities at the thais or referee, and not forgetting the periodic throwing of (un)shredded newspapers.
i reached the kallang stadium in a taxi with sam. the driver didnt even know how the stadium looked like and thought it was already torn down to be rebuilt. how toot is that? when we were between the indoor stadium and kallang stadium, i said in chinese "the stadium is on the right". who will or can miss the stadium. it isnt exactly very small.
after getting our tickets and waiting around of friends, we went into the stadium to find seats. good thing we got superb seats, facing almost the middle of the field.
the spectators were an enthusiastic bunch. they were so enthu about doing the kallang wave, enthu about hurling vulgarities in malay, which later got translated into hokkien and enthu about throwing newspapers to express their joy or whatever. above all these, there was a sense of unity that i wld never feel while watching the match on tv.
and yes! it was definitely damn fun. sam, u must take me to another big soccer match! the next world cup maybe :)
