soon-to-be past promos

promos almost over. left only with chinese tml. everyone s seem to be more or less already in the post-promo mood. me too. had chem exam today. my mind was totally blank for the first 10 mins of the paper. then i just woke up and started doing the paper properly. perhaps i didn t sleep well yesterday night. it was the same for the maths paper yesterday. i was going up the stairs near the staff room and i was like, huh, why am i going up this way. then i realise that i was going to take my paper. guess that i was subconscious everytime i don t sleep well the night b4, like the time when i fell 3 weeks ago and last year when i fell from the last few steps on the overhead bridge near amk library...

went out after chem paper. was initially planning to go home, have lunch and sleep. dunno why nowadays i just love to stay at home. perhaps cos i hadn t been at home a lot for the past few weeks or months when i stayed around in school to sing or study. anyway, i went j8 with jo and jancy. was tugging my big fat chem file all the way. has been such a long time since i went to j8(at least not for the past few weeks). we shopped around. tried mooncakes on level 2 .window-shopped. walked around. had desert while jo and jancy had their beef noodles. at lunch, we saw a couple in their fifties wearing similar lime green shirts n denim shorts. so sweet and lovey-dovey even at this age. how fortunate and blessed to be so loving after so many years spent together. after lunch, we continued on our window shopping. i bought a pair of ear studs. walked around. saw toy bananas that can be peeled. walked some more. went into cristofori to take a look at piano. walked around some more b4 going home to have my lunch.

my younger sis planning to take up piano after her exams. it s good to take up an instrument when u are young and fingers still flexible. was trying to look for a piano for her. those at cristofori were pricey or perhaps because they r the latest models. didn t know that pianos were that expensive. had thought that piano would cost about the price of my guzheng. utterly wrong. hm... will continue to look round. think its a great opportunity for my sis to take up piano. when i was young i always wanted to play an instrument besides the recorder. think when i was at pri 4, i was looking at an encylopedia where they showed the various musical instruments. for some time, i bugged my mum to let me learn flute but she said that i was still young or something like that, or she was afraid that my passion would only last 3 mins so in the end, i m still stuck with my recorder. when i reached sec 1, i joined choir again. i envy those who know how to play the piano. so i told my mum i wanted to learn. she told me it was too common so i went to take up guzheng at the community centre near my house. so i have been at it since then and even until now, i still love my guzheng a lot, even though i m kind of gradeless cos i didn t go for exams at NAFA. perhaps i will take it when i get out of jc. and so i was glad when my younger sis wanted to take up instrument on her own initiative. that is why i am perhaps more enthu than she is. wanna help her to get started on this music journey. she kinda of reminded me of myself when i was young.

had my lunch when i reached home. was trying to eat my rice with beansprouts and tomato-sauced sotongs in peace. aiyo. my younger was like huh. she s going to take her health ed exams tml and apparently her teacher had not taught her anything. perhaps her teacher, being a male teacher, had a lot of reservations on teaching 10 year olds on puberty, especially the part on the reproductive system and the more personal stuff. my sis literally bombarded me with questions that i probably won t want to answer when i m eating. she got so much queries about puberty. anyway, i didn t get to answer her as she fell asleep as she waited for me to finish my food. i wonder if 10 year olds will really understand the whole thing about puberty. its interesting but huh, how am i supposed to make it such that she understand what i m saying. like just now, she asked me. what is to break voice? i say that guys' voices get lower when they go thru puberty then she ask me why? aiyo. i know that its because guys' adam apples grow bigger but anyway i m a bit too lazy to answer. so i ask her if her health ed teacher talk in a high range like she does one day and the next day he speaks like a man. well, she kind of get it, i hope. aiyo, hopefully she don t ask me qns that is too dificult to answer.

yeah. promos end tml. had already make plans to go out tml. must enjoy myself as much as possible b4 next week of hectic pw comes in. gonna work hard at pw.

cheers to the end of promos! enjoy!
