right ok. let me see. there's a lot to say..ahha.
1. GUITAR PRACTICES...& PW MEETINGGuitar practices were at Wesley's house. Mon, Tue and Thursday of LAST WEEK, 1st Week of June hols. HAHA..hrm...his dog and all...ahha the aircon, the laptops..THE KING SHOWING OFF...ahah and all his classical guitar pieces. MY AIM: By the end of GEM 08, he will know MORE CURRENT SONGS. AHHAH.
go to
catharsisavenue.vox.com for more on the PW meetings. hahaah. HAHAH. my other blog cos i dint want to use blogger....but then, i still like this layout...cos i put so much hard work in it.
We practiced La Bamba & Can't Help Falling In Love With You. This is one of our practice sessions.
Oh plus, after practice on Thursday, 29th May while we were on the way to ikea, around 12pm? Wesley wanted to tie his shoelaces and my shoelaces were very irritating I asked Wesley to tie them for me cos with my Guitar and teh tarik in one hand and all, it's just so troublesome to bend down. HAHA and he did it! I was kinda shocked. HAHA. Joanna tried to take a pic of it but was too SLOW.
Then we ate at IKEA restaurant... I was saying it was foodcourt but they all scolded me saying it was a RESTAURANT..howells it looks like a foodcourt anyhoos. i spent total of $5 on F&B and Joanna spent double the amt. HAHA. I'm so smart I ordered Kids Meal of Nasi Padang + extra plate of rice. HAHHA..tho I had to force myself to finish, cos I got bored of eating half way. I think I took like HALF AN HOUR to finish eating....
Then we started on the door gifts. Sim Yee made it quite nicely and the boys bought the jars. Quite cheap i must say. Each door gift costs less than $1.50 and each had a Gibson pick inside which made Chee Ching so excited hahha. Then on with the planning of the night item..the candles, my kind of idea. haha in the end, we bought 100 white tealights which costs $3.90 and 84 red tealights which costs $11.80. HAIZ. Which reminds me, I've yet to collect this money from CRYSTAL> YAYAYAY. ahha. OH when we were doing the stars out of straws, so many aunties came by to ask us WHAT we were doing and HOW we were doing it. AHHHAAH...i think we made a home in Ikea. Bought so many stuff. Wesley went home early and he threw all the boxes which were supporting the jars. After he left and I looked at the rubbish bin, I found the cardboards to be quite clean so just picked them out of the rubbish bin lor. HEE ME. But i helped save a lot of trouble for us. so yes, must be more green no? (:
Sean said he was coming at 4pm with his TPJC shooting peeps. Imagine how much time we guitar ppl spent there.. I thought I wouldnt meet him but in the end we like camped there to finish our stuff so HAHA saw him. no actually i dint. It was more like this. While doing the door gifts I got an sms "Found you....haha!" ahha...yeah it gave me a shock cos I was like...thinking I would see him coming. So my reflexes found me turning behind then saw this guy grinning away. HAH! but din't go up to him say hello cos he was taking food and Sean, next time just come up to me say HI LOR...what for waste sms! hahha TSK! And I saw that guy who attempted to teach me how to shoot with Air Rifle during TPJC 2nd intake CCA fair which me and Xtina crashed xD. At least I hit the target card but so many times the rifle couldnt shoot and he was cursing away saying that he wasnt a pro in rifle cos he was under pistol. hahah...and i shifted my feet or something when I swear I didnt and he was quite irritated with me I think. HAha i was scared I pissed him off....scary ok..what if he just took a pistol and shot at me or stg WAHWHA...rubber or wtv those bullets are it would still hurt right? AHAHHA ><
King and a WOULD BE bday present...except we had NO MOOLAH.
Star treatment. PAPARAZZI ALERT! haha...
My favourite Ice Cream Stick has been made into TUB FORM!!!! WHOPEEE!
So we bought a small round cheesecake for... $3.90! and we went to Giant foodcourt and we very resourceful girls made it our table the most happening table in the foodcourt. Sim Yee asked for the necessary stuff you need to cut the cake but the stall she asked from didn't have those small plates SO get this, the manager of the foodcourt came out and gave her a knife, forks and spoons and plates! King really has special treatment! I took one candle and asked a stall to light it with their lighter and I had to protect the flame on the way back to the stall. HAHAHA. So we sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY loudly and obviously we got attention. HEE...Isn't King sooo extremely dee duper lucky to have us 4?
Rachel & Sim Yee
Crystal & Me
King & the GIANT sized porpotion of cheesecake that he had which we bought from GIANT.
* i interrupt you with the familiar jingle "GIANT SAVINGS GIAAAANT!!!"Giant really rocks too (: very student friendly.
Good job us! hahh successsss
BTW, King was like in his own world, shopping on his own, looking for this and that...wandering away..ahha.
VIDEO!!! yay yay yay haha...
2. Manifestasi '08 @ TPJC, Friday 30th May 2008Me and Sadelena wanted to surprise Fadilah. I came up with so many ideas but they all came to a retardation when Sadelena had a last minute meeting with her Floorball Ex-Co. CONGRATS SADE FOR MAKING IT! Still, Sade baked instant brownie...Heehee..and came to my house earlier to eat and prepare the huge card for Fadi. Sade even made a card for SHAH! The lead actor. WOOTS.
Sean had a meeting in school but had to leave cos he wanted to sleeeeep. So couldnt see him. Haha..If not ah I would see him thrice in a row. ahahah.
Fadi was really surprised. YAY! YAY! YAY! And we came early too cos the doors havn't opened yet. Ok let me see... saw so many people lah very malas write everyone here. haha..i was just really happy to see all the PAE people. The MJC MJI peeps also came: Neni, Fazari, Nizam, Azrul, Salihin, Khairiah. And like one whole gang of TKGS peeps: Shila, Nana, Jannah, Nadirah and semua yang sewaktu dengan mereka. HEH.
Fadi loves what Sade did! Sade rocks rocks rocks!My ticket was with Ahmad and he came late cos he wanted to solat Maghrib (am quite proud of him wahha). So Sade and Fadi chopped us seats first. Maisarah and Lyana waited with me for Ahmad. They were so sweet I was really very touched. The worst part was in the end, Sade din't save seats for them so they had to sit with the MJIs. I'm so sorry. While Haziq and Amira sat with us and Haziq changed place cos he wanted to seat beside Hafez. Who was sitting beside Fadilah. Grr so I was taken away from the centre of the Audi and from my friends. Haiz nvm. ahah Made the best of what I have. Ahmad one side and Amira on the other. HAHA.
Opening act: Sinar Kencana! Anyways when I was in PAE, I joined them for one practice, playing the violin. And everyone's really good now!
Shahruddin! playing Anuar, one of the lead.
The Sultan is Hisyam. I was so shocked! And I like the Malay dance cheorography that they made. And how the dance was integrated to be part of the story (:
This must be one of the most hilarious parts of the show! The British colonial soldiers speaking Malay in an English accent. I couldn't stop laughing!
Zahidah as Nenek Kebayan. She was extremely superb in this role. I was really impressed but she made me unable to stop laughing. I was holding on to Amira's hand all the way. ahahahha..uncontrollably shaking with laughter.
The girls Dikir Barat ROCKS!
And so was the boys' Dikir Barat!
Syazwan as the Tukang Karut! Not bad not bad! Khai's sitting in the front row right in front of him somewhere....aww the no. 1 fan...HEE...
IT WAS A GOOD SHOW!!! I give it 4/5 stars. And there's a review on it on
http://tpjcian.blogspot.com.

Nabilaaah my fav sec 2 junior! Her brother, Arif was really good too. Very comical and
the best girlies haha. me; fadi; sade.
3. TPJC Guitar/Band Concert '08, Saturday 31st May 2008Cik Azah & Ayah War picked me up. Naif was going too. Then we picked Cik Yan up. We were like, just on time and we went to the Circle Seats which was upstairs. The view was ok. I finally saw Najihah conducting and I spotted lemme see, De Chong, Hassan, DARYL!, ALIYA!, WAI KHANG! haha... Najihah sat in the front and centre. So proud of her and she really looked very pretty and all. And some people were talking about my cousin behind my back something like "I didn't know Najihah was actually pretty" and the other person said "She's not really that pretty what." Gosh I felt like turning around and saying HEY THAT's MY COUSIN you're talking about.
I loved the last guitar song composed by Mr Terence Choo. Hao Jun really rocked that box he was tapping away with. Band's last song was very entertaining too. 'Sway With Me' and the percussion section danced away. There was this guy, I think he's so talented, he played the drums and then the piano and all sorts of percussion. haha...I think if I was in band I'll join percussion because they were running around here and there and dancing away. ahah so fun! And most of them were j1! This surprises me a lot.
So after, I saw a lot of my MJ GEM seniors and they were surprised to see me in my tudung. haha they said I looked different. (: ok yes i know.
Then met Najihah and Wai Khang ( he can recognise me whoa!) and called Daryl to ask him to come out faster. haha. While talking to Daryl, Sean came out and called him over and hurry hurry ask him take picture with me. HAHAH. I think it was kind of like deer caught in headlights. Like blur blur like tt. Hee...but I couldn't stay and chat lah cos my aunt was waiting and everyone was hungry.
a photo with sean, finally! wahhah. Your hair looks perfectly fine lor haha....people agree with me right? -nodds nodds.
w/ Cik Azah, Naif and Najihah!! woots.
& daryl...
THANK YOU AYAH WAR AND CIK AZAH FOR BLANJA-ING ME ALL THIS. The tickets and the late dinner. I wanted so much to go to Amirah's Grill. YAY so happy! haha. I ordered Norwegian Salmon. Yummy. And their Homemade Ice Cream rocks too. Everything about Amirah's Grill is SHIOK!
4. Sneakers Netball Carnival @ MGS, Sunday 1 June 2008.I was playing with Sneakers team and had to borrow the blue Sneakers jersey from Mu. Woke up at 5.45 am and waited for Mu's dad at the Gongshang stop. Got lost on the way to Methodist Girls'. Got to know my team mates for the day. Maple, Louisa...oh noo forgot their names. Plus Rebeccah formerly frm St Margs and Charis from CEDAR! woots. Honestly dinnoe why Wei Li put me in that team because I'm lousy....ok maybe not so lousy but due to being so out of practice, I felt so sluggish and not really flexible therefore wasn't in the best physical state to be a passable defender. I think it was only because of the others' efforts that I managed to pass the first round while the Cedar teams all got kicked out cos they were playing for fun. Only the C div managed to pass first round. Haiz...plus, Rebecca and Maple were quite driven too unlike back in my sec sch days where carnivals were just slack and play around times...which sometimes got me frustrated...Rebecca and Maple gave me a new perspective and I think it works. Oh I remember another St Margs girl, Naomi! Since sec sch Cedar always played against them now I was in the same team. Haha...very different experience.
Also, we had one team member down cos she sprained her ankle. Really poor thing because she had to stay the whole time with us. So touched! Plus she had to pay carnival fees too. But at least we got the Sneakers Post-it's. Still, I don't think the carnival fees were worth it. It's quite EX!
I played Goal Defence first then I played Wing Defence all the way. I realised that I'm actually either afraid to attack for a ball or just forgot how to. We won all matches in the first round with a draw with Cedar Sec 4 team. Then in the 2nd round, we won 2 lost 2 so we were out. Won Pioneer JC which I'm quite surprised with cos they were quite agressive. But we lost horribly to St Margs B div and RGS B div. HEE...excuse us lah. THey train more than us and they have more team cohesion than us okay. It was a wonder we managed to pass first round me thinks. Anyways it was my first time passing the first round so YAY! to me.
oh btw, our team name was Sneakers Lightning! (:
3. GUITAR BBQ, Monday 2nd June 2008Woke up early. SLs spposed to meet at 9am to meet Chee Ching. But I had to do some chores at home first so I was late. There was ex-co meeting at 10 also in the guitar room so I wasn't that late for that in the end. Plus, Chee Ching forgot what he wanted to give us and he played around with the guitar and eavesdropped on our meeting heh heh. Even though he was trying not to listen but seriously how can u stop urself from listening! haha... So he heard about the CIP I was organising and wanted to perform in it.
Then we went to White Sands foodcourt to eat and I tapau-ed from Burger King (: YAY BK!
* i interrupt to say that I just loooorve how my hair smells now heeee *
The boys bought drinks. The girls bought cake for June babies. Sim Yee and Zhen Xiang went back to school for PW meeting and didn't join us for lunch. Still got time ah they all...ahah. I waited with all their luggage on the steps of Pasir Ris MRT. Wahaha....
We owned one carriage full, well almost, but what with our bags and guitars and coolers. ahha

From left: Crystal( secretary) ; Zhen Xiang(quarter mistress) , Joanna(section leader)
We were trying to spell out " LOVE GEM" can you see? HAHA. *pssst i do not know why Shenna is holding up the number three instead! ahhahaha*
Then met the rest of the members at Bedok MRT at 1pm PLUS PLUS. ahhaha...poor Rachel waited for us at 197's stop for 45 mins and i don't know how long I was waiting at the station too. I was very tired and wanted to sleep...and the excitement hadn't even begun!
We played volleyball, went off to take pretty pictures. I was hungry most of the time because, I think when you're out on the beach you just tend to get hungry and thirsty a lot so next time, BRING LOTS OF PLAIN WATER. Also, I think I got more burnt from the sun. Haiz. I need to get new sunblock since I can't find any already.
This I call, THE SHENNA POSE!!!! Hee...
Then since we are guitar people, we took the guitar out and saaang. The people passing by all looked at us. I do believe some of them stopped and stared to listen to this mini-concert. WAHHAH. Or it may just be my over-active imagination. xD
