Busyzzz.

Haven been updating as often as i would like. But i'm really bogged down by school work and projects, assignments, exams! Argh! And its getting very stressful..i finally experienced what's it like to NOT feel like eating when tests are popping up everywhere. Just wanna mug for it. Took my aural test today..this is most scary, as u have to notate a rhythm, melody and chordal progression by listening to e teacher play 3 times for each. The rhythm threw most of us all..cos there are ties between the bars! argh. My heart realli did beat faster. So damn scary. What if i couldn catch it within this few times? I would get like zero for e paper?? Faint. After that, i had my usual ensemble practice, my teacher is forever going on an maniac pace, u guys know csardas right, it a song that resembles it, but its written by micheal mclean for ensemble. Ive already encountered enough maniac speeds by the school's conductors that i'm sort of getting used to it. Not that i can really play at the maniac vivace, allegro speeds.But at least, it doesnt throw me completely off balance when e orchestra meet for practice. Its really crazy, we sightread at the tempos stated in e beethoven mozart scores and alot of them are half time somemore! And i think i failed terribly at my analysis test.. to think that i studied hard for it..maybe thats why i got so stressed up about doing well for e paper that i freaked in e test. First time that it happened to me i think. =( After a field trip to fortcanning for singapore artscene module and history class, me and gene went to eastside cartel to eat. Saw alot of long time no see people, feels good to banter and joke again =) . Ate my long wanted to eat baked kangaroo apple pie. Hmm, tastes nice, twinge of cinnamon with plump raisins and soft qq apple cubes, but abit dry though, no sauce. Didnt like the vanilla icecream that comes with it. So not rich and creamy, tastes bland. =X Ate st louis pork ribs too. Hmm, e sauce is nice, but once u eat some of it, u wouldnt want to finish e rest, the taste gets too overwhelming and u get sick of it. Love the waffle fries and cheese munchers though. The chilli sauce tastes like they have ketchup mixed in it! Eww. After that, we went to catch "Date Movie". Erm..guys, dont watch unless u are feeling rich, cos e whole show lasts only an hour and its really crappy and full of nonsense! Its funny at first, but after awhile, the "is there a storyline" story with its nonsensical humour and crappiness really gets on ur nerves, especially when u are TIRED. Like me. Woke up at 8am today, studied and played non-stop till now. We watched e movie at Princess theater. Opp bedok interchange! Me and my cousins, brother, mom and auntie used to go to bedok swimming complex for our weekly swimming lessons, after which we will walk over to a coffeeshop near bedok ntuc and eat super big bowls of qiu lian ban mian. I still remembered that my cousin will pick out all the meats from her mee hoon kuey.=D haha. Oyah, and my dear cousin bought her gold mickkey mouse bag from 2nd level ntuc. Cool bag eh.=D The fountain in front of the ntuc, used to be spurting out water in the past..but it is not working anymore..new shops pop out and old shops closed down. Walked around for awhile, reminiscing the past, we used to live in bedok, so spend quite alot of my childhood shopping at e bedok interchange area. Kenny rogers closed down.=( My fav food when i was little. Took some pics of the new surroundings. Scroll down. =)

Gag*

just did something fun..its like 80% accurate. I was surprised. Haha. Go do!

you chose BZ - your Enneagram type is FIVE.
"I need to understand the world"


Observers have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.

How to Get Along with Me
Be independent, not clingy.
Speak in a straightforward and brief manner.
I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.
Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable.
Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity.
If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.
don't come on like a bulldozer.
Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.


What I Like About Being a Five
standing back and viewing life objectively
coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure
not being caught up in material possessions and status (no leh, i'm a shopaholic)
being calm in a crisis


What's Hard About Being a Five
being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be
watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally


Fives as Children Often
spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on
have a few special friends rather than many
are very bright and curious and do well in school (erm, are u sure?=D)
have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers
watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information
assume a poker face in order not to look afraid
are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict
feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected


Fives as Parents
are often kind, perceptive, and devoted
are sometimes authoritarian and demanding
may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate
may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions

just wanna rant abt some trival thing tt happened earlier on the bus, i was on my way home on 147..when this lady with curly long hair sat next to me with her friend. My god, heaven knows when did she brush her teeth! I was jolted out of my comfortable snooze when she started to open her mouth and talk to her friend! Faint. Not once that i smelled tt waft of rancid air okay. I was wishing that she would just keep quiet, but no=( . Its made it way up my nose for 6 times before i decided to lift my butt and scoot to the upper deck instead. Horrors.
