I am weary, and I a stranger,
Lead me to the land of angels.
Be my eyes in time of darkness,
Be my shield against host of faery,
Be my wings till I find my home.

Today is really quite depressing....and I shall attribute it ALL to my horrible nose. On the whole, quite a nice day, went to watch Madagascar...silly show, but cute. Went out with my mother and sister for lunch too....a funny incident that happened was that I met Zheng An while my sister was buying lingerie. Er...gross huh.
I realise that I actually have a very low level of tolerance. I mean, compared to some people perhaps I seem nice, but, if anyone shouts at me, if only in exasperation, I will NOT be liable for what I reply in return. Hmm....we live and learn.
Some people apparently lead very busy lives. Oh well.

Hello, hello, I'm finally back from my long break. Well, break from blogging at least, so much has been happening I really didn't have time to blog at all. So, I'm going to colour code paragraphs so I can think properly.
CO concert yesterday! It was a really fun time, how could I be so stupid as to ever think of not participating? I must thank all my section mates for making it a wonderful day, wan jun, gladys/ru hua/katherine, wendy, wen yuan, vera, timothy, dean, etc. Haha, if nothing it has improved my chinese, and now I can chatter (at least a bit) in Chinese with the rest of them... I've never enjoyed myself so much at a concert before, and it was a wonderful experience, firstly because it's my first Chinese orchestra performance, so I feel so much like a novice at everything - holding the instrument, putting rosin, which, by the way, when I say pass me the ROSIN, people look at me weirdly until I say the chinese name. And also, I have become an expert faker, for the two encore pieces - huimin, haha, don't doubt me so much, I really could play most of it. Thank you for the teddy bear and the flowers, they're pretty! Yup..I think I will go for the camp too..to hang out with them one last time. The music was simply wonderful..I really think spirit is the most important thing - and yes, we did play our hearts out.
Sports carnival..we had a barbecue on wednesday night to thursday morning...it seriously turned into a meet the boyfriends sort of event..ok, before I carry on I really must apologise for being indecisive. Sigh. Anyway, it was quite fun...though I spent like 4 hours walking with Chong Wu along the beach - in an effort to get far far far away from that disgusting Zheng An, who was trying to ask us sick and perverted questions. Ugh. Anyway, it's quite pretty, especially when the jetty is lit only by moonlight and nothing else. Hate crickets and cockroaches...the sound they make when they hit the ground. Didn't sleep, so fell asleep during CO rehearsal on thursday, which meant that my erhu fell backwards, knocking the scores off the stand behind me, and causing a big mess. Haha...
Ok, last of all. I've got a new phone! It's red..but there was only red and black, and black looked very depressing. It's got a really nice camera, hmm, if daddy teaches me how to upload photos, I can start putting up photos here...wouldn't that be interesting?
One last bit, to reply Huimin, I think we can have a concert, but it will be like..in december? For the most basic reason.. that my section cannot make it. Sad but true,
JCT in four weeks!

It's a girl! My aunt's finally given birth, I think I'll get to see the baby tomorrow...and my cousins will start cooing over it...unfortunately I don't go crazy over babies. Though I guess some of them are quite cute. I read somewhere before that perhaps why people love babies so much is not because they are cute, but because they think that everyone is a star, and worth a backward starry-eyed glance at. Maybe everyone just loves the power of being able to make another being laugh, and smile at you, maybe it makes you feel good. Hmm.
Anyway, I WISH I SKIPPED SCHOOL TODAY. The feeling of boredom in school has just reached it's peak - about half the class just played mass truant. I think i will, sometime next week. College day rehearsal is very irritating...I would not have considered coming otherwise.
Daddy's coming home today!
Good luck...I hope every thing turns out fine.

Whoo hoo! Got myself a nice tag, courtesy of MeiYi, who doesn't even know that I know her blog address..haha.
Another rainy day..I think it's weird to rain in May. Anyway. Well....everything looks much happier now!

I really wish I wasn't in school today, just remembered there's that home visit. It's funny how come too much chocolate seems to trigger another attack, but I guess this time I'll just live with it, shall not even consider giving up eating the cake, haha. The vase of flowers are really pretty - roses in bloom do look so wonderful.
Recital yesterday was fine, I guess, I think by the end of it my hands must be totally covered with a fine layer of powder. Chamber was fun, hmm, even though SYF was bad, it seems to have bonded us, that's good! Though I've lost my bow...sigh...even though I got a better one.
My mother says I talk in my sleep....it is EMBARASSING.

The weather is weird today....a bit of rain, then suddenly a blast of sunshine. Hmm, haha, maybe, as my geog teacher says, diaries will become a "source-based" question for geog exams on the topic of climate change, or something.....
It's really difficult to plan a concert when ALL factors are against you.
Klara's sister is suffering from depression because she just broke up with her boyfriend of two years. Hmm. My piano teacher is getting all giggly because she may be going to get married soon.
Relationships are like glass........It is just better to leave them broken than to hurt yourself putting it back together.

Ok, all SYFs finally over! CO got a gold, but it was all so sad...and irritating, especially when some UN-NAMED school kept making jibes at us. Anyway, it was fun being with my section, so fun, that I'm going to play for concert! Yay!
Hmm, got this off my cousin's blog:

If you can't read that it means that you are as outdated on internet lingo as I am..haha. But seriously...when you finally decipher it...it does make SOME sense, but isn't it nicer not to be hurt at all? Though some people say it means that you haven't really learned to love, and so on...blah blah blah..
Suddenly I'm swamped by a lot of this "thinking" forwarded messages...maybe I'll post them each day. Perhaps they just show how bored I am....mother's day is coming!

Hmm, going for SYF is like being stuck in limbo for a while..you leave off every thing to concentrate on practices first. And when you start seeing the faces of your section mates more than your classmates, the feeling of weirdness just increases.
It's been a nice week end...let's hope things can only get better from now on. I'm glad I always have someone to run to when things go bad.
Thank you!
it's not the years in your life that count,
but the life in your years.

And in the end,
On |ove`*
And now I will show you the most excellent way:
If I speak in tongues of men and of angels, but have not love,
I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
