so how did i spend my first day of holiday?
sam came over to my place for breakfast.
i made him breakfast.
the usual, pancakes
plus eggs this time.
then we watched Grey's Anatomy.
i swear it's super good.
but you have to watch from episode 1 to be addicted.
if you're thinking of borrowing, it's not mine, it's sam's friend's.
anyway, i watched the complete season 1 today, which is only 9 episodes and my eyes havent felt ths tired in a long time. ok, time for sleep and another slack day tmr! weeee...

Hello everyone!
My choir is having a Christmas concert this December and I'm wondering if you would be interested to attend. If you are having exams now, why not have something interesting to look forward to after your exams (at an affordable price!). If you have never been to a choral concert, why not take this chance to attend one. Plus, you can watch me on stage :)
We are having an EarlyBird discount scheme so buy your tickets early!
Do let me know if you are coming!

Dear Friends,
Wild Empire is holding Christmas concerts this December! And WE're inviting you to join us in our merrymaking this festive season!
Concert Details
Christmas At Wild Empire - Hope
Date: 22 December 2007 (Saturday)Time: 3pm & 7pmVenue: Singapore Art Museum, The Auditorium
Be the idol that you always wanted to be. Better yet: Be your own judge and pick up some haunting tunes from our spellbinding selection of Sacred Classical Choral pieces that we can't seem to get out of our mind (not that we want to). Hear! Hear! Don't be scared. Be Sacred.
Song highlights include G.Allegri's "Miserere", A.Lotti 's "Crucifixus a 8", Bruckner's "Christus Factus Est", G.Fauré's " Cantique de Jean Racine" and the chorally vexing "Natten är framskriden" by Sven-Erik Bäck.
Christmas At Wild Empire - Love
Date: 23 December 2007 (Sunday)Time: 3pm & 7pm Venue: Singapore Art Museum, The Auditorium
Every choral romantic loves Christmas and even Santa Claus would be impressed if you'd take a tiny break from Orchard Road to enjoy rare Contemporary arrangements of European folk songs and carols for Christmas.
You may already hold your own tune against clashing harmonies, but Wild Empire would love to show you what a romantic you can become; for a truly gifted romantic knows how to spin poetry over six part harmonies. Also, it is our hope to lift some jingle-weary spirits.
Song h ighlights include B.Holten's "First Snow", M.Lauridsen' s "Sure on this shining night", M.Zuccante's "Like a prayer...like a singing...like a weeping" and Latvian Carols.

In 2005, Wild Empire was created by four young working professionals who suddenly lost their choir but were too defiant to let things be and there begins our journey with many delightful talents. The founding protagonists are - The Engineer (Jacquelyn Foo), A Psychologist (Michelle Koh), A Clerk (Timothy Chionh) and A Choral Conductor (Ong Chiak Yin). We dare thought that with the significant experience running school and alumni choirs for the past decade, the time was ripe to build us a self-funded, non-affiliated choir. After all, there aren't many independent adult choirs around for restless choral detectives such as we. Wild Empire is led by Conductor Ms Ong Chiak Yin. Today we are fortunate to be joined by many young dedicated singers as a 25-member choir.Beginning with Caroling in Dec 2005, Wild Empire had a joint performance with NUS Chinese Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Dr Subramaniam in Feb 2006. In 2007, Wild Empire actively volunteered and oversaw the production of 2 Concerts for 4 SYF choral participant choirs in order that they put up concert performances before the SYF competitions. Thanks to NAC for their respective grants and SAM for their free accommodation, we enjoyed putting up sell-out concerts during both Happening Happenings in September 2006 and Christmas At Wild Empire 2006.

kiss kiss
i love how the rain makes me feel oh so relaxed.
i love how the rain makes me feel like sleeping more.
but oops!
it's the exam period
even so, this rainy season is making me feel a teeny weeny bit
less stressful.hehe
i cant wait for my last 4 papers to be over, seriously. then i'll be able to see sam and get on with my merry-making without any thoughts of accounting or tax lingering at the back of my mind.
but before that, i want to do well for my exams. i have friends aiming for really high gpa. what am i aiming for? i cant say, cos all of u will laugh. and if i say, everyone will know once and for all how lousy i am in my studies.
and my uncle cant stop asking me about my results everytime he sees me. i always try to avoid the topic. even if it means eating my dinner really fast and getting away from the dining table.
btw, i cant wait to try the Harry Potter jellybeans emily bought for me. anyone fancies
vomit or
earwax? hahah

TSK
i had my first paper today. Forensic Science! and i let my imagination run wild. so very wild. it would definitely cost me some marks. i hope not much though.
i was walking towads the ezlink scanning machine (whatever it's called) when this woman swerved right into my lane. she was obviously going straight for the machine in her lane when she decided to cut into mine (WTH). to prevent myself from knocking into her, i had to jam break. then what did i say?? SORRY.
i cant believe my mouth said sorry when my heart went TSK! i was pissed with myself all the way home. this is not the first time ive said sorry when i'm not in the wrong. apparently, it's much easier to say it when im not in the wrong than when i am really in the wrong.
and to make myself feel even more pissed, i had to see sooooo many guys carrying their girlfriend's bag (because their girlfriends were carrying super duper heavy stuff? NO!). im obviously the minority here, considering how many girls let their boyfriends carry their bag.
maybe they think that their boyfriends look MAN carrying their feminine bag.
maybe they like their MAN to carry nice shiny tote bags with little things hanging on the zips (bells maybe).
and maybe it turns them on when their MAN carries a handbag. (yes MEN, handbags are the in thing)
why do we girls have to let our boyfriends carry our bag? are we so weak? are we perpetually pregnant and dont have any strength left to carry the bag we packed with all our feminine things?
if you are too lazy to carry your own bag, dont bring a bag! follow your boyfriend, get jeans with super huge pockets to fit you wallet, handphone and whatever else in.
i feel so ashamed. time for my sex change.
